Salcedo de la Vega and his team decided to buy the new VÖGELE SUPER 2100-3 tracked paver at bauma 2013 in Munich, Germany. The Project Manager from Conalvias Construcciones was most impressed by the power of the drive system, as well as the versatility and robustness of the machine. At altitudes of 4,000m, the air becomes thinner not only for humans, but also for machines. While the oxygen content at sea level is 21%, it amounts to just 12% at such high altitudes. The air pressure is also a good 40% lower than at sea level. Under such extreme working conditions, the use of a particularly powerful paver is decisive for maximizing
