Sany Group: 'Tri-Transformation' Fosters New Productive Forces, Future of Trad
August 08,2026
On August 4th, "Hunan News Broadcast" featured a special report titled "Sany Group: 'Three Transformations' Cultivate New Quality Productivity, Traditional Industries Have a Promising Future" with over 5 minutes of extensive coverage, showcasing Sany Group's in-depth implementation of globalization, digitalization, and low-carbon strategies, accelerating technological innovation and industrial upgrading, and nurturing new quality productivity in practice and achievements.
Sany Group is an equipment manufacturing enterprise that has grown locally in Hunan. In recent years, the company has focused on the three major strategic transformations of "globalization, digitalization, and low carbon" to rise against the trend during the industry's adjustment cycle.
Last month, Sany Group's Sany Heavy Duty Trucks SE636 pure electric heavy-duty truck achieved the fastest lap time of 2 minutes and 43 seconds at the Zhuzhou Hunan International Circuit, securing the world's first extreme certification for electric heavy-duty trucks on an international racetrack. This year, Sany Heavy Duty Trucks introduced the world's first dual-motor technology without power interruption, with two motors alternating gear shifts, increasing continuous climbing performance by 33%, solving the long-standing pain point of "gear shift jerkiness and easy slipping" when electric heavy-duty trucks climb hills under heavy loads. In addition, Sany Heavy Duty Trucks also set a Guinness World Record for a single charge range of 817.5 kilometers.
Liu Jiang, R&D Manager at Sany Heavy Duty Trucks Technology Research Institute: Long-haul transportation has high requirements for vehicle timeliness, reliability, and safety. Through extreme track testing and optimization, it can be verified that Sany Heavy Duty Trucks can run faster, more steadily, and more safely.
Inside the Changsha Sany Intelligent Heavy Duty Trucks Industrial Park, blue electric heavy-duty trucks neatly drive off the production line, with a new vehicle coming off the line every 6 minutes. In the first half of the year, the cumulative sales of Sany's new energy heavy-duty trucks exceeded 20,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 60%. It is hard to imagine that five years ago, this place was going through a difficult decision akin to a heroic amputation.
In 2017, when Sany Heavy Duty Trucks was established, relying on the group's construction machinery manufacturing heritage, the diesel heavy-duty trucks sold out 500 units within 53 seconds of going online and gradually gained a foothold in the traditional heavy-duty truck market. When the diesel business was thriving, Sany Group issued an order: to stop the production and development of domestic fuel vehicles and to fully bet on electric heavy-duty trucks. This decision sparked huge controversy within the company.
Xiang Wenbo, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Sany Group: Many people did not understand, but a new trend has emerged, electrification is a clear future, so the chairman's determination at the time was very difficult, and now it seems very correct.
The transformation of large equipment manufacturing enterprises is like an "elephant turning around," and Sany is no exception. At the beginning of the transformation, three major difficulties came head-on. The first is the technological void: Sany has been deeply involved in hydraulics and mechanical structures, but batteries, electric control, and electric drive belong to a completely new discipline, and the knowledge reserve of the original mechanical engineers is disconnected; the second is the lack of industry chain, with very few domestic适配 heavy-duty heavy-duty trucks large power motors, on-board energy storage battery supporting very few, parts suppliers can only provide passenger car accessories, unable to meet the needs of mines, construction sites heavy load, long endurance; the third is the market trust crisis, mine, port customers worry about the electric car endurance is not enough, climbing is not strong, do not want to replace the diesel heavy-duty truck in batches, orders cliff-like decline, revenue is almost halved.
Xiang Wenbo, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Sany Group: This challenge is very big, the so-called disruptive, is to start over. Our method is to learn, attract intelligence, increase R&D investment, and promote Sany's transformation and development with the determination and courage of "either turn over or capsize."
In 2023, Sany Group officially established the "globalization, digitalization, low carbon" strategy, relying on the construction machinery starting Sany, striving to enter the wind, light, storage, hydrogen and other new energy fields. Unremitting persistence will eventually be rewarded. In the first half of this year, under the pressure of adjustment in the construction machinery industry, Sany Group delivered an impressive report card.
