With the increasing global environmental awareness, the pollution and emissions problems of traditional fuel vehicles are becoming increasingly prominent, and new energy vehicles as an alternative are gradually being widely recognized and promoted. The forged parts for new energy vehicles are an important component of the new energy vehicle manufacturing field, so it is important to analyze their advantages and disadvantages.
I. The advantages of forged parts for new energy vehicles:
- Environmental protection: New energy vehicles use electric energy to drive, and there is no pollution or emissions, which makes them an ideal replacement for traditional fuel vehicles and meets the modern society’s green travel demand.
- High efficiency: The lightweight and high-strength characteristics of the forged parts for new energy vehicles can improve the performance of the vehicle, enhance the range and speed of the vehicle.
- Economy: The raw materials of forged parts for new energy vehicles are non-toxic and harmless materials such as aluminum alloy, which has lower cost, longer service life and lower operating and maintenance costs compared to traditional fuel vehicles.
- Policy support: The country has given strong support to the new energy vehicle industry, and the corresponding policies are becoming more perfect, so that the development prospects of this industry are optimistic.
II. The disadvantages of forged parts for new energy vehicles:
Although the forged parts for new energy vehicles have many advantages, there are also some disadvantages to be aware of:
- Technical challenges: Compared with traditional fuel vehicles, the technology of forged parts for new energy vehicles is relatively new, especially the electric drive technology, which involves highly complex mechanical and electronic fields and requires constant innovation and improvement.
- Lack of standards: The market for forged parts for new energy vehicles is gradually heating up, but due to the lack of unified standards in this field, there are large differences in product specifications and sizes, and the overall development of the industry is relatively scattered.
- Cost issues: Although the cost of forged parts for new energy vehicles is relatively low, the corresponding production costs are relatively high due to the complexity of the production process, which affects its competitiveness in the market.
Case analysis
With the rapid development of the new energy intelligent automobile industry, the forged parts for new energy vehicles industry has great opportunities and challenges. From the perspective of national policies, after the release of the “Announcement” in 2019, the lightweighted parts market represented by aluminum alloy had become more popular and fast-developing. Aluminum alloy forged parts have the characteristics of large promotion space and demand, and thus a series of new energy vehicle manufacturing related enterprises have emerged under the acceleration of capital.
Taking Changzhou City as an example, in recent years, the local government attaches great importance to the development of the forged parts for new energy vehicles industry and focuses on promoting industrial transformation and upgrading. The Nanhu Logistics Park in Changzhou invested about 100 million yuan to initiate the establishment of Xin Song Yuan Aluminum Forging Company. At present, this company has obtained multiple patents, and the aluminum forging machine has gradually transitioned into the digital era. Against the background of increasingly urgent customer service and user experience, Xin Song Yuan Aluminum Forging Company launched an aluminum alloy precision forging project in 2019.
