In the future, GAC New Energy will launch at least two new products every year to make electric vehicles no longer modified cars.

With the automotive industry showing new technological evolution trends and the continuous stimulation of relevant domestic policies, new energy or pure electric vehicles have become increasingly common in the market.

But for general traditional automobile manufacturers, the expanded electric vehicle product lines are often based on existing fuel vehicles. In the view of Gu Huinan, general manager of GAC New Energy, the vast majority of electric vehicles on the market now are "modified cars" that have replaced fuel vehicles with electric drive systems. These cars are not designed according to the characteristics of electric vehicles. Some even sacrifice the rear seats and spare tire space in the trunk in order to accommodate the battery.

Therefore, at the 2017 Guangzhou Auto Show, GAC New Energy, which debuted as an independent brand for the first time, conveyed its brand concept of saying goodbye to "modified cars" for electric vehicles. At the same time, relying on its advantages in core electrification technology and automotive intelligence, it will launch at least two new products every year in the future, and strive to seize the opportunity for Chinese auto brands to overtake in the new energy era.

The pure electric vehicle market is about to explode. Mastering five core technologies is the key

According to data released by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, as of October this year, my country's electric vehicle sales reached nearly 1.5 million units, and there were nearly 200,000 public charging stations nationwide, ranking first in the world.

At the same time, China is not only the world's largest electric vehicle market, but also the fastest growing one. In the next five years or so, with the improvement of battery energy density, the development of lightweight technology and the popularization of high-power DC fast charging technology, pure electric vehicles with a range of 500-600km, charging time shortened to 30 minutes or even less than 10 minutes, and prices close to HEV models are likely to become the mainstream of the market, and the entire market will usher in a period of explosive growth.

Under this trend of the times, after years of accumulation, GAC Group has now mastered five key core technologies: batteries, motors, electronic controls, electromechanical coupling and system integration, and formed two major product series: plug-in and pure electric. It has successively launched a series of products including GA3S PHEV, GS4 PHEV and pure electric smart SUV GE3.

In terms of specific products, as the only pure electric SUV model in China currently built on a pure electric dedicated platform, the GE3 has a comprehensive range of more than 310km and a maximum of 475km. Due to the use of Trumpchi's latest generation of lithium batteries and fast charging technology, it can be charged to 80% in 30 minutes. In addition, it is equipped with the world's leading permanent magnet synchronous motor, which can output a peak torque of 290N.m and a maximum power of 132Kw, and can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in just 9.3 seconds.

Intelligent networking is accelerating, and L4 autonomous driving cars will be on the road in 2019

GAC New Energy is not only accelerating the pace of replacing future cars with electric drive cores, but is also focused on building world-class intelligent pure electric vehicles.

In terms of intelligence, GAC is the first automobile company in China to enter the field of driverless car research. At this Guangzhou Auto Show, GAC New Energy also revealed plans to launch a new generation of products with L4 level highly automated driving capabilities in 2019. At the same time, given the differences in relevant policies among countries, this product may first be launched in the US market.

In addition, GAC is also the first company to independently develop in-vehicle mobile Internet T-BOX. With nearly 400,000 vehicles currently installed, it is also the company with the largest actual installation volume. Next year, GAC New Energy will also combine 5G technology to launch a new generation of in-vehicle Internet system to achieve seamless interconnection of multiple terminals.

What is more noteworthy is that GAC New Energy will also focus on marketing services and smart travel in the future, focusing on building five core platforms including digital cockpit, TSP operation, car life, cloud platform and data application, as well as accelerating the layout of shared products.

It is understood that at the beginning of next year, GAC New Energy will launch the GE3 shared version, and will later launch a number of high-end shared models to bring users higher quality shared travel services.
