New energy vehicles, as one of the important directions for China’s industrial upgrading and transformation, are gradually becoming the mainstream of the automotive market. As one of the core components of new energy vehicles, forgings are also receiving increasing attention. However, the production cost of forgings has always been one of the bottlenecks that restrict their industry development. So, how is the production cost of forgings for new energy vehicles controlled?
Firstly, at the national policy level, China has given strong support to the development of forgings for new energy vehicles. In 2016, the state issued the “New Energy Automotive Industry Development Plan (2016-2020)”, proposed to accelerate innovation in the new energy automotive industry, promote the application of new energy vehicles, improve the policy system of the new energy automotive industry and other measures. Among them, the technology research and development, production manufacturing, and market application of forgings for new energy vehicles are all clearly planned and supported.
Secondly, in actual production process, companies have also taken various measures to reduce production costs and increase production capacity. For example, improving the technical content of production, using efficient and advanced production equipment and intelligent management platforms, optimizing production layout and processes, saving energy and resource consumption, etc. At the same time, by strengthening supply chain management, standardizing procurement and inventory management, reducing logistics and warehousing costs, optimizing internal work processes, enhancing production efficiency and quality control, further reducing costs.
Take a certain automobile forging enterprise as an example. By conducting in-depth analysis of its production process, the enterprise explores environmentally friendly, energy-saving raw materials and process solutions, and achieves cost reduction. Meanwhile, the enterprise also takes measures such as intelligent equipment management system and automated production lines, which not only improve production efficiency, but also realize product standardization and high quality.
In conclusion, the support of national policies and the practical exploration of enterprises are important factors for controlling the production cost of forgings for new energy vehicles. In the future, forging enterprises need to further strengthen technological innovation, improve intelligent level, and perfect management model in order to stand invincible in market competition.
