Against the backdrop of global decarbonization and the construction industry's urgent transition to sustainable operations, SANY Heavy Industry, one of the world's leading manufacturers of construction machinery, made a landmark debut at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026, North America's premier construction exhibition, held at the Las Vegas Convention Center from March 10 to 14, 2026. Under the theme "Building a Greener Future: Electric Construction Solutions for Net-Zero Jobsites," the company unveiled its most comprehensive lineup of zero-emission construction machinery and technologies, underscoring its leadership in the global shift to low-carbon heavy equipment.
SANY's 4,000-square-meter booth at CONEXPO 2026 featured 25 cutting-edge machines, including 10 new electric models specifically engineered for large-scale construction operations in North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia. Key highlights included:
SANY SY215E Electric Excavator: A 21.5-tonne capacity model powered by a 350kWh LFP battery pack, delivering up to 8 hours of continuous operation and a 1.5-hour fast-charging capability. Designed for urban construction and infrastructure projects, it features a regenerative braking system that recovers up to 20% of kinetic energy, reducing energy consumption and operational costs. Equipped with intelligent load-sensing hydraulics, it offers a 15% increase in energy efficiency compared to diesel equivalents.
SANY SW950E Electric Wheel Loader: A compact 9.5-tonne loader with a 280kWh solid-state battery, offering a 25% increase in energy efficiency compared to diesel models. Designed for material handling in ports and logistics hubs, it features autonomous loading capabilities and a zero-tailpipe emission design, enhancing safety and productivity in enclosed environments.
SANY iSite Edge: An advanced telematics platform that integrates real-time battery health monitoring, energy consumption analytics, and predictive maintenance for electric construction fleets. The platform enables operators to optimize charging schedules, monitor fleet performance, and reduce downtime, supporting seamless integration into smart construction ecosystems.
"Today marks a pivotal moment for SANY and the global construction industry," said Xiang Wenbo, CEO of SANY Heavy Industry. "By launching our next-generation electric lineup at CONEXPO, we are reaffirming our commitment to delivering innovative, sustainable solutions that empower our customers to achieve net-zero operations. Our electric machines are not just about reducing emissions—they are about redefining productivity, safety, and profitability for the jobsites of tomorrow."
SANY's electric construction lineup is fully compliant with EU Stage V and EPA Tier 4 Final emissions standards, with models available for immediate order in North America and Europe. The company plans to expand its electric product portfolio to include over 30 models by 2028, covering excavators, loaders, cranes, and concrete machinery.
As the construction industry accelerates its transition to sustainable operations, SANY remains at the forefront of innovation. The company's investment in electric and hydrogen-powered machinery, coupled with its global service network and digital solutions, positions it to lead the shift to low-carbon heavy equipment. With a focus on customer-centric design and operational excellence, SANY is building the foundation for a greener, more sustainable future in construction.
