The car is the star at Hebei plant

Every 54 seconds, a car rolls off the assembly line at Beijing Hyundai Motor's Cangzhou plant in Hebei province, one of the largest industrial project in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei integrated development strategy region.

Fully automated production lines perform functions like stamping, welding, painting and assembly procedures, as well as engine manufacturing, facilitating such a fast rate of production.

Thanks to strong support from the provincial and Cangzhou city governments, the project was approved in less than 100 days, and production started in October 2016 after 18 months of construction. The construction of a factory on such a scale usually lasts 24 to 30 months elsewhere in the world, according to Lang Jiawei, deputy general manager of Beijing Hyundai, a 50-50 joint venture between South Korean carmaker Hyundai Motor Co and Beijing Automotive Industry Holding Co Ltd.
