World mining giant vale signs up for XCMG Brazil mining equipment

      On May 18, the signing ceremony of the first batch of mining equipment procurement between vale and XCMG Brazil was grandly held at XCMG Brazil factory in pousoalegre, Minas. Mining and infrastructure equipment, including five gr3505 mining graders, will be delivered to vale Brazil's operation area by the end of this year.
The signing marks that XCMG has officially become a supplier of vale in Brazil, and batch mining equipment has entered vale. This is another breakthrough made by XCMG in the global high-end market after it made every effort to overcome adverse factors such as the epidemic from January to April this year, and its product export volume is significantly ahead of its domestic counterparts.
Wangyansong, vice president of XCMG machinery and chairman of XCMG Brazil, said that XCMG has good social resources in Brazil, is committed to serving global customers, providing complete sets of mining equipment solutions and comprehensive sales service guarantee, and will increase the promotion and investment of environmentally friendly pure electric products with the help of Brazil's market environment.
Marcobraga, Vale's procurement representative, said he was pleased to strengthen cooperation with China's largest construction machinery manufacturer. As a long-term partner of China for nearly half a century, Vale has not only continuously supplied China with high-quality iron ore products and base metal products, but also established a win-win partnership with China's leading manufacturers and service providers. XCMG has become a supplier of vale, enabling the company to better leverage the scale and technology obtained by China's manufacturing industry after decades of development.
The two sides also discussed topics such as the cooperative development and manufacturing of mining machinery, energy conservation and emission reduction, the development of green and environmentally friendly new energy pure electric products, the intellectualization and unmanned of products, and the construction of smart mines based on 5g and other fields.
According to Gan Xinting, deputy general manager of XCMG Brazil, XCMG Brazil is XCMG's first overseas wholly-owned subsidiary, integrating R & D, production, sales, service, spare parts and finance, with an annual capacity of 7000 hosts. In 2021, XCMG Brazil's business grew 222% against the trend.
Vale, a global mining company headquartered in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is one of the world's largest producers of iron ore and nickel. Since the first shipment of iron ore was shipped to China in 1973, Vale has established a partnership with China for nearly half a century.
On October 26 last year, vale and XCMG signed a memorandum of cooperation on the potential supply of mining and infrastructure equipment, including zero emission equipment and self driving equipment. Among them, two zero emission battery driven mining trucks with a load of 72 tons will be transported to Vale's operating areas in Brazil and other places as scheduled in June.
