On February 18, the second phase of the capacity expansion of the Aion Intelligent Ecological Factory was completed and the first new car, the AION LX Plus, rolled off the production line.
It is worth mentioning that it took only 15 days to complete the capacity expansion and achieve production. The rapid expansion of the second phase of production capacity is also due to the world's leading process technology and efficient EIAN production methods, including: the use of digital twin and big data technology, real-time simulation of virtual commissioning, saving 30% of the commissioning time, followed by the use of Lego-style module pre-assembly, batch independent assembly to increase the installation efficiency by 40%.
Since its inception in 2017, Aeon has continued to double its sales volume year after year, with an average annual compound growth rate of nearly 130%. In 2021, the cumulative sales volume of Aean exceeded 123,660 units, an increase of 119% year-on-year, and the annual sales target of 100,000 vehicles was rushed ahead of the line.
As the world's leading intelligent ecological factory and the first intelligent pure electric exclusive factory in China, Aean Intelligent Ecological Factory has four global leading advantages: flexible production of steel and aluminum body, digital independent decision-making, interactive customization, and comprehensive utilization of energy.
In addition to the improvement of production capacity, with the help of the world's leading process technology and the application of materials, it has achieved its own upgrading and comprehensive evolution, with a 45% increase in production efficiency and a 35% increase in customization capabilities. Among them, thanks to the world's leading steel spot welding and aluminum hot melt drill fast switching technology, Aeon can achieve up to 10 different types and collinear production of steel and aluminum material body; the industry's first source data classification regular and distributed edge server, to achieve data standardization and multi-channel batch collection, equipment networking rate of more than 98%, acquisition speed of less than 300ms, for the industry's highest level; the world's first Aeon rapid color change system, color change time reduced from 7 days to 45min, Achieve up to 25 colors of personalized customization in the world; the world's first digital transparent production process, seamless connection and real-time synchronization of user personalized customized data, to achieve 100% digital dispatch to guide production.
