Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science and Technology Co Ltd

Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology is showcasing its embodied intelligence technologies and robotic products for industrial applications at the 2026 World Robot Conference in Beijing. The company is presenting the bipedal humanoid robot Z01, the wheeled humanoid robot Z03, and the quadrupedal robot dogs D15 and D40, along with its self-developed joint modules. Zoomlion is also featuring Robot Ops, an embodied intelligence operating system that debuted at Hannover Messe in April 2026, and ZBrain, an embodied intelligence system that enables traditional industrial robots to perform autonomous sensing, decision-making, and execution. The company has validated its robots across nearly 20 manufacturing scenarios at Zoomlion Smart City, where they have been deployed in active manufacturing environments.

During the "Vibrant China Survey Tour" Hunan stop, Jiemian News found that a group of manufacturing enterprises in Hunan are achieving industrial breakthroughs through technological innovation, globalization, and digital intelligence. Jinyang Hydrogen Energy, a subsidiary of KBC Corporation, has built a production line with an annual capacity of 300,000 square meters of carbon paper, breaking the long-term monopoly of Japan's Toray, Germany's SGL, and South Korea's JNTG, and beginning to change the bottleneck situation where the domestic substitution rate was less than 5%. Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science and Technology recorded overseas revenue of 30.515 billion yuan in 2025, up 30.52% year on year, with overseas revenue accounting for nearly 60% of the total, an increase of 7.15 percentage points from the previous year. It has about 9,000 overseas employees covering more than 170 countries. Jinshi City has gathered 41 biomanufacturing enterprises. Lier Bio achieved the world's first industrialization of glufosinate-P, and Xinhexin Bio holds nearly 70% of the global market share for corticosteroids. The local government plans to grow the biomanufacturing industry's output value to 30 billion yuan by 2030. At Zoomlion's Smart Industrial City, one excavator rolls off the production line every six minutes on average. The company has invested more than 10 billion yuan in digitalization and plans to deploy 1,000 to 2,000 embodied intelligent robots over the next five years.

The construction machinery industry cluster in Changsha is shedding its strong cyclical label through intelligent, global, and high-end transformation. In 2025, overseas revenue accounted for 58.56 percent, 64 percent, and 64.88 percent of total revenue at leading companies Zoomlion, Sany Heavy Industry, and Sunward Intelligent Equipment respectively. From January to April this year, Changsha's construction machinery exports reached 12.11 billion yuan, up 20.1 percent year on year, accounting for 91.6 percent of the province's total exports. Zoomlion's shared manufacturing smart factory for excavators rolls out one excavator every six minutes on average, with a comprehensive automation rate above 85 percent. The company plans to complete a humanoid robot factory and begin mass production within the year, while continuing to improve its overseas localization layout. In 2025, its overseas revenue reached 30.515 billion yuan, up 30.52 percent year on year.

Hunan Zoomlion New Energy Technology Company, fully owned by Zoomlion, was recently established with a registered capital of 300 million yuan. Its business scope covers charging pile sales, electric vehicle charging infrastructure operation, energy storage technology services, and sales of hydrogen refueling and storage facilities for stations.

Zoomlion's ZT82J straight-boom aerial work platform, the world's tallest in its category with a maximum working height of 82.3 meters, received an Outstanding Flagship Product Award at the company's Seventh Science and Technology Innovation Conference. Product manager He Jipeng and his team drove the project from concept to mass production, overcoming the lack of any mature industry benchmark to balance overall dimensions, total weight, and structural rigidity. The team developed a proprietary multi-edge boom cross-section and optimized telescoping configurations after more than ten rounds of simulation, ensuring vertical and lateral stiffness while meeting weight-reduction targets. They also integrated turntable and chassis optimization, precisely reinforcing weak stress points and reducing redundant steel to enhance anti-fatigue and anti-overturning performance. He Jipeng said the award recognizes the team's progress in ultra-high-reach aerial work platforms and boosts confidence to continue breaking through technical barriers.

Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology Co., Ltd. has received an Outstanding Flagship Product Award at its Seventh Science and Technology Innovation Conference for a 21-ton crawler hydraulic excavator designed specifically for the extreme heat, dust, and prolonged breaker operations common in the Middle East. The excavator was developed by a team led by Wu Baoshuo, deputy director of the Medium and Large Excavator Research Institute at Zoomlion Earthmoving Machinery Company, to handle temperatures exceeding 50 degrees Celsius and hydraulic breaker work that can account for more than 70% of operating time. Engineers redesigned the airflow layout, optimized the cooling core, strengthened structural components, and enhanced dust protection through improved air intake and cab sealing. The team validated improvements through on-site testing at customer worksites in the Middle East, collecting sensor data and completing thousands of breaker cycles, while Zoomlion's headquarters testing center supported three months of high-frequency breaker durability testing. Wu noted that the award recognizes years of customer-focused engineering and that the team will continue learning from the jobsite to build reliable equipment.

Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology hosted its seventh Science and Technology Innovation Conference on June 16, showcasing over 130 innovations in AI, intelligent equipment, green technology, and high-end manufacturing. Chairman and CEO Zhan Chunxin said the company must use AI to empower industries and accelerate its transition to a technology-driven, value-growth company. Digital, intelligent, and green products accounted for 74.5% of product sales in 2025, and the company spends about 8% of annual revenue on R&D. International revenue reached 30.5 billion yuan in 2025, roughly 59% of total sales, and Zhan outlined plans for localized overseas R&D and technical support. The conference recognized 84 achievements with total bonuses of 22 million yuan, and the Future Value Award went to ZValley for its 1.3-meter bipedal humanoid robot project.
