Automotive Engineering Corporation Wins the 2026 NIO Quality Partner Award
On June 26, the 2026 NIO Partner Day, themed "Facing Challenges, Growing Together," was held in Hefei. Dai Min, Chairman of Sinomach Automobile and Automotive Engineering Corporation, and Lin Tao, Deputy General Manager of Automotive Engineering Corporation, were invited to attend the event. With outstanding performance in technology, quality, service, and delivery, Automotive Engineering Corporation once again received the 2026 NIO Quality Partner Award.
In the lead-up to the Partner Day, the World Economic Forum (WEF) announced that NIO Factory Two had been officially recognized as a Global Lighthouse Factory. The "Lighthouse Factory" is regarded as a benchmark and guiding beacon for the digital and intelligent transformation of the manufacturing industry, and, due to its stringent selection criteria, is also known as one of the most advanced factories in the world. The factory was awarded this highest global manufacturing honor for its full-chain digital collaboration, application of AI agents, and sustainable low-carbon manufacturing capabilities. Previously, it had also received the "National Green Factory" designation from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the "Automotive Manufacturing Super Factory" title from the China Automotive Technology and Research Center.
The design, painting, and general assembly production equipment intelligent solutions for this world-class benchmark factory were all delivered by Automotive Engineering Corporation. From the early design stage of the plant, the company has been deeply involved throughout the entire project lifecycle. Through top-level design, it has strengthened the foundation for low-carbon intelligent manufacturing, and through a value co-creation model, it has driven technological breakthroughs and the application of AI technologies. These efforts have supported NIO in building a flexible, efficient, and green intelligent vehicle manufacturing system. With its strong engineering capabilities, Automotive Engineering Corporation has jointly created a new global benchmark for smart manufacturing factories.
During the event, senior executives from both sides held in-depth discussions on key topics including strategic planning and value co-creation synergy, further defining the direction for deepening their strategic cooperation in the future.
Looking ahead, Automotive Engineering Corporation will continue to deepen the integration and iterative development of advanced manufacturing and AI technologies, accelerate the in-depth implementation of digital intelligence empowerment, and remain closely aligned with the automotive industry's "dual carbon" goals. The company is committed to delivering more replicable and scalable intelligent low-carbon equipment solutions, empowering vehicle manufacturing upgrades with craftsmanship and precision engineering, and supporting the high-quality development of China's automotive industry toward globalization, premiumization, and green transformation.
