China: A fleet of LiuGong DW105AE electric wide-body trucks has been deployed at one of Conch Cement’s mines in south China, as part of its efforts to operate ‘zero-carbon mines.’ The vehicles have a rated load of 70t and are equipped with a fully hydraulic load-sensitive steering system. They are also equipped with mining power batteries. The truck has a 500kW motor for increased traction and a large displacement pump to improve lifting time.
In 2025, Conch Cement said “Conch Cement actively responded to the national ‘Dual Carbon’ goal, accelerated the pace of electrification of transportation equipment, and systematically promoted the strategic transformation of construction machinery from diesel-driven to electric-driven. In 2025, the electrification rate of transportation equipment increased to more than 25%, representing a year-on-year increase of 12.5%.”
