In Hanoi, Vietnam, in July 2026, it was not just the weather that was hot. When Wang Zhijian, Chairman of the Board of Shandong Heavy Industry, along with nearly 1,600 partners from 62 countries worldwide, jointly released the "Initiative to Co-create a New Ecosystem for the Green Intelligent Equipment Industry", a clear signal was sent to the world: In the next five to ten years, the development trend of the global equipment manufacturing industry lies in Hanoi, Vietnam.
This global partner conference and green intelligent product exhibition, themed "Technology Empowering Beautiful Equipment", is the first international event held overseas by Shandong Heavy Industry in the fields of new energy and digital intelligence. In a 26,000-square-meter exhibition area, 13 major brands and 145 sets (pieces) of high-end products made their debut, covering full-scenario applications such as smart logistics, smart mines, smart construction, smart agriculture, and green energy — this is no longer a simple product exhibition, but a "comprehensive review of industrial capability" of China's high-end equipment manufacturing industry facing the world.
Spent 40 years in Vietnam, Shandong Heavy Industry treats this place as a second home
Placing such a heavyweight global premiere in Vietnam was by no means accidental. This year marks the 80th anniversary of Weichai, the core power brand under Shandong Heavy Industry, and also the 40th anniversary of Weichai serving the Vietnamese market. Over the past four decades, Weichai has deeply integrated into local industrial development, with power product sales in Vietnam exceeding 160,000 units, firmly holding the top position in Vietnam's bus power, ship power, and other sectors. Behind these numbers is the deep binding between Shandong Heavy Industry and the Vietnamese market for nearly four decades — it is not a short-term harvest of "doing the market, selling products", but truly taking root in this land, accompanying Vietnamese customers through entrepreneurship and growth.
But the reasons for choosing Vietnam go far beyond historical ties. Southeast Asia is one of the regions with the fastest growth in global new energy commercial vehicles, and countries such as Vietnam, Indonesia, and Thailand are introducing clean freight support policies in dense succession, while local charging infrastructure is not yet perfect. A single pure electric route may be unsuitable here; multi-technology combinations such as hybrid, alternative fuel, and microgrids find their place — and this is exactly the field Weichai has cultivated for many years. Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Vietnam, Zhang Qinghuai, said in his address at the conference that the new technology solutions demonstrated by Shandong Heavy Industry correspond exactly to Vietnam's urgent needs in three directions: green transportation, digital transformation, and improving the quality of logistics infrastructure.
A deeper consideration lies in the significance of the strategic fulcrum. Starting from Astana in 2023, to Dubai, Jakarta, Mexico City, and then gathering globally in Qingdao, every switch of venue for Shandong Heavy Industry's Global Partner Conference corresponds to a clear strategic judgment. Now arriving in Hanoi, Vietnam, targeting the huge potential for new energy development in Southeast Asia. This is not only a strategic move by Shandong Heavy Industry to "deeply cultivate Southeast Asia and radiate globally", but also a key step in its transformation from "product going global" to "industry taking root".
Don't put all eggs in one basket, Shandong Heavy Industry brought all five technology routes here
If summarized in one sentence, the core message of this exhibition is: Shandong Heavy Industry does not bet on a single technology route, it bets on "having it all". The exhibition site specially established five core technology zones: pure electric, hybrid, proton exchange membrane fuel cell, alternative fuel internal combustion engine, and intelligent driving assistance system. The power core of these five technology routes can almost be seen with Weichai's presence — from traditional power such as diesel and gas to pure electric, hybrid, hydrogen energy, SOFC and alternative fuels, Weichai has established a complete power system layout covering diverse energy sources.
This is not a simple technology display, but a technology map covering all energy possibilities from "today" to "the day after tomorrow". The pure electric full-chain layout has achieved mass production and vehicle mounting; the WP3NNG natural gas range extender raises comprehensive range to over 1,000 kilometers in "short-distance pure electric, long-distance range extension" mode; the WEF300 hydrogen fuel cell engine is equipped with 49-ton class heavy trucks, adapting to long-distance trunk lines and port container transport scenarios; the Weichai WP15DI hydrogen internal combustion engine is the world's first product of its kind to pass China's National VI certification; unmanned mining achieves centimeter-level precise parking. In the distributed energy field, Weichai's independently developed SOFC solid oxide fuel cell products have achieved commercial application of 100kW products, accumulating nearly 70,000 hours of stable operation, becoming the core support for the group's power energy sector.
This confidence of "having it all" comes from Shandong Heavy Industry's systematic construction of core competitive advantages in the new energy industry chain. Taking Weichai as the technical foundation, from power batteries to complete vehicles and machines, from core three-electric systems to intelligent networking, this 600-billion multinational group has completed a complete industrial closed loop from diversified integrated power systems to full-scenario complete vehicles and machines. Among them, Weichai independently developed M series large cylinder diameter power generation products, the world's first 5-megawatt high-speed diesel power generating set 20M61, etc., have also become technical barrier-level products for the group's power energy sector.
Data is the best proof: In the first half of 2026, Shandong Heavy Industry's domestic new energy business revenue reached 24.4 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 57%. The new energy heavy trucks sales of Sinotruk under the group increased by 141% year-on-year, market share continues to climb, successfully jumping to the top of the industry. Currently, the global equipment industry is at a double turning point of energy transformation and intelligent upgrade, and the single electrification route is difficult to adapt to the differentiated needs of different regions and operating conditions globally. The answer given by Shandong Heavy Industry is a full-cycle power ecology covering "traditional low carbon, new energy transition, ultimate zero carbon, intelligent empowerment" — from Weichai's diversified power systems to full-scenario adaptation of complete vehicles and machines, constituting a complete closed loop interlinked step by step.
More notably, these technologies are not stuck on PPTs in the laboratory. Shacman heavy trucks equipped with Weichai WP13NG were delivered in batches to Nigeria's top FMCG logistics carriers; 4,950 buses equipped with Weichai WP8H, WP10 engines were delivered to Algeria, setting a new local record for bus power equipment batches; in the Brazilian market, heavy trucks equipped with Weichai WP15NG were delivered to customers in batches, becoming customers' first choice — behind each product is hardcore strength that has been widely verified by the global market. The market share of Weichai engines in Brazil and Africa continues to rise, and Weichai power systems are being tested and winning trust in every corner of the world.
Not only selling cars and engines, Shandong Heavy Industry is starting to "hand over the keys" in Vietnam
In traditional cognition, Chinese manufacturing going overseas is often equated with "cost-effectiveness" and "complete machine sales". But the Hanoi conference this time by Shandong Heavy Industry revealed a completely different narrative.
Weichai released its microgrid solution for the first time, deeply integrating mixed energy power stations, mobile photovoltaics, energy storage, storage and charging integrated machines, SOFC power generation systems, and other diverse core equipment, providing customers with low-cost, low-emission, and high-reliability one-stop closed-loop power energy services; at the same time, the mining scenario energy solution integrating "source-grid-load-storage-control" also made its debut, condensing Weichai's accumulation in the fields of power generating sets, new energy power, and intelligent control into a complete mining area energy management closed loop.
In the complete vehicle service field, Shandong Heavy Industry has built an integrated ecosystem solution of "vehicle + energy + digital + service", and in the warehousing and logistics link, its subsidiary AI intelligent warehouse uses intelligent algorithms to increase space utilization by about 30%. This is not selling a device, but delivering a system, a capability — from Weichai's power heart to the complete vehicle's intelligent brain, from single products to full-cycle services, Shandong Heavy Industry is completing the role leap from "manufacturer" to "solution provider".
Behind this "turnkey" capability is an industrial network spread across the globe. Currently, Shandong Heavy Industry has established 55 trading platform companies in 32 countries worldwide, over 60 overseas factories, and more than 2,000 employees stationed overseas. In the first half of 2026, the group's export income reached 62.4 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 33.4%.
When a company can autonomously complete full-cycle management from product definition to after-sales service overseas, what it outputs is no longer products, but a set of replicable industrial standards and a growth ecology rooted locally. As the power core of Shandong Heavy Industry's global layout, Weichai has always played the role of "technology engine" — from 160,000 power products in Vietnam to Weichai engines and power generating sets all over the world, Weichai's footprint extends in tandem with Shandong Heavy Industry's global map.
At the conference, projects such as SOFC, electric buses, electric heavy trucks, AI bulldozers, and intelligent agricultural machinery were signed in batches. The engineering machinery sector under Shandong Heavy Industry signed orders for 270 bulldozers with local agents. Behind these signings is the qualitative change of Shandong Heavy Industry and global partners upgrading from a "business field" to an "ecosystem" — a value community of co-creation, co-existence, and co-prosperity is taking shape.
The Hanoi conference is not the end, but a new starting point for Shandong Heavy Industry's "deeply cultivating Southeast Asia and radiating globally". When Europe and America are still discussing "who will pay for the transition", Shandong Heavy Industry has already packed the product matrix covering Weichai's diversified power systems and full-series new energy complete vehicles into containers.
From Astana to Hanoi, six conferences in four years, the world has seen the change in Shandong Heavy Industry. And the concentrated debut of 145 green intelligent equipment in Hanoi writes new coordinates of the leap from "Made in China" to "Created in China". The new decade of the global equipment industry, the positioning battle has begun, and Shandong Heavy Industry is already standing in the front row.
