摘要：	Jeremy Harsin, Cummins global construction market director; Henrik Amann, Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) head of driveline and electromobility; and Dietmar Grimm, Trimble vice president of corporate strategy and sustainability solutions, agreed with Round table chair Nadira Tudor's outlining of the classic definition of sustainability as 'fulfilling the needs of current generations without compromising the needs of future generations'. They also endorsed the need for collaboration between global construction and quarrying original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to give customers the best chance to fulfil their long-term sustainability goals. "It's about how you get there. You have to somehow protect that future but also account for current needs. There's a [financial] cost to be green and technology limitations that exist today. That has to be balanced as we think things through," said Harsin, adding: "There are things we can do today from a practical perspective that are pretty easy. A lot of equipment is in the field for 10, 20, maybe 30 years, and the machines that have been released in the last few years are a lot more efficient and more environmentally friendly. There are other things like HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) and other alternative fuels that are coming around that are drop-ins and could be done easily today where they're available.
