BITAFAL GROUP AT CONEXPO 2023
Grupo Bitafal was present at the 2023 edition of Conexpo-Con/Agg, the largest construction machinery fair in America, held from March 14 to 18 in Las Vegas.
With more than 2,400 exhibitors from 36 countries and an exhibition area of 275,000 m2, the fair was attended by more than 139,000 registered attendees from 133 countries, including 24,000 international attendees. With a focus on sustainability and electrification, the fair showcased the latest innovations in hydrogen-powered and electric construction equipment, as well as more recyclable materials and waste reduction opportunities.
In pavement recycling equipment, new and more efficient technologies appear for a better use of the material and that it does not end up in landfills. Some of the innovations for cold recycling and soil stabilization is the AutoTrac satellite assisted steering system for Wirtgen recyclers. This system allows the precise and efficient processing of a project, controlling the machine with a precision of centimeters following a previously elaborated reference track and a defined overlap of the adjacent tracks. This leads to an increase in the efficiency of the processes and, therefore, to achieving greater environmental compatibility.
In addition, information technologies continue to advance in all featured equipment where all relevant and location-specific work parameters are recorded in a comprehensive database for site analysis and documentation. For example, for soil stabilizers, the working width and depth, the worked path and surface, fuel consumption and many more are recorded.
With the presence of 600 media from 33 countries, the fair was a great success in terms of networking opportunities and knowledge of the latest trends in the construction industry. The next edition of Conexpo-Con/Agg & IFPE will be held from March 3 to 7, 2026 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Nevada, USA.
