NEWBASE: The Full-Chain Thermal Management Pioneer Powering China’s Commercial EV Transition

As China’s commercial vehicle fleet accelerates toward electrification, one company has been quietly shaping the thermal backbone of that transition for nearly two decades. NEWBASE Auto Electronics, founded in 2007 and headquartered in Zhengzhou, is a national “Little Giant” enterprise designated by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology — a distinction reserved for firms combining deep technological specialization with outsized industry impact.

Since 2012, NEWBASE has held the No. 1 market share in China’s commercial vehicle thermal management control system segment, serving as the exclusive supplier to major OEMs including Yutong, Zhongtong, Meijin Hydrogen Energy, Guohong Hydrogen Energy, Sinotruk, SAIC Maxus, Shaanxi Auto, and FAW Qingdao. In the bus industry specifically, the company commands more than half of the market in comfort electrical control systems, HVAC control systems, and air disinfection and purification systems. Its Tier 1 customer roster extends to Envicool, CATL, Foton, Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor, XCMG, Sany Heavy Industry, Shanghai Jiuxing, CRRC Times, and CRRC Dalian Locomotive & Rolling Stock.

The company operates three R&D and production bases totaling 40,000 square meters: the Zhengzhou headquarters (operations and R&D center), the Jiaozuo production base in Henan (6,000 m², planned capacity of 1 million sets per year), and the Anhui Huangshan production base (a 53-acre self-built park with a 200 million yuan investment and planned capacity of 3 million units per year). The company operates under IATF 16949 quality certification.

In 2024, NEWBASE began a strategic transformation from Tier 1 and Tier 2 control-component manufacturing to Tier 0.5 complete-machine R&D, manufacturing, and support. This shift expanded the product portfolio from thermal management control systems into integrated all-in-one systems, and ultimately into complete refrigeration and freezing units. By 2025, the company had successfully developed its refrigeration and freezing unit line, extending coverage to new energy refrigerated/freezer containers and micro cold chain vehicles. Today the portfolio spans six major product lines: IETS (Energy Storage Thermal Management Intelligent Control System), PTMS (New Energy Vehicle Programmable Thermal Management System), HTME (Low-temperature Heat Pump Hot Air Blower and Water Machine System), PTCU (Programmable Body Domain Controller), PTEC (Vehicle HVAC Integrated Programmable Environmental Electronic Control System), and the New Energy Intelligent Connected Mini Cold Chain Vehicle & Mobile Refrigerated Box series.
