approximately 8600 mu (about 573 hectares) the site is divided into five core zones: intelligent connectivity performance testing durability
testing laboratory testing and operations and maintenance services. A total of 22 high-standard test tracks are planned for phased construction
supporting a full spectrum of vehicle types including both commercial and passenger vehicles. Phase I centered on intelligent connectivity and
performance testing commenced operations in 2024. Notably the intelligent connectivity zone replicates 382 autonomous driving scenarios
making it the most comprehensive closed ICV testing area in China. The performance testing zone includes 8 types of special road surfaces for

companies to establish an end-to-end compliance system covering raw material sourcing production transportation and export. It also
mandates comprehensive environmental due diligence across the entire supply chain to ensure sustainability.To meet these requirements Sailun Group established a cross-functional task force involving the supply chain quality management and legal
departments to drive compliance system reconstruction and digital traceability upgrades. We have established a raw material segregation

Solid Waste Management
We strictly comply with applicable local laws regulations and policies on solid waste management. We have developed science-based classification methods and compliant handling procedures to ensure full control over the
generation storage and transfer of hazardous waste. Qualified third-party organizations are engaged to conduct compliant treatment. Specifically general solid waste is handled by licensed local agencies through waste-to-energy
incineration or material recycling. For hazardous waste factory-specific management plans are in place to reinforce full-lifecycle control including maintaining tracking records using standardized transfer manifests and ensuring
traceability throughout the process. Meanwhile all hazardous waste is transferred to certified third-party organizations for compliant disposal.Alongside compliant management we set quantitative waste reduction targets with a clear goal to reduce waste generation by 1200 tonnes in 2024. Meanwhile we implement factory-wide reduction plans across all operations.Various initiatives are conducted to enhance waste recovery and reuse. For general waste we reduce rubber scrap by optimizing production processes and installing rubber shredding units. For hazardous waste we reduce generation
and achieve efficient reuse through innovations like filtration and purification technologies and waste oil recovery units. During the reporting period our seven operational factories collectively reduced nearly 1300 tonnes of hazardous
waste further lowering the volume of hazardous waste for disposal and lessening environmental pollution and ecological burden. In 2024 we successfully achieved our annual waste reduction target.About the Message from ECO-GOVERNANCE: ECO-PRODUCTION: ECO-PLANET: ECO-HARMONY:
