JCB India, a leader in earthmoving and construction equipment manufacturing, has launched its most fuel-efficient tracked excavator to date, the JCB NXT 215 LC Fuel Master. Introduced at JCB’s state-of-the-art Pune facility, this machine is designed to deliver substantial cost savings for customers, with a 14% reduction in fuel consumption compared to the previous model. This innovation promises to make a significant impact on both operational costs and sustainability efforts, especially as industries look for ways to reduce fossil fuel dependency.
The JCB NXT 215 LC Fuel Master features Intelliflow Hydraulics, a technology that not only optimizes fuel efficiency but also provides real-time fuel consumption data. Operators can access this information via the excavator’s onboard interface or through JCB’s LiveLink, a remote monitoring solution that enhances equipment management and fleet efficiency. Additionally, the machine’s auto engine long idle stop feature further reduces fuel waste by automatically shutting down the engine during extended idle periods, maximizing fuel economy in real-time operations.
With the 14% fuel efficiency improvement, customers are expected to save up to ₹2.90 lakh annually, a significant reduction in operational expenses that directly boosts profitability. This is especially relevant for contractors working on large-scale infrastructure projects where fuel costs often account for a substantial portion of operational overheads.
Deepak Shetty, CEO and Managing Director of JCB India, underscored the strategic importance of this innovation. “Our focus with the NXT 215 LC Fuel Master is to help our customers achieve better return on investment (ROI) while contributing to broader efforts aimed at reducing reliance on fossil fuels. This machine not only helps businesses reduce costs but also aligns with the government’s initiatives for environmental sustainability.”
Beyond fuel efficiency, the JCB NXT 215 LC Fuel Master is engineered for durability and performance in demanding work environments. Its 5% boost in productivity ensures faster task completion, making it ideal for high-intensity projects like mining, quarrying, and infrastructure development. The Power Boost function delivers extra force for heavy-duty tasks, such as rock breaking and other challenging applications that require enhanced machine strength.
Designed with the operator in mind, the excavator offers a quieter engine compartment, reducing noise levels during operation and improving comfort for long work hours. To further enhance safety and efficiency, LED lighting has been introduced to provide superior illumination in low-light conditions, ensuring that work can continue smoothly even after dark.
JCB India has manufactured over 45,000 tracked excavators, supporting critical infrastructure projects across the country. The NXT 215 LC Fuel Master adds to JCB’s legacy of delivering cutting-edge machines that contribute to nation-building efforts. From road construction to large-scale urban projects, JCB’s machines have been integral to shaping India’s growing infrastructure landscape.
As industries in India and abroad move towards more sustainable practices, the NXT 215 LC Fuel Master represents JCB’s commitment to providing innovative solutions that reduce environmental impact while maximizing efficiency. The introduction of advanced fuel-saving technologies is expected to play a crucial role in supporting India’s ambitions for cleaner and greener industrial growth.
