Electrification
- 2025 — first 600 kWh wheel loader class enters field trials
- 2027 — electrified rigid hauler packages for short-cycle pits
- 2030 — zero-diesel quarry option for contracted sites
Heavy Engineering · Since 1949
Battery-electric earthmoving line · supervised then Level-4 autonomous haul · digital twin of every active quarry and high-rise crane fleet we support.
Four pillars guide capital planning for EPCs, mining houses and municipal infrastructure owners who already run Liebherr cranes and loaders. Since 1949 the company has grown a 580,000 m² production footprint and roughly 5,200 engineering and manufacturing specialists supporting about 12,000 units shipped each year into 130 countries. That scale matters when your project director needs identical hydraulic system pressure setpoints and boom load chart formats across continents.
The roadmap is not a marketing slogan set; each pillar is tied to measurable machine attributes—operating weight of battery packs, hoist cycle telemetry via ISO 15143-3 AEMP feeds, gradeability of hydrogen demonstrators and slewing speed envelopes on digitally twinned tower cranes. Chief engineers can map these milestones against their own 2026–2030 fleet replacement calendars without waiting for a trade-show brochure cycle.
