Wuxi integrates intelligent network, and the Internet of Vehicles welcomes the new outlet.

    The production line will be delivered in the month when it is put into use. In the Sirun Tianlang dust-free and constant-temperature workshop located in Wuxi High-tech Zone Comprehensive Insurance Zone, all production line equipment is running at full capacity to meet the customer’s order delivery. "This year, the second production line of Wuxi Manufacturing Center is put into use, with an annual production capacity of 1 million/set, and an estimated output value of 150 million yuan." Cui Changfu, deputy general manager, told Xibao.

    According to Wuxi Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, there are currently 201 car networking related enterprises in the city, and the scale of related industries in the first half of the year is 54.4 billion yuan. We will continue to promote the integration of automobiles and parts, smart transportation industry and car networking, and promote the transformation and upgrading of related enterprises. The car networking industry has entered an accelerated period in Wuxi.

   Superimposed competitiveness of platform enterprises

    In March 2022, Srun Tianlang, a car networking company, chose to start construction of the first-phase manufacturing center in Wuxi High-tech Zone. In less than half a year, the first fully-automatic production line was put into use, completing the closed loop from the intelligent networked cloud control and big data platform to the vehicle networking communication terminal TBOX, which made the vehicle networking system products for vehicle manufacturers more competitive.

    Whether in the passenger field or the commercial field, with the Internet of Vehicles becoming a necessary option for intelligent driving, the industrial outlet is opening.

    Cui Changfu told Xibao that all new energy vehicles and most traditional models that leave the factory need to be equipped with the car networking system. "The simplest explanation of V2X is that cars can connect everything. With the sharp increase in car ownership in China market and the realization of more and more intelligent and entertainment functions, the car networking and intelligent networked automobile industry will usher in an order of magnitude development."

    At present, the TBOX produced by Srun Tianlang is equivalent to a "gateway" for the connection between the automobile and the network. Traditional energy vehicles and all new energy vehicles involving data collection and storage, remote control, remote fault diagnosis, vehicle-machine communication and positioning need to be installed. "Relevant data is transmitted to Srun Tianlang’s terminal platform and pushed to car companies in real time, realizing a closed loop of product services."

   Incremental parts achieve considerable growth

    Located in Wuxi Economic Development Zone, Enterprise Car Link World is more focused on the development and production of integrated, lightweight and convenient intelligent cockpit. "The’ new four modernizations of automobiles’ marked by electrification, networking, intelligence and sharing makes it inevitable for automobiles to be advanced into intelligent mobile spaces." Yang Hongze, chairman of Chelian Tianxia, said. It is understood that in the first half of this year, the company’s revenue reached 859.7 million yuan, and its profitability was further enhanced.

    Focus on promoting the development of incremental components such as automotive radar and domain controller. During this year’s Shanghai Auto Show, Wuxi Weifu Hi-Tech Group Co., Ltd. announced that it had reached a strategic cooperation with Didi Autopilot Freight Company KargoBot and Israeli chip company Arbe Robotics to jointly promote the research and development and commercial application of 4D imaging radar in the field of autonomous driving. Xibao learned that related products will be mainly used in autonomous driving solutions in trunk logistics and intelligent freight transportation.

    As an important automobile industry base in Jiangsu, Wuxi has a relatively complete automobile industry system. With the development of automobile industry in the direction of intelligent networking, it is an effective way to transform and upgrade the automobile and parts industry by fully considering the functions of intelligent networking and forming a number of parts products with intelligent networking capabilities.

   Integrating intelligent network to realize industrial upgrading

    Since 2019, Wuxi’s automobile industry has accelerated the transformation and upgrading of intelligence and networking. In 2022, the output value of the city’s car networking and intelligent networking automobile core industries was 35.1 billion yuan, and its Chinese far-knowing self-driving East China headquarters project landed in Wuxi, jointly developing the industrial production of self-driving kits with Bosch; The headquarters of Sirun Tianlang Technology Co., Ltd. landed in Wuxi, and was upgraded from a single production enterprise to a "intelligent terminal+platform service" enterprise; Hairong Electronics Co., Ltd. invested 10 billion yuan to build a vehicle intelligent sensor production line, and constantly strengthened the product level of vehicle regulations; The Geely Collaborative Innovation Center project landed in Wuxi, promoting the improvement of the intelligent level of various Geely models and the research and development process of vehicle-road collaborative automatic driving, and incubating industrialization projects such as vehicle-level chips and vehicle-mounted intelligent terminals; Bosch Intelligent Networked Automobile Division was established in Wuxi, focusing on providing intelligent networked solutions for vehicle enterprises, and jointly carrying out high-grade ADAS assisted driving and automatic driving tests with the Autopilot Division.

    According to relevant sources of the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, Wuxi will focus on the integration of the automobile and parts industry and the intelligent network connection, and combine the direction of car-level chips, car-side perception and automatic driving algorithms to strengthen investment attraction and accelerate the transformation and upgrading of auto parts enterprises.
