"Don't do boring electric vehicles", Extreme Kr will launch L4 level intelligent driving cars in 2024

Geely Automobile's high-end new energy brand, Extreme Kr, recently announced the latest delivery of the first model luxury hunting coupe ZEEKR 001, and in December 2021, ZEEKR 001 delivered a total of 3796 units, an increase of 88.7% month-on-month.

In addition, Extreme Kr has also reached cooperation with Waymo and Mobileye recently. Kr will provide exclusive vehicles for waymo One driverless fleet and announce the vast-M architecture launched specifically for driverless scenarios, while Extreme Kr has further deepened its strategic partnership with Mobileye, which plans to launch the world's first consumer-grade intelligent driving electric vehicle with L4 level intelligent driving capabilities in 2024.

Urban Hunting ZEEKR 001 is a hit

Since its establishment in April 2021, whether it is the construction of the ecosystem or the delivery of products, Extreme Kr has aroused great concern in the industry and consumers. On April 15, 2021, Extreme Kr's first product, the luxury hunting coupe ZEEKR 001, was officially released. Adhering to the credo of "don't be bored with electric vehicles", ZEEKR 001 breaks the traditional thinking of cars and SUVs and is given a unique hunting coupe style.

In order to meet the needs of weekend hunting and outings, Ferrari, Aston Martin and other supercar brands have converted two-door coupes into hatchback shapes, which not only have sports car handling performance, but also expand the driving space. Nowadays, the hunting models represented by Ferrari FF, Aston Martin, Porsche, etc., are still constantly interpreting the urban hunting spirit of "loyal to attitude and willing to explore".

As a luxury hunting coupe, ZEEKR 001 carries insight into the spirit of "Generation Zero" hunting, satisfying their desire to enjoy life and explore the unknown. ZeeKR 001 has been on the market for only two months, and the cumulative number of deliveries has exceeded 6,000.

A few days ago at the Xiamen Circuit, the reporter of China Times had a deeper understanding of Extreme Kr 001. The krypton 001 100 meters can accelerate as fast as 3.8 seconds and the maximum power can reach 400 kW. The ZEEKR 001 also features fully automatic air suspension, 4-wheel air springs, CCD electromagnetic damping system for both handling and comfort, and 20 scene functions that can be continuously upgraded via FOTA. Moreover, the suspension adjustment range is 117mm to 200mm, combined with the approach angle of 15.7° and the departure angle of 21.5, which can adapt to different road conditions.

It is worth mentioning that zeeKR 001 is equipped with a large-capacity battery pack of 100kWh, and the maximum endurance of NEDC can reach 712km. Under ideal conditions, it can be charged for 5 minutes and have a range of 120km.

According to The Krypton, 16 delivery centers have been built across the country, charging stations have been built in 14 cities, there are more than 300 after-sales service networks, 560,000 APP registered users, and 100,000 daily active users.

According to the plan, in the next three years, Kr will also launch 6 new models; by 2025, Kr will rank among the top three in the world in terms of high-end electric vehicle market share, with sales of 650,000 vehicles.

Layout driverless

In addition to the power on the product side, Extreme Krypton has also begun to lay out the field of unmanned driving. Krypton has announced a partnership with smart driving giant Mobileye to launch the world's first L4-class intelligent driving electric vehicle in 2024. In addition, Mobileye also released a new generation of flagship chip "EyeQ Ultra", which has the characteristics of low energy consumption, thereby reducing the additional power loss caused by the automatic driving system. It is understood that the chip will be mass-produced in 2023 and will be mass-produced in 2025.

"Mobileye is an important strategic partner of Krypton, and together we will create more exciting smart driving cars for the future of mobility." An Conghui, CEO of Extreme Kr Intelligent Technology, said, "The deepening strategic partnership will further strengthen the confidence of Extreme Kr and Mobileye to lead the global advanced driver assistance and intelligent driving industry." Krypton will also uphold an open attitude and integrate advanced technologies in different fields to provide our users with a better intelligent driving experience. ”

It is reported that the cooperation between Kr and Waymo is to create an exclusive travel service for unmanned driving application scenarios, the product is different from the traditional model to focus on the driver's design ideas, the passenger-centered design concept, pay more attention to passenger preferences, and highlight the comfort and convenience of the ride experience.

According to the plan, after delivery, the model will be equipped with WaymoDriver's unmanned driving solution, which supports the use of B-end driverless vehicles and the use of future unmanned vehicles in C-end scenarios.

An Conghui said: "Adhering to the value concept of equality, diversity and sustainability, the Extreme Krypton brand not only co-creates with users, but also adheres to co-creation with global high-quality ecological partners. This time, Extreme Kr and Waymo have become strategic partners to jointly develop driverless exclusive vehicles for the Waymo One fleet, which fully proves the technical research and development strength and commercial expansion potential of Extreme Kr. ”

According to The Kryptonian side, Extreme Kr cooperated with the unmanned driving company Waymo to base on the Vast-M (SEA-M) architecture of the Extreme Kr intelligent travel platform. Based on the technology and experience accumulation of SEA Haohan architecture, Haohan-M architecture is committed to building a sustainable and extended mobility service system in the driverless era through the integration of hardware layer + system layer + ecological layer in view of the market trends and needs of the driverless era, breaking through the limitations of traditional car manufacturing.

From the Vast SEA architecture for the era of intelligent electric vehicles to the Vast-M architecture for the era of unmanned driving, the technical accumulation and capabilities of Extreme Kr are extremely forward-looking. Through the pilot commercialization pilot of the first cooperation with Waymo, the Haohan-M architecture can also feed back into the passenger car market in the future, thereby enhancing the competitiveness of the Kr brand industry, which should also be the forward-looking performance of Kr's future business thinking.
