This collaborative approach will play a critical role in building a closed-loop ecosystem for the new energy industry chain, injecting fresh energy into the growth of China's new energy sector. XCMG is committed to driving the green and intelligent transformation of the commercial vehicle industry.

In recent years, XCMG has proactively aligned with its dual-carbon strategy. The company's new energy product lineup covers pure electric, hybrid, and hydrogen fuel cell-powered, serving a broad range of applications including road logistics, construction, municipal sanitation, and mining operations. XCMG's diverse product portfolio is industry-leading in terms of coverage. Through its unwavering glocal strategy, XCMG's international influence continues to grow. The company has already launched KD factory production in the Middle East and Africa, advancing from simple trade export to deep localization and integration within these regions.

In 2024 alone, XCMG's new energy heavy truck sales reached 14,400 units, maintaining the highest total sales and market share in the industry for the second consecutive year. This milestone highlights XCMG's significant leap forward in the new energy sector, setting the stage for further breakthroughs and innovations in the years to come.
