From the XCA60-EV crane to best-selling excavators, XCMG demonstrated its commitment to sustainable innovation, smart manufacturing, and global collaboration, leaving a strong impression on UK and European markets.
Vertikal Days: Leading the Future of Sustainable Aerial Work Solutions
At Vertikal Days 2025, XCMG embraced the exhibition’s theme of “green, eco-friendly, and sustainable” by showcasing multiple innovative products, including the XCA60-EV electric all-terrain crane. The exhibits spanned fully electric aerial work platforms, forklifts, and electro-hydraulic hybrid solutions, fully demonstrating XCMG’s achievements in low-carbon transformation.
As an industry-leading construction machinery manufacturer, XCMG adheres to the philosophy of “technology leadership, durability, and craftsmanship.” Continuous breakthroughs in electrification, intelligence, and safety allow XCMG to provide clients with more efficient, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective construction solutions.
During the exhibition, XCMG also enhanced brand engagement through a creative sponsorship initiative. As an official coffee sponsor, all visitors received a cup of coffee branded with the XCMG logo upon entering. Next to the coffee station, promotional posters and market research questionnaires invited attendees to participate in a prize draw, enabling XCMG’s team to collect valuable industry insights and connect with potential distributors, laying a foundation for future market expansion.
Plantworx 2025: Electric and Intelligent Machinery Steals the Spotlight
Following Vertikal Days, XCMG participated in Plantworx 2025, held from September 24 to 26, 2025. As one of the UK’s most influential construction machinery events, Plantworx focuses on live demonstrations and in-person experiences, attracting global manufacturers, suppliers, and industry experts.
Centered on green innovation and sustainable development, XCMG adopted the theme “Global Friendship, Globalization”, with an internationally themed booth design featuring excavator buckets painted with artistic motifs and national flags from the UK, Ireland, Wales, the USA, and China — symbolizing XCMG’s philosophy of connecting the world through smart manufacturing and fostering win-win international cooperation.
XCMG exhibited several key electric and intelligent products, including loaders, excavators, and rollers, demonstrating its advancements in electrification and smart construction solutions. On the first day of the exhibition, multiple popular models were successfully sold, including the XC7-TV12, XE235Ecr, XE135E, and XE155Ecr. The XE135E secured its second consecutive year as the UK’s best-selling excavator, while the XC7-TV12 became the star attraction, with over 100 product brochures distributed in a matter of hours.
XCMG also established connections with over 50 potential partners and signed agreements and purchase orders with dealers such as Cooks Midlands Ltd and C.G. Robinson & Sons Ltd, further strengthening its influence in the UK and European markets.
The exhibition featured a Demo Challenge Zone, allowing visitors to experience XCMG equipment up close. Three machines — XE27E, XD80, and XE135E — participated in basketball, obstacle, and soccer challenges. One participant successfully completed the XE27E basketball challenge, winning a finely crafted XCMG excavator model, creating an engaging and lively atmosphere. Additionally, the XE300E was prominently displayed near the exhibition exit and restaurant entrance, drawing attention from all directions.
