Building a more sustainable future with the VÖGELE Dash 5 Pavers

With the new ‘Dash 5’ generation of pavers, VÖGELE is pushing sustainable road construction forward through smart, environmentally conscious machine technology. The focus is clear: reduce fossil fuel consumption, lower CO₂ emissions, and minimise noise, without sacrificing performance. At the heart of these advancements is the enhanced EcoPlus package

Smarter Energy Use, Lower Emissions

The upgraded VÖGELE EcoPlus system automatically adjusts machine output to match the exact demands of each paving situation. This intelligent control significantly reduces fuel consumption, CO₂ emissions, and noise levels, ensuring both environmental benefits and cost savings.

Efficiency Where It Matters Most

• Reduced consumption when idle

A redesigned splitter gearbox automatically disengages hydraulic pumps used for drive, transfer, and compaction when the paver is stationary. This eliminates unnecessary load and cuts fuel waste during downtime.

• Faster warm-up, quicker productivity

An optimised bypass in the hydraulic oil temperature circuit brings the oil up to its ideal operating temperature more quickly. Operators can begin work sooner, improving both efficiency and productivity.

• Adaptive tamper drive

A variable-displacement pump delivers exactly the amount of oil needed for the required tamper speed. This ensures precise energy use with no excess consumption.

• Speed-optimised cooling fan

A variable-speed cooling fan, supported by separate temperature monitoring for all cooling media, fine-tunes airflow with greater accuracy. Additional noise-damping measures further reduce sound emissions.

Together, these improvements enable fuel and CO₂ reductions of up to 25%.

• Smarter screed heating with Eco Mode

To achieve a consistently clean surface structure, the screed is heated evenly across its entire width. New, optimised heating rods ensure faster and more uniform heat distribution, preventing material adhesion.

Eco Mode further enhances efficiency by supporting economical screed heating, while Boost Mode rapidly brings the compacting systems to operating temperature. The result: time savings, improved performance, and greater overall cost efficiency.
