The project will cover 67 hectares and be used for electric trucks as well as manufacturing XCMG’s own components such as batteries, electric motor control systems etc.
As well as being the largest on highway electric truck in New Zealand, Eastland’s E700 watercart probably has the best graphics. Introducing Kanishka Gunawardhana our new senior EV technician. Kanishka has many years experience as an auto electrician, recently working on PHEVs in Auckland.

Another shipment of E300 cargo trucks has arrived in our workshop.
XCMG is trialing a gantry style battery swapping system on a metro tipper fleet near Xuzhou. This will be much cheaper than the fully robotic system.

Another tracked scissor ready for delivery, this the first of several units for Hireways.
The fully electric port equipment was also displayed at Bauma.

Plenty of smaller cranes at the factory if you need one.
The fully electric E700 8×4 watercart has arrived. Now in testing in Auckland, it will be delivered to Gisborne in early December. We think this is now New Zealand’s largest on highway electric truck

XCMG had it’s usual large presence at this weeks Bauma Shanghai. However the exhibition overall was smaller than usual with attendance well down due the Covid 19.

The latest fully electric concrete mixer truck features a “lift off” battery pack that will dramatically lower the price of the battery swapping system.
Quality fully electric wheel loaders are now a reality with the XC918EV and XC958EV released at Bauma. The 6 tonne and 19 tonne machines both have 8 hours duration in normal loading conditions on a 50 minute charge time. Fuel costs are roughly 35% of diesel equivalents to run.
If you need bigger XCMG’s 150 tonne diesel electric XC9350 was released at Bauma. The 150 tonne operating weight loader is standard with an 18m3 bucket for quarry work.
The massive loader was certainly the star of the show at Bauma and features an energy recovery system.
A video of the XC loader series is here. At 2:10 the video discusses the electric loaders The diesel series starts at 3:33 The first of the diesel XCs arrive in New Zealand in February 2021 At 6.05 a discussion of the build of the 150 tonne XC9350 https://youtu.be/0DthHGjIoBU

We have ordered some larger units with 12m working height. These feature full length track frames and will arrive in December. Great value at $42,000 + GST ex Penrose.
Another batch delivery of ninety tonne P9 dump trucks in China. These are far cheaper to run than ADT’s where conditions allow.
One of the larger users of XCMG equipment is the Wuhai City mining area. They currently run over 500 XCMG dump trucks and 200 excavators between 70 and 300 tonne.
You can tell XCMG is a big outfit when 18,000 employees turn up to watch the company sports day.
