According to reports, the full-process production line trial production vehicle, also known as the TT (Tooling Trial) vehicle, is a trial production and debugging vehicle for full-process production according to the control plan before large-scale production. In the TT phase, vehicle products and process maturity will be closer to the requirements of mass production, and more extreme tests will be carried out. When the three core tasks of "mass production process document verification", "production line operator training" and "verification of production line manufacturing capabilities" are completed, the vehicle will enter the pre-production stage and prepare for mass production.
IT Home learned that Weilai said that as the first mass production model manufactured by its second production base, the official rollout of the ET5 full-process production line trial production vehicle also marked that the entire production base has achieved full production line penetration and officially entered the car verification stage. Construction of the production site began on April 29, 2021, and it took one year from breaking ground to the first batch of full-process production line trial vehicles rolling off the production line.
According to the plan, the production base will be officially put into operation in the third quarter of this year.
