On May 16, The National Diesel Dirt and Turf Expo (DDT), Australia's largest construction machinery expo, kicked off in Sydney. Shantui, alongside Weichai Power and Sinotruk, showcased advanced products core components under thetheme "WE ARE ONE," covering agriculture, forestry, mining, road construction, municipal engineering, and new energy applications.
Since entering the Australian market in 1986, Shantui has continuously optimized its product portfolio to meet local needs. After nearly four decades of deep cultivation, Australia has become a key strategic market for Shantui overseas. The exhibition highlighted the industry's trends toward high-end, intelligent, and green development, showcasing the strength and wisdom from the East and winning wide recognition from international customers.
At the opening-day product launch, professional lecturers highlighted Shantui's technical advantages and real-world applications in Australian worksites, showcasing cutting-edge technology and green concepts. Attendees engaged deeply with the intelligent manufacturing displays, leading to on-site orders for star products like the SE335LC excavator and LE20-X5 loader.
The strong sales performance stems from Shantui's robust product lineup. Designed for Australia's mining environments, the SE335LC excavator excels as an "all-around earthmoving warrior" with high efficiency, premium specifications, and low fuel consumption. The L76-C5 loader, equipped with a Weichai WP10H engine and DANA heavy-duty transmission, features a 5m³ bucket and 220KN traction force, ideal for medium-to-heavy duties in mines, ports, and coal fields. Displayed mining undercarriage parts further solidified Shantui's technical edge in mining. For municipal construction, the DH16-B3 bulldozer's 3D automatic leveling technology enhances precision and efficiency, while its ROPS&FOPS-certified cab ensures safety and comfort. In road construction, the SG21-B6 intelligent grader and SR12-B6 roller deliver an "intelligent collaboration + scenario-specific" solution for diverse projects, from highway subgrades to mine roads.
As a leader in green innovation, Shantui's LE20-X5 electric loader stole the show. Compliant with Australia's strict environmental regulations, it replaces manual labor in warehouses, pastures, and municipal projects, achieving efficient material handling at just 10kWh energy consumption—70% lower than traditional models. With a 102kWh battery option (4–8 hours runtime) and 1-hour fast charging (80kW), it ensures uninterrupted productivity.
Putting customers at the center and emphasizing interactivity were major highlights of Shantui's exhibition area this time. The booth set up various interactive areas and forms, including a photo booth stage area, a sandtable game area, and a doll-interaction area, attracting a large number of visitors to actively participate. In addition, multiple test drive experiences and interactive games were held, with staff explanations, allowing customers to personally experience the operational convenience of Shantui's products. Children visiting the exhibition also actively participated, and the exhibition area was filled with vitality and joy.
Shared vision conquers boundaries; collective strength drives progress. Shantui remains committed to its customer-centric approach, actively advancing intelligent and green industry development to deliver efficient, eco-conscious smart construction solutions worldwide. Through relentless innovation and market refinement, this exhibition not only demonstrated Shantui's capabilities and potential in Australia, but also underscored its collaborative journey with partners toward a greener, smarter, and more sustainable future. Moving forward, Shantui will continue partnering with global allies to forge broader horizons and propel the industry to new heights.
