This article has been supplied.
LiuGong, a global leader in construction equipment and a fast-growing force in the mining sector, took center stage at BAUMA 2025, challenging industry perceptions and showcasing its leadership in battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) and smart technology integration. With an expanded BEV portfolio and the global debut of its all-new T-Series Wheel Loaders, LiuGong reinforces its commitment to innovation, sustainability, and application-driven performance in tough segments such as mining, demolition, and waste recycling.
This bold showcase reflects the company’s broader three-dimensional growth strategy—globalization, Full Solutions, and Intelligence —and underscores LiuGong’s position as a pioneer in electrification and a driving force behind the next generation of sustainable construction equipment. At the same time, LiuGong remains committed to advancing its diesel product lines, ensuring customers have reliable, high-performance solutions across every application.
LiuGong’s Industry Lead
Summing up the event, LiuGong Chairman Zeng Guang’an remarked: “BAUMA is where the future of construction equipment takes shape. At LiuGong, we’re not just following trends but driving them. As a premium, full-line manufacturer, we are leading change with sustainable equipment solutions.
Chairman Zeng emphasised LiuGong’s three-dimensional growth strategy, built on the pillars of Globalization, Full Solutions, and Intelligence.
LiuGong’s globalisation strategy continues to drive success. In 2025, new regional hubs will open in Italy, France, and Germany, further strengthening customer support, dealer development, and product management. By embedding localised R&D teams within these regions, LiuGong tailors its solutions to meet specific market needs, accelerating adoption and enhancing customer satisfaction globally.
“Our growth has enabled us to increase R&D investment from 3.5% to over 4% over the past three years,” said Chairman Zeng, “reinforcing our commitment to global innovation and customer-driven development.”
LiuGong is focused on delivering full solutions that go beyond the machine. By listening to customers and understanding their business needs, the company is transforming the customer experience with tailored aftermarket support, financing, and leasing options. Through its enhanced LiuGong CARE initiative, the company ensures fast parts availability, full lifecycle support, and localised service to maximise uptime and profitability.
Reinforcing this customer-first approach, Chairman Zeng stated:
“We listen to our customers and understand they need more than just machines. That’s why we’re transforming LiuGong—investing in the customer experience to drive efficiency, profitability, and long-term success.”
LiuGong is also accelerating its digital transformation, applying automation, connectivity, and intelligent solutions across industries. The iLink fleet management system provides real-time insights that boost productivity and reduce downtime, while smart manufacturing, like LiuGong’s Intelligent Excavator Factory, has cut production times by 30% and lowered costs.
In parallel, LiuGong is embedding Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles across all global operations.
“We understand the responsibility that comes with leadership, and we are fully committed to building an ESG throughout our business and operations,” Zeng added.
At BAUMA 2025, LiuGong demonstrated its strategy in action—through tangible investment, meaningful innovation, and a clear commitment to leading change in sustainable construction equipment solutions.
Europe: A Key Growth Market
LiuGong’s rapid rise has been strongly supported by its growth in Europe—a region central to both its evolution and future strategy. This progress is the result of targeted investments in technology, regional expertise, and customer-driven product development through real-world testing.
Howard Dale, President of LiuGong Europe, noted:
“LiuGong has grown quickly in Europe. We’re now leading the shift to sustainable solutions with our BEV machines and setting new global benchmarks with the T-Series wheel loaders. LiuGong is recognized as a premium brand that delivers top-tier products and a customer experience that competes with the best. Our strength in demanding sectors like aggregates, mining, demolition, and recycling reflects our commitment to practical innovation and our 'challenger' mindset.”
LiuGong is expanding its dealer network and strengthening strategic partnerships with key global and European customers in rental, aggregates, and mining. These collaborations enable LiuGong to work closely with its local teams, delivering tailored solutions that meet the specific needs of each sector. At BAUMA 2025, this momentum was reflected in several key agreements, including equipment sales to Rental Group in Norway, a renewed agreement with Hoffmann in Berlin, a bolstering of our dealer network in the Northern Germany with the appointments of SI Consulting GmbH (Northwestern Region) and Bauma Vermiet- und Handels GmbH (North region). Additionally, LiuGong announced a collaboration with Colas (France). Together, these partnerships underscore LiuGong’s commitment to customer-driven growth and long-term investment in the European market.
With crowds of visitors on LiuGong’s stand, the level of interest far exceeded expectations, reinforcing LiuGong’s growing reputation in Europe. From long-standing customers to those discovering the brand for the first time, BAUMA 2025 provided the perfect platform to engage, challenge perceptions, and showcase LiuGong’s industry-leading solutions first-hand.
Reflecting on the event’s success, Dale stated, “It has been fantastic to meet so many people at BAUMA, to have real conversations, and to challenge people’s perceptions of LiuGong’s machines and solutions. Seeing firsthand how our products and total solutions resonate with operators and business owners has been incredibly rewarding.” He concluded, “BAUMA 2025 has been a defining moment for LiuGong, showcasing our leadership in total solutions and customer-driven innovation. We’ve listened, we’ve acted, and, most importantly, we’ve delivered – setting new standards in the industry. If I can sum things up with one sentiment, it’s that our commitment to Europe has never been stronger. With an expanding product range and dedicated support, LiuGong is truly shaping the future of construction equipment.
