In the second half of the new car, why go further?

In London from 65438 to 0859, Darwin's Theory of Biological Evolution was officially published, and his Survival of the fittest almost became the best gift of the times. "Survival of the fittest, elimination of the unfit" applies to the development and changes of everything, especially the automobile industry.

Under the oppression of the epidemic "black swan", the automobile industry is struggling, factories stop production and layoffs occur frequently. In the most vulnerable areas of new cars, the drama of building up and falling down is constantly being staged. LOGO maps that were once full of various new car companies are once again regarded as "jokes" by the world, and more and more forks make other companies still on the road walk on thin ice.

Dislocation competition, first come, first served.

According to the data, there are currently 18 car companies selling models among the new force car companies, with a total sales volume of 44,385 vehicles, among which five leading enterprises are Weilai, Ideality, Weimar, Tucki and He Zhong. The following car companies, such as Zero Run, Guo Zhijun, Guo Jin Auto and Future Auto, all have sales, but the data are not more than 100, and some even have single digits.

At present, the first car companies headed by Weilai, Tucki and Ideality have been formed, and the second round of elimination competition for new energy vehicles has begun. Those new forces that used to burn money madly are now empty, leaving all kinds of "mess". "Survival of the fittest, elimination of unsuitable" seems to be a true portrayal of new car companies. Some people say, "You can't blame them, but blame the market and the epidemic, which makes them vulnerable and have no advantage."

Although the epidemic is cruel, it has also become the best touchstone of the market. Only after a storm can we see the real strength of a car company. In the face of "life and death", going far is always more important than running fast.

Among the silent suitors, Chinese Express is the best representative. With the world premiere on September 24, the first production car evolvable supercar SUV was released? Gaohe HiPhi? China Express X, which has been keeping a low profile, once again returned to the center of the stage.

As a member of emerging car companies, Chinese Express is very young. However, as long as we know it deeply, we will find that it has been working hard and making steady progress towards the goal set by itself at the first press conference of 20 18.

Back in June, 20 18, Ding Lei, the "old gun" known as the "godfather of contemporary automobile industry", took the stage as the founder, chairman and CEO of Chinese Express for the first time. The corporate strategy conference and the launch of the concept car made Chinese Express at that time feel like a duck to water.

The circle of friends has been bombed by the strategic goal of Chinese express delivery. "In order to lead the future human travel, Chinese Express wants to build a new ecological chain with smart cars, intelligent transportation and smart cities' three wits' as the core." Different from the cutting-edge car companies such as Weilai and Tucki, Chinese Express tries to change the automobile industry through the advantages of electrification, intelligence, networking and * * *.

Such ambition and courage made Chinese express jump directly from 1.0 to 2.0.

It has never been a car-making enterprise, and "innovative travel technology company focusing on the future intelligent transportation industry" is the best definition for this enterprise at present. Under this definition, Chinese express has also become the most special existence of the new power industry.

On September 24th, before the Beijing Auto Show, the first model of China Express, Gaohe HiPhi? X is officially listed, based on HOA open electronic and electrical architecture, HiPhi? X has too many firsts in the world, such as the official map released earlier, Gao and HiPhi? X has NT wing doors, which can fully open six doors, and can open six intelligent access control modes as required; Realizing the separation of software and hardware, having PML programmable smart headlights +ISD intelligent interactive lighting system, and HiPhiGo active artificial intelligence partners working with Microsoft, there is no doubt that these systems that sound like science and technology make Gaohe HiPhi? X has become a veritable technology luxury "smart car" under Chinese Express.

When electrification and intelligence gradually dominate the automobile industry, it also announces that the era of playing cards according to traditional automobile routines is coming to an end. Only by embracing intelligence and networking is the advantage of "accelerating overtaking" for new car companies in the future. China Express has been fully aware of this.

I chose misplaced competition and won more time for myself. Now I have broken ground and given the industry not only a heavy product, but also a beautiful counterattack to the outside world. This is another landing of the "three wisdom" layout of Chinese express delivery, and it is far more amazing than we thought.

It is said that in Gaohe HiPhi? Before the listing of X, Chinese Express also erected huge billboards in CBD centers in London, new york, Dyson and other places, and shouted to Tesla, Porsche and Dyson, "People must have firm ideas to achieve it. We proved that you are right."

Forerunner and guide

"Can China Express be successful?"

Even if he is tall, HiPhi? The emergence of the X-Men science and technology model has attracted countless films, but behind the hustle and bustle, it still can't cover up the general doubts of consumers.

But for Chinese Express, betting on smart car ecology is a profound insight and forward-looking understanding of future traffic. Ding Lei believes that "the future travel plan must be a systematic solution combining people and vehicles, not just the vehicles themselves. At present, Chinese Express is the only new car company that insists on the coordinated development of smart cars, Zhijie transportation and smart cities. This new practice is not to show our uniqueness, but the logic of Chinese Express has never been to build cars and roads, but to build related businesses. What we have to do is to consider the overall planning of cars, roads and cities. This is the future trend. "

In fact, in the operation mode of Zhangjiang Smart City created by Chinese Express last year, we have already seen the embryonic form of the future city under the layout of Chinese Express, and the world dominated by intelligent technology. At present, they are trying to move the future urban travel in science fiction scenes to reality.

Ding Lei said that he has the confidence and confidence, because in addition to the forward-looking market, Ding Lei has recruited a group of Qiang Bing by using decades of experience and personality charm in its industry, which can be called the "luxury dream team". , Chen Qingquan, mark stein, Chen, etc ... Every resume is perfect, and countless industry experts have been placed under the authority of Ding Lei. This lineup is also doomed to have Chinese express delivery.

"Compared with other companies eager to sell cars, we still have to build a platform first. What we have to do is not only build cars, but also plan scenes for consumers. Consumers refer to customers, not just users. " Chen, Chief Operating Officer of Chinese Express, expressed the role that Chinese Express hopes to play.

HiPhi with him? With the listing of X, the concepts of smart city and transportation are more and more widely distributed in the current automobile industry. I'm afraid it's a long way to go to let users know what the "Three Intellectuals" industry-wide ecological chain is, but Chinese Express will not give up, just as Ding Lei said in those days, "This future-oriented hi-tech? X is not only a high-performance and expressive new energy vehicle, but also an intelligent mobile terminal. It is a new category that can be continuously upgraded and evolved, giving people a new understanding and definition of future cars. "

In fact, Ding Lei had already told us what the China Express wanted to achieve, but nobody cared at that time.

20 19, 1 In June, Chinese Express also completed the first phase of Yancheng Lu Zhi Project, the world's first intelligent urban road with coordinated automatic driving between vehicles and roads. Ding Lei pointed out that "this road can realize the scene simulation of self-driving road coordination, which is safe and can simulate as many scenes as possible, and will also become an incubation base for exploring intelligent traffic management in the future."

20 19 12 19, the world's first road-city integrated smart city 5G driverless traffic operation mode-Chinese Express landed in the artificial intelligence hall of Shanghai Zhangjiang High-tech Park. In the newly opened smart park, the Chinese Express has demonstrated the future urban travel plan of "zero accidents, zero emissions and zero congestion".

Since then, China Express L4 Autonomous Parking Service System (AVP) has also been developed in Shanghai. The test was completed on X production vehicle, which is also the first L4 fully autonomous parking service system based on vehicle-road coordination in China.

Just like walking on a wire rope, Chinese Express must overcome more practical problems than other new car companies. In addition to capital, R&D and technology, it must also assume the role of a master of balance under the coordinated operation of automobiles, transportation and cities.

Ding Lei said, "Chinese Express will create an efficient, accurate and safe way to travel in the future, and clearly create the embryonic form of smart city Zhijie traffic in the future, which has important guiding and demonstration significance. We look forward to pioneering exploration like this becoming the reality of future cities as soon as possible. "

When the car-making craze gradually fades away, when most mercenary and short-sighted new car-making enterprises gradually lose the motivation to run, it is time to think about what can go further in the second half of this new car-making movement. In fact, Chinese express has given the answer. At this moment, no matter which stage the "Three Intellectuals" strategy goes to, Chinese Express has undoubtedly become the forerunner and guide to change the future travel of mankind.
