I. Industry overview

Showcasing a large number of car parts producers, e.g. TI automotive, Asahi Automotive Glass (China) Co., Ltd., Dicastal Wheel Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Xinglong Industry Group, Qinhuangdao Dicamry Wheel Co., Ltd., and Castec Industry （Qinhuangdao）Co., Ltd., the QETDZ has established itself as China’s largest and most advanced production base of high-end wheel-hubs and the second largest national production base of automotive glass products, with an industrial structure highlighted by core products including special-purpose vehicles, car wheel-hub, glass, fluid system, wiring harness, rearview mirror and sedan door, etc.

II. Development advantages

1. Location
Qinhuangdao is situated at the very heart of the “Bohai-Rim” automobile industry circle, attracting a whole host of well-known domestic automobile manufacturers, such as FAW Group, Haifei Auto Group, Beijing Automobile Holding Group, Tianjin Group Meiya Auto Manufacture Co., Ltd., Shanghai Brilliance Group Co., Ltd., China National Heavy Duty Truck Group Co., Ltd., and Great Wall Automobile Holding Co., Ltd., as well as world-leading car producers, including Toyota, General Motors, BMW, DaimlerChrysler and Hyundai, etc. In addition, the “Bohai-Rim” automobile industry circle also boasts a comprehensive coverage of auto products, ranging from spare parts to finished cars, from trucks to passenger and business vehicles, etc. A preliminary statistics reveals that, on average, the number of cars produced in this area accounts for 1/2 of the overall vehicle output in China—a clear indication that there is a massive market for the QETDZ to further develop its auto parts industry.

2. Local resources
As the “Chinese capital of glass production”, Qinhuangdao is an ideal place for automobile glass producers, providing them with a sustainable locally-based supply of top-rate float glass materials. Furthermore, thanks to local specialists in metal rolling, e.g. Qinhuangdao Shougang Plate Co., Ltd., and Alcoa Bohai Aluminum Industries Co., Ltd., and renowned iron and steel complexes at surrounding cities, e.g. Beijing, Tangshan, Benxi and Anshan, vehicle parts manufacturers in Qinhuangdao will benefit from a highly cost-effective supply of steel and aluminum materials.

3. A fully-developed industrial chain
As one of the “backbone” industries of the local economy, equipment manufacturing in Qinhuangdao has developed rapidly in recent decades, resulting in the emergence of a large number of distinguished manufacturers, best-known examples of which include Harbin Power Station Equipment Group (Qinhuangdao) Heavy Equipment Co., Ltd., Tianwei Baobian (Qinhuangdao) Transformer Co., Ltd., Qinhuangdao Tobacco Machinery Co., Ltd., China Railway Shanhaiguan Bridge Group, Shanhaiguan Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd. and Qinhuangdao Sihai CNC M&E Equipment Co., Ltd., etc. These enterprises will prove themselves reliable subcontractors or outsourcing service providers for car parts suppliers.

IV. A car parts manufacturing base alongside automobile producers in Beijing and Tianjin, each fulfilling separate but complementary industrial needs

Basing its developments on local marketing, resource and industrial-chain related advantages and relevant requirements stipulated in the national Policy for the Development of the Automobile Industry, the QETDZ is committed to further developing local supporting systems for the production of car parts, which is regarded as one of its leading industries, and attracting producers of key components, e.g. automobile electronics, engine, gearbox and steering gear, etc. In so doing, we seek to turn the QETDZ into a car parts manufacturing base alongside automobile producers in Beijing and Tianjin, each fulfilling separate but complementary industrial needs.
