Addressing market challenges, the 629 event focused on sharing new insights, technology, and products this year with our invaluable partners, offering cost-effective, safe, and efficient solutions to tackle economic hardships.
The New Landmark that Shines
The Hubei manufacturing base was selected for its logistically convenient location, which is considered a big step for EP to reach inland markets. What’s more, there’s potential to expand EP’s production capabilities: Upon completion, the Hubei manufacturing base will boast an annual production capacity of 50,000 forklifts and a 250,000-ton casting line.
A new hub to produce in-house counterbalance weights and offer refurbishment of used IC trucks to electric trucks further demonstrates EP’s company mission to keep growing: improvements in the company’s own production capability, quality, and sustainability.
