Among them, the second factory has the first automatic lifting platform in the world, which not only greatly improves the production efficiency, but also reduces the labor intensity of workers.

For example, in terms of body safety, Honda FUNTEC technology is widely used in vehicle production, and the unique ACE safety body structure is used, and the crew cabin is made of high-strength steel, which greatly improves the safety performance of vehicles produced by Dongfeng Honda. This is also the reason why the safety performance of CR-V, Civic and other models has always been a benchmark in the industry.
