30 Second Takeaway
Mammoet has taken delivery of a 60-tonne XCMG XCA60-EV hybrid all terrain crane, expanding its fleet with lower-emission lifting technology. Designed for the European market, the three-axle crane combines diesel and electric power to reduce fuel consumption while maintaining full lifting performance.
Expanding Sustainable Lifting Capability
Dutch heavy lift and transport specialist Mammoet has taken delivery of a 60-tonne XCMG XCA60-EV hybrid all terrain crane, further strengthening its focus on sustainable lifting solutions.
The three-axle XCA60-EV was first unveiled at Bauma 2022 in pre-production form, with the first production unit delivered to Netherlands-based Wagenborg in February 2024. The latest delivery marks the crane’s entry into Mammoet’s European fleet.
Designed for the European Market
Hybrid Powertrain and Performance
The XCA60-EV has been developed specifically for European operating requirements. It features a 48-metre, six-section pinned main boom, topped by a 9.2 to 16-metre bi-fold, offsetable swingaway extension, delivering a maximum tip height of approximately 66 metres.
The hybrid powertrain combines a Mercedes diesel engine with a 170 kW electric motor. According to XCMG, the configuration typically reduces fuel consumption by around 40 percent compared to the equivalent diesel-only model, supporting lower emissions and improved efficiency on site.
