"Chinese construction machinery manufacturer XCMG says the deal announced last
week to supply Australian metals giant Fortescue between 150 and 200 giant
battery-electric mining haul trucks is China’s largest-ever export order for
green mining machinery.

XCMG chairman Yang Dongsheng met with Fortescue executive chairman Andrew
Forrest last week to sign the equipment order for the new mining equipment,
which was announced by Fortescue in New York at the United Nations General
Assembly.

XCMG will supply Fortescue with between 150 and 200 units of the 240-tonne
battery-electric haul trucks, with Liebherr to supply the rest of the up to 400
needed by Fortescue to eliminate diesel use at its iron ore mines in the
Pilbara."
