MingZhu announced an agreement with Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor Company and Shenzhen Guoqing New Energy Technology Company. All three companies will work together to advance the competitiveness of the hydrogen fuel cell industry. MingZhu, with the help of the other two companies, is aiming to deploy 700 new-generation hydrogen fuel cell vehicles by the end of 2023.

 MingZhu is a 4A-Grade trucking service provider with a large fleet of more than 1500 trucks that services 29 regions throughout China. MingZhu is a key player in China's "Belt and Road" initiative, which will help link key economic sectors throughout the country's regions through strong transportation channels. The company has expressed a strong desire to invest in environmentally-friendly transportation vehicles to usher in a new wave of Chinese transportation and economic development.

This agreement is a key step in the direction of having more energy-efficient vehicles and an expanded network of transportation services. MingZhu will be deploying these vehicles across its strong existing transportation network; this includes cold chain cargo transportation across cities in the Pearl River Delta region, port container transportation at Yantian Port Terminal and bulk cargo transportation in the Xinjiang region.

 Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are similar to electric vehicles as they are zero-emission but instead of an electric battery, the vehicle generates electricity through an onboard fuel cell using hydrogen as its main power source. Guoquing Technology was the first enterprise in Shenzhen to successfully commercialize hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in mass production. As gas and diesel prices continue to rise, MingZhu's shift towards more environmentally friendly vehicles should prove advantageous.

Mr. Jinlong Yang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MingZhu Logistics Holdings Limited, commented, "The importance of supply chain and fuel security reached a critical level during the pandemic. Our customers are making strategic decisions to add optionality into their logistics networks as they seek to derisk the high prices and volatility of traditional gas and diesel. Hydrogen fuel cells have a significant potential to be the alternative our customers want, and by partnering with two leaders in the space we will be able to accelerate our timeline, while reducing the otherwise costly R&D investment required. We view this as a win-win for MingZhu, our customers and our partners."

Established in 2002 and headquartered in Shenzhen, China, MingZhu Logistics Holdings Limited is a 4A-rated professional trucking service provider. Based on the Company's regional logistics terminals in Guangdong Province, MingZhu Logistics Holdings offers tailored solutions to our clients to deliver their goods through our network density and broad geographic coverage across the country by a combination of self-owned fleets, tractors and trailers and subcontractors' fleets.

At the crossroads of Central and Southeastern Europe, Serbia is first Mid-Eastern European country to establish a comprehensive strategic partnership with China. The Belgrade Belt Highway Project at its capital is a landmark for POWERCHINA to open its European market. At the opening ceremony of the S5 bid section, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic mentioned an old Chinese saying "if you want to get rich, build roads first", which highly resonated with the Serbia's development concept in recent years. 

The close Sino-Serbian relationship and the friendliness from the Serbian government and people to Chinese enterprises have served as a good foundation to advance the Belgrade Belt Highway Project. The project has recruited many Serbian engineers and senior managers to localize its management, which not only reduced the transition phase in the preliminary stage, but also laid a solid foundation for its smooth implementation.

Jovica Radic, deputy chief engineer of the project owner, said that the completion of the highway will ease traffic pressure and traffic diversions in the capital, reduce the number of traffic accidents, lower the driving cost, reduce urban pollution, and cut down harmful emissions and noise from vehicles in inner-city areas.

"The design is a big challenge. Contractors are willing to tackle this big challenge and they have invested a lot of skills and efforts in a limited time. Tunnels and bridges account for a great proportion of the project, which poses difficulty to construction. However, under such circumstances, POWERCHINA's hard work, management skills, high technical level, and superb construction capability have proven itself to be a reliable and credible partner in the infrastructure sector in the future, " said Jovica Radic.

He expected that Chinese companies can share the fast-development experience in China through their intelligence, political influence and technology and contribute to Serbia's development.

Serbia, officially the Republic of Serbia, is a landlocked country in South Eastern and Central Europe located in the middle of the Pannonian Basin and the Balkans.
