On December 15, the signing ceremony of super integrated die casting strategic cooperation between Lijin Group & Nezha Automobile was held at the headquarters of Nezha Automobile in Shanghai. The two sides have carried out all-round in-depth strategic cooperation on the batch procurement of several ultra-large die-casting units, the joint research and development of more than 20,000 tons of ultra-large die-casting equipment, the establishment of die-casting demonstration bases, and the establishment of die-casting research institutes.
This cooperation has created a number of industry records, both in terms of the purchase scale of die casting equipment and the largest tonnage of die casting equipment, and will jointly promote the evolution of the industry to a more high-end, intelligent, green and efficient prospect. In particular, more than 20,000 tons of ultra-large intelligent die casting units will be planned to achieve the integration of the entire body chassis of B-class cars and larger models, once again subverting the new energy vehicle body chassis manufacturing process.
Nezha Car co-founder and CEO Zhang Yong, Nezha Car Chief technology Officer Dai Dali, Nezha Car Vice president and parts company president Peng Qingfeng, Nezha Auto parts company Vice president Wang Aiguo, Lijin Group founder Liu Xiangshang, Shenzhen Lijin Technology director Liu Yingying, Shenzhen Lijin Technology general manager Zhang Jun, Shanghai Yida general manager Hu Zaoren, Ren Yipeng, deputy general manager of the front assembly sales, and other leaders attended the event and witnessed the signing.
Zhang Yong, co-founder and CEO of Nezha Automobile, said that the cooperation between Nezha Automobile and Lijin Group is an innovation move by both sides to upgrade the industrial manufacturing ecology under the trend of automobile lightweight.
In addition to the purchase of several ultra-large die-casting equipment, the two sides will jointly establish a die-casting demonstration manufacturing base in Anhui, set up a die-casting research institute, and create a leading die-casting research institution integrating production, learning and research, and is committed to cultivating high-end design talents in the fields of die-casting research and development, process and tooling for the industry and society.
"The realization of the whole vehicle chassis integration die casting molding is the dream of every die casting person. Today, that dream is coming to fruition with Nezha." Mr. Liu Xiangshang, founder of Lijin Group, said, "Lijin will play to its technological advantages in the field of ultra-large integrated die casting to help Nezha's concept of 'science and technology equality' land; At the same time, the two sides continue to deepen industry-university-research cooperation to promote the development and upgrading of the new energy vehicle industry.
" The leaders of Lijin Group visited the user experience center of Nezha Automobile, deeply experienced many explosive models of Nezha Automobile, and visited the skateboard chassis technology of Nezha Automobile. At present, driven by the needs of automobile manufacturers to reduce weight and increase efficiency, automotive lightweight and structural parts integration die casting has become the development trend of the industry. As the head of China's new car manufacturing force, Nezha Automobile adheres to the values of "scientific and technological equality", adheres to the long-term route of self-research and self-production, and makes high-quality intelligent electric vehicles within reach, winning the recognition of nearly 400,000 users around the world.
This year alone, Nezha has released a series of heavy technical achievements such as Haozhi Technology brand 2.0, intelligent safety vehicle platform Shanhai Platform 2.0, and Cloud River platform, involving skateboard chassis, AI large model, central supercomputer (XPCPro) and other fields. Lijin Group, as the world's main die casting machine manufacturer, the domestic market share (50%+) has been in an absolute leading position for a long time.
It has created the industry's first super integrated die casting of new energy body floor and continues to lead the development of super integrated die casting in the direction of larger tonnage, more precision and more intelligent. In 2022, Lijin took the lead in letting the tonnage of die casting machine enter the 10,000-ton mark, and launched 12,000 tons of super-large intelligent die casting units in the world. In October 2023, Lijin once again broke through itself and launched 16,000 tons of super-large intelligent die casting units in the world.
The more than 20,000 tons of super-large intelligent die casting units cooperated with Nezha Automobile will once again break through innovation, subvert industry cognition, and also contribute to the rise of China's automotive industry in the world.
