CBC Delegation Explores XCMG’s CleanTech Innovations in Xuzhou

Xuzhou, China – April 8, 2025 — In a high-level visit that underscored the global shift toward sustainable industrial innovation, leaders from the CleanTech Business Club (CBC) met with top executives of XCMG, one of the world’s leading construction and mining machinery manufacturers. XCMG is rapidly establishing itself as a pioneer in clean heavy machinery, developing hydrogen-powered and electric equipment that is already transforming the industrial landscape.

Walking through the vast, high-tech production lines of XCMG’s sprawling manufacturing campus, visitors witnessed the company’s impressive lineup of zero-emission mining trucks, hydrogen-fueled cranes, and electric construction vehicles. Far from being just prototypes, these are real machines with real impact—designed to power the next generation of infrastructure without polluting the planet.

Real Machines, Real Impact

Walking through the company’s advanced manufacturing base, the CBC delegation witnessed firsthand a wide range of hydrogen-powered and electric vehicles already in production and deployment. These include:

EHSL552F hydrogen fuel cell dump trucks, reducing daily CO₂ emissions by nearly 100 kg, with full commercial application in mining transport.
The XC968-FCEV hydrogen-powered wheel loader, currently operating in Shanxi coal mines with over 1 000 hours of stable zero-emission performance.
Electric wheel loaders like the XC958-EV and XC968-EV, delivering clean, quiet, and efficient performance across industrial sites.

These aren’t experimental concepts—they are deployed and operational machines changing the way infrastructure is built.

A Vision Beyond Steel and Smoke

XCMG’s transformation is more than technological—it’s philosophical. The company has embraced a forward-looking strategy that positions sustainability and innovation at the heart of its global operations. Their motto, “Pioneering the Future of Clean Heavy Machinery,” speaks to this ambition.

"Green is not a buzzword for us—it’s a blueprint," said a senior XCMG executive during the visit. "We're engineering solutions that support global decarbonization while maintaining the strength and durability our partners demand."

XCMG is investing heavily in next-gen R&D, including smart factories, AI-integrated systems, battery-swapping technologies, and advanced hydrogen powertrains. With a workforce of over 15 000 engineers, the company has become one of China's national champions in driving the transition to low-carbon construction and mining operations.

From China to the World—Including Africa

With operations in over 180 countries, XCMG is not only one of China’s industrial giants—it is a global power player. The company’s strategic growth includes an expanded presence in Morocco and across the African continent, where rapid urbanization and infrastructure development require sustainable, robust machinery.

"Step by step, we’re helping African economies leapfrog into a cleaner industrial era," noted the CBC delegation. "XCMG’s clean, efficient machines are perfectly suited to support the Green Transition in fast-growing markets."

A Natural Ally for the CleanTech Movement

The visit also marked a deepening of ties between XCMG and the CBC under the banner of #TogetherWeAreStronger, #Declaration2030, and #JointManifesto2030—a global movement uniting CleanTech, Clean Hydrogen, and Clean Water innovators.

Our strategic discussions with XCMG focused on creating high-impact partnerships," noted the CBC delegation. "Together, we are shaping a multi-trillion-dollar CleanTech economy—one that delivers prosperity while restoring our planet."

A Clean, Regenerative Future

As CBC and XCMG align their missions, the world gets closer to realizing a new era of industry: one where cranes lift more than steel—they lift hope; where trucks carry not just materials, but a message of climate resilience; and where the heavy-duty icons of yesterday become the clean-powered champions of tomorrow.
