Chongqing- To make it easy to do business anywhere, Alibaba Group, a Chinese giant e-commerce company, brings new products and solutions with cutting-edge technologies to the Smart China Expo (SCE) 2022. 

Alibaba Cloud serves as one key project this year. According to Xu Jincheng, marketing manager of the event development department of Alibaba Group, the product of Yitian 710 is the latest server chip released by T-Head Semiconductor Co., Ltd. 

Now, this product has been adopted on the Alibaba Cloud server. The Arm v9 central processing unit (CPU) and 5nm process enable this chip to run more than 20% faster than a similar architecture chip in the latest benchmark test, with a 50% increase in energy efficiency.

The Alibaba Group aims to boost Chongqing's local consumption with AutoNavi Maps, for example. AutoNavi Maps is a leading provider of digital map content, navigation, and location-based solutions in China. AutoNavi Maps, founded in 2002, is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alibaba Group and is integrated with the e-commerce ecosystem.

"Together with Chongqing Health Commission, we have released a map for nucleic acid testing to make it easier for citizens to find a testing location," said Xu. Nucleic acid tests are easily accessible on the application's main pages. People can find nearby open test sites based on their locations.

"To realize the travel evolution, we have also forged a partnership with Chongqing Tanhuitong through a series of green travel actions," he said. Through green travel, the AutoNavi MAAS encourages consumers to contribute to low-carbon and environmental protection."

During the SCE 2022, Banma Alibaba signed a contract with Chongqing Municipal People's Government to jointly create a new industrial ecology of automotive operating systems, according to Zhang Chunhui, vice president of Alibaba Group.

Chinese smart car supplier Banma has created its software based on Alibaba-developed AliOS, which enables cars to provide functions including navigation, voice assistance, online shopping, and entertainment services.

Chongqing was shortlisted for the national "dual-smart" city pilot before. There was also a significant acceleration in exploring the transformation of the automobile industry and the intelligent transformation of urban construction.

Zhang revealed that Alibaba would work with the National Intelligent Networked Vehicle (Innovation) Center to create a Chinese solution for single vehicle intelligence and networked empowerment in the future, with the "Chongqing model" of the intelligent networked vehicle industry.
