XUZHOU, China, Feb. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

XCMG, leading construction machinery manufacturer (000425.SZ) has officially

launched X-Creator Challenge, the third and upgraded edition of the "XCMG Cup"

Green Innovation Design Competition, which is composed of two competition

categories – intelligent road emergency equipment design and geological

disaster rescue equipment design.

Both categories of the X-Creator Challenge call for groundbreaking equipment

design ideas to aid emergency and disaster relief/rescue missions after

earthquakes, landslides, mudslides as well as production accidents, especially

utilizing intelligent technologies to save life in urgent situations.

Modification suggestions under the two categories are also encouraged to submit

for prize winning.

"In 2020 alone, natural disasters affected approximately 138 million people in

China so quickly finding solutions to bottleneck problems in disaster relief

and rescue is of the utmost importance. New technologies such as 5G,

modularized multi-functional emergency rescue equipment, quick

disassembly/assembly of equipment as well as remote control are undoubtedly the

key to further development," said Xiaodong Xu, Deputy GM of XCMG Fire-fighting

Safety Equipment.

Participants from around the world are now welcome to upload their designs

online until June. In addition to financial awards and scholarships,

first-prize winners will be given opportunities to carry out their project with

universities or enterprises. Excellent contestants from the preliminary rounds

may receive an interview invitation from XCMG, and exceptional winners may even

receive offers to join the XCMG team.

X-Creator has set an industrial transformation funding pool totaling 10 million

yuan (US$ 1.55 million). In addition to complete solution and equipment

designs, excellent product and function optimization feedback submitted by

international participants will also be considered for awards.

Launched in 2016, the XCMG Cup competition is part of XCMG's 14 precisely

positioned global public welfare projects and a major breakthrough of the

traditional R&D model to promote technological innovation and encourage young

talents to push forward the sustainable development of the industry.

Multiple concepts and innovative ideas from previous competitions have been

applied in product design and development, including the compact low-noise,

high-efficacy fan project from the first XCMG Cup, the multi-functional,

green-powered small excavator design in the second year among others.
