XUZHOU, China, March 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Leading construction machinery manufacturer XCMG (000425.SZ) has sailed off more than 400 units of construction machinery equipment on February 18 from China, which will be arriving in countries of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) including Southeast Asian countries and Russia shortly.

This batch export included products of various categories including excavators, loaders, graders and cranes, will be travelling along the Maritime Silk Road to bring aid to fight the COVID-19 pandemic and help the economic recovery in those countries.

XCMG has achieved continuous success in the markets of BRI’s participating countries since 2013, providing world-class products and technical support to clients worldwide.

«In recent years, XCMG actively supports our overseas allies in speeding up their infrastructure construction. We’ve customized various solutions to suit the different working conditions of each region, while ceaselessly improving our local after-sales services by setting up professional service teams to guarantee the equipment’s smooth and reliable operation,» said Liu Jiansen, VP of XCMG and GM of XCMG Import and Export Ltd.

In the meantime, XCMG delivered 48 units of customized lorry-mounted cranes to Russia in February, which have stood out in the global market for leading quality and reliable service. In 2020, XCMG saw a 68 percent growth in the sales of lorry-mounted cranes.

The three models, SQS157ARU, SQ175ARU and SQS200ARU, are known for their high cold resistance, super-long arm lengths and super lifting capabilities. The added automatic telescopic drill pile and hanging basket also achieves multipurpose functionality.

GOTHENBURG, Sweden, March 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Volvo Cars is committed to becoming a leader in the fast-growing premium electric car market and plans to become a fully electric car company by 2030.

By then, the company intends to only sell fully electric cars and phase out any car in its global portfolio with an internal combustion engine, including hybrids.

The company’s transition towards becoming a fully electric car maker is part of its ambitious climate plan, which seeks to consistently reduce the life cycle carbon footprint per car through concrete action.

Its decision also builds on the expectation that legislation as well as a rapid expansion of accessible high quality charging infrastructure will accelerate consumer acceptance of fully electric cars.

Volvo Cars’ move towards full electrification comes together with an increased focus on online sales and a more complete, attractive and transparent consumer offer under the name Care by Volvo. All fully electric models will be available online only.

The 2030 ambition represents an acceleration of Volvo Cars’ electrification strategy, driven by strong demand for its electrified cars in recent years and a firm conviction that the market for combustion engine cars is a shrinking one.

«To remain successful, we need profitable growth. So instead of investing in a shrinking business, we choose to invest in the future – electric and online,» said Håkan Samuelsson, chief executive. «We are fully focused on becoming a leader in the fast-growing premium electric segment.»

Volvo Cars launched its first fully electric car, the XC40 Recharge, in markets around the globe last year. Later today the company will reveal its second fully electric car, a new model in the 40 Series.

In coming years Volvo Cars will roll out several additional electric models, with more to follow. Already by 2025, it aims for 50 per cent of its global sales to consist of fully electric cars, with the rest hybrids. By 2030, every car it sells should be fully electric.

«There is no long-term future for cars with an internal combustion engine,» said Henrik Green, chief technology officer. «We are firmly committed to becoming an electric-only car maker and the transition should happen by 2030. It will allow us to meet the expectations of our customers and be a part of the solution when it comes to fighting climate change.»
