XCMG recently unveiled its latest lineup of fuel-efficient and low-emission cranes at major European industry events.
The company displayed the XCA60_EV, a hybrid all terrain crane, at Vertikal Days in the UK and at France’s JDL, drawing strong interest from industry stakeholders.
Purpose-built for European job sites, the XCA60_EV is equipped with a proprietary oil-electric hybrid drivetrain that cuts fuel consumption and reduces carbon output by up to 40 per cent. The launch demonstrates XCMG’s advancing capabilities in sustainable engineering and next-generation lifting solutions.
XCMG has consistently intensified its focus on sustainability, intelligent engineering, and localised product development, launching a range of premium cranes designed for Europe’s demanding construction environment. These initiatives strengthen the company’s position as a trusted partner in supporting Europe’s transition toward lower-emission fleets and modernised urban infrastructure.
Notable models from this European-focused portfolio include:
• The XCA60_EV, featuring a 400V plug-and-play electric drive system that supports fully zero-emission lifting operations. It is powered by a 170kW electric motor, complemented by a dual-engine transport system with a total output of 400kW, delivering fuel savings without compromising lift capacity or reliability.
• Compact, high-performance cranes engineered on XCMG’s G2 technology platform excel in dense urban environments. The XCA80G7-1E boasts a streamlined footprint of 12.73m × 2.55m × 3.89m and a tight turning radius of 7.75 metres. Equipped with a 60-metre main boom and a dual-hook coordination system ideal for complex city projects, the XCA250G7-1E supports remote-controlled operation, allowing a single operator to manage tasks efficiently, and incorporates an innovative telescoping mechanism tailored for confined spaces. Both all-terrain models come with 360 degree vision systems for enhanced jobsite safety and operator awareness.
XCMG continued showcasing its XCA60_EV hybrid crane at GIS EXPO 2025 in Piacenza, Italy, in September. At the event, the company also debuted another Europe-specific model – the XCR50_E rough-terrain crane. Featuring an ultra-narrow body width of just 2.5 metres, the crane complies with European Union transport standards and significantly improves mobility and access on congested jobsites.
“XCMG is committed to supporting sustainable and intelligent infrastructure development across Europe. ‘Rooted in Europe, Dedicated to Europe’ is both our strategic focus and our commitment to customers and the environment,” said Sun Jianzhong, Vice President of XCMG Construction Machinery and General Manager of XCMG Crane.
The strategy is already gaining traction. XCMG’s low-emission cranes have secured bulk orders from customers in Germany, France, the Netherlands, and other European markets, underscoring growing regional trust in the company’s advanced lifting equipment and customer-driven solutions.
