FAW Jiefang (Qingdao) Commercial Vehicle Development Institute | Office Project by Hongye Furniture

On July 13, 1956, the first domestically produced FAW CA10 truck rolled off the assembly line, marking the end of the history in which China could not manufacture its own vehicles.

On June 28, 2024, China’s first liquid hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, the FAW Jiefang "Xingyi" Hydrogen Energy Twin-Star product, was officially launched. It became the first hydrogen-powered vehicle in China that can truly be put into operation.

At the same time, the FAW Jiefang (Qingdao) Commercial Vehicle Development Institute was officially opened. The institute will possess leading domestic capabilities in automotive electronics, intelligent connectivity, and other R&D areas. It represents the highest level of commercial vehicle development at FAW and marks a significant step forward in advancing China’s automotive industry towards higher-end, intelligent technology.

TOTAL INVESTMENT 1.2 BILLION

The FAW Jiefang (Qingdao) Commercial Vehicle Development Institute is located at No. 1 Zhuzhou Road, Laoshan District, Qingdao. The project has a total investment of 1.2 billion yuan and includes the construction of a new building, as well as workshops covering over 70,000 square meters.

It is equipped with 60 sets of advanced, high-precision equipment. It focuses on five key core technologies for commercial vehicles: data analysis, intelligent connectivity, automotive electronics and electrical core assembly development, testing and simulation, and creative styling.

COMMERCIAL VEHICLES

During the construction, the selection of furniture for the R&D building was highly stringent. Hongye Furniture Group stood out in the competitive bidding process with its innovative and superior furniture design solutions. Ultimately, Hongye won the bid for the project with a successful bid amount of 20.98 million yuan, marking a significant breakthrough for the company in the high-end commercial vehicle sector.

With the expertise of a professional installation team, Hongye Furniture Group meticulously carried out the production and installation process, strictly adhering to the design plans. This ensured that every piece of furniture perfectly aligned with the spatial environment of the R&D building, achieving a 1:1 effect and seamless integration.

One-stop Furniture Solution

-providing a new experience of efficient and healthy office work-

The R&D building at the FAW Jiefang (Qingdao) Commercial Vehicle Development Institute is one of the working areas of the entire institute. The customized office solution we provided for FAW Jiefang will offer staffs an efficient and healthy working environment, completely transforming the limitations of traditional office spaces.

-Employee Office Space-

The ergonomic monitor stands on the desks are the highlight of the employee office space. Made from aluminum alloy with a non-toxic baked paint process, they are not only durable and sturdy but also exude a sense of high-end quality while being health-conscious and environmentally friendly.

It is designed based on refined ergonomic principles, featuring a compensation mechanism and self-lubricating precision bearings. Researchers can easily adjust the screen to the optimal position according to their needs—whether it's height, angle, or distance—ensuring a precise fit. This functionality effectively reduces physical fatigue caused by long hours of work. Additionally, it offers top-to-bottom concealed cable management, keeping wires hidden and organized. This eliminates clutter on the desk, creating a clean, aesthetically pleasing, and safe workspace.

In addition to the ergonomic monitor stands, we also carefully considered the hand posture of researchers while using the keyboard. We equipped the office with a meticulously designed ergonomic keyboard tray, further enhancing the comfort and health experience for the researchers during their work.

The space under the desk offers ample storage, including a side cabinet with an intelligent password lock, a three-drawer fixed cabinet, and a flexible two-drawer mobile cabinet. These options fully meet the needs of employees for storing personal items or temporary documents.

-Training Space-

The movable tables and chairs in the training room can be rearranged at any time, offering greater flexibility for space utilization. The foldable design of the chairs makes them easy to store and connect, enabling smooth, flexible, and convenient transitions between different setups.

The collaboration space, paired with ergonomic office chairs, allows for a more relaxed posture during meetings, enhancing efficiency and facilitating discussions for the staffs.

The overall design of the conference hall focuses on a sense of stability and comfort, making it ideal for various types of presentations, seminars, and academic exchanges.

-Administrative Office-

The design of the executive office emphasizes professionalism, efficiency, and comfort. The executive desk is made of high-quality solid wood, offering both durability and an attractive grain. The desktop features a concealed cable management box. The chair is ergonomically designed, with adjustable height and premium fabric for added comfort.

-Meeting Space-

It is paired with professional audiovisual equipment and intelligent height-adjustable charging ports, creates a minimalist and elegant space layout. This combination fosters a comfortable yet high-end business environment, where functionality and sophistication seamlessly merge.

By using a simple yet vibrant color scheme and a clean, structured design language, the geometric beauty is seamlessly integrated into the shape of the conference table, creating a cohesive and modern product that is both minimalist and dignified. The modern minimalist approach, combined with sleek, smooth lines and material combinations in the meeting furniture, outlines a simple yet contemporary and professional tone.

The table's legs break away from traditional square or rounded shapes, featuring an irregular design. This unique approach injects soft and soothing elements into the otherwise rigid conference space, adding a touch of relaxation to otherwise serious meetings.

-Leisure Space-

FAW Jiefang embraces a variety of work styles, and the design reflects this by offering multiple flexible options. This approach helps alleviate employee stress and enhances the overall sense of well-being for the research and development team.

The irregularly shaped sofa is a unique feature in the space, breaking away from traditional sofa designs. It adds an artistic atmosphere to the room, meeting the need for seating while also serving as a striking piece of art that reflects extraordinary taste.
