ChangAn Showcases Revolutionary Innovations at Auto Shanghai 2025

At the recent Auto Shanghai 2025, held on April 25, ChangAn Automobile, a leader in intelligent low-carbon mobility technology, demonstrated its commitment to innovation and sustainability under the theme "Together for a Smarter World." The event gathered nearly 600 media representatives and over 500 global partners to explore a shared vision for the future of transportation.

During the expo's opening day, ChangAn organized a series of press conferences and product demonstrations featuring its three primary brands: CHANG-AN, DEEPAL, and AVATR. Each brand spotlighted its distinct characteristics and offerings, catering to various segments of the car market. Of particular note was the unveiling of the Q07, which aims to provide customers with a comfortable and worry-free driving experience. Meanwhile, the DEEPAL brand introduced the full-size SUV S09, appealing to younger consumers who seek modern and versatile vehicles. The AVATR 06 also garnered attention as it seeks to redefine the luxury electric vehicle segment with its sophisticated design and advanced assisted driving technologies, positioning itself as a vehicle that truly understands its driver.

Visitors to the exhibition engaged in interactive demonstrations where they experienced rides in the CHANG-AN E07, outfitted with the Intelligent TH Chassis, which synchronised movements to music for a unique sensory experience. These showcases illustrated the advancements of ChangAn's SDA digital platform and smart perception technologies. In addition, attendees had the opportunity to interact with innovative robotic systems, including robotic dogs and humanoid robots, further emphasizing the company's commitment to transforming transport through intelligent technology in diverse scenarios.

Chairman Zhu Huarong addressed the audience during a keynote session, revealing that ChangAn achieved remarkable growth in 2024, with global sales rising by 34.2% to reach 2.684 million vehicles. Among these, 735,000 units were new energy vehicles sold both domestically and internationally. This momentum has positioned ChangAn among the top three exporters in China, with over 500,000 vehicles sold globally and a revenue exceeding $11 billion.

In terms of production capacity, ChangAn has expanded its capabilities significantly by launching its first international new energy vehicle (NEV) manufacturing base in Thailand and establishing partnerships across eight manufacturing sites. The company’s goal is to enhance production to 580,000 units annually while entering new global markets, including the Middle East, Australia, and the UK. The vision for the future includes having ten regional business units by 2025, showcasing ChangAn's aim of becoming a globally recognized brand with robust international presence.

To support this growth, ChangAn has committed substantial resources to research and development, investing over 40 billion yuan in key areas of new energy technology in the past decade. Moving forward, the company plans to allocate more than 200 billion yuan for future automotive innovations, focusing on developing intelligent car robots and even flying cars, targeting flight tests by the end of this year.

Amid these advancements, sustainability remains a core element of ChangAn's corporate strategy. In April 2025, the company released its ESG report for 2024, highlighting their dedication to creating green ecosystems and partnerships aimed at environmental stewardship. With new energy vehicle sales reaching 735,000 units, ChangAn has contributed to a significant reduction in carbon emissions—by up to 5.5 million tons—equivalent to the environmental benefits of planting approximately 10,000 hectares of trees. This green transformation is crucial in reshaping the automotive industry into a more sustainable future.

As the company looks ahead, Mr. Li expressed optimism about advancing the Vast Ocean Plan, ensuring that a broader audience can experience intelligent, high-quality, and efficient green mobility with ChangAn vehicles. With technological innovation at its core, ChangAn is poised to redefine the boundaries of transportation in a collaborative and eco-conscious manner.
