Italian dump truck manufacturer 2740 Perlini has gone into partnership with an undisclosed China-based construction equipment manufacturer in a bid to sell 2,200 of the firm’s trucks to Chinese customers over the next four years.

The Deal could be worth €100 million to Perlini if all 2,200 haulers, most of which will be freshly designed for the Chinese market, and, according to the firm’s president and CEO Dr Maurizio Perlini, similar to the popular Perlini 131-33 RDT, are sold.  

Speaking of the firm’s new China manufacturing partnership during the recent co-located 323 Samoter-160 Asphaltica 2014 exhibition in Verona, Italy, Dr Perlini said, “This partnership is very important to the company and its future. We have been participating in the Chinese market for the last 40 years.”

China customer orders for 100-150 Perlini trucks are, according to Dr Perlini, in the process of being finalised, with the first ordered due for delivery in November 2014.

Ranging from 30-95tonne payloads, Perlini manufactures DP 255, DP 405 WD, DP 705 WD, and DP 905 WD RDTs and the DPT 70 semi articulated truck.
