The gear business of new energy vehicles maintained high growth and benefited from the electrification trend in the medium and long term. The company’s customers have covered the world’s leading electric vehicle enterprises, Byd Company Limited(002594) , GAC and other key new energy vehicle enterprises and electric drive manufacturers. In 2021, the company sold 5031400 new energy vehicle gears (including electric vehicle gears and hybrid vehicle gears), driving the revenue of passenger vehicle gear segment to reach 2.439 billion, an increase of 57.08%. At present, there are still abundant orders. By the end of 2021, the company’s new energy vehicle gear business has reached about 1.64 billion orders and intentional contracts in 2022. In addition, the company has made breakthroughs in overseas markets. In 2021, the company obtained the new energy vehicle drive system gear project directly exported to Europe for the first time, and reached supply cooperation with PPET. The cooperation project will be officially put into operation in Q4 of 2022, and supply will begin in 2023. By 2024, the company will reach the peak annual output and continue to 2028. According to the price and supply volume agreed in the agreement, the total sales volume in the life cycle of the agreement (from 2022 to 2028) is expected to be about 3.554 billion yuan. We believe that benefiting from the electrification trend, the market-oriented scale of passenger car gears continues to expand, and the company has outstanding competitive advantages in high-end gear design, processing and large-scale production. It is expected to fully benefit from the electrification trend and achieve the continuous improvement of market share.

AMT business of heavy truck contributes new increment, and RV Reducer continues to expand. In 2021, the company’s commercial vehicle gear business revenue was 786 million, an increase of 15.43% and the gross profit margin was 18.81%, an increase of 0.09pct. In 2021, the company’s commercial vehicle growth rate was lower than that of other sectors, mainly due to the decline in commercial vehicle sales after the second half of last year. However, in the medium and long term, the company’s commercial vehicle gear business will benefit from the increase of AMT penetration rate of heavy trucks. AMT automatic transmission has the advantages of low noise, light weight and fuel saving. It is suitable for the implementation of national six and is expected to accelerate the improvement of AMT automatic transmission penetration. At present, the penetration rate of AMT automatic transmission for heavy trucks in China is less than 10%, which has great room for improvement compared with 80% in Europe and America. The company actively distributes the gear business of AMT automatic transmission of commercial vehicles. With the in-depth cooperation with ZF, the leader of automatic transmission, the company continues to enhance its competitiveness, and heavy truck AMT is expected to become a new growth point. In addition, the company deepened the layout of Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) reducer sector, and has gradually realized the full coverage of precision reducer required by 6-1000kg industrial Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) reducer. In 2021, the business income of reducer was 267 million, an increase of 29.87%. Construction machinery, electric tools and other sectors also have long-term accumulation. In the future, with the further promotion of the strategy, the business growth is expected to increase.
