XCMG Machinery recently unveiled its latest lineup of fuel-efficient and low-emission cranes at major European industry events. The company introduced the XCA60_EV, the world's first hybrid all-terrain crane, at Vertikal Days in the UK on September 10 and at France's JDL Expo on September 17, 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%.
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 localized 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 modernized 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 170 kW electric motor, complemented by a dual-engine transport system with a total output of 400 kW, 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 x 2.55m x 3.89m and a tight turning radius of 7.75 meters. Equipped with a 60-meter 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 360deg vision systems for enhanced jobsite safety and operator awareness.
XCMG has announced plans to continue showcasing its XCA60_EV hybrid crane at GIS EXPO 2025 in Piacenza, Italy, beginning September 25. At the event, the company will also debut another Europe-specific model--the XCR50_Erough-terrain crane. Featuring an ultra-narrow body width of just 2.5 meters, the crane complies with EU transport standards and significantly improves mobility and access on congested jobsites.
