Electric Mining dump truck in test at the factory

I was back at the factory last week for final testing of the electric mining dump truck for the South Island. An upgraded seat and new dash were the final changes.


A short video of the truck running at the factory.

Ultra light tractor

XCMG have released their first “ultra light” tractor. The G7 ULT, 6×4 tractor has a 460hp diesel engine and a GVM of 49 tonne. The tare is 7.9 tonne, comfortably the lowest from China, and less than most from Japan.(pic: Etrucks XCMG E700 6×4 tractor.jpg)
