SAIC’s “Nebula” pure electric platform unveiled to accelerate the layout of new smart terminalsFly into the homes of ordinary people
Xinmin Evening News (Reporter Ye Wei) Under the wave of intelligent electrification, the pure electric platform is an important weight for traditional car companies to participate in the new round of competition in the automobile market. Recently, SAIC Group has publicly analyzed the “SAIC Nebula” pure electric exclusive systematic platform for the first time. This super platform is based on the development concept of gradient, extensibility, and iterative upgrade, covering multi-level and various types of vehicle products, and has highly flexible technical scalability.
Aiming at the general trend of industry change of “data determines experience and software defines automobiles”, SAIC Motor released “seven technology bases”, including three major vehicle technology bases and four key system technology bases, to accelerate the deployment of new intelligent terminals. Specifically, we will build three major vehicle technology bases, the “Nebula” pure electric exclusive system platform, the “Everest” mechatronics architecture, and the “Xinghe” hydrogen energy exclusive architecture, as well as the “Blue Core” powertrain system, There are four key system technology bases, such as the platform-based “Cube” battery system, the “Green Core” electric drive system, and the “Galaxy” full-stack smart car solution.
“SAIC Nebula Platform” is a super platform loaded with three technical bases of “Cube”, “Green Core” and “Galaxy”. Lu Yong, executive vice president of SAIC Innovation Research and Development Institute, believes that it is the right time to launch “Nebula”. “All platform companies are most afraid that the bandwidth and gradient of the platform are not enough. After completing a platform, they find that the next car is not enough. To be sufficient, they need to be very forward-looking and inclusive of market demand. This platform often requires Only a certain amount of time and volume can be used as a support to make the investment more efficient. Lu Yong said that the electric vehicle market is currently in a stage of linear growth, and 16 electric vehicles will be produced on the Nebula platform in 2022-2023 alone.
“Nebulas” has future-oriented, highly flexible technical scalability, covering the global market for compact cars, mid-size cars, medium and large cars, luxury cars and sedans, sports cars, SUVs, MPVs and other multi-level and multi-type vehicle products, compatible with high voltage Cutting-edge software and hardware technologies such as casting, solid-state batteries, wire-controlled chassis, full-stack electrical architecture, and unmanned driving. The platform is also equipped with a “cloud-pipe-terminal integration” smart car full-stack solution, based on an intelligent cloud platform, software platform, computing platform, electronic architecture, etc. to create “cabin-driving integration” digital experience products, opening up “thousands of people, thousands of faces, thousands of faces,” for users. The ultimate intelligent experience of “close to the heart”.
In order to support the seven major technical bases, SAIC further broke the problem from the system and mechanism. SAIC Motor has newly established the Innovation Research and Development Institute. Through the top-level design of the innovation mechanism and system, it will link innovation resources and create an innovation ecosystem to accelerate the technological research and development and industrialization of “smart new terminals” new energy intelligent connected vehicles. Lu Yong introduced that the Innovation Institute is mainly positioned in three aspects: the integrator of vehicle products, which has established a co-creation center with Zhiji and Feifan to provide competitive products for brands; the source of forward-looking technologies; the research and development site of key technology bases , to achieve maximum efficiency sharing in research and development, greatly shorten the development cycle, and improve the conversion efficiency of the entire group’s research and development investment.
