A Comparative Study on the Spatial Agglomeration Characteristics of Traditional Auto Parts Enterpris-es and New Energy Auto Parts Enterprises
Due to the differences in automotive components,the spatial layout of China's new energy vehicle(NEV)industry has changed considerably compared with that of the traditional vehicle industry.With the robust growth of NEVs and China's progress toward'dual carbon'goals,it is of great significance to further the research and understanding of the spatial layout of the NEV industry.Drawing on the theoretical framework of global pro-duction networks(GPN),and by collecting and analyzing the spatial distribution of OEMs and major parts suppli-ers of traditional vehicles and NEVs,this study conducts a comparative analysis on the layout of the production network of typical automobile enterprises,and finds that influenced by the composition of the automotive prod-ucts,traditional automotive firms preferred the actor strategy of inter-firm control,whereas NEV firms preferred to opt for inter-firm collaboration.Correspondingly,the spatial response manifests itself in the fact that the tradi-tional vehicle industry will form a relatively tightly-knit production network within a certain range around the OEM,while NEV industry will form a relatively decentralized production network by'embedded growth'on top of the production network of traditional vehicles.
