The latest addition to Liebherr Mining's range the R 9300 Generation 8 excavator is now available for purchase internationally. Expected to begin serial production in 2024 the backhoe configuration will be available in the first quarter followed by the face shovel configuration in the second quarter. 

This new excavator is set to replace the R 9250 in Liebherr's lineup of 250 metric-tonne excavators. Customers got their first glimpse of this machine at Bauma 2022 in Munich. As the second Generation 8 excavator in Liebherr's product line the R 9300 comes equipped with the latest Liebherr Mining technology as standard. 

These technological advancements offer improved on-site performance compatibility with Liebherr's Assistance Systems and potential future enhancements such as automation zero-emission technologies and digital services.

The R 9300 prioritises fuel efficiency without compromising productivity and performance. It features Liebherr Power Efficiency (LPE) an exclusive engine and hydraulics management system that reduces fuel consumption by 15 per cent compared to its predecessor the R 9250. This decrease in fuel consumption leads to a 25 per cent increase in fuel efficiency. Liebherr is also developing an electric-drive version of the R 9300 to further enhance fuel efficiency which will be available soon.
