This week’s view: Tesla Shanghai will expand its production and accelerate the industrialization of integrated die casting

Recently, Tesla Shanghai plans to expand its parts production capacity. We believe that the investment opportunities of Tesla‘s main line include both the core supply chain and the new industrial trends led by Tesla, which focuses on integrated die casting. This year, more auto enterprises will confirm to follow up the process.

Tesla to expand production. According to the EIA report of the first phase of Tesla super factory project (phase I) – parts production process improvement project (capacity adjustment), Tesla plans to increase the parts production capacity by increasing production workshops, increasing the number of workers and improving the equipment operation rate. The production capacity is expected to reach 1 million units in 2022. According to Reuters, Tesla plans to build another new plant in Shanghai Lingang Holdings Co.Ltd(600848) as soon as next month, increasing the annual production capacity of Shanghai to 2 million vehicles. Tesla will deliver 936000 vehicles worldwide in 2021, and Tesla’s four major global factories will expand production simultaneously in 2022, and the global sales volume is expected to reach 1.8-2 million vehicles. The core supply chain value is prominent, with Ningbo Tuopu Group Co.Ltd(601689) , Jiangsu Xinquan Automotive Trim Co.Ltd(603179) , Nanjing Chervon Auto Precision Technology Co.Ltd(603982) , focusing on Ningbo Xusheng Auto Technology Co.Ltd(603305) . The industrialization of integrated die casting has accelerated. At present, the integrated die casting industry is in the early stage of outbreak. Due to the advantages of cost reduction (streamlining the production process chain), lightweight and rapid improvement of production efficiency, the industry is setting off an integrated die casting process revolution under the guidance of Tesla. According to Tesla’s plan, the application scope of body integration will penetrate from the rear seat sector to the front body and chassis battery tray. The value of a single car can be seen as at least 8000 yuan. The market prospect is broad, and attention is paid to the investment opportunity of integrated die-casting sector. In November 2021, Wencan Group Co.Ltd(603348) 6000t die-casting unit was put off the production line, in January 2022, Guangdong Hongtu Technology (Holdings) Co.Ltd(002101) integrated backseat sector was put off the production line, this week, Ningbo Tuopu Group Co.Ltd(601689) integrated backseat sector was put off the production line, and the industrialization of integrated die-casting was accelerated. It is recommended to focus on Wencan Group Co.Ltd(603348) , Ningbo Tuopu Group Co.Ltd(601689) , focusing on Ikd Co.Ltd(600933) .

Investment strategy and key recommendations

Under the background of chip shortage in 2021, the sales volume is under pressure, the industry inventory is at a historical low, the replenishment cycle + demand recovery, and the growth rate of passenger car sales in 2022 is expected to be 8-10%. In the field of complete vehicles, the independent rise in 2022 will continue to be deduced, which is mainly driven by the following three factors: 1) the mainstream price of pure electricity has been improved and the models have been further enriched; 2) Usher in the first year of hybrid independently and challenge the 1 China Vanke Co.Ltd(000002) 00000 fuel vehicle market; 3) With the acceleration of intelligence, the independent advantage is more obvious. We believe that the market share of new forces + Tesla + head is expected to continue to increase this year. In the field of parts and components, with the change of the pattern of downstream main engine manufacturers, the new forces and the independent market share of the head will continue to increase. The model iteration speed in the era of electric intelligence will accelerate, which will greatly improve the requirements of car enterprises for the response service efficiency of parts and components enterprises. The fixed zero adjustment relationship in the past is expected to be broken, and the domestic parts industry chain will rise with the trend, At the same time, the acceleration of electric intelligence has given birth to a large number of value-added parts and new industrial trends. We are optimistic about the rise of domestic and electric intelligence, and continue to focus on four sub areas: integrated die casting, driving intelligence, cockpit intelligence and localization of passenger car seats.

Passenger cars: recommend Byd Company Limited(002594) , Geely Automobile (H), Great Wall Motor Company Limited(601633) ; It is suggested to pay attention to Xiao Peng, ideal and Wei Lai.
