XCMG Equipment Shines on Road Projects in South Africa and Angola as It Deepens Its Presence in Africa

Africa is accelerating infrastructure building with growing demand for construction machinery. XCMG has launched landmark projects in South Africa and Angola, expanding Chinese engineering equipment’s influence and advancing China-Africa infrastructure cooperation via premium products, integrated solutions and localized services.

In Johannesburg, XCMG’s first XM1305F milling machine started operation on a busy municipal road, the model’s debut in South Africa. The road carries over 5,000 vehicles daily with half-lane construction adopted for traffic safety. It achieves 200mm deep milling at 3.5m/min, generating evenly graded recyclable asphalt. Its retractable conveyor avoids material pile-up, lifting construction efficiency by 40% versus local old equipment.

Running 8 straight hours under 32°C high temperature and dusty conditions, the machine maintained zero breakdowns with stable hydraulic and cooling systems. Timely on-site maintenance and spare parts support earned high praise from the construction team, offering an ideal solution for local road renovation.
