and sustainability. In addition to being lower in Emissions,these machines are also
more fuel-efficient, thus reducing the total cost of ownership of the
equipment”
The
machines come with JCB’s advanced Telematics technology called JCB Livelink.
This revolutionary technology gives real-time updates about the machine’s
performance, its operating and health parameters in addition to its location. They
can be geo-fenced, time-fenced and can be located through GPS. To date,
approximately 1,80,000 LiveLink enabled JCB machines have been sold. This has
changed the way customers manage their fleet.

requiring round-the-clock operations, we realised the importance of our
customers being able to remain in touch with their fleet at all times. JCB
Livelink has made that possible. Our investments in integrating digital
technology in our products have made the experience of owning a JCB product
truly world-class, and this will only increase in the times to come”
