Sany excavators rush to help Texas floods
Event: Heavy rains triggered flash floods in central Texas, USA, resulting in at least 132 deaths and more than 100 missing. Post-disaster reconstruction started on July 10.

🌍 2. Middle East market dynamics
Zoomlion won the bid for the UAE project
On July 14, Zoomlion won the bid for the excavator rental service of the UAE P8 project with a bid of 23.58 million yuan, and the bidding was handled by China Petroleum Pipeline Materials and Equipment Co., Ltd.
XCMG rotary drilling rigs are used to build infrastructure in the Middle East
Xugong XR450E rotary drilling rigs participated in the construction of a city center project in the Middle East, overcoming challenges such as loose desert strata, high temperature and dust, and achieving high-precision pile formation. Previously, 10 XCMG equipment were completed two weeks ahead of schedule in the Saudi NEOM new city project, and won praise from international media56.
⚠️ III. Impact of trade policies (Europe and the United States)
US tariffs lead to backlogs at European ports
Due to the Trump administration's 25% tariff on vehicles worth more than $100,000, the Port of Antwerp-Bruges in Belgium has a backlog of thousands of engineering vehicles (including excavators, tractors, etc.) waiting to be exported. In the first six months of 2025, exports of such equipment to the United States fell by 31.5%, and the port has become a "parking lot"7.
If Europe and the United States fail to reach a trade agreement before August 1, the backlog problem may worsen7.
🚜 4. Global project equipment delivery
Zoomlion's multi-line equipment landed in international projects
Indonesia: Delivered nearly 30 mining equipment to Sumatra coal mines, including ZE750G excavators and ZT105 dump trucks, to adapt to high-intensity mining operations.
Australia: Provided the world's tallest ZT72J telescopic forklift at 72.3 meters, setting a local height record.
Shaanxi enterprise oil drilling rigs exported to the UAE
The ZJ70DB oil drilling rig manufactured by CCCC Tianhe Xi'an Equipment was recently rolled off the production line and will be used for deep well drilling in the UAE.
