EXCON 15 was held at the Bangalore Exhibition center from the 25th to 29th November.

It is bi-yearly event showcasing the products and new releases of the construction equipment industry.

Link to the last events thread:

This year's event was on the same lines as the event two years ago. Even the various manufacturer stalls were more or less at the same location.

I felt the number of products displayed were lower than the last event and apart from few manufacturers , the display was the usual stuff albeit a newer model.
Nevertheless, eye candy for people like me.

Enjoy the pictures.

Pictures are in no particular order.

MAN Trucks stall had a Shaktiman on display as well. It was there around a week ago on the highway along with another MAN truck loaded on a trailer.

Most of the heavy duty cranes seem to be borrowed from the company that bought them and were displayed.

Few of the BobCats.

TATA Motors had the good old 1210SE model which is a 1613 4x4.

A hot looking BharatBenz 3143 8x4.

Also at the stall was the powertrain of a truck complete with the engine , gearbox, shafts and differentials.

A BharatBenz fire truck along with stalls of Volvo, VE and TATA and a good old HINDUSTAN front loader.

JCB as always was the crowd puller with their team that does the synchronized moves with their equipment's.

Also on display was few of BEML's products.

Couldn't help but notice the similarities between TATA's truck and this bulldozer.

Ashok Leyland was present with few of their trucks compared no presence in the last event

Were the tiles under the wheels of the Volvo FMX trucks removed or crushed under weight? Looks removed before parking.

It was missing. Probably to show a bit of its articulation.

Excellent photologue!!

Tata motors displaying 1613 4x4 is no surprise as it is still a big hit among the customers from tier 2 and tier 3 cities. Good to see Mahindra showcasing their Navistar range of dump trucks and concrete mixers.

Looks amazing!

It is heartening to see the commercial segment in India come of age and very world-class products on display, and importantly, even on roads.

There was a exhaust valve on the Volvo 480 FMX 10x8 which can divert exhaust from the stack to the dumper behind with the help of a lever.

Any idea what the exhaust will do when diverted?

Nice pictures tharian. The event was good and this "transformer" made from Bharat Benz truck parts was eye catching.

It looks like they have added the tiles later, tiles would have cracked and wouldn't just sink in...
