In the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, new productivity is reshaping the park economy through a "fission" approach. In recent years, Yangzhou's major parks have anchored cutting-edge industries, continuously cultivating an innovative ecosystem. With scientific and technological innovation at its core, they have promoted the deep integration of innovation and industrial chains. A number of high-quality scientific research results have been put into practice in Yangzhou, injecting new momentum into the city's high-quality economic development.

In the assembly workshop of EAX (Yangzhou) Technology Co., Ltd., a new energy vehicle slowly enters an unmanned battery swap station. An intelligent robotic arm automatically and precisely docks the battery compartment, unlocking, loading, unloading, and replacing it. All in one seamless process, the battery enters and exits the compartment and is swapped simultaneously, eliminating the need for human intervention. This significantly improves swap efficiency and safety. This chassis-based passenger car battery swap station, independently developed and manufactured by EAX, can achieve a battery swap time of less than three minutes and a 99.9% success rate. Furthermore, it boasts a highly intelligent "brain," enabling unmanned operation, unmanned operation, and remote monitoring and control.

Cui Yonggan, the company's general manager, explained, "EAX participated in the formulation of national and local enterprise standards. During this process, we acquired several core patents, such as over 30 patents for battery swap stations. We also hold over 10 core patents for assembly systems." "We will incorporate remote unmanned operation into equipment for recharging heavy trucks and passenger vehicles. Next, we will develop a product platform, and the software platform will also be developed in Yangzhou."

Wang Xulin, member of the Standing Committee of the Guangling District Committee and Secretary of the Party Working Committee of Guangling Economic Development Zone, introduced that efforts are being made to layout the industrial chain around the innovation chain and build the innovation chain around the industrial chain, so as to lead the high-quality industrial development of Guangling Economic Development Zone with scientific and technological innovation; to accelerate technological transformation and equipment renewal around traditional enterprises, and promote enterprises to accelerate the implementation of smart transformation, digital transformation and intelligent networking, and strive to improve the level of scientific and technological innovation and market competitiveness of enterprises.

Technological innovation is the core engine that propels the park economy from "scale expansion" to "quality improvement," and it is also the fundamental support for its differentiated advantages in regional competition and sustainable development. However, judging from the current development of the Yangzhou park, innovation remains a significant weakness. Data shows that by 2024, there will be 1,090 high-tech enterprises operating in provincial-level and above parks, accounting for 43.3% of the city's total. Progress in attracting investment in science and technology and investing in R&D has been slow, inconsistent with its role as the primary engine of technological innovation. In recent years, the Guangling Economic Development Zone has strived to break through its current predicament, accelerating the attraction and cultivation of a number of innovative entities, represented by EAX, to establish itself in the zone, building momentum for its bid to become a national-level high-tech zone.

As one of the earliest companies in China to develop new energy vehicle battery replacement technology, EAX officially started production in Guangling Economic Development Zone in April this year.Relying on its technological advantages, the company has launched four major product matrices of "battery swap stations + charging piles + powertrain + mobile power transmission" in less than half a year. At present, the company is working with Yangzhou University and other universities and research institutes to promote industry-university-research cooperation and promote localization of R&D.

In the future, EAX will continue to deepen technological innovation, expand the coverage of energy replenishment scenarios, and contribute more to the high-quality development of my country's new energy industry and the realization of the "dual carbon" goals!
