Recently, the annual awards ceremony of DLR (French Association ofDistributors, Lessors and Repairers) was held in Paris. As one of themost authoritative and influential industry events in the Europeanheavy equipment sector, the DLR awards strictly adhere to corestandards such as technological advancement, environmentalfriendliness, and market adaptability, serving as a "litmustest" for the strength of global heavy equipment companies. Atthis ceremony, Sany Heavy Industry's independently developed SY215Epure electric excavator, with its superior product performance,leading green technology, and outstanding market adaptability, stoodout from numerous participating products worldwide, successfullywinning the "Best Heavy Equipment Grand Prize." This is notonly a significant honor for Sany Heavy Industry in the high-endEuropean market but also another milestone for Chinese equipmentmanufacturing going global, signifying that Chinese pure electricheavy equipment has officially gained authoritative recognition inthe European industry and injecting strong momentum into thehigh-quality development of China's equipment foreign trade.
The French DLR Association, a core industry organization in theFrench and European heavy equipment sector, brings together the mostinfluential distributors, lessors, and repairers in Europe. Itsannual awards cover all categories of heavy equipment and arerenowned for their stringent selection criteria, fair review process,and high industry recognition. Winning a DLR award signifies that aproduct has reached the top level in the European industry in termsof technology, quality, and environmental protection, and can quicklygain the trust and recognition of the European market. The SANYSY215E pure electric excavator winning the "Best Heavy EquipmentGrand Prize" breaks the long-standing monopoly of Europeandomestic brands on this award, becoming the first Chinese pureelectric excavator product to receive this honor. This fullydemonstrates the technological breakthroughs and globalcompetitiveness of Chinese equipment manufacturing in the field ofpure electric heavy equipment, and also showcases the core strengthof "intelligent manufacturing" in China.
As SANY Heavy Industry's flagship medium-sized electric excavatortailored for the European market, the SY215E pure electric excavatorhas quickly gained favor with European customers since its launch,thanks to its precise market positioning and superior productperformance. This award is a comprehensive affirmation of its overallstrength. According to official data from Sany Group, the SY215E pureelectric excavator is a 21-ton class medium-sized electric excavator,weighing 22,000 kg with a bucket capacity of 1.1 m³. It is equippedwith a 150kW/1800rpm permanent magnet synchronous motor from arenowned international brand, boasting advantages such as high torqueat low speeds and maintenance-free operation. With high power andtorque density, it can easily adapt to various complex workingconditions, including earthmoving, rock excavation, railway tunnelconstruction, and mining, fully meeting the construction needs of theEuropean market.
In terms of environmental performance, the SY215E pure electricexcavator achieves zero emissions and low-noise operation, with noiselevels as low as 71 decibels during operation. Compared totraditional fuel-powered excavators, it not only completely solvesthe problem of exhaust pollution but also effectively reducesenvironmental noise during construction. It is particularly suitablefor construction scenarios in urban centers, tunnels, indoorenvironments, and other locations with specific environmentalrequirements, perfectly aligning with Europe's increasingly stringentglobal emission reduction policies. Meanwhile, this model is equippedwith a 422kWh cobalt-free lithium iron phosphate battery, supporting6 to 10 hours of continuous operation under European conditions. Itfeatures dual-gun DC fast charging technology (CCS2 standard), fullycharging in 70 to 90 minutes, significantly reducing recharge timeand completely solving the industry pain points of short range andslow recharge for pure electric equipment, achieving a dualbreakthrough in environmental protection and high efficiency.
This award is not only an individual honor for the Sany SY215E pureelectric excavator, but also a vivid microcosm of the transformationand upgrading of China's equipment manufacturing industry and itshigh-quality overseas expansion. In recent years, Chinese equipmentmanufacturing enterprises have continuously increased investment intechnological research and development, promoting the transformationof products towards electrification, intelligence, and greentechnology, gradually breaking the monopoly of European, American,Japanese, and Korean companies in the high-end heavy equipment field,and occupying an increasingly important position in the globalmarket. Sany Heavy Industry, a leading Chinese equipment manufacturerexpanding overseas, has business operations covering more than 150countries and regions worldwide. In the first half of 2025, thecompany achieved overseas sales revenue of 26.302 billion yuan, ayear-on-year increase of 11.72%, with overseas revenue accounting for60.26% of its main business revenue. Revenue from the European regionreached 6.152 billion yuan, steadily achieving growth and becoming acore growth engine for China's equipment foreign trade.
The European market, as a core battleground for the global high-endequipment market, has extremely high requirements for producttechnology, quality, and environmental standards. For a long time,the European heavy equipment market has been dominated by Europeanand American brands. For Chinese equipment to achieve a breakthrough,it must continuously exert efforts in technological innovation andquality improvement. The Sany SY215E pure electric excavator won theDLR "Best Heavy Equipment Grand Prize" precisely because itachieved a comprehensive breakthrough in technological innovation,not only meeting the stringent standards of the European market butalso surpassing them in performance, environmental protection, andeconomy. This model employs a multi-functional integrated controller,highly integrating multiple functions such as the electric drive MCU,three-phase AC charging OBC, low-voltage power supply DCDC, andvehicle control VCU. It also features AOCT self-optimization controltechnology, which matches the motor and main pump in real timeaccording to the load, achieving low engine energy consumption andhigh main pump efficiency, further enhancing the product's economyand stability.
From a market perspective, the SANY SY215E pure electric excavatorhas achieved large-scale deployment in the European market. With itssuperior product performance and comprehensive after-sales service,it has gained widespread recognition from European distributors,rental companies, and end customers. In the French market, this modelhas been successfully applied to multiple urban infrastructureconstruction projects, becoming a core piece of equipment for localgreen construction. In Germany, Italy, and other European countries,the SY215E pure electric excavator is also gradually gaining marketshare, with orders continuing to grow, laying a solid foundation forthe expansion of Chinese equipment in the European market. This awardwill further enhance the brand awareness and influence of SANY in theEuropean market, promote the entry of more Chinese pure electricheavy equipment into the European market, and help China's equipmentexport achieve a transformation from "quantitative accumulation"to "qualitative improvement."
The global expansion of China's equipment manufacturing industryrelies heavily on technological innovation and a preciseunderstanding of global market demands. The success of the SANYSY215E pure electric excavator stems from its targeted productdevelopment and optimization based on European market needs. It meetsstringent European environmental standards while maintaining highconstruction efficiency and economic viability, becoming a model forChinese equipment adapting to the global market. Winning the FrenchDLR "Best Heavy Equipment Grand Prize" is not only anaffirmation of SANY Heavy Industry's technological strength andproduct quality but also an incentive for China's equipmentmanufacturing industry, encouraging more Chinese equipment companiesto increase investment in technological research and development,enhance core product competitiveness, and achieve high-quality globalexpansion.
