Lately, XCMG Machinery, the world's top three construction equipment manufacturer, has delivered an extensive number of products worldwide, with the development of alternative energy and the increasing value of brands. The company continues to propel and utilize the power transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energies, such as electric, hydrogen, and solar, in its diverse range of construction equipment products.

The pure electric loaders, XC968-EV, delivered to Turkey in batches showed their local service capability and environmental protection strength. This batch of products was customized with 3.5 cubic meters of enlarged bucket and a 350kW·h super-capacity battery according to the users’ needs, with stronger power, higher efficiency, zero emission, and no pollution. The working hours and efficiency have been greatly improved to maximize customer value. In the future, XCMG will definitely contribute to Turkey’s infrastructure construction and green development.

With the support of XCMG's unique three-motor technology, the walking system and hydraulic system adopted motor control, not only achieving pure electricity and zero emissions, but also saving maintenance costs on the air filter, gearbox, and diesel filter. Also, its quick response and acceleration brought high efficiency. Thanks to continuous technological breakthroughs, the main marketing model has been upgraded to the XC968-EV from XC958-EV, which is also the world's first gearbox-less pure electric loader that has been exported to Brazil, replacing "diesel fuel" with "electricity". 

XCMG deployed a batch of hydrogen-powered construction machines as another alternative energy adoption and practice case. The world’s first and 6-tonnage hydrogen-powered electric loader (XC968-FCEV), was developed by XCMG on the basis of the third generation pure electric loader, has been put into use in the coal mines in Shanxi, China, to improve the environmentally friendly practice of green mining. 

XC968-FCEV was developed on the basis of XCMG’s third-generation pure electric loader technology and adopted the most advanced hydrogen fuel stack and high-rate battery in the industry, which were suitable for loading, unloading, and transshipment of bulk materials such as mines, coal mines, and steel, with real zero emission and pollution. The whole machine uses high-power hydrogen fuel stacks and high-rate batteries to meet the high load performance requirements. A hydrogen storage system with a capacity of over 1000 liters can achieve an operating range of up to 10 hours under normal conditions. 

XCMG also developed combustion-efficient models powered by natural gas. In November 2010, the world's first 5-ton LNG natural gas loader was delivered and put into service in Inner Mongolia. XCMG’s LNG loader is equipped with a dedicated LNG engine, which has high combustion efficiency without polluting. LNG storage uses specialized gas cylinders from well-known manufacturers in the industry to effectively prevent the safety hazards of overfilling. With COOL turbocharging technology, it has fast response, faster turbocharging, and a stable gas supply so as to ensure long-lasting and strong power output, significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions, and save fuel costs. The main models on sale are the LW500KV-LNG and LW600KV-LNG.
