Volvo
Improving market conditions (in
all regions except South America) helped Volvo Construction
Equipment (Volvo CE) report strong
growth in sales, profitability, order
intake and deliveries in the first
quarter of 2017.
During the first three months of
the year, Volvo CE net sales jumped
by 30 percent to SEK 16,163 M (SEK
12,452 M in Q1 2016). Operating income was also positively impacted,
rising to SEK 1,617 M, up significantly compared to SEK 341 M in
the first quarter of 2016. Operating
margin also saw good improvement, at 10 percent, compared to
2.7 percent in the same period the
year before.

John Deere
John Deere now offers a
96-month (8-year) or 20,000-hour
(whichever comes first) power
electronic components warranty on
the 944K hybrid wheel loader. The
warranty is retroactive to existing
machines in the field and provided
on new 944K loaders through
October 31, 2018.
"We continue to build confidence in our hybrid technology
and the high-design life of machine
components," said Jason Daly, di-

rector, customer and product support, John Deere Construction &
Forestry. "As our hybrid experience
continues to grow, we feel strongly
that this 20,000-hour warranty
allows a customer the opportunity to go through a 15,000-hour
rebuild/re-life without the expense
of worrying about power electronic
components."
The warranty includes non-prorated assurance on wheel motors,
generators, power inverters and
brake retarders. Certain customer
conditions must be met to maintain
warranty coverage.

Agru America
Agru America's newest manufacturing center in Charleston, SC,
is producing large-diameter (up
to 98.4 inches OD and 1,968 feet
long) AGRULINE pipes designed
for high-volume flow applications
including gas, potable water and
wastewater.
Made from tough, durable,
extruded polyethylene (PE100,
PE100-RC or PE4710 resins), which
is highly resistant to corrosion,
wear and tear, and UV radiation, the
proven maintenance-free, long-life
AGRULINE design saves operating
costs compared to other solutions
made from metallics or concrete.
The ductility of PE withstands water
hammers and pressure surges,
where other materials would crack
or burst.
The most important part of
a piping system is the internal
surface, which is responsible for a
smooth hydraulic flow. AGRULINE
provides the advantages of PE,
which means that internal biogrowth and incrustations are virtually non-existent, offering the best
long-term hydraulic properties.
These properties, together with
the system's fast and efficient installation, make AGRULINE large-diameter pipes the perfect solution
for both on- and offshore projects.
They are available in a wide range
of SDRs in accordance with recognized ISO or ASTM International
pressure rating procedures.
