工程機械是造福人類的産業，其發展水準在某種程度上是衡量一個國家裝備製造業水準的關鍵標誌之一。從依賴進口到自主創新，從默默無聞到攀登行業高峰，中國的工程機械製造行業經歷了怎樣的蛻變過程？帶著問題，中國外文局歐亞中心主持人德偉來到位居全球工程機械製造公司排名前三的江蘇徐工集團，跟隨節目嘉賓——徐工道路機械研究院首席設計師托馬斯·馬伕魯迪斯，一同體驗“神州第一挖”“鋼鐵螳螂”“5G遙操智慧駕艙”等神奇機器，在體驗中尋找答案。

Engineering machinery benefits all of humanity, and its development level reflects a country’s capability to manufacture equipment that is essential for its development. From relying on imports to achieving independent innovation, and from obscurity to global excellence, how does China’s machinery manufacturing undergo such a transformative journey? With this question in mind, Devinder Kumar from the CICG Center for Europe and Asia visited Jiangsu’s heavy machinery manufacturer XCMG, whichhasranked among the world’s top three construction machinery companies. Alongside Thomas Mavrudis, chief designer at the XCMG Road Machinery Research Institute, Devinder sought answers through hands-on experience with technological breakthroughs such as the world’s largest tower crane, the “Iron Mantis,” and the 5G remote-controlled cockpit.
