Against the backdrop of the “Double Carbon” goals, as a typical scenario of heavy-duty, high-frequency, and pollution-intensive operations, emission reduction in steel transportation has become a hard indicator. An increasing number of new energy heavy trucks are entering the steel logistics sector, and XCMG new energy heavy trucks have emerged as an “excellent student” in this field due to their outstanding product adaptability and operational performance.
“Used to drive diesel trucks, reeking of diesel after each trip and always worrying about fuel prices. Now driving XCMG new energy heavy trucks, it’s clean, powerful, and even the dispatcher says this vehicle is reliable.” These are the heartfelt words of Master Du, who has been engaged in steel transportation for many years.
Tempered by Scenarios: Strength Proven Through Multi-Line Tests
From factory warehouses to docks, in-plant storage points, and downstream customers, short-to-medium-haul transportation accounts for a very high proportion in steel logistics. Some roads have significant slopes, placing higher demands on vehicle power and stability.
Under the comprehensive test of multi-route, different road conditions, and high-intensity operations, XCMG new energy heavy trucks not only demonstrate strong power but also run stably and economically. A major client in Hebei stated: “Our fleet has 50 XCMG 282kWh standard-load battery swap tractors. Since their purchase in 2021, these vehicles have an average mileage of 150,000 kilometers, fully meeting the needs of short-haul transportation tasks such as steel product outbound, raw material transportation, and peripheral city distribution. Compared with diesel trucks, they save 23% in operational costs.”
For heavy-load scenarios including steel plant logistics, XCMG new energy heavy trucks are equipped with motor frequency conversion technology. They reduce carrier frequency for energy saving during light loads while maintaining stable output under heavy loads. Through fine calibration of shift points, overall vehicle energy consumption is significantly reduced.
Customized Solutions: Improving Efficiency Based on Local Conditions
The routes for short-haul transportation in steel plants may seem fixed, but each has its uniqueness. Some are dozens of kilometers from warehouses to plant yards, while others span across plants or even county-level distances. Meanwhile, factors such as load, frequency, and working conditions all affect fleet operations.
At a steel plant in Shanxi, engineers from XCMG Motor stationed on-site to understand route differences (from warehouses to plant yards, and outbound to downstream customers), vehicle load fluctuations, slope sections, and drivers’ shift patterns. Adopting the pioneering model of “customized solutions,” they optimized vehicle battery configuration and implemented off-peak energy replenishment during shift changes.
The client noted: “Under the ‘customized solutions’ model, the fleet’s idle energy replenishment time has been significantly reduced, and attendance rate has greatly increased. This ‘double effect’ of reduction and increase has brought tangible growth in operational profits.”
Considerate Service: Fast Response for High Efficiency
At a steel plant in Northeast China, the client has purchased a total of 100 XCMG 400kWh pure electric dump trucks in multiple batches.
In addition to high-quality products, thoughtful service is another key factor 打动 (impressing) clients. The client stated: “We never worry about operational efficiency. Whether in the middle of the night or during wind and rain, as long as needed, a single call brings XCMG Motor’s after-sales service team in a timely manner, striving to solve problems without delay or perfunctory attitudes.”
XCMG Motor always centers on customers, fully ensuring their high-intensity transportation needs and timeliness requirements:
- 24-hour on-site service: Provides round-the-clock technical support, eliminating clients’ concerns about sudden vehicle issues during operations.
- National service network: Full coverage of supporting service stations nationwide, with timely response to on-site problems and 24-hour resolution for major issues.
- Complete green transportation solutions + digital support: Integrates vehicle procurement, energy replenishment networks, and financial services to empower client terminals, while digitalization assists in fleet operations, enhancing safety and doubling benefits.
If steel is the backbone of industry, then steel transportation is the bloodstream supporting this backbone. Currently, the power source for steel transportation is gradually shifting from traditional fuel to electrified energy. XCMG Motor will empower the industry with stable, efficient, and economical products, as well as thoughtful and intelligent services, helping steel logistics write a new chapter of “high quality” and “high sustainability.”
