Leju's May 2026 prospectus states that KUAVO 4Pro was deployed in a FAW factory proof of concept for tote handling and SPS picking. The model-specific statement appears on printed pages 148 and 154, with further application discussion on page 171.

This is stronger than a generic factory partnership: the filing names hardware and tasks already tested. It does not identify the FAW branch, fleet size, operating window or acceptance metrics. Reports about five Kuavo robots at Hongqi should not automatically be treated as the exact same 4Pro configuration or site.

SPS work connects component selection to the needs of an assembly line, making task accuracy and exception handling as important as movement speed. The public disclosure establishes a pilot, not sustained production economics. A factory-authored account with a station map, picking denominator and staffing record would permit a more specific comparison. No Changchun marker is inferred from FAW's corporate identity.
