In 2024, the company achieved a historic breakthrough in the emergency response equipment sector: leveraging core products such as forward command vehicles and equipment transport vehicles, it successfully secured contracts for emergency response capability enhancement projects with fire and rescue brigades in Hubei, Heilongjiang, Qinghai, and other regions. Orders from the trillion-yuan government bond project alone exceeded 800 units, with output value surpassing 200 million yuan and orders growing by 50% year-over-year. That same year, the company expanded its marketing channels through Douyin live streams, and civilian products such as camping vehicles entered markets in Europe, the United States, and South America. In 2025, the company won the bid for the Taian City Comprehensive Management Project for High-Risk Forest Fire Areas and secured new invention patents, including the “Multi-Mode Vehicle-Mounted Equipment Application System,” further solidifying its leading position in the emergency specialty vehicle sector.
After more than two decades of steadfast progress, Zhenxu Vehicle & Ship has forged a development path characterized by “technology patenting, product differentiation, and industrial scaling,” with “component manufacturing” as its foundation and “special-purpose vehicle integration” as its wings. Moving forward, the company will continue to uphold the philosophy of “survival through quality and development through innovation,” deepening its commitment to the emergency safety sector and contributing further to the innovative development of China’s special-purpose vehicle industry.

With the start of the 14th Five-Year Plan period, the company has entered a fast track of high-quality development. In 2021, the company successfully gained access to the Ministry of Public Security’s police equipment procurement platform, becoming a supplier of police equipment to the Ministry, and was recognized as a “Little Giant” enterprise in Hubei Province’s Specialized, Refined, Unique, and Innovative (SRUI) initiative. Since then, the company has continued to deepen its “industry-academia-research-application” collaboration, jointly developing cutting-edge equipment such as drone countermeasures and integrated land-sea-air defense systems with institutions including the Third Research Institute of the Ministry of Public Security and the Tsinghua University Hefei Research Institute, achieving continuous breakthroughs in technological capabilities. In 2022, the company was awarded the “Shiyan City High-Quality Development Award”; in 2023, it was successfully designated as a “Hubei Provincial Manufacturing Single-Champion Enterprise.” Its specialized vehicle product portfolio now spans eight major categories with over 220 models, and its brand influence has expanded from regional markets to the national level.

2018 marked a pivotal turning point in the company’s development—that year, the company successfully obtained a production license for special-purpose vehicles, officially transitioning from a “parts supplier” to a “special-purpose vehicle R&D manufacturer,” and launched its own brand, “Zhengyuan.” Since then, the company has focused on sectors such as emergency response, power, public security, and military logistics, rapidly introducing products including rescue vehicles, command vehicles, and power supply vehicles. In 2019, it became a member of the National Emergency Industry Alliance and was selected as a “Preferred Supplier” by China Southern Power Grid. In 2020, the company’s Mobile Emergency Energy Storage Power Supply Vehicle project won the Third Prize in the National “Productivity Promotion (Innovative Development)” Awards, marking national-level recognition of its technological innovation capabilities.

In June 2002, the company’s predecessor, “Shiyan Zhenxu Auto Parts Co., Ltd.,” was established. Initially focused on the prototyping and production of automotive components, the company supplied military vehicle parts and interior components to leading enterprises such as Dongfeng Off-Road Vehicles, thereby laying a solid foundation in manufacturing processes and quality control. During this phase, the company focused on its niche market, obtained ISO 9001 quality management system certification, and gradually established a comprehensive R&D and production system for automotive components, laying the groundwork for future transformation and upgrading.
