On April 25, Qingdao United New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd. held a brand conference of "front-end battery swap, unlimited battery life" at the 2024 (18th) Beijing International Automobile Exhibition, and released its self-developed and world-first fourth-generation front-end battery swap overall solution, and brought 10 front-end battery swap models and AI intelligent movable smart battery swap stations to the exhibition. The revolutionary breakthrough brought by the front-end battery swap technology to the industry not only demonstrates the innovation ability of United New Energy in the automotive field, but also is a model presentation of "new quality productivity" on the world stage, indicating that the global automotive industry is about to usher in a subversive change.
At present, despite the rapid development of the new energy vehicle industry on a global scale, the issue of energy replenishment efficiency is still a major challenge for the industry. The traditional charging mode and chassis battery swap mode cannot meet the growing market demand due to their respective technical defects, and the "1155" front-end battery swap system, which is the first in the world to be pioneered by United New Energy, provides an effective solution to solve this worldwide problem with its fast, efficient and economical characteristics.
According to reports, the "1155" front-end battery swap system of United New Energy provides mobile battery swap services for 5 types of commercial vehicles and 5 types of passenger cars through the combination of different numbers of series and parallel connections of 1 standard battery and 1 general battery swap station, which not only realizes the standardization and sharing of batteries, but also brings users an efficient and convenient energy replenishment experience of 3 minutes of automatic battery swapping and 500 meters of intensive deployment of battery swap stations, completely relieves mileage anxiety and realizes "unlimited battery life".
At the press conference, the senior management of United New Energy Company and customer representatives jointly pressed the handprint on the large screen to officially announce the "world premiere of all 10 front-end battery swap models of United New Energy". The model includes 5 commercial vehicles: light trucks, micro trucks, and large/medium/small vans, and 5 passenger cars: A00 class, A-class, SUVs, MPVs, and minibuses, covering all models except heavy trucks. In addition to the convenient and efficient energy replenishment, the safety performance is also excellent, the use of more stable lithium iron phosphate batteries, equipped with battery compartment protection, master-slave BMS system, real-time monitoring in the battery swap station, to ensure that the battery is healthy, safe, and will never spontaneously combust. At the same time, the "separation of vehicle and electricity" makes the cost of car purchase "lower than oil", and the cost of car use is directly halved, providing a "faster, better and more economical" car use plan for the green transformation of the logistics urban distribution industry and people's daily low-carbon travel.
In the demonstration session, the scene of the AI smart battery swap station providing services for 10 models at the same time amazed the audience and the media. The whole battery swapping process does not require manual intervention, and each vehicle only needs 3 minutes to complete the battery swap.
The relevant person in charge of United New Energy said that the AI intelligent mobile smart battery swap station has the ten advantages of "small, provincial, high, intelligent, fast, smart, complete, profitable, convenient and charged", a station only occupies 1/3 of the parking space, and the cost is only 1/20 of the traditional chassis battery swap; the construction period is short, the application scenarios are wide, and the deployment can be completed in 1 hour, which can efficiently meet the needs of users for battery swapping; the operation efficiency is high, the profit is fast, and the investment can be recovered in a short time, which has strong economic benefits for the battery swap station operator. At present, the company has started the recruitment of exclusive partners in 100 cities, and has achieved partner development in Shandong, Hebei, Jiangsu, Hunan, Guangzhou, Hainan and other regions, planning to build more than 100 stations in each city, and initially forming an urban battery swap operation network to support the operation of 300,000 new energy vehicles;
With the commercialization of the "1155" front-end battery swap system, United New Energy is expected to solve the pain points and blockages of the industry's development, promote the development of the industry in a fast, healthy and sustainable direction, and open a new era of battery swap in the global automotive industry. With the continuous maturity of technology and the gradual recognition of the market, the front-end battery swap mode is expected to become the mainstream way of energy replenishment for new energy vehicles, and will play a key role in the green transformation of the global automotive industry.
