Beth Bartow’s Lifelong Career Spans Decades, Two Continents
By Patricia O’Brien
CEG CORRESPONDENT
Beth Bartow grew up in the heavy equipment industry, while the industry grew and changed around her. Currently the Case business manager southeast of Case Construction, Bartow’s first job in high school, unbeknownst to her, would be the start of a lifelong career that would span decades and several countries around the globe.
“I started working for Hoffman Equipment, in Piscataway, N.J., when I was in high school. It’s a familyowned business. I started filling in during school vacations. They asked if I wanted to come on board and work in sales. The people were super, and it was an interesting business. My education really started there,” said Bartow, whose first role in inside sales gave her the opportunity to learn the whole business, including accounting, parts and service.
Bartow stayed with the Hoffman family for several years. But just like living at home, there comes a time when you need to leave the nest. She was offered a position with Daewoo Equipment as an inside sales manager and accepted this new challenge.
A woman in the role of territory sales manager was unusual in the mid 1980s, particularly in the New York City metropolitan area.
Over the next several years, Bartow held a variety of field sales roles for some heavy hitters in the industry, including H.O. Penn in Connecticut and ALLU Manufacturing in New Jersey. Her big break came when a headhunter working on behalf of Caterpillar Redistribution Services contacted her to discuss filling the role of senior sales regional manager, working out of Florida. She accepted the job and headed south, successfully growing Caterpillar’s used equipment and rental business.
Three years later, Bartow answered a call from Cat’s European group to replicate that success in Europe.
Her work meant traveling throughout England, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Latvia and Ireland.
“What was interesting was here I was this ‘pushy American woman’ coming in and telling these men how to run their used equipment business,” she recalled. “To this day, I’m thankful to Cat for that experience. It helped me grow as a person and as a businesswoman. It was an experience that you don’t get every day.”
After two years in this role, Bartow returned to the United States. She held senior sales manager roles with Cat’s used equipment division, Terex and Volvo. She then took her vast experience in the construction equipment industry to software manufacturer Decisiv Inc. as director of business development. She was there for five years before an opportunity opened with Case as dealer development manager.
“I started with Case in September 2021. They had a reorganization with the purpose of becoming more customerfacing. In March of this year, I was asked to take over the role as the Case business manager, southeast,” said Bartow, the only female field regional business manager in the company. As business manager, she covers the Case dealers from Florida to North Carolina.
Bartow’s success has not come easy and certainly not without its challenges, but she’s happy with the path she chose.
“I wouldn’t change it for anything. I never thought I would get into construction. I thought I was going into retail and fashion. Construction was easy; it was like being home. It felt comfortable. This is what I know. Each move I made was a platform to the next.
“Everywhere I go, I have to prove myself to somebody,” she added. “I don’t see men having to prove themselves when they come into the field. One of the best pieces of advice I got early in the industry is to just be a sponge and soak up everything, so that’s what I did. The thing I’ve found in my travels is that there are people who will help you along the path and I’ve been very fortunate to have some very good managers to help me.”
Bartow will gladly offer advice to women looking to break into the construction industry, but her most important piece of advice comes before a decision is made.
“Interview, interview, interview. Make sure you’re going to be the right fit for that location. They will dazzle you with an offer, but see where the opportunities are for growth. You’re not going to want to stay in that position for the rest of your life. Are they providing the tools to help you grow? Then that’s the place you want to be.” CEG

Page 40 • August 6, 2022 • www.constructionequipmentguide.com • Paving Section • Construction Equipment Guide New NAPA Report Unveils Emissions Inventory for Asphalt Mix Production
Cradle-to-gate emissions associated with asphalt mix production in the United States represented approximately 0.3 percent of total U.S. greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2019. By comparison, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency data indicate that transportation emissions from fossil fuel combustion represented 27.8 percent of total emissions in 2019, while industrial emissions represented 25.3 percent.
That’s according to a new report from the National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA), authored by its director of Sustainable Pavements, Joseph Shacat; vice president of Engineering, Research, & Technology, J. Richard Willis; and TriSight LLC partner Ben Ciavola.
The report, GHG Emissions Inventory for Asphalt Mix Production in the United States (SIP 106), is the first national cradle-to-gate assessment of GHG emissions associated with the production of asphalt pavement mixtures that uses a life cycle assessment-based methodology.
The emissions inventory includes upstream raw materials inputs, transportation of those materials to the production site, and plant emissions (including upstream energy processes) for the years 2009 to 2019.
“Publishing this report puts NAPA and the asphalt pavement industry at the forefront of transparency among carbon emitters,” said NAPA President and CEO Audrey Copeland. “We’re demonstrating our commitment to doing better — as prescribed in The Road Forward initiative we announced in January — by taking stock of where we are and identifying proven as well as innovative strategies to reduce carbon emissions.”
“To our knowledge, this is one of the first cradle-to-gate GHG emissions inventories for any major U.S. industry,” added Shacat. “While there are several studies that show cradle-to-gate emissions intensities for various industries, we’re not aware of any publicly available reports that add up all of the emissions for a given industry nationwide.”
Jim Mertes, director of Environmental Affairs at Construction Resources Management Inc., A Walbec Group Company, and chair of NAPA’s Sustainability Committee, described the report as “a comprehensive industry benchmark, which can be used to measure future industry improvements in carbon reduction.”
What’s more, said Mertes, “It identifies what we can achieve using existing strategies and technologies and demonstrates the unprecedented technological challenge ahead to get to net zero.”
By identifying “avoided emissions,” the report demonstrates how existing environmentally preferable technologies like reclaimed asphalt pavements (RAP), reduced-temperature asphalt mix production (called warm-mix asphalt, or WMA), and switching to alternative fuels for plant operations have already had an industry-wide impact on limiting

Page 42 • August 6, 2022 • www.constructionequipmentguide.com • Paving Section • Construction Equipment Guide Hamm’s Environmentally-Friendly Solutions Can Increase Machine Life
HAMM from page 35 comply with the statutory regulations.
One of the flagship projects to date is the construction of a geothermal system. It has been heating and cooling the administration building since 2013, yielding savings of around 86 t of CO2 per year.
At the plant in Tirschenreuth, the energy demand for lighting was almost halved in 2019 by switching to LED lights. This also saves over 80 t of carbon dioxide every year. Optimizations in the compressed air cycle also reduce the electricity/energy demand by 50,000 kWh. That corresponds to close to 5 t of CO2.
All Divisions Under
Magnifying Glass
Since 2018, an environmental protection manager has been advancing the further minimization of raw material and energy consumption, waste, packaging and emissions of solvents (VOCs) and placing all divisions under the magnifying glass. In this way, Hamm is improving its ecological footprint through large-scale measures as well as numerous finely detailed projects.
At the moment, the energy demand for heating also is being drastically reduced, as well as the consumption of fresh water in production. There also are very high standards regarding waste water and low noise emissions from the plant. Alongside this, paperless production is to be introduced in the near future.
Recycling, Recuperation
Waste is also a key focus.
“By implementing numerous individual measures, by 2023 we will have reduced the waste per produced machine by approximately 20 percent compared with 2019,” said Plant Manager Dirk Pressgott.
In production, an innovative painting process reduces the amount of paints and solvents used while offering the same paint quality. Hamm also recycles the solvents used for cleaning the painting systems.
Internal logistics also saves energy by optimizing routes and also uses quiet electric forklift trucks. Shortly before the rollers leave the plant, the brake energy is recovered via recuperation at the test bench, which all machines pass. Intelligent Solutions Instead of Materials
In general, “intelligent solutions instead of materials” applies in purchasing and logistics at Hamm. Special transport racks therefore render much of the packaging superfluous. And, due to a 4PL strategy, there are virtually no empty runs when supplying purchased parts and semi-finished products. In addition to these measures, suppliers are selected based on their environmental certification and training of employees with a view to environmental protection.
Through dialog with the design and production departments, Hamm also has been continuously reducing excess packaging and optimizing transport capacity for many years. Recycled plastics also are used wherever possible for constructing rollers.
Environmentally-Friendly
Products, Compaction Solutions
With regard to products, Hamm follows the objective of “developing lowconsumption machinery and machine control systems that ensure an efficient and, therefore, resource-friendly work process on the construction site,” said Axel Römer, head of research and development.
Specific examples of this are compaction with oscillation, which emits little noise and conserves resources; process optimization through digital tools and networking; and consumption-reducing technologies in the area of the power train.
Hamm rollers also can be operated with non-fossil fuels such as biodiesel or hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO). Today, many machines can already work with these types of fuels, and applications are being expanded. Biodegradable hydraulic oils also are part of the standard supply range.
Environmentally-Friendly
Operation, Service for
Long Machine Life
Durable products are especially sustainable. This is where Hamm’s telematics system comes in to play, as the service life of the rollers is extended through regular maintenance — and with optimal availability. The long service life of Hamm rollers also is reflected in the spare part philosophy. Hamm still supplies customers with spare parts for all models ever built. Moreover, most spare parts can be ordered separately — not just in assemblies.
Sustainable Shipping
Hamm relies on sustainable materials when shipping spare parts. Films and plastic are avoided as far as possible, and polystyrene packing peanuts are taboo. Instead, Hamm packages spare parts in cardboard; packing paper acts as a fill material and padding. Moreover, Hamm receives a large portion of spare parts and wear parts already ready to ship with the corresponding packaging. Materialintensive repackaging — quite common in the sector — is therefore not required.
Wave Goodbye to
Paper Consumption
A shift also can be seen in machine documentation — it has been completely moved to data carriers. In its inhouse documentation center, Hamm prints documents only upon request based on the “print on demand” principle. It has therefore been possible to reduce the need for paper by more than 70 percent.

Page 44 • August 6, 2022 • www.constructionequipmentguide.com • Paving Section • Construction Equipment Guide Trimble’s NextGen 3D Paving Control Improves Productivity, Rideability
Trimble introduced in 2021 the Roadworks 3D paving control platform for asphalt pavers, the next-generation platform for 3D asphalt paving control systems.
Trimble Roadworks is a highly accurate, automatic 3D screed control system that can significantly improve paving productivity and rideability by directly referencing the design rather than a surface or stringline to minimize asphalt usage, reduce waste and overruns and finish projects on time and under budget, according to the manufacturer.
Intuitive Software,
Flexible Hardware
The Android-based application runs on the 10-in. touch-screen Trimble TD520 display. Trimble Roadworks software has a familiar interface for Trimble users, designed for operator efficiency. Colorful graphics, natural interactions and gestures, and self-discovery features make the software intuitive and easy to learn.
Operator scan personalize the interface to match their workflow; configurable views make it easier to see the right perspective for maximum productivity. Modern software and hardware give operators of all skill levels the ability to work faster and more productively than ever before.
Trimble Roadworks leverages Trimble’s proven system hardware, rugged and durable for tough paving conditions. By design, utilizing components from Trimble Earthworks increases the portability of the hardware and increases return on investment, according to the manufacturer.
Using the Android operating system, users also can download other third-party applications that provide the operator with additional useful tools inside the cab.
“Trimble Roadworks is easy to learn and more accessible for many different types of contractors because it leverages the intuitive Trimble machine control interface and applies it to asphalt pavers,” said Kevin Garcia, general manager of Trimble Civil Construction Specialty Solutions.
“This platform also makes it possible to include Trimble’s industry-leading paving technology as part of a connected site ecosystem of solutions, which is valuable for complex infrastructure projects.” Connectivity
Office-to-field connectivity reduces waste and overruns with efficient communication and data transferring across the project. Using a Trimble SNM941 Connected Site Gateway, Trimble Roadworks allows the transfer of 3D designs from the office to the machine via the cloud so that the operator is always using the latest design. In addition, productivity data collected from the machine is automatically synced back to the office. Availability
Trimble Roadworks 3D paving control platform for asphalt pavers is now available globally through the worldwide SITECH distribution channel.
The Android-based application runs on the 10-in. touch-screen Trimble TD520 display. Trimble Roadworks software has a familiar interface for Trimble users, designed for operator efficiency.

Page 46 • August 6, 2022 • www.constructionequipmentguide.com • Paving Section • Construction Equipment Guide Bomag’s BM 2200/65 Sets Standard for Performance
With its lighter, more compact and highly maneuverable design, the new Bomag BM 2200/65 large planer raises the bar for performance and operating ease and comfort for mills in its class.
A modest, 58-in. milling radius — up to 14 percent smaller than other models — improves machine productivity in the field, increasing efficiency in tight-radius applications like small roundabouts and cul-de-sacs, according to the manufacturer.
Its conveyor offers a 16-ft. discharge height plus larger, 130-degree conveyor slewing angle — 65 degrees to the left/right of center — allowing material to be efficiently discharged into trucks on both sides of the mill. To facilitate transport, the conveyor retracts to a length 23.6 in. shorter than previous designs.
Meeting Tier IV Final/Stage V emissions standards, the mill’s powerful 630 hp (470 kW) engine effectively matches power with milling speed for greater operating efficiency. The slim profile of the advanced Bomag BMS15L quick-change cutting tooth holder system reduces resistance and delivers up to 20 percent fuel savings.
System design extends holder service life to lower costs. Offering a range of milling drum designs and the choice of three different rotor speeds to tailor rotor speed to the job, the BM 2200/65 planer can be used on a wide range of asphalt and concrete milling applications.
Intuitive operation is the hallmark of the new 60,296-lb. BM 2200/65 half-lane mill. To simplify milling control, Bomag Easy Cut technology automatically regulates the height of the rear drive, so the rear of the machine follows the front to its set depth, making the operator’s work simpler. Bomag Easy Level clearly displays grade and slope settings on the large 7-in. display, and settings are quickly changed with minimal screen navigation. Comfort, Visibility, Efficiency
Designed for comfort and efficiency, the BM 2200/65’s vibration-isolated operator’s station delivers comfortable operation from either a seated or standing position. Additional cushioning at the platform’s standing areas help to ensure fatigue-free operation. Stepless platform side-shift up to 7.8 in. provides added visibility to the right cutting edge and side plate, allowing the operator to hold the milling line. Minimal navigation with limited submenus to get to machine parameters delivers intuitive, efficient operation, according to the manufacturer.
The mill’s slim contoured design gives the operator all-round visibility to the machine. Enhanced forward visibility offers operators an unprecedented view of the cutting edge, milling track and the front danger zone around the conveyor for exceptional milling precision. A flat rear design offers an improved view of the area behind the mill for increased operating safety.
The standard water spray and dust extraction systems, complete with conveyor shrouding, efficiently removes fine particulate matter from the machine. Removing up to 80 percent more fine dust particles smaller than 10 microns in size, the optional Bomag ion dust shield meets the most stringent fine dust regulations.
With all key machine service points easily accessible, routine maintenance is completed quickly and efficiently. All filters can be conveniently reached from the operator’s platform through the wide-opening engine hood, as are the fill ports for fuel and AdBlue.
Large left- and right-hand service panels provide simple accessibility to the machine’s auxiliary drive and milling gear, while engine service points are easily accessed from both above and below.

NAPA: New Technology Must Be Developed to Reduce Emissions
NAPA from page 40
emissions.
In 2019 alone, the industry avoided 2.9 million metric tons (MMT) CO2e emissions — equivalent to the annual emissions from approximately 630,000 passenger vehicles.
The authors note that increased implementation of such measures could further reduce emissions by up to 24 percent relative to 2019. In fact, each ton of RAP used in new asphalt mixtures reduced 2019 GHG emissions by approximately 27 kg CO2e.
However, they caution, “Although the report provides an estimate for the national average GHG emissions associated with asphalt mix production, it is not an industry average Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) and should not be used as a benchmark for project-level decision making during procurement or project delivery.”
Nonetheless, the report “will be a valuable tool as discussions with government, agencies, and owners accelerate in the coming years,” said Ron Sines, vice president, Performance — Asphalt, CRH Americas Materials Inc.
“Additionally, it provides clear direction on what the industry should be doing today, as well as what the industry could do in the future, if the identified obstacles can be overcome,” added Sines, who chaired NAPA’s Climate Stewardship Task Force, which created The Road Forward, the industry’s goal to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
To advance that goal, the report states, “New technologies and additional innovative practices will need to be developed and implemented to achieve more significant GHG emission reductions.”
The industry, along with its suppliers, partners and customers, must invest in emission reduction strategies related to materials, transportation, and mix production. Examples include carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS); use of carbon sequestering bio-based materials; use of local recycled materials and alternative fuels for trucking; and technologies that reduce burner fuel consumption.
Raven Adams, vice chair of NAPA’s Sustainability Committee and Granite Construction’s sustainability manager, remarked, “NAPA’s publication of this document will empower our industry to advocate for the funding, research, and support needed to allow us to respond to climate change.”
RAIL from page 1 to operate more trains during rush hour and reduce travel time between Michigan City and Chicago. In addition to increased economic benefits, the project will provide more competitive travel options.
Plans call for a new station and two new high-level six-car platforms at Gary/Miller Station, along with one eight-car storage track and one four-car storage track for additional rush hour trains and an additional 519 parking spaces. At Portage/Ogden Dunes Station there will be one new high-level sixcar platform on the south side of the tracks and an additional 327 parking spaces. Other major upgrades will take place at Dune Park Station, Beverly Shores Station and 11th Street (Michigan City) Station.
The latter includes removal of embedded street-running track along 10th and 11th Streets; two new tracks south of the 10th Street ROW from Sheridan Avenue to the Amtrak crossing near Chicago Street; two new tracks along 11th Street; one high-level four-car platform; one high-level eight-car platform; a new station house with a parking structure with 437 additional spaces; and a new surface parking lot with 108 additional spaces and conversion of 11th Street to oneway automobile traffic.
“In the opening year, service is planned to operate every 16 minutes during weekday peak periods and approximately every 75 minutes during weekday off-peak periods and evenings,” said Barker. “In the horizon year, service is planned to operate every 14 minutes during weekday peak periods and approximately every 70 minutes during weekday off-peak periods and evenings. In both the opening and horizon years, service is planned to operate every 135 minutes on weekends.”
The expected ridership, using current year inputs of population and employment, is 6,000 daily linked trips. This number is expected to grow to 9,700 daily linked trips by horizon year 2040.
“This is a good time to perform the work, in that temporary reductions in ridership due to COVID allowed construction contractors to have maximum access to the rail corridor for construction purposes,” said Barker.
Construction began in early 2022 and will end in mid-2024. WSP USA Inc. is the construction manager of the project, with Walsh/Herzog Joint Venture serving as the primary contractor. Six smaller contractors, including Grimmer Construction, are handling select portions of the work.
“It’s incredibly exciting to be in the actual construction phase,” said Barker. “I’ve been working for the past seven years to get to this point. The entire team has worked so hard to get here, including our project partners at the Federal Transit Administration, Regional Development Authority, Indiana Finance Authority, the state of Indiana and other regional/local partners. It truly took a strong federal, state, regional and local collaborative effort to make this happen. Now, everyone is laser focused to bring the project in on time and within budget.
“The project will provide major improvements to travel time, which is already driving development and drawing people to the area. In essence, most commuters to downtown Chicago travel around one hour, and this project will place a large portion of our system within that hour. Given our wonderful quality of life, adjacency to natural beautiful nationally recognized landscapes like the dunes and vibrant communities, more people will be calling northwest Indiana home as a result.”
Barker noted that monitoring material availability has been critical, as the pandemic affected global supply chains and product availability.
“NICTD procured various items ahead of time to minimize risk, which was a great decision. There are various natural resource restrictions that don’t allow certain activities within certain windows to protect species of concern, such as the Indiana bat. The construction teams must carefully sequence work to ensure all work remains within those windows. The seasonality of work, when overlaid on those restrictions, requires careful attention to small schedule shifts to ensure everything is in alignment.
“We are busing most of our riders during the two-year construction period, which is a challenge for NICTD and our passengers. There also are four bridges that will be constructed. Lastly, having multiple cutovers as we return segments of track into service, along with requisite commissioning and testing and ensuring operability of our Positive Train Control system, are integral to the success of the project.”
Barker explained that moving the streetrunning tracks along 10th and 11th Streets in Michigan City is among the necessary tasks for crews.
“On 11th Street, space is very limited. As a result, we are converting the roadway from a two-way to a one-way single lane street on a permanent basis. The track will be fully separated from the roadway. On 10th Street, we acquired all the houses south of the tracks so we could shift our tracks out of the road and be fully separated from the roadway in the permanent condition.”
Currently, substantial work is taking place in Michigan City, with construction expected to end in the area in November. Crews also are installing culverts throughout the project, and major sewer work is under way in Gary. Teams are preparing to begin con-

Looking for a simple way to improve your grading performance? Now, with Komatsu’s easy and affordable Smart Construction Retrofit Kits, conventional Komatsu excavators can be equipped with 3D guidance and payload monitoring, giving operators and managers alike more ways to help work efficiently and accurately, according to the manufacturer.
Designed to improve grading performance and provide more time- and cost-management tools, Smart Construction Retrofit can bring 3D to most Komatsu excavators in your fleet. Easily installed by a local Komatsu distributor, Smart Construction Retrofit is a low-cost guidance kit that gives operators in the field and managers in the office access to 3D design and payload data to help drive accuracy, control load volumes and improve operations.
“No matter where you are in your Smart Construction journey, we have the expertise to help you integrate and optimize your fleet, based on your specific needs,” said Komatsu’s Ron Schwieters, senior product manager, customer solutions.
Benefits of Smart Construction Retrofit • Gives operators the latest design data • Measures payload volume and load counts • Lets you monitor production from the office
Once a conventional excavator is fitted with Smart Construction Retrofit, operators no longer have to set up a laser or bench every time the machine moves. The global navigation satellite system (GNSS) can determine where a machine is on the job site and what the target grade is. The need for additional labor is reduced because the technology collects and delivers information directly to the operator, so fewer people have to be working on the ground, or in an open trench. Increase Productivity
Machine production can be monitored from the office by integrating Smart Construction applications, and as-built and payload data can be collected for progress tracking. With Smart Construction Retrofit you can reduce handling and reworking material which helps drive both productivity and profitability. The payload meter helps prevent overloaded trucks by promoting proper loading weights for on- and off-road vehicles, to reduce the potential for equipment damage and other risks.

Organizations offering CDL training must be listed on the FMCSA’s Training Provider Registry.
RULE from page 1
Kevin Ridens, director of product support of Ditch Witch Midwest, sees the new rule as a huge burden on employers who are not dedicated motor carriers, but use Class A vehicles to do business every day.
What Passed in the Past
Before the rule went into effect in February, the CDL licensing process was no different than getting a driver’s license.
Candidates studied an instruction book, got their permit and hit the road. They had to pass an inspection and prove they could understand technical terms related to operating a Class A vehicle.
The company would set a timeline and set a licensing window for the employee. The company would say, “You have four months to go get your CDL.”
The employee would study the CDL information in an instruction book, take a test and get the permit.
“The rest of that time he was driving with someone who already had a CDL as his partner,” said Ridens.
Beyond the CDL, still today if the employee is set to be an airbrake driver when he comes in, an automatic is all he’ll be endorsed for.
If he’s going to drive a stick, he’s regulated for everything, explained Ridens.
“But it was all in the hands of that employee to go get everything he needed in the way of licensing and endorsements,” said Ridens.
With the new rule, any driver who doesn’t currently have a commercial Class A license is affected.
In Ridens’ office at Ditch Witch, that’s currently seven people, but it will challenge new hires who don’t come on board with a CDL in hand.
And, if a carrier provides training to employees seeking a CDL, the carrier now has to register as a TPR-approved training provider.
However, the carrier as employer can customize the program to include in-house rigspecific instruction as well as company policy and procedure.
The rule applies to not only over-the-road truck drivers, but anyone applying for a Class A commercial license.

Deere Improves Performance With Its L-Series Upgrades
John Deere’s L-Series backhoe loaders offer significant machine improvements designed to boost productivity, maximize uptime and reduce operating costs.
Ranging across the L-Series Backhoe lineup includes engine upgrades, pressurecompensated load-sensing (PCLS) hydraulics on the 310SL model and machine control improvements, enhance operation and machine performance.
The 310L, 310SL, 315SL, 310SL HL and 410L models are equipped with a 4.5L John Deere PowerTech EWL engine, increasing power, improving torque and providing greater reliability. This Final Tier IV engine results in a boost in horsepower across the models, while the removal of the exhaust gas recirculation system and components improves reliability, according to the manufacturer.
The L-Series also includes improved filter locations for easier access when changing or servicing fuel and diesel exhaust fluid filters. Additionally, the 310SL is now available with PCLS hydraulics.
Already offered on the 310SL HL, 410L and 710L, the PCLS system results in increased productivity and improved backhoe controllability at any engine speed. In addition, trenching operation can be conducted at lower engine rpm, reducing fuel consumption and lowering job site noise.
“We are committed to continuously improving our equipment to offer our customers more value out of their machines,” said Brian Hennings, product manager, John Deere. “With these upgrades, we are directly addressing our customers’ needs. These features build upon the best features found on the L-Series machines, resulting in a lineup designed to power through the toughest jobs.”
The 310SL is equipped with Lift Mode. When enabled, it automatically sets the engine speed to 1,400 rpm and increases max hydraulic pressure to 4,000 psi, for up to a 10 to 15 percent increase in backhoe lift capacity. Additionally, buttons for the horn, selective flow, auxiliary proportional roller and extendable dipper stick have been integrated into the backhoe pilot controls, improving ease of use.
Available as a base offering on the 310SL, 315SL, 310SL HL, 410L and 710L models, AutoShift technology automatically adjusts the transmission to the most appropriate gear for an enhanced operator experience. Additionally, the five models feature Auto Ride Control as the only ride control option, eliminating the need to manually turn on and off during load and carry applications.

FPT Industrial Touts Sustainable Future of Powertrains at Event in Turin, Italy
From July 13 to 17 at the Officine Grandi Riparazioni (OGR) in Turin (Italy), Iveco Group and its brands hosted their many stakeholders for a major, carbon-neutral event called BEYOND — Iveco Group Days.
The aim was to shed light on Iveco Group’s integrated structure and internal business ecosystems, while sharing the company’s purpose, values and future roadmap based on three strategic pillars: technology, sustainability and partnership.
FPT Industrial took center stage on both July 14 and 15 with Sylvain Blaise, president of the Iveco Group Powertrain Business Unit and brand president of FPT Industrial, and two propulsion-themed roundtables.
In his keynote speech “The future of Powertrains”, Blaise stressed the key role that powertrain manufacturers play in developing the powertrain of the future in order to achieve carbon neutrality, and how it is necessary to approach the route to sustainability in a holistic way, with a complete view of the cycle. In addition, he highlighted the importance of low- or zero-carbon energy in terms of sourcing and distribution in achieving the set goals.
It also means ensuring continuity and competitiveness in strategic sectors that use current products and technologies, as well as developing new and greener propulsion solutions designed to be delivered to and adopted by the widest possible customer base in the shortest possible time.
These high-profile themes were discussed in the following roundtables: “Focus on propulsions: technological roadmap”, moderated by Fabrizio Goria, Financial Reporter at La Stampa, and “Propulsion evolution and partnerships ecosystem”, moderated by Alberto Onetti of Mind the Bridge, further evidencing the next steps that FPT Industrial and its partners are taking together.
At the first meeting, participants including Philip Scarth, head of open innovation at FPT Industrial, and Giorgio Ricci, head of manufacturing at FPT Industrial, shared ideas about the future of internal combustion engines as one of the many solutions to reduce emissions and their importance in current agricultural and construction industries, while also discussing the impact of electric evolution on powertrain manufacturing.
During the talk, the speakers indicated the direction that FPT Industrial wants to take, becoming a “game changer” in the electrification era and positioning itself at the center of an ecosystem of skills.
The second roundtable featured, among others, Pierpaolo Biffali, vice president of product engineering at FPT Industrial, who presented the brand’s vision about the decarbonization of industrial On-Highway and Off-Highway sectors. This vision includes a close collaboration with each partner combined with continuous leveraging of both its specific powertrain expertise and partners’ market experience to develop sustainable and successful projects together.
FPT Industrial thanks all its guests and partners who joined the event for their valuable contributions, which further reinforced the open, collaborative, forward-looking spirit that underlies all of FPT Industrial’s partnerships: For the “Focus on propulsions: technological roadmap” roundtable: Daniela Vinci, CEO of Masmec, Sascha Kelterborn, president of Microvast, and Neeta Khare, director of Battery, Fuel Cells & MD at Potenza. For the “Propulsion evolution and partnerships ecosystem” roundtable: Anirudh Bhuwalka, CEO of Blue Energy Motors, Chris Mann CTO of Bennamann, Francesco Farinetti, CEO at Green Pea, board member at Eataly, Partnerships at Fontanafredda, Oscar Baroncelli, head of Tractor Product Management at New Holland Agriculture, and Alessandro Rossi, chief technical officer at Azimut Benetti Group.

I-69 Highway Project Puts Hoffman Bros. Sizable Technology Investment in Focus
HOFFMAN from page 20 models for our operators and send them off.”
However, when it came to delivering up-to-date models to the machines in a timely manner, connectivity became a problem.
The company reached out to Trimble distribution partner SITECH Michigan for advice and were intrigued to learn about Trimble’s Internet Base Station Services (IBSS), a solution that broadcasts Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) corrections from the base station over the Internet, delivers highly accurate GNSS for site positioning and machine control at a low cost.
“SITECH Michigan Rep, Jason Winger, gave us a demonstration, and we were impressed. We decided to give it a try, and after just a day or two of training, we were up and running on our own,” said Bell. “With IBSS, we can connect to all of our equipment from one single base station, which proved invaluable on the I-69 project. As a design-build project, changes happen regularly to fit the existing conditions or accommodate the schedule, and we need to adapt. The transfer of data to our equipment on the job site has been seamless, particularly to the Trimble Earthworks solution.”
Hoffman Bros. completed the first phase I-69 project earthwork on time and on budget.
Partners in Progress
As the project team prepares for the second phase of the I-69 project this year, they also are continuing to look for ways to advance and improve their workflow.
For instance, Bell is looking forward to testing Trimble WorksOS for as-built validation this year on the I-69 project. He’s also looking to give field crews visualization capabilities similar to what operators have using Trimble SiteVision, an augmented reality solution that enables project teams to see spatial data in a real-world context. With Trimble SiteVision, field crews can use Android phones to conduct inspections, track progress and make quick survey measurements—and particularly important on this design-build project, help communicate design adjustments.
“In today’s highly competitive environment, it’s essential that we provide our people with the best possible tools to deliver jobs,” said Bell.
“We’ve utilized Trimble grade con-

In cooperation with SITECH and our engineering partners, we continue to find new ways to improve our project workflows utilizing the latest technological advancements Trimble has to offer.” The I-69 Rebuild project in Eaton and Calhoun counties continues in 2022 with work on phase two, a 12-mi. stretch of the corridor on the northbound side and then the same stretch on the southbound side in 2023.
