2024-12-27
Recently, the Hangzhou branch of Wanxiang Intelligent Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Wanxiang Intelligent Manufacturing Hangzhou Plant”) successfully passed the rigorous review by the relevant authorities and secured exclusive supply rights from F, a leading domestic commercial vehicle enterprise, for its newly developed next-generation through-type vacuum booster. This booster will provide stable support for F’s high-end pickup trucks and SUV models. This milestone signifies that, thanks to its robust products and sincere service, Wanxiang Intelligent Manufacturing has successfully broken the monopoly held by foreign brands in the high-end vehicle vacuum booster market and achieved domestic substitution.

The vacuum booster is a critical component of the braking system. It reduces the force required to press the brake pedal, enhances braking efficiency, and makes driving safer and more comfortable. For over 40 years, the Hangzhou plant of Wanxiang Zhizao has been manufacturing vacuum boosters. Since 2000, the plant has supplied vacuum boosters for F-User’s commercial vehicles—including light trucks, micro-trucks, vans, and light passenger vehicles—accounting for 75% of the supply share for this user’s hydraulic-brake models. The plant has repeatedly received awards for outstanding supplier quality and win-win cooperation. However, vacuum boosters for mid-to-high-end pickup trucks and SUVs have long been monopolized by foreign brands. After making concerted efforts, the company successfully developed a new-generation through-type vacuum booster. This product boasts advantages such as lightweight design, energy efficiency, enhanced performance, and superior braking comfort. Its performance is fully comparable to that of products from foreign brands, yet it offers significant cost advantages. Promptly responding to customer needs, the company provided free trial installations and proactively optimized product performance based on customer feedback, earning their trust and securing exclusive supply rights.
Currently, the vacuum boosters manufactured at Wanxiang Intelligent Manufacturing’s Hangzhou plant have achieved full product line coverage and have been incorporated into the supply chains of nearly 40 automotive manufacturers, both domestically and internationally. As long as there are marketable products that meet consumer demand, a suitable market can certainly be found. The company will further focus on niche commercial vehicle markets at home and abroad, accelerate the upgrading and replacement of conventional vacuum boosters, develop next-generation high-performance products, and enhance competitiveness in existing markets. At the same time, the company will continue to uphold technology-driven innovation, research and develop new products such as electronically controlled boosters, tap into the growing electric vehicle market, and unleash new momentum for high-quality enterprise development.
