XCMG’s Lower Carbon Excavators
XCMG has launched a new generation of
G-series excavators that the company says meets the increasing stringent
emissions requirements around the world, such as China’s new National IV
emission standard.
In a press release the OEM said that,
regarding standards, the European market is the most complex region in the
world, with the EU market requiring that emission levels reach European Stage V
Emission Standards.
Some countries in Northern Europe require
zero emissions from urban construction machinery, while the UK will require the
UKCA emissions certificate from 2025.
To meet European regulations, XCMG’s
excavator unit and Research Institute jointly set up a European R&D team to
carry out research on improving CE compliance self-declaration capabilities.
XCMG has launched more than 20 excavator
models in Europe, achieving full coverage of major tonnage models in the
region. That company says that it expects the number of models to grow in 2023,
bolstering the product range and covering more market segments. Sales in the
market have doubled for two years and the OEM has more than 40 agents and 100
outlets in Europe.
