On November 27, the 2025 World Intelligent Manufacturing Conference commenced in Nanjing. During the event, Weichai's "High-End Engine Smart Factory Based on Digital-Intelligent Lean Model" project was successfully included in the first batch of leading smart factory cultivation lists, marking it as a benchmark for intelligent transformation in China's equipment manufacturing sector.

A total of 15 companies were selected for the first national "Leading Smart Factory" cultivation list, representing the highest level of intelligent manufacturing in China. Previously, Weichai and its subsidiaries had five units recognized in the "Excellence-Level Smart Factory" list. This latest advancement from "Excellence" to "Leading" further highlights Weichai's pioneering role in digital-intelligent transformation.

At the conference, Weichai and other selected companies jointly initiated the Leading Action Plan, advocating for collaborative development in intelligent manufacturing and injecting new momentum into building China into a manufacturing powerhouse.

Weichai's leadership stems from its deep commitment to "Digital-Intelligent Lean" practices. At the concurrent 2025 World Intelligent Manufacturing Expo, Weichai showcased comprehensive AI applications across five key areas: AI R&D, AI manufacturing, AI sales and services, AI product solutions, and AI-powered solutions.

Transitioning from traditional manufacturing to AI-driven operations, Weichai exemplifies state-owned enterprise responsibility through tangible progress. Amid the digital-intelligent transformation wave, Weichai continues to lead the equipment manufacturing industry toward the high end of the global value chain, contributing to China's manufacturing ambitions.
