A fusion of sci-fi adventure and heavy industry innovation, a fleet of customized XCMG Machinery equipment is featured in the China-made sci-fi blockbuster "The Wandering Earth II" directed by Frant Gwo, which opened in movie theaters on Chinese New Year's Day, and will be released in the countries and regions including North America, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, etc. starting from January 28, 2023. From the "space elevator" soaring across the earth and sky to the thrilling "air combat," XCMG equipment journeys from behind the scenes to onstage in the prequel to 2019's ''The Wandering Earth", which became one of the grossing non-English movies ever.

Leveraging its comprehensive product portfolio and solutions in hoisting, earthmoving, road, aerial work, sanitation, safety and emergency rescue, XCMG has provided a wide range of operational and transformable machinery equipment for the UEG (United Earth Government) in the film. One of the most coveted pieces of equipment from the film is the ET120 walking excavator, also known as the "steel mantis." Designed for emergency rescue in complex terrain environments and at disaster-stricken sites, the ET120 can "walk" the plateau mountains, woodlands, ravines, swamps and alpine as if it's on firm earth, while equipped for installing various tools to perform different tasks such as excavation, lifting, logging, fire extinguishing, crushing, grabbing and drilling at altitudes of up to 4,500 meters and temperatures of minus 40 degrees Celsius. In addition, the film features dozens of innovative technologies that XCMG has developed for applications in extreme conditions, and over a third of the equipment in the film is unmanned and new energy models, including the AGV.
