In his speech, Professor Wolfgang Poppy underlined the reasons for the jury’s decision, namely the machine’s shapely design, ease of operation and ergonomics. The product design of the 6th generation wheel loaders brings out the powerful nature of the machines, makes their technical merits apparent and clearly distinguishes the series from its competition. What’s more, their design ensures even greater efficiency in terms of maintenance and cleaning.

The 6th generation comprises six models with tipping loads ranging from 11,650 kg to 20,430 kg and bucket capacities of between 3.2 m³ and 5.5 m³. These wheel loaders, renowned for their outstanding fuel efficiency, are powered by the latest 130- to 250-kW Liebherr diesel engines which, of course, comply with the statutory Stage IIIa / Tier 3 exhaust and noise emissions for construction-machinery engines.
