Magni TH, an Italian manufacturer of material handling equipment, has signed an agreement with Bobcat to supply a range of rotating telehandlers (RTH) between 18 and 39 meters.
The new machines will be produced in Italy, by Magni TH, with the Bobcat branding and stage V engines. In order to achieve demand Magni has already developed a new facility, allowing the company to produce 3500 rotating telehandlers per year, once at full capacity. This agreement will allow Magni to grow significantly according to their president and founder, Riccardo Magni.
The year 2020 started very well for pleasure boat builders across the Europe but it was battered in mid-year by COVID-19. The Dusseldorf trade show, Boot, held at the end of January, ended with a positive outlook and promising results for 2020. Order books were full, thanks to the great boating mood created in previous years.
The unexpected and violent Covid-19 storm came up in March. Nobody was prepared to face the challenge. Builders had to stop production or to reduce their capacities to a minimum during April and May. Production schedules had to be reorganized according to security measures imposed by the local governments.
On Monday, Nov. 30, 2020, at 9:00 am CST, representatives of two leading international firms will present a free one-hour webinar discussing the construction outlook in Europe and North and South America.
During the session, Power Systems Research and JCB Power Systems will present the latest information on the impact of COVID-19 on construction equipment production. JCB will provide details on emissions in developing engine technologies that are coming to market across the globe.
Scania, a Swedish truck manufacturer, is developing an 18-meter long solar cell-clad trailer that will be able to generate energy from devices along 140m2 of surface area on the sides and roof.
According to the truck manufacturer, the powered trailer will be able to generate fuel saving between 5% and 10% in northern Europe, and up to double that in sunny regions like Spain. The tests are also validating the use of the trailers as power stations to feed the main grid, once they have completed charging the batteries and the vehicle is stationary.
German construction machine manufacturer Wacker Neuson has introduced a new product to their electric range. The EZ17e is an electric zero tail mini excavator with lithium ion batteries and flexible charge management.

The machine can be charged both with household 110v plugs or with a 415 volts quick charging point. In the latter case only four hours are required to complete the charge.
According to the OEM, one battery charge can last a full workday. In addition, it is possible to charge the machine on site while idling. The machine allows monitoring of the power supply of the construction site to make sure it is not overloaded.

This final step of the legislative process confirms that the 12-month extension of certain transitional provisions is officially EU law and is applicable retroactively from July 1, 2020.
This amendment to the Stage V Regulation extends by 12 months the June 30, 2020, and December31, 2020, deadlines for the production and placing on the market of NRMM and tractors fitted with transition engines <56kW and ≥130kW.
Production has resumed in ARGO Tractors plants after being shut down for almost two months. Different measures were put in place in order to comply with government health regulations. In April ARGO started to sanitize the factories and prepare to resume operations. Protection equipment is distributed to workers who must keep social distancing and whose temperature is registered at the entrance of the factories.
PSR Analysis: The prolonged halt in production and the continuous uncertainty related to the development of the coronavirus pandemic had a significant impact on the global agricultural industry and on ARGO tractor volumes. Despite that, with the re-opening of the production lines the Italian OEM was able to address the orderbook received before the start of the lockdown, and at the same time, collect new orders.
According to our forecast, we expect production to be down 16% this year. However, this performance might turn a bit less bitter if the current pandemic evolution does not result in a second wave of lockdowns in the coming months. PSR

In Italy, this week represents a key moment as some industries can resume production. Agricultural and Lawn&Garden OEMs can reopen their factories, although respecting strict regulations that will reduce factory capacity. The same is happening in Spain starting April 13, with all segments resuming work, but with differences across regions. Moreover, many OEMs were not able to meet the new working regulations and could not resume production.
