Bauma photo review part 1

Over the next couple of days, we will be publishing a series of pictorial overview of the world’s biggest equipment show, Bauma.
We start with the observations of one of our German based editorial team - Alexander Ochs – who has posted so many that we will cover them in two parts. Here is part one.
