Introducing the new A-series – the HX220AL is one of the first Stage V ready Hyundai machines. Packed with new technologies, excellent fuel efficiency, advanced machine controls and augmented uptime support, the new 22-tonne crawler excavator is what Hyundai Construction Equipment Europe (HCEE) describes as ‘a game changer’.
Advanced technologies for the modern jobsite
The HX220AL introduces a new era. Coming
with a new engine platform (Stage V), a new hydraulic flow regulation, improved
operator controls with 2D/3D machine guidance, new safety features, and
improved uptime and productivity, this 22-tonne crawler excavator will leave
its mark on the construction equipment industry.
The HX220AL will incorporate some of Hyundai’s new technologies, which
include:
EPFC or Electric Positive Flow Control.
EPFC results in the improvement of fuel efficiency and controllability by a
flow reduction technique for excavator operations.
Auto Safety Lock prevents unintended
operation/start of the excavator which improves safety.
Eco guidance indicates ‘inefficient operation’
status to prevent fuel consumption by inadequate working habits which is displayed
on the machine cluster.
MG/MC or Machine Guidance / Machine
Control. Indicates the work status and automatically controls the attachment to
assist the driver. The MG displays the position of the bucket tip. The MC will
automatically control the grading with the bucket tip or face and will have an
automatic stop control: up, down, forward and cabin protection.

Reducing Downtime
All A-series excavators will
incorporate several new service features that have been developed and tested
with the aim of improving machine uptime.
ECD (Engine Connected Diagnostics) will support
the After Sales technicians and dealers with a diagnostics report (via e-mail,
mobile, app or HiMATE, HCE’s own telematic system) on the engine performance.
This results in an improved engine fault code monitoring and will ensure that the
After Sales technicians arrive on site with the necessary tools to fix the error
in one visit.
MCD (Machine Connected Diagnostics) enables the
user to gather and analyse various data on the machine’s performance which has
been indicated in HiMATE. This results in improved uptime.
FOTA (Firmware Over The Air) allows for remote software updates
for MCU (Machine Control Unit) and RMCU(Remote
Machine Control Unit), whenever
there is a software update available in HiMATE. When starting the machine, the
operator gets a notification stating he needs to install the updates for MCU
and RMCU. When the operator has finished the installation the dealer
administrator receives a confirmation.
HCE-DT is the Hyundai Construction
Equipment offline equipment Diagnostics which provides troubleshooting
information using HiMATE user authentication.
Monthly report (generated by HiMATE) – The report
generated by HiMATE allows improved fleet management by sending monthly e-mail
reports including a summary of the operation and the fuel consumption analysis.
All-in-one exhaust after treatment with the Cummins
engine: best-in-class solution
The A-series stage V exhaust
after-treatment is based on an all-in-one solution, which combines a unique
exhaust muffler - integrating the diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), the DEF
injector (SCR) and a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF).
Importantly, the exhaust gas
recirculation (EGR) could be removed, by further improving the other
technologies. This results in a simple but powerful and environmentally-friendly
solution - with increased reliability and easy maintenance – and most of all
reduced fuel consumption and a lower operating cost.
Commenting on the HX220AL
Peter Sebold, Product Specialist at HCEE,
comments: “The HX220AL kicks
off the introduction of our new A-series – a range of machines with intelligent
features, that will cater for the demand of our modern society for smart
machines, clean machines, but still robust and productive powerhouses. And that
is Hyundai’s strength - solid and unbreakable products.”
