The Ulsan Plant of Hyundai Motor Company (South Korea) is one of the world's largest single-site automobile manufacturing bases, located in Ulsan Metropolitan City in the southeast of South Korea. The first factory of the Ulsan Plant was established in 1968; currently, it covers an area of approximately 5 million square meters and has an annual output of about 1.4 million vehicles (accounting for roughly 30% of Hyundai's global total production). Composed of 5 independent production zones with clear division of labor, the plant manufactures a full range of vehicles, from traditional internal combustion engine cars to luxury brand models.
Relying on advanced technology, solid product quality, and comprehensive pre-sales and after-sales services, Tonghe Intelligence has won the trust and favor of Hyundai Motor Company. Since last year, Tonghe Intelligence has continuously supplied equipment such as interior assembly lines, final assembly lines, and completion lines for Hyundai's EV plants. By implementing a 24-hour shift system and lean production management, the company ensures the quality and quantity of production tasks are met. The performance of its products has exceeded customer expectations, and "zero-defect" delivery has been achieved in strict compliance with customer customization requirements, significantly improving the customer's production capacity. During the acceptance inspection, the customer stated, "The full collaboration, integrity, and reliability of Tonghe Intelligence are important reasons for us to choose long-term cooperation."
In addition, Tonghe Intelligence is simultaneously carrying out a supply project for Rivian Automotive, USA. Rivian Automotive is an American electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer focusing on electric pickup trucks, SUVs, and commercial vans, renowned for its high performance, off-road capabilities, and sustainable design. Founded in 2009, the company is headquartered in Irvine, California, with its main production base located in Normal, Illinois.
Facing pressure to ramp up production capacity, Rivian had extremely high requirements for "flexibility + fast delivery". Tonghe Intelligence stood out from the competition among many industry peers, successfully secured the order from Rivian (USA), and completed the delivery of the second batch of goods in June. As Rivian accelerates its global market layout, this cooperation with Tonghe Intelligence is not only a milestone for Chinese smart equipment "going global" but also sets a new benchmark for Sino-USnew energy industry collaboration.
Project for a Leading New Energy Vehicle Brand in the USA
As part of its 2025 production capacity sprint plan, this leading new energy vehicle brand required its new production line to simultaneously meet the "impossible trinity" of indicators: a 15% reduction in unit cost, model changeover time of less than 30 minutes, and Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) of over 90%. Tonghe Intelligence won the bid with an extreme delivery cycle of less than 60 days and an excellent production line manufacturing track record. Faced with practical challenges such as tight delivery schedules, high technical complexity, and supply chain difficulties, the entire company collaborated closely to overcome specific technical bottlenecks and ensure customer satisfaction.
"Customers' trust is the driving force for our progress," emphasizedthe CEO of Tonghe Intelligence at the celebration ceremony. "We will continue to optimize our technological innovation and service system to create value for more partners!"
