Championing Innovative & Reliable Compaction with Dynapac & Poclain in China
China’s road construction industry is evolving from conventional operations toward greater precision and intelligence. Customers are also looking beyond initial purchase price and basic functionality. Equipment performance, energy efficiency, delivery lead times, ease of maintenance and service responsiveness are becoming increasingly important factors in assessing total lifecycle value.
Having worked with Dynapac for more than ten years, Shaobo Mi, General Manager of Dynapac China, has witnessed this transformation firsthand. In his view, Dynapac’s brand DNA can be summarized in three words: reliability, efficiency and innovation. Its core value lies in helping customers reduce overall construction costs through advanced technologies and dependable equipment. An excellent roller should deliver high compaction efficiency, low failure rates and a comfortable operating experience.
Global Standards, Local Responsiveness
With over more than two decades in the Chinese market, Dynapac has continuously introduced advanced products and technologies. Today, Dynapac China has grown into a manufacturing center integrating R&D with complete machine development capabilities, as well as global strategic sourcing and equipment assembly.
The Tianjin plant operates flexible production lines capable of manufacturing multiple models of compaction and paving equipment, fulfilling orders from both domestic and international customers. The plant follows Dynapac’s global quality management system and extends quality control upstream into the supply chain. Every machine undergoes rigorous performance testing before leaving the factory to ensure consistent product quality.
To meet demanding Chinese operating conditions, including high temperatures, heavy dust and extended periods of continuous operation, Dynapac China’s R&D team continues to optimize cooling systems, structural durability and human-machine interaction. This approach allows Dynapac to respond closely to customer needs while maintaining global standards.
Poclain Powertrain Solutions Enable High-Quality Compaction
Hydrostatic transmissions are key in ensuring compaction quality and machine performance. They contribute to smooth low-speed operation, powerful traction, precise steering, reliable braking and energy efficiency. With decades of experience in compaction applications, Poclain offers proven hydrostatic transmission solutions covering a complete range of rollers, from 1-ton light machines to 14-ton heavy-duty models.
Poclain motors feature compact dimensions, high torque and high power density, making them easy to integrate directly into the drum or machine frame. Direct-drive technology reduces mechanical transmission backlash, helping improve low-speed stability, precision and gradeability. It provides stable control during starting, climbing and edge compaction, contributing to uniform, high-quality road compaction. The motors’ sturdy construction also enables to withstand the compaction vibration.
Poclain PM20 pumps and MSE02, MK04, MK05 and MS18 motors are currently used on several Dynapac machines, including the CC900G, CC1200, CC1300 VI, CC1400 VI and CC6200 VI, as well as Dynapac’s sixth-generation combi rollers.
Exploring the Future of Compaction Equipment Together
Shaobo Mi believes that autonomous and intelligent technologies have the potential to further transform compaction equipment and road construction practices. Looking ahead, intelligence, low-emission development and service-oriented solutions are likely to steer the industry. As machines require higher levels of system integration and precision, hydraulic systems will continue to evolve accordingly.
Mutual support, continuous adaptation, interdependence and joint development form the foundation of the long-standing cooperation between Dynapac and Poclain. The two companies will continue to deepen their collaboration in new product development, customized powertrain solutions, application support and aftersales technical training, with the shared goal of developing more efficient, reliable and intelligent compaction equipment.
Responding quickly to customer needs and continuously creating value for customers is not only Dynapac’s commitment to the market, but also the driving force behind its ongoing efforts in localization, technological innovation and service improvement. Looking ahead, Dynapac and Poclain will continue working together, combining reliable products, professional expertise and close collaboration to create lasting value for road construction in China and around the world.
