Vögele America Inc. is introducing its next-generation asphalt pavers - the Vision Series - to North America. The 10-foot Vision Series includes the tracked Vision 5200-2 and the wheeled Vision 5203-2.

Unparalleled visibility
Operators will benefit from outstanding forward visibility, with unparalleled all-around visibility without turning. The slope of the machine and hood have been designed so the operator can see the sides, the hopper, and the conveyors in the back, without having to move around.

The operator's stations swing out from both edges of the machine, for visibility to the sides, behind and into the hopper. In addition to the operator's stations swinging out, the control console slides from one side of the paver platform to the other, and also swivels and tilts.

With its Tier III engines, the Vision Series suppresses noise and redirects exhaust and heat away from operator and crew, with raked, streamlined exhaust pipes that reinforce the impression of forward movement.

On the wheeled Vision 5203-2, three drive versions are available, one with rear wheel drive, one with optional two-wheel front-wheel assist, and a new optional version, with six-wheel drive.
