The Deepway is now fitted with SL fronts and is out towing on HPMV permits. The trial below with Foodstuffs NI using their Fairfax electric quad trailer. One axle powers the refrigeration unit for a fully zero emissions solution.
There are now 10,000 Deepways running and approaching 400 million km with customers.
Dual gun charging is now quite routine for us, seen here achieving 320kW input in Turangi. That adds 200km loaded range in an hour.
In NZ terms this Windrose run in the Andes is the equivalent of climbing from sea level to the Aoraki Mt Cook summit and back down on each charge.
Arthur’s Pass or whatever your favourite hill is will be easy after this.
The XCMG hybrid wheel loaders are now cheaper to buy than the diesel equivalent.
The sweet spot is the 28t XC988HEV at $488,000 + GST ex Penrose.
Typical hourly energy costs for diesel, hybrid and EV:
XC988 diesel 23l/h or $36.80 at $1.60 per litre
XC988HEV hybrid 14.5l/h or $23.20 at $1.60 per litre
XC988EV 60kWh/h or $9.60 at $0.16 per kWh
XCMG have launched their first wheel loader without hydraulics. The bucket functions and steering are all carried out by electric actuators for increased efficiency and near zero maintenance.
No pricing yet but the actuators look a bit expensive.
We have another XC968EV on order for the waste industry in NZ. The three motor, no transmission design, makes for the best EV loader you can buy.

XCMG sold 3149 heavy BEV trucks in October for 18% market share in China. Our trusty E700 remains the number one selling heavy electric truck in the world.
The price of solar is now way lower than other energy in New Zealand. This opens up many new avenues for EV truck and machinery use.
