Chongqing - On September 4, the opening ceremony of the 2023 Smart China Expo (SCE 2023) was held at the Chongqing Yuelai International Convention Center, with annual topics including Intelligent Connected New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) and Digital China.

In the specialized sector of Intelligent Connected NEVs, a series of specialized displays, including whole-vehicle profiles and integrated chassis, are used to “open up” each intelligent connected new energy vehicle. Layer by layer, these displays unveil and comprehensively showcase hardcore products such as power batteries, intelligent chassis, smart cockpits, chip software, and more.

Especially for the general audience, who usually see fleets of cars zooming down the roads, visiting the exhibition allows you to explore the intricate contents inside these vehicles up close.

The blade battery revolutionizing NEVs

Batteries are pivotal components in NEVs, and their performance and dependability are vital for success and market acceptance. Consequently, continuous advancements in battery technology represent a significant focus for NEV manufacturers and research institutions.

FinDreams Battery, located in Bishan District, Chongqing, with more than two decades of experience in the new energy battery industry, introduced the “Blade Battery” in 2020.

According to the brand representative at the exhibition, compared to ternary lithium batteries and traditional lithium iron phosphate batteries, the blade battery boasts over 600 patents and offers seven major advantages: super safety, super strength, super endurance, super low-temperature performance, super power, super lifespan, and super cost-efficiency. 

Enhanced safety and interactivity in intelligent cockpit 

Several companies presented their intelligent cockpit as their highlight product for this year’s SCE.

BDStar Intelligent & Connected Vehicle Technology, based in Yubei District, Chongqing, has more than 20 years of experience in automotive electronics R&D, manufacturing, and delivery. It presented the 4th generation of Snapdragon Automotive Cockpit Platforms.

It supports continuous learning AI and perception, automotive network security, camera pre-processing, graphics, and parallel processing, 4K Ultra HD displays, domain-focused system security, video processing units, 360-degree camera perception and fusion, high-throughput processing engines, and more.

With Intelligent cockpit, cars are smarter than ever before. 

It not only could comprehend voice commands from passengers in all seats but also interact with the owner, retaining their preferences in memory. Thanks to robust operating systems and data processing platforms, smart cabins have transformed cars into something more engaging than smartphones, with a broader range of functionalities. Enhanced safety features are expected to decrease the likelihood of accidents.

Innovations in intelligent chassis systems

Chenzhi Technology has invested 5 billion Yuan in the research and development of intelligent automotive chassis systems. Its product capabilities encompass a full range of services to meet the needs of intelligent vehicles, including braking, steering, suspension, lightweight design, and integrated chassis solutions.

The wire-controlled suspension control system, in its intelligent automotive chassis systems, offers a mature platform with advanced control algorithms and a diverse range of sensor configurations. These sensors include the gas distribution valve, acceleration sensor, height sensor, reservoir, front air spring with CDC shock absorber, rear shock absorber, rear spring, chassis control unit, and electric air pump.

With precise vertical control capabilities and various operating modes, this system not only enhances vehicle performance but also provides the freedom for creative vehicle body designs. This, in turn, increases internal space, allowing for more versatile and comfortable vehicle interiors.
