Hubei Kaili Special Automobile Co., Ltd. is a key enterprise in Suizhou. Since its establishment in 2016, it has adhered to its core values, leveraging innovation and quality as its foundation to achieve leapfrog development and become an important force driving industrial upgrading in Suizhou. This award is an affirmation and expectation of its past achievements, management team, and future development.
Hubei Kaili Special Automobile Co., Ltd. has consistently adhered to innovation-driven development. The company has invested heavily in R&D, established innovation platforms, and engaged in in-depth cooperation with universities and research institutions such as Wuhan University of Technology and the Hubei Special Purpose Vehicle Research Institute. It has set up a postgraduate innovation practice base, continuously breaking through industry technological barriers, and has accumulated 92 patents. The company has successfully addressed industry pain points such as the low compression ratio and low intelligence level of high-end compressed garbage trucks. Simultaneously, it has continued to focus on the independent R&D of high-end products, launching multiple technologically advanced new products, including bucket-holding garbage trucks suitable for the European and American markets, as well as a series of rescue and emergency response products covering various special environments, such as an integrated air-ground AI unmanned firefighting rescue vehicle, a mother-daughter drainage rescue vehicle, a tethered UAV lighting vehicle, and a pure electric multi-functional firefighting vehicle, comprehensively meeting high-end demands across different markets and scenarios.
Leveraging its newly commissioned and highly effective national-level 5G smart factory, Hubei Kaili Special Automobile Co., Ltd. has achieved a comprehensive leap in production efficiency. A watering truck can now be mass-produced within two days from material cutting, manufacturing, and quality inspection to off-line production. Intelligent logistics enable the precise delivery of components to the assembly line, improving labor efficiency by 100% and increasing the space utilization rate of the three-dimensional warehouse by 100%. By deeply integrating cutting-edge technologies such as 5G, AI, industrial robots, and digital twins, the company has achieved a full-chain digital and intelligent upgrade from product design and manufacturing to after-sales service. In 2025, the company's annual output exceeded 10,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 11%. The sales volumes of its core products, watering trucks and compressed garbage trucks, consistently ranked among the top three nationwide. Its annual output value increased by 24.84% year-on-year, with foreign trade exports reaching 150 million yuan, maintaining a positive growth trend for seven consecutive years and ranking among the top three in the national environmental sanitation equipment manufacturing industry for five consecutive years. The "Kailifeng" brand products continue to lead the market.
The first phase of the factory, including the No. 1 Welding and Processing Center, the No. 3 Final Assembly Center, and the Production Command Center Building, have all been successfully completed and put into operation. Automated production lines and an intelligent management system have been implemented, and the No. 2 Automated Coating Center is currently undergoing equipment installation, scheduled to be officially put into use in April. The automated coating center, with a total construction area of 28,000 square meters, has established the first automated powder coating production line in China's special purpose vehicle industry capable of flexible switching among 10 process routes. It can cover various types of workpieces such as tanks, boxes, and structural components, meeting the coating needs of 12 types of special purpose vehicles, including environmental sanitation, firefighting, and engineering machinery. It achieves industry-leading indicators such as a 30% improvement in appearance quality, a coating durability of 10 years, and a 25% reduction in comprehensive operating costs, providing core quality support for product high-endization and export to foreign markets.
In terms of market expansion, domestic sales cover 31 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions across the country, while foreign sales extend to more than 70 countries and regions. At the beginning of the New Year, orders have been continuously signed, with production scheduled until April 2026. In February alone, 260 new export orders were signed, primarily for export to Africa, Southeast Asia, and other regions. To support its global layout, the company has established five KD factories in Kenya, Pakistan, Tanzania, Azerbaijan, and other countries, and set up 10 overseas warehouses in Uzbekistan and Indonesia, initially establishing an overseas service network. In 2026, it will further extend its reach to Uganda, Saudi Arabia, and other places, continuously expanding the international influence of "Suizhou Intelligence." Additionally, the company has innovatively launched a 5G + AR remote vehicle inspection service. As Executive General Manager Han Xu introduced, "This 'intelligence confidence' has become an important support for exploring international markets." Foreign customers can now achieve "360° remote vehicle inspection," breaking through the spatial and temporal limitations of vehicle inspections.
With honors bestowed, the journey continues unabated. General Manager Liang Jun of the group company stated that winning both the enterprise and individual honors for outstanding contributions to municipal high-quality development is a weighty honor and an unshirkable responsibility.
In the new year, he will lead all employees of Hubei Kaili Special Automobile Co., Ltd. to seize the opportunity presented by this honor, ride the momentum, and strive for excellence. The company will continue to deepen the construction of the 5G smart factory, promote the timely commissioning of the No. 2 Automated Coating Center, continuously increase R&D investment, drive product iteration and upgrades, further improve its overseas layout, accelerate the expansion of emerging foreign markets such as Uganda and Saudi Arabia, continuously enhance its core competitiveness, and strive to take greater strides on the path of high-end, intelligent, and green development of special purpose vehicles. It will contribute more Kaili strength to building an upgraded version of Suizhou as the "Capital of Special Purpose Vehicles in China," promoting high-quality local economic development, and making contributions to pivotal construction projects, writing a new chapter with solid actions and achievements in the Year of the Horse.
