Wisdom interprets green power, a full-scene exhibition matrix

Shantui makes construction simpler

On the first day of the exhibition, the atmosphere at Shantui's exhibition area was lively, and many star products attracted customers to stop and pay close attention frequently. In response to the characteristics of the Australian market and the harsh and complex construction environment of mines, the SE335LC excavator features industry-leading technology and performance, making it a high-efficiency, high-configuration, and low-fuel-consumption "all-in-one warrior" for earthwork and stonework. The L76-C5 loader is equipped with a Weichai WP10H engine and DANA heavy-duty mining transmission, featuring excellent fuel consumption. It comes standard with a 5-cubic-meter sand and gravel hopper and has a traction force of over 220KN, making it capable of easily adapting to various medium and heavy-duty working conditions such as metal mines, ports, and coal mines. At the same time, core components and mine chassis parts were exhibited, further strengthening Shantui's technological advantages in the mining field.

To meet the demands of the Australian municipal construction field for precision, efficiency and comfort, the DH16-B3 crawler bulldozer is equipped with a unique 3D-assisted automatic leveling technology, which significantly improves the construction accuracy and efficiency, ensuring the flatness and stability during the operation process. At the same time, it is equipped with an integral positive pressure and ROPS&FOPS cab, further ensuring the safety and comfort of the equipment.

In the field of road construction, Shantui has launched a combination solution of the SG21-B6 intelligent motor grader and the SR12-B6 roller, with "intelligent collaboration + in-depth scene exploration" at its core, injecting innovative impetus into the road construction sector. From the construction of highway subgrades to the leveling of mine roads, Shantui products perfectly meet the demands of various complex operations.

As a representative enterprise in China's construction machinery industry, Shantui has always been unwavering in taking new quality productivity as the engine to promote green innovation. The new energy loader LE20-X5 launched at this exhibition has become the focus of the entire event. It not only complies with the increasingly strict environmental protection regulations in Australia but is also widely used in various scenarios to replace manual operations. It is suitable for fields such as warehousing, ranches, municipal facilities, and small-scale infrastructure, achieving efficient handling and orderly stacking of goods. Its comprehensive energy consumption is as low as 10kWh, and the usage cost is reduced by more than 70% compared with traditional fuel models. To maximize the operational efficiency and battery life of the equipment, the LE20-X5 offers a maximum battery option of 102 KWH, with a combined battery life of 4 to 8 hours and the ability to be fully charged in 1 hour. It supports 80kW single-gun charging, ensuring efficient operation without power interruption.

Weichai's M series large-bore products lead the global high-end power market

At this exhibition, Weichai showcased the Baudouin M series, 6M33 pump diesel engine and the 20M33 large bore generator set.

At the exhibition site, the 20M33 large cylinder diameter generator set can be regarded as a "powerful player with high appearance", featuring a high-strength alloy steel crankshaft and high overall strength. Weichai's independent ECU, with algorithm optimization, has a strong one-step loading capability. It is equipped with a large-flow fuel filter as standard, with a long oil change cycle and reduced usage costs.

The 6M33 pump diesel engine also attracted a large number of customers to gather around. The key components of the product have undergone strict and thorough tests as well as market verification. It features high strength and high reliability, and can operate in a high-temperature environment of 50℃. It has been running for over 12,000 hours in a mine in Indonesia. The overall system was optimized, and the minimum fuel consumption rate was 187.4g/kWh.

With advantages such as ultra-low fuel consumption, excellent transient sudden acceleration performance, and ultra-low noise reduction capability, Weichai's M series large-bore products have been widely applied in data centers, petroleum, medical care, high-altitude areas, railways, field rescue, agriculture and animal husbandry, and other fields, continuously enhancing its competitiveness in the global high-end power market.

Sinotruk's high-end heavy-duty truck "Australia" stands out among its competitors and attracts much attention

The Sinotruk Sitrak G7 6x4 dump truck has become the new favorite of the exhibition. The power system of this vehicle adopts the high-torque and low-fuel-consumption MC13 series engine produced by Sinotruk with MAN technology, and is equipped with the Bosch high-pressure common rail injection system, providing sufficient and stable power for the vehicle under any working conditions. The Euro 5 emission standard and nitrogen oxide post-treatment controller, as well as the urea injection type SCR catalytic converter, are suitable for the high-efficiency and low-emission requirements of the high-end market.

In addition, Sinotruk, in collaboration with its dealers, showcased seven main-selling models in Australia, tailor-made for the Australian market. They have created a new generation of products that meet the strict local standards and diverse demands, featuring both high efficiency and high reliability.
