Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology recently showcased its latest advancements in mining technology at the 2026 Global Mining Machinery Expo.
The event was held at the Earthmoving Machinery Park within Zoomlion Smart City in China and served as a launchpad for the company’s newest equipment and operations solutions.
The exhibition, which was attended by more than 500 customers and industry partners from nearly 30 countries and regions, focused heavily on three primary areas: heavy-load machinery for open-pit mines, electric and hybrid equipment for green mining operations, and autonomous haulage and mine management systems.
Zoomlion’s equipment display featured three flagship models: the ZWL360 hybrid wheeled loader, the ZTE450HEV hybrid electric-drive mining truck, and the ZE1650G dual-engine mining excavator.
In total, the Chinese company exhibited more than 40 new-energy mining products and components, including the ZT160HEV hybrid and ZT165EV pure-electric mining trucks.
Zoomlion said its electric and hybrid machines are currently deployed across dozens of mines globally, with individual units reportedly logging over 8,000 hours of service.
The manufacturer also used the event to highlight its proprietary green technologies, including the ZM-i Adaptive Super Energy Management System.
The system runs a diesel engine and an electric motor simultaneously under heavy load rather than alternating between the two sources.
Autonomous haulage served as another core focus of the display.
The company has deployed nearly 100 driverless mining trucks across multiple sites in China. These vehicles are designed for autonomous navigation, obstacle avoidance and coordinated work alongside excavators.
To showcase these capabilities, Zoomlion conducted a live demonstration at the expo featuring the ZE985G remote-controlled excavator, the ZT118EV pure-electric mining truck, and the ZT160HEV hybrid mining truck, performing a coordinated dig-load-haul sequence via remote operation and autonomous haulage systems.
Yuan Ye, vice president of Zoomlion, stated that the company intends to maintain its investments in its technical foundations to drive innovation and further its partnerships with global customers.
