Industry professionals will see the W 210 XP for the first time – the latest model in the large cold milling machine series.

One of the main themes at Intermat from Doosan Construction Equipment will be a celebration of the company’s 40 years in excavator manufacture and the sale of the 400,000th machine since the company started in the construction equipment market. These milestones will be marked by a series of special events at Intermat, which will take place alongside a presentation of new developments in the Doosan excavator range. One excavator is the 52-tonne DX530LC-5 crawler excavator, which will incorporate Doosan's innovative D-ECOPOWER technology for the first time.
