CATERING TO NEED
Asia-Pacific seems to be one of the most prominent region
in the motor graders market as countries, such as China,
India and Japan, are home to some of the prominent man-
ufacturers operating in the global motor graders market.

which is expected to expand overall construction vehicle

production. Amarnath Ramachandran, director, Arx Mining

hybrid and then full electric. The main progress will be on the

artificial intelligence side where the grader will be fully auton-

omous in line with dumpers which are already autonomous.”

Arx is coming up with a full range of high spec graders 32t,

18t, 15t, 13.5t and 10t. These are for advanced markets and
