China News Agency, Shanghai, October 5th (Pu Fan) In a factory in Pudong, Shanghai, several robotic arms move intertwined, some transmit parts, and some measure data, each with a division of labor and orderly, with an average of 6 seconds. Can produce a car steering shaft.
"This production line is completely designed and manufactured in accordance with German Industry 4.0. The processed automobile steering shaft can save about 10% of steel on the premise of ensuring rigidity, which can improve the weight of the whole vehicle, achieve the optimization of energy saving and emission reduction, and improve production efficiency It is also 3 times higher than the previous generation." Zhu Yifan, production manager of ThyssenKrupp Pristine Auto Parts (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. told China News Agency that this production line is the first production line built by ThyssenKrupp in the world. One and only fast flexible swaging line.

ThyssenKrupp is a multinational group from Germany with a history of more than 200 years.
Gao Yan, CEO of ThyssenKrupp Greater China, said that the automotive business is one of the Group's important businesses in China. Thanks to the rapid recovery of the Chinese passenger car market after the epidemic, as well as the rapid growth of the new energy vehicle market, automotive The steering business is basically operating at full capacity.
The Municipal Consultation Conference started in the late 1980s. For more than 30 years, every golden autumn season, a group of international entrepreneurs known as "foreign ginseng" will go to Shanghai to contribute valuable international experience to Shanghai. The 34th city consultation meeting will be held on October 7, with the theme of "Promoting the Green, Low-Carbon and Sustainable Development of the City".
Gao Yan said that in addition to supporting emission reduction in the transportation sector with high-quality products, ThyssenKrupp also promotes the process of industrial decarbonization through green innovation technology, contributing to the realization of the "dual carbon" goal, and green hydrogen will be used in the future. key role in the energy transition and carbon neutrality.
"In the upcoming Shanghai Mayor's International Entrepreneurs Consultation Meeting, we hope to present our ideas for the Shanghai government based on the Group's technical capabilities and global practices in green hydrogen mass production, as well as the experience in the development of the green hydrogen industry in Germany. Suggest."

Since the release of the "two-carbon" target, China's demand for hydrogen has risen rapidly, and it will become the general trend to replace gray hydrogen and blue hydrogen with green hydrogen. More and more economies are paying more attention to the development of the green hydrogen industry.
Shanghai has been at the forefront of green and low-carbon innovation.
Martina Mertz, Chairman and CEO of ThyssenKrupp, believes that, as one of the global innovation centers, Shanghai brings together world-class enterprises, scientific research institutions and high-end talents, and has unique innovation advantages.
Therefore, Shanghai has the ability to play an important role in the green transition of China and the world.
It is worth mentioning that in terms of hydrogen production, Shanghai and its surrounding areas have abundant offshore wind power resources, and clean energy is the key to green hydrogen production; in terms of storage and transportation, as a global trade and shipping center, Shanghai has excellent ports. , which has laid a good foundation for green hydrogen storage and transportation, and can further promote the development of green hydrogen maritime trade and supply chain.
In addition, green hydrogen can also have more abundant application scenarios in Shanghai, such as aviation, ship fuel, and energy sources for heavily polluting enterprises.

Mertz believes that for Shanghai itself, accelerating the technological innovation of green hydrogen is not only a tool to achieve carbon neutrality, but at the same time, through the rich experience accumulated in innovation in this emerging field, it can also improve the overall level of technological innovation and innovation in Shanghai. urban influence.
By accelerating technological innovation and promoting the construction of an innovation ecosystem, Shanghai will be able to enhance the competitiveness of the green hydrogen value chain and become an important green hydrogen technology innovation hub.
As the vice chairman of this year's City Council, Roche Group CEO Shi Wan has participated in the meeting for 13 consecutive years.
He also believes that, like other cities around the world, Shanghai will also benefit from the transition to a green, low-carbon and circular economic system.
This economic system will help Shanghai achieve multiple goals such as economic growth, job security, resource efficiency improvement, environmental protection and population health.
