If an electric vehicle is compared to a human body, then the battery pack is the "heart" of an electric vehicle. Youli Electric Drive System Co., Ltd. is a company focusing on the design of new energy power batteries. Recently, Youli Electric Drive officially settled in Sany Zhongchuang. Although the company is new to the city, it occupies the "*5655 pier" here.

Focus on "people-friendly" electric vehicle battery design

With the increase of national subsidies for new energy vehicles, the electric vehicle market, including shared cars and logistics vehicles, has begun to expand in China. In the new energy vehicle industry, 80% of the technical difficulties are concentrated in battery power. The battery life is short, the climbing ability is not strong, the price is too high, and the charging speed is not fast...... In response to the pain points of this industry, Youli Electric Drive has found its own positioning from the beginning. "We focus on the design of small and medium-power battery packs, focusing on the people-friendly route." Wang Shuobo, general manager of Youli Electric Drive, said that it is their goal to strive to improve the charging speed and cycle life of the battery, and to produce a safe and pollution-free small and medium-power battery pack.

"We have mature power system suppliers in Hunan, and we also have our own channels for sales, so we are not worried." From the very beginning, Wang Shuobo was confident in the prospects of the industry in which he was involved. He said with a smile that Youli Electric Drive has signed strategic cooperation agreements with many of the world's top power system suppliers, just to strive for excellence in technology.

From the traditional manufacturing industry to the new energy industry

How does a company founded in 2015 manage to cooperate with many of the world's top suppliers and have strong sales channels?" In fact, we were faced with a major transformation. Wang Shuobo introduced that the company was engaged in the automobile and motorcycle parts manufacturing industry. When dealing with car manufacturers, Wang Shuobo found that in recent years, the use of gasoline vehicles has been declining, while the use of trams has risen or even surpassed that of gasoline vehicles.

"That's when I knew my chance had come!" When he said this, Wang Shuobo's eyes seemed to glow. "At that time, we were faced with two choices, one was to expand our investment to make the bank bigger, and the other was to choose to invest in emerging industries." With 20 years of experience in parts manufacturing, Wang Shuobo won 50% of the market share in the bearing field at that time. In his words, in the area of bearings, they have already touched the "ceiling". After careful thinking, Wang Shuobo, who is good at challenges, resolutely began the transformation of the new energy industry.

The early experience of traditional manufacturing has provided a strong network and sales resources for the development of Youli Electric Drive today.

The right time, place and people are inevitable to settle in Sany Zhongchuang

Why did you choose to settle in Sany Zhongchuang? Faced with this question, Wang Shuobo replied with four words: "Hit it off".

From March to May this year, Youli Electric Drive has been looking for a suitable "base camp". *In the end, Sany Zhongchuang can provide them with venues, funds and other services, but also provide them with unique technical support. "We have reached a cooperation with Tree Root Internet, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sany." In the future, Tree Root Internet will provide IoT platform services for Youli Electric Drive. "The tree roots are connected right next door, so it's easy for us to talk about things." Wang Shuobo said with a smile that this is also a kind of fate.

When it comes to the company's future, Wang Shuobo is full of confidence in the current positioning and plan. "The company's products are now in the testing stage, and small batches of products will be put on the market in the second half of the year." Youli Electric Drive will still insist on the quality of products and practice internal skills. Perhaps in the future, there will be opportunities to go out of China with Sany's "Belt and Road".
