LiuGong arrived at Bauma 2025 with something to prove — and delivered. The global construction equipment manufacturer used the world's biggest trade show to debut an expanded battery-electric vehicle (BEV) portfolio alongside the all-new T-Series Wheel Loaders, reinforcing its position at the forefront of electrification and smart technology in the heavy equipment space.
As New Zealand's exclusive LiuGong distributor, D&H Equipment is proud to represent a manufacturer that isn't following industry trends — it's setting them. Here's what stood out at Bauma and what it means for operators here in New Zealand.
LiuGong has invested over $100 million in BEV research and development over the past eight years, and the results are showing. The electric range now spans nine product categories, from compact wheel loaders through to heavy excavators. Every electric machine in the lineup comes backed by a five-year, 10,000-hour warranty covering batteries, motors, and controllers — a level of confidence few manufacturers are willing to match.
For New Zealand operators looking to reduce emissions and operating costs, this expanding electric range means more options suited to local applications, from construction sites to agricultural operations and waste management.
The T-Series Wheel Loaders made their global debut at Bauma, designed for demanding applications in mining, demolition, and waste recycling. These machines represent the latest in LiuGong's application-driven engineering approach — built not just for general use, but for the toughest working conditions operators face day to day.
LiuGong's growth strategy extends well beyond the machines themselves. The company has been expanding regional hubs, local R&D centres, and dealer networks to ensure customers everywhere receive strong aftermarket support. Their LiuGong CARE initiative focuses on fast parts availability, full lifecycle support, and localised service — values that align closely with how D&H Equipment operates here in New Zealand.
LiuGong Chairman Zeng Guang'an summed up the company's direction by noting that their focus is on providing sustainable equipment solutions as a premium, full-line manufacturer, not just following trends but driving them.
As LiuGong continues to invest in both electric and diesel product lines, D&H Equipment customers benefit from access to an increasingly diverse and technologically advanced range of machinery. Whether you're looking at electric options to meet sustainability targets or need a proven diesel workhorse for tough terrain, the LiuGong lineup — available exclusively through D&H Equipment — has a solution.
