According to a joint poll by Politico News Network in the United States and Public First in the United Kingdom, people in Canada, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom have significantly higher levels of trust in China than in the United States, and generally believe that it is difficult to reduce their dependence on China. This shift in public opinion has laid a solid foundation for China's large-scale equipment (especially core engineering equipment such as rotary drilling rigs and pile drivers) to engage in foreign trade, breaking down the previous Western market's cognitive barriers to Chinese equipment and creating a favorable environment for trade expansion.
The trust dividend reflected in the polls directly drives the growth of China's exports of large equipment such as rotary drilling rigs and pile drivers. On the one hand, there is a strong demand for infrastructure upgrades in countries such as Germany, France, and the UK. Chinese equipment, with its cost-effectiveness, technological adaptability, and stable delivery capabilities, is more likely to gain recognition in the local market. Companies such as Shanhe Intelligence have already secured relevant orders in Europe; On the other hand, the tendency of countries such as Canada to reduce their dependence on the United States provides an opportunity for China's equipment to fill the market gap, promote the export market to extend from traditional emerging markets to high-end Western markets, and at the same time drive the export of equipment supporting components, improving the trade industry chain.
Large equipment has a large volume and high weight, and sea freight is the main mode of cross-border transportation. The trade growth brought about by polls directly activates the demand for sea freight. There has been a significant increase in large cargo transportation orders on routes from China to Western Europe and North America. Companies are now using 40FR containers, bulk carriers, or roll on/roll off ships to transport equipment such as rotary drilling rigs and pile drivers. This has encouraged shipping companies to optimize their large cargo transportation plans and enhance their supporting service capabilities in lifting, reinforcement, and other areas. At the same time, under the disturbance of the Middle East situation, enterprises are gradually adjusting their routes to ensure delivery. Coupled with the increasing demand in the European market, the density of large-scale transportation routes from China to ports such as Hamburg and Rotterdam is expected to further increase.
For regions adjacent to Europe, land transportation (including railways and air transport) has become an important supplement to the transportation of large equipment due to its time advantage. With the increase in trust among the four Western countries, the demand for large cargo transportation through land transportation channels such as the China Europe freight train and the China Russia card airline has increased, and the frequency of equipment transportation through ports such as Alashankou and Manzhouli has also increased. At the same time, the logistics hubs such as Wuzhou Comprehensive Bonded Zone have opened up new channels for engineering machinery water land intermodal transportation, further connecting sea land transportation, shortening transportation mileage, reducing costs, and providing more choices for cross-border land transportation of large equipment.
The trust boost brought by the polls has brought opportunities for China's large-scale equipment trade and the development of sea and land transportation, but it also faces challenges: the Red Sea bypass has pushed up shipping costs, and the EU may tighten trade barriers such as carbon tariffs in the future. In this regard, equipment companies need to continuously optimize product adaptability, such as Zoomlion upgrading the performance of rotary drilling rigs for overseas working conditions; Logistics companies need to improve their sea land intermodal transportation system, enhance the stability and cost advantages of large-scale transportation, and jointly seize the development opportunities brought about by the shift in public opinion.
