As we all know, Tesla has a strong brand influence both internationally and domestically, and new car sales are also very large. Who in today's auto market has the most ability to shake Tesla's position, is it a Japanese car? Apparently not. Is it a German car? It doesn't seem like that either. So who is it? I think the Chinese auto market has the most potential to challenge Tesla, in fact, this situation has slowly formed.
Back to the domestic auto market, which car company do you think is the most promising, ISD? Not strictly. Because most of BYD's new cars are hybrid, and Tesla uses pure electricity, the buyers between the two have very different attributes. So is it the ideal car? Obviously not, because ideal products and Tesla have almost no intersection. Is it Xiaopeng? Or NIO? Instead, I think it is the E-an brand of GAC Group. If in the past few years, Chinese car companies are still relatively shy, then in the past two years, independent brands have begun to emerge, no longer camouflage, tear off the mask and dry directly.
The GAC Aean brand we want to talk about today sold 20317 vehicles in March this year, it is the champion of the sales of the new force smart pure electric SUV, which is more outstanding than the sales of Xiaopeng and Weilai, and it is most appropriate to describe GAC Eian with a sudden rise.
Just as the so-called one minute on the stage, ten years of work offstage, GAC Aean's overnight explosion is not sudden, from the beginning of its establishment has attached great importance to the research and development of science and technology, is a technology-driven new car enterprise, but also the only domestic EV and ICV field have a particularly advanced technology of the new energy vehicle company, so the speed of development of GAC Aeon is quite fast. In the field of new energy vehicles, it has a variety of scientific and technological innovations, which has become a benchmark in the industry, and also has the world's leading intelligent ecological factory.
Interestingly, GAC Aean is a car company that has been positioned in scientific and technological innovation since its inception, so it gives people the feeling that the EIAN brand is full of vitality and innovation, which seems to be very different from state-owned enterprises, but in fact, GAC Aean is a real state-owned enterprise. GAC Ae-on not only has a series of technical backgrounds of traditional car companies, but also has a vibrant innovative thinking, rigorous workmanship, coupled with subversive technological innovation, which makes GAC Ae-on smooth sailing in the next road and quickly win the sales crown.
Whether it is a new energy vehicle or a traditional fuel vehicle, the quality process of the new car is absolutely the top priority, one of the biggest advantages of GAC Aean is naturally its quality and process level, using Honda, Toyota's equally strict lean production model, so that its new car has higher quality requirements, and has a higher intelligent design.
For a new car-making force, GAC Ae-An has a smart ecological factory, equipped with steel and aluminum body flexible production, digital independent decision-making, interactive customization and comprehensive utilization of energy and other four leading scientific and technological advantages in the world, which also makes GAC Aean and some traditional new energy vehicles have a completely different design, whether in the quality of new cars or in the height of environmental protection, GAC Aeon requirements are very high.
It is precisely because of the above advantages that GAC Aean's sales volume is getting higher and higher, so GAC Aeon Intelligent Ecological Factory has ushered in a comprehensive increase in production capacity, and in February this year, GAC Aean Plant completed a major increase in production capacity in only 15 days, which also showed the outside world the ultra-high capabilities of GAC Group. And the second plant with a capacity of 200,000 will also be completed by the end of the year, which is due to the strength of the brand on the one hand, and the growing order sales volume on the second. According to GAC's plan, it can achieve a production capacity of 400,000 yuan in 2023, which is particularly rare in the domestic automotive market.
At present, GAC Aean has owned four different types of new cars, the speed of releasing new cars is quite fast, the price range from 137,600 to 469,600, the price span is very wide, the configuration of new cars is also very rich, which allows consumers to have more choices.
We can look at it, the vast majority of the new car under the new car-making forces are only one or two models, not only the product matrix is thin, but also the configuration is relatively single. In contrast, GAC Aeon has a rich configuration and many types of new cars, which is actually supported by strong research and development strength and strong product supply chain. So that's why I say that GAC Aeon is the new Chinese car-making force that can most threaten Tesla.
When many car brands are still anxious about the endurance of new cars, GAC Aean's products already have a new car that breaks through 1000km of pure electric endurance, which is AION LX. Therefore, it can also be seen that GAC Aeon does have deep technical barriers and strong technical reserves in the field of new energy vehicles.
I have to say that the era of Tesla's once said nine words is slowly passing, more and more domestic goods are rising, just like GAC Aean, a new car-making force, backed by the advantages of large groups, it is easy to pose a relatively large threat to Tesla. Tesla, are you ready?
