- Guangxi Auto Group Expands Into NEV Thermal Management Systems
On December 29, Guangxi Automobile Group Co., Ltd. announced the inauguration of Liuzhou Zhuochuang Automotive Thermal Management System Co., Ltd., marking a strategic expansion into NEV thermal management systems. The move broadens the group’s scope beyond compressors and aligns its manufacturing capabilities with the fast-growing new energy vehicle ecosystem. This step reflects a deliberate push toward higher-value electrification components as NEV adoption accelerates.
NEV Thermal Management Systems Drive Product Expansion
The newly launched subsidiary extends Guangxi Auto Group’s expertise from traditional air-conditioning compressors to integrated NEV thermal management systems. These systems are critical for managing battery, motor, and power electronics temperatures, directly impacting efficiency, durability, and vehicle range. The expansion mirrors rising demand for advanced thermal solutions in electric and hybrid vehicles.
Advanced Manufacturing and Testing Capabilities
Liuzhou Zhuochuang has established a comprehensive production and validation framework designed to support large-scale manufacturing. The facility integrates inspection and testing equipment for compressors, fully automated machining lines for die-cast components, and highly automated assembly lines for die-cast parts, enabling high consistency and precision.
Key capabilities include:
These assets strengthen the company’s readiness to support NEV thermal management systems with scalable, high-precision manufacturing, positioning it to serve both internal demand and external OEM requirements.
Transition From Joint Venture to Dedicated Subsidiary
Liuzhou Zhuochuang was previously known as Guangxi Guangyu New Energy Automobile Air Conditioning Compressor Co., Ltd. The entity began operations on February 28, 2018, as a 50:50 joint venture between Guangxi Auto Group and Shanghai Guangyu Automobile Air Conditioning Compressor Co., Ltd., with a registered capital of CNY 191 million.
The transition to a dedicated subsidiary underscores Guangxi Auto Group’s long-term commitment to NEV thermal management systems, enhancing organizational focus and responsiveness to evolving electrification requirements and future mobility trends.
