en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Shantui LE60-X5 electric loader has accumulated over 2,000 hours of stable operation in a soil and stone resource utilization project in Nepal, earning recognition from local customers for its significant economic efficiency and adaptability. This marks a concrete practice by Shantui in promoting the export of new energy equipment and responding to the green initiative of the "Belt and Road" initiative, while also providing an electrification solution for sand and gravel aggregate production in high-altitude, complex terrains.
Located at the southern foothills of the Himalayas, Nepal features rugged terrain where traditional fuel-powered equipment is prone to power loss and increased fuel consumption at high altitudes. The Shantui LE60-X5 electric loader is equipped with a lithium iron phosphate battery and a permanent magnet synchronous motor, which does not rely on oxygen combustion, ensuring no power output loss under high-altitude conditions. Its energy recovery system reduces the burden on the braking system during frequent uphill and downhill operations, minimizing brake pad wear and improving equipment availability and reliability.
Given the high local diesel prices and relatively low electricity costs, the full lifecycle cost advantage of electric loaders is evident. According to customer feedback, a single charge of over an hour can meet half a day's operational needs, with the cab offering excellent heat and sound insulation and superior air conditioning performance. Calculations show that a single electric loader can save hundreds of thousands of yuan annually in energy costs alone, and with reduced maintenance expenses, total operating costs are more than halved compared to fuel-powered equipment. This economic efficiency is driving the transformation of Nepal's construction machinery industry toward electrification.
To address the scarcity of local technicians skilled in electric equipment maintenance, the Shantui project team, adhering to the principle of "Customer satisfaction is our purpose," conducted systematic training for operators and maintenance personnel. The training covered diagnostics of the electronic control system, battery management and maintenance, as well as quick replacement of wear parts such as bucket teeth and wear plates. Additionally, the team assisted the customer in establishing a local warehousing system for key spare parts to ensure timely supply of commonly used components. This considerate service, which prioritizes customer needs, has earned genuine trust from the client.
This delivery marks the first large-scale application of Shantui electric loaders in the Nepalese market, breaking the long-standing dominance of fuel-powered equipment in the region. The successful operation of the project helps solidify Shantui's brand reputation in Nepal and provides a reference case for the promotion of electrification in neighboring countries. The customer noted that the equipment's zero-emission, low-noise, and high-efficiency features align with the green energy strategy promoted by the Nepalese government, positioning it as a benchmark for electrification in the mining and infrastructure sectors.
Shantui is leveraging new energy equipment as a gateway to help global customers achieve cost reduction, efficiency improvement, and green transformation. In the future, the company will continue to provide electrification solutions tailored to complex overseas working conditions, promoting the application of Chinese engineering equipment in international markets.
