Construction in the U.S. and Europe is showing signs of recovery, while China and other emerging markets are slowing down. Offering a snapshot of the resulting shift in equipment demand is Bauma, the triennial construction megaexpo said to be the world’s largest trade show, where more than 500,000 construction professionals, suppliers and vendors will descend on Munich on April 11-17. Messe München, the organizer of the show, expects almost 3,400 exhibitors from more than 50 countries. The show will encompass over 6.5 million sq ft of the Messe München exhibition center.

减少专注于金砖国家

With financial turmoil in China and low oil prices dragging down the Russian economy, the new markets for construction equipment that looked secure only a few years ago are now a bit less attractive.

进入巴西，俄罗斯，印度和中国（Bric）的新兴市场的努力已减少。这也适用于在最近的繁荣时期生长的金砖四国制造商。鲍马（Bauma）的中国设备制造商渴望证明其机械价值，因为中国国有建筑公司的需求可能会升级。

广西Liugong Construction Machinery Co. Ltd.正在推动新机器，希望利用以前在中国以外未出售的设备。

总部位于中国的Liugong广西副总裁David Beatenbough说：“在中国很难发展市场份额。”他说：“因此，我们已经意识到了很长时间，中国市场放缓了我们未来的增长必须是中国以外的增长。”

LiuGong is known for its wheel loaders but has expanded into excavators in recent years. At Bauma, it will be showing seven excavators in classes ranging from 3.5 tons to 50 tons. The smallest, the 9035E, will be a zero-tail-swing model, a popular feature in Europe and the U.S. and a first for the China-based manufacturer. Four of LiuGong’s excavators will have Tier 4 Final diesel engines, and all will be available with Tier 4 Final by the end of 2016.

全球排放控制措施较少的机器将继续出售，但Beatenbough表示，Liugong专注于进入北美并在欧洲扩张。[扩展到发达市场]甚至更强大。”他指出。

高科技进入标准

With construction starts on the rise in the U.S. and indications that Europe also is recovering, equipment makers are offering features as standard that were formerly premium. Bauma will showcase compact designs for crowded jobsites and machine controls for greater automation—sought-after features for developed markets. Wirtgen will have a compact milling machine that needs only one operator, while JCB is showing off a small-profile backhoe for urban jobsites. Machine controls for earthmoving are becoming less of a premium feature, as well. While Topcon Positioning Systems will update and make globally available its 2D and 3D control offerings, Komatsu plans to introduce a new intelligent dozer.

商品价格阻止采矿

每个鲍马博览会上的一些最明显的设备是与提取行业相关的大型矿业卡车和其他设备。但是随着商品价格下跌，对新采矿设备的热情可能比上一场演出更柔和。Liebherr的发言人Gerold Dobler观察到：“大型机器在鲍马方面看起来不错。”该公司计划在Bauma首次亮相其R9200采矿挖掘机。R9200在200吨重的范围内工作，将是整个演出中最大的设备。他补充说：“我们致力于采矿场，尽管商品价格是市场的，但市场恢复时我们将在那里。”

Perhaps anticipating lessened interest from mining-focused firms, show manager Messe München will try to highlight mining-related offerings. “In 2016, we have a focus on mining because we think that mining is getting more and more important for the construction machinery industry as a whole,” says Stefan Rummel, the show agency’s managing director.

隧道设备巨头Herrenknecht AG将有一个单独的摊位来展示其知名的采矿设备。“采矿对我们来说是很新的，” Herrenknecht的女发言人朱莉娅·赖希温（Julia Reichwein）说。该公司以其巨大的隧道钻孔机而闻名，它将展示用于采矿的盒洞钻机。她说：“我们现在有更多的开采18luck官网项目，这是我们第一次分别采用这些机器的机会。”
