Accelerate the transformation of smart low-carbon Changan Automobile’s target sales of 3 million vehicles in 2025
China Times (www.chinatimes.net.cn) reporter Yu Jianping reports from Beijing
On August 24, Changan Automobile announced the development strategy of “New Cars and New Ecosystem”, the first unmanned valet parking APA7.0, and the first appearance of the high-end smart electric vehicle brand codenamed E11 under Avita Technology. The first product of Changan Automobile, the first pure electric model C385 of Changan Automobile’s new platform, and the future intelligent new car “EO”, and many other innovations.
At the same time, Changan Automobile also demonstrated its development prospects for deepening its transformation into an intelligent low-carbon travel technology company and accelerating the formation of a “new car + new ecological” industrial company.
New breakthroughs in intelligence
On August 24, Changan Automobile Chairman Zhu Huarong invited Huawei’s managing director and smart car solutions BU CEO Yu Chengdong and Ningde Times Chairman Zeng Yuqun through an online connection to announce for the first time in a “mysterious out of the box” method. The first high-end intelligent electric mid-size SUV under Avita Technology created by the joint efforts of the three parties has a partial shape with the internal codename E11.
Although the E11 is only unveiled this time, as a new era smart terminal that transcends the mobile space, E11 not only has a unique design, but also is equipped with Huawei HI (Huawei Inside) full-stack smart car solutions and the latest electric化技术。 Technology. Currently, E11 is undergoing vehicle commissioning and will be unveiled at the end of this year. In addition to the E11, the first strategic model C385 of Changan Automobile’s new dedicated electric vehicle platform was also officially unveiled.
In addition, Changan Automobile released for the first time a full-scenario digital twin development open platform, a new generation of super-integrated electric drive system, and the first technology release of APA7.0 for remote unmanned valet parking. It is worth noting that Changan Automobile also announced that it will launch mass production of remote intelligent parking APA6.0 in September this year. This makes Changan Automobile the first Chinese auto company in the industry to achieve high-level autonomous driving technology.
Changan Automobile said that with the first APA7.0 remote unmanned valet parking system, users can get off the car directly outside the garage, the system autonomously queues up, drives the vehicle through the barriers, autonomously finds parking spaces, and parks autonomously. At the same time, APA7.0 will also implement the elevator entrance pick-up function. Users can reserve the pick-up time in advance, the system will park itself in the parking space, and arrive at the elevator entrance to pick up the driver at the appointed time.
The remote unmanned valet parking APA7.0 is equipped with super-sensing hardware system and advanced algorithm technology, which can achieve precise positioning through visual semantics and feature fusion, and respond to the complex and changeable parking environment through map search and optimization algorithms. Changan APA7.0 implements an ultra-sensing hardware system, using a total of 27 sensors, 5 4D imaging millimeter-wave radars designed to solve parking lot perception, 12 new-generation coded ultrasonic radars, 10 high-performance cameras, and a single camera with up to 800w. In terms of algorithm technology, deep learning and multi-sensor fusion are used to achieve precise perception; visual semantics and feature fusion are used to achieve precise positioning; map search and optimization algorithms are used to deal with the complex and changeable parking environment.
It is reported that Changan Automobile will work with partners to promote the establishment of a smart parking system ecosystem in major cities across the country. It is expected that by the end of 2022, it will cover 500 public parking lots in core business circles and large hospitals in major cities across the country, and will expand to all of them in 5 years. Public parking lots in large commercial districts and hospitals in second and third tier cities.
Build a “new ecology”
In May 2021, Changan Automobile’s 20 millionth Changan brand car rolled off the assembly line, becoming the first Chinese brand car company to exceed 20 million units. According to Wang Jun, President of Changan Automobile, from January to July this year, Changan Automobile overcame the normal state of “core shortage” and maintained a good growth momentum. Among them, the group’s sales exceeded 1.37 million vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 38.4%; the Changan brand sales exceeded 1 million vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 46.1%. Changan Automobile sold 10,347 vehicles in July, a year-on-year increase of 235.8%. After six consecutive months of sales exceeding 10,000, the cumulative sales of Changan Automobile’s overseas market reached 74,020 vehicles from January to July this year, a year-on-year increase of 152.8%.
Wang Jun said that in the future, Changan Automobile will focus on building four ecosystems: First, build a technological ecosystem together. It will focus on the fields of chips, operating systems, and core algorithms, and deepen cooperation with global outstanding companies such as Bosch, Continental, Huawei, Chinasoft International, etc., to build the system capability of “core screen device, nuclear map, net sky”, and jointly lay out new technological tracks. Second, build a digital ecosystem. It will focus on innovative applications and full-scene digital connections to create a digital ecosystem. Third, create a user ecology. It will build a service ecosystem of “people*car*life” around the origin of “automotive”; at the same time, establish a “partner” relationship with users to create automotive ecological products. This year, it is expected to build more than 50 ecological products. Fourth, create a green ecology together. It will work with industry chain partners to jointly deploy hydrogen energy, charging, battery replacement, battery recycling and other industries. In the future, new factories will fully adopt photovoltaic power generation and gradually transform existing factories. By 2025, the carbon emission intensity of bicycle manufacturing will be reduced by 30%.
Since the launch of the “Third Entrepreneurship-Innovation and Entrepreneurship Program” in 2018, Changan Automobile, which has transformed into an intelligent low-carbon travel technology company, has harvested a series of innovative results, and has provided a solid foundation for the company’s “new car and new ecology” strategy. In the past three years, the value of Changan Automobile’s products has increased by 34%.
Zhu Huarong, chairman of Changan Automobile, said that in the next five years, Changan Automobile is expected to invest 150 billion yuan in the entire industry chain to build a technology company’s technology ecosystem and accelerate the construction of software and intelligent capabilities. By 2025, the proportion of intelligent software talents will reach 50%.
According to the plan of Changan Automobile, in 2025, the Changan brand will achieve sales of 3 million vehicles, of which new energy will account for 35%; by 2030, sales will reach 4.5 million, new energy will account for 60%, and overseas sales will account for Reached 30%.
