XCMG, the world’s fifth largest construction equipment company, unveils the XE15R hydraulic intelligent excavator, its first fully remote-controlled excavator, signaling a new phase in XCMG’s intelligentization of its excavator series.
Without a cab, XE15R is the company’s smallest excavator at 1.35m in height and 1.08m in width. Nicknamed “Little Swan”, the machine is agile and flexible in challenging working conditions.
The newly developed XE15R features a wireless control function with a 100-meter range, and integrates mechanic, electronic and hydraulic control technology with a CAN bus interface design. Unmanned driving reduces labor intensity, particularly useful in severe operating environments, such as toxic conditions or extreme temperatures.
As an intelligent excavator, XE15R also features a self-learning function. It can save operating maneuvers and then replay them automatically on request, a breakthrough that further ensures security, agility and reliability in operation.
“Intelligentization is an inevitable choice as XCMG follows the path of new industrialization, and XE15R shows that we do what we say. Its design embodies our pursuit of efficiency and user friendliness.” said Wang Min, president of XCMG. The launching of XE15R expands XCMG’s product line, and improves its customers’ construction quality, providing them with a more human-friendly working environment and better project solutions.

Zumindest wird aber damit bewiesen - es ist wintertauglich und lässt sich dank permanentem Allradantrieb und damit optimaler Traktion bei allen Straßenverhältnissen sicher bewegen. Hätte man aber auch in den französischen Seealpen geglaubt, wo man die Fahrdynamik des Viersitzers auch auf für Cabrios typischere Strecken hätte erleben können. Schon optisch macht das Audi S3 Cabriolet eine sportliche Figur. In der Länge misst es 4,43 Meter, im Radstand 2,60 Meter, in der Breite 1,79 Meter und in der Höhe 1,39 Meter. Die Proportionen sind elegant gestreckt und ausgewogen; präzise Linien und muskulös gewölbte Flächen definieren die Flanken. Das Stoffverdeck verfügt über...
