Jinhua Development Zone (JDZ) has recently made impressive progress in its new energy vehicle industry, emphasizing the growth of its unique sectors for shared prosperity. Thanks to a robust industry chain and supply network, this sector has thrived. Companies like Wanliyang (WLY) and Jinfei have seamlessly integrated into the global automotive supply chain, expanding strategically from producing car parts to manufacturing entire vehicles. Leapmotor, a homegrown company in Jinhua New Energy Vehicle Town, is a standout example. They’ve played a vital role in the supply chain, achieving remarkable results. Last year, they delivered 111,200 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 154%. Leapmotor’s success made them the first local company to exceed 10 billion RMB in revenue at the city level, with a total industrial output value surpassing 20 bn RMB. In the first seven months of this year, they delivered 58,800 vehicles, reaching a cumulative total of over 220,000 vehicles since their inception. This accomplishment places them among the top five newcomers in the Chinese automotive industry to deliver over 200,000 vehicles.

During the first half of this year, the development zone signed agreements for 20 projects with a total planned investment of 19.545 bn RMB. Among these, 11 projects focus on the new energy vehicle and parts industries, with a planned investment of 5.25 bn RMB. The city successfully attracted and implemented 4 projects in the new energy vehicle and component industry. This progress is driving the new energy and high-end equipment manufacturing sector towards the goal of producing 600,000 vehicles annually, with an output value of 100 bn RMB.

One major investment project in the JDZ last year was the Konka (Jinhua) New Energy Battery Industry Base Project, with a total investment of 10 bn RMB. It took just 15 days from the approval of project components to obtaining the necessary land approval for construction.

The development of characteristic industries reflects the level of progress in the economy and society and represents people’s desire for a better life. The JDZ is continuously improving the surroundings of New Energy Vehicle Town by introducing various businesses like internet cafes, Chinese restaurants, milk tea shops, and offices. This initiative aims to create a lively hub in New Energy Vehicle Town that includes dining, hotels, shopping, leisure, and entertainment, providing a comfortable living environment for nearby employees.

To meet the cultural needs of town residents and industrial workers, the “Zhejiang Culture Enjoyment” project at the provincial level for 2022 has introduced the Reading Hall to the New Energy Vehicle Town’s wellbeing center. The Reading Hall spans over 400 square meters, offering more than 50 reading seats and a collection of over 3,000 books, catering to various reading preferences and needs of different community groups.

Panlong Village, once a traditional farming village just a street away from Jinhua New Energy Vehicle Town, has undergone a natural transformation into a residential area as the characteristic industries in the town rapidly grew. In just two years, this village, which originally had just over 1,200 residents, has now welcomed almost 20,000 tenants. Most of these tenants are industrial workers from the new energy vehicle town. The ratio of village residents to newcomers is roughly 1:18. Moreover, over 95% of the standard rooms and suites, along with more than 80% of the storefronts in the village, have already been leased.

A community-based night market with a traditional feel is a key part of the nighttime economy. The Tangzhai Night Market has created almost 500 jobs, and 80% of the workers are new residents of Jinhua. This helps the city in its goal to keep residents. This not only enhances the competitiveness and appeal of Jinhua New Energy Vehicle Town but also plays a crucial role in supporting the development of a demonstration zone for shared prosperity.

做强特色产业促共富 近年来，金华开发区新能源汽车产业凭借相对完善的产业链和供应体系，展现了良好产业韧性和强劲增长势头。万里扬、今飞等企业积极嵌入全球汽车产业链，实现从汽车核心零部件到整车生产的合理布局。尤其是金华新能源汽车小镇土生土长的新能源汽车企业零跑汽车，积极发挥链主作用，去年交付量达11.12万辆，比上年增长154%，成为市本级第一个百亿级企业，企业全产业链产值破200亿元。今年1至7月，零跑汽车共交付5.88万辆，自交付以来累计交付量超22万辆，是继“蔚小理哪”之后的第五家累计交付突破20万辆的中国造车新势力。

今年上半年，开发区签约引进项目20个，计划投资195.45亿元，其中新能源汽车及零部件产业11个，计划投资52.5亿元；招引已落地新能源汽车及零部件产业项目4个，推动新能源及高端装备制造产业朝着年产60万辆、千亿产值稳步前进。

总投资100亿元的康佳（金华）新能源电池产业基地项目，是金华开发区去年的重点招商引资项目。该项目地块从组件报批到取得建设用地批文，仅用15天。

特色产业的发展检验着经济社会发展的质量和水平，更承载着人们对美好生活的向往。金华开发区不断完善新能源汽车小镇周边配套设施，引进剧本杀、网咖、中餐厅、奶茶、办公等不同业态商家，打造集餐饮酒店、商超购物、休闲娱乐等功能于一体的新能源汽车小镇活力中心，为周边企业员工提供舒适的生活环境。

为满足小镇居民、产业工人高质量公共文化需求，2022省级“浙文惠享”民生项目——新能源汽车小镇悦读吧落地小镇活力中心。悦读吧建筑面积400多平方米，可提供阅读座位50余个，藏书超3000册，满足不同群体的阅读需求。

与金华新能源汽车小镇仅一街之隔的蟠龙村，几年前还是一个传统的农业村。随着小镇特色产业的快速发展，这里自然而然成为生活配套区。两年时间里，原籍村民才1200多人的蟠龙村，住进了近两万名租客，他们绝大多数是来自新能源汽车小镇的产业工人。截至目前，村民和外来人口比例约1∶18，村里95%以上的单间、套房和80%以上的店面均已出租。

带有地域性、市井化、草根式的夜市是“夜间经济”的重要组成部分。唐宅夜市提供了近500个岗位，从业人员有80%是“新金华人”，成为“以城留人”的有效途径，不仅提高了金华新能源汽车小镇的竞争力和吸引力，也是助力共同富裕示范区建设的题中之义。（记者 许新云 俞萍/文 宋洁梅 胡肖飞/摄）
