In the first half of the year, ZOOMLION built new smart products such as mixer trucks leading the industry’s lightweight standards, and hollow boom truck-mounted concrete pumps featuring “black technology” in the industry to continuously lead industry innovation. Meanwhile, the company strengthened its operations with new business formats such as "cloud marketing", changed the way the brand communicates with the consumer, and made steady headway in the ZOOMLION Smart Industry City project, a world-class lighthouse factory, and in the second phase of the tower crane smart factory project. It uses smart manufacturing to continuously enhance the company’s sustainable profitability and achieve a new upgrade of brand value.

ZOOMLION will seek for high-quality development through smart manufacturing, advocate the manufacturing industry to shape the industrial ecological civilization, and leverage its strength to enhance the image of the Chinese manufacturing brand on the international arena.
