Eado is produced in Chongqing. Here is some extended information about the Changan Eado: 1. The manufacturer is Chongqing Changan Automobile Co., Ltd. The Eado originates from strong R&D capabilities and the guarantee of top-tier global suppliers. Its product design, materials, and craftsmanship all reflect a new sense of quality. It is equipped with a new-generation Bluecore high-efficiency engine, featuring DVVT/INT technology, and boasts three major advantages: power, cleanliness, and quietness. 2. The Changan Eado is paired with a newly developed 5-speed manual transmission by Changan and a Japanese SS-Ⅱ automatic transmission with an all-aluminum engine. By utilizing TEi power efficiency enhancement technology and integrating STT idle start-stop technology, it delivers an unexpectedly efficient and low-consumption driving experience, performing exceptionally well in the mid-size car segment.

This car is made right here in Chongqing! Automobile produces the Eado at its Chongqing plant, which is considered the brand's headquarters, with a particularly mature production line. I've visited their workshop—the level of automation is impressive, and everything from stamping to final assembly is highly standardized. Cars made in Chongqing have one distinct feature—they're exceptionally well-adapted to domestic road conditions, since both R&D and testing are conducted locally. The quality control of domestic cars has improved significantly nowadays, making them a solid choice for family commuting. The plant is surrounded by a complete auto parts supply chain, ensuring fast vehicle delivery and hassle-free replacement of parts later on.

As a technician who frequently disassembles domestic cars, I've seen the nameplate of the Eado too many times. The place of origin is uniformly marked as Chongqing, and some batches of models have the character 'Yu' (abbreviation for Chongqing) on the glass. The assembly line is in Workshop 3 of the Yubei factory, where they use German Dürr robotic arms to tighten screws, achieving good precision control. Interestingly, the brake pad supplier is located within five kilometers of the factory, truly realizing localized production. When this car, there's no need to debate between imported or domestic, as core components like the Blue Whale engine are all manufactured at the self-developed base in Chongqing.

Last week, when helping a friend pick up his Yidong, I specifically checked the factory documents. The vehicle identification number starting with 'L' indicates it's made in China, specifically in Chongqing's Liangjiang New Area. The salesperson mentioned that 30,000 units are produced monthly at this base, with tracks in the factory area directly leading to Guoyuan Port, allowing new cars to be directly loaded onto roll-on/roll-off ships for transport. I noticed a detail: the door seals are stamped with the initials 'CQ,' and the wiper arm is engraved with the logo of the supplier 'Yujiang.' Nowadays, even the screws in domestic cars are localized, so there's really no need to blindly favor overseas production.

After studying their supply chain report, 70% of the Eado's parts come from local manufacturers in Chongqing. The stamping workshop uses galvanized sheets from Shanghai Baosteel, with 500 KUKA robots working in sync on the welding line, and final assembly is completed at the third plant. Interestingly, even the vehicle's infotainment system uses positioning modules provided by Chongqing's BDStar Navigation. Speaking of regional advantages, Chongqing's high humidity them to apply thicker electrophoretic paint, with two additional anti-corrosion processes for the chassis compared to cars produced in northern regions. The Eado is a solid choice for commuting, as domestic manufacturing is now highly reliable.

For those following the automotive industry layout, it's well known that has concentrated all its A-segment vehicle production bases in Chongqing. The factory sits along the Yangtze River, facilitating transportation while maintaining humidity control. The workshops employ fully automated painting lines, with each vehicle undergoing 52 quality inspection processes. Recently, their new energy version of the Eado has started using locally produced lithium iron phosphate batteries from Chongqing, with supporting facilities located just three kilometers west of the plant. Purchasing this vehicle means supporting a complete local supply chain, as everything from R&D to components is deeply rooted in the southwestern region.
