XCMG to Debut the XCA60_EV Hybrid Crane at the JDL Expo
XCMG, a long-standing name in construction machinery, will unveil its latest hybrid crane, the XCA60_EV, at the upcoming JDL Expo. The showcase is a clear moment for the company to underline what it stands for: reliable, powerful, and durable lifting solutions that keep pace with today’s expectations. With sustainability front and center, the XCA60_EV is built to align with the market’s shift toward cleaner, more efficient equipment—without losing sight of performance in real-world jobs.
What Sets the XCA60_EV Apart
The XCA60_EV moves electrification forward in hoisting equipment. It’s an all-terrain crane with a hybrid powertrain that pairs a diesel engine with electric motors, allowing zero-emission operation in electric mode. That capability helps users cut operating costs by up to 40% while maintaining the productivity they need on site. In short: cleaner operation when you want it, power when you need it.
Advanced Multi-Energy Supply System
A standout of the XCA60_EV is its multi-energy supply setup, engineered for efficient, practical use on the job. The crane features 400V AC plug-and-play capability and a 170kW motor, making charging and power delivery straightforward. These elements help the machine perform consistently across varied conditions, from tight urban jobs to broader project sites, giving operators a versatile tool for today’s shifting demands.
Intelligent Control System
An intelligent control system elevates both safety and precision. Operators get the support needed to handle complex lifts with confidence, and the technology helps maintain a steady margin of safety in demanding environments. The result is smoother decision-making and repeatable accuracy, lift after lift.
Design and Capabilities
The XCA60_EV is engineered with a compact footprint, so it can maneuver through tight spaces and along narrow city streets where traditional cranes often struggle. At the same time, it’s built to lift: a capacity of up to 60 tonnes paired with a 48-meter boom covers a wide range of tasks. Whether the job calls for careful placement in a crowded area or more straightforward lifting on a larger site, the crane is designed to scale to different project requirements.
Operator-First G2 Cab
The G2 cab design focuses on comfort and clarity. Larger windows and an unobstructed view give operators better sightlines, supporting safer, more deliberate movements throughout the lift. With improved visibility and a thoughtful layout, the cab helps reduce fatigue and keeps attention where it belongs—on the work at hand.
XCMG’s Focus on the European Market
Showing the XCA60_EV at the expo also reflects XCMG’s ongoing commitment to Europe. The company continues to expand its footprint across the region, building out local service centers and strengthening partnerships with distributors. The goal is simple: dependable support, closer to where customers operate.
Raising the Bar for Sustainable Lifting
The unveiling of the XCA60_EV is expected to reinforce XCMG’s role in advancing sustainable construction solutions. It’s designed to meet the growing demand for environmentally friendly machinery while keeping performance at the forefront. Attendees at the JDL Expo will have the chance to see how this hybrid crane can help set a new benchmark—practical, efficient, and ready for the field.
