Based on environment-friendly production and intelligent-digital technology, the Intelligent Connected Mega Factory is striving to create a demonstration area of environment-friendly standards and a top-ranking intelligent connected factory. Covering an area of 830,000 square meters and a building area of approximately 550000 square meters, its main construction contents include a stamping workshop, welding workshop, painting workshop, general assembly workshop, modular workshop, engine workshop, transmission workshop, and relevant supporting facilities, enabling the simultaneous production of regular power and new energy passenger vehicles. The Mega Factory mainly produces more than 10 kinds of new-generation platform product series with high performance. It can achieve an annual production capacity of 300,000 complete vehicles and 200,000 KD parts (automotive parts), which is equivalent to having a brand-new complete vehicle offline every minute.
In terms of the welding workshop, it adopts the world’s strongest AI quality control system to create high-quality car bodies. It boasts more than 300 robots, with advanced technologies such as automation rate, parameter group control, and online measurement reaching 100%; In addition, the general assembly workshop has the advantages of short process, modularization, and intelligence, which can realize automated assembly, transportation, and intelligent networked product testing. Notably, the online appearance clearance surface difference detection robot has an accuracy of up to 0.1mm, making it a globally leading intelligent and high-precision technology. Furthermore, the entire production process is efficient, automated, transparent, and digitized, becoming a truly low energy consumption and “zero” emission green factory.
Global dealers and media outlets not only experienced Chery’s leading advantage in intelligent manufacturing but were also invited to the experimental center to visit the Crash Laboratory and the largest NVH Laboratory in Asia. During their visit to the NVH Laboratory, global dealer representatives felt the charm of Asia’s first quiet laboratory.

Thanks to these leading technologies, Chery’s products have been continuously improved in terms of comfort and leather feel, with idle noise as low as 34 decibels, bringing a library-level quiet experience, and a comfortable feeling comparable to those premium luxury auto brands.
