BHP taps China's XCMG for mining fleet supply
Diversified miner BHP has announced a partnership with China's XCMG Mining Equipment for the delivery of mining fleet solutions across its global operations.
Under an agreement framework signed this week, BHP and XCMG will collaborate on the planning and deployment of mining equipment aligned to the miner's technical, safety and sustainability standards. This includes pathways for joint engineering engagement, localisation of support services, and alignment on emerging technology readiness.
The agreement does not include any market share commitments but will enable deeper discoveries already under way – particularly for fleet, components, and potential end-to-end solutions, BHP said in a statement.
“This partnership with XCMG reflects BHP’s approach to working closely with strategic suppliers to shape the future of mining technology. By combining our operational insight with XCMG’s innovation capability, we’re supporting the development of safer, more sustainable fleet solutions. It’s a strong step towards reducing emissions across our operations," stated BHP group procurement officer Rashpal Bhatti.
