At the 1992 Bauma fair, Liebherr presented a new model of wheeled loader, the L 522, which was the first machine of its kind with plastic panelling. It raised a few eyebrows at the time, the company recalls, but competitors all soon followed suit.

The drive concept also made the L 522 a pioneer. In 1992, the L 522 was fitted with two oil engines as a technical extension of the hydrostatic drive concept in order to be able to drive the heavier units more quickly. This allowed the speed range to be increased without the need for a gearbox. The result: the L 522 was the first wheeled loader that accelerated without interrupting the tractive force.
