“New wind” blows towards Chinese automobiles, and new forces emerge!

In ten years, China's automobile industry has undergone tremendous changes, and the best companies have reshaped the entire market with new technologies, new momentum and new designs.

The automobile industry has already entered the intelligent transformation track, and we are standing at the crossroads of automobile explosion. However, the industry is still exploring how to withstand the fierce market competition, shape core competitiveness, and continuously adapt to market changes.

Over the years, automakers have been walking this difficult road step by step, hoping to build a good automotive industry ecosystem through mutual technological competition. Among them, there are many enterprising people.

On the afternoon of November 13, 2024, the 2024 China Automotive New Power Forum, hosted by Guangzhou Daily Newspaper Group (Guangzhou Daily), co-hosted by Nanfengchuang, Huizhi Media, and Electric Planet, was held in the South Tower of Guangzhou Newspaper Center to discuss the future development of the automotive industry. Jiang Yongzhong, Secretary of the Party Committee and President of Guangzhou Daily Newspaper Group (Guangzhou Daily), and Xu Feng, Member of the Party Committee, Vice President, and Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Guangzhou Daily Newspaper Group (Guangzhou Daily), attended the forum.

Jiang Yongzhong pointed out in his speech that the automobile industry, as an important pillar industry in my country, has made a series of breakthroughs in recent years. Today, Chinese auto companies dare to lead the trend, promote sustainable development, and are willing to break through new technologies such as intelligent networking and autonomous driving, and are expanding their territory in the global market in an unprecedented manner.

Zhang Zhengang, second-level professor at the School of Business Administration of South China University of Technology and director of the Guangzhou Digital Innovation Research Center, and Hu Jianyao, chief researcher of the National Automotive Electronics Product Quality Inspection and Testing Center of the Fifth Institute of Electronics of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, secretary-general of the Guangzhou New Energy Intelligent Vehicle Development Promotion Association, and director of the Guangzhou New Energy Intelligent Vehicle Big Data Monitoring Platform, delivered keynote speeches at the forum.

Focusing on "The Trend of Combination of Artificial Intelligence and the Automotive Industry", Zhang Zhengang first analyzed the development trend of AI and proposed that the future development of automobiles should be an intelligent entity that realizes the integration of man and car, and that the research and development in the future automotive industry should also be a combination of science and technology and engineering research. In the future, AI will enable the value creation of the automotive industry.

Hu Jianyao then expressed his views on the "Development Status and Trends of Intelligent and New Energy Vehicle Industry".

He mentioned that China's automobile industry is facing the situation of how to promote high-quality development, achieve high-level security and high-level opening up. Specifically, high-quality development, first, how to promote the transformation of the entire automobile industry, especially the transformation to green and low-carbon directions; second, how to reshape the value of the entire automobile industry chain. Paying attention to high-level security means paying attention to vehicle safety, data network security and industry chain security. Achieving a high level of opening up requires car companies to pay more attention to the overseas ecosystem when going overseas.

Of course, Chinese automakers still need to deal with challenges such as key technologies, profitability, comprehensive marketization and international layout of the industrial chain.

In this regard, Hu Jianyao called on the entire automotive industry to create a good ecosystem to empower the high-quality development of China's automotive industry.
