Typhoon "Du Suri" just crossed, the relevant personnel of the Hebi City Industry and Information Bureau rushed to Zhengzhou to solicit the opinions of experts and industry insiders for the "Hebi City to cultivate and strengthen the new energy and intelligent connected automobile industry chain three-year action Plan (2023~2025)" (referred to as the "Plan") completed after several rounds of research.
In this "plan", Hebi put forward a new requirement for itself - to create a domestic leading new energy and intelligent network auto characteristic parts industrial base in the subdivision field.
This plan in Hebi is by no means a whim. Prop up its ambition, in addition to Tianhai Group, Hangsheng Electronics, Tianhe mold, Haichang intelligence, Tianqi mold and a large number of outstanding enterprises, but also has its own "soft and hard strength".
Distinctive characteristics of the automotive electronics industry
As the least populous and smallest prefecture-level city in Henan province, Hebi sold 3,977 new energy vehicles in 2022. The penetration rate of new energy vehicles was 28.7%, exceeding the provincial and national "average score". Today, in the new energy and intelligent connected automobile industry chain, Hebi City has more than 40 enterprises above designated size, and the overall scale of the industry is more than 15 billion yuan.
After years of development, Hebi has formed a core industrial cluster of automotive electronics and electrical appliances, with six categories of more than 10,000 automotive electronics and electrical varieties, "At present, Hebi automotive electronics and electrical products, the proportion of new energy products has increased to 35%."
Like Luoyang, which is characterized by new energy batteries, and Xinxiang, which is characterized by hydrogen energy, Hebi has outstanding industrial characteristics represented by automotive electronics and electrical appliances.
Among them, Tianhai Group is a strong automotive connector research and production enterprises and emerging automotive electronic products research and development and production enterprises, connector products to fill the domestic blank, led the drafting of more than 20 national (industry) standards; As a key enterprise in domestic automotive electronics, Hangsheng Electronics has a complete layout of intelligent network products, and the market share of vehicle video and audio entertainment products reaches 25%; Haichang Intelligent is the absolute leader in the field of automotive wiring harness intelligent equipment in China, and is also the world's largest precision crimping mold manufacturer; Tianqi mold car compact cold stamping mold manufacturing level, leading in China; Sanxian Electronics focuses on the wiring harness business of new energy vehicles and integrates into the "circle of friends" of BYD, Hyundai Kia, BAIC New Energy, Huawei Ask Jie and other car companies...
Both soft and hard power, Hebi has obvious advantages
Today, with BYD and other vehicle production enterprises settled in Zhengzhou, Hebi's advantages in the industrial chain are increasingly prominent.
In this regard, Zhou Zhaoshan, general manager of Sanxian Electronics, has a deep understanding.
On November 3, 2022, Sanxian Electronics signed a contract with Hebi Shancheng District. On November 24, in just 21 days, the first production line was put into operation in Shancheng District.
Speaking of the reasons for landing in Hebi, Zhou Zhaoshan first mentioned the superior geographical location of Hebi. From Hebi, less than 200 kilometers to the provincial capital of Zhengzhou, the fastest by high-speed rail takes only half an hour, "with our customers, like Zhengzhou BYD, relatively close." As an enterprise that produces vehicle low-voltage wiring harnesses, Hebi's industrial base on wiring harnesses is also very important to Sanxian Electronics. "Hebi has the most complete wiring harness industry chain in China. Large enterprises such as Tianhai Group have trained a large number of mature industrial skilled workers for Hebi." Zhou Zhaoshan said.
In addition, a good business environment, the openness and inclusiveness of the city, and favorable investment policies are also important factors to attract Sanxian Electronic landing. With the concentrated support of these advantages, Hebi's new energy and intelligent connected automobile industry has gained rapid momentum.
Tianhai Group set up a new energy-related project team in 2014, and led the establishment of Henan New Energy and intelligent network Automotive Electronics Industry Research Institute in 2022.
According to Kang Jincan, vice president of the Research Institute of Tianhai Group, in the first half of 2023, the proportion of new energy business of Tianhai Group has increased to 52% from 42% last year.
outlook
Plan ahead for the future of the industry
With a good industrial ecology, Hebi is now ambitious. In the draft of the three-year action plan for cultivating and expanding the new energy and intelligent connected automobile industry chain (2023~2025), Hebi put forward a goal - by the end of 2025, the overall proportion of automotive electronic new energy products will exceed 50%, and the industrial chain scale will reach 50 billion yuan.
This goal is by no means a whim. Hebi City Industry and Information Bureau visited all the enterprises in the industrial chain and conducted many in-depth investigations and questionnaires.
In order to achieve this goal, the "Plan" also gives a lot of detailed requirements. Hebi plans that by 2025, key products such as automotive high-pressure and high-speed transmission systems will fully enter the domestic mainstream new energy and intelligent network automobile brand supply system, with brand coverage reaching more than 80% and the domestic market accounting for more than 30%. In addition, Hebi also plans to lay out the Hebi City electronic and electrical sharing testing center, mold industrial park, electroplating process park and other projects.
Li Guanfeng, executive director of Henan Automotive Engineering Society, is very optimistic about the future of Hebi new energy and intelligent network automobile industry, "Hebi seize the advantages of automotive electronics and appliances, forecast and develop the future development direction, in this direction and continue to strengthen, the prospect is clear."
