In the world of heavy machinery and construction, the impact of our actions reaches far beyond the confines of our projects. The machines we build shape the earth, and the choices we make today, define the legacy we leave for tomorrow.
LiuGong's story is not just one of innovation or engineering excellence but of a shared responsibility — a commitment to fostering a sustainable, thriving planet for all.
Vision Rooted in Purpose
For over six decades, LiuGong has grown from a local machinery manufacturer to a global leader in construction equipment. Yet, this evolution is not just about growth, it is about impact. As stewards of the world we share, LiuGong has embraced the call to act on climate change, protect natural resources and ensure that the communities touched by its work also reap the benefits of a healthier, greener planet.
This deeper purpose came into sharp focus during the 2023 LiuGong Global Dealer Conference with the launch of the Green Alliance.
More than an initiative, the Green Alliance is a statement of collective intent. It brings together dealers, customers and public interest groups under one mission: to ensure that every machine, every innovation and every partnership is a step toward a more sustainable future.
Innovation That Honors the Earth
LiuGong's electric loaders symbolize the company's commitment to preserving our shared home. By eliminating emissions, reducing operational costs and increasing efficiency, these machines are more than tools — they are a vision of what construction can become:
- Zero Emissions: Cleaner air and healthier environments for workers and nearby communities.
- Lower Costs: Sustainability that doesn't sacrifice economic viability.
- Optimized Performance: Proof that innovation and responsibility can go hand in hand.
These advances remind us that industry progress and environmental stewardship are not opposing forces but complementary goals.
Collaboration for Shared Future
LiuGong's journey to sustainability underscores the importance of collective action. Global organizations, such as the UN Environment Programme and the Global Environment Facility, play pivotal roles in amplifying the impact of zero-emission construction equipment. These efforts reflect a shared belief that tackling global environmental challenges demands unified approaches.
By aligning with these principles, LiuGong is committed to doing its part to support collaboration between governments, organizations and companies, working toward transforming the construction industry into a powerful driver of environmental progress.
Building Hope Across Borders: LiuGong's Sustainability Journey Gains Traction
Each milestone in LiuGong's sustainability timeline tells a story of resilience, determination and hope. LiuGong's commitment to sustainability gained significant momentum in February 2024. The company secured a landmark order for two 856HE electric wheel loaders in Indonesia, marking a crucial step in promoting green technology. This achievement was swiftly followed by the delivery of a 922F-E electric excavator in India, which exceeded customer expectations and spurred additional orders.
In a groundbreaking move, Groupe Bellemare in Canada deployed the country's first electric wheel loader, the LiuGong 856H-E, for local glass recycling operations. This partnership underscored LiuGong's mission to drive environmental responsibility and reduce carbon emissions.
March witnessed significant expansions in LiuGong's electric fleet. The introduction of two DW105A-E electric mining trucks in Indonesia marked their debut in the local market, contributing to the region's green and sustainable development. Holcim, a global leader in sustainable construction, signed a contract to order 600 LiuGong machines to their fleet, including wheel loaders, excavators, and trucks and then ordered 300 more.
