Xiaomi Auto's Tongzhou production base is about to enter the sprint stage of production and commissioning. Xiaomi Group Chairman Lei Jun and Xiaomi Auto's senior executives have recently completed summer road tests of new cars in Xinjiang, in an effort to enter mass production of new cars as soon as possible after obtaining relevant approvals.
Xiaomi Auto's entire base includes six workshops: die-casting, stamping, bodywork, painting, final assembly and battery. Xiaomi cars may use advanced integrated die-casting technology similar to Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory, which means that the quality of Xiaomi cars will be further improved.
According to reports, Xiaomi cars are equipped with a 101kWh battery pack and support 800V high-voltage fast charging. Xiaomi Group President Lu Weibing previously stated that Xiaomi Motors has made progress beyond expectations and will maintain its mass production target for the first half of 2024.
On this basis, Jiemian News reported earlier this month that Xiaomi Motors has entered the trial production stage and is conducting comprehensive testing of production line equipment, process connection, and worker proficiency. It is reported that Xiaomi Motors produces about 50 prototype cars every week, and there are no night shift workers. A person familiar with the matter said, "Xiaomi Motors has only received approval from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in the past two months. It will be approved by the end of the year at the latest. Once the approval is received, Xiaomi Motors can immediately ramp up full-scale mass production of Xiaomi Motors."
As the smart car market gradually heats up, Xiaomi Automobile has attracted much attention. Xiaomi Motors' R&D team includes high-level technical talents from well-known car companies and technology companies such as Tesla, which has improved Xiaomi Motors' independent innovation capabilities and technical strength.
In addition, Xiaomi Auto’s positioning is also very clear: the pursuit of high quality and cost-effectiveness. Lu Weibing once said that Xiaomi Motors will "build a civilian brand and truly provide affordable and popular electric vehicles to all people." Xiaomi Auto's progress is basically in line with the previous expectations and actual needs of industry insiders.
As Xiaomi Auto is about to enter the mass production stage, Xiaomi's smart ecosystem and user base will provide strong support for Xiaomi Auto's sales and services. It is reported that Xiaomi Auto will be interconnected with products within the Xiaomi ecological chain to launch more intelligent, convenient and user-friendly automotive products and services.
The progress of Xiaomi Auto brings new choices to consumers. In the future, high quality and cost-effectiveness will be the two main factors for consumers to choose to buy electric vehicles. Xiaomi Auto will provide consumers with practical, smart and safe electric vehicle products, making cars a companion in life and bringing more convenience and happiness to consumers when traveling.
