On September 15, inside the workshop of Hubei KV Mechanical & Electrical Equipment Co., Ltd. in Zhangwan District, Shiyan City, workers were busy commissioning a batch of conveyor equipment for energy-storage container production lines. This equipment is destined for BYD’s Nanning plant. This marks the fifth large-scale, turnkey system that the company has customized for BYD.
“In February last year, we secured our first order for conveying equipment, and BYD was extremely satisfied with the delivery,” said Wang Zhengfeng, General Manager of Kewe Mechanical & Electrical. As a result, BYD officially designated Kewe Mechanical & Electrical as an approved bidding partner, and since then, the company has successfully won five additional projects to supply supporting equipment to BYD.
Wang Zhengfeng’s phone still holds a video of the installation of BYD’s energy‑storage cube system. “As you can see,” he explains, “apart from the batteries, every other component here is manufactured by KV Mechanical & Electrical.” When the new‑energy battery pack is transported and positioned, the gaps left around it measure only 3 to 5 millimeters—thanks to KV’s automated handling equipment, which enables seamless, high‑precision assembly.
Hubei KV Mechanical & Electrical Equipment Co., Ltd. was established in 2010 and is located in the Xicheng Industrial Park, Zhangwan District, Shiyan City. Since its inception, the company has been dedicated to providing comprehensive solutions for automotive manufacturers, component producers, and machinery manufacturers, encompassing industrial automation assembly lines, conveyor systems, coating lines, robotic applications and integration, as well as intelligent control systems.
“Focus breeds expertise,” noted Wang Zhengfeng. He explained that the company has developed tire‑assembly lines for clients such as Foton Daimler, which can automatically convey various types of tires from the warehouse to the production line in accordance with each enterprise’s manufacturing workflow—completing the entire process in just over ten seconds.
Commercial vehicle tires are large and heavy, with each tire weighing over 100 kilograms, making manual or rudimentary mechanical assembly increasingly inadequate. To boost production efficiency, manufacturers are placing growing demand on advanced automated assembly equipment. After years of continuous R&D, KV Mechanical & Electrical has obtained multiple utility‑model patents, including: a lifting aid for tire rims; a coating mechanism for an automatic lubrication device used in tire assembly; and a press‑fitting mechanism for inner tube support components.
KV Mechanical & Electrical employs just over 50 staff members, more than 20 of whom are technical professionals. To date, the company has obtained over 30 patents and has grown into a high-tech enterprise integrating R&D and design, manufacturing and installation, as well as technical services.
The company has supplied automated equipment to numerous automotive and component manufacturers, including Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle, Nissan, Foton Daimler, BYD, and JMC, with its products exported to overseas markets such as Russia, Thailand, and Vietnam.
“Only with technological leadership can we lead the market,” said Wang Zhengfeng. The company has posted robust revenue growth for three consecutive years: RMB 32 million in 2020, RMB 54.07 million in 2021, and RMB 120 million in 2022.
“The company’s overall strength has now placed it among the top three in its domestic industry,” said an official from the Zhangwan District Bureau of Economy and Informatization.
KV Mechanical & Electrical has maintained steady performance growth, with employees working overtime to ensure timely order fulfillment. This year, the company’s per‑capita output is expected to exceed RMB 2 million.
