Lots of advanced Chinese construction equipment were on display at the five-day show, named CONEXPO-CON/AGG, which covers hydraulic excavators, wheel loaders, bulldozers and rollers. These premium products have attracted attention from more than 2,300 exhibitors worldwide as well as international dealers.
As a technology leader in Chinese construction machinery industry, XCMG has launched a new concept product at the show - pure electric zero-emission excavator XE35U-E.
"We have 24 fine products and complete construction solutions in six categories on display at this exhibition, including hoisting machinery, excavators, loaders, road machinery, piling machinery and aerial work platform. It is the most complete product lineup that XCMG presents to North American customers," Xie Bin, general manager of American Region of XCMG, told Xinhua.

Sany has brought a string of new machines and models to the show, such as excavators, wheel loader, rollers and motor graders.
