Core Viewpoint - The successful signing of the investment agreement between Pinglu Economic and Technological Development Zone and SANY Automobile Manufacturing Co., Ltd. marks the official launch of the Shuo Zhou SANY New Energy Commercial Vehicle Project, which is expected to significantly contribute to the establishment of a modern industrial system in Shuo Zhou and the development of a green intelligent manufacturing base in the central and western regions of China [1][3]. Investment Project Overview - The total investment for the SANY New Energy Commercial Vehicle Project is 1 billion yuan, focusing on the production of heavy-duty trucks and dump trucks, with a phased construction plan that includes three phases [3]. - The first phase of the project will utilize existing standardized factory buildings in the park, aiming to roll out the first new energy commercial vehicle by the end of September 2025, while simultaneously starting the planning and preliminary procedures for the second and third phases [3]. Technological and Environmental Aspects - The heavy-duty trucks produced will utilize core components developed by SANY Group, including the "three electric" systems (battery, motor, and electric control), ensuring good vehicle performance and economic efficiency [4]. - The project aims to integrate green electricity with intelligent manufacturing, promoting large-scale use of new energy electricity and achieving clean production with low or even zero carbon emissions [4]. Regional Advantages - Shuo Zhou is a significant energy production base in China, with abundant coal and electricity resources, and a short-distance transportation network that supports the use of new energy heavy-duty trucks [5]. - The region has rich green electricity resources, with a total installed capacity of 11.072 million kilowatts for new energy, and is strategically located at the junction of Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Inner Mongolia, facilitating the coverage of the central and western regions [5]. Collaborative Efforts and Future Plans - The successful signing and rapid implementation of the project are results of mutual efforts and long-term cooperation between the local government and SANY Group, which has already invested 5 billion yuan in various projects in Shuo Zhou, achieving an output value of 3.5 billion yuan [6]. - Future plans include expanding product types to include wide-body trucks, concrete mixers, loaders, excavators, fire-fighting equipment, and forklifts, while developing supporting industries to create an advanced manufacturing industry cluster [6].
