Lantu insists on positive research and development, builds its own "moat" with technological innovation, and firmly holds the development initiative in its own hands. Lantu strengthens original and leading scientific and technological research, aims to continuously improve the technical level of intelligent cockpit, intelligent driving, new energy and other fields, and uses technological innovation as traction to create an efficient R & D system and institutional mechanism, driving continuous breakthroughs in the fields of electrification, intelligence, modularization, and generalization. A number of industry-leading innovative technologies have been formed, including ESSA native intelligent electric architecture, central centralized SOA electronic and electrical architecture, intelligent driving and cloud platform, developer platform, 800V fast charging, and integrated thermal management module. The core technology has basically realized full-stack self-research. Lantu’s self-developed ESSA native intelligent electric architecture is a multi-power architecture under positive development, shortening the development cycle by at least 12 months. Lantu’s central centralized SOA electronic and electrical architecture is a leading "software-defined vehicle" architecture, which integrates vehicle control, power, intelligent driving, and intelligent cockpit into one, bringing a higher-order intelligent driving experience and more diverse vehicle to everything. Facing the future, Lantu actively develops cutting-edge technologies such as hydrogen power, solid-state batteries, asynchronous motors, and hub motors, and conducts multi-technology roadmap layout to enhance the enterprise’s technical reserve.

Due to Dongfeng’s half-century of vehicle manufacturing accumulation and control of cutting-edge production technologies, Lantu has built its own intelligent manufacturing factory, built an automated, flexible, intelligent, and green production system, and relied on Dongfeng’s strong resource integration capabilities to create a complete and high-quality supply chain system, ensuring that production capacity and supply chain safety are firmly in its own hands.
Lantu Automotive Intelligent Manufacturing Base
Lantu’s efficient and intelligent stamping workshop, fully automatic welding workshop, dust-free intelligent and environmentally friendly coating workshop, fully automatic resin workshop and digital final assembly workshop can simultaneously meet the collinear random mixed flow production of 5 models such as cars, MPVs, and SUVs. The automation and flexibility capabilities are industry-leading. Among them, stamping, welding, resin and other workshops achieve 100% automated production. Using 5G and big data technology to integrate production and manufacturing, Lantu builds a digital twin of production that integrates digital workshop and physical workshop. Through technologies such as AVI radio frequency identification, MES system, and key process visualization and key equipment online monitoring, lean production is realized to ensure "zero defect rate" of products.
In terms of supply chain, Lantu focuses on the whole life cycle of automobile production, uses a large number of Chinese ** suppliers, and collaborates with enterprises in Hubei Province and Wuhan to help the transformation and upgrading of high-end new energy automobile industry in Hubei Province, and coexists and evolves with suppliers.
