Changan Automobile built a test facility with over 3 billion RMB in investment. It is the largest and most precise dynamic testing ground in Asia. It is also the only comprehensive automotive test site in western China and the only hilly terrain test site in the world. Every year, this facility tests about 4,500 vehicles. It covers over 20 million kilometers, equivalent to circling the Earth 500 times. Why did Changan invest heavily in this comprehensive automotive test site? Zhu Huarong explained that without a test site, they couldn’t meet Changan’s standards. Testing lacked depth, and they couldn’t control timelines. Quality is vital for the company. They do not want to entrust their future to others. The facility conducts numerous extreme tests daily to ensure product safety. During a live broadcast, the chairman revealed insights as an authoritative source. In today’s competitive environment, car manufacturers must prioritize quality and safety. By pushing boundaries, Changan continuously elevates its standards. “I cherish the title of engineer. It reflects my dedication and passion. I have tested every vehicle Changan has launched,” Zhu Huarong stated. A model subjected to extreme testing by the CEO ensures users can feel secure.
Every Changan car must run nearly 5 million kilometers on various road surfaces before its launch. This includes tests in extreme cold, extreme heat, and high-altitude conditions. These tests simulate 10 years and 260,000 kilometers of user experience. Changan’s approach ensures reliability. Changan prioritizes user quality and safety. The company invests heavily in repairing poor roads worldwide. This covers most real-world scenarios across countries. Zhu Huarong states that Changan must test all potential road conditions in extreme situations to solve problems. The discomfort during testing aims to ensure true comfort for users. Changan has 40 years of car manufacturing experience, building China’s testing and validation system. With a history of 162 years, Changan continues to embody a spirit of self-reliance and perseverance. In its third wave of innovation and entrepreneurship, the team works hard, faces challenges, and aims to produce high-quality vehicles for users.
