This week, China's heavy-duty equipment sector witnessed a concentrated push in overseas expansion. Leading enterprises such as Foton, Shantui, SDLG, and Sany Heavy Industry took frequent actions, achieving a series of remarkable results in heavy-duty truck exports, construction machinery new product launches, and international cooperation negotiations. From high-end heavy-duty trucks breaking through EU technical barriers, to construction machinery deeply cultivating overseas regional markets, and in-depth promotion of inter-enterprise global cooperation, China's high-end equipment is accelerating its entry into the global stage with technological innovation as the support and localized layout as the starting point, demonstrating the strong competitiveness of "Made in China" and injecting new momentum into China's heavy-duty equipment exports.
On April 9, Foton Auman's flagship heavy-duty truck Galaxy 9 officially debuted in Spain under its European exclusive name Galaxus R9, completing local road tests and registration, marking the official entry of China's high-end heavy-duty trucks into the mainstream EU market. Based on Foton's 6th-generation Galaxy Intelligent Architecture, the model is fully benchmarked against first-tier European heavy-duty truck brands in design, performance, and regulatory compliance, with an overall drag coefficient as low as 0.348, effectively improving long-distance operation economy. The cab adopts a wide-body and high-roof layout, with spacious internal space and complete comfort configurations, meeting the EU standards for drivers' work and rest.
In terms of power, the Galaxus R9 offers two versions: diesel and pure electric. The diesel version is equipped with the Foton Cummins X15 engine and ZF TraXon AMT gearbox, featuring strong power and meeting Euro VI D emission requirements; the pure electric version is equipped with a large-capacity battery, with a range of over 500 kilometers and support for fast charging, suitable for EU zero-emission logistics areas.

This event not only strengthened brand influence but also further consolidated relations with local partners, laying a solid foundation for Shantui to continuously expand its market share in Africa and enhance its global operational capabilities.
On April 9, SDLG successfully held the H-Series product launch event in Cebu, Philippines, showcasing the new generation of construction machinery equipment to key customers in the Visayas region. As the second largest city in the Philippines and a regional infrastructure center, Cebu is an important fulcrum for SDLG's layout in the Southeast Asian market. This launch event also marks the further improvement of the company's product matrix and channel network in Southeast Asia. The new products have been specifically upgraded in terms of power, fuel consumption, operability, and reliability, better adapting to local construction environments and user habits.
Technical personnel detailed the advantages of the H-Series products on site and demonstrated the equipment's performance in earthworks, infrastructure, and other working conditions through on-site demonstrations. As an international construction machinery enterprise, SDLG has always adhered to the localized operation concept, continuously optimizing product adaptability and service response speed. In the future, the company will continue to deepen its presence in the Philippine and Southeast Asian markets, relying on a more complete channel and more demand-oriented products to continuously increase regional market share and contribute to local infrastructure construction.
On April 8, Sany Heavy Industry (600031.SH, 06031.HK) released its 2025 annual performance. The company's overall operation was stable, with significant growth in revenue, net profit, and operating cash flow, demonstrating strong anti-cyclical capabilities and global competitiveness.
