The SUPER 2100-5 X is proving its worth on the Anhanguera motorway in Brazil, repairing rain damage and making it safe for traffic again.

In the north of the São Paulo region, a Brazilian cane sugar producer is relying on a Vögele asphalt paver and employee-training courses for the paving of its internal road network.

With the commissioning of an RPP 3000 Plus at its site in Luhe-Wildenau, bam is investing in energy-efficient and cost-effective technology that is fit for the future.

The new SUPER 1803-5 X wheeled paver delivers impressive performance in the Mont Blanc Tunnel, scoring top marks with its “Dash 5” technologies.

The old surface layer is being removed on the State Highway 7, the Via Appia. The Wirtgen W 210 XF ensures an evenly milled surface.

Warm mix asphalt demands fast compaction. For maximum quality, the construction company used Hamm tandem rollers with Smart Compact Pro.

The surface layer and the binder course of a 3.5-km section of the A60 north of Bitburg was rehabilitated with a train of state-of-the-art machines from the Wirtgen Group.

Thanks to the new BLS 4 control system, the asphalt mixing plant in Busswil will continue to reliably produce high-quality rolled asphalt and mastic asphalt.

The Edge Detection laser sensor ensures precise paving and reduces operator workload.

As of January 2027, warm mix asphalt will be the new mandatory standard construction method in Germany. Asphalt mixing plants become the crucial factor for successful use of WMA.

A first for bam: The new BLS 4 control system impresses with an intuitive operating concept, smart lifecycle management and state-of-the-art cybersecurity.

Automation solutions reduce the machine operator’s workload, increase efficiency, promote process reliability, and reduce material consumption. With Grade Assist, AutoTrac, and Smart Pave, Vögele provides three particularly clever helpers.

A major step forward: by bringing an RPP plant online, Usicity is ushering in a new era in the technology for asphalt production in South America.

Training with responsibility: Trainees set up the prototype for the new CORE asphalt mixing plant on Benninghoven’s company premises.

The Wirtgen Group offers practical training with and on its machines to ensure that users can operate them with absolute confidence right from the start.

From 20 to 22 May 2026. Hamm AG in Tirschenreuth hosted this year’s AZUBI techdays – taking part this year, 80 trainees from the brand headquarters of the Wirtgen, Vögele, Hamm, Kleemann and Benninghoven product brands.

From 4 to 6 June 2025, Wirtgen GmbH in Windhagen played host to this year’s AZUBI techdays – taking part this time around: 66 trainees from the brand headquarters of Wirtgen, Vögele, Hamm, Kleemann and Benninghoven.

Long before the idea of the digital construction site, Wirtgen recognised the importance of smart technologies for the improvement of construction processes – solutions that ensure precision and efficiency until the present day.
