DYNAPAC SprayPaver SD2500CS PROTAC: economical, resource-saving, sustainable, sometimes less is more
Dynapac is once again launching a spray paver on the market. The new machine, which was displayed at the 2022 bauma, has been developed in collaboration with Secmair – a sister company of Dynapac in the Fayat Group, as well as in collaboration with numerous customers.
The Path to Climate-Neutral Road Construction
Machine manufacturers and construction companies around the globe are currently searching for ways to achieve the goal of climate-neutral construction. The challenge here is to successively reduce emissions of CO2 and other harmful gases (summarized to CO2 equivalents: CO2e) around the world to zero over the coming decades. In the road construction sector, this transformation is inextricably linked to the improvement and further development of production and working processes. In the future, machines and construction materials will also be assessed based on the climate-harmful emissions arising from their production and use. However, the focus should not be on individual machines, but on the entire process leading up to the finished product – a road. Ultimately, the decisive factor is the emissions generated per kilometer of newly built or rehabilitated road – the “CO2e per work done”.
Making machines last another generation
The shift toward a circular economy approach is key to the transition towards net zero carbon emissions. At Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE), keeping construction machines – and their parts – in action for longer, to maximise their useful life, is a core part of its sustainability ambitions.

Luxembourg duty for KiTraffic Plus
Luxembourg has opted for Kistler’s KiTraffic Plus weigh-in-motion system as it implements new commercial vehicle enforcement to meet the European Union requirements.
The WIM installation is located on the A6 motorway about 2km from the border with Belgium. Several hundred meters of the road surface were renewed ahead of time so there would be no need to replace the sensors after a few years because of scheduled maintenance. The complete KiTraffic Plus system weighs trucks and delivery vans without interrupting motorway traffic, providing the basis for efficient weight enforcement.
