Xuzhou, China – December 17, 2025 – XCMG, a global leader in construction machinery, has officially launched the XE215GA ECO hydraulic excavator, a game-changer designed to address the core pain points of users in earthmoving operations. Breaking the trade-off stereotype in the industry, this new model integrates three major advantages: high-end configuration, excellent fuel efficiency, and urea-free operation, delivering an all-in-one solution that combines power, economy, and convenience .
In the competitive construction machinery market, users have long been caught in a dilemma: pursuing high performance often means sacrificing fuel economy, while ensuring environmental compliance may bring cumbersome maintenance such as urea refilling. The XE215GA ECO is tailor-made to solve this “either-or” problem, realizing the “adult’s choice” of having it all through innovative technology and optimized design.
High-end configuration lays a solid foundation for powerful performance. The XE215GA ECO is equipped with the high-performance Cummins F4.5TT four-cylinder twin-turbo engine, which delivers a rated power of 129kW and a maximum torque of 745 N.m/rpm, ensuring strong and sustained power output . It is perfectly matched with the classic Kawasaki hydraulic pump valve system, enabling smooth operation and coordinated composite actions. Whether it is hard soil excavation or precision leveling, the excavator can achieve precise force control, easily coping with various complex earthmoving tasks . In addition, the machine adopts a reinforced structural design verified by finite element analysis, with thickened arm and bucket cylinders that increase digging force by approximately 9% . The 4000-hour long-life hydraulic oil and nano-level filter element effectively protect the hydraulic system, significantly enhancing the equipment’s durability and reliability .
Fuel efficiency is a core highlight that directly boosts users’ profitability. The XE215GA ECO adopts XCMG’s customized power-fuel consumption curve, which creates a wide low-fuel-consumption operation area, keeping the engine running stably in the high-efficiency economic range . Equipped with XCMG’s independently developed PIC feedforward intelligent control technology, the excavator achieves advanced engine response, and the multi-level intelligent idle speed function reduces ineffective energy consumption . Actual operation data shows that this model can reduce fuel consumption per bucket by about 7%, while the electronically controlled main pump provides oil on demand, increasing the hourly earthwork volume by 5% . For long-term construction projects, these improvements will translate into substantial cost savings for users.
The urea-free design brings unprecedented convenience and cost reduction. The XE215GA ECO adopts the advanced EGR + DOC + DPF after-treatment technology, which has efficient pollutant treatment and conversion capabilities, fully meeting the National IV emission standards without the need for urea addition . This not only eliminates the troubles of urea procurement, refilling, and system maintenance for users but also saves thousands of yuan in annual usage costs . Meanwhile, the simplified after-treatment system reduces potential faults, effectively improving equipment attendance and operational reliability, allowing users to focus more on construction progress rather than daily maintenance .
The user-centric design is also reflected in the comfortable operating experience. The XE215GA ECO is equipped with a new-generation comfortable cab with a high-energy-absorbing frame structure and automotive-grade interior . The 8-inch high-resolution touchscreen instrument and one-button start function make operation more convenient and fashionable . The cab adopts double-glazed windows and liquid-sealed anti-vibration rubber, reducing indoor noise significantly and effectively alleviating operator fatigue during long hours of work . In addition, the machine supports quick switching of multiple attachments such as breakers, hydraulic shears, and lotus claws within 1 minute through a quick-change connector, realizing multi-functional applications in farmland water conservancy, river dredging, municipal construction, and other scenarios .
“The launch of the XE215GA ECO is a concrete practice of XCMG’s user-centric innovation concept,” said a senior product manager of XCMG Excavator. “We deeply insight into the actual needs of users in construction operations, and through technological breakthroughs and integrated design, we have created a product that balances performance, economy, and convenience. This model will not only help users improve construction efficiency and reduce operating costs but also inject new impetus into the green and intelligent transformation of the construction machinery industry.”
As a new flagship product of XCMG in the medium-sized excavator segment, the XE215GA ECO has already attracted widespread attention from the industry and users since its launch. With its all-round advantages, it is expected to become a preferred choice for earthmoving operations, helping users start a new chapter of efficient and economical construction.
