XCMG’s diverse product portfolio is industry-leading in terms of coverage. Through its unwavering glocal strategy, XCMG’s international influence continues to grow. The company has already launched KD factory production in the Middle East and Africa, advancing from simple trade export to deep localization and integration within these regions.
In 2024 alone, XCMG’s new energy heavy truck sales reached 14,400 units, maintaining the highest total sales and market share in the industry for the second consecutive year.
