Transformation and upgrade towards new energy and intelligent development | Yingfeng Environment continues to lead industry development!

Carbon peaking and carbon neutrality “3060” goals are major strategic choices for China’s future. They present unprecedented demands for transformation in the public service sectors with high energy consumption and emissions. As a global leader in specialized operational vehicles and the largest new energy sanitation vehicle manufacturer worldwide, Yingfeng Environment breaks free from the limitations of “simple power replacement” and, with a long-term strategic vision, focuses on the ultimate form of sanitation equipment—a complete, soft-hardware integrated intelligent operation system.

Yingfeng Environment’s new energy transformation journey began in 2007—when the company independently developed China’s first new energy street sweeper; in 2008, the vehicle was mass-produced for the Beijing Olympics, officially marking the start of China’s sanitation equipment’s move toward new energy. From 2007 to 2016, through self-research and manufacturing of new energy chassis, the company achieved comprehensive independent R&D and mass production of entire vehicles from new energy chassis, establishing itself as a pioneer in the industry’s new energy transition.

Since 2017, to pursue ultimate professionalism and refinement, Yingfeng Environment actively explores customized new energy chassis: by partnering with top global brands, empowering top-tier chassis suppliers with advanced technology, and using CATL original cells, PACK (battery packs), and BMS (battery management systems), the company adopts a specialized division of labor approach. This enables optimal resource allocation and deep integration of technology, all to provide customers with the highest quality, most reliable, and safest products.

Yingfeng Environment’s path to intelligent transformation is never a single breakthrough but a systematic iterative upgrade. It involves deep integration from mechanical to hydraulic, from electronic control to intelligence, and aims to build a collaborative, efficient, and continuously evolving “intelligent symbiosis”—which is the core competitive advantage of Yingfeng Environment’s strategic choice.

In terms of overall structure, Yingfeng Environment integrates chassis structure, working mechanisms, battery packs, hydraulic and electrical wiring planning to create a more space-efficient, higher-performance vehicle, enhancing overall stability and reliability, and paving the way for deeper intelligent integration.

In electrical control, a high-performance network communication architecture based on CANbus and Ethernet bus is established to achieve millisecond-level data exchange and command synchronization across the vehicle. This endows the vehicle with “unified perception, unified response, and unified decision-making” neural reflex capabilities, truly realizing full-dimensional intelligentization of vehicle data fusion, operation, and scene management. This transforms sanitation equipment from simple “driving” and “working” functions into intelligent work units capable of precise responses.

For intelligent operation, a “thinking and decision-making” smart brain is built for sanitation equipment, establishing a vehicle-wide communication network and data transmission system. This creates a real-time data web between chassis and superstructure, and between the vehicle and the cloud. Driving status, operational parameters, energy consumption data, and more are aggregated into a complete information flow, allowing managers to monitor vehicle operation anytime, anywhere.

Meanwhile, vehicles are equipped with fault diagnosis capabilities, becoming intelligent partners that can proactively “express” issues and provide early warnings through data analysis. Real-time data interaction between vehicles and platforms clearly presents operational data, helping clients plan operations scientifically. Relying on intelligent algorithms, the system monitors driver behavior, vehicle status, and surrounding environment comprehensively, avoiding operational risks from the source, making management more proactive and operations more refined.

In terms of autonomous driving, from 2017 to 2025, Yingfeng Environment has established a full-stack autonomous R&D system covering perception, decision-making, control, and execution: in 2017, it launched the world’s first sanitation smart operation robot, breaking industry boundaries; in 2021, the second-generation autonomous cleaning robot further advanced industry intelligence; the same year, it was awarded the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s “Artificial Intelligence Industry Innovation Award”; by 2025, it will release the smart connected cleaning robot “Swarm,” which exceeded 100 units sold within six months of launch and has been scaled in over 20 provinces and 60 cities nationwide.

Today, standing at the forefront of a new wave of technological iteration, Yingfeng Environment’s latest intelligent achievements have deeply integrated into all operational scenarios and processes—featuring intelligent control, smart management, intelligent interaction, and remote upgrades—making each sanitation device a perceptible, communicative, and evolvable intelligent terminal.

The transformation and upgrading of sanitation equipment toward new energy and intelligence ultimately translate into perceptible value for customers: improved operational efficiency, reduced usage costs, lowered safety risks, zero carbon emissions, enhanced comfort, and balanced economic and social benefits—making each piece of equipment a smarter partner that better understands customer needs and scene requirements, continuously leading the industry toward a more efficient and sustainable future.

With 40 years of deep cultivation in the sanitation industry, 19 years of accumulated new energy technology, and ongoing investment in intelligent R&D, Yingfeng Environment has established leading advantages across product development, manufacturing, quality, and service, continuously driving industry transformation and growth. This leadership is ultimately reflected in tangible market performance: 25 consecutive years as the industry’s top seller of sanitation equipment, four consecutive years as the top in new energy sanitation equipment, with a market share reaching a new high of 35% in 2025. In the future, Yingfeng Environment will continue to empower industry transformation through technology, fulfilling its mission to “Make the world cleaner and the future better.”
