Chongqing accelerates the development of intelligent connected new energy vehicle industry

In Liangjiang New Area, Chongqing, Changan Automobile engineer Dai Jiao arrived at the dedicated test track early to conduct extreme testing on the prototype car. The recently released autonomous intelligent architecture platform by the enterprise enables operations that were once unimaginable, such as turning around and parking in place, and exiting the parking space vertically. At present, with its global R&D center located in Chongqing as the hub, Changan Automobile has mastered over 2000 key core technologies in the fields of intelligence and new energy

In April 2024, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out during his inspection in Chongqing that "Chongqing has a good foundation in manufacturing, abundant resources of scientific and educational talents, and should focus on building a modern industrial system with advanced manufacturing as the backbone." To implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech, Chongqing actively cultivates strategic emerging industries with international advanced level and competitiveness. On February 5 this year, the Chongqing Municipal Party Committee held a conference to promote Chinese path to modernization, emphasizing the need to promote the construction of high-quality development pilot areas in the western region to make breakthrough progress, and continue to expand and strengthen the modern manufacturing cluster system

Chongqing Manufacturing is "galloping like a thousand horses", and the new energy vehicle industry is "leading the way". By 2024, the production of new energy vehicles in Chongqing will reach 953200 units, and this year we strive to increase it to 1.3 million units, "said Luo Li, Deputy Director of the Chongqing Municipal Economic and Information Commission

How to continue the development momentum in the new year? Chongqing focuses on building an important production base for intelligent connected new energy vehicles, anchoring a development path that combines strengthening industrial innovation, deepening industrial integration, and optimizing industrial ecology

Through independent innovation and continuous research and development, Changan Automobile's Smart Factory adopts the latest 5G technology and industrial control IoT technology, achieving a network of 12000 devices and becoming one of the largest and highest performing factories in the global automotive industry in terms of 5G connectivity. To leverage the leading role of vehicle manufacturers, drive the technological advancement and industrial agglomeration of new energy vehicles, Chongqing has issued an action plan for innovative development of the automotive electronics industry, continuously increasing the R&D investment intensity of the city's automotive industry, providing comprehensive and multi-level support for innovation entities, and leading industrial innovation with technological innovation

On the other side of the Jialing River, in the Chongqing High tech Zone of the Western Science City, an industry meeting that breaks away from car manufacturing and focuses on integration is taking place. On February 8th, Chen Dafei, the project manager of the vehicle road cloud integration demonstration section, and traffic management, road administration, and owner units gathered around a round table, repeatedly picking details on dozens of drawings

If car manufacturing is about making cars smarter, then vehicle road cloud integration is about enabling "smart cars" to run on the "smart road" and use "advanced cloud" - Chongqing proposes to create an integrated development pattern of "software+intelligence+hardware", aiming to build a full industry chain system covering vehicle manufacturing, automotive software, intelligent networking, and new energy storage through the collaborative integration of vehicles, road infrastructure, and cloud computing platforms. At present, more than 60 upstream and downstream enterprises have gathered, "Chen Dafei said." The second phase of the intelligent connected vehicle demonstration zone project will be implemented from the drawings within this year, covering the overall intelligent transformation of urban road sections in several large areas such as the university city and science valley. We need to work hard! "

" Charging for 10 minutes, range of 400 kilometers! "During the peak of the Spring Festival travel rush, Chen Ting, a tourist and new energy vehicle owner from Hubei, used liquid cooled charging piles for the first time at the super charging station in the Weilong service area of the Chongqing Chengdu Expressway. State Grid Chongqing Electric Power Company has built or renovated 89 super charging stations in the highway service area before the holiday. Over 236000 vehicles have been serviced during this year's Spring Festival holiday, with record high charging times and volumes, alleviating the "mileage anxiety" of new energy vehicle owners

Chongqing is continuously optimizing its industrial ecology, accelerating the construction of infrastructure such as charging and swapping stations, and hydrogen refueling stations, creating a convenient supercharging city and an ecological highland for autonomous driving, making the travel experience of citizens and tourists more convenient and efficient

People are diligent, and spring comes early. Upholding the spirit of innovation, inspiring the power of progress, carrying forward the spirit of action, anchoring development goals, Chongqing sets off again for the new year
