It’s not a good idea.System construction to create excellent quality
Lantu inherits Dongfeng’s more than 50 years of experience in the automotive manufacturing field, and combines the brand characteristics of high-end new energy vehicles to create a user-centered quality evaluation system, always providing users with a product experience that exceeds their expectations.
In terms of Product Research & Development, Lantu benchmarks international first-line brands, meets global regulations, takes into account European, North American, Asian and other working conditions standards, and builds a complete design and development standard system framework. Through ESSA’s native intelligent electric architecture, central centralized SOA electronic and electrical architecture, high-strength cage body and other self-developed cutting-edge technologies, it has laid the foundation for creating high-quality products.
In terms of trial production and manufacturing process, Lantu has established the VES vehicle evaluation standard and refined quality evaluation system: based on the VES evaluation standard, Lantu conducts more than 500 items such as appearance inspection, road test inspection, rain inspection, warehousing inspection, etc. on the off-line vehicles, and strictly checks the factory quality of the vehicle. With the goal of the refined quality evaluation system, Lantu conducts detailed evaluation and improvement on the user’s high-perception of materials, clearance, color difference, odor, vehicle operation, driving experience, etc., so that users can see, hear, hear, and touch, all presenting a well-crafted high-end enjoyment.
In terms of supply chain, Lantu is committed to being "the setter and leader of the quality system and technical standards for new energy vehicle suppliers", establishing and improving the supplier quality system evaluation standard (VQS), summarizing 12 core processes and their management requirements, which can systematically and comprehensively identify the quality weaknesses of suppliers, and focus on the control of processes that affect key and important characteristics, early warning of quality risks, and make targeted improvements. At the same time, LANTU combines the full-featured product special characteristic identification, the whole value chain process special characteristic guarantee network preparation and the supplier quality evaluation system (VQS) to realize the autonomy and control of high-value parts. The domestic air spring system, the lifting triple screen, the dimmable canopy, and the variable damping shock absorber of LANTU Dreamer on the LANTU FREE are all successful examples. In order to improve the delivery level of supplier parts quality, LANTU has established a supplier quality SSC evaluation and management mechanism, implemented targeted supervision and counseling for suppliers whose quality performance is not up to standard, and improved their quality capabilities; carried out "zero defects" and "zero re-issuance" positive incentives for suppliers with good quality performance, and built a new type of cooperative relationship with suppliers.
Lantu Automotive Intelligent Manufacturing Base
It’s not a good idea.Intelligent manufacturing empowers to create 0 bad products
Landmap stands by technology, empowers with intelligent manufacturing, continuously improves the production process, and controls the details. Through the application of cutting-edge manufacturing combined with cutting-edge digital technologies such as IoT, big data, and edge cloud, every detail of the product can be carefully crafted to create exquisite, sturdy, and safe products.
In the manufacturing process, Lantu uses numerical control hydraulic pad technology to match the high-speed synchronous stamping line produced by steel and aluminum mixed production, so that the error control of each process is at the industry first-class level (0.1mm), thus ensuring the production efficiency and quality stability of parts. In the welding factory with 100% automation coverage, Lantu uses laser welding, ARPLAS welding and traditional welding technology to combine, which not only ensures the strength stability and reliability of the car body, but also makes the car body feel more refined. 195 sets of high-precision servo tightening equipment on the Lantu assembly line, through the self-developed TMS digital torque control system, achieve 100% accurate control of the key torque of the whole vehicle, which can be traced back to the torque data of nearly 10 years.

Through the use of 5G and big data technology, Lantu’s latest generation of autonomous mobile backpack robots (AMR), integrated laser navigation and 5G + WIFI dual-mode communication, AI binocular vision + 3D laser fusion navigation and obstacle avoidance technology, can achieve automatic and accurate delivery of the final assembly line. In addition, Lantu has also built a digital twin of production that integrates digital workshops and physical workshops. Through AVI radio frequency identification, MES system, key process visualization and key equipment online monitoring and other technologies, lean production is realized to ensure zero defect rate of products.
It’s not a good idea.Strict testing to create high standards
High-quality products require high-level inspection and control.
From Product Research & Development to production, Lantu Automotive has set up strict quality verification procedures, including 50 nodes and 12,338 "devil training "-like verification projects. Lantu has carried out road durability tests on mass-produced test vehicles with a total mileage of more than 3 million kilometers, passing through Turpan, Kunlun Mountains, Dali, Hainan, Heihe and other places, experiencing dry heat, humid heat, dry cold, warm and other climatic conditions. The whole vehicle and battery system have undergone more than 1,000 kinds of road conditions and various extreme environments such as minus 40 ° C and high temperature 50 ° C to ensure the safety and stability of the vehicle under various extreme conditions, allowing users to have high-quality car enjoyment.
