Sany’s 12-Year Steady Layout—Unnoticed Yet Pivotal!

In recent years, Sany Heavy Industry has elevated electrification to the height of its group strategy, fully advancing the electrification transformation of engineering machinery products and striving to build electrified products with high quality, low power consumption and an exceptional user experience. This effortless mastery of electrification now makes us realize that Sany has been laying out its new energy strategy with 12 years of profound accumulation. We welcome your thoughts and insights in the comments section. Starting in 2012, Sany has leveraged its formidable strength to launch nearly 100 electrified products one after another, including concrete pump trucks, excavators, cranes, mixers and dump trucks. These products cover multiple energy supplement routes such as pure electric, battery swap and hydrogen fuel, demonstrating its long-term vision in the new energy sector. In 2023, Sany further accelerated the rollout of electrified products, launching more than 30 new energy models throughout the year. Through independent R&D and strategic external cooperation, it achieved breakthroughs in core components and technologies such as excavator motor cores and VCU integrated control platforms. In addition, Sany has strengthened its R&D and market layout in the electrification field by establishing a number of subsidiaries and research institutes. The founding of Sany Lithium Energy marked Sany’s in-depth layout in the lithium battery and energy storage sectors. By the end of last year, Sany Heavy Industry had a team of over 5,000 R&D personnel, fully supporting its digital, intelligent and electrified development. In terms of market performance, Sany’s electrified products have not only achieved remarkable results in the domestic market but also actively expanded into the international market. Rejecting the low-price competition strategy, Sany adheres to the essence of product development and enhances market competitiveness by improving energy cost efficiency, intelligentization level and operational comfort. At present, Sany’s electrified products such as electric cranes and new energy heavy-duty trucks have taken a leading position in the market. This is the world’s first road-legal pure electric mobile crane, which won the New Energy Gold Award at the 2022 China Construction Machinery Annual Product TOP50. Adopting pure electric drive technology, it features low noise, precise operation, and low usage and maintenance costs. This loader won the New Energy Application Practice Gold Award at the 2023 China Construction Machinery Annual Product TOP50. With a rated load of 5.8 tons, it is equipped with a self-developed VCU control system and electric drive powertrain, boasting a strong battery life. Sany’s new energy mixers have achieved outstanding sales performance in the market and taken a leading position in multiple niche markets. For example, the iONTRON408P shown in the picture is China’s first electric engineering vehicle product to obtain market access to Europe. This is the world’s first fully electronically controlled 300-ton large excavator. Powered by a high-voltage AC power supply and a high-power motor, it drastically reduces energy consumption costs and is equipped with a number of industry-leading intelligent technologies. Sany Heavy Industry’s layout in the new energy engineering machinery field not only reflects its acute insight into industry trends but also demonstrates its strong strength in technological innovation and market development. In the future, with the launch and application of more electrified products, Sany Heavy Industry is expected to continue leading the industry’s electrification trend and driving the green transformation and sustainable development of the engineering machinery industry.
