"It's shocking, China's 'intelligent manufacturing' is beyond imagination!" On November 28, an overseas merchant who had visited the Zoomlion Smart City exclaimed. During the Bauma Exhibition 2024, Zoomlion chartered a special flight to invite more than 300  merchants from more than 30 countries to Changsha to visit the Zoomlion Smart City, a hub of intelligent manufacturing.

The merchants who arrived in Changsha came from the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Europe, North America, Australia, New Zealand, and other regions. Many of them came to China and walked into China's advanced factories for the first time, transforming their perceptions and impressions of China's manufacturing sector.

In the Zoomlion Smart City, modern scenes such as bright and tidy production lines, orderly and coordinated industrial robots, and logistics trolleys with automatic shuttle operation came into view, amazing the overseas merchants. "Everything I see here is very different from what I have learned about in the past. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I couldn't believe that China's level of intelligent manufacturing has become so advanced," sighed Fuat Tastan, a world-renowned construction constructor and president of Türkiye's Dekinsan Group.

At present, all four main machinery parks of the Zoomlion Smart City have been completed and put into operation, producing one excavator every 6 minutes on average, one scissor-lift every 7.5 minutes, one crane every 18 minutes, and one boom-pump truck every 27 minutes.

Bauma China 2024, a global event in the construction machinery industry, was held in Shanghai from November 26 to 29. Zoomlion brought nine categories of major products to the exhibition, on its largest-ever scale. Its construction crane products are completely innovative, with the world's largest folding-boom crane and the world's largest distributed electric-powered crawler-crane as the spotlight of the exhibition.

With the expansion of Zoomlion's global market, this year the number of overseas merchants visiting smart factories and production lines in Zoomlion Smart City increased by 10 times compared with previous years, with nearly 2,000 visits. The company's overseas revenue has grown rapidly for three consecutive years.
