"The schedule was extremely tight -- just two years, while comparable projects elsewhere usually take more than three," Du Xiao, project manager of the stadium for China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC), told Xinhua in a recent interview. "There is a very real sense of pride."
According to Du, the stadium has no running track, bringing spectators close to the pitch. Its seats take on the green, red and black of Kenya's national flag, while the facade features the traditional shield and spear of the Maasai people.
Upon completion, the stadium is set to be renamed the Raila Odinga International Stadium, in honor of Kenya's late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
The roof adopts a cable-supported grid system erected with a "cable-first, steel-after" method, which Du said is the first of its kind independently designed and built by China. Without temporary steel supports, 48 radial cables are tensioned to lift six ring cables before steel trusses are laid on top, saving at least three months of construction time, with displacement controlled to the millimeter. In 2025 alone, some 1,300 containers of materials and equipment were shipped from China to the site.
For CRBC, the stadium is only the latest chapter of a much longer story. The company built its first road in Kenya in 1984, and over 42 years, its footprint has extended from roads to bridges, ports, railways and buildings.
Du Shan, the executive general manager of CRBC Kenya office, recalled that before 2008, Nairobi was cut apart by three rivers and a cross-district trip could take more than three hours. After CRBC completed the ring roads, the journey now takes about 50 minutes. The company is also expanding the A8, a national trunk road, from two lanes to four and six, she said.
On the Mombasa-Nairobi Standard Gauge Railway, wildlife corridors were built with a clearance of more than six meters, "so that giraffes can pass with their heads held high," Du Shan said.
"Working overseas, we should not arrive thinking about changing the place. We should first adapt to and learn from the local community," he said. "What many projects truly open up is not just roads and railways, but trust between people."
The stadium sits near Kibera, Kenya's largest informal settlement. Du Xiao remembers a local young man named Sammy, who had no skills when he applied for a job but volunteered for the project's equipment training and became a pump truck operator. "I asked him why he worked so hard. He said, 'I never thought I would have the chance to touch these machines. Now I feel I can support my whole family.'"
According to Du Shan, the project recruited nearly 500 young workers from the neighborhood during construction, many of whom have qualified as assistant engineers, while about 280 local youths were mentored into technical backbones during the construction of the Mombasa-Nairobi railway.
More than 350 CRBC employees have worked overseas for over a decade, and each year the company awards them a gold medal for long-term dedication, she said. "The medal is not only an honor, but also a kind of warmth. Because 42 years -- it has truly not been easy."
When his child was born, Du Xiao was at a critical stage of the Nairobi Expressway project and could not make it home. "People in overseas engineering live in two worlds -- the project site on one side, the family on the other. All you can do is try to do a little better on each side," he said.
"Maybe I will one day leave this country. But this stadium will remain," he said. "I came here to build projects. Then I found that this country has shaped who I am today."
。1月10日，路透社报道称，大众和福特将于下周宣布一个更深入的联盟，该联盟将超越商用车，为汽车制造商开发新技术节省数十亿美元。福特和大众一直在寻求更密切的合作，因为汽车制造商被迫重新考虑他们的汽车在欧洲、美国和中国的位置，许多软件技术公司正准备推出他们自己的自动驾驶汽车。”一位知情人士说：“（两家公司）预计将宣布全球联盟。”他补充说，该协议将于下周二在底特律车展上宣布。
二 | 这两家公司此前曾表示，任何联盟都不会涉及合并或股权。这一不断扩大的联盟突显出全球所有汽车制造商面临的压力越来越大，这些制造商要求他们管理开发电动汽车和自动驾驶汽车的成本，以及满足未来几年销售的数百万台内燃机更严格排放标准所需的技术。中国和美国这两个全球最大的汽车市场增长放缓，加大了削减成本的压力。
三 | 据知情人士透露，该联盟的范围仍在电动汽车和自动驾驶仪领域的合作谈判过程中。
四 | ”谈判进展顺利，”一位知情人士说。该人士补充说，该联盟框架将包括整合自动驾驶技术和大众的资源，以投资福特的汽车业务，以及福特授权的大众的MEB电动汽车平台。
五 | 知情人士说，当两家公司下周宣布成立商用车联盟时，他们还将表示，他们即将达成一项涉及自动驾驶和电动汽车的交易。大众汽车的高管们表示，他们希望能在福特的工厂里找到福特的商用货车和游骑兵中型皮卡，并生产汽车。福特周三重申，它一直在与公众讨论在许多领域进行合作的可能性。”福特在一份声明中说：“现在披露更多细节还为时过早。”我们期待尽快分享最新消息。”福特股价周三下午上涨3.9%，至8.70美元。大众汽车股价上涨2.4%，至146.48欧元。今年6月，福特和大众宣布了一项商用车协议，包括一辆面包车，并补充说，他们正在调查“几个联合项目”。去年12月，大众汽车首席执行官赫伯特·迪泽（Herbert Dease）表示：“我们正在与福特进行深入的谈判和对话，以真正建立一个全球汽车联盟，这也将加强美国汽车工业。”当时，福特汽车公司执行主席比尔·福特（Bill Ford Jr.）表示，与大众汽车就联盟进行的谈判正在进行中。“非常顺利”。
六 | 戴斯公开谈论大众希望通过潜在联盟实现的节约和效率。
七 | 大众汽车的高管们一再强调，使电动汽车成为大众市场产品的唯一途径是通过规模经济，使消费者能够像燃料汽车一样负担得起。自2017年5月福特首席执行官吉姆•哈克特（Jim Hackett）从马克•菲尔德（Mark Field）手中接掌权力以来，他被命令加快决策速度并降低成本，与大众汽车的联盟一直是他最大的赌注。一些分析师和投资者对福特股价的低迷表现和对110亿美元重组计划的细节缺乏感到失望。福特高管称，商用车项目“立即”进行，并讨论了更广泛的合作将如何使美国第二大汽车制造商减少不同车型的生产，降低制造、工程和采购成本。该联盟将帮助福特实现到2020年将全球税前利润率翻番至8%的目标，高于2018年第三季度的4.4%。2018年7月，福特成立了一个独立的部门来发展其自动驾驶业务，并正在寻找外部投资者，这类似于通用汽车的自动驾驶部分巡航自动控制方法。
八 | 福特随后表示，到2023年，将向新的福特汽车驾驶有限责任公司投资40亿美元，其中包括分配给阿尔戈艾的10亿美元，后者是2017年收购的匹兹堡汽车驾驶初创公司。福特预计将于2021年推出自动驾驶仪，届时，为自动驾驶仪设计的新车辆结构预计将就绪。底特律车展将于1月14日至27日举行。
