The National Diesel Dirt & Turf Expo (DDT) is the largest engineering machinery industry exhibition in Australia, held annually, providing an important platform for showcasing road, construction, and mining equipment, as well as offering opportunities for industry professionals and machinery enthusiasts to stay abreast of the latest trends, procure, and network. The 2024 edition of DDT, held from April 12th to April 14th at New Sydney Dragway, Ferrers Rd, Eastern Ck, was the largest and most diverse in terms of product categories since its inception in 2016. This edition attracted over 71,000 visitors and featured participation from over 200 exhibitors, including some of the most renowned global brands. The expo not only showcased the latest machinery and equipment but also facilitated industry networking, learning, and business opportunities.

XCMG has been consistently participating in The National Diesel Dirt & Turf Expo since 2021. Each year, it upgrades its exhibition venue and products, aligning with its transformation goals of "high-end, intelligent, green, service-oriented, and internationalized."

?This year, XCMG's booth covers an area of 1,820 square meters, accounting for 4.4% of the total exhibition area. XCMG's product range includes complete sets of engineering machinery equipment such as road rollers, graders, loaders, excavators, forklifts, aerial work platforms, and articulated trucks, totaling over 30 units. The exhibited equipment not only maintains its consistent high standards in performance and innovation but also emphasizes environmental protection. Several electric products add a touch of green to XCMG's booth.

XCMG Star Exhibits

As mentioned earlier, XCMG showcased over 30 units of equipment at this exhibition. These include models such as the XS123PD single drum roller, GR2405TPro motor grader, XC7-SR07/XC7-SR07 skid steer loader, XE35U mini excavator, among others, all customized for the Australian market and well-received by local customers. However, among the many excellent products, two standout models garnered exceptional popularity: the articulated dump truck XDA45 and the electric loader XC968-EV.
