Creators demonstrate XCMG distinctive mechanical beauty

Li Linshan, publicity manager of XCMG Truck Business Division, reviewed the "XCMG experience tour" as representative of tutors of Season 5 at the conclusion conference held on 25th: After this campaign, I got a deeper understanding of XCMG's culture. XCMG cannot be simply identified as a leader of China construction machinery industry. It is also a challenger and rule breaker in terms of creation, innovation and technologies.

Subsequently, the five apprentices shared their learning experiences. The unique temperament of the three "art masters" Sergio, Kajal and Christian, professionalism of the hydraulic engineer Cole and deep recognition and passion from Maria moved the audience.

Liu Jiansen, Vice President of XCMG Machinery and General Manager of the XCMG Import and Export, issued "graduation certificates" to the five apprentices and sent a heartfelt message, "I hope the five apprentices can become XCMG's 'international ambassadors', so that more friends can know, understand and love XCMG. We hope to join hands with more young people in the world to explore science and technology, serve the sustainable development of global construction machinery industry, and contribute our wisdom and strength to a better future."
