On July 27, Avatr Technology officially opened a new vehicle production plant developed in partnership with Changan Automobile, Huawei, China Unicom, and other industry partners. The facility is designed for flexible production, with connected systems throughout the manufacturing process.

Avatr Technology hosted a livestream walkthrough of its newly operational vehicle production plant, offering the public a guided look at its manufacturing systems. During the broadcast, factory staff led viewers through various sections of the plant, providing on-site explanations of automated body welding, real-time quality inspection, and final vehicle assembly.

Avatr says the plant integrates several digital systems, including automation, 5G network equipment, AI analytics, and data tracking infrastructure. Each component on the line is connected through a unified platform that enables real-time data transmission and full traceability from order to final vehicle output.

Avatr claims the production line operates with a high level of automation, capable of completing one vehicle every 60 seconds. The facility supports the production of multiple vehicle types on the same line, allowing for different powertrains and custom configurations. Avatr says it can accommodate over 1,200 individual order variations. The site uses 369 monitoring points, 26 quality checkpoints, and AI-assisted visual inspection systems across 73 workstations. Each assembly station is equipped with smart torque wrenches, valued at up to 200,000 yuan (approx. 27,900 USD), that detect incorrect torque in real time and provide automated alerts to ensure fastening accuracy.

Avatr says that each workstation features real-time displays showing current tasks, components used, and digital instructions. Robotic systems handle key installations, including panoramic roofs, glass, and doors. Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) coordinate part delivery throughout the assembly floor. A modular battery line supports pack configurations ranging from 400V to 800V.

Alongside the plant’s opening, Avatr confirmed that it will soon introduce a flagship SUV developed jointly with Huawei. The vehicle will be part of the company’s broader expansion plan, which includes 17 new models by 2030, covering sedans, SUVs, sports cars, and MPVs. Avatr has set a long-term target of reaching 800,000 annual vehicle sales globally.

The company reported that it sold 73,000 vehicles in 2024, more than double its 2023 total. For the first half of 2025, Avatr maintained year-over-year growth, with monthly sales exceeding 10,000 units for four consecutive months.

Avatr began its international rollout in 2024, entering 25 countries and regions, including markets in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Models were introduced in Thailand and Dubai with pricing ranging from 500,000 to 700,000 yuan (approximately 69,800 to 97,700 USD). In July 2025, the company signed distribution agreements with partners in Jordan and Egypt, and launched the Avatr 11 in Singapore.

Separately, Changan Automobile opened an automated factory in Chongqing on October 21, 2024, featuring over 800 intelligent devices, 1,400 robots, and more than 650 autonomous guided vehicles. Key manufacturing processes are fully automated, and the factory is designed to produce up to 280,000 vehicles annually, with a capable production rate of 60 seconds. The plant integrates advanced 5G and industrial IoT technologies, connecting over 12,000 devices to improve production efficiency. It also includes a 36-megawatt distributed solar power system that provides approximately 19% of the factory’s electricity consumption, as reported by People News.
