Ranking first in China in new energy vehicle production, launching the era of passenger 'air taxis,' and witnessing traditional factories 'reverse aging' with soaring efficiency and quality... Today's Anhui is surging with innovation and dynamic momentum. 

Embracing intelligent manufacturing, aerospace, technology, and the future, the vibrant land of Anhui continuously ignites internal momentum, revitalizes its resource endowments, and steadfastly explores a path of development through innovation.

The wave of new energy vehicles is surging, with intelligence not only reflected in the driving experience but also deeply integrated into the manufacturing process. In Anhui, the "Anhui Automobile Forces" are undergoing a remarkable leap from "manufacturing" to "intelligent manufacturing" and then to "quality manufacturing."

Anhui's automobile companies not only have the world's most advanced highly automated and intelligent manufacturing factories but also continuously transform their core technological advantages into industrial competitive advantages.

In 2024, Anhui Province's automotive industry experienced significant growth in scale, accelerated transformation, expanded export reach, and improved quality and efficiency, achieving a production volume of 3.57 million vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 43.3%; the production of new energy vehicles reached 1.684 million units, up by 94.5% year-on-year; and auto exports totaled 1.464 million vehicles, marking a 27.7% increase compared to the previous year. Anhui continues to deepen its presence in international markets, fully supporting automobile companies in "going global," and has expanded its automotive industry network to over 150 countries and regions, with export volume ranking first nationwide. For every four cars exported from China, one is made in Anhui.

What will the future of urban transportation look like? At Hefei Luogang Park, "air taxis" are within reach.

Currently, Hefei has opened more than 200 drone routes for medical delivery, track inspection, and food delivery. The rich scenarios accelerate the gathering of the entire chain, with the city already home to over 300 low-altitude economy enterprises, achieving a full-chain layout of research and development, testing, production, and operations. The blueprint for Hefei's low-altitude economy is gradually unfolding.

In-depth industrial transformation and upgrading is one of the key forms for the development of new quality productive forces. Anhui focuses on key areas, advancing digital and intelligent transformation in a phased manner, promoting the deep integration of digitalization with the real economy, strengthening the construction of professional talent teams, and deeply integrating digitalization with all aspects of business operations of provincial enterprises to empower high-quality development of enterprises.  

Scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation are the fundamental paths for developing new quality productive forces. Anhui adapts to local conditions to develop new quality productive forces and accelerates the construction of a modern industrial system. By promoting the integrated development of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, vigorously advancing new industrialization, expanding and strengthening advanced manufacturing, actively developing modern services, and fostering the accumulation and momentum of new drivers while rejuvenating and upgrading traditional drivers.
