On December 18, 2021, customers and rotary drilling construction experts from all over the country gathered in Shandong Province to participate in the "World's First Range-Extended Electric Rotary Drilling Machine On-site Observation Meeting" to discuss friendship and development!

The Yutong YTR436HE range-extended electric rotary drilling rig, which was observed during this demonstration, has completed 1161 hours of continuous, trouble-free operation. Facing geological conditions of moderately weathered limestone (1.5-16 meters deep) with a hardness of 30-60 MPa, and pile diameters of 1.6 meters and depths of 17-19 meters, the drilling time was approximately 30 hours. In range-extended mode, fuel consumption was 23 liters per hour, and in pure electric mode, power consumption was 89 kWh per hour. Compared to similar equipment on the same site, efficiency is increased by 30%, energy consumption in pure electric operation is reduced by 66.6%, and energy consumption in range-extended operation is reduced by 40%-50%.

After the on-site observation, Wang Dangqi, General Manager of Yutong Heavy Equipment Jinan Branch, gave a detailed explanation of the YTR436HE range-extended electric rotary drilling rig.

At the event's gala, Han Jun, Deputy General Manager of Shandong Expressway Bridge Equipment Engineering Co., Ltd., stated that after preliminary investigation of Yutong's electric technology, the company introduced the YTR436HE for trial use. Through data comparison over the past 50 days, Yutong's range-extended electric rotary drilling rig has demonstrated significant advantages in efficiency and energy consumption compared to traditional fuel-fired drilling rigs.

"Relying on the strong R&D capabilities of Yutong Group in new energy technologies, Yutong Heavy Equipment will continue to innovate in the research of new energy technologies and the development of electrification of construction machinery, creating greater value for customers, promoting industry development, and contributing to social progress," said Feng Qin, Deputy General Manager of Yutong Heavy Equipment.

Finally, the ceremony for Yutong Heavy Equipment's entry into the Shandong Expressway Bridge Equipment Cloud Platform and the launch of its strategic cooperation was a complete success!

In the future, Yutong Heavy Equipment will actively assume social responsibility, fully meet market demands, and continue to create greater value for customers and contribute to the construction of better cities with greener, more environmentally friendly, and energy-efficient products!
