As the spring sun gradually returns and everything begins to renew, on the occasion of the New Year holiday, on behalf of Zhongzi Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd., I would like to extend holiday greetings and best wishes to our long-term customers, investors, people from all walks of life who care about the company, and all hardworking employees and their families! Wishing everyone good health and a happy New Year!

         2022 is an extremely extraordinary year. Faced with adverse factors such as repeated outbreaks of the epidemic, high temperatures and power shortages, and insufficient effective market demand, all Chinese people have not backed down and have responded to various challenges with a positive attitude. During the COVID-19, half of the Chinese people lived in the company, lived in small homes and cared for everyone. They were closed for two times for 25 days to ensure the delivery of products to customers on schedule and ensure the safety and stability of supply.

         2022 is a year of significant strategic importance. Under the leadership of the new board of directors and management, the company is committed to reform and innovation, optimizing its organizational structure, continuously improving its internal control system and processes, and forming an operational management system that meets the requirements of the public company. The company's market and technical team capabilities have been further enhanced. We are striving to achieve our dream with high spirits.

         The company has made positive progress in market development. The ultra-low precious metal natural gas exhaust purification catalyst product developed by the company has passed the durability test of Weichai Power WP13 National VI Natural Gas Engine and successfully obtained environmental information disclosure from the Ministry of Ecology and Environment. As of today, the company has a total of 17 National VI natural gas engines, 8 National VI diesel engines, 15 National IV non road engines, and 893 National VI gasoline vehicles, laying a solid foundation for sales in 2023.

         The company has achieved a series of innovative results in technology research and development. The company fully utilizes its advantages as a national enterprise technology center and vigorously invests in technology research and development. As of now, the company has applied for 212 patents and authorized 86 invention patents, including 3 European and American invention patents. Received the "First Prize of Sichuan Patent Award" and "First Prize of Tianjin Science and Technology Award" respectively from the People's Government of Sichuan Province.

         The company spares no effort in talent cultivation and team building, and has trained one Sichuan Province March 8th Red Flag bearer, one Chengdu craftsman, and one high-tech craftsman. We look forward to more employees growing, becoming successful, and realizing their career plans in Zhongzi Technology.

         In 2022, under the guidance of the "3060" dual carbon target, the company has already laid out the research and development of advanced technologies and products such as hydrogen fuel cell series products, solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC/SOEC), energy storage and power batteries in the new energy business, and continues to achieve good results. The company has successfully completed the mass production line for hydrogen fuel cell electrocatalysts under the key special project "Synthesis Technology and Batch Preparation of High Performance Anti Poisoning Vehicle Fuel Cell Catalysts" of the "13th Five Year Plan" National Key R&D Program for Renewable Energy and Hydrogen Energy Technology, which has passed the mid-term evaluation of the Ministry of Science and Technology.

         The year is always changing, and the new chapter is constantly emerging. Looking ahead to 2023, the company will deeply study and implement the new requirements and expectations put forward in the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, such as reducing carbon emissions and pollution, promoting environmental pollution prevention and control, and continuously fighting the battle to protect the blue sky. We will keep in mind our original mission and the "two healths", achieve independent and controllable core technologies, and continue to uphold the mission of "controlling air pollution and realizing blue sky and white clouds". Actively undertake the comprehensive implementation and implementation of the National VI B emission standards for light and heavy vehicles and the National IV emission standards for non road vehicles, and support the three major battles of eliminating heavy pollution weather, preventing and controlling ozone pollution, and controlling diesel truck pollution with practical actions. The company will continue to deepen its cultivation in the fields of new materials and new energy, and support various sectors of society in carrying out carbon peak and carbon neutrality actions with leading technology and products, promoting green and low-carbon new development!

         In 2023, let us work hand in hand, stand at a new height and a new starting point, deeply cultivate the market and seek development, innovate and build dreams to win the future!
