Just one day before the first media open day of the Beijing Motor Show
Director and Chief Financial Officer of BMW Group
Walter Myrtle and his entourage came to Zhangjiagang
Walter Myrtle said that Zhangjiagang has complete industrial facilities and a superior business environment, which provides high-quality conditions for the rapid development of the beam car project.
April 26th
At the Suzhou Global Investment Conference
Gao Xiang, President and CEO of BMW Group Greater China, said that in 2018, Beam Motors settled in Zhangjiagang, thanks to the support of the government, a high-quality business environment, abundant human resources and efficient services, and the new car was successfully unveiled.
In 2018, the Great Wall BMW Beam Vehicle Project settled in Zhangjiagang, creating a new node and platform for the development of the city's new energy vehicle industry, and also creating a new example of open cooperation in China's automobile industry.
As a strong alliance in the new energy vehicle industry chain, the Great Wall BMW Beam Automobile Project has taken deep roots in Zhangjiagang for five years, and it is also the five years for the accelerated layout of Zhangjiagang's new energy automobile industry chain. In the Zhangjiagang Economic and Technological Development Zone, the agglomeration of a number of leading enterprises of automobile vehicles and parts such as Beam Automobile, ZF, Magna, and JATCO has opened up the whole industrial chain of "automotive interior and exterior decoration, automotive electronics, automobile drive, vehicle control, and vehicle manufacturing", and realized the strong momentum of the development of new energy vehicle industry clusters.
The pattern of "chain" development has been established
The automobile industry is one of the powerful driving forces for the sustained growth of the regional economy due to its large scale, long chain and strong driving force. As the main direction of the transformation and upgrading of the automobile industry, new energy vehicles are flourishing. In Zhangjiagang, the head goose leads, the goose flies high, and the agglomeration effect is a prominent feature of the development of the automobile industry.
Looking at the city, more than 100 auto parts manufacturers, more than 60 industrial enterprises in the automotive industry agglomeration, with the "chain" development thinking continues to penetrate into the new energy sector, more and more enterprises on the new energy project, the new energy vehicle industry chain "core puzzle" has gradually been clearly presented.
As the upstream link of the industrial chain of new energy vehicles, the lithium battery industry has fully reflected the development trend of the new energy vehicle industry. Zhangjiagang lithium power battery system has a total of 25 enterprises in the industrial chain, building an industrial pattern covering upstream materials, midstream lithium batteries, and downstream terminal applications for common development.
Walking into the first phase of the workshop of Taiyuan New Energy Vehicle Lightweight Parts Base located in the High-tech Zone (Tangqiao Town), several large punch machines are running at the same time, and each punch machine can produce 30 parts per minute. At the same time, the second phase of the base project workshop is also under construction, after the base is completed and put into operation, it can produce 30 million automotive lightweight parts and 5 million battery packs annually, and is expected to increase annual sales of 1.2 billion yuan.
a new trend in car building has emerged
Since 2024, in just one quarter, Zhangjiagang is focusing on technological innovation, product creation and ecological operation of the new energy vehicle industry at an unprecedented speed.
On March 6, the Zhangjiagang production base project of Zhongsen new energy vehicles and energy storage core components started, with an annual output of 3 million new energy vehicles and energy storage core components;
On March 27, the 1.03 billion yuan Chengmu new energy vehicle lightweight parts project started, with an annual output of 500,000 sets of body parts, 600,000 sets of liquid cold plates, and 200,000 sets of threshold assemblies, further enhancing the ability of industrial synergy;
On April 22, Benecke Changshun R&D Center project was signed, and after the project is put into operation, it will radiate more than 60 first-class suppliers of auto parts and more than 20 well-known vehicle enterprise customers at home and abroad.
……
A group of data is enough to prove that Zhangjiagang's "new strength" and energy "new power" are constantly converging, excellent location advantages, rapid rise of the automobile industry, and good development momentum are attracting the attention of more and more automobile industry enterprises, introducing greater "increment" for the layout of Zhangjiagang's new energy automobile industry.
The city of innovation, the whole chain to the "new". With the increasing improvement of the upstream and downstream industrial chain, it meets the development needs of new energy, new materials and various transformative technologies such as the Internet and big data required by new energy vehicles, so that enterprises have more confidence and confidence in the development of Zhangjiagang.
Aim to build a 100-billion-level cluster in the automobile industry
This goal
Zhangjiagang, get ready!
