From September 14 to 20, 2026, the IAA Transportation Hanover will open, with Shandong Heavy Industry bringing together SINOTRUK, WEICHAI Power, and HanDe Axle for a joint exhibition, showcasing their full-chain innovations in high-end, intelligent, and green technologies. This appearance at Hanover marks a deep transformation in Shandong Heavy Industry's globalization strategy—evolving from traditional product trade "going global" to comprehensive "deep cultivation" of the industrial ecosystem, ushering in a new phase of high-quality development for Chinese high-end equipment brands on the global stage.

Full-Scale Market Breakthroughs: Multi-Dimensional Growth Solidifies the Globalization Foundation

　　Leveraging localized operational systems and full-industry-chain synergies, Shandong Heavy Industry has achieved robust growth in overseas markets. In the first half of 2026, the group's export revenue reached RMB 62.4 billion, a year-on-year increase of 33.4%. Core markets in the Middle East and Africa, Asia-Pacific, the Americas, and Europe all experienced simultaneous growth, achieving breakthroughs across multiple regions.

　　Each business segment contributes to this robust foundation: SINOTRUK exported 103,000 heavy trucks in the first half of the year, a year-on-year increase of 46.5%, maintaining its position as the industry's number one exporter for 21 consecutive years. Leveraging 37 KD plants and over 700 overseas service stations, it has completed the transition from mere complete vehicle exports to an integrated export model encompassing technology, services, and brand. WEICHAI Power, with years of deep presence in overseas markets, exports to more than 150 countries and regions, with overseas revenue accounting for over 51% of its total. Its heavy-duty engine sales rank first globally. In the first half of this year, WEICHAI Power's engine export sales grew by 19% year-on-year, with frequent successes and multiple green achievements in overseas markets. Notably, 4,950 buses equipped with WEICHAI engines were successfully delivered to Algeria, setting a local record for such partnerships. Additionally, the Ethiopian natural gas bus project is progressing smoothly, with 1,200 gas-powered products and supporting equipment being delivered in phases, aiding the local public transportation sector's green transition with clean energy solutions. While exporting high-quality power products, WEICHAI Power consistently brings green, low-carbon solutions to various parts of the world, leveraging hardcore technology to assist in carbon reduction across multiple countries' transport sectors and jointly build a sustainable global ecosystem. HanDe Axle saw its export sales grow by 26% year-on-year in the first half of the year, with its localized operational ecosystem steadily improving.

　　Currently, the group has established 55 trading platforms in 32 countries and over 60 overseas manufacturing and KD assembly plants, enabling localized manufacturing in more than 30 countries. WEICHAI's deep-rooted operations in Vietnam and SINOTRUK's CKD plant in Malaysia, which recently celebrated its 10,000th complete vehicle rollout, serve as benchmark cases for localized operations.

Full-Chain Technological Moat: Complete Vehicles + Core Components Forge Global Competitiveness

　　The full-industry-chain core technological advantage is the foundation of Shandong Heavy Industry's deep cultivation of the global market. The group has established a complete chain encompassing complete vehicles, powertrains, core components, and new energy recharging solutions, covering multiple technology routes including fuel, hybrid, hydrogen, and pure electric, enabling the provision of integrated customized solutions for diverse global scenarios.

　　At this Hanover exhibition, SINOTRUK will bring its upgraded SITRAK high-end commercial vehicle matrix, alongside its integrated wind-solar-storage-charging-swapping recharging station. WEICHAI Power will showcase 18 core exhibits, presenting a complete diversified power product matrix. HanDe Axle will feature 6 specialized axle assemblies, adaptable to various commercial scenarios and catering to both conventional and new energy markets. The collective appearance of these full-chain products vividly demonstrates the group's strategic evolution from product export to deep industrial cultivation.

　　Conclusion:

　　On the international stage of Hanover, Shandong Heavy Industry will compete in the global market with hardcore technology, comprehensive solutions, and a mature ecosystem. It will continue to polish the reputation of Chinese high-end equipment manufacturing, showcasing the global strength and responsibility of "Intelligent Manufacturing in China."
