Many traditional industries in China are showcasing their latest products and innovations towards green and low‑carbon development at the 2024 World Manufacturing Convention which kicked off on Friday in east China's Aunhui Province.
In July this year, China issued a guideline on accelerating the green development of the manufacturing industry to speed up the construction of a modern industrial system and promote new industrialization.
At the four-day event, themed "Intelligent Manufacturing for a Better Future", a cement company is displaying a model of a smart factory powered by green electricity.
"The car is powered by the energy storage of wind power and solar power in our factory. The electric mining cars are unmanned. The entire process, from the mining end, achieves high-end, intelligent, and green operations. The waste heat of our cement plant can be recycled to generate electricity that can supply 50 percent of our plant's needs," said the exhibitor of the cement company. The automobile industry is also transforming and upgrading. Many regions across China have prioritized new energy vehicles as a strategic emerging industry. The new energy vehicles are also a highlight of the exhibition at the convention.
Apart from using clean energy, products with eye-catching appearance designs and excellent performance were also highlighted.
With the development of the sector of the new energy vehicle, a variety of new products and cutting-edge technologies are also being upgraded, bringing people more new choices.
Around 1,000 guests from both at home and abroad are attending the convention.
Held since 2018, the World Manufacturing Convention has attracted over 600 top executives from Fortune 500 companies to date. More than 3,600 projects have been signed at the event, generating actual investment of over 1.5 trillion yuan (about 212 billion U.S. dollars).
