As the world focuses on climate change and pursues sustainable development, countries are actively promoting the transformation of their energy structures. The involvement of NEV (New Energy Vehicle) companies in the eVTOL (Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing) sector is emerging as a major trend in the current transportation landscape, highlighting the importance of integrating these two fields. What kind of synergy will emerge when EVs meet the low-altitude economy in the future?
This event, centered around the entire industry chain of NEV & eVTOL electric drive systems, will focus on areas such as "power systems, electric drives, motor control, low-altitude aircraft, and innovative raw materials." It will feature a high-quality opening ceremony, a high-level dinner, an awards ceremony, procurement and supply business matchmaking, a study tour of the new energy industry, and "1+2+3" themed forums.
Here, hosted by SMM and with grand participation from the Loudi Economic and Technological Development Zone,the "2025 SMM (4th) Electric Drive System Conference"will be heldin Loudi, Hunan, from June 20-21, 2025.The theme of this conference is "New Quality Drives, Low-Altitude Takes Off." We extend a special invitation to major companies in the low-altitude sector and the NEV industry chain to join industry leaders in collectively building the 2025 SMM (4th) Electric Drive System Conference into a vital platform for the rapid development of the new energy industry.

Loudi Economic and Technological Development Zoneis located in the northern part of Loudi City's urban area. It was established in 2003 and upgraded to a national-level economic and technological development zone in 2012. The built-up area spans 20.26 square kilometers, encompassing two subdistricts (Lianbin and Dabuqiao) and 28 villages (communities), with a total population of 120,000. It has been recognized as a National High-Tech Industrial Base, a National New Industrialization Industrial Demonstration Base, and one of the first batch of National Industrial Transformation and Upgrading Demonstration Parks.
In 2022, it ranked second among national-level parks and fourth among provincial-level and above parks in Hunan Province's comprehensive "Five Good Parks" ranking. It ranked 77th in the comprehensive development level assessment of national-level economic and technological development zones by the Ministry of Commerce, 18th in the central region, and 2nd in the province. In 2023, it again ranked second among national-level parks in Hunan Province's comprehensive "Five Good Parks" ranking. In 2024, it achieved a total revenue of 183.5 billion yuan from industry, trade, and technology services, up 9.2% YoY, with the total output value of large-scale industries increasing by 2.8% YoY, the added value of large-scale industries growing by 8.6%, fixed asset investment reaching 25.067 billion yuan, up 4.6% YoY, local general public budget revenue at 872 million yuan, up 11.1%, and actual foreign investment utilized throughout the year reaching $78.7 million, up 1,173% YoY.
The zone aims to create a "Materials Valley" in the central region, steadily advancing the construction of five specialized industrial parks, including an electrical steel industrial park and a sheet metal deep processing industrial park. It has formed a "two primary and one specialty" industrial structure of new steel materials, general equipment manufacturing, and automotive parts. The zone has gathered 168 enterprises above designated size, 3 national-level scientific research institutions, 53 provincial-level innovation platforms, 66 specialized and sophisticated "little giant" enterprises, and 117 high-tech enterprises. It has achieved a production scale of 800,000 mt of high-end home appliance panels, 1 million mt of high-strength steel, 2 million mt of automotive panels, and 2 million mt of high-end electrical steel, establishing itself as a production base for mid-to-high-end automotive panels, a smart manufacturing industrial park for hydraulic cylinders, the largest high-strength steel production base in Asia, and the largest electrical steel substrate production base in China. The deep processing industry of sheet metal has been listed as a major industrial and information technology industry in the "14th Five-Year Plan" of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) and one of the top ten "100-billion-yuan industrial clusters" in Hunan Province.
