Group cars set sail, leading the way in strength. Recently, the Dangote Group and Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation invested in the construction of Dangote Refinery, which has become the largest single refinery in the world.

The Dangote Refinery Project is located in Lagos, the largest economic city in Nigeria, covering an area of approximately 2200 hectares. Although Nigeria is a major oil producing country, due to the underdeveloped refining and processing industry, it still needs to import fuel from abroad. The emergence of the Dangote Refinery will change this situation and be an important step forward for the Nigerian oil industry.

The natural environment in Nigeria is harsh, and as a coastal city, Lagos, where the project is located, has high temperatures, high humidity, and a lot of dust, posing a huge challenge to the adaptability and reliability of construction machinery and equipment. XCMG has customized upgrades and improvements to the equipment stationed on site to ensure optimal performance and performance.

Among them, XCMG XE470D excavator is the "main force" of the project. XE470D excavator adopts American Cummins engine, with strong power, low consumption and environmental protection; The intake system adopts a three-level filtration mode, and the inner and outer filter elements of the air filter are both Ultra-Web ® The filtering effect of the filter material has been improved to 99.99%, and its service life has been doubled. It can easily cope with the dusty local air and rough and harsh surface conditions.

The equipment management manager of Dangote Refinery stated that in recent years, Nigeria has continuously introduced high-quality excavators and other equipment from XCMG, which is of positive significance for the construction of Dangote Refinery. After the project is completed, it will bring 12000 megawatts of electricity and over 135000 permanent job positions.

Since 2017, XCMG has consistently ranked among the top Chinese construction machinery manufacturers in terms of export volume to Africa. In the vast African land, XCMG excavators are widely used in the construction of Megaproject, including but not limited to Nigeria refinery construction, Tanzania JV dam construction, and Congo Kinomo infrastructure project.

Up to now, XCMG's sales and service outlets in Africa have covered almost all of Africa south of the Sahara Desert, providing professional sales support, after-sales and spare parts services for African countries, and providing free technical and work training for local people. In addition, XCMG has also carried out a series of public welfare projects in Africa, such as donation of caring mosquito nets, scholarship projects, and African water cellar projects, to continuously contribute to the local economic and social development.Editor/XingWentao
