As a leading enterprise in China's equipment manufacturing industry, Shandong Heavy Industry Group continues to increase R&D investment, constantly breaks through key core technologies, and leads Chinese equipment toward world-class standards. On June 18, under the theme "Crossing Mountains and Seas · Driving the Future," Shantui Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. unveiled its brand-new brand image and AI strategy in Linyi, Shandong. Wang Zhijian, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and General Manager of Shandong Heavy Industry Group; Gou Hongshui, Member of the Standing Committee of the Linyi Municipal Party Committee and Vice Mayor; Luo Hanbin, Director of the National Digital Construction Technology Innovation Center and Academician of the Russian Academy of Engineering; and Su Zimeng, President of the China Construction Machinery Association, attended the event. Li Shizhen, Party Secretary and Chairman of Shantui, released the AI strategy to the world and comprehensively explained the new brand image and AI technology roadmap. More than 200 people, including industry experts from across the country, major clients from central and state-owned enterprises, media reporters, and representatives of well-known universities and investment institutions, together with tens of thousands watching the global live broadcast online, witnessed Shantui using its brand-new brand to define value in the AI era and achieve the industry's first magnificent transformation from "intelligent equipment" to "AI entity."

In his speech, Wang Zhijian said that Shantui, as the "chain leader" enterprise of Shandong Province's construction machinery industry chain, fully embracing the era of artificial intelligence in construction machinery is a new measure by Shandong Heavy Industry to accelerate its digital and intelligent strategic transformation. He pointed out that Shantui's release of its AI strategy oriented toward the future and the world is not only a brand-new upgrade of Shantui's brand connotation and image, but also a bold exploration of future development paths and business models. Shandong Heavy Industry will adhere to the direction of "high-end equipment + artificial intelligence," further integrate global resources, deepen industry-university-research cooperation, create value for customers, and lead China's construction machinery industry toward world-class standards.

Su Zimeng congratulated Shantui on once again taking the lead as a pioneer and opening a new chapter in AI intelligent operation engineering. He pointed out that the digital wave is reshaping the industrial landscape, and the global construction machinery industry has now entered a new stage of "digital-intelligent integration." It is necessary to use AI technology to firmly establish the safety bottom line and solve construction challenges in complex environments; use intelligent platforms to improve the efficiency of the industrial chain and promote the leap from "single-machine intelligence" to "system intelligence"; and use green innovation to respond to the "dual carbon" strategy and accelerate the development of new quality productive forces in the industry.

Wang Zhijian, Luo Hanbin, Su Zimeng, Li Shizhen, Qi Ligang, Chief Engineer of China Construction Eighth Engineering Division, and Zhang Min, General Manager of Shantui, together with other leaders and guests, pressed the launch button for Shantui's brand-new LOGO and AI strategy, announcing that Shantui has officially entered a new era of brand and technology upgrading.

Brand Reshaping: Shantui Logo Renewed and Upgraded

The brand-new Shantui logo is not only an aesthetic reconstruction, but also a redefinition of the core of the brand spirit. The new LOGO uses AI as the core design element and conveys three core concepts: first, AI is deeply integrated into the entire product line and operating system to drive the upgrade of manufacturing toward intelligence; second, the original "Golden Triangle" core, empowered by AI, has been extended to the entire product series to strengthen differentiated advantages; third, the brand's classic orange is retained to demonstrate Shantui's determination to uphold independent innovation and intelligent transformation. The new image shows the deep integration of Shantui's 73 years of development heritage with its AI strategy.

Defining the Future: Delivery of the World's First AI Bulldozer

Zhang Min solemnly handed the AI key symbolizing technology and the future to the customer, and Shantui's first AI intelligent bulldozer was officially delivered and put into use, marking Shantui's qualitative transformation from "intelligent equipment" to "AI entity." The product covers two major modules, the intelligent complete machine and the AI intelligent assistant, and has created nine major intelligent systems around customer needs, covering core scenarios such as power optimization, construction safety, and collaborative operation. Shantui's current technology has reached L3 level, and in the future it will move toward fully unmanned L5 level, committed to building a collaborative ecosystem of "AI intelligent assistant + construction fleet," driving the entire industry to bid farewell to the era of low efficiency and move toward an intelligent future.

Strengthening Foundations and Empowering: Shantui Linyi Comprehensive Test Center Put into Operation

Wang Zhijian, Gou Hongshui, Luo Hanbin, Su Zimeng, Li Shizhen, Qi Ligang, Zhang Min, and Shi Qinqing of China Communications Construction Group jointly pushed the lever to unveil the opening of the "Shantui Comprehensive Test Center." As a "comprehensive, multi-functional, and practical" test platform, Shantui has carried out modular construction in accordance with the full-process requirements of forward product R&D. It has five major functional zones (fixed test zone, load test zone, slope test zone, traction test zone, and driving test zone) as well as a maintenance workshop, and can conduct full-condition and full-process testing and verification of multiple products. Every piece of test data and every verification conclusion generated here will be transformed into more reliable and more efficient products and services that benefit global customers. The test center will become an incubation base for Shantui to continuously innovate and break through, inject a steady stream of momentum into the industry's technological development, and help Shantui continue to lead in the exploration of intelligent construction technology.

Never slacken, always stand at the forefront, and always strive for first place. Shantui will uphold the mission of "making construction simpler," take technological innovation as the engine, take excellent quality as the cornerstone, and take consistent integrity as its commitment. Together with global partners, it will cross mountains and seas and jointly open a new AI chapter in construction machinery, contributing strong "Shantui strength" to the global construction machinery market.
