The 2025 conference on the development of the commercial motors industry, held in decai, on the theme “creating new races, gathering new dynamics — developing new quality productivity in the commercial motors industry”, attracted more than 200 c8 (china's consortium of carriers) and major industrial chains, over 30 research institutes, over 600 academicians and entrepreneurs to exchange in depth new trends, directions and routes in the commercial automobile industry. In the view of industry, the current transformation of our commercial motor vehicle industry is accelerating, while at the same time facing new situations and challenges。
The vice-president and secretary-general of the chinese automotive industry association stated that in recent years the chinese automobile industry had won competitive opportunities in the transition to electric, intelligent and low-carbonization, attracting widespread global attention and becoming a new business card for manufacturing. Commercial vehicles, which are an important area for green low-carbon development in the automotive industry and an important vehicle for building new quality productivity, are now at a critical stage of transformational upgrading and high-quality development, with green, low-carbon, intelligent and globalized growth becoming the focus of the future of the commercial automobile industry。
“car manufacturing involves a wide variety of knowledge and industry categories, and each small step forward in a commercial car means a major step forward in the chain and supply chain behind it.” the professor of automotive engineering at wuhan polytechnic university, changqing do, stated that commercial vehicles were essentially a means of production and that their customers were generally more rational and focused on practicality, durability and economy. The technological build-up and customer trust of traditional motor companies are the firmest fundamentals of the industry under the wave of new powers。
The panellists argued that in recent years, the end-market demand for vehicles has been weak, market performance has been weak and commercial car markets are functioning; this year, new energy products linked to smart networks and exports abroad have been important in boosting the market; and in the future, the industry will still need to continuously upgrade its product capacity, technological innovation and branding to better cope with the transformation of the commercial car industry。
Exchanges were held on topics such as the integration of the intellectualization of commercial vehicles with the new quality of productivity, the ecological development of super-fast-charge industries and the trend towards the development of new energy commercial car-powered batteries; institutions such as the association of the automotive industry of china, the beijing representation office of the european association of automotive industries, and the china centre for research on the strategic development of automobiles of tianjin university, respectively, conducted in-depth discussions on the direction of industry development, the digital transformation strategy, etc。
The day before the opening of the congress, the east wind motor museum was officially opened. The museum is re-enacted by the transformation of the city of hubei, from a small town in the mountains, to the capital of the chinese commercial car. For more than half a century, the east wind motors and the ten thieves have shared a good message of mutual support and achievement between the companies and the cities. In 2003, the headquarters of east windsor was relocated to wuhan, but the commercial vehicle production base is still ten years old, with the associated advanced technology, high-end talent, complete production lines, etc。
“in the context of the general trend of intelligent manufacturing in the commercial car industry, the east wind commercial vehicle is committed to building a customer-centred eco-connected digital platform for intelligent logistics.” east wind commercial motors ltd. Party secretary and deputy general manager zheng hua stated that the east wind commercial motors, through innovative initiatives such as the extension of the production plan to the sales chain, the extension of resource security to suppliers, and the promotion of flexible production patterns, would enable the flow of orders, data consistency and the promotion of value chain business linkages. At the same time, strong efforts are being made to promote resource transparency, build reliable resource security supply chains, deepen supply chain synergies, promote quantitative assessment of resource delivery risks, and establish a platform for vendor resource transparency to ensure stability and timeliness in resource availability。
As indicated by liu wing, general manager of the marketing department of east wind commercial motors ltd., future domestic patterns of multiple fuel routes, such as fuel, gas and new energy sources, will be developed to meet the needs of users of different scenarios in different regions, and chinese enterprises will further accelerate their access to the sea and continue to exploit overseas market opportunities. “intellectual driving will enter the landing phase, the l-4 smart driving system will be commercialized in closed areas such as ports, mines, and the l2 assistive driving technology penetration will increase significantly.”
At the conference, 30 innovative technologies such as china's commercial vehicle innovation technology focused on new energy sources for commercial vehicles, smart driving, networking, fuel cell engines, etc. Were released, demonstrating the innovative results and technological progress made in the country's commercial car industry chain。
Journalists have learned that, thanks to the full chain of the automobile industry and the rich industrial clusters, it has been possible to “assemble a car in the city” and have been at the forefront of commercial vehicle manufacturing, applications and innovation throughout the country. According to changqin, the ten millimeters are an important commercial vehicle production base in the country, with unique advantages and one of the most industrialized and industrial chains in the country and one of the most visible clusters, building a solid, high-quality development chassis with 54 years of accumulation。
“we have a clear goal, focusing on new energy and smart grids, to grow commercial cars, specialized cars, spare parts, and to build a matrix of pure electricity, fuel, and blending multiple industries.” wang yonghui, mayor of xenjiang, said. Zhang zhang zheng, the standing committee of the city of xeng city and the deputy mayor of zhang, stated that in 2024, together with the major cities of beijing, shanghai and wuhan, he had been selected for the first 20 pilot cities of the country's smart-networked vehicle “integration of road clouds”。
Today, the ten-year-olds are increasingly seeking investment in the automobile sector, focusing on serving hubei and building up key strategic points in the centre, accelerating the construction of the “china's commercial capital”. At the conference, 38 priority cooperation projects were contracted in the areas of new energy vehicles, vehicle parts, new materials, equipment, etc., with a total investment of $17,385 million。
