Zhang Jie, General Manager of Chongqing Chang'an Automobile Software Technology Co., Ltd.: Work together to create a new era of intelligent vehicles and a new intelligent hub in Chongqing
As early as 2017, Chang'an Automobile started its third innovation and entrepreneurship plan to transform itself into a smart low-carbon travel technology company and established a software technology company to rapidly build the core competitiveness of Chang'an Automobile in software and promote the transformation of the profit model of an automobile enterprise to selling vehicles + selling software and services from selling vehicles. It has built a vehicle software platform including electronic and electrical architecture, operating system, vehicle functional application, and cloud-based big data, and is developing the product architecture of future software-defined vehicles.
Zhang believes that intelligence and digitization are the trends of the world. As an advanced manufacturing industry, the automobile industry has also ushered in significant changes. Digitization has not only completely broken the original value chain of the automotive industry to achieve higher efficiency and lower costs in every link from R&D, design, manufacturing to after-sales service, but also begun to reconstruct consumers' understanding of the business model of the automobile industry that vehicles have gradually evolved to travel services and intelligent experience from the original simple means of transport.
Zhang said that it was at the first Smart China Expo that Chang'an Automobile launched a new intelligent strategy — Dubhe Plan, and Chang'an Automobile Software Technology Co., Ltd. was born. The expo is of great help to Chang'an software in integrating the upstream and downstream industrial chains and facilitating the cluster development of the intelligent automobile industry.
Across the globe, the wave of intelligence is penetrating every aspect of life at a faster pace. Chang'an Software Technology Co., Ltd. will continue to actively boost the development of intelligent vehicles, and further deepen all-around cooperation with strategic partners to jointly promote Chongqing to lead the intelligent innovation of vehicles and transform from an important manufacturing city to a famous smart city, said Zhang.
