China’s production capacities, technological skills, and its exports of electric vehicles in particular are all growing, in keeping with the Chinese government’s strategy of “Made in China 2025”. One aspect of this strategy is to encourage high-tech industries and innovations at a domestic level, improve the quality of Chinese products and expand the presence of its companies on the global market.
This is also evident in the die-casting sector. It is hardly surprising, since the Chinese government has defined lightweight design and vehicles with alternative drive systems and new materials as key themes of this strategy. In the area of mega or giga casting, in particular, China is well ahead of Europe. There is strong demand, and companies are investing in new production facilities, automation and simulation technology.
