XCMG delivers XDE260 dump trucks to customer in Oceania

China’s XCMG Machinery says it has delivered a fleet of 230 t class XDE260 rigid dump trucks, a large-scale model designed for open pit mine operations, to an unnamed customer in Oceania, a development which it hailed as marking a new milestone, remarking that XCMG’s mining equipment is now winning recognition in the top international mining market “and filling the blank of the group’s market development map in the global mining machinery sector.”

“XCMG Mining Construction is committed to the mission and vision of ‘Leading Technology to Empower Solid Future,’ following the transformation roadmap emphasising high-end, intelligent, green, service-oriented, and international development, leveraging the opportunities of intelligent and digital transformation as well as networking capabilities to promote the high-quality development of the group, and working with our global partners to build XCMG Mining Construction into a world-class brand,” said Geng Jiawen, General Manager of XCMG Mining Construction.

The customer noted at the delivery ceremony that XCMG mining equipment’s strong engineering capabilities, top technical strength, and comprehensive after-sales services are the key reasons that prompted them to cooperate with XCMG.

It added that Oceania, a high-end market of global mining machinery, has strict requirements on the technology and quality of mining equipment products, and has established stringent standards on the safety, comfort, and reliability of the equipment. The market has to date been dominated by European and American mining equipment brands.

XCMG adds: “Compared with lightweight mining trucks, large-tonnage and heavy-duty products have a high technical threshold, and XCMG is one of the very few Chinese enterprises to develop and manufacture advanced mining equipment leveraging its global R&D platform. The group has established unique and industry-leading standards to deliver standardised and digitalised products with high quality while guaranteeing premium service.”

XCMG’s XDE260 rigid dump truck is described as a classic model that is known for its super robust transport capacity and ultra-high efficiency, and it has been exported to Europe (Serbia Zijin Copper), South America (EcuaCorriente), and other international markets with trust from customers around the world. It is equipped with a high-horsepower engine to deliver high performance and adapt to a variety of complex working conditions and utilises advanced AC frequency drive technology to deliver leading performance compared to products of the same tonnage range.

The XDE260 it adds also easy to disassemble, assemble, transport, and maintain with modular design, and it can meet customised needs of customers and flexibly match with large-scale mining excavators of over 400 tons.
