Liebherr will showcase its automated hauler concept at Bauma in April
Liebherr’s concept for a new way of hauling material, the S1 Vision, will be displayed at this year’s Bauma exhibition, taking place from 7 to 13 April in Munich, Germany.
The S1 Vision is primarily just a single axle and two tyres. The truck is designed to be scalable, with a payload ranging from 220 kilograms up to 131 tonnes. Because of this payload versatility, the S1 Vision can be adapted for various applications, including earthmoving, farming and agriculture, construction and mining, Liebherr says.
So that the truck can operate effectively on a single axle, the S1 Vision features a self-levelling system.

Its zero-turn radius means the truck can easily turn on the spot and travel all directions, making it ideal for applications in tight spaces that require precise movements and flexibility, Liebherr adds.
The site dumper is powered by an electric drive and is equipped with advanced sensors so the truck can navigate independently. Furthermore, if multiple S1 Vision trucks are operating in the one location, they can connect and share real-time information.
Liebherr will be presenting at Bauma under the motto ‘Hands on the future’, where it will display more than 70 future-focused exhibits.
