During the summit, EqualOcean debuted the "2022 China Brand Globalization Index Report." The report evaluates various dimensions including revenue and its share outside China, the number of revenue-generating countries outside China, the percentage of international business teams, marketing and localization investment outside China, brand reputation outside China, and ESG. This led to the generation of the "EqualOcean 2022 China Global Brand 100 List," on which Westwell proudly sits.

So far, Westwell has participated in many benchmark cases globally. In April 2020, a fleet of Westwell Q-Truck full-time automatic heavy trucks was implemented at Hutchison Port Group's Laem Chabang Terminal in Thailand. This project stood out as one of the first batches of Chinese intelligent projects launched overseas amid the pandemic. It was also the first mixed-operation of autonomous and manually driven vehicles at a global port. In 2021, the Q-Truck autonomous truck fleet started operating at the CSP Abu Dhabi Terminal, showcasing an "agent operation of autonomous driving commercial vehicles" model to aid the initiation of port digital intelligence transformation.

In numerous global initiatives, Westwell has constantly assisted ports in enhancing production efficiency, reducing operational costs, significantly improving safety, and driving the digital and intelligent evolution of global ports. Additionally, the summit featured the inauguration of the "China Brand Globalization Alliance," with Westwell becoming a founding member alongside other global enterprises.
