Yanfeng to build largest-ever smart cockpit base in Shanghai’s Lin-gang Special Area

Shanghai (Gasgoo)- Chinese auto parts supplier Yanfeng will build a new smart cockpit base in Shanghai Minhang Economic and Technological Development Zone Lin-gang Park, according to a post on the WeChat account of the management committee of the Lin-gang Special Area.  

The project settlement was decided after Yanfeng successfully obtained the right to use a 97,025.9-square-meter industrial land at the heavy equipment industrial zone in the Lin-gang Special Area and signed a contract with the Shanghai Municipal Planning, Land and Resources Administration on the leasing and transferring of the land use right.

The recent move indicated that the intended cooperation formed last year between Yanfeng and local authority of the Lin-gang Special Area has been essentially firmed up.
