advantages, while differentiating themselves/taking share from foreign peers with new

energy products. For non-mining machinery, Chinese brands hold a 70% share (below

10% three years ago), vs c30% for Japanese/Korean brands. As a representative player,

XCMG is competitive in new equipment/aftermarket parts pricing/local service

capabilities, while accelerating localisation (new-energy plants/remanufacturing

centres). Given Indonesia's 23.90% tariff on new-energy equipment, localised

manufacturing has become a key path to reducing cost/enhancing competitiveness. In
