R 984 C

Automatic Idle Control

Electronic idle control of the
engine results in:

• Less fuel consumption

• Less load on the engine

• Reduced emissions

• More comfort to the operator

(reduced noise pollution)

Sustainable Manufacturing Process

With an ever-present green focus, Liebherr contributes
to the sustainable development:

• Systematic risk analysis for new materials qualifi cation

• Promoted recovery waste management

• Controlled non-recyclable waste elimination

• Eco-friendly material selection (95% of material used

on machine is recyclable)

Environment

Liebherr considers the preservation of the environment as a major challenge
for the present and future. Sustainability underpins Liebherr’s machines; from
raw materials selection to manufacturing process employed. Liebherr provides
solutions that allow customers to balance high performance with environmental
consciousness.

Minimized Impact on Life

Low Fuel Consumption

Constant power regulation of the hydraulic system
and engine output optimizes machine fuel effi ciency,
depending on the application. The automatic idling
system reduces the engine speed when the machine
is at rest. When less power is required, ‘‘Eco-
Mode’’ can be selected via the machine dashboard
to reduce engine load, improve fuel effi ciency and
reduce carbon emissions.

Controlled Emission
Rejections

Powered by the Cummins QSK 19 diesel engine
EPA Tier 2 or 3, the R 984 C offers fuel-effi cient
operations meeting the latest emission standards.

Sustainable Design and Manufacturing Process

Extended Components
and Fluids Lifetime

Liebherr is constantly working on ways to extend
component life. Through the Exchange Components
program, superior lubrication systems, and the
reinforcement of parts under stress, Liebherr can
reduce frequency of part replacement. The result
minimizes environmental impact and lowers the
overall cost of ownership.

Product Life-Cycle
Management

Subject to the stringent European Program for
the regulation of the use of chemical substances
in the manufacturing process REACH*, Liebherr
undertakes a global evaluation to minimize the
impacts of hazardous materials.

*REACH is the European Community Regulation on chemicals and their safe use (EC1907/2006).
It deals with the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemical Substances.
