On the morning of October 18th, 2024 Chery Global Innovation Conference kicked off in Wuhu. This year’s Chery Science and Technology Day, with the theme of "Science and Technology Mastering the Future", fully demonstrated Chery’s innovative practices and achievements in the field of science and technology. More than 600 international friends from all over the world, academicians, experts and global partners at home and abroad gathered here to witness what cutting-edge technologies Chery has released this year.
The data shows that from January to September this year, Chery sold a total of 1.75 million cars, up 40% year-on-year, ranking second in the scale of its own brand and maintaining the first growth rate in the industry;The automobile growth rate, export scale and SUV market share all remain the first in the industry. This year, Chery entered the Fortune Global 500 for the first time, ranking 385th with an operating income of $39,091.7 million.
"Blow a cow every year"
Chery issued another "You’re welcome" declaration.
"Chery blows a cow every year!" Yin Tongyue, chairman of Chery Automobile, said in his speech at the Innovation Conference, "On last year’s Science and Technology Day, I said that Chery’s ranking was still very backward." This year, Chery’s new energy vehicles started at full capacity, with monthly sales exceeding 40,000 vehicles and 50,000 vehicles. As of September this year, the monthly sales have reached 58,941 vehicles, ranking fourth in the industry, second only to.、and. On the new energy car track, Chery finally changed from "getting up early and catching up with the late episode" to "getting up early and catching up with the big episode". Yin Tongyue made a goal, "Chery will cross the 80,000-vehicle mark in October and pass 100,000 vehicles in December to ensure the third place in the industry and strive for the second."
"Today, the cow that Chery wants to blow is: Next year, Chery’s intelligence is also welcome!" Yin Tongyue said that quality ranking is more important than sales ranking, and innovation ability is more exciting than profitability. In the past, Chery was a very pure "science man". Now, Chery expects to become a "Superman" with super brain and super wisdom. The AI model is "Sister Lin falling from the sky", so we should develop and use it well. Chery will take intelligence and AI as the major opportunity and breakthrough direction in the next 20 or 40 years, just as it put into the engine 20 years ago, and it has a series of layouts and must enter the industry. He believes that AI not only redefines cars, but also redefines industries and human society. Cars are more and more like an agent that can self-evolve, which requires the overall design of "electrification+intelligence" and the comprehensive blessing of AI model.
Future flying cars debut
rocFirst release
In the visit experience area on the first floor of the Innovation Conference, a large number of people gathered in front of Chery’s future flying cars. According to the staff of Chery Automobile, "this three-body compound wing flying car consists of three parts: flying wing, cockpit and chassis. It has two modes. In flight mode, the flying wing and cockpit fly in the air without the chassis. In the ground mode, the cockpit and chassis are combined to drive on the ground like a car. " Ultra-compact docking technology is adopted between three flying cars, which can realize vertical take-off and landing, rapid docking, land and airThe mode switching has eased the congestion problem for urban traffic. At present, this future flying car has successfully made its maiden voyage.
"Charge quickly, run far, use for a long time, and be safe enough!" At the innovation conference, Chery released Kunpeng for the first time, which filled the last piece of its new energy puzzle, making Chery’s new energy "you’re welcome" complete the closed loop at this moment. According to reports, Kunpeng will build three categories: square Ferrous lithium phosphate series, square ternary series and large cylindrical ternary series, which are safe, fast-charging and high-energy, and the pure electric mileage can span 1000 kilometers. Gao Xinhua, executive deputy general manager and CTO of Chery Automobile, said at the scene that Kun PengThe research and development of is already in action, and it is expected to be targeted in 2026 and listed in batches in 2027.
Key Breakthroughs of 10+ Projects in Five Technical Fields of "Eta Ursae Majoris 2025"
"Eta Ursae Majoris 2025" is the core strategy for Chery to lay out a new energy track. After two years of accumulation and exploration, Chery has made all-round progress in five technical fields: Mars architecture, Kunpeng power, lion intelligent cabin, great wisdom driving and Galaxy ecology, and achieved 10+ key technological breakthroughs such as Kunpeng battery, end-to-end large model, intelligent cabin model, flying car and Yuntai intelligent chassis 2.0.
"Safety is the biggest., is the bottom line of Chery. In an interview with the owner of the Star Era ET high-speed collision broadcast live at the conference, it can be seen that the advantages of Chery’s cage body can be reflected when three cars collide with each other at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour. According to reports, Cage Spacecapsule 2.0 keeps the industry leading in five dimensions: safety, stiffness, mode, lightweight and sealing, with high-strength steel and aluminum accounting for more than 85%.
The entire upgrade of Kunpeng Power constantly challenges the energy consumption limit. Chery continued to upgrade 72 energy consumption technologies and studied 6 new energy consumption core technologies, reducing the fuel consumption of two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive to 5.2L and 5.9L respectively, setting a new benchmark for extended-range energy consumption. At the same time, the pure electricity consumption of 9.9kWh sets a new benchmark for electric energy consumption, and the mixed fuel consumption of 2.98L sets a new record for mixed energy consumption and redefines the new energy consumption standard.
At this conference, Chery released a future-oriented high-level intelligent driving technical scheme on the spot, and Dazhuo Intelligent Driving evolved from C-Pilot 4.0 to C-Pilot 5.0. It is reported that in 2025, Chery’s advanced intelligent driving will be mass-produced with more than a dozen models, and rich scenes will be generated through the cloud World Mode, forming a perception model plus a planning model to simulate human brain behavior decision-making, from NOA (high-speed pilot-assisted intelligent driving solution) in the city without a map to NOA (independent flagship high-speed NOA). It is expected that the end-to-end E2E model will be launched in 2025 and the end-to-end VLA model will be launched in 2027, so that the car will truly enter the era of intelligent driving.
