Zoomlion to Showcase Innovative AI and Robotics Technology at bauma CHINA 2026

In an exciting announcement, Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology Co., Ltd. reveals its plans to showcase groundbreaking applications of artificial intelligence and robotic solutions at bauma CHINA 2026. This prestigious event, taking place from November 24 to 27 in Shanghai, aims to highlight the significant advancements that AI is bringing to the construction industry.

With the theme “A Smarter Future Driven by AI,” Zoomlion will present over 60 cutting-edge technologies that exemplify how AI is transforming construction operations. The company will exhibit its innovations across multiple themed areas that focus on construction machinery, smart manufacturing, autonomous operations, and robotics. Enthusiasts and industry experts can visit several booths, including A63, A65, A66, A67, A68, and B58, B66, B68 at the Shanghai International Exhibition Center.

AI Thematic Areas

At this year's bauma, attendees will experience Zoomlion’s AI Pavilion, known as ZValley, featuring five distinct sections that delve deeper into AI technology fundamentals, smart manufacturing, intelligent products, practical applications, and service innovations. Among the showcased equipment will be cranes, concrete machinery, earthmoving and mining equipment, and elevating platforms.

From November 23 to 26, Zoomlion will also set up an interactive exhibition at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition and Convention Center with their bipedal humanoid robot, Z01, which was independently developed. Alongside this robot, they will showcase the Zbrain — a built-in artificial intelligence system designed for industrial applications, coupled with various AI applications and an industrial internet platform to meet modern-day demands.

Live Demonstrations

One of the highlights will be live demonstrations illustrating how intelligent machinery can autonomously perform complex tasks. AI agents will showcase their capabilities in automated mining operations by managing excavation operations and vehicle movements simultaneously. A simulated open-pit mining demonstration will provide insights into how intelligent excavation technologies and autonomous mining trucks can revolutionize this sector, demonstrating models like the ZE4000GEL, a large electric excavator designed to lift heavy loads.

Additional demos will include driverless mini-excavators and compact skid-steer loaders executing tasks autonomously in simulated European redevelopment scenarios. Models like the ZT118EV will be highlighted for autonomous operations, while the ZE650G will be introduced for remote-controlled functionality.

Addressing Global Energy Needs

Zoomlion is committed to addressing the rising demand for new energy equipment in the global markets. Approximately half of the high-end equipment on display will focus on new energy solutions. Noteworthy highlights include an electric pump truck with a stunning 73-meter boom and various machines tailored for international markets, including right-hand drive equipment. These products will meet regional certification requirements and operational conditions in Europe, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. Zoomlion’s focus on electric, hybrid, and plug-in technologies aims to curb energy consumption and reduce operational costs, ultimately reflecting the company's dedication to meeting diverse customer needs around the world.

With its innovative approach to integrating AI in construction machinery and robotics, Zoomlion is setting the stage for a transformative era in the industry. The company invites construction professionals and innovators to explore their latest technological solutions that promise to pave the way for a smarter and more efficient future.
