ChangAn Unveils Ambitious Plans for Smart and Sustainable Mobility

At the highly anticipated Auto Shanghai 2025 event held on April 23, ChangAn Automobile revealed its impactful slogan, "Together for a Smarter World." This announcement marked a pivotal moment for the company, known for its focus on intelligent mobility technology with low carbon emissions. It highlighted a triple-strategy approach aimed at fostering intelligent and sustainable mobility on a global scale.

Zhu Huarong, President of ChangAn Automobile, emphasized that the automotive industry is entering the "second half of intelligence." This evolving landscape demands leadership in three crucial domains: intelligence, globalization, and energy diversification, which are the foundational pillars of ChangAn's vision. As the industry landscape shifts, ChangAn reaffirms its commitment to relentless progress and a bold transition toward becoming a smart mobility tech enterprise.

The Triple Strategy

ChangAn's new vision is encapsulated in three key initiatives:

1. Shangri-La Mission: Focused on new energy vehicles (NEVs), this initiative has gained significant traction. To address the diverse needs of customers around the world, ChangAn has developed electric brands such as AVATR, DEEPAL, and CHANG-AN, launching a total of 22 new energy models. Notable advancements include the Golden Shield battery, which supports rapid charging (reducing charging time by 30-80% in under 10 minutes) and a cutting-edge integrated BlueCore 3.0 powertrain that enhances range and efficiency. This mission is also bolstered by robust collaborations, particularly with CATL to further develop solid-state batteries and battery recycling technologies.

2. Dubhe 2.0 Plan: This strategic initiative encompasses a dedicated R&D team consisting of 5,000 experts. By 2020, all products were connected smartly, showcasing over 20 leading technologies in the sector like Intelligent TS Drive and Intelligent TY Cockpit. These systems not only enhance driving assistance but also ensure advanced safety features, including nighttime collision avoidance and weather adaptability. With strategic partnerships with top tech companies, ChangAn aims to integrate world-class resources to develop innovative energy brands.

3. Vast Ocean Plan: This initiative has accelerated ChangAn's international sales, which surpassed 536,000 vehicles in 2024, positioning the company among the top three in the industry. ChangAn's global expansion features six subsidiaries in Thailand, Mexico, and Germany, alongside nine KD factories. The ChangAn Auto Thailand factory will soon commence production of new energy vehicles. Since initiating the Vast Ocean plan in 2023, the company has held numerous regional brand conferences, entered 11 new markets, and established over 750 new channels, amassing more than 9,000 global outlets.

Commitment to Sustainability

With a strong focus on sustainability, ChangAn aims to lead the automotive industry into a new era characterized by intelligent, low-carbon mobility. The company recently published its 2024 ESG Report, marking its seventeenth report since 2008. It actively supports initiatives like disaster relief in Southeast Asia and environmental endeavors in places such as Saudi Arabia. Notably, ChangAn's commitment to sustainability has earned it a spot among the "Top 100 Listed Companies in China for ESG Practices."

Conclusion

As ChangAn embarks on this ambitious journey, its triple strategy serves as a robust framework for revolutionizing smart mobility. Equipped with advanced technologies and a commitment to global sustainability, ChangAn is poised to redefine the future of the automotive industry, proving that innovation and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand.
