FORGING THE FUTURE OF DECARBONISED MINING

XCMG AND FORCE HAVE PARTNERED TO POWER THE HEAVY MOBILE EQUIPMENT TRANSFORMATION.

- 

Australia's mining sector is no stranger to transformation, but the industry now stands on the cusp of its most significant evolution yet - decarbonisation.

Leading this charge is Fortescue, with its impressive goal to eliminate diesel usage and transition its operations to zero-emissions technology.

At the heart of this vision lies a groundbreaking collaboration between global original equipment manufacturer (OEM) XCMG and local service support powerhouse Force - part of the Emeco Group.

XCMG, one of the world's largest construction and mining equipment manufacturers, has been selected as a key provider of electric mining equipment for Fortescue's heavy mobile equipment (HME) decarbonisation project.

To deliver this, XCMG is partnering with Emeco's Force, Australian leaders in managing heavy earthmoving equipment maintenance, which will provide comprehensive aftersales service, on-site support, and maintenance solutions for this next-generation fleet.

Supporting innovation with proven capability

For XCMG's Australian customers, transitioning from diesel to battery-electric power is a complex journey that goes beyond simply delivering new machines - it requires a full ecosystem of operational support, technical expertise, and change management.

XCMG is fully committed to supporting its customers and ensuring these machines perform reliably in the demanding, high-production environments of the Pilbara region in Western Australia.

Success demands deep industry expertise, quick response times, and dependable local support - and that's exactly where Force plays a vital role.

“We are proud to be working with Fortescue on their decarbonisation HME project and are equally proud to be supported by Force as our service and support partner, for the project,” XCMG Australia business development manager Jason Keays said.
