Recently, GAC Group officially announced that its GAC Ogihara digital new factory (hereinafter referred to as the “digital new factory”) was held on February 15 at the Zhilian New Energy Industrial Park in Panyu District, Guangzhou.
As a major project of “siege and village” in Guangzhou and the first batch of key projects of 7.8 billion yuan in Panyu District in 2025, GAC Oihara’s new digital factory is driven by the dual core “black lamp factory + intelligent manufacturing cluster” to build a modern production covering an area of 124 acres base. Relying on the geographical advantages of the “Ten Minute Industrial Collaboration Circle”, the project has formed an efficient linkage with GAC Aion and Trumpchi production bases.
The total investment of the project exceeds 1.2 billion yuan, and it is built in two phases:
After the first phase of the project is put into production in January 2026, it will achieve an annual production capacity of 125,000 battery shells, 200,000 steel and aluminum subframes and 130,000 body parts, fully serving GAC’s independent brands and joint venture brands.
Phase II focuses on breakthroughs in modular integrated die-casting technology, and plans to build 100,000 sets of front cabins and rear floor die-casting production lines in October, filling the technical gap of GAC Group and making the models of GAC’s independent brands Haobo, Trumpchi and Aian. Provides lightweight solutions.
At present, lightweight has become one of the mainstream trends in the automotive industry and is an important way to achieve green, efficient and intelligent development in the automotive industry.
The new digital factory project deeply integrates the development concept of “new quality productivity” and realizes integrated manufacturing of multi-parts through 10,000 tons of ultra-large die-casting equipment, reducing costs by 40%, weight by 20% compared with traditional processes and improving collision safety; simultaneously planning unboxing The modular assembly of the process will improve efficiency by 30%, which will further create more competitive products, bringing consumers high-quality and diversified car purchase options and safer, more energy-saving and more advanced smart travel experience.
Feng Xingya, Party Secretary, Chairman and General Manager of GAC Group, said: “This time, GAC and all parties are working together to invest in the construction of GAC Ogihara’s new digital factory, which is to promote the intelligent manufacturing of key components such as battery shells and body parts. Specializing in the research and development and industrialization of modular integrated die-casting processes, and explore modular assembly in combination with unboxing technology, and applying the world’s leading flexible production lines, AI quality inspection systems and digital twin technologies to create a source of innovation in parts technology and an intelligent benchmark factory. Provide strong support for the intelligent and lightweight development of new energy vehicles.”
2025 is the year when GAC Group’s “14th Five-Year Plan” ends, and it is also a critical year for the implementation of the three-year “Panyu Action” to be effective.
After the GAC high-quality development conference was held in early February, GAC Group acted quickly to promote the start of new digital factories, which fully demonstrated its courage to start construction at the beginning of the year and start war at the beginning of the year, and also demonstrated GAC Group’s resolute implementation of the three-year “Panyu Action”. “‘s determination.
