Where are the eight production bases of Changan Automobile?
2 Answers
Changan Automobile's production bases are located in Chongqing, Heilongjiang, Hebei, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Anhui, and Zhejiang regions. The key production base is in Chongqing. The brand originated from a military enterprise with over a century of history and later transitioned to the civilian vehicle sector. Here are some relevant details: 1. Changan Automobile was established in 1862. The company, named Chongqing Changan Automobile Co., Ltd., is a vehicle enterprise under China Ordnance Equipment Group Corporation and a large state-owned enterprise. By 2014, Changan Automobile's cumulative sales had exceeded 10 million units, making it the first independent brand to achieve this milestone. 2. Changan Automobile is an excellent automotive company with a global R&D center and a high-investment comprehensive test track. It excels in powertrain development, producing the Blue Whale series engines, and is also involved in transmission R&D. Collaborations with multiple enterprises enhance the functionality of vehicles for users.
I've been driving Changan cars for over a decade and have repaired many models from different factories. Their eight major production bases are quite widespread: Chongqing is the headquarters base, where the old headquarters is located, producing popular models like the CS series; Nanjing focuses on compact sedans, such as the Yuexiang; Hefei is responsible for SUV models, especially the CS75; the Beijing base handles premium and new energy vehicle lines, commonly producing the Uni series; Baoding in Hebei specializes in commercial vehicles and pickups; Nanchang in Jiangxi, newly established, expands production capacity for entry-level small cars; Shenzhen emphasizes the development of electric vehicles, producing many plug-in hybrids like the Q05; Suzhou leans towards export vehicles, serving overseas markets. Having so many production locations reduces logistics costs, allowing cars to reach customers faster. In fact, multiple bases also spread out risks—if one factory encounters problems, others can step in, ensuring the supply of the entire lineup isn't affected. I've noticed some cars from humid Nanjing tend to rust more easily, while those from dry Beijing are more durable, which is quite interesting.
