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.
