The Equipment Industry Division I of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently visited GAC Aian and Zhaoqing Xiaopeng to carry out product safety and production consistency supervision and inspection of road motor vehicle manufacturers. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology focuses on checking the maintenance of production entry conditions such as safety and security capabilities, design and development and production capacity, and production capacity of the above enterprises. Samples of vehicles, power batteries, etc. are randomly sampled on site and transferred to relevant agencies for inspection and testing of compliance with national standards. In response, it is rumored that this inspection may involve quality problems with the 177Ah lithium iron phosphate battery of China Airlines. Earlier, it was revealed that the Aian S series models equipped with this battery had faults such as battery bulging, liquid leaks, and a sudden power failure while driving. It is worth noting that China Airlines is not only Aian's battery supplier, but also supplies Xiaopeng, and these two companies are the target of this inspection. In response, a GAC Aian insider, who asked not to be named, told reporters: “I haven't heard that there is an inevitable connection; it seems like an inspection of the entire industry.” Another Xiaopeng Motor insider, who asked not to be named, told the reporter: “It's probably not just Guangzhou; I've heard that almost all big car companies have to go.”
