At a critical juncture as urban construction advances toward high-quality development, the highly anticipated 2025 China Municipal Innovation and Development Forum grandly opened in Hangzhou on April 24. With the theme of "Smart Empowerment · Sustainable Development," this year's forum brought together numerous authoritative experts, industry elites, and corporate representatives from across the country in fields such as municipal engineering, urban planning, and smart transportation to jointly explore innovative paths for urban construction and management and to chart a blueprint for the future development of China's municipal sector.

The forum held discussions on more than 20 topics, including scenario-based application of municipal AI large models, urban renewal, and digital twin operation and maintenance. Numerous academicians, professors, and industry experts delivered reports, sharing cutting-edge achievements in municipal transportation digitalization, intelligent construction technology, and new material applications.

Gao Liang, Deputy General Manager of XCMG Road Machinery Business Unit, delivered a speech at this industry event, noting that large-scale domestic infrastructure construction is undergoing a comprehensive transition toward "equal emphasis on construction, management, and maintenance, with maintenance as the priority." In response to new development trends, XCMG Road has taken the lead in laying out its strategy, launching a series of green, intelligent, and complete-set new energy construction equipment for municipal road construction scenarios. The XCMG new energy milling machine XM2005HEV has already been put into use in municipal construction in Hangzhou, completing pavement milling work with low noise and high efficiency and ensuring the green and environmentally friendly nature of municipal construction. Guided by the development needs of modern transportation, XCMG vigorously carries out the R&D, promotion, and application of new technologies, new materials, new processes, and new equipment to provide users with more efficient, greener, and smarter solutions.
