This year marks the first year of large-scale construction in the Shaoxing Binhai New Area’s Future Auto City district. The Future Auto City team is focusing on two major themes: the construction of high-level platforms and the enhancement of urban functions and quality. The team is putting significant efforts into implementing the city’s planning and initiating construction, striving to push the development of the auto city forward with full force.
The Future Auto City district spans a total area of 8.9 square kilometers. Based on the spatial layout of “two centers, three zones, and four axes,” the district is divided into three major sectors: “Future Auto Business, Future Auto Industry, and Future Auto Lifestyle.” To create a domestic leader and a world-class future auto city, the team, in collaboration with related enterprises, aims to build a citywide future automotive consumer experience center, a provincial benchmark for automotive industry innovation and development, and a national model for modern service industry transformation. This strategy emphasizes the deep integration of industry, city, and people.
The fields of new energy vehicles (NEVs) and intelligent connected vehicles are key drivers of high-quality economic development. Facing the trends of electrification, connectivity, intelligence, and sharing in the automotive sector, the Future Auto City is actively promoting local upgrades, breaking traditional models, introducing new industries and business forms, and facilitating high-quality transformation. From January to September this year, the district attracted six new automotive brands, including Xiaomi, Ledo, Chery Exeed, Dongfeng Yipai, Dongfeng Xinghai, and Icar.
Currently, the Future Auto City Reception and Exhibition Center, located on Kangning Road in Doumen Street, has officially opened. Many business visitors choose it as their first stop to explore the auto city. The exhibition center spans 1,000 square meters and features four main sections: a popular science exhibition, industry displays, future planning showcases, and more. It profoundly interprets the new mission of the Future Auto City, marking its rebirth and new beginning, and highlights its grand vision as both an industrial engine and a regional development catalyst.
The Baidu Smart Cloud Future Intelligent Driving Experience Center, with a total investment of 500 million RMB, is the pilot project for the Future Auto City and is currently under construction. This project will include six demonstration centers focusing on artificial intelligence (AI), connected industries, intelligent transportation, smart vehicles, smart experiences, and industry-education integration. It will feature AI virtual digital humans, intelligent connected vehicles, Baidu robots, and other smart devices. The Future Auto City has partnered with Baidu Apollo to build the “Future Auto City Brain” and create a smart driving platform for vehicle-road collaboration. Within the core area of 1 square kilometer in the “Future Auto City,” this will be the province’s first commercial application scenario for autonomous driving.
In addition, by September this year, workers have already entered the construction sites for the Auto Culture Park, the Auto City facade upgrade project, and the Auto City waterfront environment enhancement project. The Auto City facade upgrade project will focus on improving entry nodes at the intersection of Zhongxing Avenue and Kangning Road, including signage, landscape greening, sculptures, lighting, and other improvements to enhance the overall image of the Auto City.
Looking ahead, the Future Auto City will further boost confidence in development, fully activate the district’s potential for self-renovation and upgrades, and create more space for innovation in automotive trade and circulation. The city will stimulate market potential, explore innovations in automotive consumption models, and support the integration of “automotive business + cultural tourism” sectors. It will develop integrated automotive consumption platforms like an automotive expo center and an auto culture park, establishing new automotive consumption scenarios that provide a one-stop experience for residents’ diverse needs in automotive consumption, and elevate the cultural and consumption experience in the district.
今年是绍兴滨海新区未来车城片区启动大规模建设的首年，未来车城专班紧紧围绕高能级平台建设、城市功能品质提升两大工作主题，重抓规划落地，重抓开工建设，全力以赴推进车城建设。
未来车城片区规划总面积8.9平方公里，依据“两心、三区、四轴”的空间布局，划分为“未来车商贸、未来车产业、未来车生活”三大区块。为打造国内领先、世界一流的未来车城，专班与相关企业将全力打造全市未来汽车消费体验中心、全省汽车产业创新发展标杆、全国现代服务业腾笼换鸟样板，体现产、城、人深度融合的发展策略。
新能源汽车和智能网联汽车领域，是经济高质量发展的新动能，面对汽车电动化、网联化、智能化、共享化的趋势，未来车城积极推动就地改造升级，打破传统模式，引入新产业、新业态，促进高质量转型。今年1至9月，片区内新引进小米、乐道、奇瑞星途、东风奕派、东风星海、icar6家汽车品牌。
眼下，位于斗门街道康宁路的未来车城接待展示中心已正式投入使用，不少客商来车城参观考察第一站便选择这里。该展示中心布展面积达1000平方米，精心布局四大篇章，包括科普博览、产业展示、未来规划展示等内容，深刻诠释未来车城凤凰涅槃、焕新启航的时代重任，及其作为产业引擎与区域发展催化剂的宏伟愿景。
总投资5亿元的百度智能云未来智驾体验中心是未来车城的先导项目，眼下正在紧张建设。该项目包括人工智能网联、泛人工智能产业、智能交通、智能汽车、智慧体验、产教融合6个展示中心，将引入AI虚拟数字人、智能网联汽车、百度机器人等智能设备。未来车城与百度阿波罗合作，计划打造“未来车城大脑”，建设车路协同的智慧驾驶平台，在“未来车城”核心区1平方公里内实现全省首个无人驾驶商业化应用场景。
此外，截至今年9月，汽车文化公园、汽车城风貌提升改造工程、汽车城滨水环境提升工程施工方工人均已进场施工。其中汽车城风貌提升改造工程，将对中兴大道与康宁路交会口入户节点进行门斗标识、景观绿化、雕塑小品、照明设施等提升改造，进一步提升汽车城整体形象品质。
下一步，未来车城将进一步提振开发信心，全面激发片区自主改造提档升级的动力，为汽车商贸流通创新发展拓展空间。车城将进一步激发市场潜力，深入探索汽车消费模式创新，支持“汽车商业+文旅”业态融合，打造汽车博览中心、汽车文化公园等文商旅融合汽车消费载体，构建新型汽车消费场景，一站式满足居民体验式、社群式、参与式汽车消费需求，重塑片区文化，完成文化消费体验升级。
