Reliability
Diesel engine
• Common Rail technology optimizes the
combustion process and reduces emissions.
• Further reduction of particle emissions due to
the diesel particle fi lter with oxidation catalytic 
converter. Active regeneration ensures effi cient, 
uninterrupted work.
• Proactive intervention of Liebherr Power
Effi ciency (LPE) in the engine management 
system increases effi ciency.
Cooling system
• The radiator is installed on the rear
section of the vehicle, between the 
diesel engine and the cabin. Cooling 
air is drawn in directly behind the 
cabin and blown out upwards at 
the rear. The fan speed is varied 
automatically by heat sensors that 
determine the amount of cooling 
needed.
• The reversible fan drive is
a standard feature.
All the materials used in the Liebherr wheel loaders have passed extensive tests to ensure 
that they meet Liebherr’s exacting standards even in the toughest conditions. The advanced 
concept and proven quality make Liebherr wheel loaders the benchmark of reliability.
Reliable Liebherr driveline
Fewer components
The Liebherr driveline includes a self-locking hydraulic 
brake, which means the additional wet brake discs are 
wear-free since there is no need for a reversing gear unit. 
There are fewer components needed, which minimizes the 
number of parts susceptible to wear.
Controlled cooling
The intelligent 
answer
The cooling fan is driven independently from the diesel 
engine and produces only the cooling air output which is 
actually required. Heat sensors ensure reliable control. If 
overheating should occur, the wheel loader automatically 
shifts down to fi rst travel speed range. The reduced power 
consumption protects the engine from overheating. At the 
same time, the fan speed is increased to maximum output, 
thus preventing the engine from overheating.
Components meet manufacturer’s quality 
standards
Everything from
a single source
Main components such as hydraulic cylinders and 
electronics are developed and manufactured by Liebherr 
to ensure the highest quality standards. Liebherr Wheel 
Loaders are carefully designed down to the smallest detail 
to provide customers with the perfect machine solution to 
match the application-specifi c demands while achieving 
maximum productivity and longevity.
Optimized engine
technology
As well as further developments towards greater 
environmental compatibility, the new generation of diesel 
engines have been optimized in a number of other respects. 
In addition to Common Rail technology a diesel particle 
fi lter signifi cantly reduces exhaust emissions. With active 
regeneration, in most operational circumstances this 
fi ltration process ensures effi cient, uninterrupted work.
