Boarding the world's largest rear-drive rigid mining truckwatching excavators play "football"and exploring precious relics from the Han Dynasty...Recently, the "Sister Cities Visit Jiangsu" delegationfrom European and African countries visited XuzhouMany representatives stated frankly:This trip was well worth it!

From 8 cities, 11 officials in total—visited XCMG to conduct an on-site inspection of Jiangsu Province's key industrial development under the 15th Five-Year Plan.

At the XCMG, the XDE440, the world's largest Double Axle Rigid Dump Truck, immediately caught the guests' attention.

Climbing the ladder onto the truck, Aitor Sotes, Spain, could not help but exclaim: "This piece of equipment is truly impressive. To be among the first visitors to step aboard this massive machine, I think it is quite something."

Bending over to examine the control panel, and asking in detail about its operating conditions... Sotes showed a keen interest in this "big guy"."I can feel XCMG'shardcore capabilities. I'm really looking forward to seeing it action on site."

If, the rigid dump truck showcased the "heavyweight" side of Xuzhou's manufacturing,then the next sceneshowed the guests another possibility for construction machinery.

In the demonstration area, an XE85WG wheeled excavator wrapped in football-themed livery was putting on a live "show."

It swung its bucket, precisely controlled the football, and with a clean, crisp "shot," hit the target squarely!

This "big guy," usually known for its strength, now revealed a delicate and agile side. The impressive operation drew rounds of applause from the audience.

Patrick Gituma Kigunda, Kenya, was also eager to give it a try. When the football was lifted steadily by the bucket, he gave a thumbs-up: "For a piece of construction equipment to have such precise control, it is beyond imagination."

This recognitionalso rests on the foundation of years of exchanges between Xuzhou and its sister cities in Europe and Africa. Over the years,the two sides have achieved solid practical cooperation outcomes in areas such as equipment manufacturing, mining development, cultural tourism, and talent cultivation. Xuzhou-made products such as XCMG construction machineryhave also been deeply involved in industrial development and urban development in many parts of Europe and Africa.

From construction machinery to Han culture

this trip to Xuzhou showed the representatives of European and African sister cities more possibilities

In the futurewe look forward to more exchanges and more cooperation between Xuzhou and its European and African sister cities.
