Port 'Zero Carbon Relay'! XCMG Delivers Dual Excellence with Green Excavators

August 25,2026

At a port operation site in Shandong, two XCMG XE215EV electric excavators are orderly carrying out material stacking tasks.

Powered by electricity, they operate with zero emissions and no pollution, echoing the four wind turbines slowly rotating above the port—wind rises, the arm falls, a zero-carbon relay silently unfolds between heaven and earth.

“The energy-saving effect far exceeds expectations!” The project manager's exclamation stems from solid data. Since the trial operation of the two XE215EVs last year, they have delivered an impressive report card in just one month: compared to fuel-powered equipment, energy costs have dropped by 50%. Taking a single unit as an example, the monthly fuel cost is about 30,000 yuan, while the electricity cost is only 15,000 yuan, saving nearly 200,000 yuan per unit per year.

What's more worth mentioning is that traditional maintenance items such as engine oil and filters are eliminated, significantly reducing maintenance costs and also lowering the failure rate—this "green account" is clear in every calculation and substantial in every outcome.

For frontline operators, the changes brought by XE215EV are equally perceptible. A machine operator with years of driving experience said that this was his first encounter with an electric excavator, leaving a deep impression: "The movements are coordinated, without any jerkiness, the machine is relatively light, and it's especially nimble when moving and walking."

In yard operations, the vehicle's anti-blowback system effectively deals with the port's dusty environment, ensuring stable equipment operation. At the same time, the electric excavator starts and warms up much faster than fuel-powered equipment, greatly improving operational readiness efficiency, making drivers more at ease in daily operations.

Currently, Shandong ports are accelerating the transition to green and low-carbon, actively building a green and low-carbon port ecosystem. In this wave of green transformation, XCMG XE215EV pure electric excavators, with their zero-emission and low-noise performance, inject green energy into port operations.

It is not only a cost-effective tool for operations but also a replicable and promotable green construction solution, exploring a practical path for green port construction.

XCMG, with its efficient, reliable, and intelligent green equipment, helps ports accelerate their green transition. In the future, XCMG will continue to delve into the field of new energy construction machinery, introduce more innovative products, create green value for global customers, and jointly build a zero-carbon future.
