Its emission limits for PM and NOx are 10 times less than those in China, and it holds higher requirements for versatility: 80% of the equipment for machinery have to be “all-in-one”…
“To better suit the local market, our engineers worked on the front line. It took them 2 years to finally build a premium model that is tailored to local applications. It is a most advanced product facing toward North American market,” introduced Dong Yuzhong, Product Designer of XCMG Excavator Engineering Center.
The high-end products of XCMG for North American market apply high-pressure common-rail EFI Engine that meets the emission requirement of North America’s EPA Tier4F, and thus are able to have the best control of fuel injection. DPF+EGR system is added to effectively reduce the emissions of PM and NOx; meanwhile, the multifunctional machinery control system is equipped to realize the convenient switch of multiple machines and tools, thus perfectly satisfying the market requirement for energy-efficient, environmental-friendly and all-in-one machines.
