The company says the existing -9 Series excavators are firmly established in all major markets with a strong reputation for reliability and value for money.
“Building on this position of strength, Hyundai has begun an update programme which will see the introduction of a new –9A Series, and the first machines of the new range will make their debut appearance at INTERMAT 2012,” says the company.
The most significant change in this programme is the introduction of EU Stage IIIb-compliant diesel engines, with reduced exhaust emissions and improved fuel economy, and other operating and control system refinements.
There will also be the global public launch of the giant new flagship model, the 120tonne R1200-9 excavator.
