On January 21, the first product—a battery casing—manufactured by Dongfeng Motor’s 16,000T integrated die-casting production line, the largest of its kind in the world, was successfully rolled off and delivered. The delivery of this product marks a key breakthrough for Dongfeng Motor in the lightweight and integrated manufacturing of core components for new energy vehicles, injecting strong momentum into the automotive industry's cultivation of new quality productive forces for future development.

You Zheng, Member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee and Deputy General Manager of Dongfeng Motor Corporation, attended the ceremony. Xia Xiaochuan, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Yuechuang Technology,Gao Shouwu, Deputy General Manager of Yuechuang Technology and General Manager of Dongfeng Technology; Zhan Xin, Vice President and Chairman of the Labor Union of Dongfeng Motor R&D Institute, Ye Xiaoming, Assistant to the President of Dongfeng Motor R&D Institute.and Dongfeng Motor R&D Institute, Dongfeng Technology,Yipai TechnologyRelevant domain leaders and representatives from the integrated die-casting project team attended the ceremony.

At the scene, You Zheng and Xia Xiaochuan jointly unveiled the integrated die-casting battery enclosure. Representatives from Dongfeng Motor R&D Institute, eπ Technology, and Dongfeng Motor Parts & Components signed the product acceptance agreement, marking the official entry of this product into mass production application.

This battery case is the first mass-produced product from Dongfeng Motor's integrated die-casting production line. It was developed by Dongfeng Motor's R&D Institute and Yuechuang Technology through a "complete vehicle and component synergy" innovation mechanism, and completed after 14 months of intensive effort. Compared to traditional production methods, the integrated die-cast battery case significantly enhances the safety of the vehicle's power battery system through highly integrated design. It also achieves vehicle weight reduction, energy consumption reduction, and effectively extends the range of new energy vehicles. With the production of this product, Dongfeng Motor will become the first complete vehicle manufacturer in the industry to achieve an integrated die-casting layout covering the front, middle, and rear of the entire vehicle body.

As a crucial measure in the nation's "15th Five-Year Plan" to promote new industrialization and develop new quality productive forces, high-end equipment and green manufacturing have been placed in a strategic priority position. Integrated die-casting technology, as a key path to lightweighting and integration of new energy vehicles, relies on the deep integration and synergistic innovation of materials, processes, and structural design, effectively enhancing production efficiency and low-carbon levels. Dongfeng Motor, as the first domestic vehicle manufacturer to introduce the world's largest 16,000T integrated die-casting technology, has explored innovative paths in the integrated R&D of complete vehicles and components, as well as in-depth coordination of the industrial chain. In the future, Dongfeng Motor will continue to promote the capacity construction of integrated die-casting battery boxes, body and other key components for multiple models, tackle key technologies for large-scale ultra-thin-walled battery pack shells, and deploy die-casting applications of cutting-edge materials such as magnesium alloys, further improving the lightweighting level of the entire vehicle and seizing the technological high ground in the "second half" of intelligent competition.

You Zheng stated that, looking ahead to the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, the automotive industry is undergoing profound transformations in intelligence, low-carbonization, and integration. Mastering disruptive technologies such as artificial intelligence and integrated die-casting independently has become a crucial path towards high-quality development. It is essential to update understanding with a global perspective, maintain awe of disruptive technologies, and continuously deepen open collaboration across the industrial chain. He hopes that the integrated die-casting R&D team will bravely break through and innovate, inherit the "Third Front Spirit" and Dongfeng's "Lantern Spirit," continuously tackle cutting-edge fields such as materials and processes, truly create value for users through technology, help Dongfeng win the "15th Five-Year Plan," and steadily move towards the forefront of global automotive industry development.
