Recently, the reporter visited the Tianfu New Area New Energy and New Materials Industrial Park in Qionglai Economic Development Zone, Sichuan, and visited three enterprises: Sichuan Zhuoqin New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Zhuoqin New Materials"), Hongli New Energy (Chengdu) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Hongli New Energy"), and Sichuan Paidian Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Paidian Technology"), to experience the strong vitality of the local new energy battery industry chain accelerating agglomeration and the continuous improvement of industrial level.
Entering Zhuoqin New Materials, the production line operates at full capacity 24 hours a day, and rolls of ultra-thin membranes are wound up at a speed of hundreds of meters per minute, presenting a bustling production scene. Recently, Shanghai Putailai New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., the parent company of Zhuoqin New Materials, announced plans to invest 5.6 billion yuan to build a lithium-ion battery separator project with an annual output of 7.2 billion square meters in Qionglai. After production, the annual production capacity of Zhuoqin New Materials' base film will exceed 10 billion square meters.
Our main products are 7-micron and 5-micron ultra-thin base films, which have been mass-produced to top customers in the fields of power batteries, energy storage, and digital technology. Our annual production and sales are expected to increase significantly by 2026. Thinner products below 5-micron have been tested in small batches on the client side and are gradually increasing in quantity, "said Tao Jing, General Manager of Zhuoqin New Materials. The company currently has 75 patents, and two research and development projects have been selected for the R&D major project libraries of the Sichuan Provincial Department of Science and Technology and the Chengdu Municipal Bureau of Science and Technology. The next step is to break through the 3-micron ultra-thin high-strength base film and high pore high-strength diaphragm, and achieve mass production of results.
In the clean and organized workshop of Hongli New Energy, the fully automatic lithium battery production line runs at high speed, with 2000 lithium manganese oxide batteries accurately produced every minute. In the packaging area, automated equipment and workers collaborate efficiently to complete product finishing, sorting, and outbound in one go.
When it comes to the reasons for landing in Qionglai, Li Ming, Director of Hongli New Energy Human Resources Center, frankly stated that Qionglai has outstanding geographical advantages, convenient transportation, practical and efficient government services, and a complete industrial supporting system, which is highly in line with the company's development positioning. According to Li Ming, the company is deeply engaged in the research and development of manganese based lithium-ion batteries and large-scale production. It has accumulated multiple independent intellectual property patents and has established an efficient operation mechanism for linking research and development with mass production in the process of achievement transformation. We are currently making every effort to promote the construction of the third production line, which has entered the trial production stage, "he revealed." After the entire production process is stable, it is expected that the daily output will exceed 3 million units
At the construction site of Paidian Technology's intelligent electric motorcycle smart low-carbon factory project, it is also busy. The reporter saw that the main construction of the first phase of the project is underway and is expected to be completed by the end of 2026, with trial production in the first half of 2027. The total investment of this project is 1 billion yuan, and the first phase is designed to produce 400000 high-speed electric motorcycles annually. Wang Anwen, Vice General Manager of Paidian Technology, stated that the company has developed multiple independently controllable core technologies focusing on areas such as three electric systems, intelligent central control, integrated chassis, and extended range, which have been gradually transformed into vehicles.
Since its landing in Qionglai in early 2025, Paidian Technology has also felt the good development trend of the local new energy battery industry. The lithium battery industry chain in Qionglai Economic Development Zone is complete, with many leading companies, fast implementation, and sufficient supporting facilities. With precise government support, the industry has a strong development momentum and excellent business atmosphere, making it very suitable for new energy batteries and related supporting enterprises to take root and develop. Wang Anwen said that after the project is put into operation, the company will increase the proportion of local component procurement, deeply bind to the Qionglai new energy battery industry chain, and promote the agglomeration and upgrading of the regional two wheeled electric vehicle industry.
The steady development and accelerated expansion of three enterprises is a vivid reflection of the continuous improvement of the ecological system of Qionglai's new energy battery industry. In recent years, Qionglai Economic and Technological Development Zone has focused on "strengthening, supplementing, and extending the supply chain", creating a "core supply area" for lithium battery materials, a "strategic new highland" for terminal manufacturing, and a "green circular industrial ecosystem", forming a complete industrial ecology of "lithium salt materials equipment batteries applications". By 2025, industrial enterprises above designated size will achieve an output value of 14.14 billion yuan. Next, Qionglai will strive to achieve a total output value of over 50 billion yuan in the city's new energy battery industry by 2028, cultivate 3 to 5 billion level chain leading enterprises and top enterprises, comprehensively enhance the competitiveness of the industrial chain, and contribute Qionglai's strength to the high-quality construction of a national advanced manufacturing base in Chengdu.
