Recently, the new energy brand Euler Auto, which focuses on the female consumer market, stopped the order acceptance of its two top-selling models "Black Cat" and "White Cat" at the terminal level, and according to the news on the Internet, Euler officially stopped the production of Euler Black Cat and White Cat, and these two models that can be ordered online on the official APP have also been removed.

However, in fact, the official of Euler did not affirm that the two models of black and white cats were "discontinued" on the Internet. According to the response of Great Wall Motor Group, the parent company of Euler Automobile, the two models of Euler Black Cat and White Cat were suspended because of the backlog of orders. Considering the shortage of chips and key components, the pressure on production capacity was alleviated from the top, and the negative car purchase experience caused by delivery delay was avoided downward. However, it is worth noting that it is not known whether to continue to produce these two models in the future.

Will black and white cats really stop production?

Let me guess first: yes. But maybe it’s between black cats and white cats.

The main reason is the price; There is a great overlap in price between the Ola black cat with a guide price of 598-102,800 yuan and the Ola white cat with a price of 718-106,800 yuan. Although there is a big difference in appearance design, from the budget point of view, it can almost be considered that the Ola black cat and the white cat serve the same consumer group.

In addition, in terms of price dimension, Euler black cat and white cat in the price range of 60,000-100,000 yuan are actually in a very awkward position. If the cute appearance is the main selling point to attract the attention of young female consumers, Wuling Hongguang MINI and Chery QQ ice cream are obviously more attractive with lower price and petite size.

And if it is an ordinary family user who pursues space, it is obviously a bit unrealistic to buy black cats and white cats with a price of about 100,000 yuan. After all, the price of larger Euler good cats is also in the early 100,000 yuan, and good cats have also delivered good sales results in the market. Therefore, black cats and white cats forced to "involute" can just be "victims" of optimizing resource allocation and capacity ratio of Euler cars by the objective fact of "lack of cores". Of course, it is not excluded that Euler will still keep an entry-level model for consumers to choose from in the future. After all, Euler’s popularity started from the black cat model, and the black cat at that time was also called R1.

As a brand of new energy vehicles under the Great Wall Group, which mainly faces the female consumer market, Euler has not been established for a long time, but this brand, which was born in the second half of 2018, has become one of the most powerful new energy brands in marketing in just over three years, and since 2020, the brand of Euler Automobile has focused on the process of brand high-end.

According to the plan of Euler brand, this year, Euler will launch brand-new products with very topical names, such as "Ballet Cat", "Lightning Cat", "Punk Cat" and "Cherry Cat". After the concept car is exhibited, it is not difficult to see that Euler brand has to rely on new products to boost its brand image.

What is more important for Euler Motors this year is to rebuild its reputation.

After Euler stopped accepting new orders for black cats and white cats, it can be said that up to now, only three production models of Euler Good Cat, Euler Good Cat GT and compact sedan Euler iQ are on sale, but the reputation of Euler Good Cat with the highest sales volume is still in crisis.

In November last year, the story of Euler’s good cat car chip appeared on CCTV news, which actually had great stamina. According to the news, at the beginning of this year, there were still many car owners complaining about this problem. At the beginning of the new year, Euler Automobile not only needs to step up the delivery of the backlog of orders, after-sales service and other issues, but also needs to keep up with it. With Euler’s marketing ability, it can rebuild the reputation of Euler brand and add more reliability to the road of brand improvement. After all, at present, consumers can choose.

Conclusion: Euler’s future product layout is very interesting.

Although at present, Euler Auto has not stated whether the black cat and white cat models will be officially discontinued, it is not difficult to see that the Euler brand is undergoing another brand image transformation. According to the previous plan, Euler has a large number of new cars this year, but it is undeniable that there is a high degree of repeatability in the design perception. Therefore, how the Euler brand positions the brand-new products this year has become a dynamic news worthy of attention in the new energy vehicle market this year.

　　On October 4th, local time, EU member states voted and passed the proposal of the European Commission to impose tariffs on electric vehicles in China.

　　Tan learned that 10 EU member states voted in favor, 12 abstained, and Germany, Hungary, Malta, Slovakia and Slovenia voted against it.

　　Before the vote, Reuters was "airing views", and France, Italy, Poland and Greece will vote for it.

　　According to EU rules, two conditions must be met when the proposal is shelved — — Fifteen member States need to vote against it, and the number of opponents needs to reach 65% of the total population of the European Union. The combined population of France, Italy, Poland and Greece has reached 39% of the total population of the EU. That is to say, even if other countries are opposed, the total population is only 61%, which is still below the standard line of 65%.

　　Faced with this result, people familiar with the matter told Tan Zhu:

　　Not long ago, when Minister of Commerce Wang Wentao visited Europe, the European side showed its political will and was still willing to continue the talks. The European side also said that even the final ruling would not affect the continuation of the talks with China. China is in the attitude of consultation, and hopes to move in the opposite direction with the European side. Many issues can also be discussed. However, if the political will of the European side is only verbal and not reflected in action, it will be difficult to talk about it.

　　China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Mechanical and Electrical Products has been playing the role of the industry defender since the European Commission initiated a countervailing investigation on electric vehicles in China. The person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Mechanical and Electrical Products also went to Europe for many times to attend relevant hearings, and exchanged views with governments and professionals in many EU countries.

　　The head of the Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Mechanical and Electrical Products said that many EU member states voted in favor of imposing tariffs on China in order to "force" China enterprises to invest in Europe in this way.

　　In fact, from the argument mentioned by the European side that "even the final ruling will not affect the continuation of talks with China", we can see this kind of thinking of the European side — — I hope to reserve the "power" to launch unreasonable investigations, but I am also worried that I will lose my face and lose the opportunity to introduce China’s capital and technology.

　　China’s attitude towards these small thoughts is also very clear. If it supports taxation, it will lose investment.

　　The industry made it clear that:

　　You can’t have your cake and eat it. An open and fair market environment is the most favorable factor to attract investment. The EU cannot impose tariffs on China products and expect China enterprises to invest and cooperate in Europe at the same time.

　　Tan Zhu has mentioned before that the European side has always taken reducing tariffs as a "bargaining chip" in negotiations, but the amount of tariffs is not the key point. The act of collecting tariffs itself is the key point.

　　The European side imposed tariffs on the grounds that China enterprises enjoyed "unfair subsidies". As long as tariffs were imposed, subsidies were recognized. Even if the tariff rate is lower, as long as the subsidy is recognized, the European side can use other means to suppress China enterprises.

　　These means, including the Regulations on Foreign Subsidies, even create some new means and regulations.

　　Therefore, after seeing the voting results, China also took a clear-cut stand.

　　What does it mean to support tariffs and lose investment?

　　We must know that the electrification transformation of European cars has not gone smoothly.

　　The data shows that this year, the sales growth rate of new energy vehicles in Europe has slowed down. One of the important reasons why European consumers are unwilling to choose electric vehicles is that the competitiveness of electric vehicles produced by European car companies is obviously backward.

　　The European Union has formulated a ban on the sale of fuel vehicles in 2035, and electrification is the direction that European car companies have to choose.

　　However, the electrification of European car companies faces two problems. First, compared with traditional fuel vehicles, the labor required for manufacturing electric car parts is only half of the former. In other words, turning to electrification will bring employment problems.

　　Second, the current cultivation of electric vehicle market in Europe is not ideal, and European car companies have great advantages in the research and development and production of fuel vehicles, which leads to some hesitation and hesitation of European car companies.

　　As a result, European car companies have made double investments in fuel vehicles and electric vehicles. But we must know that the research and development of electric vehicles is also very expensive.

　　Under such circumstances, there are only two ways to save European car companies:

　　｜｜First, on the premise of ensuring the product strength, reduce the R&D and production costs as much as possible;

　　｜｜Second, the European electric vehicle market has grown rapidly and there has been an obvious market shift.

　　Both of these situations are inseparable from one condition — —Cooperate with China..

　　At this point, European car companies are far more clear than European politicians.

　　Previously, the chairman of BMW Group publicly stated many times that the imposition of tariffs would not only hit German automakers, but also intensify trade frictions between China and Europe, and even trigger a "trade dispute that no one can benefit from". The person in charge of Mercedes-Benz has repeatedly expressed opposition to the imposition of tariffs.

　　Just one day before the EU vote, BMW made a new move — — It is reported that BMW has ruled out the possibility of participating in the next round of financing of Swedish battery manufacturer Northvolt.

　　Beifu Company was once regarded as "the promising star of new energy in Europe". In 2020, before Beifu officially started production, BMW signed a long-term contract with it worth 2 billion euros. Subsequently, a number of European car companies, including Volkswagen, reached a contract with them of more than 55 billion US dollars.

　　Not only did they give orders, but these car companies also became investors of Beifu Company and participated in the investment in the company.

　　The German government also has high hopes for it, and this year, the German government provided it with assistance of up to 900 million euros.

　　But the result is that Beifu Company has been "jumping tickets", first of all, the delivery time is delayed, and the battery quality is also problematic. Under such circumstances, BMW plans not to participate in the investment of Beifu Company.

　　From the perspective of Europe’s electrification transformation, Europe needs China more.

　　If you support taxation, you will lose investment and lose the opportunity of electrification transformation.

　　These things, European countries have to think clearly.

　　Within Europe, there are many voices of opposition. Germany is one of them. Since the European Commission launched an unreasonable investigation on China’s electric vehicles, Germany has been running for opposing the EU’s tariff on China’s electric vehicles.

　　According to the disclosure, a few days before the vote, the German Chancellor has been communicating with other European leaders, repeatedly stressing that if the EU really imposes tariffs on China’s electric vehicles, the consequences will be very serious.

　　Not only the German government, but also the German industry is actively speaking out. On October 3rd, representatives of German trade unions and employees in the industry publicly issued a "joint opposition statement", clearly opposing the EU’s tariff increase on electric vehicles in China, saying that this "wrong way" will not solve the EU’s own problems.

　　In an internal vote in July, Germany abstained. This time, Germany clearly voted against it. Earlier, Malta, Hungary, Slovakia and Cyprus voted against it.

　　Not long ago, Spanish officials also called on the EU to solve the problem through negotiations.

　　Germany’s opposition is the highest, precisely because Germany has cooperated more with China in the automobile field and benefited more.

　　This vote is still some time away from the final ruling. For both China and Europe, it is still possible to solve the problem through negotiations.

　　This period of time is not only the time for Germany, which opposes taxation, to continue to work in other EU countries, but also the last window for those EU countries that voted in favor to seize the opportunity of new energy transformation. Can they grasp it?It depends on these countries themselves..

　　Master Tan learned that on October 7th, China and Europe will hold a new round of negotiations. Before talking, the European side needs to show sincerity and action.

It is reported that Leopard 8 is positioned higher than Leopard 5 and priced at 500,000 yuan, which will be officially listed in the third quarter of this year.

During the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, Equus Leopard 8 has been unveiled.

During the Beijing Auto Show in April this year, Leopard 8 was unveiled. At the same time, the car declaration map was also exposed not long ago. Specifically, Leopard 8 still adopts hard-core modeling, continuing the design style of Leopard 5.

Equation Leopard Car Leopard 8 Declaration Map

According to the previous declaration of Leopard 8, the roof is equipped with a laser radar, the front fender is equipped with a side-facing camera, and it is equipped with a high-level intelligent driving assistance system of the Eye of God, which will support urban and high-speed NOA functions in the future.

Leopard 8

Leopard 8 is equipped with a hidden door handle and black wheel eyebrows on the side of the car body, a wrap-around spare tire cover and a full-size spare tire on the rear, and the tailgate is designed with a side opening.

According to the application data, when the external spare tire is included, the length, width and height of Leopard 8 are 5195/1994/1875 mm, and the wheelbase is 2920 mm. When the roof rack is selected, the height of the car is 1905 mm, and six-seat and seven-seat models are available. In contrast, the length, width and height of the tank 700Hi4-T are 5090 (5110)/2061 (2122)/1952 (1986) mm, respectively, and the wheelbase is 3000 mm..

Tank 700Hi4-T

Leopard 8 is positioned in a medium and large SUV. According to the official statement of Equation Leopard Auto, the price of Leopard 8 is at the level of 500,000 yuan, which shows that the competitor of Leopard 8 will point to the tank 700Hi4-T. For reference, the sales volume of tank 700Hi4-T in April this year was 2006. Then the question is coming. How would you choose the above two cars? Welcome to leave a message after the article.

Do you want to buy two people for a double trip? There are still many players who don’t know. As an important issue in the game, let’s bring you a double trip to buy two people. I hope you like it.

Do I have to buy both for a double trip?

The main theme of this game is the double experience, so if players want to play with their friends, do they have to buy it? Can I buy one for two people to play with? After all, the price of the game is not low, and sometimes I find friends who are willing to play together, but it is not cost-effective because I have to pay double the price. Xiaobian, let me introduce it to you.

Do I need two people to buy it?

You don’t need this. You just need a player to buy it, and then you can invite your friends to experience it together.

Specific double play method:

Players need to download it on STEAM, then let your friends download the origin platform, then register this account, and then let your friends download a demo version for two people. Then you enter the game, then choose the second online, and then invite your friends to pull it in, and you can connect smoothly. Because it is an EA game, even if you download it on steam, you need to download this origin platform additionally before you can download the game.

In addition, if you want to connect online, you need an EA member. The first one seems to be 6 yuan, which is quite cheap. In addition, the game is sometimes unstable and needs to use an accelerator.

Generally speaking, the game of steam for two is very suitable for many people to experience together. You can find a friend to play with.

That’s all for two people. I hope it will help everyone.

On March 18th, the new model G318 of Deep Blue Auto was officially unveiled. The new car is positioned as a medium-sized SUV, with extended-range power system, air suspension, four-wheel drive system, electronic differential system and other equipment to compete with a group of "square box" hard-core SUVs.

Comment on Deep Blue G318 in a word:

Although it is a load-bearing body, it still has certain off-road ability. The brand-new power system and "smart magic carpet" suspension are worth looking forward to.

Advantages:

1. The departure angle of approach angle at 27 is 31, the maximum ground clearance is 240mm, and the maximum wading height is 650mm.

2. The torsional rigidity of the car body reaches 45,000 N m/deg.

3. The trunk has a volume of 818L, and there are 31 storage spaces in the car, and various body extension parts can be selected.

4. Extended-range electric driving force, with four-wheel drive system with rear drive as the mainstay, with a maximum output of 316kW.

5. Double wishbone+five-link suspension with air spring and CDC damper.

Insufficient:

1. There is still a gap between passability and some off-road vehicles with non-load-bearing bodies.

As a brand-new vehicle with a "hard-core technology" orientation, the design language of Deep Blue G318 is completely different from that of SL03 and S7, and the power, configuration and detail design are also targeted to cater to consumers who have both urban and outdoor needs. We can better understand this new car from the following highlights.

Highlight 1: Tough design and rich expandability

The appearance of G318 is particularly "hard" at first glance, with a large number of straight lines, strong front and rear bumpers, high-rise wheel arches, and scratch-resistant design for wheel arches and side skirts. The closed "armored face" front face shape is matched with the new C-shaped light group, which is simple but full of scientific sense.

In the rear part, the tailgate is designed to open to the right and equipped with electric suction function. In addition to the shape of the lamp group and the details of the nameplate, the square trailer hook of the original factory can also be installed, and the maximum towing mass is 1600kg.

The shooting car is also equipped with a roof rack with a spotlight, with a static load of 300kg and a dynamic load of 80kg. Full-size spare tire or "small schoolbag" storage box can be selected for tailgate, pedals are installed on the side of the car, and AT off-road tires or road tires can be selected for wheels. These legally optional original accessories are really good news for off-road players.

In terms of size, the dark blue G318 belongs to a medium-sized SUV. The body data of the shooting car is 5010mm/1985mm/1960mm (including spare tire and roof spotlights), and the length of the car when the storage box is installed at the rear is 4998 mm. Therefore, after removing the rear and roof fittings, the length of G318 is about 4.8~4.9m and the height is about 1.8m.

G318 approach angle has a 27 departure angle of 31, a longitudinal passing angle of 27.3, a maximum ground clearance of 240mm and a maximum wading height of 650mm. The height of the battery pack from the ground ranges from 278 to 348 mm (adjusted with the air suspension), and it is 318mm by default. Judging from the standards of the loaded body SUV, these indicators are really eye-catching.

Highlight 2: Excellent space practicality.

According to the feeling of static experience, G318 has done quite well in space utilization. After the front main driving position is adjusted, the head and leg space in the back row are close to two punches (height 176mm).

The rear seats are well supported, the cushion length is sufficient, and the floor is flat. The only drawback is that in order to take care of the flatness of the seat after folding, the back seat cushion is relatively straight and the thickness is average.

The storage space of the trunk of G318 is 818L, and the internal space is square, which is convenient for storage. The rear seat can be expanded to 1747L after being laid down, but the position of the rotating shaft is slightly raised after the rear seat is laid down, and the backrest also has a certain slope.

There is a 220V two-phase and three-phase power interface near the tailgate in the trunk, an air suspension control button on the left side that can reduce the convenience of taking things from the car body, and four circular anchor points that are convenient for self-expanding the fixed rope.

There are 31 storage spaces in the G318 car, and there are also some special designs for off-road scenes. The central armrest storage box is internally provided with air conditioning vents, and there is a large hollowing under the armrest platform. The upper layer is a 50W mobile phone wireless charging board and a cup holder with a cover, and the lower storage compartment is provided with three USB ports (two A ports and one C port) and a TF memory card slot.

The passenger glove box is large and regular, and there is a small hook on the left. When the four doors are opened, you can see the handlebars. The front row is located at the outermost position of the instrument panel, and the rear row is located at the inner side of the window edge of the B-pillar. The storage box under the car door has a considerable volume, and the left and right rear doors are respectively provided with USB power interfaces. The storage compartment inside the tailgate is very wide, and the middle is also limited.

Highlight 3: Extended range power and high-end chassis configuration

The torsional stiffness of G318′ s body reaches 45 000 N m/deg, and the data is bright, which helps to maintain good deformation resistance in complex terrain. This is also the emboldened spirit of Deep Blue who dares to shout "Who said that hard-core cross-country must have girders". However, it is undeniable that there is still a gap between G318 and some hard-core off-road vehicles with girders in terms of passability indicators.

G318 adopts the latest extended range power system of Deep Blue, with a 1.5T range extender, with a maximum power of 110kW. It is worth mentioning that this is a set of rear drive-based system. The rear motor power of the two-wheel drive version is 185kW, and the front motor of the four-wheel drive version is increased by 131kW, and the comprehensive power reaches 316kW. The whole system is equipped with 35.07kWh lithium iron phosphate battery.

The suspension configuration of G318 is really high-grade. It adopts the structure of front double wishbone and rear five-links. The front all-aluminum double wishbone is equipped with hydraulic bushing, and the air spring and CDC adjustable damping shock absorber are equipped to realize the adjustable height and hardness of the chassis.

Deep Blue Auto also said that in the future, G318 will upgrade the "smart magic carpet" function of real-time adjustment of suspension hardness by scanning the road information in front of the camera. In addition, according to the previously exposed test car video, the G318 can realize the function of "turning around in place" by locking the rear wheel.

Finally, the interior design is supplemented. The shooting car is not open for display because the car is not the final version, and the interior is not completely black. The material of the real car is acceptable, but the visual effect is really average. The official interior map released in the later period shows the optional green/gold stitching interior, with a luxurious style. In addition, the 14.6-inch central control panel shows some vehicle interfaces, such as vehicle off-road mode control.

Edit comments

Hard-core off-road vehicles with girders are good, but real hard-core off-road enthusiasts are still a minority in the market. Improving the off-road capability of self-supporting body SUV, giving consideration to both urban use and outdoor use without sacrificing too much chassis comfort and NVH performance, may bring a new trend of "hard-core" SUV with the help of extended range/plug-in hybrid power.

On July 11th, FAW Group officially announced that Bin Chen, former assistant to the president of Dongfeng Motor Group Co., Ltd., general manager of Shenlong Automobile Co., Ltd. and secretary of the Party Committee, officially became the standing committee member and deputy general manager of the Party Committee of China FAW Group Co., Ltd..

Bin Chen, born in October 1976, became the youngest deputy general manager of FAW Group.Previously, Lei Ping, member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee and deputy general manager who was also transferred from Dongfeng Group to FAW Group, retired because he was over 60 years old.

Recently, we learned that FAW-Volkswagen, the most important joint venture under FAW Group, has undergone major adjustments.Bin Chen took over the post of general manager of FAW-Volkswagen as the vice president of the group, while Pan Zhanfu, the current general manager of FAW-Volkswagen, will retire early.

This is a high-standard appointment to directly manage a joint venture company as the vice president of the group.

At the moment when the joint venture brand share is compressed, FAW-Volkswagen has also been challenged by the market, and the sales pressure is huge. Faced with such a situation, taking over FAW-Volkswagen as the deputy general manager of the group shows that FAW Group attaches great importance to FAW-Volkswagen.

Bin Chen, who once played a role in turning the tide in Shenlong Automobile, led Shenlong Automobile to sell 50,000 vehicles a year to 100,000 vehicles a year in a year, which doubled its sales.This also gives Bin Chen a label that he is good at playing against the wind. This time, Gao Gao became the general manager of FAW-Volkswagen. Presumably, the group also hopes that he can lead FAW-Volkswagen to achieve contrarian growth as soon as possible and stabilize the situation.

In addition,Wu Yingkai will succeed Nie Qiang and be promoted to deputy general manager of FAW-Volkswagen Automobile Co., Ltd. (business) and general manager of sales company.

Wu Yingkai was born in September, 1977. He used to be the director of the content marketing department of the user operation center of FAW-Volkswagen Sales Co., Ltd., and became the deputy general manager of FAW-Volkswagen Sales Co., Ltd. in early 2024, in charge of the mass brand market and user operation.

At present, FAW-Volkswagen has three main sections, namely FAW-Volkswagen Volkswagen brand, FAW Audi and Jetta.

In contrast, FAW-Audi suffers from higher market pressure and attention.Since the beginning of the year, FAW Audi dealers have repeatedly exposed the news of "quitting the network", which has repeatedly shaken the morale of Audi dealer network.

Recently, it was once again revealed that two Audi dealers switched to Huawei and became brand dealers in the world. The two dealers are Beijing Huayang Aotong, the largest FAW Audi dealer in Beijing, and Zhengzhou Zhongsheng Huidi, the largest FAW Audi dealer in Zhengzhou.

In addition to the defection of dealers, FAW Audi is also facing the same door squeeze of SAIC Audi.At this year’s Guangzhou Auto Show, SAIC-Audi launched a new Audi brand with letters-"Audi", and simultaneously launched a concept car. The car is jointly developed by Audi and SAIC, and SAIC is responsible for the three electricity, intelligence and product production. Audi is responsible for leading the design and chassis.

Moreover, SAIC Audi is also preparing its own dealer network, and is ready to part ways with FAW Audi’s dealer network. This will undoubtedly further squeeze the living space of FAW Audi, and it is also a thorny problem for the brand-new FAW-Volkswagen management.

We confirmed the details of FAW-Volkswagen’s top management adjustment with insiders of FAW Group. The other party said that the relevant adjustments are still in the publicity period, and will be formally appointed after the publicity.

On December 26th, the flagship SUV AITO, a panoramic wisdom cooperation between Cyrus and Huawei, was officially released. This car is not only the epitome of the most advanced technology and the latest manufacturing technology in the automobile industry, but also enhances the perception of the "Made in Chongqing" car.

A few days ago, the National Bureau of Statistics also released the latest data. From January to November this year, Chongqing’s automobile production reached 2,074,200, up 10% year-on-year, ranking second in the country.

Over the past decade or so, the ranking of Chongqing’s automobile production in the country has fluctuated. Now Chongqing ranks among the top in the country again. The industry is more concerned about the specific path to promote the development of local industries. After all, it is difficult to sustain the current automobile industry structure through the "impulse" of low-end products.

Chongqing’s auto industry has performed brilliantly this year. Is there really a "new power" blessing behind it? From the emergence of AITO M9 and the performance of major auto companies in Chongqing this year, we can see that Chongqing’s auto industry is changing from "quantitative change" to "qualitative change".

On December 26th, AITO authorized the user center, and many consumers came to consult and learn about AITO’s M9. Reporter Zhang Jinhui photo/visual Chongqing

The price of high-end cars rushed to five or six hundred thousand yuan.

Since the second half of this year, the AITO series products jointly designed by Cyrus Auto and Huawei have continued to sell well. In November, the sales volume of Sailisi new energy vehicles reached 23,834, up 104.39% year-on-year; Among them, the sales volume of Sailis brand was 20,318 vehicles, up by 145.92% year-on-year, both hitting new highs.

Changan Automobile is still strong. In November, the sales volume of its own brand new energy vehicles exceeded 50,000, a year-on-year increase of 52.73%.

The reporter learned from the Municipal Economic and Information Committee that the output of new energy vehicles in Chongqing in November increased by more than 100% year-on-year, which also far exceeded the year-on-year growth rate of total local automobile production in the same period.

The relevant person in charge of the Municipal Economic and Information Committee said that since 2023, the contribution rate of new energy vehicles in Chongqing to the growth of the city’s automobile industry has reached 85%.

"Behind the recent bright performance of Chongqing Automobile, it is obviously driven by high-end models, especially high-end intelligent networked new energy vehicles." A related person from Chongqing Automobile Business Association said that a large number of "Made in Chongqing" vehicles with high value and high product strength have emerged in this year, with intensity and frequency exceeding any previous period.

The reporter combed the "Made in Chongqing" new energy hot-selling models launched this year, and found that most of them are mid-to-high-end vehicles, such as the dark blue S7 model of Changan, whose price is between 150,000 and 220,000 yuan, while the price of Aouita 11 HarmonyOS Edition and Aouita 12 is between 300,000 and 400,000 yuan. The price of Sailis AITO’s M5 Smart Driving Edition and AITO’s new M7 covers 250,000 to 400,000 yuan. AITO asked M9 to push the price above 500,000 to 600,000 yuan.

The new path makes "Made in Chongqing" cars sought after.

In the eyes of the industry, the above changes in Chongqing’s automobile industry follow a profound value logic.

On December 16th, in the special activity of Chongqing International Talent Exchange Conference, Li Keqiang, an academician of China Academy of Engineering and chief scientist of Chongqing Western Science City Intelligent Networked Automobile Innovation Center, pointed out that the automobile industry will usher in the 4.0 era, and the new generation of automobiles will reflect the characteristics of low-carbon energy, electrification of power, intelligent body and networking of transportation networks, and the original automobile development mode, production mode and ecology will change.

Dong Yang, vice chairman of China Electric Vehicle committee of 100, believes that people’s "quality view" of automobiles has changed, from focusing on quality to focusing on experience. "In the past, when a new car was released and 20 new technologies were listed, it was amazing that users could use one or two items. Each car also brought a thick manual, and no one read it. This is no good. Car companies must directly face users, find out what needs users have, and let users make full use of new technologies. "

"First, we must’ change’ and strive to develop new technologies in the direction of intelligent networking and new energy; The second is to be’ close’, close to the needs of users, shorten the distance with users and reduce communication costs. " The relevant person in charge of Changan Automobile said.

A closer look at the many products newly launched by Chongqing car companies such as Chang ‘an and Sailis this year shows that they all follow the above ideas.

Taking the M9 as an example, by adopting the innovative owl-enhanced steering technology, the turning radius of a 5.2-meter-long "big guy" is smaller than that of a medium-sized car. In addition, the model also has 2.6 million pixels of fine lighting with dual lights. When the high beam illuminates the opposite vehicle, it will automatically leave a dark area, which will not affect the opposite vehicle, but also keep the high beam.

Qu Yunchao, a market observer, believes that some of the above technologies and functions have solved the pain points of users, while others have opened up interesting or comfortable new experiences for users. Since the beginning of this year, the popularity of "Made in Chongqing" cars has proved the success of this path.

It takes "one step at a time" to become a world-class company.

In the new year, how can Chongqing’s automobile industry anchor new development coordinates? "The global automobile industry pattern is undergoing subversive changes." Zhu Huarong, Chairman of Changan Automobile, said that from Europe, America, Japan, Germany and South Korea, where China was divided into six parts, to China, where the brand occupies half of the country today, the advantages of China brand in modeling, new energy and intelligence lead the world, and its scale advantage is further highlighted, and its competitive advantage in changing lanes is even more obvious.

But it also brings a series of new problems-

For example, the future development of China’s automobile industry will no longer be promoted by learning from the outside world. Another example is that the boundary of the division of labor between the whole vehicle and parts is reconstructed, and the battery of new energy vehicles is rapidly transformed from shortage to overcapacity.

To solve these problems well, we can move towards the first-class in the world, and the road is only "one step at a time". Zhu Huarong believes that it is necessary to take five steps to meet the challenges in the critical period of track switching in the industry by accelerating the layout of products and production capacity, strengthening the layout of brand building, strengthening the layout of marketing services, accelerating the improvement of market layout and strengthening the layout of organizational talents.

Zhang Xinghai, the chairman (founder) of Sailis Automobile, said that the local area is currently in the best opportunity to develop new energy intelligent networked vehicles. A strong supply chain can support a strong vehicle enterprise, and the industry should further expand open cooperation and let professionals do professional things to create high-quality products that meet the needs of users.

Relevant persons of the Municipal Economic and Information Committee said that Chongqing will strive to basically form a new ecology of intelligent networked new energy automobile industry by 2025, and build a world-class intelligent networked new energy automobile industry cluster by 2030, with the industrial scale reaching the world-class level.

To this end, Chongqing will continue to expand its industrial scale, accelerate the completion and commissioning of new projects, put new products on the market, and develop new brands, and strive to build a trillion-level intelligent networked new energy automobile industrial cluster; Adhere to the whole zero coordination, implement major projects to attract investment, cultivate and upgrade key enterprises, transform and upgrade traditional enterprises, and promote intelligent networked new energy vehicles to supplement the chain and strengthen the chain extension; Strengthen the integrated layout of charging, storage and parking, vehicle and Lu Yun infrastructure, promote the integration of energy network, transportation network and information network, and strive to form a moderately advanced, rational, intelligent and efficient charging and replacing service system; Accelerate the network transformation of existing roads and create the most distinctive and rich vehicle-road collaborative experience scene in China.

The first "Made in Chongqing" panoramic wisdom flagship SUV

AITO asks M9 to go public.
