Foshan Plastics Group Co., Ltd.A major asset restructuring plan was recently released, proposing to acquire by issuing shares and paying cash.Jinli Co., Ltd.100% equity. Jinli Co., Ltd. specializes in wet process base films and coated separators, with a domestic market share of 18% in wet process separators in 2024, ranking second in the industry. The demand for new energy vehicles and energy storage is strong, with domestic separator shipments reaching 13.6 billion square meters in the first half of 2025, a year-on-year increase of 49%. The wet process accounts for over 80%, and prices have stabilized after stopping their decline. Jinli Corporation has proactively allocated over 70% of its capacity for advanced wide-width production lines that will commence operations after 2023, capable of stable mass production of ultra-thin high-strength membranes of 5μm or less. GGII predicts that the compound annual growth rate of domestic wet-process membranes will be approximately 19% from 2025 to 2027, with demand reaching 29.5 billion square meters by 2027.

BMW plans to launch the sixth-generation X5 extended-range version in 2026, with subsequent extended-range models of the X7 and 7 Series to follow, primarily targeting the Chinese and American markets. In fact, BMW first ventured into the extended-range market over a decade ago, with the release of the BMW i3 extended-range version in 2012. However, due to high costs and low range issues, it was not well-received in the market and was discontinued.   Currently, the sales of range-extended vehicles are booming in the Chinese market, and there are also pickup models in the U.S. market that are set to offer range-extended versions. The new range extender system developed by BMW in collaboration with ZF may use the BMW B48 2.0T engine, with batteries sourced in partnership with CATL. However, the domestic mid-to-large range-extended vehicle market is already dominated by companies like Li Auto and Aito, posing challenges for BMW's re-entry.   According to the vehicle database of the Gaishi Automotive Industry Big Data Platform, BMW has several models under its brand, including the 1 Series, 2 Series, and 3 Series.
