Globally, priorities for energy are changing rapidly and the adoption of electric power is accelerating beyond all other sources to help reduce carbon emissions and, at the same time, deliver considerable operational savings.
Numerous companies and operators are keen to lead the decarbonisation of their industries and have earmarked emissions reduction targets to be met by 2030, some of which are aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Energy savings of up to 70 per cent and maintenance savings in the order of 50pc are also too attractive not to be considered.
The integration of electric vehicle technology and other sustainable technologies is set to deliver significant environmental benefits, contributing to a cleaner, greener world whilst lowering energy consumption and minimising carbon emissions.
LiuGong was one of the first equipment manufacturers to identify the potential of battery electric vehicle (BEV) technology.
The company evaluated hybrid, alternative fuel transmissions before deciding electric was the best option and its first BEV project started in 2014.
LiuGong released its first, striking green electric wheel loader in 2018, offering 20pc energy savings by optimising the electric drive, hydraulic and transmission systems, whilst variable hydraulic and energy recovery systems added a further 15-20pc energy boost. The intelligent recovery systems charge the batteries during operation, allowing longer working shifts between charges, and they greatly enhance braking and improve overall machine reliability.
Data comparing a mid-size LiuGong electric wheel loader with a diesel alternative has revealed fuel and maintenance savings of $210,000 over five years, as well as emission savings of more than 330 tonnes, which was significantly more than the emissions produced by the diesel machine.
LiuGong’s design and research and development teams have continued to work hard to produce a range of electric vehicles with the toughness, intelligence and performance that has become synonymous with the manufacturer’s yellow machines.
The company released its first generation of electric vehicles in 2020, before a second generation, including the launch of its first electric skidsteer, in 2022, followed by the arrival of a motor grader last year.
More than 90 products have been launched, offering solutions for almost every application and segment, including mining machinery, industrial and port equipment, agricultural machinery and various other products. There are 11 product lines, including loaders, excavators, mining trucks, aerial work platforms, industrial vehicles and agricultural equipment.
The electric excavators, based on LiuGong’s proven F Series platform, offer superior control and faster response times across diverse applications like demolition, recycling, mining and agriculture, while the skidsteers achieve 15pc energy recovery through motor anti-drag control.
LiuGong’s electric forklifts, compared with internal combustion models, reduce operating costs by 54pc over five years and energy costs by 30-50pc with off-peak charging. The durable batteries on the forklifts last more than 5000 hours, with minimal capacity loss.
LiuGong’s electric vehicles were awarded the Top 50 Innovation Gold Award in 2021 and Top 50 Energy Gold Award in 2022.
The electric range is ideal for low noise working conditions, including for tasks such as municipal construction, agriculture and animal husbandry, concrete mixing and garden construction, and LiuGong Australia offers tailored solutions to assist the transition to electric machines.
Globally, there are well over 6000 LiuGong electric wheel loaders already operating in the field through Asia-Pacific, Europe, North America and Latin America, and the electric machines have reduced greenhouse gas emissions by hundreds of thousands of tonnes.
It looks like Australia could be the next big destination to follow LiuGong’s green electric lead.
