XCMG Crane Showcases Six Tailor-Made Models for Europe at bauma 2025
In an impressive demonstration of innovation and commitment to sustainability, XCMG Crane unveiled six cutting-edge crane models specifically designed for the European market at bauma 2025, the world's leading construction machinery trade fair held in Munich. This event underscored XCMG's dedication to meeting the unique demands of Europe while aligning with the continent's green transition and urban renewal initiatives.
Among the standout models presented was the
XCA60_EV, the world's first hybrid all-terrain crane. This remarkable machine utilizes an in-house developed hybrid oil-electric system, achieving a 40% reduction in carbon emissions. It's equipped with a plug-and-play electrical system operating at 400 volts for emission-free lifting, seamlessly combining a 170 kW electric motor with a dual-engine transport system that delivers a total power output of 400 kW. This ensures fuel efficiency while maintaining high performance levels.
In urban environments where space is limited, XCMG's compact cranes built on the G2 technology platform proved exceptional. The
XCA80G7-1E features a 60-meter boom and dual hook coordination tailored for urban projects, while the
XCA250G7-1E incorporates remote control technology to enhance operational efficiency for single operators and introduces innovative telescopic systems perfect for tight spaces. Meanwhile, XCMG's ultra-narrow European models—the
XCR50_E,
XCR70_E, and
XCR90_E—boast a slim 2.5-meter width, compliant with EU transport regulations, and showcase robust performance across various energy projects, especially in Turkey, with eco-friendly hydraulic systems and fuel-efficient torque converters.
Yang Dongsheng, President of XCMG Machinery, emphasized the company’s commitment to becoming a central player in Europe’s future smart and sustainable infrastructure, stating, "We are dedicated to being a key enabler for the future of intelligent and sustainable infrastructure in Europe." This strategy bore fruit at bauma 2025, where XCMG secured large orders from clients in Germany, France, and the Netherlands for its hybrid and compact models, marking a significant endorsement of XCMG's tailored solutions and its roadmap towards ecological transition.
A Dutch lifting and transportation company’s CEO, alongside his operators team, lauded XCMG’s cranes during the event, highlighting that the G2 series cranes showcased impressively humanized engineering. The enveloping panoramic windshield and the recessed control console layout augmented operational visibility by over 40%. Another point of praise was XCMG's attention to detail in manufacturing, with commendations on aspects such as hydraulic pipe arrangements, centralized lubrication systems, clean welding seams, and tight tolerances in structural components, fully aligning with European standards.
From operational ergonomics to equipment reliability, XCMG's cranes won over the technical team with their exceptional performance, solidifying their place as the preferred brand for future acquisitions. This move by XCMG not only indicates a strategic approach to market needs but also reinforces the company’s vision of integrating advanced technology with environmental awareness, setting a benchmark for the construction machinery industry in Europe. With these developments at bauma 2025, XCMG stands out as a vital partner in the ongoing evolution of sustainable construction practices across the continent.
