Walking CONEXPO 2023, the giant international construction show in Las Vegas this month, it was obvious that OEMs are devoting huge amounts of resources to developing alternative power sources for their compact equipment.
Hydrogen powered units and battery packs were common and new products powered by alternative energy sources were popular with attendees. New technology was the name of the game at this year’s show.
However, there were several prototypes that were built only for the show, according to some exhibitors, and were not likely to be put into mass production anytime soon. In fact, one manufacturer told us, “This was manufactured for the purpose of the exhibition and is not intended for mass production.”
More than 2,000 exhibitors displayed new products to nearly 140,000 attendees at the CONEXPO 2023 event in Las Vegas March 14-18. Analysts from Power Systems Research walked the grounds looking at new equipment and talking with exhibitors and attendees. Read their report here. PSR
The 23rd edition of FENATRAN, the International Road Cargo Transport Trade Show, brought together more than 500 brands in the exhibition pavilion of São Paulo Expo, Nov. 7-11, and generated total revenue of about USD 2 billion, more than USD 200 million than the last edition of FENATRAN, held in 2019. Power Systems Research representatives were at the show. Read there reports. PSR
After more than three years, BAUMA, one of the largest construction events in the world, reopened its doors for seven days in Munich Oct. 24. Power Systems Research (PSR) had a five-person team at the event, discussing trends with industry representatives, from new products and services to topics around the future evolution f sustainable technologies.
iVT was a major winner at Bauma in Munich when it was recognized in the hotly contested Climate Protection category in the Bauma Innovation Awards. The hydrogen-combustion machine is the first ever Liebherr hydraulic excavator to be powered by a hydrogen engine
The machine’s prime power source is the H966 hydrogen combustion engine, which has six cylinders and uses port fuel injection (PFI), which Liebherr employs along with direct injection (DI) for its hydrogen engines
Summary. After more than three years, Bauma, one of the largest construction events in the world, reopened its doors for seven days in Munich Oct. 24. Power Systems Research (PSR) had a five-person team at the event, discussing trends with industry representatives, from new products and services to topics around the future evolution of sustainable technologies.
The show was smaller than the last time it was held, in 2019. Close to 3,200 exhibitors from 60 countries (2019: 3,684 exhibitors from 63 countries) participated and more than 495,000 visitors from over 200 countries (2019: 627,603 visitors from more than 200 countries) came to Munich for the event.
Bauma is the world’s leading trade fair for construction machinery, building material machines, mining machines, construction vehicles and construction equipment. International visitors made up about 50% of the attendance. That’s a change from 2019 when about two-thirds of visitors came from Germany.
The Cannes YachtingFestival is one of the largest in-water shows in the world, and this year it celebrated its 45th birthday. Founded in 1977, the show normally takes place every September. However, it missed out in 2020 because of Covid-19 restrictions, but it was back in 2021, posting the best performance results ever.
This year, the show was held Sept 6-11, and featured a fleet of about 700 boats, ranging in length from 3 to 50 meters. It included motor and sailing vessels, monohulls and multihulls, inboards, sterndrives and outboards, diesel, petrol, waterjet, hybrid and electric, tenders, RIBs and others displayed in the two main city ports of Le Vieux Port and Port Pierre Canto. This year, more than 56,000 visitors attended the show.
The new Polish Sunreef 80 Eco was the star of the festival. The all-electric, fully autonomous luxury catamaran of 23.87 m in length, 164 m2 covered with solar panels, is a unique boat in the industry. This luxury catamaran is equipped with ultra-light batteries with a density of 5.2 kg/kWh. The innovative system is entirely created and produced by the company itself offering the best efficiency in the marine world.
STUTTGART, Germany— One critical trend emerged during my conversations with many industry players at the Battery Show Europe and the Electric & Hybrid Vehicle Technology Expo Europe here last month: Battery thermal management is an important element in EV development and operations.
I attended the Battery Show Europe here June 27-30 with Dalibor Sablic, PSR senior business development manager-Europe.
An estimated 6,000 attendees walked the floor to discuss products and services with nearly 600 exhibitors at the show. There was a positive energy and outlook for the future of the e-mobility industry, a refreshing change in atmosphere following many quiet months caused by the COVID pandemic.
During the show, I had an opportunity to meet with representatives of Dow and learn about the wide array of products and services the company is developing for the e-mobility segment.
The Battery Show Europe and the Electric & Hybrid Vehicle Technology Expo Europe is scheduled to be held June 28-30 at the Messe Stuttgart in Stuttgart, Germany. More than 6,000 attendees are expected to tour the show and visit the more than 540 exhibiting suppliers.
Power Systems Research (PSR) will have a team of analysts at the show collecting data and developing insights on alternative power sources. The team includes
Emiliano Marzoli, PSR manager of European Operations
Dalibor Sablic, PSR senior business development manager-Europe
Guy Youngs, PSR Forecast and Technology Adoption Lead
The show is one of the largest in Europe and features manufacturers, suppliers, engineers, thought leaders and decision-makers and is focused on the latest developments in the advanced battery and automotive industries.
The last two years have seen a turnaround in the global economy and the way of doing business. Many habits have changed, and trade shows were severely impacted by the pandemic. For 2022, however the MEE is back live in Dubai. The floor plan has been reduced, removing roughly half of the space used in previous edition. This is not a surprise considering that the show was not busy in 2020, with many last-minute withdrawals, and that it was cancelled for 2021. With many countries around the world relaxing Covid restrictions, attendance was positive, with the halls and stands buzzing during the show. One common comment, it’s good to be back.
The energy sector is thriving now, pushed by investments in renewables and need for backup power. During the last few years, critical power (Data centres and hospitals), infrastructure investments and telecommunication have created a strong demand for diesel and gas generators.
However, the current supply chain shortages, logistic issues and rising costs have represented a tricky challenge for the industry. From OEMs to engines and components suppliers, companies are working around the clock to find solutions to deliver their products to partners and customers.
While in the third quarter of 2021, there was optimism looking at 2022, things are not developing as hoped. In fact, most companies reported an even more challenging environment, with components and raw material shortages continuing, rising prices, and increasing shipping costs. As already mentioned, during our 2021 forecast, we are not expecting a significant improvement in the supply chain until 2023. PSR
