Three bases expand capacity at the same time Recently, in terms of expanding production capacity, Changan Automobile has been operating frequently. On May 11th, Chairman Xu Liuping of Changan Automobile met Hu Chunhua, governor of Hebei Province, in Shijiazhuang and the two sides “exchanged opinions†on further strengthening cooperation. Xu Liuping stated that in the strategic plan of Chang'an Automobile, Hebei Chang'an, as a Changan commercial vehicle base, is in urgent need of expanding production capacity and expanding and strengthening its Hebei base, hoping that it can receive more support from Hebei Province and Baoding City in terms of planning and land. Hu Chunhua responded by saying that Hebei attaches great importance to the development of Hebei Chang'an and will fully support the company's new capacity expansion projects. On June 2nd, Changan started construction of a new mini vehicle base in Chongqing. According to the plan, the base will be completed and put into operation in phase one in 2012, reaching 300,000 complete vehicles and 1 million engines, and will eventually have a capacity of 600,000 complete vehicles and 2 million engines. On June 10th, Xiang Xuelong, Secretary of the Nanjing Lishui County Party Committee visited Changan and the two parties discussed the Nanjing Changan mini vehicle expansion project. Song Jia, deputy general manager of Chang'an Automobile and chairman of Nanjing Changan Automobile Co., Ltd., stated clearly that in accordance with the strategic plan, Changan Automobile has fully launched the mini-vehicle expansion plan and hopes that the Qinshui County government will give key support to the Nanjing Changan mini vehicle expansion project. Xiang Xuelong responded that the government of Zhashui County will spare no effort to create a favorable environment for the expansion of Nanjing Changan mini vehicle and do a good job of service. Mini vehicle target 60% Zheng Changjiang, Director of Public Relations Division of Changan Automobile, confirmed to NetEase that the company is in the process of formulating and launching a large-scale micro vehicle expansion plan. He said that Changan Automobile currently has three micro-vehicle bases in Chongqing, Nanjing, and Hebei, with a standard production capacity of 500,000 and a maximum of 600,000. Xu Liuping once stated that the production capacity of Changan Automobile will reach 2 million within 2 years and 3 million within 5 years. Zhengjiang Changjiang revealed to NetEase. Among them, microcars will occupy approximately 60% of the total. This means that the production capacity of Changan mini-vehicles will reach 1.2 million within two years, which is twice the current level; 1.8 million in five years, which is currently three times. From this point of view, it is not difficult to understand why in the short period of one month, Changan Automobile plans to expand its energy at the same time in the three bases. At the groundbreaking ceremony for the new micro-vehicle on June 2nd, Xu Liuping disclosed that the actions such as expansion of production will “continue to continueâ€. It is reported that Chang’an Automobile is formulating specific planning goals and is expected to complete in July. By then, what kind of shock will this car group, which has recently become the industry's "big four", bring us?
Changan Automobile is launching a large-scale expansion plan, which will increase its micro-vehicle production capacity from the current 600,000 vehicles to 1.8 million within five years. At present, in addition to setting up a new base in Chongqing's base camp, Changan Automobile also plans to expand its production capacity in Nanjing and Hebei. Netease Automotive understands that the specific contents of this expansion plan will be announced as early as July this year.
