The birthplace of Corolla Cross, visiting the real level of automobile manufacturing in Taiwan Province Province, where is the gap?
Here is a brief introduction to Guo Rui Automobile Company in Taiwan Province Province. The time goes back to 1980, when the economy of Taiwan Province Province took off (the Four Little Dragons in Asia). In order to develop heavy industry, an important measure on the island of Taiwan Province Province is to develop its own automobile industry. At that time, local government departments took the lead in setting up Huatong Automobile, a joint venture with General Motors. However, after three wonderful years, GM withdrew its capital, and the local government had to look for investors again. At that time, Taihe Hino Group proposed relevant technology transfer and personnel training plans to the government, which led to the opportunity for the two groups to set up Guo Rui Automobile, and also took over the Zhongli factory (the northern center of Taoyuan City) left by Huatong Company, becoming the production base of Guo Rui Automobile now.

Now Zhongli factory can be said to be the breeding base of God car, because the best-selling Altis and Corolla? Cross was born here. The two models can produce about 350 cars a day, which can cope with the average monthly sales of a single car. The order of 3000 units is more than enough, and there is even room to digest overseas orders; In addition, Zhongli factory has no R&D and production technology center, from the well-known Corolla Altis, Wei Zheng and Wish to the present Sienta Altis? GR? Sport and Corolla Cross were designed by the R&D team here, and even the overseas Lei Ling, Willanda and Fortuner were designed by the engineering team in Taiwan Province Province, which are actually no less than Japanese parent factories. Due to its outstanding performance, Guo Rui Automobile has become the only factory with development capability among Toyota's many overseas factories. (I wonder if I'm bragging)

Production Technology Center is an important unit to introduce the technology and equipment of Japanese parent factory into the production line, and plans the most efficient production line with the small and diverse market structure of Taiwan Province Province. At the same time, it can also produce the development ability of molds, including stamping dies, punching machines, welding fixtures and even automation equipment of production lines, which are developed and manufactured by production centers and even exported to countries all over the world. Even Lexus has used Guo Rui's design tools. At present, the localization rate of car parts produced in Guo Rui has reached 75%, which has promoted the business opportunities of related industrial chains and promoted the development of automobile industry in Taiwan Province Province. At the same time, in order to achieve the fastest communication efficiency with the Japanese parent factory, the heads of R&D department and production department have a certain level of Japanese ability, so it is not surprising that many slogans marked in Japanese can be seen in the factory.

What consumers are most concerned about is whether the quality of cars bought in made in taiwan is different from that of Japanese cars. Therefore, Guo Rui made public this production line that has not been made public for 36 years, so that the media can find out. Each company's production equipment and technology are similar, and quality requirements are usually the biggest key to determine the evaluation of vehicles and even the price of used cars in the market for many years. Guo Rui Zhongli Factory is divided into two areas. The first manufacturing department is responsible for the post of stamping, body engineering, forming engineering and painting engineering after steel participates in the factory. When you step into the production workshop, you can see that the steel coil to be produced today has been put aside and how much material is used for production. The steel produced online must be the freshest delivered on the same day, instead of the one that has been hardened for too long, so as to ensure that the materials of different suppliers can be kept in the best condition.

After the stamping process, enter the body engineering stage. After that, weld the sheet metal parts. On TV, the picture of mechanical arm welding sheet metal parts and striking fire is completed here, and gluing is also carried out here to ensure that every step can reach the most consistent state. Carola? Cross adopts the latest laser welding technology, and 3700 solder joints appear alternately, which can maintain stronger body rigidity and is also the largest number of Toyota cars. The quality inspector will also conduct spot checks on the solder joints from time to time to ensure that the welding head will not have doubts about the insufficient strength of the solder joints due to excessive use. After welding, quality inspectors will finally confirm whether the surface is defective by visual and tactile means. On that day, there were car door sheet metal parts with surface defects, trying to get the media to catch the defects, no matter what they were.

The molded car body is handed over to the second manufacturing department for parts assembly. After that, the instrument assembly, seat and interior panel assembly, engine and gearbox joints, power system and body joints were seen. On the assembly line, we found that all the positions prone to collision were separated by pink protective plates to avoid the risk of scratches and dents caused by unnecessary collision. Moreover, for each car, according to different matching items, full-time tallyman selects parts for different models and then sends them to the responsible assembler.

Japanese parent factory sends people to overseas factories for quality inspection every year, aiming at the accuracy and quality of drawings and the operation of real vehicles. 20 cars were randomly selected within two weeks, and each car was inspected for two hours. 1000 items have been * * *. Guo Rui factory has zero defects in small car projects for three consecutive years, and Hino has zero defects for four consecutive years.

Toyota has not only Guo Rui in Taiwan Province, but also Hetai. Its car-making technology is similar to that of Chinese mainland, but it has a strong bragging ability. Its power basically maintains the original flavor of Japanese cars, and there are few localized improvements, but it is really strict in quality control, and it is still worth learning!
