History is like a mirror, reflecting on the extraordinary years. The decade of the new era has written an extremely brilliant chapter in the cause of the Party and the country. Our original intention is like a torch, reflecting the road of rejuvenation. The Party led us to follow the road of "Chinese path to modernization" and embark on a new journey towards the second century goal.

In 2022, under the guidance of the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we focused on the requirements of "five firmly grasp", "seven focuses", and "nine deep understandings", and worked hard on "three comprehensiveness", quickly set off an upsurge of publicity and implementation, and effectively implemented the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China to all aspects of promoting high-quality development of the company. We had the courage to make self revolution, and comprehensively promote strict governance of the Party and the "five integrations", conscientiously support and defend the "two establishment", enhance the "four consciousness", strengthen the "four self-confidence", and achieve the "two maintenance" in action.

In 2022, we had always keep in mind the "biggest player in the country", relied on Shaanxi Auto's capacity expansion, Tongli frame, Cummins relocation and other projects, continued to strengthen and optimize Xi'an and Baoji commercial vehicle industry clusters, drive the coordinated development of Shaanxi's heavy truck industry chain, and increase the supporting rate by 3 percentage points.

Time and tide wait for no man; the heavens rewards diligence. These achievements are the result of our efforts in focusing on the guide of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and results guided by Xi Jinping’s "Four New" Instructions. It is the result of the strong leadership of the provincial party committee and provincial government, the care, support and help of governments at all levels and the vast number of partners, and the result of more than 26000 employee working with wisdom and sweat on all fronts.
