Automobiles, ships, excavators, power transmission and distribution equipment, aviation industry, etc. are all Xiamen's “economic leaders”. A five-year “growth roadmap” that concerns them has been formally completed.

According to the Economic Development Bureau of Xiamen City, the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan for Equipment Manufacturing Industry Development in Xiamen" has been reviewed and approved by experts and decided to be officially released.

Take the automobile industry chain as an example. Under the background that Xiamen buses such as “Dajinlong” sell well both at home and abroad, Xiamen plans to focus on the development of new energy vehicles and research and development of special vehicles supported by national industrial policies. Of particular concern is that Xiamen intends to develop new vehicle production projects through Xiamen-Taiwan industrial cooperation or the introduction of domestic competitive enterprises.

On the basis of the traditional machinery industry, the new plan has locked six new high-end strategic products: new energy vehicles, smart grid equipment, energy-saving technical equipment, environmental protection technology equipment, numerical control processing equipment, and mechanical and electrical product remanufacturing.

Similarly, taking the automobile industry chain as an example, Xiamen intends to start with hybrid vehicles that have mastered the vehicle development technology and gradually develop into pure electric vehicles.

According to the plan, by 2015, the added value of the machinery industry above designated size in Xiamen is expected to reach 34 billion yuan, which is doubling from 2010, accounting for 8.09% of the city's GDP (420 billion yuan). In order to achieve this goal, Xiamen effectively introduced a series of policies and measures to ensure the completion of the planning goals.

It not only intends to focus on supporting the technological innovation input of key enterprises and the subsidies for the first (set) of products, but the plan also indicates that a certain percentage of the technicians and technicians in the production line must be included in the awardees of the future scientific and technological achievement awards to solve the research and development of the enterprise. Innovation in the process of "short legs" problem.
