March 10, 2023
A few days ago, the China Automotive Technology and Research Center announced that it will build a special-purpose automobile research institute and parts inspection base in Wuhan. After the project is completed, it will become the strongest technical service base in China's special-purpose automotive field. It is reported that the new base has a total investment of 278 million yuan, and the first phase of the project will invest about 150 million yuan. Through testing platform construction, it will provide specialized inspection services for special vehicles and become the strongest technical service base in this field in China.
Prior to this, Shandong Shantui Machinery Co., Ltd. signed a contract with Wuhan Hanfu Special Purpose Vehicle Co., Ltd. to form a joint venture company and invested about 900 million yuan to expand the scale of production, and strive to enter the top three in the country. Hubei Wanli Auto Parts and Components Co., Ltd. invested in the construction of the "Qintai Brand" cleaning vehicle and the Wuhan Automobile Modification Factory to build a new fire truck production line.
At present, many special vehicle manufacturers have come to China to inspect and seek cooperation opportunities, including Jinlong, China National Heavy Duty Truck and other well-known domestic enterprises. Industry insiders commented that Wuhan's special vehicle inspection and testing base was built to provide technical services nearby, and that there was a new "selling point" for Wuhan's "vehicle capital" to attract special-purpose vehicle companies outside its one million passenger vehicles.
Special vehicles are a category of commercial vehicles and are an important indicator of the level of a country’s auto industry. In Europe, special vehicles can account for over 80% of commercial vehicles. In China's auto sector, the sales of special vehicles reached 2 million vehicles last year, more than 10 times that of 10 years ago, accounting for 57% of the total sales of commercial vehicles. Wuhan's auto industry chain is perfect, and it has a good foundation for the automotive industry, providing a favorable environment for the production and sales of special vehicles.
