SERES Commissions Dürr Paint Shop

New energy vehicle manufacturer SERES goes with Dürr for building a sustainable paint production process. Team ACI looks at the latest in a series of such steps.

SERES as a new energy vehicle manufacturer is focused on building sustainable processes across the value chain. To attain its goals, the company is partnering with like-minded partners. In a recent, critical move, the company is known to focus on intelligent electric drive technology and give equal impetus to sustainable production processes. It commissioned Dürr for a new paint shop in the Liangjiang plant in Chongqing in southwestern China. The operational move was fructified. It was able to optimise the production process for energy and resource efficiency.

With a Turn Around Time (TAT) of nine months after receiving the contract, Dürr is known to have installed both the plant and exhaust air purification technology as well as the software. “To meet the requirements of a production process that saves both resources and energy, we used especially sustainable products from plant and environmental engineering and installed our DXQ energy management solution,” explains Yu Lin, Vice President of the paint and final assembly business at Dürr China. SERES electric cars have been on the market since 2018, and the company is known to have shipped vehicles to over 70 markets since then. The aim is to become a major player in the European electric vehicle market. This ambition depends on the new paint shop in the Liangjiang plant in Chongqing that can complete 60 jobs per hour.
