Grab, rotate, and lower ......With a slight rhythmic sound, yellow and white robotic arms are constantly waving back and forth in the air, and parts are constantly flowing between different workbenches, as if playing a silent symphony of automated production lines.

This is what I have seen and heard at the production site of the southwest production base project of Konghui Technology recently.
Walking into the production workshop, a new highly automated production line is running non-stop.
At the other end of the workshop, in front of a car chassis full of cool technology, the staff showed the reporter the final results of the production line - with the staff gently touching the control panel, the car chassis in front of it also changed height.

This is where air suspension comes in, not only for a significant increase in comfort, but also for a quick increase in chassis height. The staff member introduced. The reporter found that with the inflatable and depressurized suspension, the chassis was displaced up and down by more than 10 centimeters.
At present, our production line in Chongqing has entered the trial production stage. Zheng Liang, project leader of Konghui Technology's southwest production base, introduced that it was the air suspension system that he saw in front of him, which was installed on VOYAH FREE in June 2021It has ended the history of domestic passenger car air suspension system pre-installed supply resources

According to reports, Kong Hui Technology is currentlyIdeal L7, Ideal L9, VOYAH Free, VOYAH Dreamer, VOYAH Chasing Light, AVATR 12and other 9 modelsExclusive supplier of air suspension system or air spring assembly, which is also domestic currentlyThe only dual-chamber gas spring** quotient。So far, Konghui Technology has obtained the fixed-point supply qualification of more than 40 models from 15 car companies, and the supply volume will increase significantly year by year in the future.

In fact, last year, our cooperation project with Chang'an has been finalized, in order to serve customers more timely and effective, we are preparing to 'enter' the southwest region in this year's strategic layout. Zheng Liang said that at that time, the investment promotion team of Science City went to Huzhou for an inspection and came to oneGo both ways, can be described asProgress is rapid——In April 2023, the company visited Science City on the spot, and only used2 daysIt's finalizedSettle down, and thenOne month to determine the locationConstruction program,In September, the production line was in placeEarly NovemberYesMass productionAbility.

According to the previous agreement, Konghui Technology will lay out and build an automotive air spring assembly and electronically controlled suspension production line in Science City, and actively introduce upstream and downstream supporting enterprises to buildAir suspension-related industrial clusters。The output value will be reached after the project is fully put into production3 billion yuan
The data shows that in October, Konghui Technology's domestic air suspension market share has reached 422%, positionNo. 1 in the countryAs of November 30, a total of 300,000 sets of air spring assemblies have been delivered. As a leading enterprise in the field of air suspension in China, Kong Hui will gradually launch new products such as closed air suspension system, CDC shock absorber, active lateral stabilizer bar, and chassis domain controller from 2024 to 2025.

The reporter learned that according to the SOP time point of the designated models, Konghui Technology is expected to achieve 801 million sets of airborne deliveries in 2024, and the southwest production base project of Konghui Technology will be indispensable.
Changchun Konghui, the predecessor of Konghui Technology, was founded in 2007 by Mr. Guo Konghui, the first academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and the first academician of the automotive industry, and in 2018, he saw that China's automobile brands were upward and the configuration was gradually high-end, and the air spring would inevitably usher in the trend of demand explosionThis year, the domestic market share has surpassed that of well-known foreign enterprises, ranking first。Zheng Liang said that the Kong Hui technology team has been deeply involved in the field of automotive chassis suspension for more than ten years, and finally broke through and mastered the key technology of electronically controlled suspensionIt makes up for the shortcomings of China's air suspension technology, breaks the technology monopoly of foreign companies, helps the localization of key subsystems of new energy vehicles, and improves the basic support capacity for the development of China's new energy vehicle industry

The person in charge of the CRRC Guochuang project once commented when Kong Hui received Series B financing: "In the domestic automotive industry, the phenomenon of 'stuck neck' generally exists in high-end technical fields such as engines and chassis electronic control systems, and penetrates into the development process, process equipment, components and materials. Konghui Technology has adhered to independent technological innovation and positive technology development for many years, and with the listing of VOYAH FREE, it has taken the lead in breaking the overseas monopoly in the field of air suspension. Kong Hui Technology has compound talents across multiple disciplines and many years of development experience, and is optimistic about Kong Hui's technical strength in the field of air suspension and chassis. ”

Some industry insiders believe that under the background that Chongqing is striving to build a "33618" modern manufacturing cluster system and focusing on building three trillion-level leading industrial clusters of intelligent networked new energy vehicles, a new generation of electronic information manufacturing and advanced materials, the industry leader Kong Hui Technology has increased the Science CityIt will not only fill the gap in the industry of air suspension, the core component of the city's high-end new energy vehicles, but also provide a strong boost for the construction of a world-class intelligent networked new energy vehicle industry cluster
