Bell Equipment will be giving visitors to Hillhead 2012 a glimpse of the future with the unveiling of their much-anticipated E-Series articulated dumptruck featuring a new-shape hood, more imposing styling and extensive technological improvements. Planned to go into production in 2013, Bell are keeping certain improvements a closely guarded secret, but say the E-Series promises higher payloads across the range as well as improved safety features and better durability.

The 30-tonne B30E on show at Hillhead will share the stand with a selection Bell's current D-Series articulated dumptrucks as well as four high-specification, high-productivity wheel loaders.

The company will also use this year's show to drive home the importance of fuel-efficiency, which Bell have championed since long before the current rise in fuel prices. Coupled with innovations such as their advanced Fleetm@tic telematics system, Bell say they have helped operators drive down production costs by as much as 15%.
