In the Year of the Dragon, Changzhou, a city called "Dragon City", officially announced its entry into the "trillion club".
Changzhou, which has risen against the trend, is well-known as the "new energy capital". Changzhou has contracted about one-fifth of the output of power batteries in the country with the power of one city, creating a "Chinese heart" for new energy vehicles, and attracting more than 300 new energy companies such as CATL, BYD and Ideal, and one out of every 10 new energy vehicles exported in the country is produced in Changzhou.
Changzhou's trillion-dollar road is a vivid microcosm of China's reform and opening up, and a typical case of endogenous drive and connotation growth in small and medium-sized cities. Learn from advanced experience, raise the benchmark of work, and promote in-depth cooperation. On February 28, the party and government delegation of Heze City came to Changzhou to study and inspect, visited the planning exhibition hall of the "Two Lakes" Innovation Zone, went deep into the enterprises and parks, felt the surging power of the high-quality development of the new energy capital, and started a journey of enlightening ideas, learning and exchanges, and win-win cooperation.
On February 18, the first working day after the Spring Festival holiday in the Year of the Dragon, Changzhou, a newly promoted city with a GDP of one trillion yuan, held a "Trillion City Re-start Mobilization Conference", focusing on the theme of "forging new quality productivity and generating new momentum for development" for mobilization and deployment. On February 19, Heze held a high-level opening up and high-quality investment promotion conference, anchoring the goal of "coming from behind", and this meeting will take "openness" and "investment" as the theme, persistently promote a strong industrial city, and accumulate energy to accelerate high-quality development and build a strong future.
Jiangsu Lopal Technology Co., Ltd.'s lithium iron phosphate sector has laid out five production bases in Changzhou, Jiangsu, Tianjin, Suining, Sichuan, Xiangyang, Hubei and Heze, Shandong, with a production capacity of more than 240,000 tons per year by the end of 2023. New year, new hope. When the new energy capital meets the peony capital of China, what kind of sparks will collide and what breakthroughs will be achieved on the road of high-quality development?
The two places will join hands to move towards the "new" and further strengthen exchanges and cooperation, which will surely give birth to surging momentum for high-quality development.
Create a bright future in the era of "two lakes".
The flat boat is flooded in the east of the lake at night, and the moon is full of autumn in the sky", the Qing Dynasty poet Zhao Yi wrote the vast smoke and waves of the lake, and the water was shining. Today, more than 200 years later, the Changzhou "Two Lakes" Innovation Zone Planning Exhibition Hall takes the lake and river as the vein, relying on the two green business cards of Zhuhu Lake and Changdang Lake, to promote the growth of the city to the lake and the development of the lake, forming a beautiful picture of the lake in the city, the city in the lake, the lake city taking pictures, and the people and water interdependent.
With the theme of "Ecological Innovation Zone, the Most Beautiful Lake Bay City" and the main line of "New City, New Industry, and New Talents", it is composed of "Preface Hall, Six Main Exhibition Halls, Digital Sand Table Hall and Tail Hall".
The exterior of the exhibition hall simulates the unique architectural characteristics of Jiangnan through the architectural blocks of "Jiangnan Yin", and constructs a miniature modern urban boutique landscape. High-tech means are used in many places in the museum, and modern sound and light equipment such as laser imaging holographic projection, multi-**, overall planning model and key project small model, digital sand table, naked-eye 3D and other modern sound and light equipment are integrated into a number of display links, and the display content is very professional, knowledgeable, interesting and artistic, integrating history and the future as a whole, giving people infinite reverie. Through multi-class art installations, you can feel the picture of the times when Changzhou's urban development is in full swing, and experience the planning and construction of the "Two Lakes" Innovation Zone in an all-round, multi-level and three-dimensional way.
Today, the "Two Lakes" Innovation Zone Planning Exhibition Hall opens its arms and warmly embraces every visitor, telling the future story of Changzhou's "time and situation, lake and city".
The new energy capital is surging.
Manufacturing is the brightest feature, the biggest advantage and the strongest competitiveness of the city, and the new energy industry is the "way to win" and "unique skill" of Changzhou's forging development advantages.
As a "famous international intelligent manufacturing city", Changzhou's "new quality productivity" has already become considerable and perceptible in the industry's "new" and upward breakthrough. On the "2023 Hurun Global 500", a total of 33 Chinese companies are on the list. Among them, CATL, BYD, and Li Auto have all made key layouts in Changzhou and have production bases.
Back in 2016, Li Xiang, CEO of Li Auto, came to Changzhou with a three-page PPT to find a production base. After several rounds of intensive negotiations, Changzhou Wujin High-tech Zone, which is optimistic about this entrepreneurial team, has been favored by innovative models such as the combination of bidding and investment, and Changzhou has become one of the first cities to set foot in new energy vehicle manufacturing.
At present, the Ideal L7, L8 and L9 models are all produced in the Changzhou factory.
The annual production capacity of the first and second phases of the plant has reached 600,000 vehicles; The third phase of the plant, which is under construction, will welcome new members of the L6 and pure electric models in April this year, laying out ahead of the ideal goal of sprinting 1.6 million units in 2025.
The ideal choice of Changzhou reflects the magnetic attraction effect of Changzhou's "new" industry.
In 2009, the state launched the "Ten Cities and Thousand Vehicles Project", and Changzhou immediately established a new energy vehicle research institute to recruit high-end talents at home and abroad in the field of new energy vehicles and cultivate core parts industry projects. For more than 10 years, Changzhou's new energy industry has entered the first phalanx in the country.
Changzhou is moving towards the "new", developing the industrial space, industrial quality and industrial scale in depth and "depth", and transforming the real economy into the driving force and vitality of high-quality development. Changzhou has taken the lead in building a closed-loop industry of "power generation, storage and transmission network" in the field of new energy, and it is deeply integrated. The industrial agglomeration is among the top three in the country, the investment enthusiasm is the first in the country, and the construction of a new energy capital is surging forward. Last year, Changzhou's new energy vehicle output was nearly 680,000 units, accounting for 70% of Jiangsu's total; It gathers more than 3,400 enterprises in the new energy vehicle industry chain, basically forming an industrial closed loop.
Independent innovation opens up a new track.
In Changzhou Wujin National High-tech Industrial Development Zone, Jiangsu Hengli Hydraulic Co., Ltd. high-pressure cylinder manufacturing base production line, different types of swing cylinders are passing the factory test one by one. After the three new swing cylinders developed by the company achieve mass production, they can increase sales of more than 100 million yuan for the company every year, and drive the upgrading and development of more than 400 enterprises in the industrial chain, and promote the realization of independent and controllable, safe and reliable industrial chains.
The oil cylinder is regarded as the 'left hand and right arm' of construction machinery, and the swing cylinder can swing from 0 degrees to 360 degrees as needed, which is used in the rotation of the working frame of the aerial work vehicle, the positioning of the drilling arm of rock drilling equipment, and the steering of road equipment tires or tracks. Li Dongming, assistant to the president of the company, said.
Due to the technical difficulty, the market for oscillating cylinders was previously monopolized by foreign companies. "We have cooperated with Chongqing University, East China Jiaotong University, etc., and collaborated with upstream businessmen to tackle key problems, and finally achieved key technological breakthroughs, with 22 authorized patents. Tang Chengjian, head of new product development of the company's hydraulic technology center, said that the company has an annual production capacity of 20,000 sets of swing cylinders to ensure that the first chain is independent and controllable.
Jiangsu Hengli Hydraulic Co., Ltd. is a large-scale multinational enterprise integrating research, production and sales of hydraulic cylinders, hydraulic pumps, hydraulic valves, hydraulic systems and other products, and a leading enterprise of hydraulic parts in China, with 11 manufacturing bases and 7 R&D centers around the world. After more than 30 years of development, the company has developed from a single cylinder product manufacturer to a comprehensive service provider integrating hydraulic valves, hydraulic pumps, hydraulic systems, precision castings and other high-end hydraulic systems.
Changzhou adheres to independent innovation on the road of exploring new industrialization, and relies on new technologies to activate new kinetic energy, expand new fields and open up new tracks.

Changzhou, the capital of new energy, has injected new momentum into the energy transition through digital and intelligent technologies. Today, it is aiming at the goal of "achieving a new energy industry scale of over one trillion yuan by 2025", making every effort to build a new energy city that leads the Yangtze River Delta, radiates the whole country and has global influence, and contributes to the "Changzhou Plan", highlights the "value of Changzhou" and embodies the "responsibility of Changzhou" in serving the major national strategies.
Climb high and look far away to broaden your horizons; Only by emancipating the mind can we plan the future.
Behind the butterfly change in Changzhou is the patient watering of the new industry "ten years as a day", the careful layout of the new kinetic energy "touching the stone and exploring the way", and the painstaking change of the new model "bold choice".
Fusion in running, force in innovation, and forge ahead in cooperation. This study and investigation is not only a trip to learn from the scriptures of "stones from other mountains", but also a trip to "see the wise and think together". Learning the innovative ideas and experience practices of advanced cities is to apply the results of the investigation to specific work, promote practical work with in-depth learning, and complement each other's advantages for win-win development. The beauty of mountains and rivers stirs up the power of innovation, and hand in hand with the city of trillions, Heze will be able to accelerate high-quality development, and strive to be strong and backward to the "new".
