Jiading Waigang accelerates the promotion of industrial transformation and upgrading, leveraging the role of "chain leaders" to promote industrial agglomeration
At 100 Yinlong Road, Jiading District, on a plot of land enclosed by Jiasong North Road, Hengxie Road, Yinlong Road, and Hengyu Road, a "new car" project has been basically completed and is expected to be put into use by the end of October this year. This project is the Electric Mobility Innovation Center of Bondi Automotive Systems Co., Ltd., with a total investment of 48 million yuan, including two exhibition halls, three R&D comprehensive office areas, one R&D workshop, and related supporting facilities.

Bondi Automotive Systems Co., Ltd. was established in 2004 and is a supplier of fluid storage and transmission systems for automotive braking, fuel, and air conditioning systems. With the increasing demand for thermal management products for new energy vehicles, Bondi Motors has established five electric transportation innovation centers worldwide, one of which is located in Waigang Town.
Bondi Automobile is the "chain owner" enterprise in the automotive industry chain of Waigang Town, Jiading District. The relevant person in charge of Waigang Town told reporters that Bondi Automobile will also establish an Asia Pacific R&D headquarters in the future, further expanding into the field of "new cars". "In the industrial chain, 'chain owners' enterprises have cohesion and appeal. The transformation and upgrading of' chain owners' enterprises can often drive the upgrading of other enterprises on the chain and even the entire industrial chain. After the electric transportation innovation center of Bondi Automobile is put into use, it will effectively drive the transformation of upstream and downstream enterprises such as supporting devices and controller components, and the entire industrial chain will jointly move towards the direction of 'new four modernizations'."

Located in the northwest of Shanghai, Waigang Town is adjacent to Kunshan and Taicang. It not only has vast farmland and beautiful countryside, but also is an important town for the automotive supporting industry, with a large number of automotive parts manufacturing enterprises rooted in Waigang. The transformation and upgrading of Bondi Automobile is also a microcosm of the development of the automotive industry in Waigang Town. In recent years, Waigang Town has promoted industrial transformation by creating a "one south, one north" industrial layout.
To the south, Waigang Town focuses on the development and construction of the new energy port for automobiles, promoting differentiated development of "park in park" such as Liandong U-Valley, Lianxin Zhichuang, and Jindiwei Xinjiading Zhizao Park. Currently, the new energy port for automobiles is a municipal characteristic industrial park. Among them, the two headquarters complex projects of Liandong U Valley and Jindiwei Xinjiading Intelligent Manufacturing Park mainly introduce new energy vehicle research and development projects, while also attracting headquarters enterprises in automotive testing, services, and other areas to settle in.

Last year, Shanghai Jiyu Technology Co., Ltd. settled in the Jindiwei Xinjiading Intelligent Manufacturing Park of Xinergang Automobile, focusing on the research and development of a universal wire controlled chassis for autonomous driving. "We encountered difficulties during the process of relocating our industrial and commercial registration, which even affected our business operations and sales at that time. After learning about this, park personnel actively contacted relevant departments to help us solve the problem smoothly, giving us the confidence and motivation to seek development rooted here." said Luo Yongchang, General Manager of Shanghai Jiyu Science and Technology Co., Ltd.
To the north, Waigang Town focuses on promoting the transformation and upgrading of Waigang Industrial Park, leveraging the role of leading enterprises such as Baicheng, Tianyong, Fareo, and Redie to create a high-quality park with the new energy vehicle industry as its characteristic.
In addition, in order to gather enterprises in the field of automotive electronics, Waigang has also established a professional incubation platform - Tongqing Xinyuan Incubator. "We rely on research and development testing centers and incubation funds to provide testing services, policy consultation, and direct financing for small and medium-sized technology enterprises and technology achievement transformation projects in the start-up and growth stages," said Zhang Pengcheng, Chairman of Tongqing Xinyuan Incubator.

The reporter learned that since last year, Waigang Town has eliminated 15 disadvantaged enterprises and freed up nearly 10000 square meters of factory buildings. This year, it will also focus on tracking the progress of 5 inefficient land use projects, revitalizing an area of over 250 acres. At the same time, Waigang Town is making every effort to do a good job in attracting investment. This year, "shop assistants" from multiple economic communities in the town have been sent to Wuhan, Suzhou, Changsha and other places for project inspections. "We hope to promote more promising enterprises and high-quality projects to take root here, injecting new vitality into regional economic development. We will also continuously improve our work mechanism, sort out key links in the industrial chain, and play the role of 'chain leaders' to drive the coordinated development of upstream and downstream enterprises." The relevant person in charge of Waigang Town said.
