On November 12, 2025, over 500 global industry leaders will convene in Qingdao, China, for the FORLAND Global Partners Conference 2026. Themed “Co-Innovation, Drives Excellence,” this event aims to foster discussions on cooperation, innovation, and future growth within the commercial vehicle sector.
Since its inception in 2004 with the establishment of its first KD plant in Vietnam, FORLAND has actively expanded its international presence. The company achieved a milestone in 2013 when it secured a record-setting order from Algeria for light-duty dump trucks, marking a significant achievement in China’s export history.
In September 2024, FORLAND launched a global strategy designed to connect future advancements with green technology, aspiring to reach 150 countries and regions by 2030. The impact of this initiative is evident in the company’s sales growth; in the first half of 2025, overseas sales surged by 53.6% year-on-year, expanding its network beyond 50 countries to include emerging markets like Morocco and Colombia.

Attendees will experience a unique “Show–Factory–Drive” event, showcasing 62 vehicles that encompass traditional fuel, new energy, special-purpose, and autonomous driving technologies. Participants will have the opportunity to test drive the latest models and visit the FORLAND Global Manufacturing Factory. This will provide valuable insights into the company’s strengths in research and development, intelligent manufacturing, and market validation.
