According to the source, Zoomlion's integrated self-handling supply trucks involved in the parade are new-type containerized transport vehicles integrating the functions of handling and transport. Besides pallet self-handling and transport, they can lift goods within certain range. As a new means of transport for material supply between military field depots and rear bases in China, as well as important logistics equipment, these trucks are mainly used to containerize, transport and store ammunition, and to supply military equipment.

Actually Zoomlion has operated in the military industry for many years. Several entities (departments) under Zoomlion have the qualification for military production, and some have even passed the second-class confidentiality qualification certification. Zoomlion has kept supplying military products covering a wide range of fields such as BeiDou navigation, emergency traffic and ships & warships.

For a long time, Zoomlion has been devoted to China's military industry based on its mature capacity for equipment manufacturing and deposits in technical innovation. In July 2014, the Branch and Industrialization Base of the National Emergency Transportation Equipment Engineering Research Center was established in Zoomlion. Ji Haiquan, president of the People's Liberation Army Academy of Transportation, said, "The base will accomplish civil-military integration".

Civil-Military Integration Continues to Deepen

According to an industrial expert, civil-military integration will be a future path of manufacturing transformation and upgrading. National military procurement and the reform of the military market will intensify market competition, thus creating reform dividends for both listed companies under state-owned military industry groups and private listed companies involved in military manufacturing.

At this point, Zoomlion with profound technical accumulation obviously enjoys inborn advantage. Zoomlion which has supplied military products for many years has accumulated rich experience in civil-military technical innovation. Promoting mutual support and transformation between military technologies and civil technologies, and establishing a coordinated defense technology innovation system is the unique industrial advantage of Zoomlion with the technical deposits from national research institutes.

The integrated self-handling supply trucks dispatched by Zoomlion for the parade showed Zoomlion's sophisticated technologies and leading manufacturing level, and affirms its strength in the military industry. As the 2015 Defense Industry Plan is worked out and the policies for expanding the pilot open-up of the military industry were released successively, Zoomlion with technical capacity and relevant military industry qualifications will undoubtedly get more opportunities.
