Zeppelin Construction Machinery from Garching is preparing cost-cutting measures in response to sharply rising fuel prices. The Caterpillar general importer for Germany sees itself forced to reduce costs due to the escalating Iran conflict and the associated energy crisis. The announcement is considered an indicator of the current burden on the construction industry, which must calculate high diesel consumption for construction machinery with operating hours of 1,500 to 2,000 hours annually. The company has not yet announced concrete measures or savings targets.
