Meet Kristen Petillon, a Fleet Equipment Manager on the Senegal River delta site. "The site is situated in the north of Senegal and we are managing the construction and management of more than 90km of canals." These canals will enable Senegal to produce all of its own rice. Razel-Bec invested in ten Hitachi excavators, including special application machines – such as long-reach and amphibious excavators – for working on soft ground. These machines help to reduce fuel consumption and – equally as important – have high availability, the platform for a successful partnership between Hitachi and Razel.
