# E-quipment highlight: 25-ton LiuGong 870HE electric wheel loader

Chinese equipment brand LiuGong is putting its 25-ton 870HE electric wheel loader to work at a STRABAG quarry in Slovenia, proving that electric vehicles can get the job done without the sky-high fuel costs associated with fossil fuels.

Fuel consumption at STRABAG’s Slovenian quarry operations is both the largest contributor to the company’s carbon footprint _and_ one of its most significant operating costs. Given the company’s dual goals of achieving carbon neutrality target by 2040 and staying profitable long enough to make it to 2040, a move to 100% electrified equipment is seriously being considered.

To that end, STRABAG is testing one of LiuGong’s big electric loaders all summer to evaluate how the zero-emission solution can be successfully integrated into its existing operations.

“Decarbonising our construction machinery is a key step in reducing our emissions,” explains Lutz Müller, Technical Manager Aggregates and Concrete, STRABAG. “The electric wheel loader from LiuGong shows how low-emission operation and high performance can be successfully combined at our quarries.”
