On September 26, during the United Nations General Assembly, Fortescue formally announced in New York that it had signed a supply contract with XCMG for new energy mining equipment.
Setting a New Value Benchmark
The collaboration is not a debut for the two companies. At bauma CHINA in Shanghai last November, XCMG and Fortescue signed an order, which at the time set the record for the largest export contract of Chinese electric mining machinery.
The conclusion of this strategic agreement is more than a step up in scale. It also signals strong recognition and affirmation from a global mining giant for XCMG’s full value-chain innovation strengths in the field of green mining. The partnership now forms an essential component of Fortescue’s global green strategy in action. With world-class mining equipment and technologies, XCMG is providing Fortescue with solid support as it accelerates the commercialization of industrial decarbonization. Together, both parties will advance high-quality, sustainable development across the global mining sector.
Jointly Embracing a Zero-Carbon Future
From the world’s first best-practice model for smart mining at China Huaneng’s Yimin Mine to XCMG Mining Machinery serving mining sites across Africa, Europe, and the Americas; from XCMG winning the “Decarbonising Mining Awards 2025” to being named among the world’s top four manufacturers of open-pit mining equipment, XCMG has long embraced the mission of “Empower Solid Future” to help customers unlock greater value. Beyond forging a deep partnership, XCMG and Fortescue will jointly explore green, low-carbon technologies and the development of the new energy sector in a concerted response to the global climate challenge. We believe that with the combined efforts of both parties, this partnership will deliver best-in-class solutions for the green transition in the global mining sector and set a benchmark for building a greener planet and a better home for humanity.
Together, we embark on a new journey toward zero-carbon mining,
planting the seeds of green growth and hope in fertile ground,
and lighting the path ahead with partnership and shared success!
