Our Journey

Ten Years of Focus, Moving Forward

Since 2016, CHTAE has grown through real projects and capability upgrades into a multi-discipline vehicle engineering partner.

CHTAE Xi'an was founded, establishing a structural design team and a core interior and exterior engineering system.

Partnered with GAC on GS4 Plus, GA8 and GA4 trim structures, entering OEM production development.

Supported A-SUV, Viloran and other programs across trim, body and closures while strengthening project and quality systems.

Opened the Shanghai branch, forming a Xi'an R&D and Shanghai delivery network for faster project response.

Joined Land Rover China's L383 programme for trim and closure structures, earning recognition from a premium brand.

Expanded vehicle integration for new-energy and intelligent programs across trim, body, closures, wiring, electrical and simulation.

At ten years, CHTAE has grown from a structural design team into a multi-discipline vehicle engineering and delivery partner.
