Russia has been buying excavators from TYHI for more than seven years. In October 2010, a TZ 35 m 3 excavator was exported to Russia at the first time. After half a year of installation and commissioning, it was put into use in July 2011. “Then our excavators were shown to work very well in harsh conditions, which proved our products’ ability to reach international requirements.” In December 2011, TYHI received a further order for four excavators of 35 m 3 capacity from Russia clients. “TYHI’s TZ excavators not only satisfy our domestic market but also have been exported to Russia, Pakistan, Peru, Kazakhstan, India, Myanmar, Mongolia, Chile, South Africa, Iran and Liberia.” Recently, TYHI also held an opening ceremony for establishing an after-sale service centre for Indian coal miner Northern Coalfields Ltd (NCL). This after-sales service centre has offices, meeting rooms, a maintenance workshop, spare parts warehouse, and staff quarters. At the beginning of 2016, TYHI signed a contract with NCL for supplying six sets of shovels with capacity of 20 m 3 .
