Yesterday, at the Yangwang Brand Experience Center in Wuxi, our Group Chairman Mr. Zhang Jianwei attended the delivery ceremony of the Yangwang U8L as a key corporate customer. The vehicle—widely regarded as a symbol of the highest achievement of China’s automotive industry—was personally handed over by Mr. Wang Chuanfu, Chairman and President of BYD.
The delivery ceremony officially took place at 1:00 p.m. at the Wuxi Yangwang Brand Experience Center. BYD founder Mr. Wang Chuanfu was present in person and held an in-depth and constructive discussion with Chairman Zhang Jianwei. The two business leaders exchanged views on key topics including the digital transformation of traditional manufacturing and the global development of Chinese enterprises, engaging in a forward-looking and insightful dialogue.
Mr. Wang Chuanfu noted:
“BYD started its journey in battery manufacturing. Over more than two decades of dedicated effort, we have gained a deep understanding of both the challenges and opportunities facing manufacturing enterprises as they transition from traditional models toward intelligence and globalization. The success of the Yangwang U8L is driven not only by cutting-edge technology and innovation, but also by our sustained investment in intelligent manufacturing and digital R&D systems.”
Chairman Zhang Jianwei responded:
“As an enterprise deeply rooted in the power industry for more than 30 years, we clearly recognize that digital transformation is not a matter of choice, but a matter of survival. Our investment in building an intelligent digital factory is aimed at reshaping productivity and ensuring our products remain highly competitive in the global market. BYD’s leadership in emerging sectors, and our continued leadership in traditional sectors through intelligent upgrading, together reflect the diverse innovative strengths of China’s manufacturing industry.”
As a global leader in medium- and low-voltage power transmission and distribution products, the Group has in recent years vigorously promoted a dual-engine strategy of ‘intelligent manufacturing + green manufacturing’, independently developing and commissioning one of the world’s most advanced intelligent production lines for power steel poles. The selection of the Yangwang U8L as a corporate vehicle represents a strong endorsement of Chinese intelligent manufacturing and Chinese brands, as well as firm confidence in their future.
Chairman Zhang Jianwei concluded:
“This delivery ceremony has been a valuable opportunity for learning and exchange. We will take BYD as a benchmark as we continue to deepen our digital transformation, with globalization and overseas expansion as core strategic priorities, contributing Chinese expertise and strength to the development of global power infrastructure.”
