This morning, Lei Jun posted on his personal Weibo footage of testing the Xiaomi SU7 at the Guangde test site in Anhui Province a year ago.
Why did you choose to test in Guangde, Anhui Province? What is so special about this test site? Just one year ago, reporters from the National Traffic Broadcasting Department walked into this test site with reporters from the National Traffic Broadcasting Department for the 100-hour Traveling in China -- 100 Hours of Direct Coverage in Guangde, Anhui Province.
As the "bridgehead" for Anhui Province to participate in the industrial division of labor and cooperation in the Yangtze River Delta, the pilot area of the "one place and six counties" cooperation zone, and the pilot area of the national strategy of the Suzhou-Anhui cooperation demonstration zone, Guangde has taken advantage of its unique location advantages and high-quality service environment to cultivate four 10 billion industries of auto parts, information electronics, new materials and intelligent complete sets of equipment.

Guangde has also been recognized by the Anhui Provincial Government as a "characteristic industrial cluster (base) of automobiles and parts", and the scale of industrial radiation and agglomeration effect have been further revealed.
Inspection and testing is a high-tech service industry and producer service industry supported by the state, and a key link in the industrial chain, value chain and innovation chain. Relying on two major automobile inspection and testing platforms, Guangde accelerates the development of related automobile industry.
Shanghai GM Guangde test site
In October 2007, after an inspection of four regions in Shanghai, Zhejiang and Anhui, SAIC-GM decided to settle the first domestic and the 11th global automobile R&D and testing center in Guangde, Anhui Province.
In 2012, Shanghai GM Guangde Test Yard was completed and put into operation, with a total investment of about 2.1 billion yuan. Once it is used, it has refreshed a number of records - it has become a comprehensive R&D test base with the largest area, the strongest test capacity and the highest degree of intelligence in the country.
The center covers an area of about 5.67 square kilometers, which is equivalent to 794 international standard football fields. It has a total length of more than 70 kilometers of test roads and 70 typical characteristic pavements, including high-speed loops, dynamic performance test areas, straight performance roads and other test areas, covering almost all typical road conditions in China. The test center can accommodate 140 vehicles for testing at the same time, with a total annual test mileage of 20 million kilometers.
In addition, the R&D test center also has a total area of about 23,000 square meters of laboratory, maintenance workshop, confidential workshop and other complete test auxiliary facilities, which are excellent in functionality and advancement.
Mr. Qian Huikang, Executive Vice President of GM and President of GM China, has been present in Guangde for 13 years, said: "The Guangde R&D and Test Center has helped our joint venture meet the highest domestic and international standards in terms of product performance, quality, safety and durability. Guangde R&D test center greatly improves the efficiency of product testing and saves R&D time and test costs. ”
For Guangde, the "General Test Ground" has become a golden signboard. The merchant said bluntly: "We are here for 'GM'!" With the influence of SAIC-GM and the circle of friends, many auto parts companies have come to Guangzhou to put into production, forming a highly competitive industrial cluster.
Located in Guangde City, Anhui Province, Shanghai Auto Inspection Guangde Branch is a vehicle testing base integrating "laboratory + test field" wholly invested and constructed by Shanghai Auto Inspection, covering an area of more than 700 acres.
On November 20, 2020, the Guangde Base of the National Motor Vehicle Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Center (Shanghai) held a launching ceremony. This is an extension of the superior resources of Shanghai's automobile industry in the Yangtze River Delta region, and it is also a strong technical support for national industry management and product quality supervision in the Yangtze River Delta region. "Shanghai Auto Inspection" has become another very appealing "business card" of Guangde, and it also marks that Guangde's auto parts industry has entered a rapid development channel.
"Shanghai Auto Inspection" is located in Qiucun Town, Guangde City, adjacent to SAIC-GM Guangde Test Ground, and is a vehicle testing base integrating "laboratory + test site". The base covers an area of more than 700 acres, which can meet the development and certification tests of automotive products with an axle load of no more than 13 tons and a total mass of no more than 55 tons.
The new energy power battery laboratory of "Shanghai Auto Inspection" is the only place in East China designed and built according to Class A safety standards, and has the ability to cover abuse tests such as overcharge, fire, acupuncture, extrusion, and drop of large battery packs, and the automotive safety laboratory can carry out live crash tests of large electric commercial vehicles, filling the gap in the Yangtze River Delta region.
The Guangde base has been put into use to fully meet the product research and development, testing and certification needs of automobile-related enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta region. From traditional fuel vehicles to new energy and intelligent networked vehicle testing, from auto parts to vehicle testing, the technical advantages of the "national brand" quality inspection center have been fully utilized, which not only helps promote the transformation and upgrading of the German automobile industry, but also provides "hard core" support for the construction of the Yangtze River Delta automobile industry chain.
In recent years, the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta, the construction of the "one place and six counties" cooperation zone and the Suzhou-Anhui cooperation demonstration zone have been continuously promoted, and the advantages of Guangde City, located in the "heart of the Yangtze River Delta", have become more prominent.
Today's Guangde, has established from casting (forging), finishing, cold pier and other links of the automobile and parts supporting processing system, products cover engine parts, automotive bearings, drive train accessories, brake accessories, walking system accessories, rubber sealing shock absorbers, interior and exterior decoration, maintenance equipment and other fields, can produce 6 categories of more than 8,000 kinds of products, accounting for 40% of the total number of auto parts products, vehicle supporting and vehicle manufacturing capacity is accelerating the formation, with many "domestic first" "the world's first" "domestic leading". "Industry-leading".
The high-quality industrial base and development environment not only attracted Shanghai General Motors R&D Test Center and Shanghai National Motor Vehicle Product Quality Inspection Center, but also gathered many industry leaders represented by Yongmaotai, Zhongding Automobile and Asia-Pacific Group.
As an important part of the Yangtze River Delta automobile industry chain, Guangde seizes the major opportunities of new energy vehicles and intelligent networked vehicles, relies on the basic advantages of inspection and testing, further taps the development potential of the automobile industry, and plans to build a 50 billion-level auto parts industry cluster by the end of the "14th Five-Year Plan" and build an influential one-stop base for new energy vehicles in the country.
