Mammoet Takes Delivery of XCMG XCA60-EV Hybrid All Terrain Crane

Updated: Jan 19

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.


Manufacturer and Operator Perspectives


Supporting Lower-Emission Lifting


Zhen Li, Chairman of XCMG Europe, said the delivery represents a broader step toward sustainable lifting.

“This delivery is more than just a product handover – it's a step forward to redefine the possibilities of sustainable lifting. We are proud to support Mammoet's efforts to reduce environmental impact, and we look forward to seeing the XCA60-EV contribute to a cleaner and more efficient future.”

Peter van Oostrom, Global Assets Director at Mammoet, highlighted the crane’s role within the company’s wider sustainability strategy.

“This is another important step in our effort to offer sustainable heavy duty work in the Dutch market and beyond. We look forward to it delivering real results to our customers that help reduce the CO₂ emissions of projects while increasing their safety.”
