天津一汽在2016年推出了骏派品牌的第二款车型——骏派A70,但目前产品线过于狭窄,急需加快产品布局。天津一汽在2016年底对其华利工厂进行了大规模升级改造,为今年骏派品牌将推出的3款新车做准备。据天津一汽夏利汽车股份有限公司生产技术部相关负责人介绍,天津一汽将在“十三五”期间对华利工厂进行三次升级。目前已完成第一阶段,主要是焊装车间改造、新设备和生产线投入、总装的质保线升级还有涂装的全面自动化升级。第二个阶段在2017年中期,会对华利工厂进行全面升级,主要为2018年将要上市的A级SUV等新品做准备。2018年后还会有大的升级,为后续新车型准备。根据规划,2017年天津一汽将陆续推出3款全新车型:一款三厢A级车、一款跨界旅行车和骏派A70纯电动版。结合已经上市的小型SUV骏派D60和首款A级车骏派A70,将形成高低互补的产品布局,满足更多消费者需求。目前天津一汽骏派仅有D60和A70两款车型。天津一汽夏利汽车股份有限公司副总经理金叙龙表示,“新车开发周期一般是三到四年,与一些国内自主品牌对于零配件质量认证不重视的情况不同,我们都经过集团的质量体系认证”。
