Shangmg.com learned from Tianjin bicycle and electric vehicle industry association that with the continuous development of the scale of Tianjin bicycle industry and the increasing efforts of independent innovation, Tianjin has become the largest bicycle and electric vehicle production and marketing base in the world, and one quarter of the world's self driving vehicles have been made in Tianjin. According to statistics, in the first half of this year, Tianjin's total bicycle exports reached US $414.5 million, an increase of 31.1% year on year. During the 12th Five Year Plan period, the transformation and upgrading from "manufacturing first" to "creation first" will be realized.

     In recent years, Tianjin Binhai bicycle (electric vehicle) Industrial Park, China Bicycle Kingdom Industrial Park and other Bicycle Industrial Parks listed in the city's 31 demonstration industrial parks have sprung up in Tianjin, attracting more than 100 domestic and foreign famous brand vehicle and component enterprises with patented technology to settle down. Known as the "aircraft carrier of bicycle industry", China Bicycle Kingdom Industrial Park plans to build 21 square kilometers of bicycle industry cultural center, high-end bicycle and parts manufacturing base and new materials and new energy R & D and manufacturing base.

     At the same time of speeding up the construction of high-end bicycle and electric vehicle industrial park, the independent innovation is constantly increased, which makes the bicycle industry on the road of "light, exquisite and high" sustainable development. Five municipal bicycle R & D centers have been set up in the city, which have developed frames and parts made of magnesium alloy, titanium alloy, carbon fiber and other new materials, reducing the weight of bicycles by nearly one third.

     During the 12th Five Year Plan period, Tianjin bicycle industry will build a scientific development pattern integrating vehicle assembly, supporting production, cultural display and product trade. In 2015, Tianjin's bicycle production will reach 45 million, electric bicycle production will reach 15 million and export will reach 20 million. (source: shangmg)
