It is worth mentioning that the Yangtze River Industrial Park, where the “Grasp the Project to Promote the Investment Competition” was held, is a joint effort between Sanjiang New District and Cuiping District to explore the appropriate separation of the economic zone and the administrative area, and to jointly build and share a good lithium battery industry. The core of Pan Daqi carries the park. In addition to the Sichuan Times Phase 7-8 project and the power battery new town project, the park also includes the Kelida new energy vehicle power battery precision structural parts project, the power battery supporting industry custom factory project, Liding battery parts and automotive sheet metal, Mould supporting projects, etc.
It is understood that the seventh to eighth phases of the Sichuan Times Power Battery Production Base have a total investment of about 12 billion yuan, a planned land area of about 2,105 mu, and a standard workshop of about 1.3 million square meters, supporting production facilities and living areas. After the project is completed and put into production, it is expected to achieve an annual sales value of 35 billion yuan and create more than 15,000 jobs.
