Filling up mobile and crawler cranes with HVO fuel? At Liebherr, that's possible. How? Jasmin Ege knows. At the Liebherr booth, right next to the mobile cranes, she provides information on how Liebherr is researching solutions for alternative drives of the future in its technology-neutral approach and what digitalisation has to do with it.
HVO is an alternative fuel made from hydrogenated vegetable oils that can power large proportions of Liebherr's construction machinery, cranes and mining equipment, either in pure form or as an additive to fossil diesel. “At the Liebherr plant in Ehingen, where I work, all new mobile and crawler cranes have been fuelled exclusively with pure HVO since September 2021. This is our contribution to reducing CO2 emissions,” explains Jasmin Ege. “When I look at our impressive product portfolio and see how much Liebherr invests in research and development in the field of alternative drives and colleagues work together, I'm really proud to be part of the Group.”
Jasmin Ege has been working for Liebherr for five years now. Her enthusiasm for Liebherr products grew during her dual studies in business administration and industry. “If there's one thing I wish for from Bauma,” she says with a smile, “it's that I can pass on this enthusiasm to others.”
You can meet Jasmin Ege and her colleagues in at the technology pavillion for mobile and crawler crane area at the Liebherr booth in the outdoor area.
