his year’s ConExpo-Con/Agg exhibition in Las Vegas
takes place from 4 – 8 March. As one of the major
global construction equipment exhibitions this year, it is
expected to see plenty of new machines launched.
Last held in 2011, the exhibition sees visitor numbers in the
region of 130,000. This year over 2,400 exhibitors will take part
and the total indoor and outdoor exhibition space will come to
213,680 m
2
. This year’s show sees a new outdoor space added,
the Platinum Lot, which will be located across from the South
Hall, and will provide 35,953 m
2
of space.
As ever, new regulations on engine
exhaust emissions will play a big part in
what machines are being launched. This
year sees the introduction of the Tier 4
Final regulations in the US and their
equivalent, Stage IV in Europe.
That should mean plenty of new
machines being unveiled at ConExpo.
However, there are also various flexibility
allowances and other provisions in place
to help manufacturers make the transition
from one engine regulation to the next. In
other words, don’t expect everything
you see at ConExpo
to be a brand new
machine with a Tier 4
Final engine.
