Automobile industry is an important pillar industry of national economy, a capital-intensive, technology-intensive and labour-intensive modern industry, with its long industry chain, high degree of relevance and wide coverage, playing an important role in the development of national economy and society. The 20th Tianjin Industrial Expo will be held on 6-9 March 2024 at the National Convention and Exhibition Center (Tianjin), Tianjin Industrial Expo focuses on the development dynamics in the field of automobile manufacturing, and makes great efforts to build a high-end trade and exchange platform.

Borrowing the industrial wind, automobile manufacturing to the ‘new’, at this stage, China's passenger car market has entered a negative growth and inventory market competition, while the new energy vehicles to maintain a positive and stable growth, penetration rate continues to increase, in this context, the efficient completion of the transformation and upgrading of digital intelligence is to meet the stock market transformation of a powerful initiative. In addition, with the emergence of the concept of consumer upgrading, a new car ecosystem needs to be built, to adapt to the transformation of consumers from the desire to own a car to the whole chain of travel ecological service experience, the automotive industry can only be through the transformation of digital intelligence to carry out the full-dimensional construction of the bottom. As the largest and most complex product in the field of people's livelihood, the attributes of its industry and products have evolved into a ‘carrier and traction force’ for technological change and technological convergence, and the automobile will definitely become a testing ground for the future development of technological convergence.

Automobile manufacturing is the manufacture and assembly of thousands of parts, which is the perfect integration and comprehensive manifestation of many properties. The main automotive systems include ‘body-in-white, open and closed parts, interior and exterior trim, chassis, electrical appliances (HMI system), electric power system, engine power system, vehicle control system, automatic driving system’ and so on. The body-in-white and open/closed parts refer to the frame and closed system, which are generally welded by stamping sheet metal; the interior and exterior decoration include front and rear bumpers, door system, cockpit upholstery, seats, etc.; the chassis includes the suspension system, front and rear suspension system, wheel system, steering system, braking system, and vehicle tooling system; the electrical appliances include the lamps and lanterns, air-conditioning, wiring harnesses, human-machine interaction system, and combination switches, etc.; the electric power system is mainly the three power systems, including batteries, motors, and electric power system, which includes batteries, motors, and electric power system. system, including batteries, motors and electronic control; engine system refers to the engine, transmission system, transmission system, intake and exhaust system, etc.; the vehicle control system is mainly the vehicle controller; the automatic driving system includes the automatic driving controller, camera, radar and so on. It requires processing equipment, including additive manufacturing, including stamping, welding, integrated die-casting, as well as painting and general assembly. Automobile manufacturing industry is one of the important pillar industries in Tianjin, under the goal of ‘double carbon’, the focus of carbon neutrality in the automobile industry will be transitioned from the fuel cycle to the whole life cycle of the vehicle, in addition to focusing on their own carbon neutrality, increasingly concerned about the upstream and downstream industrial chain supply chain of carbon reduction targets, in particular, the carbon reduction of the materials, parts and components of the carbon reduction system management. New requirements have been put forward for the development of processing equipment.

The 21st Tianjin Industrial Fair, help automobile manufacturing transformation breakthrough, ‘chain’ on the force, Tianjin has formed a complete industrial chain from vehicle manufacturing, core components, new energy and intelligent network, industrial services to scientific research talent. Vehicle production capacity of 1.45 million; parts and components enterprises more than 1,000, the output value of the city's automotive industry accounted for 50%. As the main carrier of Tianjin automobile industry, Tianjin Jingkai District is the first batch of national demonstration bases for new industrialisation of automobile industry and the core area of national automobile and parts export base. At present, a complete industrial chain has been formed in the Economic Development Zone with 4 leading companies such as FAW Toyota, FAW-Volkswagen, Great Wall Motor and Geely Automobile, supported by more than 200 various types of parts and components enterprises, and the cumulative output of vehicles exceeds more than 12.7 million vehicles.2023 In the first half of the year, the automobile industry in Tianjin Economic Development Zone achieved an output of 378,000 vehicles.
