With the rise of new energy vehicles, new energy vehicle forgings have gradually become the focus of the industry in terms of environmental protection and energy conservation. The following will elaborate on their innovative measures from two aspects.
- Environmental Protection Innovation
To address environmental issues such as wastewater and exhaust emissions in the current new energy vehicle forging process, relevant policies and standards have been issued by government departments to encourage enterprises to actively carry out environmental protection transformation and innovation in their production processes. For example, the “New Energy Vehicle Industry Plan (2021-2035)” document proposes to promote green manufacturing and ecological environmental protection, which is an important task for enterprises to follow.
In fact, several environmental protection innovation cases have emerged in the new energy vehicle forging industry. Zhejiang Beilv Forgging Group Co., Ltd. has developed a new cleaning agent to solve the problem of difficult disposal of waste lubricants, which can remove impurities from waste lubricants and be reused. This innovation not only effectively solves the enterprise’s waste disposal problem but also provides a new green and environmentally friendly solution for other enterprises.
In addition, Yunnan Chihong Zinc & Germanium Co., Ltd. has developed a fully enclosed environmental forging manufacturing technology that uses solvents instead of traditional greases, achieving no-water operation in the process flow and effectively reducing sewage discharge.
- Energy-saving Innovation
New energy vehicle forgings require a lot of electricity and heat energy during the production process. Therefore, how to ensure product quality while saving electricity and heat energy has become a challenge that enterprises must face. National policy departments have also provided support to address this challenge. For example, the “National Environmental Labeling Product Technical Requirements for Die Casting, Forging, etc.” document aims to standardize the production process of green and environmentally friendly products such as die castings and forgings, improve product efficiency, and reduce energy waste. In addition, the Ministry of Finance has issued the “Interim Measures for the Administration of Energy-saving Product Certification Management” to encourage enterprises to promote the use of energy-saving products by providing tax subsidies for products that meet energy-saving standards.
Regarding energy conservation issues, the new energy vehicle forging industry also has many innovative measures. For example, Changchun Huatong Precision Forging Co., Ltd. has successfully developed a multi-stage low-energy consumption oven technology, which greatly reduces energy consumption using intermittent heating measures. In addition, the company has also effectively improved the utilization rate of forging products through measures such as using efficient multi-station molds and reducing the diameter of blanks.
Overall, the new energy vehicle forging industry’s continuous attention to and innovation in environmental protection and energy conservation are essential foundations for enterprise development and are in line with the global requirements for green manufacturing and sustainable development.
