Recently, the China Association for Science and Technology Industrialization (CASTI) announced the list of the 2025 "CASTI Science and Technology Award" winners. The project "Key Technologies and Applications for High-Value Utilization of High-Content Plant-Mixed Hot Recycled Asphalt Mixture," in which CCCC Xizhu participated as a research partner, won the Second Prize of the Science and Technology Innovation Award.

The China Association for Science and Technology Industrialization Science and Technology Award is a social science and technology award approved and established by the National Office for Science and Technology Awards (Award No. 0255), aimed at commending individuals and teams that have made outstanding contributions in the fields of scientific and technological innovation and industrialization. Among them, the Science and Technology Innovation Award recognizes projects that have achieved breakthrough results in basic research, applied research, or technological development.

As one of the participating units, the company was deeply involved in the project's technological research and development and practice, working hand in hand with partner units to overcome the challenge of high-value utilization of high-content hot recycled asphalt concrete in cold regions, resulting in a series of breakthrough innovations. In particular, the company played a key supporting role in the research and development of recycling equipment and its industrial application. According to testing by a third-party institution, the project results fully meet the relevant standards and have received positive feedback from actual applications by multiple users in different regions. The project possesses fully independent intellectual property rights and can not only significantly reduce resource consumption and carbon emissions, bringing considerable economic benefits, but also deliver important social benefits by promoting the green and low-carbon development of transportation infrastructure, with broad application prospects.

This award is both a high recognition of the project team's scientific and technological innovation capabilities and an acknowledgment of the company's technical strength and industry contributions in the field of road construction machinery. In the future, the company will continue to deepen technological innovation, focus on the green and intelligent needs of transportation construction, provide equipment support and solutions for technological breakthroughs in more infrastructure fields, and help drive high-quality development of the industry.
