The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposes to focus on the development of the real economy, promote new industrialization, and create a strong manufacturing country, a strong quality country, a strong aerospace country, a strong transportation country, a strong network country, and a digital China. Engineering machinery is an important indicator to measure a country's industrialization level. Driven by the national "dual carbon" policy, the construction machinery industry is accelerating its transformation and upgrading towards electrification and greenery, which is expected to create new demand for equipment substitution. At the same time, 5G, big data, and the industrial internet are driving the high-quality development of construction machinery. Companies such as XCMG, Sany, and Zoomlion Heavy Industries are actively exploring cutting-edge technologies such as unmanned driving, intelligent manufacturing, and new energy, stimulating green and digital innovation, and seizing new heights in the market.
At the meeting, Liu Liwei, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and General Manager of Beijing Zhuozhong Publishing Co., Ltd., delivered a speech. He said: In recent years, the electric, digital, and intelligent technologies in China's automotive industry have developed rapidly, and intelligent connected vehicles are integrating various revolutionary technologies such as the Internet, big data, and artificial intelligence. At the same time, the construction machinery industry, which is also a manufacturing field, is also developing rapidly and synchronously.
Promoting green, low-carbon, digital, and intelligent development is a broad and profound economic and social systemic transformation. In order to achieve a comprehensive transformation of the manufacturing industry, colleagues from all walks of life are constantly seeking, accumulating, and gathering momentum. The "Green and Intelligent Development Forum for Construction Machinery" hosted by the First Construction Machinery Network has also emerged in response to this trend.
Greenization, digitization, and intelligence, seizing opportunities for industrial transformation
Di Pengyuan, Secretary General of the Dual Carbon Work Committee of the China Construction Machinery Industry Association, delivered a keynote speech on "Dual Carbon Work Tasks and Prospects in the Construction Machinery Industry". He pointed out that the world is currently in an important historical period of transition from high carbon to low-carbon and net zero carbon. The comprehensive layout of the "dual carbon" strategy, achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality, is an inherent requirement for China to achieve sustainable and high-quality development.
Faced with the opportunities and challenges in industrial transformation, guests attending the meeting spoke and participated in the discussion. At present, most construction machinery is powered by fossil fuels, accounting for about one-third of the country's annual diesel consumption and carbon emissions of about 200 million tons. At the same time, the remanufacturing industry has not formed a scale after several years and has not effectively solved the problem of reusing scrapped machines. Therefore, promoting technological innovation and green and low-carbon transformation of the construction machinery industry to achieve the "dual carbon" goals and tasks is an inherent requirement and historical opportunity for the high-quality development of the industry.
In addition to carbon reduction, the green development of construction machinery industry should also change traditional fossil fuels in energy structure. It should gradually reduce and introduce renewable energy according to the plan, actively explore technological routes such as hybrid power and low-carbon fuels, and promote sustainable development of the industry. The attending guests unanimously agreed that China's construction machinery has successfully reached its peak on the high-quality development path represented by green and digital transformation.
When it comes to the topic of charging, exchanging, and electrolysis solutions for construction machinery, it has become a consensus that the biggest challenge faced by current electrification of construction machinery is energy supply, and how to ensure sustainable power supply in application scenarios is a major challenge faced by various enterprises. Everyone has expressed that a comprehensive energy supply product matrix should be constructed, combining output light, storage, charging, exchange, and delivery into a comprehensive energy supply solution to achieve more scene coverage. By combining "suitable for charging", "suitable for replacement", and "combination of charging, replacement, and delivery", we aim to break through the limitations of electrification application scenarios for construction machinery.
Focusing on industry low-carbon, digital intelligence technology, and digital operation management solutions
Wang Jinxing, Deputy Secretary General of the China Construction Machinery Industry Association and Secretary General of the Industrial Internet Branch, shared his many views and insights on the "Digital and Intelligent Development of China's Construction Machinery Industry". As a traditional industry, the development direction of construction machinery in the future is definitely towards digitization, informatization, and intelligence. Especially for companies such as XCMG, Sany, and Zoomlion Heavy Industries that deeply integrate with the industrial internet, they not only have their own industrial internet platforms, but also have many unique features, such as 5G remote control, unmanned driving, lighthouse factories, etc. They are at the forefront of the industry in data collection, transmission, and application.
He also pointed out that top enterprises should leverage their research and development advantages, conduct in-depth research on their own unique technologies, increase the deep integration of digitization, intelligence, and the industry, continuously carry out technological iteration and upgrading, improve the overall level, and better play a leading role in the industry.
The attending guests expressed that the future development of construction machinery will definitely be towards the direction of "high-end, intelligent, and green". Especially in the production process of engineering machinery, the application of robots is rapidly applied to various production processes with the continuous advancement of intelligent manufacturing, improving labor productivity and meeting higher user needs. Therefore, construction machinery manufacturing enterprises are facing a significant transformation in production and manufacturing, with opportunities and challenges coexisting.
A guest suggested that the industry should gradually promote the application of digital and intelligent products in actual construction. In large-scale construction projects such as smart mines and highways, the application of digital and intelligent products is also increasing. The country should introduce more relevant policies to strengthen guidance and encourage the promotion and application of new technologies, standards, methods, and processes. At the same time, it is even more necessary to strengthen the protection mechanism of intellectual property rights and increase support for the cultivation of relevant talents, which is also the basic guarantee for achieving sustainable development of the industry.
