As of now, both orders have been overfulfilled and the electric drive system XCMG purchased from the company has improved the availability ratio of XCMG equipment products by 10 percent while extending the products' life span by 30 percent.

XCMG is also seeing an increased demand for large scale mining construction equipment sets as its mining business sector is gaining wide recognition in the global market for comprehensive mining construction solutions and high-quality equipment - XCMG's global purchasing strategy is supporting the companies to achieve greater success.
