Travel thinking: The first flying car to build a future three-dimensional travel ecology
The idea of making cars fly and giving new wings to the future of smart mobility is getting closer. GAC Flying Car GOVE made its debut at this Technology Day.
GAC Flying Car GOVE uses a separate body configuration, and the flight cabin and chassis can be freely separated or combined, so as to achieve the optimal utilization of the two major scenarios and attributes of flight and ground driving, aircraft and automobiles in a dynamic integration.
Wu Jian, President of GAC R&D Center, unveiled GAC Flying Car GOVE
With scenario-based thinking, GAC disassembled three major scenarios: ground driving, aerial flight and air-ground docking. In the ground scenario, GAC is equipped with the ADiGO PILOT automatic driving system, making the chassis a fully automatic mobile take-off and landing station, flying cars can fly and land, but also move in all directions, and have shared attributes, allowing the flight capsule to be freely paired and replenished at any time. In the aerial scene, GAC adopts 90% lightweight composite materials, equipped with a three-degree flight control system and multi-eye recognition technology, so as to realize the higher and more stable flight of the car. At the same time, aiming at higher standards in the aviation field, GAC uses the leading new energy three-electric system to make the flight greener and more powerful. In terms of air-ground docking, the application of aerospace-grade high-precision docking technology enables the flight capsule to be targeted and accurately docked by the chassis in advance when landing.
In terms of flight safety, GAC has used the MBSE system engineering concept, which is widely used in the aerospace field, to build a flying car R&D system based on model system engineering, ensuring the safety and reliability of the R&D to future mass production. In terms of power, the redundant design of the dual-backup multi-rotor power system allows the flight cabin to calmly complete the set flight mission even if a single power unit is abnormal in the air.

GAC flying car GOVE represents an exploration of GAC's three-dimensional mobility. The GAC Group will take this flying car project as the starting point to drive the upstream, midstream and downstream industrial chains to jointly invest and operate, and create a full-chain three-dimensional travel service of "multi-station-ground transportation-air transportation".

Energy Thinking: Explore multi-energy technologies to help achieve the goal of "dual carbon"
In order to help achieve the "dual carbon" goal at an early date, the GAC Group is actively exploring low-carbon, environmentally friendly and diversified automotive energy methods. GAC R&D Center, the R&D hub of the GAC Group, and GAC Trumpchi and GAC Aion, its own brands "Gemini", announced that the vehicle equipped with a hydrogen-electric hybrid system, the world's first ammonia engine for passenger cars, and an N-in-1 integrated electric drive system are in full bloom in their own fields.
GAC R&D Center is focusing on XEV technology routes such as REEV (range extender hybrid), PHEV (plug-in hybrid), and HEV (hybrid), as well as various flex-fuel engine technologies such as hydrogen and ammonia. The Julang-hydrogen hybrid system released on GAC Technology Day last year was successfully installed on the flagship GAC Trumpchi Smart Electric New Energy E9 after one year of research and development. This is GAC's major technological progress in the field of zero carbon emissions, and another breakthrough in the "dual carbon" strategy of China's automotive industry. It is also the first vehicle equipped with a hydrogen hybrid system in China, which is a new category that perfectly integrates zero carbon emissions and high efficiency and energy saving.
Qi Hongzhong, assistant president of GAC Research Institute, introduced the vehicle equipped with a hydrogen-electric hybrid system and ammonia engines
Hydrogen hybrid version E9
The hydrogen hybrid version of the E9 is equipped with a high-torque version of GAC's self-developed 2.0L hydrogen engine + GMC 2.0 electromechanical coupling system. On the basis of retaining the Trumpchi Zhidian New Energy E9 multi-mode drive hybrid system, GAC Research Institute has developed a special combustion system for hydrogen fuel, using medium and high pressure hydrogen direct injection in the cylinder, dedicated high-efficiency intake management system, high compression ratio and knock suppression technology, equipped with Trumpchi Zhidian New Energy E9 measured hydrogen consumption of less than 1.4kg per 100 kilometers, and the vehicle has a range of nearly 600 kilometers. The hydrogen hybrid version of E9 not only represents GAC's technological leap in the "dual carbon" strategy, but also a highly competitive solution for the new energy automobile industry on the road to green and sustainable development.
GAC's self-developed world's first ammonia engine for passenger cars uses liquid ammonia as fuel, precisely controls the phase change process of liquid ammonia fuel supply, makes the engine run smoothly and stably, and uses ultra-high-energy ignition technology to achieve reliable ignition of ammonia fuel in the cylinder, with a power of 120kW and a carbon reduction rate of 90%.

In terms of core "three electric technologies" (battery, electric drive, and electronic control), the GAC Group announced the N-in-1 integrated electric drive system, a product for the A-class pure electric platform. This is another pole of electric drive technology bred by the quark electric drive technology group released by GAC AION in March this year.
The N-in-1 integrated electric drive system is a deep integration of power supply, electric drive and thermal management, and uses high integration design deep empowerment to achieve the optimal design of the N-in-1 integrated electric drive system. The new computing power architecture is used to realize the reorganization of software and hardware resources and greatly improve computing power. Oriented to the A-class pure electric platform, it is compatible with front and rear drive, and achieves full coverage of A-class models with high platform scalability. With the deep integration of functions, N-in-1 integration technology makes products with both high performance and low cost. GAC AION's innovative spirit in the field of power technology has brought new energy vehicle power technology to a higher level.

Intelligent Linkage: Deeply cultivate software research and development, allowing users to customize travel scenarios
Software is redefining smart cars. Faced with the massive personalized needs of users, GAC Group has deeply cultivated the field of software research and development, guided by user thinking, and opened up a flexible, easy-to-use, and user-friendly software co-creation platform - ADiGO MAGIC GAC Magic Scenario Co-creation Platform.
Liang Weiqiang, Vice President of GAC Research Institute, released the ADiGO MAGIC GAC Rubik's Cube scenario co-creation platform
GAC Rubik's Cube Scenario Co-creation Platform uses SOA service-oriented architecture to service-orient more than 2,000 functions of the whole vehicle, so that functions can be arranged and combined at will in the graphical interface like "building blocks", and code is automatically generated to create an infinite number of personalized scenarios. After the scene code is verified by the digital mirror cloud simulation, it can be synchronized to the vehicle-side engine to achieve minute-level scene iteration.
Behind the technological revolution is a revolution in thinking: users are no longer just users, but also developers. Users can click and drag Rubik's Cube cards to develop the scene as they wish. All vehicle-end capabilities, including vehicle control, intelligent driving, ecological applications, etc., can be freely combined like building blocks to build personalized scenes, and they take effect immediately. Users can also share their own scenes with other users to participate in software co-creation. GAC Rubik's Cube scenario co-creation platform subverts the in-vehicle software development model and creates a new software ecosystem; Let the software iterate in minutes, let everyone become a developer, and let users define their own travel scenarios.
GAC Rubik's Cube scene co-creation platform can realize user scenario co-creation and sharing
The GAC Cube scene co-creation platform will be mass-produced with the GAC Aion Hyper GT equipped with the Xingling architecture, opening an intelligent era co-created by users and enterprises and building a new travel ecology.
GAC Group used the Technology Day to build a three-dimensional travel ecological blueprint
No technology, no GAC. With technological innovation, the GAC Group has built a three-dimensional travel ecological blueprint that integrates land and air for the future.
