Jiulongpo motorcycle production base ranks first in the country

As the capital of motorcycles, Chongqing has formed a relatively complete industrial chain, with an annual output of 10 million complete vehicles and 20 million The comprehensive production capacity of the engine. In 2018, the motorcycle output was 3.891 million units, ranking first among domestic provinces and cities in production, sales and export volume, with an output value of 84.6 billion yuan, accounting for 4.2% of the city's designated industrial sector, providing important support for the healthy and stable development of the city's industrial economy.

The current development status of the motorcycle industry in Chongqing and Jiulongpo District. Chongqing’s motorcycle industry started in the late 1970s. Jialing Machinery Factory, Jianshe Machine Tool Factory, etc. were the first to convert civilian products to Type 50 motorcycles and occupy a certain market share. . In recent years, the city has taken a series of measures to promote the acceleration of transformation and upgrading of motorcycle companies, and has cultivated leading companies such as Loncin General, Zongshen Group, Lifan Industrial, and Yinxiang Motorcycle, and their superior products are well-known at home and abroad. As of now, the city has 36 motorcycle complete vehicle companies and more than 450 regulated parts and components companies, with complete supporting capabilities for major assemblies such as engines, clutches, frames, and shock absorbers.

Relying on industrial clusters such as Jiulong Park and Xipeng Park, Jiulongpo has built a characteristic motorcycle industry cluster. It has achieved remarkable results in technological transformation and innovation, and its international cooperation has gradually deepened. It owns Loncin General Motors, Jianshe Yamaha, and Xinyuan Motorcycle There are 7 complete motorcycle companies, including Huanghe Motorcycle, and more than 60 parts and components companies that meet designated standards. Their annual output value accounts for more than 12% of the industry's share of designated companies. Among them, Xinyuan Motorcycle launches large-displacement products for developed regions such as Europe; Loncin General Motors has established strategic partnerships with internationally renowned car companies such as BMW and MV Augusta to develop high-end products; three digital projects including Saiyi Plastics have been established workshops, three smart factories including Dicastal Jieli, one national-level corporate technology center for Loncin General, six municipal-level corporate technology centers including Xinyuan Motorcycle, and one technological innovation demonstration enterprise for Loncin Engine.

Facing the severe situation of development, high-end large-displacement vehicles have become a new trend. Chongqing motorcycle companies have long relied on the market strategy of small profits but quick turnover to win a certain share, or they have targeted overseas markets and made profits through exports. In the process of one-sided pursuit of scale and short-term returns, it failed to focus on the development frontier and make forward-looking plans in terms of technology research and development, product innovation, etc., resulting in misalignment of product supply and demand and missed opportunities for industrial development. From the demand side, motorcycle consumption shows a new trend of high-end, entertainment, and personalized development. In particular, the demand for large-displacement motorcycles with leisure and entertainment functions is growing rapidly. In 2018, my country’s motorcycles with a displacement of more than 800cc Car imports bucked the trend and increased by 57%. From the supply side, there are still a large number of motorcycle companies, especially supporting companies, that have not responded actively to the upgrading of demand, leading to a continuous decline in the city's motorcycle market share in the past 10 years. The city's motorcycle output accounted for one-half of the country's total in the 1980s and stabilized at one-third in the 1990s, but it has remained at one-tenth since the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan".
