The 148-hp Terex TXC 225LC-2 heavy hydraulic excavator has been upgraded with a Tier III- compliant diesel engine that incorporates an electronically controlled common-rail injection system. This unit also has the electronic management system (e-EPOS) that communicates with the engine and the controller area network to assure that the engine and hydraulic systems share the information required to operate at maximum efficiency. The e-EPOS also gives operators access to advanced self-diagnostic technology for quick and precise problem resolution.
