The quality of Chinese production car engine production facility ranked highest in the world the Honda system. Yesterday, learned from the Dongfeng Honda Automobile Co., Ltd., Dongfeng Honda already has 20 million engine assembly, engine production and 12 million casting processing capacity, the production of the Honda engine assembly a number of indicators to benchmark the level of global production factories (outside the region negative rate of 0.7% or less), especially the cylinder head casting level ranked first in global factories Honda, cylinder block casting level of the top five.

    February 2004, Dongfeng Honda, a project put into operation, annual production capacity of 30,000 vehicle and engine assembly production capacity. December 2005, Dongfeng Honda officially started construction of 12 million engines, in March 2007, machining the project is completed. Dongfeng Honda Engine machining project from the cylinder block, cylinder head composed of two production lines, the design capacity of 12 million units / year, the production Civic 1.8L, CR-V2.0L engine block and cylinder head. The production line using flexible manufacturing systems, multi-line varieties were produced, since only a small amount of investment needed to reach 24 million units and to add new models. In 2008, Dongfeng Honda Engine casting also completed projects. As a result, Dongfeng Honda basically had the engine manufacturer of casting, machining, assembly of the process, the end of the River "a vehicle without the engine" of history. May 2009, Dongfeng Honda has built a new powertrain assembly plant, initially set to reach 20 million units / year powertrain production scale. Last year, Dongfeng Honda's car sales more than 210,000, the company Ministry of engine manufacturing production scheduling arrangements, at a high degree of support to meet the demand, reduce production costs.

    Dongfeng Honda Engine casting number of indicators of how to achieve the benchmark level of the Honda system? Dongfeng Honda Engine Manufacturing Vice Minister of introduction, from the introduction of process equipment, the company by learning from other sister units of Honda and Dongfeng experience, combined with process characteristics and their own reality, optimization of the imported equipment. If the original low pressure die casting to improve the air pressure inert gas nitrogen pressure, the cooling of the workpiece by the roller conveyor line cooling is optimized for hanging cooling. Through the strengthening of personnel training, strict management and collaborative production, so that casting rhythm and a steady control of the production parameters. In addition, introduction of innovative robotic tooling system to replace the existing manual spray painting, not only improve the quality of spraying, and effective operations to protect employee safety and health. Currently, the robot mold coating system has been tested through three rounds of this year is expected in March in volume production. After completion of the project, Dongfeng Honda will be Honda's system, the only domestic auto industry and even the use of advanced robotic systems for die casting before the spraying business.

    Dongfeng Honda powertrain assembly plant Civic 1.8L, CR-V2.0L, 2.4L, 2.4L Platinum Rui Si powertrain four models is the Honda chassis of the world's first suspended prior to the engine with the same total power out into the form of supplier factories. Use of the assembly line conveyor line and the air friction roller hanging wire composition, this approach not only improves the transmission efficiency, but also reduce the plant noise, for staff to create a comfortable working environment. In 2009, the plant back into the engine management system, security and important function of parts, QA equipment, important positions in the job information to automatically record, each engine manufacturer has detailed resume can be queried. Because of reliable quality assurance system, Dongfeng Honda factory without the need for the existing hot and cold tests, direct foreign shipments out of the Honda quality standards in the manufacturing system the forefront.

    Dongfeng Honda executive vice president Chenbin Bo said China has a production capacity of the local motor vehicle factory made one of the few, Dongfeng Honda in Wuhan only one. To meet growing market demand, Dongfeng Honda has started construction to expand the Spring Festival this year will form the 240,000 vehicle production capacity, with 24 million units next year, engine capacity.

    Wuhan Automobile Industry Development Zone for 15 years, has gathered seven automobile companies, but the gearbox is still part of the core components from the field. This year, the Wuhan Development Zone, will usher in the great development of the automobile industry, in addition to DPCA Plant put into operation in Wuhan, Dongfeng Honda Plant construction started in the year, the zone will be dedicated to the introduction of automobile engines, transmissions, automotive electronics and other core critical zero components. Currently, Dongfeng own-brand passenger car engine companies are actively promoting the project, expected to start construction this year, is expected in 2011.
