Hyundai invests significant time and resources in product testing and comparative analysis. Real world competitive tests have proven the new 9 series to be one of the most fuel efficient machines on the market today. New engine efficiencies, improved electronic control, and new hydraulic technologies are incorporated in the 9 series to make it one of the most efficient machines on the market.
Hyundai’s 9 series may be extremely efficient, however, power and performance are still top priorities. Hyundai’s R235LCR-9 proved to be an outstanding performer as compared to leading competitors. New tier III Cummins engine technology in the R235LCR-9 provide state-of-the-art electronic control with maximum horsepower and optimal torque. Harnessing the newly improved engine and hydraulic technologies, the new CAPO (Computer Aided Power Optimization) system offers a user friendly interface and customizable machine operation through power mode, work mode and user mode selection. Insuring machine performance and reduced maintenance issues, all Hyundai’s include the HI-mate remote management system which uses GPS – Satellite technology and a user friendly, internet-based system to access critical machine information from anywhere in the world. HI-Mate service is provided free of charge for the first 3 years of ownership.
