“Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville Expressway”is an important achievement of high-quality cooperation between China and Cambodia under the Belt and Road Initiative.

With total investment exceeding USD 2 billion,this project,once completed,will greatly shorten the distance from Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville,effectively lowering the logistics cost and driving the economic and social development along the line.

A year ago,XCMG,with its complete construction machinery solutions and all-round guarantee for overseas services,fully supported and cooperated with China Road&Bridge Corporation(CRBC)in the construction of Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville Expressway.XCMG’s excavator has become the first equipment put in this construction.

It is a huge challenge to build a 190-km-long expressway on such a mountainous terrain.Working in such harsh conditions and high intensity,the equipment shall be extremely flexible with high-quality engine circulation and power systems.

Through screening and verification during construction,the contractor is very satisfied with XCMG’s XE215C hydraulic excavator.

Directing at the construction environment in Cambodia,XCMG XE215C excavator is provided with a modified positive-pressure degassing expansion tank,which is able to eliminate wet gas in the engine and waterway as fast as possible,so as to reduce rusting,improve the service life of pumps and ensure equipment attendance and engineering progress.Meanwhile,the excavator is equipped with an originally imported 128.5kw engine,which is powerful and fuel-efficient,and a new main pump,which is 7%more efficient than the previous generation.

Since the commencement of the expressway project,XCMG excavators,with their excellent quality,stable performance and super-high working efficiency,have ensured the smooth progress of the project under high-intensity and high-load operating environment,and thus they are fully recognized by the contractor.XCMG XE215C has become the main force of excavation and transportation for the construction of Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville Expressway.

To ensure smooth development of the project,XCMG arranged its overseas engineers to the construction site to guide the installation and commissioning after the equipment arrived at the site.
