ISTANBUL, June 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology Co., Ltd. ("Zoomlion") attracted widespread attention at KOMATEK 2026 in Istanbul with the appearance of its humanoid robot Z01. Alongside more than 40 high-end construction machinery exhibits that secured orders exceeding RMB 1 billion, Z01 emerged as one of the event's most talked-about attractions.

Designed for industrial collaboration, intelligent guidance, and educational applications, the bipedal humanoid robot demonstrated coordinated movement and precise operational capabilities throughout the exhibition. During a live demonstration, Z01 performed a Tai Chi routine, showcasing advanced motion control, dynamic balance, and human-robot interaction capabilities, drawing large crowds of visitors.

The debut of Z01 highlights Zoomlion's growing commitment to embodied AI, with embodied AI robots and related emerging industries forming the company's third growth curve.

Zoomlion possesses significant advantages in embodied intelligence development. As one of the earliest companies in China's construction machinery industry to invest in industrial IoT technologies, the company has built a strong digital foundation through Zvalley, its AI-powered industrial internet subsidiary, which is supported by nearly 1,300 technical and R&D professionals.

Since 2024, Zoomlion has accelerated the development of embodied AI technologies through its integrated hardware-software innovation capabilities. The company has established a comprehensive technology framework covering robot hardware, core components, decision-making and motion-control systems, and software ecosystems. At the same time, the integration of AI and robotics technologies is helping drive the intelligent transformation of Zoomlion's construction machinery, agricultural machinery, and mining equipment businesses.

By the end of 2025, Zoomlion had developed eight embodied AI robot prototypes across four major categories, creating a diversified product portfolio that includes humanoid and wheeled robots. Leveraging the company's extensive industrial environments, these robots have been validated in real-world applications at Zoomlion Smart City, including logistics handling, factory inspection, loading and unloading, pre-assembly, and quality inspection. These deployments have provided valuable operational data and experience for future large-scale commercialization.

Earlier this year at Hannover Messe 2026, Zoomlion showcased Robot Ops, its embodied AI development platform, and demonstrated collaborative operations involving humanoid and logistics robots. The event highlighted the company's progress in moving embodied AI from laboratory research to practical, industrial-grade applications, emphasizing real-world adaptability, autonomous decision-making, and multi-robot collaboration.

Today, embodied AI robots are already being utilized across multiple manufacturing processes within Zoomlion Smart City. Zoomlion is committed to developing embodied intelligence with an industrial mindset, focusing on real-world scenarios and building capabilities from the ground up. By establishing a robust industrial data system for embodied AI and advancing engineering-oriented robot design and manufacturing, the company is steadily laying the foundation for the large-scale deployment of embodied intelligence technologies across industries.

SYDNEY, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Trinasolar, a global leader in smart PV and energy storage solutions, has commenced mass production of its Vertex S+ G3 515W module (NEG10R.28Z), an Australia-exclusive high-efficiency module designed for residential and commercial & industrial (C&I) rooftop applications. The module has obtained Clean Energy Council certification, with first deliveries in Australia expected this month.

The Vertex S+ G3 delivers up to 515W output and 24.7% module efficiency within a standard rooftop module footprint of 1842mm x 1134mm. Built on Trinasolar's n-type i-TOPCon Ultra technology, the zero-gap, high-density cell layout increases efficiency while its low voltage design supports flexible string sizing.

Its dual-glass structure, low temperature coefficient of -0.26%/°C and mechanical load capacity of up to 5400 Pa for snow and 4000 Pa for wind, support long-term performance and durability in Australia's harsh climate. The modules are backed by a 25-year product warranty and 30-year power warranty.

Edison Zhou, Head of Australia, Trinasolar Asia Pacific said, "In Australia, smaller lots, higher density housing and more complex roof designs are increasing the need for modules that can maximise energy generation from limited rooftop space, while remaining practical for installers to handle. The Vertex S+ G3 was specifically designed in response to these needs."

As part of the product rollout, a field installation test was conducted in Melbourne and Adelaide to assess module handling, installation efficiency and string design in a real residential rooftop environment. Installer feedback was positive.

Trent Dorrington, Installer from Rogue Electrical & Data, said the module offered a practical way to achieve higher rooftop output without the handling challenges often associated with larger-format panels. "Panels rated above 500W are usually considerably larger and hard to swing around on roofs. At under two metres high and only 30mm thick, the module was easier to handle than I initially expected. Fitting 515W into a panel size comparable to a 475W module makes it a great product," he said.

"The ability to connect 18-20 panels on a string is significant. We can effectively halve the installation time and reduce our labour costs by avoiding the need to run as many cables onto the roof. The more efficient the installation, the more cost-effective the work is both for installer and customer."  

The Vertex S+ G3 515W module will be available to Australian residential and C&I installers through Trinasolar's local distribution network.
