Solutions for the specific needs of different countries in the country. The "Pavement Technology Festival" is an excellent platform for exchange of knowledge and experience.
The "Pavement Technology Festival" specially set up a product demonstration session, a 3,000-square-meter site, 25 professional road-building equipments, 2 'real-car materials', 'true milling, true paving, true compaction' The product demonstrations have opened the eyes of customers from all over the world, including China, and also showcased the true strengths of Wirtgen, Vogel and Hummer in terms of equipment and application technology. Just as Vögele Brand Marketing Director. Roland Schug said: 'Whether in form or scale, the field demonstration of equipment has always been a highlight of the 'Pavement Technology Festival', and it is also the reason why it is unique in the industry.'
In addition, the Wirtgen Group also exhibited its in-depth understanding of digital measurement and control systems at this event. The GPS-based Autopilot system enables the Wirtgen SP 15 synovial paver to be fully automated Diameter paving operation.

Hummer's HCQ system is capable of measuring With the most important compaction parameters, the driver can find out on the display where further compaction operations are required. Such applications as above can save the client more time and cost while ensuring the precise operation of the equipment and construction quality.
Expert lectures and technical demonstrations show the current and future R&D of the road building industry. For example, Wirtgen's precision leveling, cost-effective milling and advanced recycling technology, VÖGELE's Witos paving process management system. Communication technology connects the pavers, mixing plants and transport vehicles to achieve a more precise and coordinated construction process. Hummer demonstrated its intelligent solutions for compaction, including easy-to-understand Easy Drive. Operating philosophy and its unique horizontal tangential vibration principle, the vibratory wheel maintains continuous ground contact during rapid compaction.
According to reports, the Vögele headquarters factory is undergoing expansion, adding a shipping hall, and further expanding the production facilities.
