In September 2013, China’s President Xi Jinping proposed a strategic plan to develop the Silk Road Economic Belt, an important component of the Belt and Road Initiative. An ambitious vision to promote China’s infrastructure, and stimulate economic integration for the Country, both nationally and locally.

Road transportation is the most important aspect of the Silk Road Economic Belt, with the key region of Xinjiang Uyghur playing an important part in strengthening the highway network.

Freetech is playing a vital role with their “Road Doctors” – environmental-friendly and highly efficient Hot-In-Place Recycling Trains. They have proved their effectiveness successfully completing the rehabilitation of nearly one hundred highways, provincial roads, and city roads in Xinjiang.

In July 2011, prior to the Asia-Europe Expo, the capital of the Xinjiang region, Ürümchi, called in Freetech to improve their road maintenance with Hot-In-Place Recycling Technology.

Over four years, Freetech worked hard to improve the city roads, airport expressway, and the roundabouts in Ürümchi.
