Bauer Maschinen Group at Bauma in Shanghai: The latest specialist Foundation Engineering Technology for the Asian Market
Although Bauma China only reported around 80,000 visitors this November, a drop of more than 60% compared with the event two years ago, the organizers were still satisfied. Ultimately, the exhibition also sent an important signal for the construction equipment industry as the largest event of its kind since the outbreak of the pandemic. “There were fewer guests at this Bauma than in previous years, particularly due to the lack of international visitors, which was of course due to the current situation. Nevertheless, this meant that we were able to take more time for individual customers and potential clients, and engage in highly valuable conversations,” remarks Marc Scheib, Executive Director of Bauer Equipment Shanghai.

Strabag Consortium wins Infrastructure Contract in Hungary
- Gap closure of M6 motorway to Croatian border
- 20 km long section with 16 bridges
- Construction schedule: 36 months
The Hungarian subsidiary of European-based construction group Strabag has been awarded a new infrastructure contract in Hungary with a volume of € 245.58 million (HUF 90.45 billion). The S-D 2020 M6 consortium, consisting of Strabag Építő Kft. (50.12 %) and Duna Aszfalt Zrt., will complete the 20 km gap of the M6 motorway between Bóly and Ivándárda on the Croatian border. The project is scheduled to be completed within 36 months.
“Closing this gap creates a new border crossing with Croatia as part of the Hungarian motorway network. This will significantly reduce the travel time for international passenger and road freight traffic,” says Thomas Birtel, CEO of Strabag SE.
High-level corridor to the Adriatic Sea
The project entails the construction of three junctions, 16 bridges and a service area as well as a turnkey motorway maintenance facility with office buildings, weighbridge and filling station. As part of Pan-European transport corridor Vc, the M6 motorway represents a high-level connection to the Adriatic Sea from Budapest via Osijek and Sarajevo to the Croatian port city of Ploče. Strabag had already completed a section of the M6 between Szekszárd and Bóly and of the M60 between Bóly and Pécs in 2010.
