SAN DIEGO (October 13 2016) - LiuGong recently launched their new Tier 4 Final Cummins powered E-Series excavators and H-Series wheel loaders at a special event for North American dealers in San Diego, California. The latest machines feature cleaner engines, more efficient systems and offer a better operator experience than their predecessors.

"In utilizing Cummins Tier 4 Final engine expertise, state-of-the-art manufacturing capabilities and support in North America, LiuGong will provide more competitive products and technologies to our dealer partners and their end-use customers," said Marcus Menough, director of sales and marketing for LiuGong North America. "These advantages ensure that LiuGong delivers a fuel efficient, productive machine that contends in the competitive North American market."

The new equipment models are powered by a range of Cummins engines certified to meet Tier 4 Final regulations:

• 915E Excavator - QSB4.5 - 121 hp (91 kW)
• 922E Excavator - QSB6.7 - 173 hp (129 kW)
• 925E Excavator - QSB6.7 - 190 hp (142 kW)
• 930E Excavator - QSB6.7 - 228 hp (170 kW)
• 936E Excavator - QSL9 - 296 hp (221 kW)
• 856H Wheel Loader - QSB6.7 - 225 hp (168 kW)
• 890H Wheel Loader - QSG12 - 350 hp (261 kW)

The 915E, 922E, 925E, 930E and 936E excavator models will feature a host of improvements from the Tier 3 versions. Changes to the cab make the E- Series more aesthetically pleasing, while better features in-cab provide a state-of-the-art working environment. LiuGong has also taken action to make the E-Series excavators more affordable for their customers than their competitors' products. Cummins Tier 4 Final technology contributes to keeping fuel efficiency high.

The 856H and 890H also feature a host of new and improved features and benefits for end users. For example, LiuGong adopted a radical changeover from an open hydraulic system to a closed hydraulic system. They also embraced a more intelligent cooling system that only activates on demand based on what the temperature sensors indicate. The combination of more efficient machine systems and Cummins Tier 4 Final technology allow the H-Series to have low fuel consumption - passing on savings to the customer.
