Recently, at the 2026 National Industry Vocational Skills Competition – “Xugong Cup” National Fifth Engineering Machinery Maintenance Worker Vocational Skills Competition and the National Finals of the “Belt and Road Initiative” Mechanical Industry Skills Competition, all five contestants from the Excavator and Loader Department achieved outstanding results and won awards.
This year’s competition has for the first time set up a service and maintenance project for new energy loaders. XCMG’s new energy loaders were showcased as the competition vehicles.
The emergence of a champion is never accidental: it is the result of XCMG’s leading position in the global new energy sector, the combined effect of technological accumulation, industrial layout, and talent ecosystem.
Xugong’s loading machinery includes various routes such as pure electric, hybrid electric, hydrogen fuel cell, and methanol engine. The product range covers from 0.6 tons to 35 tons.
By relying on cutting-edge technologies such as “three motors”, XCMG has achieved independent control over its core components. It has also taken the lead in drafting and participating in the formulation of national standards for electric construction machinery, completing the transformation from a “participant” to a “formulator”.
While leading the domestic market, XCMG’s new energy loaders have been mass-produced and exported globally. Over a hundred units have been sold to high-end markets such as Germany, Australia, and Turkey. These products meet the EU CE standards and have achieved remarkable performance, including an energy saving of over 70% and an efficiency increase of over 20%.
From being the market leader with the highest market share to achieving large-scale deliveries in the global high-end market, XCMG’s new energy loaders demonstrate the championship color of being the world’s number one.
Xugong’s post-sale machinery business relies on the Gold Medal Service Command Center Digital Platform, integrating 9 modules and 6 service indicators such as service response, fault handling, and customer satisfaction. By leveraging big data analysis and intelligent algorithms, it transforms passive responses into proactive predictions, providing global customers with solutions covering the entire lifecycle of the equipment.
This year’s “Xugong Cup” event saw all five participants win awards. In particular, Ni Yu won the gold medal in the new category of new energy vehicle maintenance. This is a microcosm reflecting the robust strength of Xugong’s aftermarket service system.
In 2010, Master Liu Wensheng won the championship in the first national competition for mechanical engineering repair skills. Sixteen years later, a new generation of skilled talents has achieved another success in the field of new energy. This time-honored tradition is based on XCMG’s lifelong cultivation model for highly skilled talents, which accounts for over 80% of the workforce – this is a moat that cannot be easily breached due to the non-quick-learnability of technology and the difficulty of replication of capital.
The “Manufacturing Single Crown” certification by the country measures the thickness of product strength, while the “National Skills Competition Champion” award tests the depth of service strength. Xugong Construction Machinery has established a full-chain closed-loop covering from research and development and manufacturing, marketing to after-sales service and talent incubation.
From “Single Crown Winner” to “Skill Champion”, XCMG’s loading machinery has been recognized twice by the national authorities as evidence of true global leadership. It not only leads the way technologically, but also accumulates strength over time in terms of talent; it not only expands its territory in the market, but also builds a complete and resilient ecosystem. This is the true foundation for XCMG’s loading machinery to achieve global leadership.
