Dubai (PlantAndEquipment.com) - XCMG Group and Australia-based Fortescue have signed a strategic cooperation agreement in Beijing for the supply of electric mining equipment. Under the deal, XCMG will deliver between 150 and 200 units of 240-ton pure electric mining trucks to Fortescue from 2028 to 2030.
