Hidden behind the sprawling industrial parks of the Yangtze River Delta in the eastern part of the Chinese mainland is a car-making “super zone” where every step of the process—from stamping steel to final diagnostics—runs on smart, data-driven systems. CGTN's Wang Tianyu went deep inside multiple factories in the auto industrial chain to uncover why this region holds the edge.
At the heart of each plant, automated assembly lines hum in sync. High-precision robots weld, paint, and assemble chassis with millimeter accuracy, while AI-powered quality checks flag any deviation in real time. Builders now integrate LiDAR modules directly on the line, pairing advanced sensors with vehicles destined for markets worldwide.
Logistics hubs dotting the zone connect factories to deep-water ports and high-speed rail links, slicing shipping times and cutting costs. This seamless transport network ensures that finished vehicles leave the region faster than ever, rolling out of docks bound for Europe, Southeast Asia, and beyond.
What makes this cluster stand out is its integrated ecosystem: local suppliers, tech startups, and research labs collaborate under one roof, speeding innovation cycles. From green battery chemistries to next-gen infotainment systems, new features graduate from prototypes to production in record time.
As global demand for smarter, more connected cars surges, the Chinese mainland's auto super zone has set the standard for the future of manufacturing—where speed, scale, and advanced tech propel vehicles from its eastern shores to roads around the world.
