Automotive production design is a highly complex and demanding process. Enterprises have stringent requirements for CAD and other design software, as a qualified CAD system must not only offer robust functionality but also align with the specific needs of the company and its machinery. It should be scalable, adaptable to industry-specific workflows, and capable of integrating seamlessly with other enterprise systems to support overall operational efficiency.
Dongfeng Liuzhou Automobile Co., Ltd. (referred to as “Liuqiâ€) is a joint venture between Dongfeng Motor Corporation and Liuzhou Industrial Holdings. As a large national first-class enterprise, it has achieved ISO9001 quality certification and 3C certification. With an annual production capacity of 80,000 commercial vehicles and 150,000 passenger cars, Liuqi operates under four well-known brands: Dongfeng Chenglong, Dongfeng Balong, Dongfeng Longka, and Dongfeng. The company has also obtained numerous national patents and introduced Mitsubishi technology to develop the popular multi-functional business travel vehicle, which blends business and leisure in a humanized design, setting new trends in the market.

Liuqi places great emphasis on information technology development. The company has invested significantly in improving its production processes and supporting infrastructure, including the establishment of computer-aided design and manufacturing systems (CAD/CAM) and product development platforms. This investment has continuously enhanced both the technical level and manufacturing capabilities of the enterprise.
According to Director Mo from the Technical Center, "Liuqi’s continued growth is largely due to a solid information foundation." He added that informatization not only improves work efficiency and reduces labor intensity but also enhances overall business management by streamlining data flow and improving decision-making. The application of CAD/CAE technologies has significantly improved product development quality and efficiency. In recent years, more than 25% of Liuqi’s total informatization investment has been allocated to CAD/CAE software.
When choosing CAD software, Liuqi initially adopted mainstream foreign solutions but eventually opted for Zhongwang CAD. According to Director Mo, this decision was driven by competitive pricing, excellent product quality, and technological maturity. He noted that Zhongwang CAD is now comparable to international software in terms of performance, offering full compatibility with mainstream formats, improved stability, and faster processing speeds. Additionally, its mechanical module adheres to national standards and aligns with the habits of designers, allowing new graduates to use it without extensive training. The integration of Zhongwang CAD with Zhongwang Machinery has significantly boosted design efficiency.

Zhongwang CAD plays a crucial role in standardizing two-dimensional design processes across product, process, and equipment design within Liuqi's information system. Director Mo highlighted that compared to other domestic solutions, Zhongwang CAD offers superior API interface functions and compatibility, particularly in supporting previous CAD file formats. This enables seamless integration with the PDM system, allowing engineers to directly launch Zhongwang CAD from the PDM system and edit 2D drawings. After completing the design, they can easily import the files into the PDM database through the integrated menu.
Director Mo remarked, "The strong integration between Zhongwang CAD and our existing PDM system greatly facilitates the internal management of design-related data, further enhancing the efficiency of our information system."
In conclusion, Zhongwang CAD is an essential component of enterprise information system construction. Beyond meeting the technical demands of engineers, its ability to integrate deeply with the company’s own systems significantly boosts overall information efficiency. As the application of Zhongwang CAD expands, we are confident it will bring about substantial improvements in design efficiency and quality at Liuqi, ultimately contributing to the creation of better automotive products.
