In the Open Day event, you will visit the Chery Jaguar Land Rover Changshu plant and find the charm in the intelligent manufacturing of industry 4.0 up close. In addition to the press shop, body shop, paint shop and trim & final shop, you will also have the opportunity to take a look at the leading technology and high precision of the China’s first purpose-built aluminium body shop, quality center and engine plant. There are also interesting activities for you to experience!
Mainly responsible for 4 doors and 2 hoods, A/B/C Pillar, interior/exterior body side and floor panel production. Press shop is equipped with 3 press lines, and the automation rate of the whole line is as high as 90%, which is in advanced level in the world.
On running efficiency, the international advanced servo press line punches one piece every 3 seconds. More than that, by virtue of full automatic operation, press shop only takes about 10 minutes for the whole production line to stop and continue to run for mold change and quality inspection. In order to ensure the quality, parts are self-manufactured. The number of molds and self-made parts is large, and the self-made rate is also very high.
Mainly responsible for joint pressed panels together to form a complete body in white. The average time it takes to complete welding work for one car is just 120 seconds, and realises flexible assembly in main framing line with high precision.

Chery Jaguar Land Rover introduced the most leading, intelligent, green and premium aluminium technology into China in April 2016, building the China’s first purpose-built aluminium body shop and becoming the leading automotive manufacturer in China in respect of alumimium body production.
AL Body Shop adopts world-leading self-pierce riveting and adhesive joining technologies, achieving 100% SPR automatic ratio. In the AL Body Shop, Chery Jaguar Land Rover's leading technology is present everywhere, from production technology to the whole process quality control system. Chery Jaguar Land Rover, for example, is the first to introduce aviation-grade riveting technology, which not only solves the problem of joining different kinds of materials, but also significantly increases the strength of the body.
Mainly responsible for painting process after BIW. Chery Jaguar Land Rover adopts the innovative RO-DIP system, advanced dry spray painting system, unique pre-treated phosphating plus zirconizing process and CG800 ultra-high penetration electrophoretic paint, which, with the advanced process, saves energy and improves space utilisation.
Paint Shop has the global advanced dedicated contrast roof coating line in China, which adopts high-temperature shielding technology (up to 220 °C), and can provide contrast colors according to customer needs. At present, 12 body colors and 4 roof colors are available for high-end customisation.
Mainly responsible for the overall assembly of the vehicle, it is the final stage of the automobile manufacturing process. The quality of the vehicle is ultimately guaranteed by the trim & final Shop. Chery Jaguar Land Rover’s trim & final shop integrates quality, intelligence and environmental protection, and is the demonstration intelligent workshop of Jiangsu Province.
T&F Shop One’s intelligent equipment accounts for 91.5% of the entire equipment in the workshop. T&F Shop Two, while continuing the manufacturing of "intelligence", furthers intelligent upgrading and deepens the application of intelligent manufacturing. Trim & Final Shop adopts the leading intelligent equipment, such as automatic sunroof installation robot, automatic door strips inlaying device, heavy-duty lifting fixtures (HEMS), and automatic chassis assembly platform. Flexible manufacturing allows for the simultaneous processing of different vehicles, improves efficiency and assembly quality.
In July 2017, Chery Jaguar Land Rover Engine Plant, Jaguar Land Rover's first overseas engine plant, was completed and open, achieving the machining capacity of 180,000 units, and the assembly capacity of 240,000 units.
