With the increasing global concern over environmental pollution and the policy support from the Chinese government for the development of new energy vehicles, the manufacturing industry of new energy vehicle forgings has rapidly developed both at home and abroad. This article will introduce the level of new energy vehicle forging manufacturing industry from two aspects.
- The Development of Domestic New Energy Vehicle Forging Manufacturing Industry
The Chinese government has issued a series of policies supporting the development of new energy vehicle industry, such as “New Energy Vehicle Industry Plan (2021-2035)”, etc., which greatly promote the development of new energy vehicle forging manufacturing industry.
In actual production, some large automobile manufacturing enterprises such as BYD, BAIC new energy, Changan, etc., have started to transform from traditional fuel cars to new energy vehicles, and their required forgings and other parts have also been produced by domestic forging enterprises. For example, China Railway Casting & Forging Group Co. Ltd., a member enterprise of China Forging Association, relies on its advanced forging technology and equipment to establish cooperative relationships with domestic well-known enterprises such as BYD, BAIC new energy, etc., providing high-quality forging products.
- The Level of Foreign New Energy Vehicle Forging Manufacturing Industry
In foreign countries, companies such as Otto Fuchs Group in Germany and Alcoa Corporation in the United States are in a leading position in the new energy vehicle forging manufacturing industry. For example, Otto Fuchs Group has developed and produced bearing ring forgings for Tesla Model S, and its quality and technical level have reached the international first-class level.
In general, domestic new energy vehicle forging manufacturing industry still needs to improve its quality and technical level, strengthen cooperation and exchange with foreign companies, so as to gradually achieve the goal of keeping pace with the leading foreign companies.
