Liebherr marks 10,000th XPower wheel loader milestone

Liebherr-Werk Bischofshofen has rolled out its 10,000th XPower wheel loader, marking a major production milestone. The anniversary L 580 XPower model, featuring a power-split travel drive developed with ZF Friedrichshafen AG, was handed over to the BERGER Group in Passau.

“The transmission from our partner ZF is a key component of the drivetrain in our XPower wheel loaders,” said Gerhard Pirnbacher, Head of Quality Management at Liebherr. “With an impressive total of around 64 million operating hours already clocked up by XPower models, this transmission has proven its exceptional robustness.”

The XPower drive combines hydrostatic and mechanical systems for fuel efficiency and durability. “We would like to congratulate Liebherr on its 10,000th XPower wheel loader,” said Daniel Härter, SVP, ZF Industrial Technology.

BERGER now operates 21 XPower loaders. “We value the handling, reliability and relatively low operating costs,” said Matthias Neidhardt of BERGER Rohstoffe GmbH. The special anniversary unit features decals and a hand-signed ZF gearbox.
