Wuhu IAT Power Technology Co., Ltd. recently celebrated its official opening in Wuhu, Anhui Province, adding a new player to the core components sector for new energy vehicles (NEVs). Representatives from governmental departments, investment institutions, value chain partners, and customers gathered to witness the occasion. As IAT’s key operating entity for new energy powertrain and component manufacturing, Wuhu IAT marks a significant step forward in the company’s dual-engine strategy driven by “full-stack R&D and lean intelligent manufacturing.”

Jointly established by IAT Automobile Technology Co., Ltd. and Wuhu Hua’ an Zhanxin Strategic Industry Equity Investment Fund Partnership (Limited Partnership), Wuhu IAT specializes in the R&D and production of battery-electric and hybrid powertrain systems. Its primary focus lies in the large-scale manufacturing of electromagnetic clutch modules, while also pursuing the development and innovation of other types of electromagnetic clutch products. The company aims to become a leading supplier of core NEV components in China and worldwide.

Building on IAT’s extensive expertise in automotive design and its independently developed integrated battery-electric vehicle powertrain technology, Wuhu IAT offers end-to-end capabilities spanning product R&D, manufacturing, and customer service, providing customers worldwide with comprehensive component supply solutions across the value chain. 

Its establishment is a key initiative in advancing IAT’s dual engine business strategy driven by “full-stack R&D and lean intelligent manufacturing.” By capitalizing on Wuhu’s industrial clusters and strategic location, the company will build a solid production capacity foundation for IAT’s global expansion strategy of integrating R&D, intelligent manufacturing, and original design manufacturing (ODM).

On the product and manufacturing front, IAT’s self-developed electromagnetic clutch has completed validation for mass production. Its core electromagnetic clutch assembly has been modularized, allowing the company to supply electromagnetic clutch modules as standalone products. In addition to applications in hybrid transmissions, these modules can also provide driveline disconnection in P4 reduction gear units. Mass-production solutions have already been presented to several prospective customers. 

Wuhu IAT’s production line adopts automated assembly in a temperature-controlled cleanroom and has an annual capacity of 600,000 electromagnetic clutches. Moreover, a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system integrated with a manufacturing execution system (MES) enables end-to-end digital quality traceability.

At the opening ceremony, a Wuhu IAT representative stated that, supported by the trust, contributions, and commitment of all parties, the company will remain dedicated to independent R&D and innovation, continually refine its products, and create value for customers with greater reliability. Wuhu IAT aims to become a leading domestic and internationally recognized supplier of core NEV components.

With the facility now completed and production underway, Wuhu IAT has entered a new phase of rapid development. Looking ahead, the company will capitalize on the industrial clusters and strategic location of Wuhu’s Fanchang District, working alongside automakers to bring China’s core NEV components to broader international markets and contribute fresh momentum to the high-quality development of the NEV value chain.
