Thriving Chinese Urban Centers Bolster Encouragement for Private Businesses
In the skies above Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, January 8, 2024, an aerial drone snapped a picture of robotic arms at work. These arms were busy assembling components for new energy vehicles (NEV) at a private company nestled within the bustling Changxing Economic and Technological Development Zone. The scene captured by photographer Tan Yunfeng paints a vivid picture of China's burgeoning green-transport revolution (Photo by Tan Yunfeng/Xinhua).
However, details regarding the specifics of this NEV production within the Changxing zone are somewhat scarce. For instance, the recent acquisition of Suzhou Maishuo Automation by the GMT Group (April 2025) and its "New Energy Auto Parts Automation Division" suggests activity in NEV-related automation services, although no clear connection to the Changxing-based private NEV manufacturers can be found.
On a broader scale, Guangdong Province represents approximately 25% of China’s NEV production. While no similar data is available for Zhejiang’s Changxing zone, it's clear that China’s NEV market is poised for success, projected to surpass an astonishing 16 million sales by 2025 (source 2). Private enterprises across the nation showed improved production and operational performance in Q1 2025 (source 1), but specific information on Changxing's private NEV makers remains elusive in the cited reports. To delve deeper into the local production figures, direct inquiries would be necessary to the Changxing Economic Development Zone administration or Zhejiang provincial industry reports.
