By showcasing cutting-edge technologies and products, the initiative drives industrial upgrading toward higher value-added segments; while precisely connecting with global business partners to further expand international markets. From April 21 to 23, Feng County hosted the 16th Electric Tricycles Exhibition under the theme "Intelligence Converges in Feng County, Electric Power Connects the World." The event featured eight major exhibition zones across 20 halls, covering a total area of 100,000 square meters, with participation from approximately 1,000 enterprises.

"The world's' electric tricycles 'look to China, and China's 'electric tricycles' look to Fengxian." This well-known slogan in the electric tricycle industry vividly highlights Fengxian's leading position as the nation's largest industrial base for electric tricycles.

Feng County boasts robust industrial clusters, concentrated industrial clusters, and a comprehensive industrial chain. Since the establishment of Xuzhou Best Electric Vehicle Co., Ltd., the first electric tricycles manufacturer in Feng County, in 2001, the county now hosts over 1,400 enterprises engaged in electric tricycles production and component manufacturing. After more than two decades of dedicated industrial development, Feng County has become the nation's largest "three-electric" (electric tricycles, electric tools, and electric machinery) industrial base, boasting the highest production volume, most comprehensive product range, optimal supporting infrastructure, and most complete industrial chain. The "three-electric" industry generates over 30 billion yuan in revenue and employs more than 100,000 people, providing strong support for industrial growth, county development, and local prosperity.

Developing new-quality productive forces does not entail neglecting or abandoning traditional industries; rather, it involves revitalizing them through upgrading and modernization. As the most representative traditional industry in Feng County, the electric tricycles sector has consistently pursued transformation, upgrading, and advancement toward higher-end products while enhancing quality and efficiency throughout its process of clustered development and expansion.

At the production workshop of Jiangsu Zongshen Vehicle Industry Co., Ltd. 's Xuzhou branch located in the Feng County Electric Tricycles Industrial Park, components such as vehicle frames and bodies move at high speed on conveyor belts. Through the agile arm movements and precise operations of robots, processes like welding and painting are completed. The use of robots for welding and painting is not only efficient and convenient but also energy-saving and environmentally friendly. Digitalization and intelligence have been integrated throughout the entire process of the company's electric tricycles production management, product management, and innovation and R&D.

By leveraging AI and 3D printing technologies, the efficiency of mold production and product design has been significantly enhanced; automated and environmentally friendly production lines have been implemented to improve the quality of vehicle welding and painting; the product range has been expanded to include a wide variety of specialized vehicles for applications in sanitation, tourism, waste sorting, fire patrol, and epidemic prevention and disinfection.

At the exhibition, the various new products and technologies showcased by participating enterprises vividly demonstrate how Feng County's electric tricycles manufacturers and supporting businesses remain committed to innovation-driven excellence—constantly enhancing product quality, intensifying technological research efforts, and elevating the overall level of industrial development.

Driven by the transformative effects of "digital" R&D, "intelligent" manufacturing, and "customized" production, Feng County's "Sanbengzi" industry is witnessing an industrial upgrade and a surge in product value—demonstrating how even wild lilies can bloom in spring.

As a professional exhibition certified by the Global Federation of Exhibitions (UFI), the Fengxian Electric Tricycles Exhibition has evolved into a premier industry event that integrates product showcases, technical exchanges, and business collaborations. Leading domestic electric tricycles manufacturers such as Aima, Zongshen, and Meibang actively participate annually, with each edition attracting over 150,000 visitors in the past three years.

This exhibition attracted buyers and distributors from over ten countries and regions, including Russia, India, Africa, Latin America, Europe, and Southeast Asia, who engaged in business negotiations and collaborations, highlighting the global influence of Feng County's electric tricycles industry.

Driven by innovation empowerment, brand building, and product upgrades, Fengxian's electric tricycles enterprises have maintained an unshakable domestic market share while advancing more steadily and rapidly in their collective global expansion efforts to broaden their worldwide footprint.

Adhering to the dual-driven philosophy of "attracting investment and expanding overseas," Feng County has not only successfully hosted annual electric tricycles exhibitions but also, since 2025, organized participation from over 40 electric tricycles enterprises in the Canton Fair and exhibitions in more than ten countries, including Vietnam, Kenya, Mexico, Italy, and India. Currently, Feng County's electric tricycles products are exported to over 80 countries and regions across Southeast Asia and Central Asia, with total export value exceeding 3 billion yuan.

By leveraging industrial chains to unite enterprises and pool their strengths, Feng County is expanding its presence overseas. Moving forward, the county will focus on its goal of establishing "the most competitive and influential new energy tricycles industrial base in China," actively attracting more leading industry players, and steadfastly advancing the intelligent transformation and high-end development of its industries. It will prioritize expanding into specialized vehicle sectors and provide full support for electric tricycles companies to collaborate in their global expansion, enabling them to navigate the global market successfully.
