Hitachi Expands Dump Truck Production

Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. has decided to begin full-scale production of dump trucks in the fiscal year 2026, with Hitachi Construction Truck, Hitachi Construction Machinery’s wholly owned subsidiary, to establish a local production and service framework for dump trucks in the Americas market.

The company say that this decision is in response to the strong demand in the Americas market and that by developing a local production and service framework for dump trucks they can quickly accommodate local market needs.

The Americas account for a substantial part of the global dump trucks over 150 tons market. Copper, iron ore, and gold are mined in large volumes in South America. The Hitachi Construction Machinery Group has been producing dump trucks at the Hitachinaka-Rinko Works in Hitachinaka, Ibaraki Prefecture, and delivering them to the world. Now, with local production of dump trucks in Canada, transportation time will be shortened, and the Americas market can be quickly supplied with products that match customers’ needs.
