HEVI and Lonking partner to develop electric construction equipment in U.S.

Written By Mariah Moore

In mid-July, Greenland Technologies, the parent company of HEVI, announced its strategic partnership with Chinese-based Lonking Holdings Ltd. The partnership stems from a demand for more eco-friendly machinery and aims to “revolutionize the heavy machinery industry” in the U.S. market. 

Raymond Wang, CEO of Greenland, states in the release, “Lonking is a renowned manufacturer of heavy machinery, known for its commitment to quality, reliability, and innovation. With decades of experience in the industry and dedication to delivering superior models to its customers worldwide, we share in our focus on innovation and environmental responsibility. This partnership represents another major step forward in our commitment to sustainable innovation as we continue to set new standards in the industry with our HEVI brand.”

Both companies are committed to transitioning to a more electric-powered market, especially after the gradual tightening of municipal noise and emissions regulations. More specifically, this collaboration aims to reduce carbon emissions and improve operator productivity while keeping the total cost of ownership down. 

This collaboration will expand the HEVI brand of electric vehicles. The company’s first release was in 2022, with three lithium-ion-powered vehicles. These machines, including the GEX-8000, the GEL-5000, and the GEL-1800, operate at a few high-profile locations. 

While there is no concrete release date for the new products, Lonking’s forklifts, skid steers, rollers, loaders, and excavators could be a preview of the launch.
