On July 21-22, 2026, the Shandong Heavy Industry Global Partner Conference and Green Intelligent Product Exhibition will be held grandly at the Vietnam National Convention and Exhibition Center (VEC). Shandong Heavy Industry is a leading high-end equipment multinational group in China with significant global influence. The sales of heavy-duty trucks, heavy-duty engines, and heavy-duty transmissions rank first in the world, while industrial forklifts and luxury yachts lead the world. The sales of agricultural equipment and bulldozers rank first in China.  

At this global cooperation conference, 13 brands under Shandong Heavy Industry, including Weichai, China National Heavy Duty Truck Group, Shaanxi Heavy Duty Truck Group, German Kaiao, Shantui Co., Ltd., Weichai Lovol Smart Agriculture, Zhongtong Bus, Fast, Hande Axle, Lovol Heavy Industry, Yaxing Bus, Weichai New Energy Commercial Vehicle, and Zhuzhou Gear, jointly appeared. At that time, 1577 guests from 62 countries and regions around the world will gather in Hanoi. This is the first international conference in the field of new energy and digitalization held by Shandong Heavy Industry overseas, and also the largest global partner conference currently held overseas.

How can a 600 billion multinational corporation take it to the next level? Shandong Heavy Industry has given the answer, comprehensively accelerating the transformation of its green, global, digital, and ecological strategies, and accelerating the construction of a high-tech, green development, and world-class high-end equipment multinational group. The theme of this conference is "Empowering Equipment with Technology for a Better Future", closely focusing on the two main lines of "green" and "intelligence". It showcases 145 high-end products including new energy commercial vehicles, engineering machinery, smart agriculture equipment, smart warehousing equipment, new energy powertrains, and power energy equipment, covering multiple application scenarios such as smart logistics, smart passenger transportation, smart mining, smart construction, smart agriculture, and green energy. It showcases new energy scenario based application cases that have landed globally, and specially sets up Weichai's five major technology route exhibition areas to systematically present the group's hardcore strength from technology to ecology.

Behind each "green" and "intelligent" exhibit is Shandong Heavy Industry's firm pace of accelerating the transformation of its new energy strategy, and more importantly, the concentrated release of the group's industrial chain advantages - collaborating with the resources of the entire group and upstream and downstream partners of the industrial chain to jointly enhance the level of technological innovation and product market competitiveness, and accelerate the high-quality development of global green and intelligent manufacturing. As one of the few equipment manufacturing groups in the world that simultaneously possesses the core competitive advantages of the "traditional energy+new energy+intelligent networking" technology chain, Shandong Heavy Industry is committed to providing high-end intelligent equipment and smart solutions for all scenario needs. This conference is not only a panoramic review of the full chain capability from research and development, intelligent manufacturing to going global, but also provides the most intuitive display stage for the coordinated operation of the "group army".  

The conference is not the end, but a new starting point for Shandong Heavy Industry to deepen its cultivation in Southeast Asia and radiate globally. In recent years, Shandong Heavy Industry has been leading the transformation of its globalization strategy, continuously optimizing its global business layout, accelerating overseas localization, and promoting the integrated operation of all elements of the "research, production, supply, marketing, service, and finance brand", making it a well-known Chinese manufacturing brand in the global market. In the first half of 2026, the group's export revenue was 62.4 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 33.4%, with significant growth achieved in the Middle East and Africa region, Asia Pacific region, Americas region, and Europe region. China National Heavy Duty Truck Group's exports of heavy-duty trucks have consistently ranked first in the industry.  

Behind the impressive results is the continuous accumulation of Shandong Heavy Industry's global layout. At present, Shandong Heavy Industry has over 300 overseas offices, more than 1000 marketing channels, 55 trading platform companies in 32 countries, and more than 60 global overseas factories (including KD factories), achieving localized assembly and manufacturing in over 30 countries worldwide. More than 2000 employees are stationed overseas, and a global network system has been established among its subsidiaries. Its products have been exported to more than 170 countries and regions worldwide. From product going global to industrial chain going global, from traditional manufacturing to green and intelligent, from a single buying and selling model to product lifecycle services, this is not only the globalization, greening, digitalization, and ecological transformation path of Shandong Heavy Industry, but also a vivid epitome of the growth of world-class high-end manufacturing enterprises.  

Why did Shandong Heavy Industry, the largest overseas event of the global green and intelligent transformation wave, land in Vietnam? Why has green intelligence become a core proposition? The answer lies in the group's strategic layout for the Southeast Asian market and long-term considerations for the green track. And Hanoi is another stop for Shandong Heavy Industry to submit its answer sheet. How will the new ecological initiative of Shandong Heavy Industry's green intelligent equipment industry lead the global equipment transformation? How will Weichai's five major technological routes reshape the global power landscape? How will China National Heavy Duty Truck Group's aftermarket application solutions enhance the overseas user experience? What are the breakthroughs in Shaanxi Heavy Duty Truck's integrated energy solution for photovoltaic storage, charging, and swapping? How does the power of wisdom define the new landscape of construction and agriculture in the future?Editor/Min Jing
