On the other hand, focusing on the development directions of electrification, digitalization, and green technology, Lingong has established multiple technological pathways and new energy product lines, including pure electric, hybrid, and hydrostatic systems. Additionally, intelligent technologies, such as autonomous operations, have also been successfully commercialized.

Especially in the research and development of new energy products and industrial layout, Lingong Group has successfully launched several new energy mining trucks, aerial work platforms, and other products, leveraging its independently developed hybrid technology. This has gradually formed an industry-leading line of new energy and low-carbon products. These innovations not only enhance customers' operational profits and market competitiveness but also continue to lead the technological revolution in the construction machinery industry.

These technological breakthroughs and innovations have not only brought more products and technologies with independent intellectual property rights and core competitiveness to Lingong Group but also provided it with greater advantages and opportunities in global market competition.
