Body Plant

NAVECO Body Plant produces mainly the body and frame of various models in IVECO Daily range and Power Daily range. Its yearly production capacity is 60000 bodies and 200,000 longitudinal beams.

NAVECO Body Plant is a technology-intensive manufacturing plant of modern equipment. It has a certain capability of design, development and prototyping integrating three main processes of stamping, welding and painting. There are more than 600 sets of product equipment, most of which are imported from abroad.

The 3000-ton and 4000-ton pressing machine produced by Clearing UK and WeinGarten Germany can guarantee that the longitudinal beam will be shaped just by one pressing, so that the load ability and safety of vehicle can be reliably assured. We are the first one in Chinese automotive industry to possess the large-size pressing equipment. Three dual-action pressing lines of 1500 tons, 1000 tons and 800 tons that produced by Mecfond and Rovetta Italy carry out the production of big body covering parts of various models.

Body Plant has the complete set of final welding line introduced from ITCA Italy for the Daily range bodies, and the set of final welding line made in Korea for Power Daily range bodies. 17 sets of COMAU welding robots and 5 sets of ABB welding robots carry out the main operation of body welding. With the firm welding and even weld dots, the quality welding of body is ensured.

Most of the body painting equipment is designed and introduced from Italy. The pre-treatment of phosphorization adopts the low-temperature three-element process, and the primer applies the thick-film cathode cataphoresis. The to-and-fro static high-speed spray cup and ABB robot are applied respectively on the two coating lines. The paint film of cataphoresis is thick, and the coating has high ustrousness, can resist against the impact and aging. There are two standard colors for the body painting, Alps white and metallic blue, six optional colors, diamond white, ruby red, grass green, dreaming blue, light green, orange pearl

The advanced lineation machine with 3-dimension measurement is applied to normalize the measurement for body assembly and sub-assembly. The portable 3-dimension measuring machine imported from Metionoi Norway is applied for the positioning and measuring of tooling and jigs. With those, the effective and accurate basis is provided for the quality improvement of body.

The plant has passed the certification for quality management system in accordance with ISO9001 ?F 2000, certification for environment management system in accordance with ISO14001, ?g3C?h certification for compulsory testing on products organized by China Quality Certification Center, and the certification in accordance with National Army Standards GJB-9001A-2001.

In December 2002, the plant was honored with the tile of ?g Environmental Friendly Enterprise of Jiangsu province?h. It passed the acceptance examination for clean production organized by the provincial and municipal Environment Bureaus and the municipal Economy Committee in April 2003, being granted with tiles of ?g Green Grade Enterprise?h and ?g First lot of Environment Friendly Enterprises of Jiang Su province?h.
