Currently, the global construction machinery industry is undergoing profound changes in intelligent and green transformation.
Digital technology is deeply integrated with the real economy, and new technologies such as smart manufacturing and smart construction are reshaping the industrial development model and promoting the industry’s upgrade from traditional equipment manufacturing to full-scenario intelligent services. Driven by the “double carbon” goal, new energy equipment is accelerating the penetration, and full life cycle green solutions have become an important starting point for enterprises to break through industry cycles and build core competitiveness.
Under this trend, LiuGong grandly held the 5.28 Global Customer Festival in Liuzhou, Guangxi on May 31, with the theme of “Smart, Green, Extending Human Power” to showcase the major achievements of digital intelligence transformation, zero-carbon technological innovation, and global layout, demonstrating the company’s hard-core ability to keep up with industry trends and lead the high-quality development of the industry.
“Anchoring the core direction of comprehensive solutions, comprehensive digital intelligence, and globalization, LiuGong will take the lead in technological innovation and strive to become the world’s leading equipment and technology solution provider!” Zheng Jin, Party Secretary and Chairman of LiuGong Group and LiuGong Co., Ltd., anchored the course for high-quality development in the new stage in his speech at the event.
At the same time, based on customer value and scenario-based application needs, LiuGong continues to deepen strategic iteration and accelerate the in-depth transformation from “machine-centered” to “customer- and application-scenario-centered”.
The company abandons the traditional single equipment sales model, develops a full-category scenario-based service system, and builds a full life cycle value service chain covering equipment selection, procurement, daily use, maintenance and upgrades, and residual value management, empowering customers with full-dimensional and refined services to reduce costs, increase efficiency, and transform and upgrade.
At this Global Customer Festival, LiuGong exhibited more than 150 complete sets of equipment suitable for large-scale working conditions with a capacity of 20 million tons, providing systematic and integrated ecological support for customers in core fields such as mining and infrastructure.
Green and low-carbon transformation is the core theme of this round of industry reform, and it is also the innovation track where Liugong focuses on breakthroughs.
At this Customer Festival, LiuGong launched a zero-carbon smart mining solution and innovatively built a full-process integrated system of “equipment + energy + intelligence + service” to provide a implementable and replicable one-stop solution for the green and intelligent transformation of the global mining industry.
This solution builds a complete equipment matrix for open-pit mines covering drilling and blasting, loading, transportation, and auxiliary construction, and simultaneously implements a self-developed “microgrid energy supply integrated monitoring platform” to accurately solve the industry pain points of insufficient energy supply and high electricity costs in remote mines.
Relying on this platform, mine power costs can be reduced by more than 40%, and additional income can be created through green power trading, achieving both economic and ecological benefits.
At the same time, LiuGong has created customized transformation paths for mining customers of different sizes and working conditions, from intelligent management and control, equipment upgrades to full-cycle services, to help mine production achieve low-carbon, intelligent, and efficient upgrades.
“In response to the green transformation needs of mining customers, we tailor-made zero-carbon smart mining solutions, which not only achieve large-scale practical application of a full range of pure electric equipment, but also successfully deliver the world’s first driverless electric loader in mines. Relying on Liugong’s smart mine management system, we can help customers reduce their overall operating costs by more than 60%,” Zheng Jin said.
In this regard, industry experts commented that Liugong continues to deepen the research and development and implementation of green and low-carbon technologies. With solid technical achievements and application results, it has achieved safer construction sites, lower-carbon mining, more efficient production operations, and more robust cost control. It has provided important demonstrations and support for the construction machinery industry to overcome cycles, improve quality and efficiency, and green upgrades.
Comprehensive digital and intelligent transformation is LiuGong’s second strategic pivot to empower industrial upgrading and consolidate core competitiveness.
LiuGong uses digital technology to reconstruct new momentum for corporate development, deeply promotes the integration and innovation of electronic, intelligent, and digital technologies, continues to iterate digital solutions for product lines, and promotes the upgrade of all series of equipment in the direction of intelligence, high precision, and high adaptability.
At the same time, the company deepens the construction of a digital operation system for the entire value chain, builds a data-driven scientific decision-making mechanism, comprehensively improves the operational efficiency of the entire chain of R&D, production, sales, and services, and brings a smarter, more efficient, and more convenient one-stop service experience to global customers.
Globalization is LiuGong’s core strategy to participate in global high-end competition.
Relying on years of deep internationalization, LiuGong promotes overseas business from simple market export to global integrated operations across the entire chain of R&D, supply, production, sales, and capital, improves the full value chain layout in global core markets, and continues to enhance core competitiveness in the international market.
This Customer Festival brought together more than 1,200 dealers, suppliers and customer representatives from more than 50 countries and regions around the world, which is a vivid confirmation of Liugong’s continued growing global influence.
Su Zimeng, President of the China Construction Machinery Industry Association, highly recognized LiuGong’s development achievements. He expressed his message to LiuGong to continue to set the benchmark for the industry, accurately grasp the pulse of the intelligent, green, and globalized industry, deeply explore the global market with high-quality smart green solutions, and continue to write an international chapter for Chinese construction machinery brands.
In recent years, Liugong has entered the fast lane of international development. Overseas sales have achieved double-digit growth for four consecutive years, and overseas revenue has set new historical records year after year. Overseas revenue accounts for nearly 50%. Overseas markets have become the ballast and power engine for the company’s stable operations and sustained growth.
Looking to the future, intelligence will reshape the industrial form, greening will define the foundation for development, and globalization will expand the space for growth. These three major trends are deeply integrated and mutually supportive, leading the construction machinery industry to a new stage of high-quality development.
Based on the new industry landscape, LiuGong will continue to adhere to the core of innovation, keep up with the trend of industrial change, focus on the core needs of customers, continue to iterate smart, green, and global solutions, help global partners reduce costs, increase efficiency, and low-carbon transformation, continue to demonstrate the core strength and responsibility of Chinese construction machinery brands, and lead the industry to move forward steadily in the wave of high-quality development and global competition.
