SMM News: perhaps to see the success of Ruipu Energy in the new energy vehicle market, Castle Peak Industry once again made a huge investment in the layout of lithium battery industry. But what makes the editor wonder is, with Ruipu Energy, why does Aoyama Industry have to invest in a lithium battery company?
On November 21, Qingshan Industry and the people's Government of Jiashan County signed a contract for the Lanjun 16GWh lithium battery project. The main body of the project is Shanghai Lanjun New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., and the 16GWh lithium battery project is expected to start construction by the end of this year.
Data show that Shanghai Lanjun New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. is a subsidiary of Qingshan Industry, the company plans to invest in Jiashan Economic and technological Development Zone to build a new annual production of 16GWh lithium-ion battery cell and module R & D, production and sales base, while setting up Lanjun New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. China regional headquarters and lithium-ion battery research institute, with a total investment of 5.5 billion yuan.
It is worth noting that this is not the first time that Aoyama has invested in a lithium battery company. The company has invested in Ruipu Energy as early as 2017 to enter the field of new energy vehicles. At present, Ruipu Energy has built Wenzhou manufacturing base and Shanghai R & D center two major bases, the existing power / storage battery capacity 6GWh. In addition, the second phase of the 8GWh project of Ruipu Energy Base in Wenzhou has also begun construction and is expected to reach production by the second half of 2021.
According to the data from the Power Battery Application Branch, in July this year, the installed capacity of Ruipu Energy Power Battery reached 103.81MWH, an increase of 31 times compared with the same period last year, ranking sixth in the Chinese market, following the top companies such as Ningde Times, LG Chemical, BYD, Guoxuan Hi-Tech and AVIC Lithium Power.
It is worth mentioning that the installed capacity of Ruipu Energy this year is mainly contributed by new energy passenger cars. In terms of passenger car customers, in 2019, the company successfully opened up customers such as Changan Auchan, Yundu New Energy, Dongfeng Automobile and so on. In 2020, the company relied on the advantages of performance and cost performance of its products, and successfully entered the supply chain of new energy vehicles or car-building new energy vehicles such as SAIC GM Wuling and Weima Automobile, driving its power battery installation to rise in a straight line.
As the first lithium power company invested by Aoyama Industry, Ruipu Energy has a strong momentum of development, at this time Qingshan Industry suddenly announced the construction of a second lithium battery company, which is really a bit of a surprise. I do not know whether it is optimistic about the new energy vehicles and energy storage market, and plans to make more efforts, or will the Lanjun project lock in the consumer and small power market in the future? We will also continue to follow.
