Intelligent driving will accelerate development, and GAC Aion will become the leader in L3

On February 18, Guangdong Province held a provincial high-quality development conference, and GAC Aion General Manager Gu Huinan was invited to attend and speak. In his speech, Gu Huinan pointed out that under the influence of five major factors, namely policy, capital, technology, market, and supply chain, China's new energy vehicle market has developed for more than ten years and has become the world's largest producer and seller of new energy vehicles for nine consecutive years. In the future, industry competition will further intensify, presenting a situation of "organization in volume" and "slowness in speed".

Gu Huinan pointed out that fierce market competition has brought profit pressure to enterprises on the one hand, but it also contains more opportunities. The market share of domestic brands has continued to increase, and the export volume has continued to increase. At the same time, the "New Four Modernizations" are reshaping the traditional luxury brand landscape. Now is a good time for domestic brands to impact upward and build high-end brands. In terms of EV+ICV key technologies, the improvement of battery energy density has slowed down, and the next-generation revolutionary technology represented by all-solid-state batteries is in the works, and fast charging technology and energy ecology are also accelerating. At the same time, ICV technology will usher in a second take-off, and 2024 will become an important turning point for the development of ICV technology and market popularization.

Gu Huinan, general manager of GAC Aion, was interviewed by the media

In the past year, GAC Aion has achieved "high speed + high quality" development, with sales exceeding 480,000 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 77%, becoming the fastest new energy vehicle company in the world to achieve one million production and sales, and forming core competitiveness in six dimensions: technology self-research, product matrix, service system, manufacturing capacity, industrial chain, and system mechanism. In the face of future trends, GAC Aion will continue to adhere to the strategy of leading technology innovation and focus on the core areas and key technologies of EV+ICV. In terms of EV, GAC Aion has achieved full-stack self-production and self-research of three-electric technology. In the future, it will continue to consolidate its leading position, expand its leading advantage, and strive to achieve mass production of all-solid-state batteries in 2026. In terms of ICV, GAC Aion will vigorously promote leading intelligent driving technology in all models of Aion and Haobo brands, accelerate the implementation and popularization of cutting-edge intelligent driving technologies such as L3 and urban NDA, plan to implement the urban NDA function in April, and strive to achieve L4 intelligent driving in 2025. Bring a more stable, reliable and easy-to-use intelligent driving experience to consumers.

Guangdong is a major province for new energy vehicles in China and a leader in the transformation of the automotive industry's "New Four Modernizations". In order to further promote the development of Guangdong's new energy vehicle industry, Gu Huinan put forward four suggestions, covering consumption stimulus, charging infrastructure construction, policies and regulations, etc. Gu Huinan said that GAC Aion has prepared both software and hardware for L3 autonomous driving technology, and suggested that relevant departments issue relevant regulations and road traffic signs for autonomous driving as soon as possible to create convenient conditions for the popularization of L3 autonomous driving.
