en.Wedoany.com Reported - XCMG XC958-HEV hybrid loader has achieved 1,500 hours of stable operation in a large open-pit mining area in South Africa. Operational data shows that its fuel consumption is 40% lower than that of traditional fuel loaders of the same tonnage, while overall operational efficiency has increased by 20%.
The mining area faces complex conditions such as high temperatures, high humidity, and heavy dust year-round, imposing high demands on equipment power performance, reliability, and operational costs.
In this mining area, the XC958-HEV is primarily responsible for tasks such as coal shoveling, loading, and transfer. Since its commissioning, the equipment has operated stably for 1,500 consecutive hours. Operators report that even under continuous heavy-load operations, the equipment responds quickly and operates reliably.
This model adopts XCMG's self-developed range-extended hybrid technology, achieving efficient synergy between power and electric drive. It delivers greater torque and responds rapidly under conditions such as heavy-load shoveling, full-load climbing, and frequent start-stop cycles. The machine's endurance exceeds 20 hours, meeting the mining area's round-the-clock continuous operation needs. The project manager stated that with the same workload, less fuel is now consumed, and equipment efficiency is higher.
In recent years, XCMG has accelerated the construction of a new energy loading machinery product matrix covering all scenarios and working conditions, focusing on technical routes such as pure electric, hybrid, and hydrogen energy. From mining operations to port logistics, and from material shoveling to infrastructure construction, an increasing number of XCMG new energy equipment is being deployed in various engineering projects worldwide.
