Xpeng Motors recently unveiled the mystery of the new series MONA, which is the result of the cooperation between Xiaopeng Motors and Didi, and its first model M03 will be produced at the Xiaopeng Motors Zhaoqing base.

Zhaoqing is a firm supporter of Xiaopeng Motors. Since the "hand in hand", the two sides have weathered the wind and rain, opened up new situations in the changing situation, and moved towards a 100 billion yuan industrial cluster with firm steps.

"Leader" Xiaopeng Motors reports good performance

Zhaoqing High-tech Zone, where Xiaopeng Motors is located, is the locomotive of Zhaoqing's industry. Its intelligent networked new energy vehicle industry has been recognized as an innovative industrial cluster pilot by the Torch Center of the Ministry of Science and Technology of China.

Entering the Zhaoqing High-tech Zone, you can best feel how China's automotive industry chain competes with its skills and refines "real gold" under the current fierce industrial competition.

The production line of "leading" Xiaopeng Motors is being upgraded and renovated to prepare for production within the year.

In recent days, Xiaopeng Motors has successively announced a series of favorable performance news. In the first quarter of this year, the company's revenue and gross profit margin have achieved significant growth compared with the same period last year, and the net loss in the first quarter has narrowed significantly year-on-year. In May 2024, its delivery volume returned to the 10,000-vehicle echelon.

Xiaopeng Motors' performance is inseparable from the joint cooperation with global partners.

△On May 25, 2023, the Zhaoqing New Energy Vehicle Industry Investment Promotion Conference was held in Zhaoqing. 

Last year, Xiaopeng Motors held its first Global Partner Conference in Zhaoqing. Nearly 500 suppliers from all over the world gathered in this vibrant manufacturing new city in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area to discuss how to effectively optimize costs, improve supply chain management efficiency, and build a mature supply chain ecosystem.

Auto parts industry "refining gold"

There are many Zhaoqing suppliers in the list of global partners of Xiaopeng Motors. They include both advantageous competitors in the era of traditional fuel vehicles and innovative entrepreneurs in the era of intelligent driving.

With deep participation in the construction of China's new energy vehicle industry chain and innovation chain, these Zhaoqing enterprises have gradually achieved the continuous leap from "ground to sky" step by step, laying a solid foundation for Guangdong to build a world-class automobile industry cluster.

Guangdong Hongtu Co., Ltd., located in Gaoyao, Zhaoqing, is a leading domestic die-casting enterprise. It keeps up with the innovative needs of new energy vehicles and takes the lead in deploying ultra-large integrated die-casting equipment.

Last year in 2023, its independently developed integrated die-casting machine with the world's largest tonnage of 12,000 tons was officially put into production. It can not only form the rear floor of new energy vehicles in an integrated manner, but also compress the production cycle from 3 hours to 2 minutes.

At the same time, Hongtu also cooperated with Lijin Group to successfully develop the world's first integrated die-casting machine with the largest tonnage of 16,000 tons.

Rapid iteration is the current requirement for new energy vehicle manufacturing.

Zhaoqing Power Metal specializes in the production of engine cylinder heads. Its customer list includes not only fuel vehicle customers such as the three major American automobile brands, but also "new forces" in car manufacturing such as Ideal and Xiaopeng.

At present, new energy vehicle business has accounted for more than 70% of its total business. Through digital transformation, it has compressed the new product development cycle to 35 days, achieved rapid response to customers, and stood firm in the wave.

The "strong chain" project of automotive parts is implemented in six major areas such as intelligent networking, body systems, industrial software, and warehousing and logistics.

Sensors are key equipment for intelligent networking. Guangdong Audiwei is a leader in the industry, and Zhaoqing is its achievement transformation base. The AK2 vehicle-mounted ultrasonic sensor produced locally in Zhaoqing has been the first to achieve mass production and application. It is expected that the installation volume of the parking-driving solution will exceed 20 new models this year, covering joint venture OEMs and domestic independent brand OEMs. And this "Zhaoqing manufacturing" is not only used in new energy vehicles, but also in flying cars (low-altitude economy).

Thicken the industrial soil and improve the industrial ecology

As a key city in Guangdong's construction of a world-class automobile industry cluster, Zhaoqing currently has a solid foundation and favorable conditions for accelerating industrial development.

From the perspective of the hard environment, Zhaoqing supports large industries with large platforms and attracts large projects.

Zhaoqing has national and provincial key platforms such as Guangdong Province's large-scale industrial clusters and Zhaoqing Dawang New Energy Intelligent Automobile Industrial City. It not only has multiple policy supports, but also has sufficient and cost-effective land space. The surrounding area has mature production and living facilities, and continues to improve through accelerated construction.

Zhaoqing's soft environment is also constantly improving.

A strong atmosphere of innovation is an important boost to the development of industrial agglomeration.

△ Zhaoqing High-tech Zone. 

As a leading enterprise in Zhaoqing, Xiaopeng Motors continues to play its leading role in innovation. In terms of improving the quality and efficiency of the production process, Xiaopeng Motors has worked together with local companies to continuously improve its quality. Its strict quality standards have become the "golden signboard" for auto parts manufacturers to obtain orders from the same industry. In the current investment promotion work, its supporting projects continue to be implemented one after another, allowing Zhaoqing's new energy vehicle industry team to continue to grow.

Last year in 2023,

Guangdong Province New Energy Vehicle Metrology Technical Committee settled in Zhaoqing High-tech Zone, providing effective metrology technical guarantees for the province's new energy vehicles in product research and development, design, production and manufacturing, product testing and after-sales service, and striving to make "Chinese standards" become "world standards".

△ On July 12, 2023, the inaugural meeting of Guangdong Province New Energy Vehicle Industry Metrology Technical Committee was held. 

Over the past year, the professional technical committee has provided assistance and guidance to enterprises in terms of difficulties and application problems in production and research and development, and organized joint technical research. It has also jointly evaluated and approved projects proposed by enterprises with the provincial automobile industry association that have the effect of improving quality and innovating technology, helping to continuously upgrade "Made in Guangdong".

The synergy of the industrial chain is a key boost to building a large industry and realizing "manufacturing as the master".

Zhaoqing not only has new energy vehicles and parts industries, but also new energy storage industries, electronic information, equipment manufacturing and other industries are booming. The subdivided chains are crisscrossed and bursting out bright sparks, especially for the "future industry", which is giving birth to new changes and new opportunities.

Industry Voice:

Xuan Zhihong, Secretary-General of the Zhaoqing New Energy Vehicle and Auto Parts Industry Association, commented that Zhaoqing has gradually established a complete new energy vehicle supply chain system. Moreover, from the front-line research, both the construction and innovation of the industrial echelons are accelerating. With the support of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area market and its own outstanding "cost-effectiveness" of factors, Zhaoqing has not only attracted advantageous enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta, but also advantageous auto parts companies from the Northeast have settled in this year. It is expected that Zhaoqing will continue to enhance its value in the industrial chain and become an important part of the national new energy vehicle industry cluster.
