China News Service, Turpan, Xinjiang, October 10 (Xingjia Niu) "Entering the high-speed ring road, the speed and temperature are normal." In SAIC Volkswagen's Xinjiang Turpan Tropical Comprehensive Test Yard, rows of vehicles are maintaining a neat and uniform posture and are undergoing Extremely hot "baking test" of high temperature exposure and extreme test of severe road sections.
Known as the "Fire Island", Turpan is one of the most famous high-temperature regions in the country, with high temperature and little rain. The highest temperature from May to August is above 40℃, and the annual average sunshine hours are 3,200 hours. It has unique dry heat. Environmental test conditions.
"The development of the test drive industry in Turpan's hot zone has solved the problem of domestic auto companies''must go abroad every test run', saved the capital investment and time cost of enterprise test runs, and improved the overall level of the national test drive industry." SAIC Volkswagen Turpan Test Center Zhu Wei, general affairs manager of the company said that the extreme high temperature climate in Turpan can fully meet the performance testing requirements of traditional fuel vehicles and new energy vehicles, providing unique conditions for the establishment of extreme heat and drought test tracks.
In recent years, relying on abundant light and heat resources, Turpan City has aimed at the "thermal economy", vigorously developed the test industry in the hot zone, and broke a new path of high-quality development.
Statistics show that the cumulative number of companies that have come to vomit for testing has reached 744, with more than 8,600 test vehicles and more than 15,000 test personnel.
Turpan City has undertaken more than 95% of the country's automobile testing in hot areas, and its radiation and driving effects are obvious.
Every year, the test run in the hot zone alone brings direct income and indirect consumption of 80 million yuan to Turpan, and drives the economic benefits of tertiary industry, tourism, and brand value to hundreds of millions of yuan.
In addition, Turpan City also took advantage of the rapid development of the automobile industry to take the lead in developing the dry heat exposure test of materials.
Xinjiang Turpan Natural Environment Test and Research Center, with an investment of nearly 40 million yuan, is currently the world's second largest dry heat natural environment test and research base.
Guo Chunyun, director of the research center, told reporters that the research center has facilities such as a testing laboratory building, a static exposure test field, and a dynamic vehicle test road. It can carry out inspections and testing of 13 products in 8 categories, including automobiles, plastics, metals and alloys. jobs.
"At present, we have accumulated more than 38,000 pieces of environmental adaptability data for materials, components, products, etc., and more than 10,000 pieces of environmental factor data, which provide effective data support for the environmental adaptability and corrosion resistance of materials and fill up the dry heat of our country. There is a gap in the exposure test of materials and products under the environment." Guo Chunyun said that in the next step, we will firmly grasp the major historical opportunities in the construction of the core area of the Silk Road Economic Belt, turn resource advantages into economic advantages, expand the industrial chain, and cultivate and develop The thermal industry is an important part of transforming the economic development mode.
At present, Turpan has formed four major thermal resource industries: new energy, sand therapy, high-quality agricultural products, and exposure to the sun.
As the scale of the industry grows and the radiation and driving effects continue to increase, the thermal resource industry will become a "new engine" for the high-quality development of Turpan's economy, injecting new vitality into Xinjiang's economic development.
