In April 2025, the global top event in the construction machinery industry, bauma Germany, grandly opened in Munich. As a pioneer of globalization for Chinese construction machinery brands, MAXPOWER showcased its heavyweight new product, the ME26.9 multi-scenario hydraulic excavator, at the exhibition. With its innovative technology and scenario-based solutions, it attracted global customers and became one of the most eye-catching highlights at the exhibition site
ME26.9: Redefining "Small Excavator with Great Power"
The ME26.9 exhibited this time is a star model specially developed by MAXPOWER for the European and emerging markets. The whole machine weighs 2.78 tons, with a bucket capacity of 0.08 cubic meters. It is equipped with a customized Yanmar engine (with a power of 15.2kW) and perfectly complies with the EU Stage V emission standard. Its core highlights have sparked heated discussions in the industry:
The King of Flexibility: With a short-tail design and stepless speed control, it has a turning radius of only 1.2 meters, making it highly capable of operating in narrow courtyards and grape plantations.
The Pioneer of Energy Conservation: The intelligent electronic control system enables the fuel consumption per shift to be as low as 5.8L (22% more fuel-efficient than competing products). German customers' actual measurement shows that "it can save enough fuel costs for a self-driving tour in Europe in a year."
The All-rounder: It is equipped with a standard hydraulic quick-change system, which can switch between 15 types of attachments such as buckets, hydraulic shears, and auger drills within 10 seconds, covering the full range of needs in scenarios such as municipal pipe networks, agricultural planting, and landscape gardening.
At the exhibition site, the ME26.9 completed high-difficulty tasks such as precise trenching and seedling transplantation in the simulated grape plantation scenario. Its sensitive performance amazed a French horticultural equipment supplier, who said, "This machine is equivalent to three skilled workers!"
Scenario-based Display: Making Technology "Visible and Tangible"
MAXPOWER has broken through the traditional exhibition booth model and built three real-life experience areas: "Urban Micro Infrastructure", "Smart Agriculture", and "Green Energy":
Municipal Maintenance: The ME26.9 completed pipeline laying and crushing operations in the simulated narrow street, and its millimeter-level precision attracted the attention of on-site engineers.
Agricultural Innovation: The model equipped with an auger attachment demonstrated the drilling of grape trellis posts, and its drilling efficiency amazed all the audience present.
"The ME26.9 is not a cold machine but a partner for solving problems," said the Chairman of MAXPOWER at the press conference. "We are developing methods for green new energy modification, and we expect to launch a zero-emission version in 2026."
Global Strategy Upgrade: The Establishment of a European Technical Service Center
Taking the opportunity of the bauma exhibition, MAXPOWER announced that it will successively establish technical service centers in Europe, providing three core services:
Rapid Response: Spare parts can be delivered directly within 24 hours in Germany, France, Italy, and Spain.
Local Adaptation: Customize attachments and hydraulic solutions according to European working conditions.
Skill Training: Collaborate with industrial associations in various countries to conduct operator certification courses.
Looking Ahead: Starting from bauma and Deepening Global Expansion
At this bauma exhibition, the MAXPOWER booth received over 1,000 professional visitors and secured a large sum of intended orders. MAXPOWER's participation in the exhibition not only demonstrates the technical strength of Chinese intelligent manufacturing but also marks MAXPOWER's comprehensive breakthrough in the high-end European market. As a customer who reached a cooperation at the exhibition commented, "This brand from China is rewriting the rules of the game in European micro infrastructure."
