He said that at present, the social and economic green transformation under the background of “dual carbon” is irreversible. As a pillar industry of the national economy and a “big carbon emitter”, the automobile industry is the first to bear the brunt. How to better and faster promote the process of new energy for commercial vehicles is a key proposition that car companies and the entire industry chain need to solve. One of the answers is “lightweight”, which is also the key point for Beiqi Foton and Weiqiao Ventures to deepen their innovation and development in Binzhou, the “wise city”. Weiqiao Ventures has strong technical strength and rich innovation achievements in the aluminum industry, which has strongly promoted the lightweight development of the automotive industry. As the commercial vehicle segment of BAIC Group, Beiqi Foton is also the core strategic sector of BAIC’s independent innovation and development. In recent years, it has continued to deepen the direction of automobile lightweight and strive to build its core competitiveness. Futian and Weiqiao have combined their strengths and complemented each other’s advantages. They not only combine Futian’s specialization and marketability in the field of commercial vehicles, but also give full play to the technological innovation effect of Weiqiao’s deep cultivation of aluminum products for many years. It is a new energy source for commercial vehicles. Chemical and lightweight have created a new model of cooperative innovation and development. This time the first all-aluminum body is rolled off the assembly line. It is a new structural body assembly jointly built by Foton and Weiqiao with lightweight and high strength as their technical advantages. , With industry-leading level. In the future, Foton will also carry out comprehensive lightweight cooperation with Weiqiao in cargo compartments, frames, transmission shafts, etc., and jointly develop the next 100,000-unit target market with “reducing weight and increasing efficiency” to help commercial vehicles become new energy sources. Transformation.

In his speech, Song Yongxiang, on behalf of the CPC Binzhou Municipal Party Committee and Binzhou Municipal People’s Government, extended welcome to all the guests and friends, and warmly congratulated the first all-aluminum body to roll off the assembly line. He said that Binzhou was born, flourished, and strong because of aluminum, and is well-known throughout the country and the world. “Aluminum” is light and heavy. Although the all-aluminum body is light, it is of great significance. The all-aluminum body, which is rolled off the assembly line and will be mass-produced this time, marks the realization of the full chain operation of the Weiqiao Lightweight Base. The key technology of “Kneck” is a fruitful result of the “dual” city construction of industry-education integration and industrial innovation; it is a great contribution to the national and global automobile industry. “Aluminum” has achieved good results, and the development effect of Binzhou’s aluminum industry can be seen from the off-line lightweight body. Binzhou is prospered by aluminum. The aluminum industry is the backbone of Binzhou’s core industry. It has created a number of firsts in the country and the best in the world. It is a “world high-end aluminum industry base” supported by national strategy and the province’s key layout; Binzhou is prospered by aluminum , Built a whole industry chain from bauxite, primary aluminum, aluminum profiles, to aluminum deep processing, and formed the world’s largest aluminum industry cluster led by Weiqiao Group; Binzhou is strong due to aluminum and accelerates the transformation and development of the aluminum industry , Realizing the continuous upgrade from “material” to “component” to “equipment”, Binzhou has also become the only high-end aluminum national high-tech industrialization base recognized by the Ministry of Science and Technology. The “aluminum” process is brand new, and the first all-aluminum body is off the assembly line, which means the beginning of a new “aluminum” process. It is necessary to continue to do a good job in the development of online, cooperative connection, and service online. Aluminum-related enterprises should anchor the development direction of lightweight, intelligent, and green, and promote the transformation of Binzhou aluminum industry from “largest scale” to “best value”. I look forward to all the guests who care about Binzhou, support Binzhou, and empower Binzhou as always, expand cooperation fields, innovate cooperation methods, and upgrade cooperation levels. The whole city will abide by the promise of “respect entrepreneurs, treat investors favorably, and serve taxpayers”, firmly establish the concept of “make enterprises and entrepreneurs comfortable”, and create a more comfortable business environment.

Pi Taitian said in his speech that the aluminum industry is the “root” of Zouping’s rise, and lightweighting has built the “dream” of Zouping’s take-off. Weiqiao Ventures accurately captures the industry’s “outreach”, and joins hands with industry leaders such as Suzhou Aojie, Guangzhou Hede, etc., to “transcend the cage and change the bird” to create a lightweight base for Weiqiao. With the official launch of the first all-aluminum body, a complete industrial chain of “from aluminum water-lightweight parts research and development, manufacturing-complete vehicle assembly” has been formed, allowing the aluminum industry and lightweighting to unite, so that the strength of the enterprise and the potential of the industry are perfect Integration makes the “dream of leapfrogging” and “dream of the future” of aluminum-based lightweighting shine into reality. The development of lightweight is the need for the transformation of the aluminum industry and the choice of Zouping era. It has also been highly valued by leaders at all levels of the province and the city. The base has been included in Shandong’s 14th Five-Year Plan and listed in Binzhou’s key projects. Focusing on building a 100-billion-level lightweight industry sector, we are committed to aggregation and cluster development along the chain, and the “potential” of surpassing the “time” of catching up and accumulating has been formed. I sincerely hope that the Weiqiao lightweight base will continue to seize opportunities, optimize technology, expand production and sales systems, and accelerate the creation of a lightweight R&D, testing, and manufacturing base with the largest production scale, the most advanced technology, and the entire automotive manufacturing process. Warmly welcome the majority of top auto companies to adopt the methods of industrial transfer and undertaking, supporting production bases, etc., to build a collaboration model of “remote R&D + Zouping production”, “remote headquarters + Zouping base”, “remote market + Zouping products”, and share opportunities for lightweight development , Narrate the stories about lightweight development.

Su Jiamin introduced the rollout of the first all-aluminum body at the Weiqiao Lightweight Base and the project. He said that since the cooperation between Weiqiao Venture Group and Suzhou Aojie in January 2020, it has been built and put into production that year. It took only six months from the entry of the body integrated equipment to the first car body off the assembly line, which fully reflects the speed of Weiqiao and the determination of Weiqiao to start a business in the industrial layout. Weiqiao Lightweight Base has attached great importance to material research and development and process innovation since its establishment. According to the process characteristics of aluminum Alloy, the industrial structure has been laid out, and five process production lines have been built for melting and casting, aluminum plate stamping, casting, forging, and system integration. To the closed-loop model of the entire industrial chain of parts production, assembly integration, vehicle assembly, recycling and reuse, the realization of a green and energy-saving economic model in which aluminum water does not fall to the ground and is recycled and reused. The mission of the Weiqiao Lightweight Base is to rewrite the aluminum alloy DNA code, redefine the aluminum alloy energy mission, and rebuild the aluminum alloy green bank.
