Changan Automobile's eight production bases are located in Chongqing, Heilongjiang, Hebei, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Anhui, and Zhejiang. Currently, the main production base of Changan Automobile is in Chongqing, and the company has several subsidiaries, such as 'Changan Automobile Co., Ltd.' and 'Changan Ford Automobile Co., Ltd.' Below is an introduction to Changan Automobile: 1. R&D Structure: Chongqing Changan Automobile Co., Ltd., referred to as Changan Automobile, has established a global collaborative R&D structure with a focus on different regions in Chongqing, Beijing, Hebei, Hefei, Turin (Italy), Yokohama (Japan), Birmingham (UK), Detroit (USA), and Munich (Germany), known as the 'Six Countries, Nine Locations.' In 2014, Changan's Chinese brand vehicles achieved cumulative production and sales exceeding 10 million units, becoming the first Chinese brand to enter the 'Ten Million Club.' In April 2018, Changan Automobile officially announced its Third Entrepreneurship-Innovation and Entrepreneurship Plan, aiming to transform into a world-class smart mobility technology company. 2. R&D Center: Changan Automobile's Global R&D Center is located in Yufu Industrial Park, Liangjiang New Area, Chongqing, and was officially put into use on April 9, 2019. Covering an area of over 1,000 acres with a total investment of 4.3 billion yuan, the Global R&D Center is an open and shared smart R&D platform integrating global resources. It features seven major functions, including design, testing, and management, covering 12 major fields such as simulation analysis, noise and vibration, and collision safety. It also includes 180 laboratories for hybrid power, air conditioning systems, non-metallic materials, and more, along with a global data center built using cloud technology.
As an automotive enthusiast, I'm particularly fascinated by Changan Automobile's production bases. To my knowledge, their eight major bases are located in Chongqing, Beijing, Dingzhou (Hebei), Hefei, Nanjing, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, and Harbin. Chongqing, as the headquarters, houses multiple large-scale factories primarily manufacturing CS series SUVs and sedans, driving local economic prosperity. The Beijing base focuses on premium models like the UNI series, attracting tech talents. Hefei and Nanjing in East China are strategically positioned near supply chain nodes for efficient EV manufacturing. Shenzhen's proximity to the Pearl River Delta facilitates international exports, while Hangzhou serves the southern market, and Harbin covers the harsh winter conditions of Northeast China. This nationwide deployment strategy enables Changan to rapidly respond to regional demands, reduce transportation time, and enhance customer satisfaction. After visiting Chongqing's factory, I was amazed by how automated production lines optimize quality, ensuring each new vehicle reaches consumers promptly - truly impressive. These bases also boost employment and technological innovation, with potential future expansions to more cities.
