France remains at the heart of LiuGong’s growth strategy for Europe and has seen significant investment in recent years in the establishment of a nationwide dealer network.

Comprising of sixteen dealers, the network provides full sales and service support for the French construction industry.

“We are very excited to be showcasing our world-class BEV capability,” explains Samuel Broilliard, head of LiuGong operations in France. “We know that French customers are increasing looking for sustainable machine solutions, backed up by expert support and advice. China leads the world in BEV technology and LiuGong is a leader in China, so I am confident that our customers will be impressed with our BEV expertise.”

New machines include 922FE and 9027FE excavators and the new 820TE and 856HE wheeled loaders. With their distinctive green livery, these machines share LiuGong’s Red Dot Award-winning design DNA and put the operator right at the heart of the machine.

Liuzhou-headquartered LiuGong says it is leading a revolution in BEV R&D and plans to launch over 40 BEV models by 2027, including new BEV excavators, wheeled loaders, telehandlers and access equipment.

Alongside LiuGong’s investments in France, the company has also expanded its European operations with new regional offices in Germany, Italy and Turkey. Major expansion plans are also in place for the UK with a new R&D Centre, proving ground, test area and Customer Solutions Centre.

Howard Dale, LiuGong Europe chairman, says: “Now is an exciting time to be considering the LiuGong brand. Significant investments have been made, not just in product development, but in future-proofing our business to be an even better partner for our customers. At LiuGong, we are committed to listening to our customers and working with them to create a better future and success for everyone.”
