Guangqi Honda New Energy Plant, Officially Put into Operation!

On March 26, the new energy plant of Guangqi Honda Development Zone was announced to be put into operation. The plant is a zero-carbon new energy plant with an annual capacity of 120,000 vehicles and a total investment of 3.5 billion yuan. With a total investment of 12 billion yuan, the plant covers an area of 860,000 square meters and a planned annual capacity of 300,000 vehicles, it is Honda's first "super factory" designed from scratch and built for new energy models in the world. The factory deeply integrates Honda's global manufacturing experience with China's local innovation, with "digital intelligence" and "zero carbonization" as the core, redefining the intelligent manufacturing standard of new energy vehicles. The full servo production line of the stamping workshop is fast and automatic packing; Welding workshop welding is fully automated, with the first AI testing to ensure that the solder joints are fully qualified; The painting workshop uses advanced dosing machine and spray gun system combined with visual positioning to achieve 100% automatic gluing of the whole vehicle with a gluing accuracy of 0.5mm; The automation rate is nearly 3 times the level of the domestic automobile industry, and the introduction of automatic distribution AGV and direct supply conveyor line increases the logistics efficiency by 25%. In addition, major innovations have been made to the production process. At the material end, the world's first low-VOCS two-component varnish can reduce the emission of harmful substances in body painting by 80%; The zirconium film pretreatment process completely eliminates the phosphorus-containing waste residue and reduces the annual waste water by 120,000 tons. Energy side application 22MW distributed photovoltaic annual power generation exceeds 24 million KWH, meeting 30% of the plant's electricity demand; The waste heat recovery system converts 90% of the waste heat of the painting workshop into heating energy, reducing carbon by 12,000 tons per year. The recycling end realizes 100% recycling of stamping waste, and the recycling ratio of aluminum reaches 60%; The battery housing adopts 12,000 tons of integrated die-casting process, and the material utilization rate is increased by 20%.
