World's first EVER R 9800 Repower in Australia | Liebherr

Liebherr-Australia has made history with the world’s first-ever repower of two R 9800 excavators for Yancoal at Mount Thorley Warkworth in the Hunter Valley, NSW. In this timelapse video, watch as our team removes the existing engines and replaces them with Liebherr D9812 engines, purpose-built for the demanding conditions of mining operations. This milestone project showcases our commitment to innovation, efficiency, and customer collaboration—delivering increased reliability, fuel savings, and performance to Yancoal’s fleet. Thank you to our team at Liebherr Mount Thorley and Yancoal for making this project a success! #LiebherrAustralia #Yancoal #R9800 #Repower # LiebherrEngines #MiningInnovation 📱 Follow us on social media ▬▬▬▬ ► LinkedIn: / liebherranz ► X: / liebherr ► Instagram: / liebherraustralia ► Facebook: / liebherraustralia ► YouTube: / liebherr ► Youtube Playlist: • Liebherr Australia ► TikTok: / liebherr_group 🌐 About Liebherr ▬▬▬▬▬ The Liebherr Group is a family-run technology company with a broadly diversified product portfolio, which includes a total of 13 product segments.
