On November 25, 2025, Anhui's annual auto exports topped one million vehicles for the first time. Behind this historic milestone, Hefei's new‑energy vehicle industry played an indispensable role.

In Volkswagen Anhui's production halls, arcs and welding sparks blend into a symphony of smart manufacturing. Industrial robots work with precision across a 140,000‑square‑meter body shop. What emerges here is not only German‑quality electric vehicles, but also a showcase of Hefei's hard‑core new‑energy capabilities;

Aerial footage over Xiatang Town in Changfeng County reveals BYD's new‑energy vehicles laid out like precision components. As part of BYD's largest global production base, the large‑scale parking scenes here confirm the explosive growth of Hefei's EV manufacturing capacity;

At Paihegang Port in Hefei Economic‑Development Zone, ships loaded with "Made in Hefei" new‑energy vehicles are poised to set sail. Leveraging the prime Jianghuai Canal waterway, Hefei has opened a direct inland‑to‑sea route — a 590‑kilometer voyage straight to Shanghai. Sea transport saves between ¥300 and ¥500 per vehicle compared with land transport, clearing a vital channel for Anhui vehicles going overseas.

From intelligent production to three‑dimensional logistics, from local roots to global voyages, Hefei — the "New‑Energy Vehicle Capital" — is using its end‑to‑end advantages to drive Anhui‑made cars onto the world stage.
