There are currently more than 1000 SAIC Volkswagen complete vehicle factories, automotive parts and related enterprises in Anting Town, as well as 14 Fortune Global 500 companies in the automotive industry, such as Anbofu, Yanfeng, ZF, Keshida, and Casma. A relatively complete automotive industry chain has been formed, and the automotive industry accounts for about 85% of the total industry in the town. However, Anting also faces issues such as a relatively single industrial structure, weak support for new energy, and limited space for industrial development. Seeking space and energy levels from the metaverse can help traditional car manufacturers achieve transformation through an elephant turn.
Yan Jianming, Secretary of the Party Committee of Anting Town, stated that in the face of the wave of "new four modernizations" in the development of automobiles, Anting has focused on deep cultivation in the fields of new energy intelligent connected vehicles, hydrogen energy, and fuel cells. Enterprises and parks such as SAIC Volkswagen MEB factory and Jiading Hydrogen Energy Port are flourishing. "Against the backdrop of the country's vigorous development of the digital economy, digitalization is an important direction for the development of the automotive industry. The metaverse is an immersive and interconnected space that integrates digital space and the physical world, and is an advanced form of integration between the digital economy and the real economy. The automotive and metaverse have great potential in the future."
Specifically, the automotive metaverse industry aims to build an industrial metaverse and empower the automotive manufacturing industry. By building application scenarios, it transforms the key areas, processes, and links of the automotive industry into metaverse. For example, in key stages of automobile manufacturing, a universal model database for industrial metaverse can be built to create high-precision industrial virtual spaces. New models for production line operation and product monitoring based on metaverse can also be explored. In addition, the automotive consumption field can also promote various immersive and interactive consumption and service scenarios.

To support the automotive metaverse industry, Anting Town has opened up a new industrial space, and a automotive metaverse industry base called Yuanchuang Bay is about to be put into operation. The base is located in the Huantongji area of Anting Town, Jiading District, adjacent to the Jiading Campus of Tongji University and Huangdu Residence. The planned land area is 47 acres, with a building area of approximately 30000 square meters. The base will leverage virtual engine technology, virtual simulation technology, and artificial intelligence to create entities such as the Metaverse Research Institute, Metaverse Virtual Production Studio, and Automotive Software Empowerment Center. At present, projects such as digital human production, AI detection software development, automotive talent incubation MCN institutions, and automotive metaverse sales have settled in the park.
