Flagship and Role Model: Advanced Grassroots Party Organizations of Sinotruk Group

Since last year, in the journey of high-quality development of Sinotruk Group, a group of advanced grassroots Party organizations have emerged, demonstrating courage, pioneering spirit, and a willingness to shoulder heavy responsibilities. Guided by the “Sinotruk” spirit, they have focused on building national heavy-duty truck brands such as “Howo,” showcasing their commitment through hard work. Let us get closer to them, learn from their excellence, strive for perfection, never slacken, always stand at the forefront, and always aim for first place, using practical work to help the Group’s operating performance reach new heights.

Sinotruk Group “Three Highs” Testing Party Branch

Extreme Testing Forges Craftsmanship, Party Building Leads to New Heights

The “Three Highs” Testing Party Branch was established in 2005 and is my country’s first professional team for engine extreme environment testing. The average age of the team members is 28. Guided by the “Extreme Fortress” Party building brand and with the vision of “creating the world’s best engines and boosting Sinotruk’s overall vehicle competitiveness,” they promoted the spirit of “being exceptionally hardworking, exceptionally capable of fighting, and exceptionally dedicated,” deeply integrating Party building with business operations. This provided strong power support for heavy-duty truck products such as the “Howo” series, and consolidated the fighting fortress power of grassroots Party branches in promoting technological innovation.

Digital Empowerment: Building a “Cloud-Based Red Fortress”

They established temporary Party branches and a Party building cloud platform for extreme environments, developed remote calibration and monitoring systems, enabling remote ECU operation and all-region, all-time, and all-purpose data cloud analysis. This ensured the Party flag flew high on the front lines of testing, guaranteeing the reliable matching of Sinotruk engines under extreme conditions.

Party Members Take the Lead: Improving Testing Quality and Efficiency

134 operational standards were streamlined, a digital management and control platform and a vehicle QR code traceability system were built, and a fault management database was developed (with a success rate of over 95% in matching solutions). This enabled full-process control of testing quality, significantly improving the R&D efficiency of Sinotruk engines and safeguarding the quality of “Howo” vehicles.

Technological Breakthroughs: Building a Solid Competitive Barrier

Advanced risk identification reduced the testing cycle for a single engine to 41 days (a 33% efficiency increase), expanded the number of tested engines annually to over 10, obtained 110 invention patents, and established the world’s largest engine extreme environment database. This laid a solid foundation for ensuring the superior adaptability and reliability of Sinotruk engines across all climates, regions, and fields.

Sinotruk Jinan Truck Company, General Assembly Department 1 Party Branch

The Party Flag Flies High, Seizing New Heights in Intelligent Heavy Trucks

“Sweat forges glory, teamwork unites strength!” At the Laiwu Plant of Sinotruk Jinan Truck Company, the General Assembly Department 1 Party Branch, aiming to “build a benchmark digital lighthouse factory in the commercial vehicle field,” focuses on the intelligent manufacturing of heavy truck products such as the “Howo” series. Playing a fighting fortress role, it leads Party members and the masses to overcome urgent, difficult, and dangerous tasks, practicing the Sinotruk culture of “emphasizing morality, craftsmanship, and achievement” with practical actions.

Focusing on the Party Flag Leading the Way to “Strengthen the Foundation”

Adhering to theoretical armament as the core, the branch has built a diversified learning matrix, regularly conducted organizational life, and attracted outstanding talents to join the Party organization. The “Pioneer Party Member Project” has yielded significant results. Party building activities are vibrant and effective, winning numerous provincial and group-level honors for outstanding Party building work, with many Party members being awarded the titles of model worker and outstanding Communist Party member.

Activating the “Dual Engines” of Party-Industry Integration

The “Intelligent Manufacturing Future” Party building brand was created, launching a “Four-Red Defense Campaign” in Party building, quality, delivery, and cost control. Party member commando teams, responsibility zones, and demonstration posts were established. Innovative production models were implemented, and bottleneck-solving efforts were undertaken multiple times, significantly increasing the production capacity of heavy-duty truck production lines such as “Howo,” creating a national heavy-duty truck brand that satisfies customers and is at the forefront of the industry.

Serving Employees and Warming Their Hearts

With “serving the people” as the starting point, production processes were optimized, labor intensity was reduced, and production efficiency was improved. Urgent needs and concerns of employees were addressed through infrastructure improvements. Continuous efforts were made to provide health care, assistance, and support for children’s education, supporting employee growth and effectively enhancing their sense of happiness, fulfillment, and belonging.

Sinotruk Import & Export Corporation’s First Party Branch in its Business Region

Building a Stronghold Through Party Building, Overseas Pioneers Compose a Glorious Chapter

From the Mediterranean coast to the Cape of Good Hope, from the Sahara Desert to the East African Rift Valley, the First Party Branch of Sinotruk Import & Export Corporation’s Business Region has traversed mountains and seas, facing complex environments and numerous challenges. Deepening market development, integrating into local development, and consolidating the foundation of overseas Party building, the branch has written a remarkable chapter in the Belt and Road Initiative with outstanding achievements and a pragmatic approach, becoming a benchmark force for Sinotruk’s equipment “going global.”

Strengthening the Foundation: Activating the “Red Engine” of Overseas Party Building

Addressing the dispersed nature of its members, the branch innovated a “pre-shift micro-Party class + online organizational life” model to ensure uninterrupted theoretical learning. It also established cross-regional joint Party groups, allowing members to be rooted in project sites across Africa, transforming the cohesion of the Party organization into a fighting force for overcoming difficulties, consolidating the foundation of overseas Party building, and contributing to the global promotion of the “Howo” brand.

Breaking Through Challenges: Building a “Pioneer Team” for Market Expansion

By forming Party member vanguard teams focused on sales, service, and technology, the team tackled business challenges, making Party members the vanguard in market expansion, the attentive service providers for customers, and the experts in technical breakthroughs. In 2024, the team achieved remarkable results—Sinotruk product sales and revenue increased by 62% and 67% year-on-year, respectively; it won bids for major projects in multiple countries; and added several new dealerships. The influence of “Howo” heavy trucks in the international market continued to rise.

Rooted in Integration: Building a “Friendship Bridge” for China-Africa Cooperation

A cultural integration specialist was appointed to conduct distinctive Party building activities such as cultural learning and customer meetings, deeply integrating into the local community. The advanced deeds of Party member Qin Zhixuan were featured on the “Study the Great Nation” app. The team, through professional service and cultural empathy, made Party building a link connecting China and Africa’s development, promoting wider recognition for the “Sinotruk” brand and “Howo” products.

On this new journey, the Party organizations at all levels of Sinotruk will continue to play their role as fighting fortresses, leading the company’s high-quality development with high-quality Party building, and making the “Sinotruk” brand and “Howo” heavy trucks shine even more brightly on the world stage.
