Liebherr researches and develops solutions in the fields of digitalisation and alternative drives, helping to shape technological advances in many industries. The Group has continued to grow by virtue of making regular investments in its production facilities and its global sales and service network.
The sustainable HVO fuel can be used alone – with no need for engine conversion – or alternatively it can be mixed with fossil diesel.
Liebherr places great emphasis on openness to technology. That’s where eco-friendly energy sources, including the alternative fuel HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oils), play an important role. HVO is obtained from used cooking oil, leftover fat, waste fats and vegetable oil and can power combustion engines either in pure form or as an additive to fossil-derived diesel. Most of the Group’s construction machines, cranes and mining machinery can already be fuelled with HVO, making them virtually carbon-neutral in their operation. With the aim of providing low-emission solutions to suit the application, Liebherr is continuing to research further alternative drive concepts.
When two become one: the retaining ring and the support ring are placed on top of each other for an exact fit and are ready for use by the tunnel boring machine.
Liebherr produces its largest ever main bearing for tunnel boring machines (TBMs), taking tunnel construction to a new dimension. The roller connection weighs 44 tonnes and has a diameter of nearly 8 metres. Used in the drill head of a TBM, it helps to bore a tunnel approximately the height of a six-storey building. The main bearing is being put into action in one of the world’s largest tunnel boring machines in the south of China, where a large-scale infrastructure project is being rolled out.
The new production facility produces prefabricated truck mixer superstructures for Liebherr-Mischtechnik GmbH.
The expansion of the plant site operated by Liebherr-Werk Bischofshofen GmbH is scheduled for completion in 2023.
The site in Telfs (Austria) is being expanded to include a logistics centre that will house the majority of production materials from mid-2023.
The groundbreaking ceremony marks the start of the journey to the new component plant that will produce large-diameter bearings, gearboxes and hydraulic cylinders in Dalian (China).
The Liebherr LTM 1110-5.2 mobile crane is the modernised successor to the LTM 1110-5.1.
The new LTM 1110-5.2 mobile crane combines the strengths of its predecessor, the LTM 1110-5.1, with a new cab, gearboxes and the next generation of Liebherr crane control: LICCON3. These new additions are complemented by an all-new crane design conceived with telematics and fleet management in mind, setting the benchmark for the future of Liebherr’s all-terrain series. Liebherr developed the LICCON control system for mobile cranes as early as 1989, followed by LICCON2 in 2007. The LICCON3 brings with it new software and programming language, an ultra-fast data bus, significantly more memory capacity and high computing power as well as improved security tools.
In Navarra, Spain, two Liebherr mobile cranes work in tandem to replace three rotor blades with newer ones that have a larger span.
Liebherr crawler excavators, wheel loaders and dump trucks remove demolition material from the Salzbachtal Bridge, which connected the Rheingau with Wiesbaden and Frankfurt for half a century before it was brought down in a controlled explosion.
In Encantado, two Liebherr mobile cranes work in tandem to assemble the arms of the statue with a span of 36 metres.
During the construction of the new railway bridge in Minnevika, a Liebherr piling rig positions the bridge piles in the watery depths of an inland lake.
Discover the latest developments in construction machines, cranes, material handling, mining and components first hand – Liebherr makes it possible at Bauma.
Liebherr presents around 100 exhibits on a show ground spanning 15,000 m2 at the world’s most important exhibition for the construction and mining industry. In keeping with the motto ‘On your site’, the group of companies shows that Liebherr is always on its customers’ side, wherever they are – whether on the construction site itself with high-quality machines or by providing tailored advice, global services and fully comprehensive solution concepts. At the booth, visitors can discover numerous innovations and advancements in the fields of construction machinery, cranes, material handling, mining and components. This also includes digital solutions and assistance systems, which will be presented in technology pavilions and at machinery exhibitions, among other events. The presentation of the R9 XX H2, Liebherr’s first hydraulic excavator to be powered by a hydrogen engine, marks a major milestone for the company. It even wins the climate protection category of the 2022 Bauma Innovation Award.
The FNb 5056 freezer is the first hybrid model to feature a door using the innovative BluRoX technology.
Conventional foam insulation is old news: Liebherr is the only manufacturer in the world to use a vacuum in conjunction with perlite to insulate its appliances. Thanks to its very low thermal conductivity and vacuum properties, the lava stone perlite ensures the best possible energy efficiency in a more compact design. Consequently, the new BluRoX models offer 25 % more space for food and reduce power consumption by up to 20 %. And the lava stone is itself a sustainable design choice, since the naturally renewable raw material can be reused without any problems. The first vacuum perlite models appearing under the name BluRoX appear on the market as early as 2023.
The 4-star hotel is located in the impressive mountain region of Montafon in Austria, and provides guests with a luxurious and unforgettable stay.
The addition of a new building at Liebherr’s Oberopfingen site (Germany) represents an expansion in production for hydraulic cylinders in the component product segment.
In order to return the Mònica bell to the bell tower of La Seu Vella Cathedral, where it was originally located in 1486, the LTC 1050-3.1 had to pass through two stone arches that were only three metres high.
At an altitude of 2000 metres and with no space for derrick booms or suspended ballast, a Liebherr crawler crane overcomes the odds.
Building the Filstal Bridge took approximately 55,000 cubic metres of concrete and approx. 7,700 tonnes of steel.
