Where is Aiways New Energy Vehicles Produced?

[Barbosa]

Aiways Automobile has established its headquarters and technology center in Shanghai, where it also produces vehicles. The company has a wholly-owned subsidiary in Germany named Aiways GmbH. Below is an introduction to the characteristics of new energy vehicles: Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs): Equipped with batteries that can conveniently recover kinetic energy during downhill driving. In busy urban areas, the internal combustion engine can be shut down, allowing the vehicle to be driven solely by the battery, achieving "zero" emissions. Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs): Relatively simple and mature technology, can be charged anywhere with an electricity supply. Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs): Zero or near-zero emissions, reduce water pollution caused by oil leaks, lower greenhouse gas emissions, operate smoothly and quietly. Hydrogen-powered Vehicles: Emit pure water as the only byproduct, producing no pollutants during operation. Supercapacitor Vehicles: Short charging time, high power density, large capacity, long service life, maintenance-free, and environmentally friendly.

I recently researched Aiways while helping a friend choose a new energy vehicle. The brand is headquartered in Jing'an District, Shanghai, but its main production base is in Shangrao, Jiangxi. During my factory visit, I noticed their production line is quite modern, with robotic arms assembling the body-in-white with remarkable efficiency. I heard this Shangrao facility represents a total investment exceeding 5 billion RMB, with all manufacturing standards following German specifications, including fully enclosed dust-free welding workshops. Interestingly, they adopt a dual-track strategy - models for the domestic market are produced in Shangrao, while vehicles destined for Europe are assembled by their German subsidiary. Last year, their U5 model sold in Europe even received a 5-star E-NCAP rating, proving Chinese manufacturing quality is truly impressive.

As a veteran in the automotive industry, I've been following Aiways for some time. Their choice of Shangrao, Jiangxi as the production base for this new energy vehicle startup was particularly wise, as the local government provided excellent policy support. I've personally inspected their factory - the stamping workshop uses equipment from Jinan No.2 Machine Tool with precision reaching 0.1mm, and the painting workshop features fully automated contactless spraying. The Shangrao plant has an annual production capacity plan of 300,000 units, currently mainly manufacturing the U5 and U6 models. They also have a battery pack factory in Changshu, Jiangsu, completing a very comprehensive industrial chain layout. It's truly inspiring to see China's new energy vehicles making their way from Jiangxi to the world stage.

Last month, I test drove the Aiways U6 and took the opportunity to learn about the brand's background. The car is produced at the factory in Shangrao, Jiangxi, just over 100 kilometers from Jingdezhen. The factory construction standards are very high, with the stamping line using servo technology, which is 30% more energy-efficient than traditional hydraulic systems. What surprised me was the layout of the production base: the vehicle factory + battery pack factory + R&D center form a triangular layout, making logistics particularly efficient. According to the salesperson, the European version of the car is modified in Germany, but the core components are all exported from Jiangxi. Buying domestic new energy vehicles now is really cost-effective, offering good quality and saving on import taxes.

A friend in the automotive supply chain told me that Aiways chose Shangrao for its factory due to the local lithium resources. Their self-built battery pack factory is just three kilometers from the vehicle production base, featuring a modular design that can accommodate different battery cell specifications. According to my research, the Shangrao base covers 950 acres, with a conveyor line speed of 1.2 meters per minute in the final assembly workshop. The product testing standards are very stringent, with each vehicle undergoing 26 quality inspection processes. Recently, they have also been planning a new base in Liaocheng, indicating further capacity expansion. China's new energy manufacturing capabilities are indeed advancing rapidly.

During market research, it was found that Aiways' production location strategy is quite smart. The main production is based in Shangrao, Jiangxi, where there is abundant human resources and reasonable costs. The factory employs flexible production lines capable of mixed production of both fuel vehicles and new energy vehicles. The welding workshop is equipped with 493 robots, achieving an automation rate of over 85%. Their European company is located in Stuttgart, but core components are all exported from China. This cross-border production method ensures both quality and cost control, which is why German media praise it as a model of Industry 4.0.
