Targeting 1 Million Vehicles in 2026? Xiaomi's Wuhan Factory Construction Update
2000-mu Super Site: An area equivalent to three XPeng Wuhan factories, adjacent to Lotus/Dongfeng Yunfeng, forming a central China new energy industry epicenter;
Construction Site Footage: Foundation construction and land leveling are progressing simultaneously; Shanghai Benteler's welding line to commence operation in May 2025.
Production Capacity Ambition: To contribute to Xiaomi's production and sales exceeding one million units in 2026, with the Wuhan factory contributing 30% of production capacity.
Wuhan Location May Reshape Central China's New Energy Industry Chain
01
Industry Chain Advantages
As a traditional automotive manufacturing center, Wuhan boasts dozens of vehicle manufacturers and thousands of parts companies. Local companies like Dongfeng Motor can also provide extended-range technology support, such as Dongfeng's Mach extended-range system with an oil-to-electricity conversion rate of 3.66 kWh/L. By leveraging local industry chain resources, Xiaomi can reduce production costs and improve supply chain efficiency.
02
Regional Radiation Capability
Wuhan's strategic location, known as the "thoroughfare of nine provinces," can radiate the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta, and the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle, significantly reducing vehicle transportation costs. After the Wuhan factory's launch, the central China region will form an integrated "R&D-manufacturing-sales" industrial closed-loop. It is estimated that the region's new energy vehicle production will account for 25% of the national total by 2027.
03
Policy Benefits
Hubei Province offers new energy vehicle trade-in subsidies of up to 20,000 yuan, while the Wuhan Economic and Technological Development Zone provides an additional 2,000-6,000 yuan in consumer vouchers directly deductible from vehicle purchase costs, boosting Xiaomi's market promotion. Furthermore, the Wuhan Economic and Technological Development Zone provides subsidies for the intelligent transformation of new energy equipment companies (up to 10 million yuan) and digital upgrade rewards (up to 5 million yuan). Local companies enjoy priority access to land and approvals.

Main Models
Xiaomi's third model, the N3 (extended-range SUV), is confirmed for production at the Wuhan factory. This model features rear-wheel steering technology and is scheduled for launch in 2026. In addition, the high-end SUV with the internal codename "Kunlun" (positioned to compete with the AITO M9) may also be produced here. Its extended-range version is expected to have a pure electric range of 300 kilometers, targeting the high-end market.
Technical Cooperation
The in-car ecological screen jointly developed by Xiaomi and Wuhan Huaxing Optoelectronics has been applied to the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra. Wuhan's developed 2K LTPO flexible screen technology further strengthens Xiaomi's automotive intelligence competitiveness.

In terms of battery technology, the 16C super-charging Kirin battery (400 kilometers of range in 5 minutes of charging) in the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra is comparable to XPeng's 800V high-voltage platform, driving local battery companies to accelerate the research and development of cutting-edge technologies such as solid-state batteries and sodium-ion batteries.
Equipment Suppliers' Prospects
✅ 20 Billion Yuan Procurement Budget : Demand for basic equipment such as welding and stamping, ultra-fast charging, solid-state batteries (dry electrode/interface modification equipment), and battery R&D and production (coating/winding/formation/testing). Battery-related equipment demand alone may exceed 80 billion yuan;
✅ Priority for Local Suppliers: Companies within 30 kilometers of the Wuhan Economic and Technological Development Zone will be directly added to Xiaomi's supply chain "whitelist";
2000 R&D Personnel Expected to Settle in Wuhan?
Xiaomi started recruiting for key positions at the Wuhan factory in January 2025, including project managers and environmental, health, and safety management positions, and formed a professional team to promote project implementation. The Wuhan Economic and Technological Development Zone plans to build new energy vehicle talent apartments, expecting to attract 20,000 R&D personnel by 2025, providing a sufficient reserve of technical talent for equipment companies.

Chaodian Conclusion
The establishment of Xiaomi's Wuhan automotive factory marks the entry of the central China region's new energy industry chain into a period of deep integration. Relevant new energy equipment and industries need to focus on technological foresight and localized services to seize the structural opportunities brought about by industrial clusters.
It is recommended to focus on ultra-fast charging equipment, solid-state battery production lines, and intelligent transformation, while establishing flexible cooperation models to cope with market uncertainties.
Wuhan Chaodian Technology, as a leading local new energy R&D equipment supplier, leverages regional policy advantages and collaborates with universities, research institutes, and new energy R&D companies to establish a differentiated competitive advantage in the central China market.
