On June 22, the World Economic Forum announced that NIO Advanced Manufacturing Xinqiao Plant 2 had been recognized as a Global Lighthouse Factory.
6月22日,世界经济论坛(World Economic Forum, WEF)宣布,蔚来先进制造新桥二工厂获评全球「灯塔工厂」。
As competition in the electric vehicle market intensifies, higher requirements are being placed on product development efficiency, personalized customization, and deep collaboration across the full chain of research and development, manufacturing, and quality. According to the World Economic Forum, the real-time closed-loop advanced manufacturing system developed by NIO Advanced Manufacturing Xinqiao Plant 2 efficiently connects in-vehicle artificial intelligence, the battery swap network, and the digital-twin platform. Through technology-driven design and procurement, the system has accelerated time to market by 44%, automated 90% of research and development workflows, and enabled the management of more than 3.6 million vehicle configurations, putting customer-centricity into practice.
在电动汽车竞争加剧的当下,对产品开发效率、个性化定制以及研发-制造-质量全链路的深度协同等各方面都提出了更高要求。世界经济论坛认为,蔚来先进制造新桥二工厂搭建的实时闭环先进制造系统,将车载人工智能、换电网络和数字孪生平台进行了高效链接,通过技术驱动的设计和采购,将产品上市速度加快44%,并达成90%的研发工作流程自动化,能够管理超过360万种车辆配置,践行了以客户为中心。
The Lighthouse Factory initiative is a global program jointly launched by the World Economic Forum and McKinsey & Company to identify production facilities that have achieved outstanding results in the scaled application of Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies. Because of its strict neutrality and demanding evaluation criteria, the Lighthouse Factory designation is also regarded as recognizing “the world’s most advanced factories.”
「灯塔工厂」是由世界经济论坛与麦肯锡公司(McKinsey & Company)联合发起的一项全球性评选,旨在甄选在第四次工业革命技术规模化应用方面取得卓越成效的生产基地。因其严格的中立性与严苛的评选标准,「灯塔工厂」也被称为「世界上最先进的工厂」。
The Global Lighthouse Network, composed of Lighthouse Factories, represents a worldwide model for transforming digital technologies into new quality productive forces. It demonstrates how global manufacturing is moving from isolated optimization toward full value-chain collaboration and serves as a model for addressing challenges related to efficiency, resilience, and sustainability.
由灯塔工厂组成的全球灯塔网络,是数字技术转化为新质生产力的全球样本,代表着全球制造业正在从单点优化走向全价值链协同,也是全球制造业应对效率、韧性和可持续挑战的范本。

As a fully digitalized intelligent factory covering the entire value chain, NIO Advanced Manufacturing Xinqiao Plant 2 relies on advanced, independently developed, and continuously iterated industrial AI algorithms, AI foundation models, and a wide range of specialized industry models. As a result, AI now makes intelligent decisions in 80% of manufacturing scenarios.
作为一座全链路数字化智能工厂,蔚来先进制造新桥二工厂依托先进的自研并持续迭代的工业AI算法、AI大模型以及丰富的行业小模型,达成了80%制造场景由AI智能决策的效果。
Previously, NIO Advanced Manufacturing Xinqiao Plant 2 had been recognized as a National Green Factory by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and as an Automotive Manufacturing Super Factory by the China Automotive Technology and Research Center.
此前,蔚来先进制造新桥二工厂先后获评了工信部「国家级绿色工厂」、中汽中心「汽车制造超级工厂」等称号。
NIO Advanced Manufacturing Xinqiao Plant 2 was also designed from the outset to accommodate public visits. As a global smart electric vehicle company, NIO remains committed to the forward development of core technologies and seeks to deliver an end-to-end experience that exceeds user expectations through technological innovation in products, services, and communities. By opening its factories to visitors, NIO hopes to provide more users with an opportunity to observe and experience China’s intelligent manufacturing at close range. Since factory tours began in 2018, NIO’s two advanced manufacturing facilities have received nearly 300,000 visitors from around the world.
蔚来先进制造新桥二工厂还是一家从设计阶段就前置考虑了开放参观的工厂。作为一家全球化的智能电动汽车公司,蔚来坚持核心技术的正向研发,希望通过技术创新在产品、服务、社区等方面,给用户带去超越期待的全程体验,通过开放工厂参观,蔚来公司希望给更多用户增加一个近距离接触、观察中国智能制造的窗口。从2018年开放参观以来,蔚来公司的两家先进制造工厂,已接待了全球近三十万人次访客。

As an important component of NIO’s systemic innovation capabilities, the company’s advanced manufacturing system will take Lighthouse Factory standards as a new benchmark, deepen the integration of advanced manufacturing and AI, and lead the continued evolution of intelligent manufacturing in China. Through high-performance smart electric vehicles and an exceptional user experience, NIO aims to help create a more sustainable and better future.
作为蔚来公司体系创新能力的重要组成部分,蔚来先进制造体系将以「灯塔工厂」标准为新坐标,深耕先进制造与AI融合,引领中国智能制造持续进化,以高性能的智能电动汽车与极致用户体验,共创可持续和更美好的未来。
