Swedish manufacturer Dynapac has delivered two asphalt pavers to Dallmann GmbH in Bramsche. The Lower Saxony construction company will now use the SD2500CS and F1250CS models. The order signals continued demand for modern road construction machinery in Germany.
The two pavers cover different areas of application. The SD2500CS is designed for medium to large projects, the F1250CS as a more compact model for tight construction sites. Both comply with the current EU Stage V standard and thus meet the exhaust regulations for construction machinery over 56 kW engine power that have been in effect since 2020.
For construction companies like Dallmann, investing in Stage V-compliant technology is now standard. Public clients increasingly demand the use of low-emission machinery. Those still operating older asphalt pavers in their fleet risk disadvantages in tenders. Retrofitting older models with SCR catalysts and diesel particulate filters is often technically possible, but rarely pays off after a certain machine operating time.
The German market for road construction machinery remains robust despite economic headwinds. According to industry figures, around 800 new asphalt pavers were registered nationwide in 2024 – roughly 5% more than the previous year. The main drivers are replacement purchases by municipal authorities and mid-sized construction companies. Average service life ranges from 8 to 12 years, depending on operating hours and usage profile.
Dynapac is part of the Swedish Fayat Group and positions itself in the mid-price segment between premium manufacturers like Vögele and Asian providers. The brand is mainly widespread in Germany among municipal authorities and medium-sized companies. Larger asphalt contractors more often use BOMAG or Vögele, which offer more model variants for paving widths over 10 meters.
Three factors are technically relevant in modern asphalt pavers today: paving width and flexibility of the screed, emission values according to Stage V, and integration of 3D machine control. The latter enables centimeter-accurate work according to digital terrain models – standard practice on highway projects, but far from universal on all municipal construction sites.
The delivery to Dallmann is part of a series of new acquisitions in the road construction segment. Other manufacturers such as HAMM in compaction rollers or Wirtgen in cold milling also report stable demand despite uncertainty over public infrastructure budgets. The condition of federal highways remains decisive: over 4,000 bridges are considered in need of rehabilitation, along with thousands of kilometers of damaged motorways and federal roads.
