Dongfeng Electric Vehicle Industrial Park pilot base unveiled in Wuhan


On June 2nd, China's first pilot base for the industrialization of patents for electric vehicle patents, the pilot base of the Dongfeng Electric Vehicle Industrial Park, was unveiled in Wuhan.

The establishment of a base to accelerate the pace of research and development of new energy vehicles.

“The National Patent Industrialization (Dongfeng Electric Vehicle Industrial Park) pilot base settled in Dongfeng, marking the acceleration of the national industrialization of new energy vehicles. It also means that the development of Dongfeng New Energy Vehicles will be supported by the national patent industrialization policy. An excellent platform has been established for the intellectual property, commercialization and industrialization of innovative energy products for new energy vehicles.” Xiao Xingwei, member of the Discipline Inspection Team of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the member of the State Intellectual Property Office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, stated at the foundation laying ceremony that he hopes the industrialization of national patents ( The pilot base of Dongfeng Electric Vehicle Industrial Park actively plays its own advantages, makes full use of the “two-oriented society” to build administrative and policy resources in the comprehensive reform pilot area, vigorously implements the intellectual property strategy, and actively explores new mechanisms and models for the transformation of patent technologies. Vigorously promote the use of the park's patents and industrialization work, and build the base into a platform to support the development of independent intellectual property products, industries, and enterprises in the park, and to promote the intellectualization, commercialization, and industrialization of innovation results in Wuhan and even in the central and western regions of China. At the same time, the State Intellectual Property Office will also strengthen its guidance, support, and services for the pilot base.

According to Fan Zhong, deputy secretary of the Dongfeng Corporation Party Committee, Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. has always been a leader in the fields of pure electric vehicles, fuel cells, and hybrid buses. It is the earliest company in China that has conducted research and development and industrialization of electric vehicles. The establishment of the Dongfeng Electric Vehicle Industrial Park pilot base will help Dongfeng Company further enhance its independent innovation capability and accelerate the pace of R&D of new energy vehicles. At the same time, the fact that the national electric vehicle base has settled in Dongfeng will have a profound impact on inspiring Dongfeng's scientific and technical workers to carry forward the spirit of innovation. Dongfeng will use this as an opportunity to vigorously promote the R&D of new energy vehicles while focusing on enhancing the independent innovation capability of traditional automobiles, aiming for leadership, focusing on autonomy, integrating resources, accelerating technological reserves, and striving to control key technologies and key resources for industrialization. Live new opportunities, rapid industrialization, and seize new markets in order to achieve Dongfeng's goal of "three strides, one harmonious."

New Energy Vehicle Industrialization Speeds Up

In the past two years, the pace of China’s new energy for automobiles has been accelerating, but as early as the “Ninth Five-Year Plan” period, Dongfeng Company had already started the research and trial production of electric vehicle and automobile hybrid power technology before the domestic brother enterprises, and established the Dongfeng Electric Vehicle Industrial Park. A lot of electric vehicle development work has been carried out, forming the talents and technological advantages of the development of electric vehicles as well as the research and development and industrialization basis of all kinds of electric vehicles such as pure electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles and fuel cells.

While continuously improving the energy conservation and environmental protection effects of traditional energy vehicles, Dongfeng has actively developed the new energy vehicle types included in the “National Automobile Industry Adjustment and Revitalization Plan”, and also combines the unique national conditions of China with abundant natural resources such as biological and natural gas. The use of energy sources such as fuel and natural gas made in-depth research to develop corresponding automotive products.

Xu Ping, General Manager of the Dongfeng Company and Party Secretary, made it clear that vigorously developing new energy vehicles is the development trend of the automotive industry, and is also the only way for Dongfeng Company to implement the sustainable development strategy. Dongfeng should regard the development of new energy vehicles as the primary task of the development strategy for the east wind. One, to seize the commanding heights of technology and market share.

At present, Dongfeng has been at the forefront of research and development in the field of new energy vehicles. Its products have covered passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, city buses and other full-line models, especially in pure electric and hybrid power.

In terms of pure electric vehicles, Dongfeng researchers tracked the development direction of international electric vehicle technology and cooperated extensively with internationally renowned companies such as GM, Ford, Nissan, Yamaha and PSA Peugeot Citroen as well as Harvard University and Macheng Polytechnic Institute. "Recording" includes China's first fuel cell bus with independent intellectual property rights, the first pure electric concept car, and the first pure electric bus.

In terms of hybrid power, as early as November 2003, the Dongfeng Hybrid Powertrain had already left the laboratory and became a daily transportation vehicle for Wuhan citizens. At the end of 2008, the “Dongfeng Hybrid Electric Power City Bus Development” project won the first prize of the China Automotive Industry Science and Technology Progress Award.

During the Beijing Olympic and Paralympic Games, which attracted worldwide attention, Dongfeng invested more than 500 Dongfeng pure electric venues and Dongfeng hybrid buses, successfully completing the Beijing Olympics and Paralympic Games. At this year's Shanghai International Auto Show, Dongfeng has also launched a new Dongfeng Fengshen S30-BSG hybrid sedan. In addition, Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. also established Dongfeng Nanchong Automobile Co., Ltd., a clean energy automobile and natural gas engine production base in Nanchong, Sichuan. Last year, the company sold more than 20,000 vehicles.

The deadline for the newly-founded pilot base of the Dongfeng Electric Vehicle Industrial Park is three years. The pilot work will focus on the industrialization of patented technologies in accordance with the requirements of the State Intellectual Property Office, and establish Dongfeng’s intellectual property management system through independent innovation and technology introduction. To develop cooperatively, carry out research in the field of new energy automotive technologies, upgrade and tap core technologies, and form independent intellectual property rights. With pure electric vehicle motor controllers, intelligent charging systems, hybrid vehicle controllers, hybrid buses and passenger vehicle vehicles as targets, the successful patented technologies will be industrialized and the intellectual property of the automotive industry will be fully promoted. Development, improve the auto industry's innovation and comprehensive competitiveness, and promote the development of the automotive industry by leaps and bounds.
