The Liebherr L 550 wheel loader consumes 25% less fuel compared with conventional wheel loaders under the same conditions.

At Bauma China 2016, to be held in Shanghai from 22-24 November, Liebherr is exhibiting its new L 550 wheel loader as part of its expanding product range for the Chinese market. Due to the hydrostatic driveline, the L 550 is said to be very fuel efficient, consuming up to 25% less fuel compared with conventional wheel loaders under the same conditions.

The optimum weight distribution of the machine increases the productivity at work, because larger buckets can be used to handle more material with each loading cycle.

The Liebherr wheel loader L 550 is powered by a 147kW / 200hp diesel engine. Its exhaust emissions are below the limits in Stage IIIA / Tier 3. The optimum weight distribution combined with a wide range of attachments for different applications supports businesses to benefit from increased productivity during daily operation, especially by using larger buckets compared to other type of wheel loaders in the same class.

Liebherr manufactures wheel loaders for the Chinese market in Dalian, P. R. China, in close cooperation with the wheel loader competence centre in Bischofshofen, Austria.
