At Bauma, LiuGong unveiled new advancements in battery-electric vehicles (BEVs), next-generation T-Series wheel loaders, and intelligent total solutions.
LiuGong showcased 13 models across five product lines – wheel loaders, excavators, mining trucks, dozers, and graders – including five new battery-electric models. Machines were tailored to address key application sectors of quarrying and mining, and demolition and recycling.
“At Bauma 2025, LiuGong has demonstrated its leadership in BEV technology, total solutions, and customer-driven innovation,” said Harry Mellor, excavator product manager of LiuGong Europe. “We have listened to our customers and acted. From our industry-leading electric machines to our new T-Series wheel loaders, designed specifically for European operators, we deliver products that set new milestones for efficiency, performance, and sustainability. It has been fantastic to share these exciting developments at BAUMA and showcase not just the machines but the complete ecosystem of support that comes with them.”
LiuGong presented the 4280DE, the world’s first 24-tonne surface all-electric motor grader, designed for quarry haul road maintenance with an 8–10-hour runtime from its 423kWh battery.
The 870HE, LiuGong’s all-new electric wheel loader, is the latest addition to its portfolio of sustainable heavy machinery. With its 423kWh battery, operators can achieve 7-9 hours of uninterrupted zero-emission performance, making it a game-changer for demanding applications. Fast-charging technology enables a 20-100% charge in just 90 minutes, ensuring minimal downtime and maximum productivity.
LiuGong’s new electric excavator 924FE, equipped with a high-lift cab, brings the company’s performance in demolition, waste, and material handling into the electric era. Unlike tethered cable systems, this battery-electric excavator delivers 7 – 10 hours of zero-emission power per charge – making it ideal for waste sorting barns and environmentally sensitive sites without compromising on strength, reach, or productivity.
Also on display was LiuGong’s mining truck DR50CE which delivers exceptional efficiency with its direct-drive electric motor, reducing transmission losses and maintenance costs while maximising productivity. With a 45,000 kg payload and a 35m³ heaped capacity, it ensures near- zero energy consumption on 6-8% gradients downhill hauling, thanks to regenerative energy recovery.
The all-new 9018FE is a compact electric mini excavator designed for internal demolition and urban applications, reducing carbon emissions and noise pollution. Despite its compact size, it packs a powerful lithium iron phosphate battery, delivering up to 4.5 hours of normal-duty operation, making it an essential tool for low-emission job sites.
“LiuGong’s BEV leadership isn’t just about machines – it’s about total solutions,” says Mellor. “That’s why we’re now offering a complete range of charging infrastructure, from 30kW to 360kW, available through our dealer network to support customers transitioning to electric power.”
A highlight at its exhibition was LiuGong’s next-generation T-Series wheel loader range, a product of six years of customer feedback and refinement. This new lineup is built to meet the evolving needs of European operators.
As the flagship model of the T-Series, the 890T has undergone over 20,000 hours of rigorous testing, ensuring exceptional reliability and efficiency. With a load capacity of 10,500kg and a 5.4m³ bucket, it offers enhanced fuel efficiency, increased operator comfort, and total maintenance access, making it the ideal choice for demanding mining and quarrying applications.
The 842T is a versatile, next-generation wheel loader designed for construction, waste management, and agriculture. It features an advanced operator interface, programmable attachment settings, and an integrated weight-load system. Over-the-air software updates further optimize performance, ensuring maximum efficiency in demanding applications.
“The T-Series is built on real customer feedback,” Mellor emphasises. “Fleet owners wanted more productivity, technicians demanded better service access, and operators challenged us to deliver the most comfortable and intuitive cab experience possible. We listened, and we delivered.”
Another innovation on display was LiuGong’s heavy-duty 75-tonne class excavator, the 975F. It features LiuGong’s latest F-Series cab, enhancing visibility and control.
Enhancing earthmoving operations, the TD16N dozer is designed with zero blind spots and unmatched 360° visibility. Its design combines power, precision, and reliability, making it an essential tool for tough job sites.
LiuGong’s upgraded excavator 909ECR series-2 has been designed to optimize performance for European operators. It has 30% increased hydraulic flow for improved multi-functioning in demanding applications. The two-piece boom enhances loading performance and versatility, while an extended undercarriage and an additional 350kg counterweight provide stability for tilt-rotators and heavy attachments.
A powerful machine for demolition, the 933F DM features an 11.3m pin height, making it ideal for high-reach applications. The factory-fitted tilting cab, capable of 30-degree tilt, provides enhanced visibility and control, while F-Series upgrades such as an improved seat, 10” display, 360° lighting, and DAB radio further enhance operator comfort.
A concept machine designed to gauge market interest, the 9017F DM brings tried-and- tested remote control technology to demolition and hazardous environments. With both battery-electric and diesel solutions available, LiuGong is actively refining this technology through customer feedback, aiming for market introduction within the next two years.
