BEIJING, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The fourth Changsha International Construction Equipment Exhibition (CICEE) concluded on May 18 in Changsha, capital of central China's Hunan Province. According to the organizer, the event yielded fruitful cooperation outcomes.
During the event, overseas buyers have struck tentative deals with over 600 exhibitors and six Changsha-based construction machine enterprises have secured purchase orders worth over 13 billion yuan (about 1.81 billion U.S. dollars).
Besides, an agreement on the standards of construction machinery has been signed between Standard and Industrial Research Institute of Malaysia (SIRIM) and China Construction Machinery Test Center, which has laid foundation for a more standardized and highly-efficient trade environment for the two sides.
The four-day event has brought together more than 1,800 exhibitors, up 20 percent year on year, including global industry leaders such as Caterpillar and Hitachi Construction Machinery, as well as Chinese construction machinery giants like Sany and Zoomlion.
This year's exhibition drew around 350,000 representatives from 110 countries and regions, among which the number of overseas buyers has grew remarkably. It also invited buyer delegations from RCEP partner countries and held six themed international business matchmaking events.
Hailing Changsha's role as China's leading machinery manufacturing powerhouse and CICEE's rising global influence, Tsunetaka Mori, Japanese heavyweight Hitachi Construction Machinery's representative in China, said with the rising global demand for intelligent, electric and large-scale construction machinery, Hitachi has accelerated research and development and technological upgrades and continues to introduce cutting-edge solutions to China.

Xinhua Silk Road: 4th CICEE concludes with fruitful results
GUANGZHOU, China, Jan. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Recently, GAC's independently developed Quark E-Drive power domain control system has achieved the world's first dual certification for deeply integrated ASIL D functional safety and information security, accredited by DAkkS, Germany's national accreditation body. The certification was evaluated and issued by SGS-CSTC Standards Technical Services Co., Ltd. (SGS), a globally recognized certification authority.
ISO 26262 is the internationally recognized core standard for automotive functional safety. Within this framework, ASIL D represents the highest automotive safety integrity level, requiring near-zero tolerance for safety-critical failures. Achieving an ASIL D certification accredited by DAkkS signifies that the certified product meets the highest globally accepted standards for automotive safety.
The certified Quark E-Drive power domain control system has been in production use since February 2025, and is now deployed across multiple models under GAC's brands - HYPTEC and AION. As the industry's first electric drive power domain system based on deep integration using a single main control chip, the solution significantly reduces chip count, minimizes risks associated with chip-level failures, and boosts motor controller efficiency to as high as 99.9%. The certification confirms that GAC has completed the system's full product development lifecycle in strict compliance with ISO 26262:2018 functional safety and ISO/SAE 21434:2021 information security standards.
Throughout the project, GAC Technology Research Center worked closely with SGS experts, strengthening safety design across all development phases while ensuring engineering feasibility and an optimal user experience.
Zhao Hui, Vice President of SGS China, commented: "The successful certification highlights GAC's strong team and robust development systems. We are pleased to support the safety of the Quark E-Drive and look forward to closer collaboration."
This milestone represents a major breakthrough for GAC in e-drive safety and sets a new global benchmark for the intelligent electric vehicle industry.
