On November 8, 2025, the 17th China Industrial Design Week, hosted by the China Industrial Design Association under the theme "Design · Smart Scenery," opened at the Suzhou Qingtai International Industrial Design Village. The jointly submitted entries "55-Ton Ultra-High-Load New Energy Counterbalanced Forklift" and "i-series AGV" both won first prize in the competition, thanks to their outstanding innovative design and market application value.

The 55-ton ultra-heavy-duty lithium-battery forklift, under the global new energy transition and the "dual carbon" goals, adopts the new concept of "green load-bearing, intelligent efficiency." It solves the problems of low logistics efficiency, high energy consumption, and insufficient safety when carrying heavy loads, injecting strong momentum into the greening and intelligentization of ultra-high-load new energy forklifts worldwide.

The i-series AGV is a smart and efficient AGV unmanned forklift built to develop the new intelligent and green industry. It has formed a full AGV product series of 8 major categories and 22 varieties, covering multiple application scenarios such as logistics handling, storage, retrieval, picking, receiving, dispatching, and replenishment. The HELI i-series AGV is becoming a key force for HELI in expanding into global markets and driving "intelligent logistics going global," helping enterprises worldwide achieve intelligent upgrading and green sustainable development of their logistics systems.

This competition is co-hosted by the China Industrial Design Association and the Japan Industrial Design Association, with "Digital-Intelligent Renewal · Cultural Symbiosis" as its core theme. It is dedicated to using "technological innovation" and "cultural creativity" as twin engines to promote the deep integration of industrial design and the real economy, lead industrial design toward a more scientific, standardized, and international direction, and inject sustained and strong momentum into global industrial upgrading.

This award stems from HELI's forward-looking construction of a "dual-track domestic and international drive" R&D integration. Relying on its own R&D platform for collaborative innovation, HELI uses users as its anchor to capture precise frontline market demands and design trends, ensuring that product design combines international foresight with industrialization feasibility and forging the company's core competitive advantage.

Achievements belong to the past; striving is but the prologue! Relying on its National-Level Industrial Design Center, HELI focuses on "greening, intelligentization, and high-endization" to craft every product into a market masterpiece. It persists in product-oriented innovative design for domestic and international markets and future-oriented exploration of conceptual innovation to provide users with high-quality services. This is not only a commitment to quality but also a solid march toward internationalization with an international design language and vision.
