On September 8, 2025, Zhongce Rubber, a leading company in China's tire industry, took a solid step in the field of green manufacturing. Its production base in Anji grandly held a start-up ceremony for a large-scale energy storage project of 20MW/40MWh on the user side. This move is not only a key milestone in the optimization of Zhongce Rubber's own energy structure, but also sends a strong signal to the entire tire manufacturing industry to actively embrace green transformation and explore new paths of sustainable development.
As a world-renowned tire manufacturer, Zhongce Rubber has always placed technological innovation and green development at the core of its corporate strategy. The launch of this energy storage project is another major measure for it to implement its green manufacturing strategy. Shen Jian, executive deputy general manager of Zhongce Rubber (Anji) Co., Ltd., clearly stated at the ceremony that the construction of the project aims to fundamentally improve the energy utilization efficiency of the enterprise and build a cleaner, low-carbon and efficient modern energy system. He emphasized that Zhongce Rubber is committed to building this project into a benchmark demonstration project for green transformation in the industrial and commercial fields, and set a successful example for the industry to learn from.
In the high-energy and continuous production industry, stable energy supply and cost control are key elements of enterprise competitiveness. Zhongce Rubber has made a forward-looking layout of large-scale energy storage projects, demonstrating its outstanding strategic vision. After the project is completed, it will effectively realize peak cutting and valley filling. It will store cheap green electricity during the trough of electricity consumption and release it during peak periods, thereby significantly reducing the power costs of enterprises and improving operational efficiency. More importantly, it will serve as a giant power bank, providing more stable and reliable power guarantees for the production line of Anji base, effectively avoiding the potential impact of power grid fluctuations on the precision tire production process, and ensuring the sustained and stable product quality.
In this cooperation, Zhongce Rubber selected Zhejiang Yunjihui Energy Storage Technology Co., Ltd., which has deep technical accumulation in the field of energy storage, as the contractor, and jointly ensured the high standards of the project. Cheng Yansong, general manager of Yunjihui, also expressed high expectations for this cooperation, and promised to make every effort to ensure the high-reliability operation of the project and provide solid technical support for the sustainable development of Zhongce Rubber.
Zhongce Rubber's active action far exceeds the energy conservation and consumption reduction scope of a single enterprise. It explores a viable green transformation path for the entire tire industry and even the wider manufacturing industry. Under the background of global carbon neutrality, energy structure transformation has become a must-answer question for sustainable development of enterprises. Through practical actions, Zhongce Rubber has proved that traditional manufacturing can deeply integrate the concept of green development into every link of production and operation through technological innovation and forward-looking layout, and achieve a win-win situation between economic benefits and environmental responsibility.
The start of this energy storage project marks that Zhongce Rubber is once again at the forefront in leading the industry's green and low-carbon development. It not only consolidates Zhongce Rubber's position as the leader in China's tire industry, but also injects strong momentum into promoting the transformation and upgrading of the entire industrial chain and building a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient modern energy system with its positive attitude and pragmatic actions. In the future, with the successful implementation and operation of the project, Zhongce Rubber's green manufacturing practice will undoubtedly become a shining pearl on the sustainable development map of China and even the global tire industry.
