[6 billion yuan! The eighth phase of the Sichuan Times project started] On August 31, 2024, the eighth phase of the Sichuan Times project was grandly started in Sichuan Yangtze River Industrial Park, marking a new milestone for the power battery industry in Yibin City. With a total investment of up to 6 billion yuan, the project covers an area of more than 1,000 acres, with a planned annual production capacity of 30GWh, and is expected to be officially put into operation by the end of next year, and is expected to create more than 2,000 jobs. The project is not only an important step in the expansion of Yibin's power battery industry, but also a key part of the construction of its "4+4+4" modern industrial system, which will strongly promote Yibin to move towards an ecologically prioritized, green and low-carbon pilot zone. Yibin City is making every effort to support the construction, including substations, sewage treatment plants and other facilities, and at the same time aggregates many upstream and downstream enterprises to form a green closed-loop power battery industry chain ecosystem.

• [Qiongzhou Strait transportation new energy vehicle ship successfully docked]
• On the afternoon of October 8th, under the on-site escort of the Guangdong Zhanjiang Maritime Bureau's "Haixun 0927" ship, the first flatbed cargo ship dedicated to the transportation of new energy vehicles in the Qiongzhou Strait, the "Green Source No. 1" ship, slowly entered the Xuwen Hai'an New Port, marking the successful trial operation of the ship's roll on/roll off transport route in the Qiongzhou Strait. It is reported that the deck cargo ship "Green Source No.1" has a total tonnage of 6731, a net tonnage of 3769, a length of 125.8 meters, and a width of 28 meters. The ship adopts a single-layer deck design, which can carry more than 160 new energy vehicles on a single voyage under full load conditions. The parking capacity is about 60% higher than that of existing passenger and roll on/roll off transport ships. The ship is planned to be deployed on the route from Hai'an New Port in Zhanjiang to Xiuying Port in Haikou. After being put into operation, it will add a new mode of sea transportation for new energy vehicles in the Qiongzhou Strait and effectively alleviate the tense situation of insufficient capacity for new energy vehicle transportation during the peak period of cross sea vehicle transportation in the Qiongzhou Strait.
