Abstract: The disclosure relates to a road making machine in the form of a road finishing machine or a charger vehicle for conveying laying material to a road finishing machine. The road making machine is self-propelled and comprises a travel drive, a material bunker, a driver stand, and a photovoltaic system. The photovoltaic system includes at least one photovoltaic module for generating electric current, a power storage system, and a charge controller.

Abstract: A channel plate arrangement for a road finishing machine comprises an extension means including a first channel plate which is movably mounted in a horizontal direction with respect to the channel plate arrangement to variably adjust an effective width of the channel plate arrangement, and a second channel plate connected to the first channel plate. The second channel plate is arranged at the first channel plate in a pivoting manner to variably adjust the effective width of the channel plate arrangement.

Abstract: Method for laying down a pavement consisting of paving material with a road paver screed in which a compaction unit pre-compacts the paving material at cyclical work cycles with a selectable stroke and at a selectable frequency while the pavement is laid down at a selectable paving speed and at least the stroke is automatically adjustable in response to paving parameters.

Abstract: In a method for laying down a pavement consisting of paving material with a screed of a road paver, in which a compaction unit, particularly a tamper, pre-compacts the paving material at cyclical work cycles with selectable stroke and selectable frequency while the pavement having a selectable pavement thickness) is in the process of being laid down at a selectable paving speed, at least the stroke is automatically adjustable in response to paving parameters, such as at least the paving speed and/or the pavement thickness, along a characteristic curve or in a characteristic map. In the screed the compaction unit comprises an adjusting mechanism which is operable during the ongoing paving work for adjusting the stroke of the compaction unit.

Abstract: The invention relates to a screed arrangement for a road finisher with a basic screed and two extending screeds arranged in front of the basic screed in the laying direction of travel of the road finisher and movable transversely to the laying direction of travel relative to the basic screed. A deflection member is fitted to the basic screed and/or to at least one of the extending screeds and is movable relative to it.
