[Asia Economy Reporter Dongwoo Lee] Hyundai Construction Equipment announced on the 11th that it will exhibit 22 next-generation equipment models, including new excavators and wheel loaders, at 'CONEXPO 2020' held in Las Vegas, USA, from the 10th to the 14th of this month.

Hyundai Construction Equipment prepared a 2,600㎡ (approximately 800 pyeong) exhibition space and unveiled numerous new technologies to be applied to next-generation construction equipment.

At the exhibition, they remotely operated a wheel loader located 3,400 km away in the state of Georgia, USA, and demonstrated an excavator equipped with machine control technology based on autonomous operation and tilt-rotating technology that maximizes the rotational force of the bucket.

They also introduced 'AI Vision' technology that automatically identifies people entering the work radius and issues warnings or stops the equipment depending on the proximity. By integrating Amazon's artificial intelligence platform 'Alexa,' operators can control the equipment by voice as well as listen to music and news.

Myeongsik Kang, Head of Hyundai Construction Equipment's North America branch, said, “The CONEXPO exhibition is a place where you can see the technology and market trends of construction equipment not only in North America but worldwide at a glance,” adding, “We will actively showcase Hyundai Construction Equipment's advanced technology to the global market, communicate with customers and the industry, and work to expand the market.”

CONEXPO, held every three years, is considered one of the world's top three construction equipment exhibitions alongside Germany's Bauma and France's Intermat. This year, over 2,500 companies from around the world are participating.
