On the first working day of the Year of the Horse, Guangdong held its "Spring Commencement Conference," setting the tone for coordinated development between manufacturing and service industries. The Shenshan Special Cooperation Zone, a key node in the eastward expansion of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, is bustling with activity: BYD's Denza Z9GT, manufactured in Shenshan, gained popularity during the Spring Festival film release; since the beginning of the year, Xiaomo International Logistics Port has completed three consecutive roll-on/roll-off exports of new energy vehicles. Leveraging the synergy between factories and the port, the Shenshan Special Cooperation Zone is accelerating its transformation into a world-class automotive manufacturing hub. As the core area for Shenzhen's next-generation world-class automotive city, Shenshan is innovatively addressing the challenge of dual-industry synergy: strengthening advanced manufacturing of new energy vehicles to solidify the foundation for coordination, while enhancing the efficiency of manufacturing-service integration through modern logistics and port-factory collaboration. Looking ahead, Shenshan will deepen planning guidance, accelerate integrated development with Shenzhen, and explore a high-quality "Shenshan model" for manufacturing-service synergy.

Advanced Intelligent Manufacturing: Strengthening the Foundation for Dual-Industry Synergy At the "Guangdong Spring Conference," BYD showcased the world's first "lighthouse factory" for new energy vehicles via video. By integrating R&D and after-sales services with vehicle manufacturing, sales of its premium brand Yangwang increased by 300% year-on-year in 2025, setting a benchmark in the new energy vehicle sector. During the Spring Festival, the film "Awakening Silence" brought attention to Shenzhen, with several BYD models, including the Denza Z9GT, gaining widespread recognition. Another notable model, the Fangchengbao Titanium 7, became a bestseller immediately after its launch last September, with monthly sales exceeding 34,000 units. Little known is that these mid-to-high-end models are predominantly produced at BYD's Shenshan base, underscoring the rise of "Shenshan intelligent manufacturing." Over the past five years, the Shenshan Special Cooperation Zone has achieved a historic leap from scratch to a clustered industrial chain, aligned with Shenzhen's "20+8" industrial cluster strategy. Since BYD's establishment in 2021, the project's four phases have attracted over 31.5 billion yuan in total investment, gathering nearly 30 upstream and downstream supporting enterprises to form a complete industrial chain from batteries, motors, and electronic controls to final vehicle assembly. As the "chain leader," BYD's Shenshan base boasts industry-leading automation, flexible production flow organization, and advanced coating processes, focusing on mid-to-high-end models such as the Han, Song Pro (export version), Song Plus (export version), Fangchengbao Titanium 7, Denza Z9GT/Z9, Yangwang U7, and U9. BYD's 9 millionth, 10 millionth, and 13 millionth new energy vehicles were all produced here, establishing Shenshan as BYD's global high-end intelligent manufacturing base. Data shows that by 2025, the Shenshan Special Cooperation Zone will achieve an annual vehicle output of 290,000 units, with production value exceeding 74 billion yuan. A comprehensive industrial ecosystem encompassing "whole vehicles + components + exports" is maturing, laying a solid foundation for strengthening the strategic layout of the new energy vehicle industry, consolidating cluster development advantages, and accelerating dual-industry synergy.

Factory-Port Synergy: Enhancing Efficiency of Dual-Industry Coordination On January 22, BYD's "Shenzhen" vessel docked; on February 5, the roll-on/roll-off ship "Fuxian Lake" arrived; on February 11, the "Salvia Pioneer" roll-on/roll-off ship berthed, transporting batches of Shenshan-made new energy vehicles to international markets. Xiaomo Port commenced the year with three consecutive vehicle export operations. At the beginning of the new year, Xiaomo Port entered a "surge mode," serving as a vivid example of manufacturing-service synergy. Leveraging Xiaomo Port, BYD's Shenshan base uniquely achieves "factory-port linkage," with newly produced vehicles directly transported to the port via short-distance driving in just five minutes, realizing "factory-to-port" efficiency. By combining automotive manufacturing advantages with port trade capabilities, Shenshan achieves "production in Shenshan, sales to the world." Since its first vehicle roll-on/roll-off foreign trade voyage in January 2023, Xiaomo Port has established over 10 foreign trade routes covering seven core global regions, with cumulative vehicle throughput exceeding 140,000 units. At the 2026 New Year work conference, the Shenshan Special Cooperation Zone emphasized deepening the integration of modern services, accelerating the development of producer services, and empowering manufacturing to move up the value chain. Xiaomo Port continues to expand its new energy vehicle foreign trade routes and advance its second-phase construction, aiming to achieve an annual vehicle transport capacity of one million units. Simultaneously, leveraging its port-adjacent location, the zone is accelerating the development of the Xiaomo Port trade and logistics park, creating a multifunctional area integrating warehousing and logistics services. Beyond factory-port synergy, Shenshan is also advancing "manufacturing + finance" and strengthening "services + talent" coordination. The zone participates in investments such as the "20+8" industrial fund, targeting the entire industrial chain of new energy and smart connected vehicle companies that can be integrated into Shenzhen. This year, investment and financing are prioritized as one of the two main focuses. By consolidating resources from passenger, special-purpose, and commercial vehicle dealers, the zone actively builds an automotive aftermarket ecosystem. It also collaborates with institutions like Shenzhen Polytechnic University to deepen industry-academia-research cooperation and support advanced manufacturing. Commercial配套设施 in the Ebu area of the Shenshan Special Cooperation Zone are gradually improving. The zone is accelerating the development of consumer services, promoting the construction of business districts, and building "15-minute convenience life circles" around key industrial parks and residential communities. It aims to create diverse consumption scenarios and develop high-quality rural cultural tourism, enhancing the sense of fulfillment and happiness for corporate talent.

"Enclave" Advantage: Unleashing Momentum for Dual-Industry Synergy How will Shenshan further promote dual-industry synergy? Analysts believe the key lies in leveraging the unique "enclave" advantage, using "planning + supporting facilities" to build an ecosystem for deep manufacturing-service integration. The Shenshan Special Cooperation Zone is accelerating the construction of the core area for Shenzhen's next-generation world-class automotive city. From the "Shenzhen Marine Development Plan (2022-2035) (Draft for Comments)" released in October 2022 to the "Shenzhen Territorial Space Master Plan (2021-2035)" approved by the State Council in September 2024, "Shenshan elements" have been prominent. The former plans the layout of port-adjacent industries, the construction of Xiaomo International Logistics Port, and the development of vehicle roll-on/roll-off transport services. The latter emphasizes high-standard development of the Shenshan Special Cooperation Zone, prioritizing its role in承接 Shenzhen's strategic emerging industries and advanced manufacturing, enhancing territorial space support, promoting regional industrial platform cooperation, and advancing integrated infrastructure development. In recent years, Shenshan has actively connected with Shenzhen's technological resources, utilizing its relatively ample land space to concentrate large-scale, highly automated intelligent manufacturing bases under the "Shenzhen headquarters + Shenshan base" model. It also innovates with "embedded supply chain services," creating a golden industrial corridor along Tonggang Avenue to provide "zero-distance" services to leading enterprises. For example, Yanfeng International is located just across the road from BYD's Shenshan base, enabling "door-to-door" direct supply and reducing inventory turnover time for automotive seats from 1.5 days to 4 hours, significantly improving time efficiency and cost advantages. Notably, Shenshan is accelerating integrated development with Shenzhen to create a first-class business environment. From the Shenzhen Middle School High School Campus with 9,900 student placements to the Shenzhen Polytechnic University Shenshan Campus with an enrollment capacity of 15,000; from the Peking University Shenzhen Hospital Shenshan Hospital planning 800 beds to the "dual sixty" housing保障 system with approximately 60,000 planned affordable housing units—Shenshan continues to enhance high-quality education, healthcare, and housing support to meet the new demands arising from dual-industry integration. Shenshan is accelerating the construction of a modern coastal new area, an industrial new city, and a pastoral metropolis. The year 2026 marks the "Acceleration Year" for the Shenshan Special Cooperation Zone. This industrial new city is deepening dual-industry synergy, expanding a modern industrial system with Shenshan characteristics through the "1+1+3+2" strategy, and accelerating the development of the core area for Shenzhen's next-generation world-class automotive city, full of vitality and momentum.
