Henan Province has unveiled a new action plan aimed at strengthening its automotive aftermarket and driving full-chain vehicle consumption.
The plan, jointly issued by 19 departments including the Henan Provincial Department of Commerce, calls for enhancing technological research and development capabilities in auto parts.
It emphasizes coordinated efforts to reinforce core auto parts supply chains, advance intelligent connected and fuel cell vehicle demonstration projects, and build science and technology innovation platforms.
The province aims to consolidate and elevate its advantages in components such as steering gears, shock absorbers, transmission shafts, water pumps, cylinder liners, and power batteries.
Leveraging its first-mover advantage in intelligent connected buses, Henan will accelerate the application of key technologies including onboard perception, control decision-making, and information security.
The plan also calls for continued promotion of fuel cell vehicle demonstration applications, support for leading hydrogen refueling equipment and sensor enterprises, and accelerated release of corporate production capacity.
Major science and technology projects, such as the research and application of key technologies for intelligent electric chassis of commercial vehicles, will be implemented at a faster pace to drive industrial application of research outcomes.
A number of pilot testing bases focusing on new power and energy storage battery materials, vehicle damping systems, and other directions will be established to enhance the level of industrial self-reliance and controllability.
Efforts will also be intensified to expand into international markets, gradually shifting product exports toward higher value-added links in the value chain such as brand and technology output.
