As a national key layout of the automobile industry base and traditional automobile industry center, how does Wuhan seize the development opportunities of the intelligent networked automobile industry?
On the morning of the 16th, at the Wuhan East Lake High-tech Zone Working Committee (expanded) meeting, Optics Valley officially announced that it has joined the "new forces to build cars". Expansion upgrade.
The Wuhan Economic and Technological Development Zone, which is based on the traditional automobile manufacturing industry, is also vigorously developing the intelligent networked automobile industry.
So far, Wuhan will start the layout of the intelligent networked automobile industry in the pattern of Wuhan Economic Development Zone and Donghu High-tech Zone "Double Dragons Playing Pearls".
The traditional car city seeks transformation
At present, my country has formed a multi-level and wide-ranging industrial development strategy including top-level industrial development planning, laws and regulations, road testing, commercial applications, etc. "Development" of the pilot cities, Wuhan is among them.
For a long time, Wuhan has concentrated its automobile industry in the Wuhan Economic Development Zone, which is known as the "Car Capital of China".
Wuhan Economic and Technological Development Zone currently produces more than 1 million automobiles. By 2025, the automobile production will strive to exceed 2 million, and the output value of the automobile industry will exceed 500 billion yuan.
In order to seize the opportunity of intelligent connected vehicles, Wuhan Economic Development Zone issued the "Notice on Several Measures (Trial) of Wuhan Economic and Technological Development Zone (Hannan District) to Promote the Innovation and Development of the Intelligent Connected Vehicle Industry" in March last year.
The measure formulated 16 support measures from six aspects, including the ecological construction of the intelligent networked vehicle industry, technology research and development, product testing, and demonstration applications, with a maximum reward of 200 million yuan for eligible companies.
Subsequently, a number of new energy OEMs have signed contracts to settle in Wuhan Economic Development Zone: On April 8, 2021, Xiaopeng Motors, the leading enterprise of "new car manufacturing", decided to build an intelligent manufacturing base in Wuhan Economic Development Zone; May 31 On December 21, Lantu Automobile, the first high-end electric vehicle brand among central enterprises, officially signed an investment agreement with Wuhan Economic and Technological Development Zone; The energy off-road vehicle project was signed and settled in China Chegu; on January 5, 2022, Honda's world's first new energy benchmark factory settled in Wuhan Economic and Technological Development Zone.
According to the "14th Five-Year Plan", Wuhan Economic and Technological Development Zone strives to introduce 10 to 15 new energy batteries, high-precision maps and positioning, lidar, car networking, chips and other related enterprises to settle down every year. By 2025, a total of 2 to 3 A new energy vehicle company.
The confidence of Optics Valley's car-making
At the same time, the East Lake High-tech Zone on the other side of Wuhan also hopes to make a difference in the intelligent networked automobile industry.
As early as 5 years ago, Optics Valley intends to get involved in the new generation of automobile industry.
In December 2016, the Yangtze River Economic Belt Industrial Fund, Wuhan East Lake High-tech Zone, and Shanghai Weilai Automobile Co., Ltd. signed a contract to set up a "Changjiang Weilai Fund" with a total scale of 10 billion yuan in Optics Valley, and invest in Optics Valley. Less than 20 billion to 30 billion yuan to build an intelligent new energy vehicle industrial park, including an annual output of 200,000 intelligent new energy vehicle projects, research and development and standard testing centers, etc. industrial chain.
However, this project was aborted unexpectedly, and Optics Valley missed an important development opportunity for "new forces to build cars".
After many years, Optics Valley has rekindled the hope of "building a car".
On March 14 last year, Wuhan East Lake High-tech Zone released the "Ten Optics Valley Hard-core Technology", with a special fund of 500 million yuan each year to support "hard-core technology" enterprises covering the application of artificial intelligence in intelligent networked vehicles. Fusion application.
Fu Cheng, chairman of Wuhan Yixun Electronic Information Technology Co., Ltd., told the first financial reporter that at present, Optics Valley has 110,000 innovative enterprises. In the field of automotive chips, it has cultivated a number of potential independent Corner enterprise, with the world's second EDA supplier Synopsys, Yangtze Memory, Wuhan Xinxin and other head chip companies; in the field of automotive semiconductor display, the market share of Shentianma, which is a key layout of Optics Valley, will reach 14.3% in 2020, TCL Huaxing invested 7.5 billion yuan to focus on the layout of in-vehicle displays; in the field of Internet of Vehicles, Optics Valley has gathered the top three domestic information and communication companies such as Huawei, ZTE, and China Telecom, and is the main bearer of the infrastructure construction of Internet of Vehicles; in the field of intelligent cockpits , 6 PTC heaters for every 10 new energy vehicles in China come from Wuhan Huagong Technology, and the global market share of air conditioning temperature sensors accounts for more than 70%; in the field of car navigation and automatic driving, Haiwei Electronics is the only one in the supply chain of NIO except power batteries. The supporting enterprise with the highest value of bicycles in China and abroad, Jimu Intelligent is one of the top 30 autonomous driving enterprises in China.
On the morning of the 16th, at the Wuhan East Lake High-tech Zone Working Committee (expanded) meeting, Liu Jie, Secretary of the Party Working Committee and Director of the Management Committee of the East Lake High-tech Zone, proposed that Optics Valley's 2022 regional GDP will sprint towards the target of 300 billion yuan, accounting for Wuhan's total. The proportion of the city's total GDP will reach 15%; it will strive to add 20,000 new enterprises, 2 new ten-billion-level enterprises, and more than 10 new listed companies, and accelerate the formation of a forest-like industrial ecology that is dominated by large enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises.
In the important work in 2022, Liu Jie emphasized that Optics Valley will plan to build an intelligent networked car terminal industrial park to drive the expansion and upgrade of the "optical core screen terminal network".
Fu Cheng believes that Wuhan can give full play to the advantages of the Optics Valley Science and Technology Innovation Corridor’s collaborative innovation, support Optics Valley to join forces with “Ehuanghuangxian” to build an “Intelligent Connected Vehicle Industrial Park”, and introduce major vehicle projects; Network" industry and automobile industry are deeply integrated, further enhance the extension and scale of the "optical core screen terminal network" industry, and create a trillion-level industrial cluster of "optical core screen terminal network" + "vehicle road cloud network map".
"Gemini" dislocation development
Ye Yi, chairman of Fengmai Energy, told the first financial reporter that at present, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Hefei are developing a new generation of automobile industry in multiple regions and the whole industry chain.
In contrast, Wuhan has been slow to promote the transformation of the traditional automobile industry, and has not made enough efforts in the layout of the intelligent networked automobile industry.
The output value of the city's automobile manufacturing industry has declined, and the output of passenger cars has declined, which has fallen behind on the starting line of the new round of technological revolution and the layout of the automobile industry.
Fu Cheng said that Optics Valley's participation in "new forces to build cars" is not to "grab food" with Wuhan Economic and Technological Development Zone. The two national-level development zones can develop the auto industry in multiple regions, dislocations, and the entire industry chain, forming a joint force. Support the development of Wuhan's automobile industry and cultivate more new growth points for Wuhan to build a national economic center.
At present, there are few connections between connected vehicles and the industry, and no new consumption scenarios have been formed. This is an important breakthrough for Wuhan to develop intelligent connected vehicles.
Ye Yi suggested that Wuhan should increase the supply of scenarios and policies, accelerate the promotion of special application scenarios such as public transportation, taxis, and environmental sanitation to take the lead in implementing the replacement of intelligent connected vehicles; build new infrastructure moderately ahead of schedule, and promote the intelligent upgrade of relevant municipal roads. Accelerate the construction of smart city infrastructure and the coordinated development of intelligent connected vehicles to develop "dual-smart pilot" cities; increase the cultivation of local industrial chain enterprises, establish a smart electric vehicle industry development fund, and increase investment and incubation efforts.
