The automotive industry is one of TEDA’s pillar industry of great strength. The area has already attracted leading vehicle manufacturers such as FAW Toyota, FAW-Volkswagen, Great Wall Motors, and FARZION AUTO, along with over 200 supporting component enterprises, forming a complete industrial chain. In recent years, TEDA has consistently focused on the directions of intelligence and connectivity, driving the continuous improvement of the automotive industry’s "value-added," "intelligence-added," and "green-added" attributes. Recently, major vehicle projects such as Great Wall Motors’ new-generation all-power intelligent super platform and FAW-Volkswagen’s VW316/9CN_B new model project have accelerated implementation, further strengthening TEDA’s automotive industry foundation. In the next phase, TEDA will continue to focus on developing new quality productive forces, promoting the accelerated transformation of the automotive industry toward new energy and intelligent connectivity, and injecting new momentum into the high-quality development of the regional economy.
