1. At the beginning of the New Year of the Tiger, Changan Automobile dismissed all senior personnel and re-hired them by means of competitive recruitment. At the same time, senior executives at the level of general manager and below, the party and the masses, and senior management personnel will also adopt the tenure system. During the term of office, in addition to assessing the ability of the position, the company will also evaluate from multiple dimensions such as the rejuvenation of senior personnel, knowledge structure, and personality characteristics. This incentive system is easier to mobilize the creativity and hard work of employees, and it is also more conducive to Changan completing the transformation task of intelligent low-carbon travel technology companies during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period. In order to complete the transformation, Changan Automobile will invest 150 billion yuan to focus on the five dimensions of software, intelligent technology, low carbon, new business model and high-end talents.
Autonomous vehicle review: Although Changan Automobile has successfully stabilized sales in the past two years, Changan's reform is always on the road. Through competitive recruitment, Changan will effectively get rid of the shortcomings of state-owned enterprises and realize the renewal of the group's leadership.
2. The new energy auto parts manufacturing company invested by the home appliance giant Midea Group landed in Anqing, Anhui Province, at the same time, Midea's high-profile announcement will enter the supply chain of half of the world's mainstream new energy vehicle customers within this year. At present, Midea's motors, electronic controls and compressors have successfully entered the supply chain of FAW and Jianghuai Automobile. Today, Midea's automotive components division will also invest $1 billion in research and development of leading technologies.
Independent car review: For Gree electric appliances and Midea electrical appliances, the traditional home appliance market has gradually touched the ceiling with the saturation of the real estate market, so if you want to regain growth, you must seek market breakthroughs in new areas, and new energy vehicle accessories will be a good track.
3. After taking down the production bases of Zotye such as Hanteng and Hanlong Automobile, Linyi Zotye Automobile Base has recently been taken over by Great Wall Motors. It is reported that the linyi vehicle and parts project production base mainly includes an annual output of 120,000 vehicle production bases, engine and parts production bases, which can drive more than ten supporting enterprises in the automobile industry to settle in, which is conducive to activating idle production capacity. At the beginning of last year, the news that Baoneng took over the Linyi factory of Zotye went away, but in the end it failed to take over.
Independent car review: Although Zotye Automobile has obtained the entry of new investors, it is obviously not Zotye that wants to revitalize so much of its production capacity, so selling the factory to the Great Wall to expand production capacity is a win-win choice for all parties.

5. Mazda recently released a trailer for the brand's new SUV CX-60, which will be premiered in the European market on March 8. The new car is expected to be the first Mazda to offer a PHEV plug-in hybrid, and will also be the brand's first to adopt a "Large Vehicle Product Group" platform. The CX-60 will be a two-row, five-seat SUV, and the new car will be powered not only by an in-line 4-cylinder car engine, but also with a new in-line 6-cylinder engine, and a new generation of Mazda diesel engine.
Autonomous Car Review: Although Mazda's presence in the Chinese market is not high, it has always been outstanding in the development of new models and fuel economy. If it is a friend who is considering a fuel car, then Mazda is also worth looking forward to.
