Driven by the dual carbon target, a green revolution about heavy equipment is quietly taking place. From the colossal structures deep in the mines to the towering construction sites in cities, the transformation of power is far more rapid than imagined. Recently, ZOOMLION was officially registered and established, which is not only a key leap for Zoomlion in the field of new energy, but also an important milestone for it to push green power from concept to large-scale commercialization based on years of technological accumulation. This new company, fully owned by Hunan Zoomlion New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., has a business scope spanning battery manufacturing, emerging energy technology research and development, energy storage technology services, and sales of station hydrogen refueling and storage facilities, targeting the core pain points of green construction machinery.

Breakthrough in Lithium Battery Technology in Depth

In the application of lithium-ion batteries, ZOOMLION is no longer simply a "copycat". Relying on a mature technological foundation, the enterprise has successfully connected the complete technology chain from electronic control, telegraph, electric drive, battery, chassis to the whole machine. This full stack self-developed capability has directly given rise to multiple benchmark products that have attracted industry attention.

Whether it's the world's largest 300 ton hybrid mining truck galloping in the mining area, the world's largest hybrid tractor with 700 horsepower of powerful power, or the flexible and efficient pure electric off-road crane, these "big guys" are leveraging their excellent performance and low energy consumption advantages to move from major domestic project sites to overseas international markets, becoming mobile Chinese intelligent manufacturing business cards. By the end of 2025, ZOOMLION's new energy products on sale have expanded to 240, covering the entire range of host products and meeting the green operation needs in different scenarios.

Hydrogen energy chain closed-loop forming

If lithium batteries are the main force at present, then hydrogen energy is the key strategy for Zoomlion's future layout. Unlike single product research and development, Zoomlion has chosen a more difficult but potentially huge path - to build a full chain solution of "hydrogen production hydrogenation storage and transportation fuel power host". This move has completely opened up the closed loop for the landing of the hydrogen energy industry.

At present, the enterprise has taken the lead in completing the development and verification of five categories of complete machines, including hydrogen fuel pump trucks, mining trucks, mixer trucks, cranes, and forklifts. In the vast mining areas of Inner Mongolia, busy construction sites in Henan, green ports in Zhejiang, and specific scenarios in Xinjiang, Yunnan, and other places, these equipment carrying "zero emission" hearts have been successfully applied, not only verifying the reliability of the technology, but also relying on a global marketing network, beginning to emerge in overseas markets.

Green map accelerates expansion

With the establishment of Hunan Zoomlion New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., ZOOMLION's new energy strategy has gained more solid physical support. This not only means the autonomy and controllability of key components, but also marks the entry of diversified collaborative strategies by enterprises in various forms of power such as hybrid, pure electric, hydrogen fuel, as well as multiple energy replenishment methods such as battery swapping and plug-in. From lithium batteries to hydrogen energy, from single products to the entire industry chain ecosystem, ZOOMLION is accelerating the large-scale landing of the green and low-carbon industry of construction machinery through the dual wheel drive of technological innovation and industrial integration, and seizing the high ground of green development in the global competition for high-end equipment manufacturing.Editor/Yang Meiling
