At Zhaoqing base in Xpeng Motors, nearly 400 industrial robots applied glue, welded and riveted aluminum plates in an orderly way, and a brand-new Tucki P7 rolled off the assembly line. The 14th Five-Year Plan for the High-Quality Development of Manufacturing Industry in Guangdong Province proposes that Zhaoqing should speed up the development of new energy vehicle manufacturing. From January to August this year, with the support of Zhaoqing base, Xpeng Motors delivered over 90,000 vehicles, nearly double that of the same period last year.

It took 17 months for the first 100,000 vehicles to be delivered, and only 8 months for the second 100,000 vehicles to be delivered. Xpeng Motors, which settled in Zhaoqing, ran out of development acceleration. Correspondingly, the output value of Zhaoqing's new energy vehicle and auto parts industry has successively exceeded 30 billion yuan and 40 billion yuan in two years, and the output value is expected to exceed 70 billion yuan in 2022, and the prototype of the 100 billion industrial cluster has already appeared.

Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, which is located in Zhaoqing, Xpeng Motors, was officially put into operation in May this year, with an investment of 12 billion yuan in the first phase and a planned production capacity of 25GWh. It is estimated that the annual output value will be about 20 billion yuan after its completion. 'Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited is committed to building Zhaoqing base into a global lighthouse factory, promoting high-end industrial development, deeply integrating into the global industrial chain, and promoting the intelligent transformation of Guangdong manufacturing.' Zeng Yuqun, chairman of Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, said.

Driven by chain owners, the appeal of Zhaoqing's new energy automobile industry continues to increase. In recent years, Zhaoqing has successively welcomed more than 20 new energy projects such as Changzhou Jushi New Energy, Helin Liye Power Battery, Andaoto Car Seat, Tianming New Energy, etc., initially forming an industrial ecological chain covering the whole vehicle and key parts such as batteries, motors, wires, etc., and the development trend of automobile parts agglomeration is becoming more and more obvious.

Many enterprises that have settled in Zhaoqing have moved closer to and tilted towards the new energy automobile industry. Fenghua Hi-Tech, an electronic component chain-based enterprise, successfully introduced all the train gauge products of benchmark customers in the new energy automobile industry. In the first half of this year, the sales amount of automobile electronics increased by 28.52% year-on-year.

On the day when the Zhaoqing project in Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited was put into operation, the construction of Tucki Intelligent Automobile Accessories Industrial Park, located in Dawang New Energy Intelligent Automobile Industrial City in Zhaoqing, started. In the future, it is planned to introduce 80 to 100 upstream and downstream supply chain enterprises, including on-board controllers, electric drives, car seats, chassis, interior and exterior decoration and other enterprises, so as to realize partition wall supply and timely response, and provide 'home door' guarantee for the development of Xpeng Motors and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited.

The 14th Five-Year Plan for the High-Quality Development of Manufacturing Industry in Guangdong Province proposes that Zhaoqing should speed up the development of automobile supporting industries such as batteries, electronic controls, motors, tires, chassis, sensors, lighting systems, etc. in terms of automobile parts, and at the same time, rely on Dawang Industrial Park and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Ecological Science and Technology Industrial Park to speed up the development of new energy automobile manufacturing.

Facing the '14th Five-Year Plan', Zhaoqing proposed to be a member of Guangdong Billion New Energy Industry Club by 2023; In 2025, the output value of new energy vehicles and auto parts industry will reach 200 billion yuan. New energy auto parts enterprises should have the capability of synchronous vehicle development, and the local matching rate of key components of new energy vehicles will exceed 40%.

In order to achieve the above objectives, Zhaoqing has implemented eight major projects, such as 'column' of new energy vehicles and strong chain of automobile core components, actively engaged in industrial chain investment around chain owners, and promoted the transformation of traditional manufacturing enterprises to new energy intelligent automobile industry.

In Zhaoqing High-tech Zone, where the new energy automobile industry gathers, Zhaoqing plans to build Dawang New Energy Intelligent Automobile Industry City, covering an area of 45 square kilometers, and set the development goal of '10,000 mu and 100 billion yuan', which will contribute to Zhaoqing's efforts to promote the implementation of the 'double carbon' strategy and build a world-class trillion-dollar industrial cluster for the whole province.

The relevant person in charge of Zhaoqing said that the intelligent networked automobile is the strategic commanding point of future industrial development. In the future, Zhaoqing will speed up the extension of the intelligent networked new energy automobile industrial chain, and make every effort to build a new highland of automobile electronics industry, a depression of intelligent networked talents, and an industrial ecology of deep cooperation among market players in the fields of complete vehicles and intelligent networked components and system software.
