The 838TE electric wheel loader is the highlight of the new phase of the T Series.
LiuGong announces the expansion of the T Series with the incorporation of its electric lineup, reinforcing the company’s global electrification strategy through equipment that combines structural robustness, high productivity, and a significant reduction in operating costs. The initiative aligns with the energy transition underway in the heavy equipment sector and responds to the growing demand for zero-emission solutions, particularly in urban, industrial, and mining operations.
As a result of a global development program launched in 2014, LiuGong has already sold more than 6.500 electric machines worldwide. By 2024, these units had accumulated 1.1 billion operating hours, with an estimated reduction of 330.000 tons of CO₂, an environmental impact equivalent to the planting of approximately 1,8 billion trees.
The dedicated electric engineering features a transmission developed in-house by LiuGong, delivering up to 20% higher efficiency, along with an intelligent energy recovery system capable of reducing overall energy consumption by up to 20%, particularly in duty cycles with frequent braking. The electric architecture eliminates the internal combustion engine, drastically reduces the number of wear-prone components, and extends maintenance intervals, resulting in a significantly lower total maintenance cost compared to diesel-powered machines.
The electric T Series adopts MTB (Module to Bracket) technology, which integrates the battery modules directly into the machine’s structure. This solution increases volumetric energy density by more than 40%, reduces wiring harness length by 93%, and enhances overall vibration resistance by more than 300%. The batteries use LFP (lithium iron phosphate) chemistry, recognized for its high thermal stability and safety, with an estimated service life of five years or 10.000 operating hours, and feature a Battery Management System (BMS) developed in-house by LiuGong, ensuring precise control, reliability, and performance.
The introduction of the electric T Series consolidates this trajectory and expands the brand’s portfolio in strategic segments. Among the highlights of this new phase of the T Series is the 838TE electric wheel loader, developed on the same structural platform as conventional T Series models, ensuring the robustness and reliability already recognized by the market. The machine is equipped with a 193 kWh battery, 120 kW rated power, a 4.800 kg operating load, and a 2,7 m³ bucket, ensuring high performance even in demanding applications.
The 838TE model is compatible with major global charging standards (GB/T) and can be fully charged in approximately one hour using a 160 kW charging station, ensuring productivity during intensive operating shifts. With the expansion of the T Series into the electric lineup, LiuGong reinforces its commitment to innovation, sustainability, and operational efficiency, delivering market solutions aligned with the evolving environmental and economic requirements of the heavy equipment industry.
