A few days ago, in Sany Heavy Industry's Shanghai Lingang Industrial Park, more than 7,000 square meters of open-air parking lot was lined with rows and rows of excavators.
"These are all booked, and none are left!" the salesperson said excitedly.
Since March, my country's excavator sales have maintained a good momentum, hitting a record high in March and April respectively. The latest data released by the China Construction Machinery Association on June 8 shows that in May at the end of the traditional peak season, excavator sales still maintained a good momentum, with sales of 31,700 units, a year-on-year growth rate of 68%. Popular brands of major brands The type "is booked as soon as it goes online, and it is shipped away as soon as it goes online."
As an important microscopic indicator for observing economic operation, what does it mean that sales of excavators increased by 68% year-on-year in May?
——"68%" means that the resumption of the existing engineering projects in various places continues to speed up.
"Add 2 more excavators!" In Kangqiao Town, Pudong New District, Shanghai, in order to ensure that the Sanlin community project can be delivered on time on June 30, the project manager Cang Wei decided to further increase the equipment. Today, on the 40,000 square meter construction site, 3 large excavators, 1 medium-sized excavator, and 1 small excavator are working around the clock and at full capacity. "Affected by the epidemic, the construction start time was postponed. In order to deliver on time, we will put more equipment on schedule!"
Data show that as of June 4, the rate of resumption of key projects in various provinces reached 99.3%. "Each March and April is the peak season for excavator sales. At present, China's epidemic prevention and control battle has achieved major strategic results, and the resumption of production and production of enterprises in the upstream and downstream of the construction machinery industry chain has been strongly promoted, driving excavator sales to exceed expectations." China Su Zimeng, secretary general of the Construction Machinery Association.
——"68%" means actively expanding effective investment, and new investment projects in various places have landed one after another.
On May 12, Guangdong issued 71.2 billion yuan of large-scale special bonds for the construction of major infrastructure projects in seven fields such as transportation infrastructure, energy projects, agriculture, forestry, and water conservancy. In the afternoon, Jiangsu also successfully issued special bonds and raised 46.3 billion yuan. Yuan is used in urban and rural construction and other fields...
The implementation of a series of stable investment policies has enabled the construction machinery industry to maintain a high prosperity. "Even in May, our excavator production and sales are still climbing sharply, far exceeding the same period last year." Miao Jianguo, deputy general manager of Sany Heavy Machinery Marketing Company said.
According to statistics, not only the excavator, but almost all construction machinery equipment supply and sales have shown varying degrees of recovery. In April, the 23 loader manufacturers included in the statistics sold a total of 16,700 units of various loaders, a year-on-year increase of 31.4%.
"The number of new domestic construction projects is gradually increasing. It is expected that the overall situation in the second quarter of the excavator market will be better than the first quarter, and the domestic market demand will still increase in the second half of the year." Qi Jun, president of the China Construction Machinery Industry Association said.
——"68%" also means that the construction machinery industry is highly productive and full, laying a solid foundation for the implementation of the strategy of expanding domestic demand.
4500 units! In April, Liugong Group's excavator output was three times that of the same period last year.
Steel flowers splashed and the machine tool roared. At the Liuzhou Group's production base in Liuzhou, Guangxi, an excavator can be off-line in 9 minutes. Outside the plant, more than one hundred yellow "iron armor" waiting for delivery were parked on the roadside, and a parking space was just vacated. Within 30 seconds, a new offline excavator stopped again.
"Thanks to the digital supply chain platform, we immediately linked with more than a thousand suppliers to share resources such as employees, raw materials, logistics, etc., so that all links in the industrial chain could rotate smoothly, and the manufacturing end could be fully fired." Guangxi Liugong Machinery Huang Min, vice president of the company said.
Changsha, Shenyang, Huzhou, Kunshan... all major excavator production bases in the country are in full swing. As leading companies in the excavator industry have implemented digital reforms and realized the whole process of digitalization and intelligent transformation from the development platform, supply chain to production line, the production flexibility of the excavator industry has been greatly improved, laying a solid foundation for the implementation of the strategy of expanding domestic demand.
