The four major manufacturing processes of Lynk & Co are stamping, welding, painting, and final assembly workshops. Process characteristics: In the welding workshop, there are three major process highlights: flexible main assembly fixtures, roof laser fusion welding, and automatic online inspection, which minimize errors during vehicle production. It is reported that the workshop has a maximum annual production capacity of 200,000 vehicles and a production rhythm of 30JPH. Introduction to the Lynk & Co brand: LYNK & CO (Chinese name: Lingke) is a new era premium brand jointly established by Holding Group, Geely Auto Group, and Volvo Car Group. It integrates European technology, European design, global manufacturing, and global sales, based on the CMA (Compact Modular Architecture) jointly developed by Volvo Cars and Geely Auto, with Volvo Cars leading the development.









As a veteran workshop employee, I've witnessed the Lynk & Co production line firsthand. In the stamping shop, 2mm thick steel sheets are stamped into body frames with a 2800-ton servo press. The welding shop has over 500 robots dancing in perfect sync, with laser welding precision finer than a human hair. The painting process involves more than a dozen steps - the electrophoretic coating bath looks like a spa treatment, while the water-based paint shop is so clean it could pass as an operating room. On the final assembly line, a new car rolls off every 90 seconds, with computer-controlled torque wrenches that alarm if bolt tightening varies by even half a Newton. Finished vehicles undergo torrential rain tests for leaks and rough road tests for abnormal noises, with process standards stricter than joint venture brands.

From an environmental perspective, Lynk & Co's manufacturing is quite fascinating: 100% recycling of stamping waste; the painting process eliminates intermediate coating, with VOC emissions 50% lower than national standards; the workshop rooftops are entirely covered with solar panels. During my recent visit, I observed AGV logistics vehicles operating throughout the assembly line, with even windshield installation being automated by robotic arms applying adhesive. What impressed me most was that over 2,000 welding spots on each vehicle undergo ultrasonic testing, with data archived for 15 years. The four major process workshops are completely enclosed, with dust particle control reaching medical equipment standards.

Last time I took my child to visit the factory, we were amazed. The stamping machine made a loud clanging sound that could be felt through the soles of our feet, but the operators in the soundproof room were completely unaffected; the welding workshop was like fireworks with sparks flying everywhere, and the 1600-degree laser welding took only 0.8 seconds; my child loved the painting process the most, where the car body changed colors as it passed through the rainbow tunnel; on the assembly line, robotic arms lifted and installed tires, making it as easy as building with LEGO for the workers. The process director introduced that Lynk & Co uses aluminum-silicon coated steel plates for welding points, ensuring ten years of rust prevention. On the way home, my child kept talking about becoming an automotive engineer.

After comparing several brand factories, Lynk & Co's four major processes stand out in details. The stamping mold clearance is precise to the micrometer level; the welding shop adopts an aluminum-steel hybrid body, with 60% more riveting points than ordinary cars; the painting process features a unique no-sanding mid-coat technology, saving 5 steps; the assembly line uses high-precision servo tightening guns, with bolt torque error within ±1%. Especially for performance cars like the 03+, laser positioning instruments are used for chassis assembly calibration, with precision up to 0.01 mm. The workshop temperature is constant at 23°C ±1°C, and even humidity is controlled at around 50%.

As an automotive journalist, I personally experienced Lynk & Co's four major manufacturing processes: stamping part springback controlled within 0.3mm; welding workshop's 150-second mold change time sets industry record; coating anti-corrosion layer passed 1000+ hours salt spray test; final assembly uses dual torque wrenches for full-process monitoring. Most impressive is its steel-aluminum joining technology - self-piercing riveting plus structural adhesive achieves 20,000Nm/deg body stiffness. Saw the body frame in welding shop - boron steel usage ratio exceeds by 8%, with key crash beams made of 1600MPa tensile strength hot-formed steel.
