- LiuGong is rolling out its 924FE electric excavator — a 27-tonne (~30-ton) machine — to North American customers after the model's global debut last May
- The 924FE runs on a 528 kWh LFP battery powering a 115 kW (~155 hp) Weiteli electric motor, delivering up to 10 hours of continuous runtime per charge
- LiuGong says the battery recharges from 15% to 100% in under 3 hours, and a battery-swap version is also listed on its global sites; the 528 kWh pack is shared across other LiuGong heavy equipment assets
- The 924FE's cab includes a 10-inch touchscreen, 360-degree cameras, heated air-suspension seat, reverse fan for easier cleaning, and LED work lights with delayed shutoff
- LiuGong claims its electric construction equipment reduces operating costs by 40% to 50% versus diesel equivalents, citing lower fuel, maintenance, and parts expenses
- Warranty coverage runs 5 years or 10,000 hours on the battery and electric motor, with a 3-year or 4,000-hour complete-machine warranty
Why it matters: At 30 tons with a 10-hour runtime and 40-50% claimed operating-cost savings, the 924FE targets a size class where electric excavator options remain scarce in North America. The 5-year/10,000-hour battery warranty lowers adoption risk for fleets weighing diesel against electric on heavy earthmoving jobs.
