Facing the future, Changan New Energy has planned a new goal, which will be positioned as "the world's first-line mainstream electric vehicle brand" and strive for sales of 700,000 vehicles in 2025, accelerating the construction of China's top two new energy vehicle brands.

On January 24, the signing ceremony of the B round of financing of Chongqing Changan New Energy Automobile Technology Co., Ltd. was successfully held. The B-round capital increase of Changan New Energy was invested by 10 units, including Changan Automobile, raising a total of about 4.9773 billion yuan. In the end, the result of over-raising funds of nearly 2 billion yuan was obtained. In terms of core technology mastery, guided by the "Shangri-La Plan", Changan New Energy has mastered more than 200 breakthrough innovative technologies since the A round of financing. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, it is planned to break through 500 more innovative technologies and add 3,000 patents. Independently developed and built EPA0, EPA1 and EPA2 three industry-leading new dedicated electric vehicle platforms; independently master the development capabilities of the "three electricity" system, launched 0 fire battery, Changan new generation of super-collector electric drive, intelligent vehicle domain controller "Chang'an Smart Core", etc., of which the domestic leading super-collector electric drive system can achieve a weight reduction of 10%, power density increase of 37%, efficiency increase of 5%; independently master the vehicle integration capabilities, fully grasp the platform integration development, modular design, reliability verification, etc., of which the domestic leading super-collector electric drive system can achieve a 10% reduction in weight, a 37% increase in power density, and a 5% increase in efficiency; independently master the integration capabilities of the whole vehicle, fully grasp the platform integration development, modular design, reliability verification, Key technologies such as body, chassis, interior and exterior trim, and electrical appliance development.

As for Avita's future outlook, Changan Automobile said that on November 15, 2021, Avita Technology made its global debut in Shanghai. As a high-end lifestyle brand driven by technology, Avita Technology is committed to exploring future-oriented humanized travel technology and becoming the "embodiment of wisdom that understands you". To this end, the Avita brand for the first time put forward the "E.I. user demand theory system", that is, emotional intelligence, and thus shape the brand's DNA, through forward-looking aesthetics and warm technology to create a full-scene interconnected smart life, to promote the acceleration of the "era of emotional intelligent electric vehicles".

Based on the brand positioning and concept, Avita Technology will set the global design center in Munich, Germany, and led by chief design officer Nader Faghihzadeh personally led a team of senior designers from international diversified backgrounds, with a futuristic design concept, bold and confident, emotional intelligence, dynamic personality design principles, so that the sense of science and technology with a forward-looking future perspective and a warm and comfortable humanized design ride on the wings of technology, so that the car becomes a new generation of intelligent space that exceeds user expectations. The first body-in-white body of the Avita 11 was successfully trial-produced at the Chongqing plant in October last year. In the second quarter of this year, Avita 11 will be officially released, and the retail network will be unveiled one after another; in the third quarter, Avita 11 will achieve the first batch of mass production and user delivery. In addition, Avita plans to release four new vehicles in the next five years, and the CHN architecture is expected to fully release the intelligent electric capabilities and create a high-end electric vehicle with core competitiveness.

In terms of power, Changan Automobile continues to practice the strategic blueprint of the "Shangri-La Plan" under the background of national carbon peaking and carbon neutrality national policies, based on the established path of Blue Whale Power's full embrace of electrification, adhering to the spirit of Blue Whale Power's birth and leadership, pursuing the ultimate research and development spirit, after more than 500 engineers from 10 countries, 6 years of continuous polishing and tempering, the launch of the Blue Whale iDD Hybrid System (intelligent Dual Drive). Blue Whale iDD represents the global intelligent oil-electric dual-drive system, the whole domain is the "full speed domain, full field domain, full temperature domain, full time domain" collectively referred to, it can be applied to all models of A-class -C class platform.

It is reported that the Blue Whale iDD has realized the organic integration between the high-performance Blue Whale engine, the high-efficiency Blue Whale electric drive transmission, the super-capacity PHEV battery and the intelligent control system, so that users can get an infinitely close to the perfect driving experience without anxiety in any current scene and at any time.

For the implementation path of the intelligent strategy, Changan Automobile said that the company focused on the intelligent "Beidou Tianshu Plan" and supported by the technologies in the three major fields of intelligent networking, intelligent interaction and intelligent driving, to achieve intelligent network operation and build an intelligent automobile platform in stages. Changan Automobile has mastered more than 200 core technologies such as IACC and APA6.0, realized more than 70 intelligent functions such as IACC, APA6.0, intelligent voice, and flying screen interaction on mass-produced models, mastered more than 30 key core technologies of L3-level intelligent driving assistance, realized eight core functions, and realized the demonstration operation of L4-level intelligent driving assistance technology in open road scenarios in 2019. In the future, Changan Automobile will also focus on resources, accelerate software-defined vehicles, master intelligent core technologies, accelerate the layout of intelligent industries, create new growth points, fully promote the third innovation and entrepreneurship plan, and accelerate the transformation to an intelligent low-carbon travel technology company.

For the construction of the architecture, Changan Automobile said that based on the traditional automobile track, in November last year, the company released a new intelligent platform that can cover A-class to C-level, and has a life-like evolution - MPA Ark Architecture, which fully opened a new era of Changan Automobile R&D 4.0. In the future, we will continue to evolve the Ark architecture, from the traditional internal combustion engine to HEV, REEV, PHEV and other electrified power upgrades, to ensure that the power is increased by 30%, energy consumption is reduced by 30%, and will be combined with the intelligent growth of electronic and electrical architecture, to achieve the future of science and technology pre-positioning, human-vehicle integration genetics, experience design diversification, quality bottom line over-level "four modernization" new experience.

Based on the new automotive track, Changan Automobile strives to build an intelligent automotive super digital platform for users' full-scenario services - SDA architecture. The architecture will have four major characteristics: one is hardware plug and play, flexible and schedulable resources; second, global remote management, gradually realize open full vehicle scenarios can be arranged; third, digital ecology is open, according to user needs, open software functions can be subscribed; fourth, in the security situation, to achieve data closed-loop self-evolution, wisdom learning can grow. Based on the SDA software architecture form, experience, attributes of the change of the heart, will create a commonly used and new new species, to provide users with a safe, time-saving, worry-free, customizable ultimate experience, to provide partners with a reliable link of technical co-creation and ecological co-creation of infrastructure.
