Dongfeng is shifting from pure vehicle export to integrated localized operation covering R&D, manufacturing, sales and finance under unified global quality standards. The visit builds communication ties between Chinese and African industrial youth and demonstrates the global layout of high-end, green and intelligent domestic heavy trucks.
On June 25, SHACMAN participated in the 9th China-Eurasia Expo in Urumqi. The brand displayed 12 complete vehicles and 15 sets of core parts, covering fuel, LNG and pure electric models to adapt to complex cross-border transportation conditions in Xinjiang and Central Asia. Three flagship tractor models were highlighted, meeting diverse demands of long-distance heavy haulage, energy saving and green short-distance transportation.
With local manufacturing bases and mature after-sales networks, SHACMAN provides customized, durable and fuel-efficient trucks for extreme temperature and mountainous road conditions in Central Asia. The enterprise communicated with government institutions and logistics clients to promote new energy fleet upgrading and cross-border service cooperation. It will further optimize region-specific products and improve overseas service layouts to support the high-quality development of Belt and Road logistics.
Recently, Dongfeng Import and Export launched the new CAPTAIN.45 right-hand-drive light truck in Australia, marking the brand’s official entry into the Australian and New Zealand light commercial vehicle markets. Tailored for local road conditions and emission standards after three years of market research, the 4.5-ton intelligent logistics truck delivers outstanding reliability and fuel efficiency to meet local low-carbon transformation demands.
Dongfeng has built a comprehensive local operation system with 23 service outlets across Australia, supported by complete transmission components and customized financial services. The brand will accelerate the launch of electric light trucks in Oceania, improve its green product lineup, and implement an integrated export model covering products, channels, after-sales and finance to expand global right-hand-drive market share.
Recently, Tonly Heavy Industry held the 2026 Overseas Customer Festival themed Green Intelligence, New Journey to boost global low-carbon mining upgrading. With more than 20 years of experience in mining equipment, the enterprise teamed up with industrial chain partners to launch an integrated eco-solution including vehicles, energy, digital intelligence and after-sales service. Three new energy mining trucks and TE series mining excavators were released to complete full-tonnage product lineup for mining transportation and excavation.
The new mining trucks support autonomous driving and multi-layer safety brakes for different mine conditions. The self-developed TIMS 4.0 platform enables digital fleet management and unmanned dispatching display. The newly launched TONLY CARE global service brand sets four quantifiable service standards on equipment availability, spare parts supply and fault handling efficiency, offering standardized replicable intelligent green mining packages for worldwide mining clients.
Recently, two Liugong M200E cold milling machines have been put into highway maintenance projects in Paraná, Brazil, conducting round-the-clock pavement milling operations. With a 2000mm milling width and stepless adjustable milling depth from 0 to 330mm, the equipment achieves precise 4.5cm standardized milling and integrates milling and material collection, greatly improving the efficiency of local road maintenance construction.
Equipped with a high-power engine and adaptive power control system, the M200E delivers sufficient power and low fuel consumption for hard pavement working conditions. Its full-hydraulic four-wheel drive and intelligent one-key milling system support efficient unmanned monitoring and all-weather construction. Backed by Liugong’s global dealer and spare parts system, the equipment provides reliable after-sales support, further consolidating the brand’s influence in Latin American infrastructure markets.
Recently, the 5th Tashkent International Investment Forum was held in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. During the event, XCMG signed strategic cooperation memorandums with Uzbekistan’s higher education authority and Chinese and Uzbek universities. The newly launched “2+1+1” talent training program targets local students and cultivates professional technical, marketing and management talents for the regional construction machinery industry through integrated language courses, professional training and on-site practical internships.
Uzbek authorities and key local universities fully recognized XCMG’s industry-education integration model and promoted the steady implementation of joint training projects. Adhering to the globalization philosophy of synchronous industrial and talent layout, XCMG builds a two-way international talent training channel, consolidates local operation foundations in Central Asia, and empowers high-quality Belt and Road infrastructure cooperation through localized talent cultivation.
On June 24, Masaki Furuta, Managing Director of Nidec Machine Tool Corporation of Japan, led a delegation to visit Fast Gear’s Xi’an high-tech plant. Kou Zhida, General Manager of Fast Gear Group, held talks with the visitors to discuss deepened strategic cooperation in precision gear manufacturing.
The two sides agreed to expand cooperation scope including gear processing technology upgrading, intelligent production line efficiency improvement and joint new product verification. Nidec will keep upgrading high-end precision gear machining equipment, and both parties aim to set a benchmark for cross-border industrial cooperation in transmission component industry.
On June 22, the first AxTrax 2 integrated electric drive axle rolled off the production line at the Foton-ZF joint venture plant in Jiaxing. The two parties signed a strategic cooperation agreement in 2023 to introduce ZF’s next-generation electric drive technology for domestic mass production. AxTrax 2 serves medium and heavy commercial vehicles, equipped with a 930V silicon carbide inverter delivering 210kW continuous power and 26000 N·m peak torque, and can coordinate with vehicle braking and advanced driving assistance systems.
The joint transmission plant founded in 2017 has hit total sales of 20 billion RMB, and the new electric axle expands cooperation into new energy transmission tracks. The two sides will integrate vehicle application advantages and global technical strengths, boost local component sourcing and cost reduction, build vertical integration of batteries, motors and controllers, and set a benchmark for localized electric drive manufacturing in China’s commercial vehicle sector.
Chinese heavy equipment manufacturers captured multiple growth opportunities in emerging markets including Oceania, Central Asia and Latin America this cycle. Breakthroughs covered green intelligent equipment iteration, mass production of core new energy parts, local talent training and cross-border industrial collaboration.
