Hubei Hechuang Heavy Industry Spotlights on CCTV Morning News: Pioneering Green Maritime Revolution​

In a remarkable showcase of China's green transformation in the maritime sector, Hubei Hechuang Heavy Industry recently made a high-profile appearance on CCTV's Morning News, underlining its pivotal role in realizing the nation’s vision for a sustainable future. As the transportation industry undergoes a sweeping transformation driven by large-scale equipment upgrades, new energy solutions, including hydrogen-fueled vehicles and battery-powered ships, are rapidly becoming integral to daily production and life.​

At the forefront of this green wave, Hechuang Heavy Industry's manufacturing base in Huanggang, Hubei, is a hive of activity. Since the start of 2025, the base has secured an impressive 100 production orders for new energy ships, with 83 vessels already in various stages of construction. The total contract value of these projects has soared to 2.5 billion yuan, a testament to the company’s dominance in the emerging market. Notably, new energy ship orders account for over 90% of the total, marking a significant milestone in the localization of ship power systems. This achievement has also spurred the agglomeration and growth of more than 10 upstream and downstream supporting enterprises in Hubei, forming a robust green shipbuilding ecosystem.​

National statistics further highlight the momentum of China’s green transportation shift. According to the Ministry of Transport, in the past year alone, 58,000 new energy city buses and power battery sets have been deployed across the country, accompanied by the replacement of over 200 new energy railway locomotives. Aligned with the 2024 - 2025 Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction Action Plan, the goal is to reduce the carbon dioxide emission intensity in the transportation sector by 5% by the end of 2025, compared to 2020. Hubei Hechuang Heavy Industry’s efforts are not only a microcosm of this national endeavor but also a driving force propelling the maritime industry towards a low-carbon future.​

The feature on CCTV's Morning News not only elevates Hechuang Heavy Industry’s brand visibility but also underscores China’s commitment to green innovation and sustainable development. As the company continues to pioneer in new energy shipbuilding, it sets a shining example for the industry, illuminating the path towards a greener and more intelligent maritime future.
