Henan Transportation Investment Group recently held its 2024 annual work conference, outlining a clear "roadmap" for the development of the transportation sector in the province this year. To promote the high-quality completion and opening of 10 highway projects, including the Luoshan to Henan Hubei border section of the Anluo Expressway, the construction of the Zhoukou Port Central Port Area began in early April.

According to data, Henan Communications Investment Group, as the core force in the investment and financing construction of major transportation projects in the province, achieved a revenue of 116.75 billion yuan, a total profit of 6.22 billion yuan, and total assets of 712.79 billion yuan in 2023, a year-on-year increase of 11.3%. This year, Henan Communications Investment Group will focus on key project construction and make every effort to promote the construction of the first phase of the Zhoukou Port Central Port Area project. The project is scheduled to officially start construction in early April, and the group will be committed to building a smart port with first-class port and shipping infrastructure, first-class shipping technology and equipment, and at the forefront of digitalization in the country. In addition, the waterway renovation, expansion, and upgrading projects in the Shaying River Basin will also be vigorously promoted, with an expected investment of 8 billion yuan for the whole year. In the field of highway construction, we will ensure the completion of a construction investment of 73.56 billion yuan and promote the high-quality completion and opening of 10 highway projects, including the Luoshan to Henan Hubei border section of the Anluo Expressway. These 10 projects have a total mileage of 541 kilometers and will bring great convenience to transportation in Henan Province and surrounding areas, further promoting the prosperity and development of the regional economy.

At the same time, we actively respond to the national new energy development strategy and fully launch the "Millions of Projects". The project aims to build and operate over 100 pairs of green "zero carbon" service areas within five years, with an additional installed capacity of over 1000 megawatts of photovoltaic power and more than 10000 charging parking spaces. This year, the focus will be on highways such as Lianhuo, Beijing Hong Kong Macau, Zhengzhou Ring Road, and Daguang, focusing on construction projects such as photovoltaics, energy storage, and charging and swapping. The plan is to invest more than 1 billion yuan, add more than 200 megawatts of photovoltaic installed capacity, more than 30 megawatts of energy storage, and more than 3000 charging parking spaces. In addition, Henan Communications Investment Group will establish the Group Transportation Industry Research Institute, dedicated to promoting the transformation and application of more technological innovation achievements in areas such as highway construction, management and operation, new energy development, inland waterway transportation, and smart highways.
