en.Wedoany.com Reported - The "Ignite! National Heavy Equipment" project, jointly launched by the China Association for Public Companies and Douyin, was inaugurated in Hangzhou, with XCMG Group invited to attend and share insights. The project organized over 80 creators to visit 20 industry-leading enterprises, including XCMG, in the first half of 2026, aiming to transform hardcore technology and industrial content into engaging public interest stories. As of now, the topic "Ignite, National Heavy Equipment" has accumulated over 13 billion views, while the topic "How China's Autonomous Mining Trucks Are Transforming the Mining Industry" has entered the top three on Douyin's trending list, with over 80 million views.
At the Huaneng Yimin Open-Pit Mine, creators witnessed the world's first fleet of 100 L4-level autonomous electric mining trucks produced by XCMG—the Huaneng Ruichi Pure Electric Autonomous Mining Truck. This truck eliminates the cab, allowing for a more optimized vehicle layout and enabling each load to carry an additional 5 tons of coal. In heavy snowstorms with extremely low visibility, the fleet achieves precise obstacle avoidance through a triple perception system composed of LiDAR, millimeter-wave radar, and cameras. It supports rapid fully automatic battery swapping in just 6 minutes and achieves millisecond-level cloud-based dispatching via a 5G private network. In extreme cold conditions of -40°C, the fleet of 100 trucks operates 24/7, transforming traditional open-pit mining methods and ensuring energy supply for the three northeastern provinces and Inner Mongolia.
At the XCMG Mining Machinery Intelligent Manufacturing Base, creators explored the world's largest rear-drive rigid mining truck, the XDE440, and the "China's No. 1 Excavator," the XE7000 hydraulic excavator. The XDE440 has a payload capacity of 400 tons, setting a world record for rear-drive rigid mining trucks, with traction equivalent to that of a fully loaded 16-car Harmony train. The XE7000 features a bucket capacity of 55 cubic meters, capable of loading 60 tons of coal per scoop, with an hourly excavation volume exceeding 1,500 cubic meters, making China the fourth country globally capable of developing and manufacturing hydraulic excavators over 700 tons.
In the field of safety and emergency equipment, XCMG showcased the DG101, a super-high-rise rescue apparatus that has set five industry records. With a maximum working height of 101 meters, it integrates high-altitude rescue and firefighting functions, enabling rescue operations for 33-story buildings. Additionally, the "Steel Mantis" can traverse complex terrains such as mountainous areas with ease, and by attaching various tools, it can perform functions including excavation, firefighting, logging, drilling, and piling, even under extreme conditions at an altitude of 4,500 meters and temperatures as low as -40°C.
A representative from the China Association for Public Companies stated that the project aims to tell the stories of listed companies in a warm and engaging way, showcasing craftsmanship and patriotic dedication, making corporate images more tangible, credible, and accessible. XCMG Group noted that the narrative behind national heavy equipment is not merely about isolated technological logic but is a story of the times closely tied to every citizen. The company will continue to bring national heavy equipment into the public eye and into people's hearts.
