HD Construction Equipment said on the 26th that it will participate in the international construction equipment expo "CONEXPO 2026," to be held at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Nevada, from Mar. 3 to 7 (local time), and unveil nine new excavator models. This will be the first appearance at a global exhibition since the establishment of the integrated corporation and is seen as a strategy to strengthen its push into North America, the world's largest construction equipment market.

HD Construction Equipment will operate three booths—HYUNDAI, DEVELON, and Engine—and unveil nine next-generation mid- to large-size excavator models in the 23- to 40-ton (t) class (five Hyundai models and four Develon models). The new models will be equipped with the latest artificial intelligence (AI) unmanned autonomy solution "RealX," which will also be demonstrated.

At the Hyundai booth, 22 flagship machines will be displayed, including five next-generation excavators from the "HX series," wheel loaders, articulated dump trucks (ADT), and compact equipment. At the Develon booth, 21 flagship machines will be unveiled, including four next-generation excavators from the "NextGen series" and North America-tailored strategic models. There will also be a hands-on experience zone where visitors can sit in the operator's seat and try demonstrations themselves.

At the Engine booth, the full lineup of industrial engines will be shown, including the 1.1-liter-class electronic ultra-compact DA11 engine, the DX05 and DX08 engines installed in next-generation new models, and the DX22 engine for ultra-large excavators, along with next-generation powertrains such as hydrogen engines and high-performance battery packs, which will be unveiled for the first time.

HD Construction Equipment President Moon Jae-young said, "This exhibition is a stage to prove the competitiveness of our next-generation new models in the North American market, which is strict about technology and quality," adding, "We will boost our market share in North America and kick off our full-fledged leap to the global top tier with next-generation new models armed with advanced AI technology and our independently developed engines."
