XCMG Launches XE215EV Electric Excavator at Bauma 2025

Munich, Germany – Xuzhou Construction Machinery Group Co., Ltd., (XCMG) a construction equipment manufacturer, has launched the XE215EV, a 25-ton electric excavator, at Bauma 2025. This 25-ton crawler excavator represents a major step forward in sustainable construction equipment, offering an innovative battery-swapping solution combined with all-day performance.

The XE215EV is a powerful 400 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, delivering up to 8 hours of continuous operation under typical working conditions. This makes the machine well-suited for urban infrastructure projects, mining sites, material handling, and other heavy-duty applications where noise reduction and emissions control are critical.

In addition to traditional fast-charging, which allows the battery to charge from zero to full in just 1.5 to 2 hours using a high-capacity DC charger, the XE215EV stands out with its battery swapping capability—a feature made possible through collaboration with BYD. This technology allows operators to quickly replace depleted batteries on-site, significantly minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity.

The XE215EV combines XCMG’s proven durability with electric efficiency. With IP67-rated components, it delivers reliable performance in tough conditions. This 25-ton excavator offers powerful hydraulics, stable operation, and a quiet, zero-emission powertrain, ideal for eco-sensitive sites.

With the launch of the XE215EV, XCMG reinforces its commitment to green innovation, meeting global demand for low-emission, cost-effective construction equipment. Featuring battery swap tech and fast charging, the excavator offers both environmental and economic benefits. Unveiled ahead of Bauma 2025, it highlights XCMG’s strong position in the growing electric machinery market.
