Heavily "betting" on Xinyuan Automobile, Chongqing explores a differentiated path following the SERES model.

On the morning of October 22nd, Fuling High - tech Zone (Fuling Comprehensive Bonded Area), on behalf of the district government, officially signed a strategic investment agreement with Xinyuan Automobile. Leaders such as Li Yong, the Secretary of the Fuling District Party Committee, Dong Yifeng, the District Mayor, and Du Haibo, the Chairman of the District Political Consultative Conference, along with company executives including Gong Daxing, the Chairman of Xinyuan Group, Xie Yong, the General Manager of Xinyuan Automobile (also the Vice - Chairman of Xinyuan Group), and Liu Yu, a Director of Xinyuan Group, jointly attended the signing ceremony.

According to the agreement, the two parties will carry out in - depth cooperation around the lightweight body of automobiles and the construction of intelligent production lines for auto parts.

This move is regarded as another important layout after the successful investment model of Seres in Chongqing Liangjiang New Area, marking that Chongqing's strategic deployment in building an intelligent and connected new - energy vehicle industrial cluster has entered a new stage.

Government - enterprise cooperation to accelerate the construction of Chongqing as the capital of intelligent and connected new - energy vehicles

As the "No.1 city for automobiles", the intelligent and connected new - energy vehicle industry is the top trillion - level industry in Chongqing's "33618" modern manufacturing cluster system. It is promoting the transformation and development of the automobile industry towards new - energy, intelligent and connected, high - end, and green directions, and moving towards becoming the "capital of intelligent and connected new - energy vehicles".

Under this strategic guidance, Fuling District is accelerating the cultivation of the "2349" modern manufacturing cluster, with a focus on the layout of two leading industries worth one hundred billion yuan each: advanced materials and power batteries and lightweight components for new - energy vehicles. As the only vehicle - manufacturing enterprise in Fuling District, Xinyuan Automobile naturally becomes the core carrier of the regional industrial planning.

This strategic cooperation is not just a simple investment behavior, but a systematic and all - around cooperation plan.

Fuling District provides a high - quality business environment, policy support, and supporting resources. Combined with Xinyuan Automobile's experience in vehicle manufacturing, the two parties will jointly promote the R & D and application of automobile lightweight technology, build intelligent production bases, and improve the modernization level of the industrial chain.

Li Yong, the Secretary of the Fuling District Party Committee, said that Fuling District and Xinyuan Automobile have a deep cooperation foundation. He hopes that Xinyuan Automobile will, with its forward - looking strategic layout and business model innovation, actively seize the new track of industry iteration and upgrading, accelerate the project construction, and release new impetus across the entire chain.

Build a model of "internal circulation" in the regional economy and create the "third pole" of Chongqing's automobile industry

The Chongqing Municipal Government's strong support for the success of Changan and Seres fully verifies that the upgrading of the intelligent and connected new - energy vehicle industry provides useful references for other regions and enterprises. However, the cooperation between Fuling District and Xinyuan Automobile shows some different ideas.

Firstly, different from Changan and Seres, which focus on high - end passenger cars and build high - end brands through intelligent cooperation, Xinyuan Automobile pays more attention to establishing a solid foundation in niche markets, especially in the layout of the new - energy commercial vehicle market. This helps to avoid homogeneous competition. This pattern of regional coordination and staggered development together constitutes the diversified and multi - level "Changan - Seres - Xinyuan" tripartite situation in Chongqing's automobile industry.

Secondly, in terms of the cooperation direction, Changan and Seres emphasize building an industrial ecosystem from R & D to the supply chain (such as the in - depth cooperation between Huawei and Seres). In contrast, Xinyuan Automobile's cooperation is more specific and clear, aiming at improving the quality and efficiency of industrial links such as lightweight body and intelligent production line construction for auto parts.

Seize the new - energy commercial vehicle track and promote strategic cooperation with new products as the carrier

It can be said that the strategic investment of the Fuling District Government in Xinyuan Automobile is a crucial step for both parties to jointly seize the new track of new - energy commercial vehicles. In response, Gong Daxing, the Chairman of Xinyuan Group, said that Xinyuan Automobile will rely on the strategic support of Fuling District, continue to deeply cultivate the new - energy commercial vehicle market, jointly build the Xinyuan Automobile brand, and promote the people of Fuling to drive Xinyuan cars.

Material lightweighting is a key technological path for energy conservation and emission reduction in the automobile industry and an important solution for improving the cruising range of new - energy vehicles. With the recent appearance of Xinyuan 116 in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's announcement, this strategic investment will not only accelerate the mass production and delivery of core products but also stand out in the entire "material - intelligent manufacturing - product - market" chain with the application of new materials and high - quality manufacturing.

This strategic cooperation between Fuling and Xinyuan Automobile has long exceeded simple project investment. It is a crucial move on the overall chessboard of Chongqing's goal of becoming the "capital of intelligent and connected new - energy vehicles". As the strategic cooperation is fully promoted, its significance lies not only in the rise of an enterprise or the industrial upgrading of a region but also in contributing a "Chongqing sample" of government - enterprise cooperation, industrial chain resilience reconstruction, and digital and intelligent transformation.
