The popularity of the 2023 Spring Festival movie "The Wandering Earth 2" has remained high since it was released on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
In the movie, a series of visual wonders such as the "space elevator" that traverses the world, the thrilling "air combat confrontation", and the galloping "construction machinery" were intensively projected, which aroused heated discussions among the audience.
Guo Fan, the director of the film, said that in "The Wandering Earth 2", many of the mobile, operable, and deformable UEG Earth United Government machinery and equipment come from Xugong Group, a leader in China's construction machinery industry.
According to reports, XCMG has become a special "actor" in the film with its complete equipment support programs for lifting, earthwork, roads, high altitude, sanitation, safety and emergency rescue.
"I can't wait to tell you about XCMG. The Iron Mantis we used in our filming is a realistic version of Transformers. During the whole filming period, we saw many real sci-fi and real industries in XCMG. I feel sincerely Proud, because our own people made these!" Guo Fan said.
XCMG Group is a leading enterprise in the domestic construction machinery industry, and XCMG Machinery (000425) is its core enterprise. Its business covers lifting machinery, scraper machinery, compaction machinery, road machinery, piling machinery, fire protection machinery, sanitation machinery and other construction machinery R&D, manufacturing, sales and service work.
The latest Yellow Table list released by KHL, a global construction machinery information provider, shows that among the top 50 global construction machinery OEMs in 2021, XCMG ranked third in the world and first in China with sales of US$18.1 billion.
Ma Ming, the on-site executive director of the Wandering Earth Project of XCMG Group and deputy secretary of the Party Committee of XCMG Transmission, introduced: "In the past half a year, XCMG has successively invested in 42 models of 61 main equipment, more than 400 sets of parts and workshop props, 61 sets of 3D models, and 319 workers. Personnel, in terms of time, painting, equipment, personnel, logistics, on-site execution and other aspects, do a good job in resource allocation and guarantee for "The Wandering Earth 2"."
For example, the multi-terrain intelligent emergency rescue platform with four outriggers in the film - XCMG ET120, also known as "Steel Mantis", has 18 hydraulic cylinders, which can support it to walk on the ground in complex terrain such as mountains, swamps, and tunnels. The working machine implements fire extinguishing, logging, cutting, piling and other operations. It is suitable for emergency rescue after disasters such as avalanches, earthquakes, landslides, and barrier lakes. .
In addition, based on complex application scenarios such as high cold, high heat, and high altitude, XCMG has successfully applied dozens of innovative achievements in the direction of intelligence, greenness, and high-end development in "The Wandering Earth 2". Energy equipment accounts for more than one-third of the overall equipment.
The participation of these super equipment guarantees the ultra-extreme shooting quality and demonstrates China's industrial manufacturing level.
The equipment manufacturing industry is an important weapon of the country and an important part of the real economy.
Over the past ten years, my country's equipment manufacturing industry has made historic achievements, and the scale of the industry has continued to expand.
According to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, from 2012 to 2021, the added value of my country's equipment industry will increase by an average of 8.2% annually. By the end of 2021, there will be 105,100 enterprises above designated size in the equipment industry, an increase of nearly 45.30% over 2012; total assets, operating income, and total profits Respectively reached 28.83 trillion yuan, 26.47 trillion yuan and 1.57 trillion yuan, an increase of 92.97%, 47.76%, and 28.84% over 2012.
Construction machinery is one of the most internationally competitive industries in China's equipment manufacturing industry.
At present, my country has formed 22 major categories of construction machinery products, becoming one of the countries with the most complete product categories and varieties.
The domestic market satisfaction rate of construction machinery has increased from less than 90% in 2012 to more than 96% at present, and the output of major products such as excavators, cranes, and loaders ranks first in the world.
In recent years, intelligence, digitization, and electrification have become high-frequency words in the transformation of the construction machinery industry. Leading construction machinery companies represented by Xugong Group and Sany Heavy Industry (600031) are leading the industry to accelerate changes.
For example, Xugong Group continues to strengthen technology integration and innovation, and has released dozens of electrified and intelligent products.
Sany Heavy Industry continues to promote the construction of smart lighthouse factories while promoting electrification to the company's strategic height, and comprehensively assists the intelligent transformation of construction machinery.
