In a live broadcast on the afternoon of October 27, when financial writer Wu Xiaobo asked Dong Mingzhu, chairman and president of Gree Electric, whether to provide a chassis for Tesla, he received a positive answer.
Gree Electric said that the company is providing equipment for Tesla parts manufacturing, and said that Zhuhai Gree Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. has provided equipment support to many new energy vehicle parts manufacturers around the world.
Zhuhai Gree Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gree Electric Appliances. Its products include industrial robots, CNC machine tools, precision inverter coolers, intelligent logistics warehousing, servo robots, large-scale automated production lines, steam washing machines, precision all-electric injection molding machines, testing Automation equipment, industrial automation equipment, etc.
In the first half of the year, Gree Electric’s operating income was 95.222 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 4.58%; the net profit attributable to the parent was 11.466 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 21.25%. In the new energy industry, Midea, another white goods giant, has begun to supply compressors for high-voltage platforms for the 800-volt architecture of Xiaopeng G9.
Tao Lin, Tesla’s vice president of external affairs, previously stated that the localization rate of Tesla’s supply chain has exceeded 95%. Judging from the previously exposed Tesla supply chain list, except for the core chips and integrated circuits, almost the entire body is made in China.
At present, the core technology of Tesla’s technical barriers is still many technologies in many fields such as autonomous driving and battery management, as well as technologies in software and automated manufacturing of industrial production lines. For example, integrated die-casting technology can greatly reduce costs. These are the guarantees that Tesla can be at the forefront of the industry.
