In the process of accelerating the landing of electric intelligent and networked vehicle products and improving key technical capabilities, SAIC Motor has initially built three new competitive advantages, such as the advantages of leading hardware foundation, the advantages of forward-looking and innovative software capabilities, and the advantages of open and integrated ecological platforms.

Aiming at the future development trend of the industry, SAIC Motor has accelerated the implementation of the "new four modernizations" of electrification, intelligent networking, sharing and internationalization in recent years, laying a solid foundation for the sustainable development of enterprises.

With the profound changes in the world automotive industry in recent years, the development of new kinetic energy with electric intelligent networking as the main feature is accelerating, and the next round of industrial competition is accelerating the construction of new tracks, and "data determines experience, software-defined cars" has become an important new trend.

On the one hand, we will make every effort to promote the industrialization and development of electric intelligent networked vehicle technology, continuously launch new products with "high scientific and technological content", actively explore demonstration projects with "wide application scenarios", and synchronously grasp the construction of core industrial chains such as batteries, electric drives, electronic controls, perception, decision-making, and execution. On the other hand, we will accelerate the improvement of the technical capabilities of data-determined experience and software-defined vehicles, orderly layout emerging technology fields such as software development, big data, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and network security, focus on improving the digital level of automotive products, travel services, and operating systems, continue to improve user-centered business model innovation, and promote the company's comprehensive transformation into a high-tech enterprise with technological upgrading, business globalization, brand premiumization, and ultimate experience of mobile travel services and products.
