XCMG releases new machinery

XCMG Machinery recently released a line-up of new electric products in the Brazilian market, including five trucks, two loaders and one excavator, as XCMG Brazil inaugurates operations of its electric equipment division to push forward sustainable industry development. 

The E7-49T electric truck (shown below) adopts an electric motor with output of 482hp and torque of 2,000Nm, as well as 4-speed automated transmission that saves energy on starts. While the E7-29Ris a semi-heavy 8x4 model with a rigid chassis to support transportation of various cargo types, the electric truck can also adapt to urban environments as it has the advantage of lower noise design. The battery has a maximum charging capacity of 282kWh and range of 150km. 

XCMG introduced three off-road trucks that are more suitable for mining operations. The XGE5900E has an electric motor yielding 680hp and 1,000Nm of torque, the intermediate model XEGE95 (816hp and 1,400Nm of torque) that can carry net load of 60 tons and reaching maximum speed of 43km/h, and the XDR80TE, the largest electric off-road model from XCMG that has an engine with 749hp and 4,9000Nm of torque, as well as 525kWh battery charging capacity, 4-speed gearbox and track on the two rear axels. 

Diamond mine
While in a diamond mine site in Angola, more than 10 units of XCMG large-tonnage LW700KN and LW800KN loaders (pictured bottom) have been working an average of 21 hours a day since 2021 to transport raw materials in the harsh environment with high temperature, humidity, and dust. The excellent performance as well as XCMG’s reliable services have won recognition from the customer and an additional batch order of loaders and wheel dozers, which are expected to deliver soon. The high-performance 9-ton loaders will equip with the newly upgraded load-sensitive, fully variable hydraulic system, re-optimised powertrain, and multi-functional dual-brake combination brake pedal. 

A fleet of XE500DK excavators (pictured top) from XCMG have been working in mines in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with an average operation time of 18 hours per day. The XE500DK has been appraised as a pioneering mining equipment and “steel beast” for its robust power and high performance. It’s equipped with the Cummins engine which has low fuel consumption and powerful output, which is coupled with high-duty main pump and new main valve that has low pressure loss, stable performance, and precise control. The main structure components adopt anti-fatigue design to enable the excavator to operate nonstop with extended service life. XCMG has also deployed technical service teams to complete routine inspections across the mines. 

XCMG is also expanding operations in countries of Asia, further supporting its international allies in speeding up their infrastructure constructions. In central Vietnam, eight XR280E rotary drilling rigs from XCMG are now working in a new plant construction project of a steelmaking factory. The project site is located in a mountainous region with complex stratigraphic environment, the XR280E has significantly improved construction efficiency as it achieves drilling depth of 10 meters per hour, while guaranteeing stability and drilling success. XCMG’s on-site supporting staff are also providing all-day services as well as operation trainings.
