On March 10, Feifan Automobile and SAIC Group Innovation Research and Development Institute (hereinafter referred to as "SAIC Innovation Research and Development Institute") announced a strategic cooperation, the two sides will carry out in-depth cooperation around design, intelligent driving, smart cabin, "three electricity" and other fields through the model of co-creation, integrate innovative research and development resources, accelerate the layout and landing of forward-looking technologies, and further develop the high-end intelligent electric vehicle market. On the same day, the Feifan Design Co-creation Center and the Feifan Intelligent Driving Co-creation Center jointly built by the two sides took the lead in unveiling. In the follow-up, the co-creation model projects of Feifan Automobile, Zero Beam Technology, SAIC Jieneng and other small giants of SAIC Technology will also be landed.
On March 1, SAIC Motor announced the establishment of SAIC Innovation Research and Development Institute, which will fully integrate its five major information technology centers (software, artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, network security) and other advantageous resources, form a team of more than 10,000 independent R&D talents, and create a strong "technology base" to help SAIC Group innovate and transform. With the establishment of SAIC Innovation Research and Development Institute, the Feifan Design Co-creation Center and Feifan Intelligent Driving Co-creation Center, which it jointly built with Feifan Automobile, have also officially surfaced.
Lu Yong, executive vice president of SAIC Innovation R&D General Institute, said: "SAIC Innovation R&D Institute will run through the innovation chain, 'connect' many innovative businesses and resources into an ecological closed loop, form a joint force, promote the research and development of key core technologies, including the vehicle architecture of software and hardware, common high-value modules, and forward-looking technologies, accelerate the industrialization of 'intelligent new terminals' - new energy intelligent networked vehicles, and continue to empower SPIC's own brands such as Feifan Automobile to form differentiated competitive advantages." Create highly competitive products. ”
According to the strategic cooperation and co-creation model reached by the two sides, Feifan Automobile will be deeply integrated with SAIC Innovation Research and Development Institute through the mode of Feifan Co-creation Center, and carry out in-depth exploration and co-creation in the fields of intelligent vehicle modeling design and development, intelligent driving technology reserves, intelligent cockpit software and hardware integration and scene application, so as to comprehensively improve development efficiency, quickly respond to user needs, and lead the upgrading of the intelligent automobile industry.
Wu Bing, CEO of Feifan Automobile, said: "Since its inception, Feifan Automobile has implemented the concept of co-creation to every link from product definition, service design to ecological layout. Feifan Automobile not only adheres to co-creation with users, but also firmly co-creates with internal and external ecological partners in the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain. Co-creation center with SAIC Innovation Research and Development Institute is not only the embodiment of the strategic landing of Feifan Automobile's asset-light independent operation model, but also a powerful exploration of our ability to rely on SAIC's high-quality resource endowments, integrate the latest self-owned technologies, and quickly seize the commanding heights of the core technology of intelligent electric vehicles. ”
It is worth mentioning that the "extremely intelligent high-end pure electric SUV" Feifan R7, which will be launched this year, is a blockbuster model that fully demonstrates the joint achievements of both sides. As a masterpiece that gathers the world's cutting-edge technology resources, Feifan R7 uses a new design concept and the world's top intelligent driving technology to allow users to easily enjoy the technological dividends and a beautiful smart travel experience.
Under the guidance of Feifan Design Co-creation Center, Feifan R7 expresses high-level aesthetics with rational design, crafts every detail with ingenuity, expresses the mechanical aesthetics of automobiles with minimalist lines, and gives it strong vitality with extremely intelligent technology. The details show elegance and authenticity, making everyone who touches it excited. Feifan Intelligent Driving Co-creation Center will first focus on high-end intelligent driving solutions, Feifan R7 adopts the full-stack self-developed PP-CEM pixel-level point cloud fusion high-order intelligent driving solution, equipped with luminar high-gauge lidar, Premium 4D imaging radar, Nvidia Orin super computing intelligent driving chip, enhanced version of long-distance point cloud angle radar and other world-class intelligent driving configurations, which will raise the experience and safety level of intelligent driving to a new height.
In the future, Feifan Automobile will continue to deepen the strategic cooperation with SAIC Innovation Research and Development Institute, and through the co-creation model and more industrial chain ecological partners, continue to improve the co-creation technology research and development system, form a unique technology development and accumulation model of Feifan, and build a win-win intelligent vehicle "big ecosystem".
