The Shenshan BYD Auto Industrial Park is a leading industrial project for the Shenshan Special Cooperation Zone, playing a pivotal role in accelerating efforts to build a core zone of the new-generation world-class automobile city.

BYD has so far spent more than RMB31.5 billion on building the four phases of the Shenshan BYD Auto Industrial Park, which can generate an annual output value of more than RMB220 billion when production capacity is fully utilized. The second phase focusing on NEV manufacturing and core parts production is the top priority.

The Shenshan Special Cooperation Zone has pooled strength and wisdom to prepare the west and east plots for the major industrial project Shenshan Auto City (Xiaomo), and worked hard to translate resource superiority into advantageous conditions for development by sparing 3.21 square kilometers of industrial land for use.

The west plot of the second phase of the Shenshan BYD Auto Industrial Park has gone into double-shift production, with a daily production capacity of 1,300 units. The Yangwang U9 plant, inspection workshop and warehouse of finished vehicles in the east plot of the second phase have been put into operation.

A combined total of more than 210,000 units of vehicles were manufactured from January to November 2024 in the second phase of the Shenshan BYD Auto Industrial Park, where the new supercar model Yangwang U9, the luxury vehicle Yangwang U7 priced at more than RMB1 million, Z9GT and Z9, two D-level intelligent luxury Tengshi models, and BYD Han, a role model for medium- and large-sized vehicles rolled off the assembly line.

Ceremonies to celebrate the nine millionth and the ten millionth NEV rolling off the assembly line in 2024 were both held in the Shenshan BYD Auto Industrial Park.

As construction activities on the east plot gain speed, the second phase of the Shenshan BYD Auto Industrial Park is on track to become a megafactory for NEV manufacturing.

When factory buildings on the east and west plots reach their design capacity, the second phase of the Shenshan BYD Auto Industrial Park will have a production capacity of up to 140JPH (140 jobs per hour).

BYD’s Auto Industrial Park in Shenshan is the Company’s sole manufacturing base to integrate manufacturing and port transportation. After rolling off the assembly line in Shenshan BYD Auto Industrial Park, NEVs can arrive at the Xiaomo International Logistics Port after a five minutes’ drive for domestic and international shipping. The factory and the port can foster a synergy and see well-coordinated development.
