R 9150
Automatic Idle Control
Electronic idle control of the engine
results in:
• Less fuel consumption
• Less load on the engine
• Reduced emissions
• More comfort to the operator
(reduced noise pollution)
Sustainable Manufacturing Process
With an ever-present green focus, Liebherr
contributes to the sustainable development:
• Systematic risk analysis for new materials
qualifi cation
• Promoted recovery-waste management
• Controlled non-recyclable waste elimination
• Eco-friendly material selection
(95% of material used on machine is recyclable)
Environment
Liebherr considers the preservation of the environment as a major challenge for
the present and future. Sustainability underpins Liebherr’s machines; from raw
materials selection to manufacturing process employed. Liebherr provides solu-
tions that allow customers to balance high performance with environmental con-
sciousness.
Minimized Impact on Life
Optimized Fuel
Consumption
Constant power regulation of the hydraulic system
and engine output optimizes machine fuel effi ciency,
depending on the application. The automatic idling
system reduces the engine speed when the machine
is at rest. When less power is required, ‘‘Eco-Mode’’
can be selected via the machine monitor panel to
reduce engine load, improve fuel effi ciency and
reduce carbon emissions.
Controlled Emission
Rejections
The R 9150 is powered by a high horsepower
diesel engine which complies with the USA/EPA
Tier 2 emission limits. This power drive makes the
R 9150 cost effective without compromising produc-
tivity whilst reducing the machines impact on the
environment.
Sustainable Design and Manufacturing Process
Extended Components
and Fluids Lifetime
Liebherr is constantly working on ways to extend
component life. Through the Exchange Components
program, superior lubrication systems, and the
reinforcement of parts under stress, Liebherr can
reduce frequency of part replacement. The result
minimizes environmental impact and lowers the
overall cost of ownership.
Product Life-Cycle
Management
Subject to the stringent European Program for
the regulation of the use of chemical substances
in the manufacturing process REACH*, Liebherr
undertakes a global evaluation to minimize the
impacts of hazardous materials.
*REACH is the European Community Regulation on chemicals and their safe use (EC1907/2006)
It deals with the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemical Substances.
