High fuel efficiency hydraulic transmission system for earthmoving equipment

本项目的目的是开发一种新技术，通过改进和开发JCB挖掘机上的液压动力输送系统，使其效率大大提高。使用这项新技术，机器在任何给定的操作中消耗的能源都要少得多，因此降低了总体燃料消耗率、二氧化碳排放总量和设备的其他有害污染物。因此，使用这种机械的所有建筑项目的碳足迹将大大减少。平均而言，一台20吨的挖掘机每年将减少约16吨的二氧化碳排放量。

The purpose of this project is to exploit a novel technology whereby the hydraulic power delivery system on the JCB excavator is modified and developed to be substantially more efficient. In using this new technology the machine will consume far less energy for any given operation, hence reducing the overall fuel consumption rate, the total CO2 emissions and other harmful pollutants from the equipment. As a result the carbon footprint of all construction projects using this machinery will be substantially reduced. On average, the CO2 emissions of a single 20 tonne excavator will be reduced by an estimated 16 tonnes per year.
