The EHSL552F model includes a fast 6-speed gearbox and features substantial chassis clearance, enabling it to easily navigate steep slopes.
Additionally, the EHSL552F is designed for reduced maintenance costs within its lifespan of over 1.5 million kilometres.
Since 2021, XCMG has been researching and manufacturing hydrogen energy equipment, culminating in the creation of the Shanghai Hydrogen Energy Technology Research Institute in April 2022.
This April, a landmark agreement was reached between CHN Energy, XCMG and THIKO New Energy to co-develop the first-ever 240-ton hydrogen-powered mining dump truck in the world.
