On September 14–20, 2026, the Hannover International Transport Exhibition opened. Shandong Heavy Industry gathered Sinotruk, Weichai Power, and Hande Axle to exhibit jointly, centrally showcasing end-to-end innovation results in high-end, intelligent, and green development. This appearance at Hannover will witness the profound transformation of Shandong Heavy Industry's globalization layout—shifting from traditional product trade "going global" to comprehensive "deep cultivation" of the industry ecosystem, opening a new phase of high-quality development for Chinese high-end equipment brands globally.

Relying on the localized operation system and full-industry synergy advantages, Shandong Heavy Industry's overseas market growth is strong. In the first half of 2026, the group's export revenue reached 62.4 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 33.4%, with core markets such as the Middle East and Africa, Asia-Pacific, the Americas, and Europe growing synchronously, achieving breakthroughs in multiple areas across all regions.
All business segments work together to consolidate advantages: Sinotruk exported 103,000 heavy trucks in the first half of the year, a year-on-year increase of 46.5%, ranking first in industry exports for 21 consecutive years. Relying on 37 KD factories and over 700 overseas service stations, it completed the transformation from complete vehicle export to an integrated export of technology, service, and brand. Weichai Power has cultivated the overseas market for many years, with products sold in more than 150 countries and regions; overseas revenue accounts for more than 51%, and heavy engine sales remain globally number one. In the first half of this year, Weichai Power's engine export sales increased by 19% year-on-year, with frequent good news from the overseas market and green results landing in multiple places. Among them, 4,950 buses equipped with Weichai engines were successfully delivered to Algeria, setting a local support record; the Ethiopia natural gas bus project is progressing smoothly, with 1,200 natural gas power products and supporting equipment delivered successively, aiding the green transformation of local public transportation with clean energy power solutions. While outputting high-quality power products, Weichai Power continues to bring green and low-carbon solutions to the world, using core technology to assist carbon reduction and emission reduction in the transportation sectors of many countries, working together to build a sustainable global ecosystem. Hande Axle's export sales increased by 26% year-on-year in the first half of the year, and the localized operation ecosystem is becoming increasingly perfect.
Currently, the group has established 55 trade platforms in 32 countries and more than 60 overseas production and KD assembly factories, enabling localized manufacturing in more than 30 countries. Weichai Vietnam's deep operation and Sinotruk Malaysia's CKD factory, where 10,000 complete vehicles rolled off the line, have become benchmark cases for localized operations.
Full-Chain Technical Barriers: Complete Vehicles + Core Components Build Global Competitiveness
The core technological advantages of the full industry chain are the confidence of Shandong Heavy Industry in cultivating the global market. The group has connected the complete chain of complete vehicles, powertrains, core components, and new energy refueling solutions, laying out multiple technical routes including fuel, hybrid, hydrogen, and pure electric. It can output integrated customized solutions for diverse global scenarios.
At this Hannover exhibition, Sinotruk brought an iteratively upgraded Sitrak high-end commercial vehicle matrix, simultaneously exhibiting integrated energy supply stations combining wind, solar, storage, charging, and swapping; Weichai Power brought 18 core exhibits, fully presenting a diversified power product matrix; Hande Axle brought 6 dedicated axle assemblies, adapting to multi-scenario commercial needs and covering both traditional energy and new energy markets. The centralized appearance of full-chain products intuitively shows the group's strategic transformation from product export to industry deep cultivation.

Conclusion:
Based on the international stage of Hannover, Shandong Heavy Industry will compete in the global market with core technologies, complete solutions, and a mature ecosystem, continuously enhancing the brand image of Chinese high-end equipment manufacturing and demonstrating the global strength and responsibility of Chinese smart manufacturing.
