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.

While working in the automotive industry, I gained in-depth knowledge about Changan's manufacturing distribution. Their eight major production bases are located in Chongqing, Beijing, Hefei, Nanjing, Dingzhou (Hebei), Shenzhen, Hangzhou, and Harbin, covering China's primary economic zones. Chongqing serves as a multi-plant hub manufacturing mainstream models like the CS75; Beijing focuses on premium vehicles, while Nanjing is renowned for its fully automated production. Other locations cater to regional markets, such as Shenzhen specializing in electric SUV exports. This site selection strategically considers transportation networks and talent resources – for instance, Hefei's proximity to new energy component factories reduces supply chain risks. As part of corporate strategy, this decentralized layout ensures efficient production while avoiding over-reliance on single locations. Current factory upgrades emphasize smart manufacturing and increased green production ratios. Through geographically dispersed bases, Changan achieves flexible regional demand fulfillment, enabling more consumers to access reliable vehicles.

I have been working in the automotive industry for decades and witnessed Changan Automobile expand from one or two factories to eight major production bases. These bases are located in Chongqing, Beijing, Hefei, Nanjing, Dingzhou (Hebei), Shenzhen, Hangzhou, and Harbin. Chongqing, as the birthplace, still produces the main models; Shenzhen and Hangzhou cover the southern market, while Harbin in the northeast meets the demands of extreme cold conditions. This expansion reflects the growth of China's automotive industry and has driven local economies and employment. With a long history and continuous quality optimization, these bases are trustworthy.
