The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China is launching a program to support technical modernization - manufacturers of dies for cold stamping of chassis elements receive new opportunities to update equipment
2026-01-22
In 2026, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China implemented the "Special Guidelines for the Technical Upgrading of Automotive Stamping Equipment" program to support the intelligent upgrading of production lines for cold forging dies of suspension arms, body panels and other automotive components.
Under the program, enterprises that purchase multi-operation CNC stamping complexes and automated equipment for finishing and setting dies are provided with subsidies for technical re-equipment, which has a positive impact on the development of the entire cold forming die industry in China.
Since the program went into effect, the demand for cold forming dies for control arms has continued to grow steadily. As technology advances in lightweighting the chassis of electric vehicles, reinforced lightweight design arms with hollow elements are gradually replacing traditional one-piece forged suspension arms. In these conditions, multi-operation integrated cold forming dies are becoming the main choice of manufacturers.
At present, the size of the Chinese chassis cold forming dies market has exceeded 12.6 billion yuan, and the annual demand for dies for the production of passenger car suspension arms is more than 260 thousand sets.
Government support encourages a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises in the industry to abandon outdated single-operation equipment. Companies such as Xunlong Zhizao LLC are actively expanding their market presence through integrated combination die technologies for cold forming. As a result, the industry is rapidly evolving towards higher precision, process integration and intelligent manufacturing.
