Ammann has announced the new Rammax 1575 CI trench roller will be manufactured at Langenthal in Switzerland
The previous model, the 1575C, was launched at bauma Munich earlier this year.
Since then, the construction equipment manufacturer has set out safety measures, which will apply to the Rammax 1575 CI.
Furthermore, compliance with the new standards will ensure that safety requirements have been met, Amman said.
The engine offers low fuel consumption, which means reduced emissions, the company added.
The new articulated trench roller features a water-cooled diesel engine from Yanmar, which is expected to improve reliability and reduce noise.
