A bright future is on offer thanks to strong recoveries in traditional and ‘BRIC’ markets, coupled with substantial investments in new global facilities and products tailored to local needs, believes Volvo Construction Equipment’s new chief executive, Pat Olney.

In a presentation entitled ‘Product renewal key to success in strengthening market’ the new president and chief executive of Volvo Construction Equipment, Pat Olney, has used his first speech to the global press to state that the company is well positioned to benefit from buoyant markets, thanks to a massive product renewal program and significant investments in its industrial structure.

Mr. Olney, speaking in Sweden on May 24th to an audience of 100 leading international trade press journalists, said: “With recoveries now gaining speed in our traditional markets of Europe & North America and continued strong growth in BRIC markets, the prospects for the industry are brightening for those equipment companies with a global industrial and distribution footprint. But although necessary,” he continued, “good distribution is insufficient to succeed in the new-look construction industry. To prosper you have to offer customers products that are much closer suited to their local needs, resources and applications – and this requires a significant rethink of the traditional product offering.”

To emphasize the point, along with outlining an investment program that runs into hundreds of millions of dollars, Mr. Olney also highlighted more than 50 innovative new products that are being introduced in 2011. “It is this combination of reliable, fuel efficient and appropriate products, high production quality and strong aftermarket support that are customers’ order winning criteria today. With these in place Mr. Olney said he believed that Volvo CE was ‘particularly well positioned’ to capitalize on the continued growth in the major markets.

Strategy development
Volvo Construction Equipment, the third largest manufacturer in the industry, has enjoyed strong growth in recent quarters. In the three months January to March 2011 the company’s sales increased by 53% (SEK 15,759 M) and profitability by 70% (SEK 1,708 M). In addition, the first quarter also saw Volvo become the market leader in wheel loaders and excavators in China – by far the world’s largest construction equipment market. The company has also introduced in recent months a widespread product renewal program, with the introduction of Tier 4i/Stage IIIB emission compliant machines that not only emit lower emissions but offer higher productivity and improved fuel economy.

“In addition to developing fuel efficient products, we will continue to capitalize on our strong position in Europe and North America, while at the same time expanding our industrial footprint in the BRIC markets,” concluded Mr. Olney. “It’s good to remember that we remain in a cyclical industry – so we will also concentrate on maintaining a high level of flexibility in the production system.”

Brazil is the key market of the Import & Export Co., Ltd in South America. Last year, the Company’s value of exports to Brazil broke through USD100,000,000, and the market shares for respective main products continued maintaining an absolute advantage. In order to cooperate with distributors for market sales events, the Company has organized XCMG’s First Press Conference for New Products for Overseas Markets, XCMG Quality Long Trip and XCMG’s Brazil Strategy Press Conference, which has further improved the confidence of distributors, and expanded the influence of XCMG’s Brands.

The Import & Export Co., Ltd will seize the opportunity of 2016 Olympic Games to be held in Rio de Janeiro of Brazil, to expand the sales system and technical support in the southern part of Brazil and to improve the service quality for customers. It will persist in introducing new products different from those of the competitors into the market, and strengthen the direct training for the personnel of the technical service center by technical engineers, so as to strive for greater breakthrough in Brazil market.

Boardwalk Pipeline Partners Orders Cat^® G16CM34 for Hall Summit Project Extension

Boardwalk Pipeline Partners recently selected the Cat^® G16CM34 to power an extension of the Hall Summit Project located thirty miles south of Shreveport, Louisiana. Boardwalk’s order marks the sale of the 100^th gas compression engine, a significant milestone for Caterpillar Global Petroleum and a testament to the proven performance of the GCM engine family. The G16CM34 is a V-16, four stroke natural gas petroleum engine with an 8180 bhp (6100 bkW) at 750 rpm power rating. Chosen over gas turbines and other reciprocating engines for the expansion project, the engine will be used to add horsepower and serve as a backup for compression at the site. The G16CM34 will be delivered to Enerflex, who will utilize their block mounted design and package the gas compression engine for Boardwalk.

“The superior performance of the G16CM34 will reduce operating costs, add process flexibility and serve as an efficient driver for the Hall Summit pipeline expansion,” said Jeremy Valero, Caterpillar Global Petroleum Major Account Manager. “This particular order represents an outstanding achievement for Caterpillar Global Petroleum. We’re proud to have 100 GCM engines powering gas compression in the natural gas pipeline market today.”
