NAVECO, the 50:50 joint venture between IVECO and SAIC for the manufacture and sale of light
commercial vehicles, transmissions and engines, inaugurated today the brand new manufacturing
plant in Qiaolin, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province (China). During the inauguration ceremony, NAVECO
also celebrated the first New China Daily unit coming off the line.
The plant, which spreads over 843,000 square metres of which 250,000 covered, increases
NAVECO’s production capacity up to 100,000 vehicles per year. The new Qiaolin manufacturing
plant is a world-class green operation. It uses energy regeneration with solutions such as its solar
photovoltaic system and rainwater and process water recycling system. It reduces the environmental
impact of its operations through practices such as TNV waste gas burning, rain and sewage
diversion and wastewater treatment. At this facility, thanks to its sustainable technologies and
processes, NAVECO aims to reduce energy consumption by 30% and to increase per capita output
value by 25%.
