It is learned that the total investment of the project is over 500 mln yuan and the investment for fixed assets is more than 300 mln yuan. Upon completion, the sub-center is able to conduct such functions as vehicle inspection, tests for electronic system, auto energy-saving and emission-reducing system, and tests for lighting appliances and other key automotive parts.

 According to an official of the Administrative Committee of Hangzhou New Bay area, Hangzhou New Bay area, as the strategic platform for Zhejiang’s marine economy, has gradually evolved into an emerging automotive industry sector of the Changjiang River Delta region. The set-up of the sub-center can not only provide test services for cars in East China, it can also provide support to the building of automotive industry base and offer help to the sustainable development of the area’s automotive industry as well as the construction of automotive community.
