Cixi is one of China's most advanced upstream manufacturing clusters for automotive molds, electric subsystem housings, and small-format electromechanical components. While downstream automotive components such as headlights, exterior plastics, and body motion systems are assembled in Taizhou, Ruian, and Ninghai, Cixi provides the critical upstream tooling, motor shells, and precision molds that make those components possible.

The Yuyao Automotive Plastic Exterior & Structural Parts Industry Belt, located in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, is one of China's most important manufacturing clusters for automotive exterior plastics, structural trim components, and injection-molded assemblies. Positioned between Taizhou's lighting ecosystem and Ninghai's actuator-driven body motion systems, Yuyao forms the structural and aesthetic framework that connects functional components with the vehicle body.
Specialties
Key Advantages
Established: 1995
Ningbo is not a traditional manufacturing cluster, but the engine that transforms China's fragmented automotive production into a unified global export powerhouse. It aggregates products from Cixi (molds and motor subsystems), Yuyao (structural plastics), Taizhou (lighting and exterior assemblies), Ninghai (actuators and body motion systems), and Ruian (electronic logic and switch controls), consolidating them through Ningbo Port for global markets. Ningbo connects China's automotive ecosystem to the world.

The Guangzhou Automotive System Integration & EV Platform Belt, located in the Pearl River Delta region of Guangdong Province, is China's core cluster for complete vehicle system architecture, modular assembly, and new-energy platform development. Unlike the manufacturing-focused industrial belts in East China, Guangzhou operates at the system level — where automotive components are validated, combined, and transformed into vehicle-ready modules.
Specialties
Key Advantages
Established: 1998
Shenzhen is not an automotive parts manufacturing hub, but the intelligent logic node inside vehicles. As the brain of automotive-grade electronic systems, Shenzhen provides HUD, instrument clusters, touchscreen UI interaction, BMS battery management ICs, MCU/ECU control chips, LiDAR/ADAS module integration, and CAN/LIN/Ethernet vehicle communication. Without Shenzhen, Guangzhou's systems would remain merely "mechanical platforms".

Shunde is the source of EV thermal management systems in South China. Specializing in HVAC thermal management and motor drive systems, Shunde provides water pumps, electric compressors, heat exchangers, condensers, seat motors, sunroof motors, and integrated EV thermal management modules. This is why South China's new energy vehicles maintain stable range.

Zhongshan is South China's version of Taizhou, but more focused on front-end vehicle modularization. Specializing in automotive lighting and exterior systems, Zhongshan provides LED headlights, taillights, front-end components, grilles, trim strips, exterior styling parts, injection-molded parts, and intelligent lighting control modules. This is not parts manufacturing — it is the supply source for vehicle visual language.
