Gasgoo Munich- Backed by comprehensive data from Gasgoo, Anhui's auto industry cluster has established a "dual-core" structure. Vehicle production capacity is expanding rapidly, and the supply chain is moving toward vertical integration, solidifying the province's status as a key region for China's new energy vehicle industry. Local automakers and parts suppliers are developing in tandem, creating a relatively complete industrial ecosystem.
In terms of spatial layout, Hefei acts as the core region with over 2,000 suppliers, covering power batteries, smart cockpits, automotive electronics, and key components. Representative players include Gotion High-tech and iFlytek, underpinning a robust supporting system. Meanwhile, NIO and BYD have anchored production bases here, fostering a pattern where vehicle manufacturing and core parts development evolve together. Wuhu follows closely with a supplier count between 1,001 and 1,500. Leveraging Chery's industrial foundation, it has built a controllable supply chain by linking with parts firms like Bethel and Faurecia. Peripheral cities such as Chuzhou, Xuancheng, and Anqing host 301 to 1,000 suppliers each, providing essential support to the dual-core region.
On the capacity front, plans indicate Anhui's total vehicle production will approach 5 million units by 2026. Chery accounts for roughly 1.74 million units of that planned capacity, while BYD represents about 1.32 million. JAC, NIO, Changan, and others form a multi-tiered production structure, rounding out the overall layout. This expansion in vehicle capacity provides a stable demand base for the local parts ecosystem and the coordinated development of the supply chain.
In terms of products and technology, Anhui's industrial layout spans smart cockpits, power batteries, automotive electronics, and process components, with a supporting system that is steadily maturing. For smart cockpits, companies like ATECH and iFlytek provide system solutions. In the power battery sector, FinDreams Battery and CALB have established a solid scale foundation. In automotive electronics, Bethel, Changhui, and SHB are involved in vehicle assembly support. Meanwhile, in the process components sector, Zhongding and RAYHOO offer critical parts support to automakers.
Looking ahead, Anhui is leveraging the synergy between its vehicle production capacity and local supply chain to accelerate the industry's upgrade from manufacturing prowess to technological capability. With the continued rollout of new energy vehicles and intelligent connectivity technologies, the region is poised to maintain its strategic position in China's auto sector. It is set to play an increasingly pivotal leading role in core parts R&D, system integration, and elevating the value of the industrial chain.
