15 Dec 2025 CW Team

Liebherr’s PR 716 crawler dozers played a crucial role in the preparation and upkeep of the MXGP of Latvia 2025 track, delivering reliable performance under wet and demanding conditions. With operating weights between 13,300 kg and 15,800 kg and a 97 kW (132 hp) engine, the machines were well suited to reshaping and maintaining the circuit throughout the event.

The crawler dozers were instrumental in smoothing the track surface and managing moisture-related challenges, ensuring optimal riding conditions. Advanced features such as precise blade control and efficient fuel consumption helped maintain consistency and performance across the race weekend, underlining Liebherr’s capability in supporting high-intensity motorsport infrastructure.

Alfis, Liebherr’s official dealer in the Baltic States, played a key supporting role as a main sponsor of the event. The company provided on-site machinery support and services, contributing directly to the smooth execution of track operations. Alfis also hosted invited guests at its hospitality tent, offering VIP access, parking passes and branded merchandise, reinforcing Liebherr’s engagement with partners and spectators alike.

The MXGP of Latvia once again highlighted the importance of dependable equipment and strong partnerships in delivering world-class motorsport events. Through the deployment of the PR 716 crawler dozers and close collaboration with Alfis, Liebherr reaffirmed its position as a trusted partner for motorsport infrastructure under challenging conditions.
