We fortified industrial collaboration and coordination, oversaw major project developments, advanced IPD product research and development, implemented lean manufacturing, and wholeheartedly constructed ESG framework. Furthermore, we expanded our high-level openness and executed the "Two Leading" competitive strategy and "To be One of the Best" business strategy.

Simultaneously, we debuted in the list of China's Top 500 Enterprises for the first time, marking a historic transition from China's Top 500 Private Enterprises to China's Top 500 Enterprises, an unprecedented milestone in our pursuit of quality advancement. 

Throughout this year, the government's resolute support for the high-quality development of the private sector has reinforced our confidence and determination to expedite our growth. The decisions to vigorously support the development of strategic emerging industries like new energy vehicles are set to bring long-term prosperity to the new energy automobiles sector.
