Changzhou Establishes New Energy Vehicles Industrial Park
CHANGZHOU, China, May 27 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Changzhou National Hi-Tech District (CND) announced that it is building a new energy vehicles-themed industrial park, which is scheduled to become a research and development (R&D) and production base for pure electric passenger cars, low-speed micro-pure electric vehicles, power battery series and related industrial chains by 2012, with an annual production capacity of 100,000 completely new energy vehicles and parts.
The new energy vehicles-themed industrial park, fully funded by the Changzhou National Hi-Tech District, is an important R&D and industrialization base for national energy-saving and new energy vehicles. The park will be composed of one base (an industrialization base), two functional areas (a technological R&D area and a living area) and three platforms (a public technological services platform, a public management services platform and a logistics services platform). At present, the park has attracted two major complete vehicle companies, Changzhou Huanghai Automobile Co., Ltd and Changzhou Haojue Suzuki Motorcycle Co., Ltd., to establish presences. The pure electric luxury passenger cars of Changzhou Huanghai Automobile Co., Ltd have already rolled off the production line and the company is planning to create a production base for hybrid and pure electric large- and medium-sized passenger vehicles at the park.
Changzhou, located in southern Jiangsu Province, has significant competitive advantages in terms of manufacturing. The city is home to a large number of manufacturers of automobile and motorcycle parts and components, as well as complete vehicles, including Magna Powertrain (Changzhou) Co., Ltd., Sino-Japanese Mitsubishi Electric Shihlin Automotive Changzhou Co., Ltd., Sino-American Visteon TYC Auto Lamps Co., Ltd., Denso, Changzhou Dongfeng Automobile Co., Ltd., Kwang Yang Motor, A123 Systems (China) Materials Co., Ltd. and Changzhou Senstar Auto Conditioner Co., Ltd. The city's complete industry chain, spanning the design and manufacturing of vehicle bodies, development of automotive electronic fuel injection systems and diesel turbochargers to material molding, as well as lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles and hybrids, lays a solid foundation for the construction of this industrial park for alternative energy vehicles. Changzhou is situated in the center of China's most developed Yangtze River Delta region, which is also the country's most dynamic region in terms of vehicle demand.
The CND has established a working group consisting of representatives from responsible government agencies and major companies, which will be responsible for the overall planning of the industrial park, facilitation of key projects, development of supporting policies, as well as demonstration and promotion of alternative energy vehicles. Leveraging the Chinese government's policies specifically designed for the demonstration and promotion of fuel-efficient, alternative energy vehicles, the industrial park will encourage companies to develop large- and medium-sized hybrid and pure electric passenger vehicles by utilizing Chinese intellectual property rights, while pioneering in the launching of hybrid bus pilot projects. The infrastructure construction, including the management and service center, is currently underway in the industrial park. In addition, the industrial park will enhance the quality of its services and help companies reduce their overall operating costs by introducing a wide range of support service providers, taking a leading role through resource integration.
