LiuGong Highlights Zero-Carbon Ambitions at 6th Global Customer Day in Liuzhou

By MGN Editorial•June 1, 2026 at 06:00 AM

Chinese construction machinery giant LiuGong convened its 6th Global Customer Day in Liuzhou, placing decarbonisation and zero-carbon technology at the centre of its strategic messaging for international clients and industry partners.

## LiuGong Champions Zero-Carbon Future at Annual Global Customer Event Chinese construction and heavy equipment manufacturer LiuGong (SZ: 000528) held its 6th Global Customer Day on 31 May in Liuzhou, China, with sustainability and zero-carbon technology forming the cornerstone of the company's forward-looking agenda, according to a PR Newswire release. The event drew senior figures from across China's industrial and corporate landscape, including Mr. Su Zimeng, President of the China Construction Machinery Association, and Mr. Song Zhiping, President of the China Association for Public Companies, underscoring the significance of the gathering within the broader Chinese heavy equipment sector. While LiuGong is primarily known as a construction machinery manufacturer, the company's equipment — including port handling machinery, wheel loaders, and heavy-lift vehicles — plays a direct role in port and terminal operations worldwide. Its push toward zero-carbon product lines carries implications for port operators and logistics providers seeking to reduce Scope 3 emissions across their supply chains. The 'Embracing a Zero-Carbon Future' theme reflects growing pressure on equipment manufacturers supplying the maritime and port sectors to align with international decarbonisation targets, including those set out under the International Maritime Organization's revised greenhouse gas strategy, which calls for net-zero emissions from international shipping by or around 2050. For port and terminal operators, the electrification and decarbonisation of yard equipment — from reach stackers to heavy-duty loaders — represents a tangible near-term lever for reducing operational carbon footprints. Manufacturers such as LiuGong that serve this segment are increasingly expected to demonstrate credible zero-emission product roadmaps as procurement criteria tighten globally. Further details on specific product announcements or technology demonstrations from the Liuzhou event were not immediately available at the time of publication.
