Located in Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian province in southeastern China, is a state-of-the-art automotive facility that boasts an impressive manufacturing pace of one car every 100 seconds, all while maintaining a strong commitment to sustainability.

This is Jetour’s “Dark Factory”, referred to as such because of the advanced automation and robotics utilised where minimal human intervention is required during production.

Jetour’s Fuzhou Factory also incorporates several sustainable and environmentally friendly practices, with efforts including energy-efficient technologies, the use of renewable energy, waste reduction and recycling, and water-saving solutions.

With Jetour expanding globally at a rapid pace, this Fuzhou factory enables the production of intelligent, advanced and digitised vehicles for global customers, with an annual capacity of 200 000 units, with plans to double its output to 400 000 units per year after expansion plans which begin this year.

The Fuzhou Factory has a complete vehicle manufacturing process, including stamping, welding, painting and assembly. In the welding workshop, all welding points are performed automatically by robots. With its advanced manufacturing system, the facility not only assures an average manufacturing pace of 100 seconds per car but also meets the demand for flexible manufacturing. Its multi-model production capability means that the factory can shift focus based on changes in customer demand, with four models on two platforms at any given time. 

Jetour has also implemented an advanced material management system, with autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and automatic guided vehicles (AGVs) efficiently managing daily logistics within the factory. The AMRs intelligently drive along preset paths to transport parts, improving production efficiency daily.

In the coating facility, programmed robots complete 18 tasks per hour, averaging 200 seconds per car. This high-quality painting process prioritises energy efficiency, automation, high quality and intelligence.

The final assembly line includes unmanned tire assembly and CNC robot bonding technology for windshield installation significantly improving sealant precision for rain proofing and noise reduction

By leveraging big data and AI, Jetour’s Fuzhou facility processes a “smart brain” that monitors efficient quality control across all aspects. Through a “0+3″manufacturing approach, Jetour pursues “Zero Defects” in products, 100% error-proof assembly, 100% qualified vehicle inspection, and 100% traceability of quality information.

Since launching in 2018, Jetour has sold more than 1.46 million vehicles across 62 countries. Locally, the brand has sold over 1 500 vehicles since launching in September last year with their Dashing and X70 Plus models.

Besides these Jetour Dashing and X70 Plus models, as well as the T1 and T2 series which should be available locally within the next year, the Fuzhou factory will be producing eight new products over the next two years, covering the urban SUV series, the off-road SUV series, and the pickup series. Jetour will soon begin to progressively introduce hybrid products into international markets, striving to become the leading brand in the hybrid electric off-road SUV segment as well.
