"Feifan is confident that it will achieve at least 100% annual sales growth, and in the next 3 years, at least one new model will be launched every year, covering segments such as cars, SUVs and MPVs, focusing on the mid-to-high-end new energy vehicle segment." Wu Bing, CEO of Feifan Automobile, said at the media co-creation exchange meeting held on February 24.
Just two days before the press conference, Feifan Automobile announced the opening of reservations for the new flagship R7 ultra-intelligent high-end pure electric SUV. This is the first model of Feifan Automobile, which has been operating independently for only 120 days.
According to the latest plan announced by Wu Bing, Feifan is expected to become the head enterprise of high-end intelligent electric vehicles in 2025.
Where does FeiFan's faith come from?
Asset-light independent operating model
Wu Bing, who has a background in Internet entrepreneurship, said at the exchange meeting that Feifan will adopt an asset-light model of independent operation, integrate SAIC's resource advantages in intelligent manufacturing capabilities, technical capabilities, and research and development systems, and achieve profit targets through scale effects.
Wu Bing revealed that this summer, the R7 will leave the production line of SAIC's Lingang plant and deliver it to users.
"Co-creation" will become a feature of Feifan. Wu Bing said: "Feifan Automobile will set up a design co-creation center, a smart driving co-creation center, a smart cabin co-creation center and a three-electric co-creation center with saic motor's R&D and engineering departments, and establish a co-creation technology research and development system of Feifan Automobile, forming a unique technology development and accumulation model." ”
At the Beijing Auto Show in April this year, the R7's smart drive and smart cabin will reveal more specific information and participate in this year's fiercely competitive smart cockpit "card slot battle".
"Ceiling" level intelligent hardware lineup
"Hardware seems not to want money" is the biggest response of netizens after Feifan released the PP-CEMTM pixel-level point cloud fusion high-level intelligent driving solution at the "Co-Creator Conference" last March. The world's top intelligent driving configuration created by 33 perception hardware of the R7 vehicle has laid a good "pedestal" for the intelligent driving experience.
Although more software details of the R7 cannot be experienced until the Beijing Auto Show in April, according to the news released when R7 opened the small subscription on February 22, the R7 "ceiling" level hardware configuration is enough to trigger the user's reverie: the world's first mass production, the industry's top Luminar lidar solution, China's first PREMIER 4D imaging radar, Nvidia NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin's super computing chip...
"SAIC motor has sharpened a sword in five years and invested 20 billion yuan in the past to create an exclusive future-oriented intelligent evolution platform for Feifan Automobile." Wu Bing said.
Intelligence also further empowers the high-performance driving experience of this SUV. The R7 0-100km/h accelerates into 4 seconds and has a range of more than 600km. At the same time, the maximum peak power of the motor with direct waterfall oil cooling technology is 400 kW and the maximum peak torque is 700 Nm.
Create a smart energy supply ecology
This small booking, Feifan also announced a technology that has not been disclosed before: R7 will be equipped with QUICK CLICK reinforced battery quick change patent technology, the fastest as only two and a half minutes, the power exchange is safe, efficient and convenient.
All along, Feifan has emphasized the need to create a smart energy supply ecology. Previously, Feifan has eliminated the user's energy replenishment anxiety by laying out brand charging stations, rights charging stations, and accessing third-party charging piles.
Up to now, Feifan Automobile has laid out 114 brand charging stations and 1006 rights charging stations nationwide, and has joined hands with 44 mainstream charging operation service providers such as Telai, State Grid, and Anyue Charging to access more than 420,000 third-party charging piles.
On the track of smart electric vehicles, there are no products that are born perfect, only better products. "Authenticity, pioneering and taste are the brand DNA of Feifan." Wu Bing said frankly, "I am not from a technical and engineering background, and I may be able to look at the problem more from the perspective of users." In the future, Feifan will further take user-driven, digital-driven, and extreme intelligence-driven as the strategic direction to bring users more tangible functions and products that can reach pain points. ”
