XCMG Machinery Launches Hydrogen-Powered Dump Truck Model EHSL552F in China
Key Ideas
  • XCMG Machinery introduced the EHSL552F, a new hydrogen fuel cell dump truck model with a 120 kW hydrogen fuel cell and high-power battery system, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 99.3 kg daily.
  • The vehicle's design includes a six-speed gearbox, significant chassis clearance for navigation on steep slopes, topology optimization, and new materials reducing weight by 200 kg while maintaining structural strength.
  • XCMG has been actively involved in hydrogen energy research and manufacturing, unveiling 16 hydrogen energy equipment models, such as tractors, dump trucks, and refuse truck chassis, with a focus on reducing maintenance costs and long operational lifespan.
  • An agreement was made with CHN Energy and THIKO New Energy to co-develop a 240-ton hydrogen-powered mining dump truck for deployment in the Bayan Obo Mining District, enhancing sustainability in large-scale mining operations.
XCMG Machinery, based in Xuzhou, China, has introduced the EHSL552F, a hydrogen-powered dump truck model equipped with a 120 kW hydrogen fuel cell and high-power battery system. This launch is a significant move towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 99.3 kg daily, especially for demanding transportation projects like mining operations. The vehicle's design incorporates advanced features like a six-speed gearbox, substantial chassis clearance for maneuvering steep slopes, and the use of computer-aided topology optimization and new materials to reduce weight by 200 kg without compromising strength or reliability. Additionally, XCMG has been actively involved in hydrogen energy research and manufacturing, leading to the creation of the Shanghai Hydrogen Energy Technology Research Institute. They have unveiled various hydrogen energy equipment models, including tractors, dump trucks, and refuse truck chassis, focusing on minimizing maintenance costs and extending operational lifespan. Furthermore, a collaboration between XCMG, CHN Energy, and THIKO New Energy aims to develop a 240-ton hydrogen-powered mining dump truck for deployment in the Bayan Obo Mining District, known for housing one of China's largest open coal mines. This initiative showcases XCMG's commitment to sustainable transportation solutions in the mining sector and highlights the growing role of hydrogen technology in reducing environmental impact.
