As a central city in the Yangtze River Delta, Hangzhou not only has a large market space, but also has a number of backbone enterprises and scarce resources for vehicle announcements, as well as strong parts and components industry support. As an important auto parts base in China, it is realistic for Hangzhou to vigorously develop the automobile and parts industry.

Support the development of Zhongyu Automobile. On the other hand, we have taken a broader and further perspective and actively sought cooperation with foreign countries in order to achieve strategic cooperation with well-known domestic and foreign automobile companies and introduce new vehicle projects. Second, we must vigorously develop the parts and components industry. We will give full play to the leading role of local companies such as Wanxiang, Xingdi, Iveco, etc., and further promote the entire industry to improve its technical content and supporting capabilities, and to better access domestic and international auto parts procurement systems. Xiaoshan District should establish a national auto parts industrial base. Third, we must adhere to independent innovation, strengthen research and development of new products and personnel training, rely on scientific research institutes and powerful large enterprises to establish public R&D platforms, and continuously enhance the competitiveness of the automotive industry. Fourth, we must pay close attention to the development of the automobile development platform and plan and establish the Hangzhou Automobile Industry Park in Jiangdong. Fifth, we must increase support for the automotive industry, the city set up a special fund, the development zone to strengthen policy support, and actively introduce, run a full vehicle project, funding key technology research. Research encourages the use of preferential measures for local automotive products. Sixth, we must strengthen leadership in the development of the automotive industry.
