Following the successful delivery of the first batch of 45-ton electric locomotives to Wuhan, Hubei just prior to the National Day, Xiangtan Electric Locomotive Factory Co., Ltd. rapidly dispatched a second batch to the same massive metro transit project on October 9th—a mere ten days later.

This milestone signifies a major strategic evolution for the company, marking the successful expansion of its product portfolio from traditional mining equipment manufacturing into the broader underground engineering equipment sector. Currently, locomotives manufactured by the company are being commissioned and put into active operation across large-scale underground infrastructure projects nationwide.
