Hailing district in Taizhou, Jiangsu province, is upgrading its automotive and motorcycle parts industry, with a focus on electrification, lighter components and smart technologies, as it seeks to strengthen its position as a national hub for vehicle components.
District leaders recently toured several key manufacturers, including Feima Parts and Keeway, where they reviewed production processes, market positioning and expansion plans. The visits underscored a strategic priority: moving beyond the manufacture of standard parts toward higher-value, precision-engineered components for next-generation vehicles.
The district aims to leverage established strengths in precision crankshafts and power transmission systems while pushing the entire supply chain upmarket. Leading enterprises are expected to drive coordination among upstream and downstream partners, creating an industrial ecosystem with both major anchors and a dense network of specialized suppliers.
Policy support is being directed toward innovation clusters and deeper university-industry partnerships, with the goal of cultivating more national champions and niche specialists. Traditional parts makers are encouraged to retool for electric and intelligent vehicle applications, increasing the density and technological sophistication of local supply chains.
Officials describe the sector as foundational to Hailing's manufacturing identity. By implementing targeted support policies and continuously improving the business environment, the district hopes to transform its auto parts heritage into a competitive advantage within the Yangtze River Delta advanced manufacturing corridor.
