Kazakhstan customers visited and ordered refrigerated trucks
This morning, a delegation from KazCold, Kazakhstan’s largest cold chain logistics company, arrived in Suizhou, Hubei, for a three-day business visit. The primary purpose of this visit is to deepen cooperation with Anchi, a Suizhou-based refrigerated truck manufacturer, and jointly promote the development of cold chain logistics in Central Asia. Anchi, a leading domestic refrigerated truck manufacturer with 10 years of experience, sells its products to over 30 countries and regions. This visit from Kazakhstan marks another significant step for Anchi in the Central Asian market. In Anchi’s modern production workshop, the delegation toured the production line for its -25°C refrigerated trucks.
The Kazakh customers expressed great interest in the insulation performance of the vehicle compartments. Technicians demonstrated door seal testing on-site, and the leak-proof results impressed the guests. The factory’s advanced automated welding robots also captivated the audience. KazCold Technical Director Ilyas specifically remarked, “We are deeply impressed by Anchi’s production process. This level of quality assurance is exactly what we need for transport across extreme climates.” On the production line, the delegation members also personally experienced the vehicle assembly process and expressed their high appreciation for Anchi’s rigorous quality control standards. At a signing ceremony this afternoon, Anchi and KazCold formalized a strategic partnership, placing an initial order for 20 customized refrigerated trucks for a total value exceeding 5 million yuan. These vehicles will be designed specifically for fresh produce transportation in Kazakhstan and equipped with Anchi’s proprietary intelligent temperature control system, which monitors and automatically adjusts cargo temperature in real time.
Anchi General Manager Wang Xiong stated in his speech, “We have specially reinforced the chassis structure for these vehicles to fully adapt to Kazakhstan’s complex road conditions.” KazCold CEO Aydar Mamur emphasized that Anchi’s refrigerated truck technology will help us significantly reduce transportation losses, with an estimated 40% reduction in fresh produce losses on the Almaty-Astana route. The two parties also agreed to jointly establish an after-sales service center in Kazakhstan, providing 24-hour technical support. This collaborative model signals the evolution of Made in China from product exports to service delivery. At the dinner, a Suizhou-style mushroom feast complemented traditional Kazakh cuisine. A specially prepared chime performance by Anchi and an impromptu Kazakh dombra ensemble brought the cultural exchange to a climax. Members of the KazCold delegation raved about the Suizhou sausages and bubble tea, while Anchi employees were captivated by the unique flavor of Kazakh baursak. This dialogue between food and music vividly illustrates the legacy of friendship along the Silk Road. The two parties agreed to complete the delivery of the first batch of vehicles before next Spring Festival, with a grand handover ceremony to follow. They also plan to jointly host the Central Asia Cold Chain Development Forum in Nur-Sultan to further deepen their cooperation.
