At the Portuguese round of the World Superbike Championship (WSBK), the Chinese brand Zhangxue Motorcycle (ZXMOTO) claimed a double victory. The achievement broke a decades-long monopoly held by European and US manufacturers and wrote a new chapter in the sport's history.

Behind the breakthrough lies founder Zhang Xue's two-decade dedication to the sport, China's determination to overcome technological barriers in advanced manufacturing, and Bank of China's steady financial support for the long-term development of a homegrown enterprise.

Back in 2025, ZXMOTO was at a critical phase of product development and market expansion, facing funding pressure as it ramped up production capacity. In December of that year, BOC recognized the company's technological potential and swiftly extended a loan. This was one of the first credit facilities extended to ZXMOTO by financial institutions in Chongqing, providing a stable foundation for the company's operations and allowing it to focus on R&D and market planning with greater confidence in its future in high-end motorcycle manufacturing.

As the brand began to gain recognition on the international racing circuit, its need for scaled-up production became increasingly urgent. In February 2026, the Chongqing branch of BOC acted as the lead arranger of a syndicated loan to provide further credit support to ZXMOTO. The funds were precisely allocated to project construction and the procurement of advanced equipment, injecting fresh momentum into the company's continued expansion.

To help translate ZXMOTO's competitive edge on the track into a lasting industrial advantage, BOC assembled a dedicated team and opened a fast-track service channel to tailor a comprehensive financial services package for the company. The support was designed to refine the coordination of R&D, production, and supply chain integration, thereby strengthening its capacity for complete vehicle manufacturing and the independent production of core components. 

The championship victory of ZXMOTO reflects the broader upgrading of Chongqing's motorcycle industry. As a mainstay in serving the real economy, BOC has consistently increased its support for high-quality private manufacturing enterprises, directing financial resources toward advanced manufacturing and the development of new quality productive forces. The outstanding credit balance related to the motorcycle industry at BOC's Chongqing branch has exceeded RMB 1.8 billion (USD 263.34 million), steadily supporting the transformation and upgrading of Chongqing's motorcycle industry and the development of advanced manufacturing in the region.

BOC will continue to focus on high-end manufacturing, technological innovation, and other key areas, providing more targeted financial services to inject sustained momentum into industrial upgrading and the development of new quality productive forces.
