On September 2, the 21st China International Tire and Wheel Expo (CITEXPO 2026) opened in Shanghai. After 21 years of continuous development, the exhibition has become a highly influential professional trade show for tires and wheels in the Asia-Pacific region. Prinx Chengshan is presenting its four major brands — PRINX, Chengshan, Austone and Fortune — at the show.
In recent years, Prinx Chengshan has focused on the off-the-road (OTR) tire sector. The company has built and commissioned a green smart factory for OTR tires, successfully achieving mass production of giant tires in sizes such as 27.00R49, 30.00R51 and 33.00R51. In August this year, the first 57-inch giant tire 46/90R57 rolled off the production line, further improving the giant tire product matrix and marking a new stage in the R&D and manufacturing of specialty tires. The rigid dump truck tire ERD47 and the wide-body dump truck tire ET36 on display at this exhibition are a powerful testament to Prinx Chengshan's continued breakthroughs in R&D and innovation and its steadily improving manufacturing capabilities in the OTR tire sector.
In the passenger vehicle segment, the Austone MEI series launched this year is making its collective appearance at the exhibition. Guided by the Austone value proposition of "Confidence in Every Drive, Charm on Every Road," this series features three distinctly positioned products: the high-performance AT tire Meizong, the ultra-high-performance tire Meijie, and the high-performance tire Meitu. It fully considers the diverse needs of various users, delivering systematic solutions for different driving scenarios. The Prinx Chroma Sprite is also on display. Its colored sidewalls break free from the traditional color constraints of tires, injecting fresh vitality into the industry's diversified and innovative development. It also features Silenteck noise-reduction technology and anti-photo-oxidation protection technology, delivering outstanding noise reduction and aging resistance, and adding a lasting, vibrant splash of color to the exhibition.
With years of experience in the commercial vehicle sector, Prinx Chengshan has built extensive industry expertise and strong competitive advantages. It has developed a range of proprietary, cutting-edge technologies, including GPT low rolling resistance technology, X-CHIP intelligent tire technology and ETT wear-resistance technology for electric truck tires. These innovations have helped the Company set a benchmark in the replacement market while achieving broad, balanced growth in the original equipment markets for heavy-duty trucks, medium-duty trucks, light trucks and light buses. At the exhibition, the company is showcasing the Austone AAR608, designed for long-haul and regional applications on well-maintained roads, with outstanding high load capacity and resistance to uneven wear. In addition, with its puncture resistance, high load-carrying capacity and low heat buildup, the Fortune FDO307 is highly suited to demanding mining conditions. From in-mine operations to transport within mining sites, Prinx Chengshan's system solutions for industrial and mining applications are becoming increasingly comprehensive.
In the future, Prinx Chengshan will continue to adhere to its "Product + Service" philosophy, gain deep insights into the differentiated needs of global users, increase R&D investment, promote the coordinated development of the industrial chain and supply chain in the global tire industry, and achieve comprehensive breakthroughs in product strength, service quality, and brand influence, injecting strong momentum into the sustainable development of the global transportation industry with "Intelligent Manufacturing in China".
