12.57 trillion, 22 trillion … ＂Hard core＂ data has stirred up the ＂strongest sound wave＂ of China’s economy.
CCTV News:The Yangtze River Delta is one of the regions with the most active economic development, the highest degree of openness and the strongest innovation ability in China. The year 2023 marks the 5th anniversary of the integration development of the Yangtze River Delta as a national strategy. In the Outline of Regional Integration Development Plan of the Yangtze River Delta, the strategic orientation of "one pole, three regions and one highland" in the Yangtze River Delta region is clearly put forward.
Among them, "one pole" refers to the strong and active growth pole of national development, "three districts" refers to the national high-quality development model area, the first to basically realize modernization and the regional integration development demonstration area, while "one highland" refers to the new highland of reform and opening up in the new era.
In the past five years, the Yangtze River Delta region has closely followed the two key words of "integration" and "high quality" and jointly promoted the Outline of the Yangtze River Delta Regional Integration Development Plan from blueprint to reality.
The Yangtze River Delta: Integration, Integration and High-quality Development
Through a set of data, we can understand the bright "transcripts" handed over by the Yangtze River Delta in the past five years.
According to the statistics of Shanghai Customs, 1-mdash in 2023; In October, the import and export value of the Yangtze River Delta region reached 12.57 trillion yuan, accounting for 36.6% of the total import and export value in the same period of the country, and the scale of foreign trade reached a new high.
In the past five years, in this 358,000-square-kilometer land, 236 million people have stirred up the "strongest sound wave" of China’s economy. The data shows that in 2022, the regional GDP of 41 cities in the Yangtze River Delta will exceed 100 billion. Among them, Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Ningbo, Wuxi, Nantong and Hefei are already "trillion cities" with regional GDP, and Shanghai ranks first in the country with more than 4.4 trillion yuan.
In the first three quarters of 2023, the regional economic aggregate of the Yangtze River Delta reached 22 trillion yuan, creating nearly a quarter of the national economic aggregate with 4% land area and nearly 17% population.
In the past five years, the relationship between the "half-hour living circle", "one-hour commuting circle", "24-hour postal circle" and "Yangtze River Delta people" has become increasingly close.
New energy vehicles polish the "golden signboard" in the highland of automobile industry
From innovation chain to the industrial chain, in the past five years, Shanghai has played a leading role, and Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui have made full use of their strengths and complementary advantages to build a world-class industrial cluster and jointly form a new pattern of industrial cooperation and integration.
Speaking of the Yangtze River Delta region, I have to mention the automobile, which is also the industrial highland of China automobile. Nowadays, new energy vehicles have become the "golden signboard" here.
According to the data of China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, in the first three quarters of 2023, the output of new energy vehicles in China reached 6.313 million. Among them, the output of new energy vehicles in the Yangtze River Delta region exceeded 2.6 million, accounting for over 40% of the national output in the same period. This means that an average of less than 10 seconds, there is a new energy vehicle in the Yangtze River Delta region off the production line. Behind this, how do automobile manufacturers in the Yangtze River Delta cooperate with each other?
The "four-hour industrial circle" of new energy vehicles has gradually taken shape.
On December 4th, at the largest automobile export terminal in China — — At haitong international Bus Terminal in Waigaoqiao Port Area, 3,424 domestic cars are ready to be sent to Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar and other countries that jointly build the Belt and Road Initiative.
The Yangtze River Delta not only has the largest automobile export port in China, but also has covered the entire ecological chain of smart automobile parts such as power batteries, on-board chips and autonomous driving systems through the coordinated development of industrial clusters. An automobile factory can solve the supply of all supporting parts within 4 hours’ drive from the Yangtze River Delta.
This is an industry-leading intelligent driving computing solution provider, and it is the first enterprise in China to complete mass production of in-vehicle smart chips. What technicians are showing us is the application of high-order automatic driving system for electric vehicles.
Nowadays, in the Yangtze River Delta region, a large number of high-tech enterprises with different types of chip design, such as control, sensing, communication, driving and storage, have been collected. With the active promotion of the integration of the Yangtze River Delta, the new force of car-making in the Yangtze River Delta is developing vigorously, and it is moving at full speed towards a higher-level electric and intelligent car.
One out of every 10 new energy vehicles in the world is equipped with Changzhou batteries.
The car chips and software provided by Shanghai constitute the "brain" of the car, while Changzhou, Jiangsu and Ningbo, Zhejiang, which are about 200 kilometers west and south from Shanghai respectively, provide the "heart" and "body" for new energy vehicles.
This enterprise, which produces power batteries, moved from other cities in China to Changzhou, Jiangsu five years ago. The five years of the Yangtze River Delta integration strategy is also the five years of rapid development of this new energy enterprise.
Jintan District, Changzhou City, where Honeycomb Energy is located, is one of the longest and most comprehensive areas of photovoltaic new energy industry chain in the Yangtze River Delta. Among the top 5 domestic power battery installed capacity enterprises, 4 are in Changzhou. There are 32 main links in power battery production, and Changzhou covers 31 of them, and the integrity of the industrial chain is as high as 97%. Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, in 2022, the production and sales of power batteries accounted for one-fifth of the country.
Changzhou, Jiangsu Province provides the "heart" of new energy vehicles — — Power battery, and Ningbo, Zhejiang, which is more than 200 kilometers south of Shanghai, provides an integrated die-casting mold for the car body. Beilun District, Ningbo City, which is within the "4-hour industrial circle", is one of the largest production centers of die-casting molds and die-casting products in China. For every 10 cars produced in China, almost 6 will use the production molds in Ningbo.
With the technological innovation, the production mold developed by the enterprise has realized the three-in-one one-time die casting of the motor, gearbox and electronic control device shell of the new energy vehicle, and it only takes 1 minute to produce a set of shell. While saving production time, it also saves thousands of assembly parts and reduces the cost by 25%— 30%, to help enterprises further reduce costs and increase efficiency. At present, Beilun District of Ningbo has gathered more than 110 enterprises that regulate automobiles and key parts, and the industrial output value has exceeded 100 billion yuan last year.
One out of every four cars exported nationwide is "made in Anhui"
According to the data of China Automobile Industry Association and General Administration of Customs, China’s automobile production and sales volume is the first in the world, and its export volume is the first in the world. In the first three quarters of 2023, the country exported 3.388 million cars. Among them, Anhui Province exported 822,000 cars, and one out of every four cars exported nationwide was "Made in Anhui".
This achievement is due to the local encouragement of superior vehicle companies and parts companies in Anhui to build and share overseas service systems, international logistics systems and supply chain systems, accelerate the popularization and application of new energy vehicles and boost the consumption of new energy vehicles.
Zhao Yu Jie, from Hangzhou, is discussing with Chery’s engineers how to improve the reservation function of car air conditioner. Zhao Yu Jie’s company is a high-tech enterprise focusing on intelligent networked automotive communication products and services. Thanks to the integration development of the Yangtze River Delta, this automobile service provider directly sent personnel to work in Wuhu, Anhui. Do research and development upstairs, and then directly verify it in the workshop downstairs to realize agile management and rapid response.
The promotion of the integrated development strategy of the Yangtze River Delta not only promotes the high-quality development of the industrial chain, but also makes the manufacturing enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta run out of "acceleration".
According to the latest data, in November 2023, Chery Automobile sold 212,000 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 111%, a record high, and its products have covered more than 80 countries and regions around the world.
According to the statistics of Hefei Customs, 1-mdash in 2023; In October, Anhui Province exported 20,000 electric manned vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 93%. Anhui, which regards the automobile industry as the "first industry", has been promoted by the integrated development strategy of the Yangtze River Delta, and the international competitiveness of the new energy automobile industry has been continuously improved.
Take advantage of the integration of Yangtze River Delta to build a powerful automobile country
During the five years when the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta has become a national strategy, the industrial chain of new energy vehicles has gradually gathered and developed rapidly in the Yangtze River Delta, and the new quality productivity has also accelerated. To develop the new energy automobile industry, the three provinces and one city in the Yangtze River Delta should seize the opportunity of automobile electrification, intelligence and networking, promote the high-quality development of the new energy automobile industry under the impetus of the integration strategy, and help China move from a big automobile country to a powerful automobile country.
