At the beginning of 2011, Jinhua held its first on-site promotion meeting for the new energy industry. Jin Zhongliang, then vice mayor of Jinhua, said with confidence that the new energy economy will become a new growth point of Jinhua's economy and the main force of Jinhua's economic transformation and upgrading.

  Only six months later, Jinhua was successfully selected as the "first batch of demonstration cities for the promotion and application of new energy vehicles", realizing the industrial transformation from "traditional cars and motorcycles" to "new energy vehicles", and taking a key step in the development of new energy vehicles. Since 2014, Jinhua new energy vehicle industry has entered a period of rapid development.

  As of 2015, the sales volume of Jinhua new energy vehicles accounted for 15% of the national sales volume, and the sales volume of Zhongtai ranked second in the country. From January to March 2016, Jinhua new energy automobile and parts manufacturing industry achieved an output value of RMB 11.428 billion, with a year-on-year increase of 34.67%, 2.85 percentage points higher than the average growth of the whole province, and the growth rate has continuously maintained a historically high level.

  This is only the first step. Now Jinhua new energy industry is planning a second gorgeous upgrade, trying to build an ecosystem of new energy vehicles from "production and application".

Production transformation:

  Transformation of automobile and motorcycle industry to new energy

  Jinhua, known as "China's automobile and motorcycle industry base", has always had a solid foundation of traditional automobile industry. According to the statistics of 2012, there are about 1700 automobile, motorcycle and parts manufacturing enterprises in the city, including 36 enterprises with more than 100 million yuan; The total output value of the industry is about 50 billion yuan, the output value of affiliated enterprises is 60 billion yuan, and there are nearly 200000 employees.

  With such a solid family background, do you continue to stick to traditional industries or transform to new energy? Facing the general trend that the State encourages the development of new energy vehicle industry, Jinhua Municipal government resolutely chose the latter. In 2011, it took the lead in issuing the implementation plan for the promotion and application of new energy vehicles in Jinhua City to subsidize urban residents and units to purchase new energy vehicles. In 2012, the opinions on cultivating and developing strategic emerging industries and accelerating the promotion of new industrialization was issued to give varying degrees of financial incentives to enterprises that have newly obtained the national automobile product announcement catalogue and enterprises that produce enterprise parts.
