A hundred years of struggle, open a new voyage ~
This year marks the 160th anniversary of the founding of Changan Automobile. In order to continue to carry forward the "spirit of innovation", Changan Automobile held the "2022 Changan Automobile Global Partner Conference" and announced the latest research and development results and a new corporate development strategy.
In order to cater to the trend of new energy in automobiles, Changan Automobile's conference focused on the field of new energy, with the comprehensive planning of "new technology + new brand + new product", and practiced its strong determination to transform into an intelligent low-carbon travel technology company.
New technology: new energy, intelligent
As one of the earliest car companies in China involved in the field of new energy vehicles, Changan Automobile's new energy planning began in 2001, and has now gone through three stages of technical research, industrialization promotion and market-oriented operation, realizing the development process from prototype to mass production. In the field of new energy technology, Changan Automobile has always adhered to innovation and research and development, and has mastered more than 400 core technologies.
Changan Automobile's new generation of seven-in-one super-collector electric drive released in 2021 is scheduled to achieve mass production in 2022. The electric drive system deeply integrates seven major assemblies such as motor and reducer, which can not only meet the application needs of front drive, rear drive and four wheel drive, but also has super advantages such as high integration, extreme efficiency, and extreme speed silence. Moreover, the use of electric drive high-frequency pulse heating technology, even in the environment of -30 ° C, can also bring the effect of heating 4 ° C per minute for the battery, so that the power and charging performance of the battery in the low temperature environment are greatly guaranteed, and the problem of short endurance and slow charging in winter is perfectly solved.
For electric vehicles, in addition to the range, another big problem is battery safety. Changan Automobile attaches great importance to battery safety, and through the active and passive dimensions of battery safety technology, it has achieved a breakthrough in the core technology of "2+7", effectively avoided the hidden danger of the battery's entire package of thermal runaway fire, and eliminated the safety anxiety of electric vehicles.
In addition, Changan Automobile has also created a "seven-in-one" intelligent vehicle domain controller - Changan Smart Core SVDC, the new product is smaller in size, the performance is improved, but the cost is lower, and it is suitable for all new energy models, and can also bring users a car experience of "thousands of faces, commonly used and new" through leading OTA functions.
Changan Automobile's technology research and development direction also includes the field of intelligence. Changan Automobile's newly listed passenger cars after 2020 have achieved 100% networking, and the sales of intelligent and connected vehicles have also increased to 72.4%.
At present, Changan Automobile has mastered more than 200 intelligent core technologies such as visual perception and multi-mode fusion, of which as many as 26 items such as integrated adaptive cruise (IACC), remote intelligent parking (APA6.0), and remote parking (APA5.0) are the first in China. At the level of intelligent assisted driving technology, Changan Automobile has reached the L3 level and is jointly developing L4 level with partners, and has now realized demonstration operation in the open road scenario.
The innovative breakthrough in new technology research and development is an important step for Changan Automobile to move towards the new energy market.
New brand: electrification, high-end
At this conference, Changan New Energy released a new pure electric brand - Changan Pure Blue.
Blue is the color full of life and hope, Changan Automobile is named "deep blue", symbolizing its exploration, life, science and technology, and future in the field of new energy. According to the official introduction, the Changan Deep Blue brand will innovate, develop and design forward-looking products through the industry-leading platform architecture to subvert users' cognition of future travel, and will also build a new digital ecology of Skynet Interconnection to create more diversified and personalized intelligent and interesting scenes and services to provide users with green and healthy efficient travel solutions.
In addition to Changan Deep Blue, Changan Automobile also proposed to focus on building a global brand in the field of high-end SEV - Avita. Different from Changan Deep Blue, Avita takes Changan Automobile Holdings and Ningde Times as the second largest shareholder, and Huawei as a strategic partner, which is an independent operating brand that aggregates the advantages of Changan Automobile, Huawei and Ningde Times, and is also the world's first high-end intelligent electric vehicle brand equipped with Huawei HI. At present, the four vehicle products planned by Avita cover the main segments of the mid-to-high-end market, and the first model built on the CHN platform, the Avita 11, is about to achieve mass production.
With deep blue covering the low-end market and Avita covering the high-end market, Changan Automobile's new energy dual-brand line strategy has initially taken shape.
New products: diversified and targeted
On the road of new energy, Changan Automobile is not all in pure electric, but takes the route of internal combustion engine, pure electric, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, range extender and hydrogen fuel multi-channel parallel diversification.
After the new technology and new brands have been unveiled, Changan Automobile's product layout has also opened a global speed-up mode.
Changan Automobile plans to launch 36 new products this year, including the explosive new products that have been successfully launched in the first quarter: the second-generation CS75PLUS, UNI-V, etc., while the second-generation CS55PLUS, UNI-K and UNI-T, which are highly loved by users, will also usher in upgrades and changes.
As for the new energy field, C385EV, C673EV, UNI-KPHEV, UNI-V PHEV, Auchan Z6-PHEV will also debut this year, based on the EPA1 platform to build the first future technology electric coupe C385 is scheduled to be officially listed in the second half of this year; the first domestic mass-produced hydrogen fuel cell sedan is also about to debut.
For the electric small car market, Changan has also completed the planning of 4 new products, of which the national classic scooter LUMIN based on the EPA0 platform is planned to be launched this year.
2022 is a big year for the release of Changan Automobile products.
On the occasion of the 160th anniversary of its establishment, Changan Automobile also put forward the development direction of low-carbon emission reduction: "achieving carbon peak in 2027 and carbon neutrality in 2045", and at the same time setting a sales "small goal": in 2025, the total sales volume reached 4 million vehicles, of which 3 million were Changan brand vehicles, and new energy sales reached 1.05 million vehicles, accounting for 35%; in 2030, 5.5 million vehicles were sold, of which 4.5 million were Changan brand vehicles, and new energy sales reached 2.7 million vehicles, accounting for 60%.
The editor has something to say:
In 2021, Changan Automobile's cumulative sales exceeded 1.75 million, reaching the highest brand sales in history, of which the sales of new energy vehicles exceeded 100,000, successfully breaking into the top ten in the industry. While maintaining high sales, Changan Automobile is also constantly seeking development and progress, and constantly optimizing its brand and product structure.
This conference not only showed changan automobile's past brilliant achievements, but also looked forward to the future to further expand and strengthen the target direction. The "2022 Changan Automobile Global Partnership Conference" demonstrates Changan Automobile's strong determination to transform into an intelligent low-carbon travel technology car company, and is a shot in the arm for Changan Automobile to inject into China's new energy vehicle market.
