In the heavy truck market, China National Heavy Duty Truck Group (Sinotruk) has performed exceptionally well, relying on its full range of product matrices to take the lead in multiple segmented markets such as express delivery, cold chain transportation, and containers, and continues to lead the domestic heavy truck industry.
In the field of new energy heavy-duty trucks, Shandong Heavy Industry has shown an astonishing development speed. In the first half of the year, the sales of new energy heavy-duty trucks soared, with a year-on-year increase of 242%, ranking first in the industry. China National Heavy Duty Truck Group (Sinotruk) has achieved full coverage of new energy technology and has shown outstanding performance in six major application scenarios. It has continuously made innovative breakthroughs in three electric technology and vehicle technology, accelerating its lead in the commercial vehicle new energy track with a surging momentum. In the first half of the year, Sinotruk sold 11000 new energy heavy trucks, a year-on-year increase of 230%, and 5000 new energy light trucks, a year-on-year increase of 294.1%.
Shandong Heavy Industry Group has continuously optimized its overseas market layout and achieved significant results. In the first half of the year, its export revenue was 47.4 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 3%, accounting for 64% of the total export volume of China's heavy-duty truck industry. Among them, China National Heavy Duty Truck Group (Sinotruk) has been at the forefront of the industry's exports for 20 consecutive years, occupying half of the industry's exports. Zhongtong Bus has successfully won the largest single batch order for Chinese bus exports to Chile. With its excellent quality and advanced technology, 895 pure electric buses have won high praise from local governments and customers, establishing a good international image for Chinese manufacturing.
Accelerate transformation and build a green ecosystem
Faced with the surging wave of industrial transformation, Shandong Heavy Industry Group actively seeks change and continuously increases its exploration and application of intelligent manufacturing technology. Through a series of cutting-edge technologies such as big data analysis, AI algorithms, and intelligent online detection technology, it accelerates the pace of enterprise development towards digitization, networking, and intelligence, and has embarked on a unique path of transformation and development. Several companies under Shandong Heavy Industry have been selected as national benchmark enterprises for intelligent manufacturing and outstanding intelligent factories, demonstrating Shandong Heavy Industry's hardcore strength in the field of high-end equipment manufacturing.
China National Heavy Duty Truck Intelligent Network (New Energy) Heavy Truck Intelligent Manufacturing Factory has achieved outstanding achievements in technological innovation. Its fully automated frame longitudinal beam processing production line and welding production line have a full automation rate of 100%. The stamping production line adopts servo press+CNC hydraulic pad technology for the first time in the domestic commercial vehicle field, and the final assembly production line adopts the industry's first wireless non-contact power supply technology. Multiple pioneering technologies have set new benchmarks in the industry; Weichai Power has built a digital unmanned factory for engines, with a processing automation rate, component logistics and distribution automation rate, and online detection rate for key processes all reaching 100%; Fast Heavy Commercial Vehicle Automatic Transmission Intelligent Factory has achieved 100% identity recognition and digital management of key equipment through the application of six core technologies: digital twin, black light production, Internet of Things, intelligent decision-making, green manufacturing, and data closed-loop. It can achieve continuous unmanned "black light production" for 6 hours.
From "manufacturing" to "intelligent manufacturing", from "Chinese brand" to "global benchmark", Shandong Heavy Industry Group takes innovation as the pen, market as the paper, and transformation as the ink, drawing a magnificent blueprint for the development of digitalization and intelligence, injecting stronger "heavy labor force" into the manufacturing power and beautiful Shandong.
