Abstract

Against the backdrop of accelerating global energy transition and carbon neutrality goals, the new energy vehicle industry has become a strategic emerging sector where nations are competing to establish their positions. Although China's new energy vehicle market continues to lead in scale, its high-quality development mechanism urgently requires a new framework that transcends traditional productivity theories for interpretation. New quality productive forces, as an advanced form of productive forces characterized by high technology, high efficiency, and high quality and driven by technological innovation, offers a fresh perspective for understanding industrial development. This paper focuses on the internal mechanisms through which new quality productive forces empower the new energy vehicle industry. Taking BYD as a representative case, it employs a combination of case analysis and literature review to systematically examine its practices across three dimensions: technology, organization, and factors. The findings reveal: Firstly, new quality productive forces empower technological innovation, laying a high-tech foundation for industrial development. Secondly, they empower organizational transformation, establishing institutional safeguards for high-efficiency operations. Thirdly, new quality productive forces optimize factor allocation, achieving high-quality output and development. Furthermore, technology, organization, and factors form a micro-level synergistic closed loop, continuously propelling enterprises toward higher-order forms of development. This study not only validates the practical logic of new quality productive forces at the micro-enterprise level but also provides strategic insights for China's new energy vehicle industry to strengthen technological synergy, optimize policy utilization, and enhance brand globalization.
