Chinese construction equipment manufacturer Sany Heavy Industry Co Ltd ranked first in the world in excavator sales in 2020, surpassing peers including Caterpillar Inc from the United States and Japan's Kubota, the company said on Monday.
中国工程机械制造商三一重工股份有限公司周一表示，2020年该公司挖掘机销量居全球首位，超过了包括美国卡特彼勒公司和日本小松制作所在内的同行。
Xiang Wenbo, president of Sany, said in an interview with China Daily that the company sold 98,705 units of excavators last year, while second-place Caterpillar sold 75,772, citing data from Off-Highway Research, a consultancy specializing in international construction and agricultural equipment markets.

US construction machinery giant charts plan to launch more new products, servicesUS construction machinery giant Caterpillar Inc believes there are good long-term prospects in the China market and the company plans to launch more products and services for local customers, a global executive said.
Ramin Younessi, Caterpillar group president for construction industries, told China Daily that the US-based company is "very committed" to China and has a strong team for the long run in the market.
Caterpillar is now launching a new series of products and services in China and around the world to satisfy the needs of local customers, Younessi said during the 10th International Infrastructure Investment and Construction Forum.
Through a variety of products, solutions and services, Caterpillar is helping Chinese customers address new challenges in the environment, safety, efficiency and productivity while pursuing sustainability goals, Younessi said.
Caterpillar has redesigned certain types of excavators to improve operator safety and comfort, increase efficiency, and lower maintenance costs.
Caterpillar reported sales of its construction industries segment in the Asia-Pacific region fell 4 percent in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the same period last year.
The US market, which is the birthplace of world's top construction machinery brand Caterpillar, is a highly competitive market and represents the top standards.
Machinery giant Caterpillar Inc has been striving to better satisfy customer needs in China by launching a smart watch along with a dozen new excavators, executives said.
Thomas Pellette, Caterpillar group president for construction industries, said the move aims to better address customer needs, and help users work "more effectively, efficiently, safely and sustainably.
"Caterpillar started to develop the smart device, the Cat Watch, several months ago, when a Chinese customer proposed such an idea.
"This year marks the 40th anniversary of China's reform and opening-up, which has provided many opportunities for companies like Caterpillar," said Chen Qihua, chairman of Caterpillar China.
"Caterpillar also upgraded its after-sales service to include a two-hour response service.

On Monday, Caterpillar said in its second-quarter earnings report that a 25 percent US tariff on imported steel could cost the company $100 million to $200 million in the second half of the year.
Caterpillar, based in Peoria, Illinois, however, still raised its earnings per share outlook for 2018 to $11 to $12, up from $10.25 to $11.25.
"Based on outstanding results in the first half of the year and continued strength in many of our end markets, Caterpillar is again raising our profit outlook for 2018," CEO Jim Umpleby said in a statement.
The strong demand from the China market has extended from 2017 into the first half of 2018, driven largely by equipment updates in the industry, the steady increase of investment in infrastructure, sustainable development of the real estate market, the surge in coal prices which motivates further coal production, and more public-private partnership projects, said Chen Qihua, chairman of Caterpillar China, at the sidelines of the Ninth International Infrastructure Investment and Construction Forum in Macao.
Chen also said that the Belt and Road Initiative offers huge opportunities to machinery manufacturing companies like Caterpillar.
For the first three months of 2018, Caterpillar recorded $12.9 billion in revenue, 31.6 percent higher from the same period in 2017, and its profit per share also rose to $2.74, from 32 cents a year ago.
Chen expects that Belt and Road-related projects, the development of mines in overseas markets, as well as the construction of power stations, will continue to provide opportunities for Caterpillar in China.
In the future, Caterpillar will strengthen its relationship with its 172 agents globally, many of which have been cooperating with the company for a very long time and have deep connections locally, and they will be able to better facilitate contractors in the Belt and Road projects, said Chen.
Caterpillar plans to continuously promote technological progress, by using a new generation of smart machines and smart solutions to improve the efficiency of large contractors.
Caterpillar banks on China's B&R for sustained growth optionsThe global head of Caterpillar Inc, the US-based construction machinery behemoth, forecasts robust growth in China this year and plans to invest in several sectors in China, which he considers one of the company's most significant markets.

The comments came after Caterpillar reported $45.5 billion in sales and revenue last year, an 18 percent increase over 2016.
So far, Caterpillar has about 10,000 employees in China in more than 20 different facilities.
"It is a long-term positive development for Caterpillar.

So far, Caterpillar has supported China Energy's efforts to achieve efficient and sustainable operations in both surface and underground coal mines in China.
China Energy has also expanded into the international mining industry, thanks to support from Caterpillar's global dealer network.
