A new production line for sixth-generation millimeter-wave radar has started operation in Jiading district, Shanghai, highlighting the faster localization of smart driving component manufacturing.
The line was developed by German company AUMOVIO, which has operated in China for more than 30 years. It took just six months to build, half the time typically needed for similar projects in the past.
"All stages of the production line were completed by our local team and domestic supply chain," said Yao Linhong, factory operations director of AUMOVIO's Autonomous Driving and Mobility division.

The project covers the localization of equipment, production processes and quality testing, helping ensure that domestic solutions meet the company's high standards.
AUMOVIO now operates two sixth-generation millimeter-wave radar production lines in Loudang, with a combined annual capacity of more than 4 million units. Their overall equipment utilization rate has exceeded 85 percent.
The project reflects the growing capabilities of China's advanced manufacturing sector and its ability to support the fast-changing smart vehicle market.
