With an area of 79,000 square meters, Beijing Automobile Works is the second large-scale automobile factory founded in China after the construction of Changchun First Automobile Works. In accordance with modern enterprise models, Beijing Automobile Works Co., Ltd. was founded in 2001, by integrating some resources from Beijing automobile industry. Now it owns two plants, one in Chaoyang District and the other in Shunyi District. The total productive capacity has surpassed 100,000 vehicles.

Final Assembly Process:
intelligent cab storage area with automatic control system for classifying, placing and extracting different types of cabs as required
2-segment interior assembly line: the first as a double-chain sled assembly line, with supporting equipment for different vehicle models. Through lift and rotary rolling machine, the cab comes down to the second segment of double-chain sled assembly line for completion.
EMS delivers the complete parts to integrate wagons and chassis of off-road vehicles and light trucks with chassis, and to bear the integration of wagon with back axle and hybrid power, then places it on the double-board floor chain.
Chassis assembly line is composed of two parts, bridge conveyor and double board conveyor, the former with chassis rotator.
Engine sub-assembly line for integration of engine and transmission, which is delivered to bridge conveyor by EMS, to assemble with frame. Engine storage area is equipped with cranes.
Rail type lift for assembling front axle and back axle with wagon, and EMS and KBK for assembling engine and wagon
Injection of different types of oil to complete vehicles with volume rating injectors.
Transport tires with WF4 suspension conveying chains.
Adopt fixed equipments to sub-assemble heat radiator, fuel tank, silencer, etc and place them around the assembly positions.
Pre-adjust the off-line vehicles in pre-adjustment area, and conduct final testing of coating and exterior in lamp corridor to select those unqualified for returning. Testing line is composed of wheel positioning, braking, sideslip, speed, emission analysis, rain exposure and the other testing facilities. The qualified vehicles get certificate and move to the parking lot. Beside the testing line is repairing area.

Paint Process:
According to the volume and quality of vehicles, combine spray and steeping in pretreatment and cathodic electrophoresis process, adopting continuous chain suspension for transport
Adopt 3-layer-3-baking system in the key process, namely, one bottom layer of cathodic electrophoresis, one middle layer, and two surface layers, which are sprayed"wet-to-wet"
Develop resources conservation and bake paint of middle layer and seal simultaneously
Painting, baking and grinding of putty, etc.
Welding Process:
Adopt workflow to reduce interval storage.
Apply fixed assembly table and mechanical transport for assembly welding of floor and wagon and assembly adjustment, and fixed assembly table for sub-assembly.
Spot welding,CO2 semi-auto welding and gas welding.
High efficiency welding arrangement, with 68 working positions for welding and adjustment of cabs of light trucks, 52 working positions for body welding and transport of Lu Ba jeeps and 17 for body adjustment of Lu Ba jeeps. For Su Wei series, 27 for welding and fixing of doors, 4 for edge coating of doors, 68 for welding assembly and transport. And 29 working positions for fixing, welding and transport of military vehicles
Press process:
2 advanced extra-large blanking lines, 5 shearing machines
8 large press lines, some small lines, and one automatic extra large line as backup. The largest surface of working table is 4600*2200, and the closure height is 1400. There are 60 punches, the total production of 35000 tons. Over 60% of the large punches are original machines imported from America or Germany with the globally leading comprehensive technology. By this chance, BAW will repair and upgrade all the equipments, adopting latest Siemens PLC in power system, and multi-layer and extra photo-electronic protections in mechanical system.
4 large-scale automatic transports
10 cranes, including 3 of 50 ton, 1 of 32 ton, 4 of 20 ton and 2 of 5 ton
Numerous module fixing machines.
Top rail in press workshop is 14.1meters high, including 2 30-metre spans and 6 24-metre spans
Intelligent management system
Workshops made of modern and advanced technology and materials
Shunyi Plant takes 310,000 square meters and 144,000 square meters of construction. With four major processing workshops, one testing workshop and one experimental workshop, it can produce 80,000 vehicles per year
Chaoyang plant occupies 79,000 square meters, with construction area of 58,000 square meters. Its welding, coating and assembly lines and complete public facilities support the capacity of more than 20,000 vehicles per year.
