- Construction equipment spends a significant lifetime amount (20% to 70%) idle. To maximise the fuel-emissions savings, this Innovate-UK project (102250, University of Warwick, JCB and Pektron) developed a novel prediction approach for rapid decisions of engine idle/stop/start control. Deployment has shown considerable improvements on machine efficiency (10% to 60%), verified on JCB’s 11-ton excavator (this work’s Part B). This led to the new generation of JCB’s Stage-V engines across equipment lines (www.jcb.com), underpinning the sale of circa 100,000 extra vehicles by 2021 (Lee Harper, lee.harper@jcb.com), also led to invitations as ICMT2018’s keynote speech and annual invited talks in Korea.
