The Chinese manufacturer Zoomlion presented five advancements in new energies for heavy machinery, including a 300-ton hybrid mining truck, a harvester with lower consumption, electric technologies for cranes, intelligent controls, and solutions with battery, hydrogen, and hybrid systems.
Zoomlion presented clean energy technologies for heavy machinery, reinforcing a strategy focused on low-emission equipment in sectors such as construction, mining, and agriculture. The solutions were recognized during the company’s seventh Scientific and Technological Innovation Conference, held on June 16.
Heavy machinery enters a new phase
The announced set brings together five technological achievements related to new energies. They include hybrid power systems, electric drive technologies, intelligent controls, and a portfolio of patents focused on high-power hybrid tractors.
Among the highlights is a hybrid mining truck with electric drive and a capacity of 300 tons. Zoomlion claims it is the largest model of its kind in the world.

The list also includes distributed electric drive technologies for mobile cranes and series hybrid systems, with fully electric drive, applied to harvesters.
Portfolio grows with batteries, hybrids, and hydrogen
The innovations are part of a broader strategy to expand Zoomlion’s presence in battery-powered equipment, hybrid systems, and hydrogen fuel cells. The stated goal is to meet different industrial operations with lower-emission machines.
The manufacturer reported that it created a platform dedicated to new energy technologies. This structure develops electric drive architectures, core components, and vehicle control systems used in the equipment.
Currently, the company offers about 240 new energy products. In 2025, almost 60 new models were developed, within a line that includes battery electric, hybrid, and hydrogen fuel cell machines.
The portfolio also includes battery swapping solutions and plug-in recharging. The company claims to internally develop key technologies, such as lithium batteries, electric motors, control systems, and hydrogen fuel cells.
Agriculture gains machines with lower consumption
In agriculture, Zoomlion cited examples of hybrid equipment. The hybrid wheat harvester reduces fuel consumption by about 30%, while the hybrid tractor delivers an approximate 8% savings with better energy management.
These numbers indicate how partial electrification can be applied in rural operations that require power, autonomy, and field endurance.
Mining receives driverless control
In mining, it presented wire-controlled chassis technology for unmanned trucks. The system uses a three-level braking architecture, combining retarder brake, electric braking, and mechanical braking.
The solution was designed to enhance safety in demanding operational conditions in mines. Other recognized technologies involve intelligent controls for large equipment, within the company’s advancement in more automated machines.
Ou Biao, director of the Vehicle Control Institute at Zoomlion New Energy Technology Company, stated that the recognition validates the engineers’ work and encourages advancements. He emphasized that new energy products require repeated testing in mines, fields, and challenging environments.
Zoomlion reported that it intends to continue expanding its line of new energy equipment and work more closely with customers globally to develop machines adapted to local operating conditions.
