In the face of the great changes and reconstruction of the industry, GAC Trumpchi pressed the accelerator button for the brand transformation with leading technology
The theme of the summit is "The New Landscape: Transformation and Reconstruction". This is also a problem that the automotive industry is facing in the era of new energy. At the relevant talks on the automotive industry, Feng Xingya, General Manager of GAC Group, also shared his insights on new energy transformation and industrial layout. He said: "The transformation to a technology-based enterprise is the unswerving strategic goal and action plan of GAC Group in recent years, especially in the field of intelligent networked new energy vehicles, such as Sanden technology and intelligent network technology, which should be said to be at the forefront of the industry, and these technological breakthroughs should be said to have laid the foundation for enhancing the competitiveness of Chinese automobile products in the international market." Outside the market, GAC Trumpchi is also actively carrying out the layout and accelerating the pace of transformation into a new energy technology enterprise.
As one of the earliest independent brands in China to explore new energy technology, GAC Trumpchi has 14 years of relevant technical experience. In 2021, GAC Trumpchi promoted brand transformation with the "XEV+ICV" dual-core drive strategy, and won the sales championship of Chinese brand HEV in one fell swoop, taking a key first step in transformation. At the Shanghai Motor Show in April 2023, GAC Trumpchi announced that it had officially entered the era of "XEV+ICV" dual-core strategy 2.0, and handed over its first answer sheet in May, the Trumpchi New Energy E9, which held a listing conference at the Great Hall of the People.
It is equipped with GAC Trumpchi's latest generation of smart electric technology, equipped with a 2.0T plug-in hybrid system, with a maximum comprehensive range of 1442 kilometers and a pure electric range of 136 kilometers, redefining the market standard of new energy luxury MPV with the differentiated product advantages of "Ning, Energy, Wisdom and Yuan". At the same time, as the designated vehicle for China's North and South Poles investigation, it accompanied the "Xue Long" to the North Pole, escorted the Arctic scientific expedition, and completed the long-term test across Eurasia with an outstanding performance of 0 faults throughout the journey, allowing the world to realize the quality and strength of China's new energy luxury MPV.
After Trumpchi New Energy E9 successfully emerged from the circle with its proud strength, GAC Trumpchi quickly launched the second flagship product of transformation - the full-size travel SUV Trumpchi New Energy ES9. It takes the shape of a domineering outdoor traveler and a dragon scale wing shape with a scientific and technological atmosphere, bringing a new choice to delight themselves in the new era. In terms of power system, Trumpchi New Energy ES9 also adopts a 2.0T PHEV dedicated engine matched with planetary two-speed hybrid special transmission, plus a 25.57kWh battery pack, using China Xeon three electric technology to bring a strong and energy-saving tram experience, while successfully overcoming mileage anxiety, which is more advanced than the super.
In addition to the existing new energy market, GAC Trumpchi is also investing in research and development in various flexible fuel engine technologies such as hydrogen and ammonia. At present, the Julang-hydrogen hybrid system has been successfully installed on the flagship model Trumpchi E9 hydrogen hybrid version, which is the first vehicle equipped with hydrogen hybrid system in China, providing a new idea for achieving carbon neutrality. At the same time, GAC Group has also developed the world's first ammonia engine for passenger cars, which uses liquid ammonia as fuel to achieve reliable ignition of ammonia fuel in the cylinder, once again reflecting the brand characteristics of GAC Trumpchi planning for the future.
At present, both the world and China have ushered in a new pattern of development. In order to cope with unknown challenges, both enterprises and economies need to have new horizons and new paths to promote the reconstruction of a benign order. For the automotive industry with intensified changes, this trend is undoubtedly more significant, how to meet the reshuffle of the industry and win the second half is a topic that every car company needs to study. GAC Trumpchi chose to accelerate the brand transformation, and with the support of China's strongest three electric technologies, it continued to explore and layout new energy technologies, products and even the industrial chain, so as to help Chinese automobiles break through. Next, GAC Trumpchi will also launch more new energy models, including Trumpchi New Energy E8, to cover more vehicle needs, and bring a smarter and green travel experience to more users.
