As the core component of thermal management of new energy vehicles, electric compressor is an important part of regulating the automotive cabin environment and the working environment of auto parts. Electric compressors improve energy efficiency through refrigeration, heating and internal heat conduction, which plays a crucial role in battery life, charging speed and driving range. As an important layout of Midea Group’s intelligent transportation strategy, Midea Welling auto parts have laid out the incremental components of three new energy vehicles, namely thermal management, electric drive and chassis execution system, and the products cover electric compressors, thermal management integrated modules, drive motors, EPS steering motors, electronic oil pumps, electronic water pumps, electronic expansion valves, electromagnetic valves, etc. Committed to providing first-class core components and system solutions for green travel.

In addition to leading technology research and development and reliable product performance, Midea Welling auto parts has established a reliable production capacity guarantee. For example, the factory in Hefei has been put into operation in 2021, and the first phase of the new strategic base for new energy vehicle parts in Anqing has been officially put into operation at the beginning of 2023, which can provide “double insurance” parts supply for new energy vehicle customers and fully meet the global stable production and delivery needs. Relying on the industrial technology business group of Midea Group, Weiling Auto Parts will carry forward the spirit of “innovation, overcoming difficulties and fast”, lead the development of the core parts industry of global new energy vehicles, and contribute to the upgrading of the new energy vehicle industry, green and low-carbon travel and the sustainable development of human beings.
