XUZHOU, China, July 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading Chinese
construction machinery manufacturer XCMG (SHE: 000425) is
celebrating the 2020 International Day of Cooperatives on
July 4 through a retrospective of its
successful partnership achievements with top global industry
partners over the past year.
XCMG entered strategic agreements with two existing long-term
partners – leading diesel engine manufacturer Cummins and leading
global mining group Rio Tinto – in the fall of 2019. Together, the
companies have committed to strengthen mutually beneficial global
activities across all areas of the product and value chain. In
addition, the partners have pledged to share resources and new
technologies, while continuously improving global R&D,
manufacturing and service systems.
"XCMG is committed to working hand-in-hand with our partners to
grow and succeed together. Through active engagements and strategic
local initiatives, we will ultimately create better products and
services for customers around the world," said Wang Min, Chairman of XCMG.
Exploring new energy solutions and premium product upgrades
with Cummins
XCMG has expanded its 40-year partnership with Cummins beyond
conventional diesel power to include new energy solutions. The two
manufacturers have jointly developed a 3.5-ton electric
mini-excavator, featuring a Cummins BM5.7E battery module that can
operate for up to eight hours on one charge, and has passed fatigue
tests to demonstrate both reliability and zero emissions.
As part of its ongoing cooperation, Cummins and XCMG prioritize
high-end product strategies, strict quality control and
high-efficiency/low energy consumption while ensuring maximum
product reliability and stability. XCMG's milestone accomplishments
with Cummins include:
- A super 4,000-ton XGC88000 crawler crane equipped with three
Cummins QSK23 high-powered engines;
- A 400-ton super hydraulic excavator powered by Cummins QSK60
high-powered engines;
- A 700-ton hydraulic excavator featuring dual Cummins QSK50
high-powered engines.
With Rio Tinto: integrating mining solutions while
guaranteeing quality
From cold, snow-covered plateaus to the extreme heat of open-pit
mines in Australia, XCMG's mining
graders have won recognition in the open-mining market for their
high quality and performance. In December
2019, XCMG successfully delivered nine customized GR2605
large-scale mining graders to Rio Tinto in Australia, marking another landmark since the
brand's cooperation began with BHP and Vale.
According to Australian standards and requirements, the
customized GR2605 mining grader was set to 35 types of welds with
corresponding procedures that fully guarantee welding quality and
meets the requirements of the mining market.
