CHANGSHA, China, Dec. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology Co., Ltd. ("Zoomlion"; 1157.HK)

released the latest innovative carbon fiber composite material technology and

pump truck (ZLJ5460THBSF 63X-6RZ) equipped with a carbon fiber boom on November

26 at its Lugu Industrial Park in Changsha, China.

This is the first pump truck with a carbon fiber boom completely designed and

manufactured in China. It has not only improved working efficiency and lowered

production costs through Zoomlion's independently-developed and patented carbon

fiber composite material and manufacturing technologies, but also further

enhanced its lightweight performance with an innovative carbon fiber composite

material-metal hybrid structure technology.

The weight of the boom reduced by 35 percent upon applying the hybrid structure

technology to the pump truck. The lightweight technology has enabled the 44-ton

product to reach a maximum feeding height of 63 meters making it the world's

longest boom in the same tonnage class. With a chip sensor added in the

structure, similar to "installing nerves in the bone", it offers a monitoring

and predictive function to better serve customers.

Zoomlion's pioneering technologies, such as the new carbon fiber composite

material and the world's first "hollow" boom design technology, are also of

great significance to energy conservation and emission reduction goals in the

industry. Annually producing 2,500 units of Zoomlion's Lingyun series pump

truck for example, which utilizes this new technology, can reduce steel

consumption by 750 tons and carbon dioxide emissions by 1,500 tons. Such

lightweight technologies also greatly reduce the amount of energy required

during operation.

Zoomlion has taken a comprehensive green development path and established a

green development strategy integrating green design, green manufacturing and

green management, answering to market demands of high-quality, sustainable

development from companies.

"As the world is striving to move towards carbon neutral goals, the

construction machinery industry must step up to implement green technologies

and green manufacturing with new breakthroughs that promote the green and

sustainable development of the industry chain and products," said Fu Ling,

chief engineer and vice president of Zoomlion. "Zoomlion's insistence on a

green development strategy has showcased the company's efforts and

responsibility by acting as a leader in the industry."
