From May 16th to 18th, Australia's largest construction machinery expo—The National Diesel Dirt and Turf Expo (DDT)—opened grandly in Sydney. Shandong Heavy Industry Group's subsidiaries Weichai Power, Sinotruk, and Shantui Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. presented under the theme 'WE ARE ONE,' leveraging their collaborative advantages to form a premium lineup. As leading Chinese enterprises, they focused on the industry's trends toward premium, intelligent, and green development, showcasing advanced products and core components covering agriculture and forestry, mining, road construction, municipal engineering, and new energy applications. This demonstrated the exquisite craftsmanship and robust strength of Chinese construction machinery products, generating strong industry attention and winning widespread recognition from international customers.
Smart Green Power Solutions and Comprehensive Product Matrix: Shantui Makes Construction Simpler
On the opening day, the Shantui exhibition area was bustling with activity, as multiple flagship products attracted frequent customer attention. Targeting the Australian market characteristics and the harsh, complex mining construction environment, the SE335LC excavator features industry-leading technology and performance, making it an 'all-terrain earthwork warrior' with high efficiency, advanced configuration, and low fuel consumption. The L76-C5 loader, equipped with a Weichai WP10H engine and DANA heavy-duty mining transmission, delivers excellent fuel consumption performance, comes standard with a 5-cubic-meter sand and stone bucket, and provides over 220KN traction force, easily adapting to various medium and heavy-duty conditions in metal mines, ports, and coal operations. The exhibition also featured core components and mining chassis parts, further strengthening Shantui's technological advantages in the mining sector.
To meet the Australian municipal construction sector's demands for precision, efficiency, and comfort, the DH16-B3 crawler bulldozer is equipped with unique 3D auxiliary automatic leveling technology, significantly improving construction precision and efficiency while ensuring flatness and stability during operations. It also features an integrated positive pressure and ROPS&FOPS cab, further ensuring equipment safety and comfort.
In the road construction field, Shantui introduced a combination solution of the SG21-B6 intelligent motor grader and SR12-B6 road roller, with 'intelligent collaboration + scenario-focused development' as the core, injecting innovative power into the road construction sector. From highway subgrade construction to mine road leveling, Shantui products perfectly adapt to various complex operational requirements.
As a representative enterprise in China's construction machinery industry, Shantui remains firmly committed to using new productive forces as the engine to drive green innovation. The new energy loader LE20-X5 unveiled at this exhibition became the focal point, not only meeting Australia's increasingly strict environmental regulations but also being widely applied in various scenarios replacing manual operations, suitable for warehousing, ranching, municipal services, and small-scale infrastructure, achieving efficient cargo handling and orderly stacking. Its comprehensive energy consumption is as low as 10kWh, with operating costs reduced by over 70% compared to traditional fuel models. To maximize equipment operational efficiency and endurance, the LE20-X5 offers up to 102kWh battery options, with comprehensive endurance ranging from 4 to 8 hours and the capability to fully charge in 1 hour, supporting 80kW single-gun charging to ensure efficient operations without interruption.
Build Together, Share Together, Win Together, Integrated Solutions to Drive Value Enhancement for Global Clients
Leveraging powerful industrial chain resource advantages, 'Weichai Power + Sinotruk' under Shandong Heavy Industry Group, together with Shantui Construction Machinery Co., Ltd., capitalize on their collaborative chain advantages to provide integrated combination solutions for construction operations and other application scenarios, including powerful generation power and logistics transportation solutions, committed to providing one-stop services for global customers and creating greater value.
? Weichai M-Series Large-Bore Products Leading Global High-End Power
At this exhibition, Weichai showcased the Baudouin M-series 6M33 pump diesel engine and 20M33 large-bore generator set.
At the exhibition site, the 20M33 large-bore generator set can be called a 'high-value practical powerhouse,' featuring a high-strength alloy steel crankshaft with high overall engine strength; Weichai's proprietary ECU with optimized algorithms and strong single-step loading capability; standard large-flow fuel filter with extended oil change intervals, reducing operating costs.
The 6M33 pump diesel engine equally attracted numerous customer observations. Key components have undergone rigorous and comprehensive testing and market validation, featuring high strength and high reliability, capable of operating in 50℃ high-temperature environments, having operated for over 12,000 hours at a mine in Indonesia; overall system optimization achieves minimum fuel consumption rate of 187.4g/kWh.
With advantages of ultra-low fuel consumption, excellent transient surge performance, and ultra-low noise reduction capabilities, Weichai M-series large-bore products have been widely applied in data centers, petroleum, medical, plateau, railway, field rescue, and agriculture and animal husbandry sectors, with continuously improving competitiveness in the global high-end power market.
? Sinotruk High-End Heavy Trucks Stand Out and Attract Attention
Sinotruk's Sitrak G7 6x4 dump truck became the exhibition's new favorite. The vehicle's power system uses Sinotruk's MAN technology-based high-torque, low-fuel-consumption MC13 series engine, equipped with a Bosch high-pressure common rail injection system, providing sufficient and stable power for the vehicle under any operating conditions. Euro 5 emission standards with NOx aftertreatment controller and urea injection SCR catalytic converter meet high-end market requirements for high efficiency and low emissions.
Additionally, Sinotruk collaborated with dealers to display 7 main Australian market models, customized for the Australian market, creating a new generation of products that meet local stringent standards and diverse needs while combining high efficiency and high reliability. The second-generation SITRAK intelligent tractor trucks C7H and C9H are equipped with 540-horsepower MAN-technology engines and Weichai 15H 660-horsepower engines respectively, both developed and calibrated according to Australian load requirements and driving habits, covering local main operating conditions. The SITRAK G7 MAN-technology 540-horsepower 8x4 dump truck, HOWO T5G 330-horsepower 8x4 dump truck, and HOWO T5G 330-horsepower 8x4 hook-arm garbage truck meet medium and heavy-duty dumping and mainstream special vehicle market demands. The HOWO T5G 330-horsepower 8x4 flatbed cargo truck and HOWO T5G 330-horsepower 8x4 mixer truck are both main Australian market configurations.
In 2024, Sinotruk's heavy truck sales in Australia increased by 83%. In the global high-end market, competing head-to-head with European and American high-end heavy truck giants, Sinotruk has initiated the momentum to leverage the high-end market through excellent product strength, technical support, and increasingly outstanding brand reputation and marketing services.
