Southeast Asia Information Port News (www.dnyxxg.com) – Inside the production workshop of Guangxi Ningfu New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. in Nanning's Eastern New City, production lines are running at full speed, with robotic arms working in precise coordination. Here, over 100,000 batteries roll off the production line daily, destined for the global market.
The Guangxi Ningfu New Energy project is the largest off-site investment project to date for Do-Fluoride New Materials Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Do-Fluoride"). Recently, building upon its existing 20GWh lithium battery project, a fluorine-core battery full-industry chain project with a total investment of 15 billion yuan (RMB, same below) and an additional 100GWh of capacity was signed and launched, injecting a new round of strong momentum into Nanning's new energy industry.
In recent years, Nanning City has heavily invested in the new energy industry, pushing the city's planned battery production capacity to exceed 200GWh, with actual production capacity exceeding 100GWh. Its overall production capacity ranks among the top in China, making it a globally important new energy battery industry cluster.
Wang Chuanfu, Chairman and President of BYD Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "BYD"), stated that BYD is optimistic about Nanning and will continue to invest in the city, striving to establish more industrial and high-quality projects to drive the development of upstream and downstream industries.
Currently, BYD has already invested in six projects in Nanning, with a total capacity of 80 GWh for energy storage systems and power batteries.
Nanning is developing the new energy industry as a key industry worth hundreds of billions of yuan. Through policy guidance, "chain-based investment attraction," promoting the establishment of leading chain enterprises, and accelerating the establishment of clusters, it is building a new energy industry ecosystem integrating capital, technology, industry, talent, and application scenarios.
"We fully leverage the leading role of state-owned capital in investment attraction, relying on a fund of nearly 100 billion yuan, focusing on strategic emerging industries such as new energy vehicles and aluminum deep processing, continuously 'supplementing, strengthening, and expanding the chain,' successfully launching landmark projects such as BYD and Do-Fluoride Chemicals, and gradually building an industrial ecosystem with leading chain enterprises at its core and upstream and downstream collaborative development, allowing the 'chain-like cluster' to activate the 'butterfly transformation effect' of the industry," said Huang Qinian, Chairman of Nanning Industrial Investment Group Co., Ltd.
Building upon this foundation, Nanning Industrial Investment Group has strategically introduced a number of high-tech enterprises in the new energy industry, including Chenyu Fuji, Longdian Huaxin, Yingbolai, and Jushi New Energy, focusing on key enterprises in the supply chain. This aims to expand the new energy industry chain. The group has also established an aluminum-based new materials group, investing in landmark projects such as a 200,000-ton new energy battery aluminum foil technology upgrade project, a 20GWh annual aluminum-based new materials carbon coating project, and a 100,000-ton annual high-precision battery aluminum foil project, propelling the city's new energy battery industry to achieve a leap in development.
"Introducing one brings a string of others, radiating to a whole region." Since 2022, led by key enterprises such as BYD and Do-Fluoride Chemicals, Nanning has built a complete new energy battery industry chain ecosystem covering key links such as cell manufacturing, positive and negative electrode materials, battery copper foil, battery aluminum foil, battery structural components, battery separators, battery equipment manufacturing, and battery recycling. The battery industry's "circle of friends" continues to expand.
"The new energy battery industry has become the core engine of Nanning's industrial growth, powerfully promoting the optimization and upgrading of the city's industrial structure towards high-end and intelligent directions," said Zhang Li, Director of the Nanning Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology. From January to October this year, the output value of Nanning's new energy battery industry chain reached 53.67 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 30%, contributing 4.3 percentage points to the growth of the city's industrial added value above designated size, accounting for 50% of the city's total industrial added value growth.
As a frontier and hub city for China's opening-up and cooperation with ASEAN, Nanning is striving to build a China-ASEAN cross-border industrial integration and development cooperation zone. Wang Zeshen, Secretary-General of the China Chemical and Physical Power Sources Industry Association, believes that leveraging Nanning's locational advantages to develop the new energy battery industry can help Chinese new energy vehicle companies conveniently "go global," forming a cross-border industrial chain and supply chain of "Guangxi core component manufacturing + ASEAN vehicle assembly + global market."
