Although China's automobile industry has only 70 years of development history, it has experienced a shift from technology introduction to independent development, and from independent development to technology introduction relying on the joint venture model.
China has developed into the world's largest automobile producer, exporter, car ownership is also the world's first, the rise of domestic new power brands, it is no exaggeration to say, this is so far, the world's automobile development history, the most exciting good news! Here's a quick rundown:
The first good news is that China has become the world's largest producer, seller and exporter of automobiles:
In the past 20 years, with the loosening of the automobile market access control, China's automobile industry has appeared with its own brand of automobile enterprises, such as BYD, Geely, Chery and the rise of domestic automobile groups, and due to the country's technical requirements for automobile fuel consumption, as well as the impact of the incentive policy for new energy vehicles, automotive products have gradually developed in the direction of low-carbon and electrification.
Among them, according to the data of the China Automobile Association, in 2023 alone, China's automobile production and sales will exceed 30 million, ranking first in the world for 15 consecutive years and becoming the world's largest automobile producer and seller;
Also in 2023, China's automobile export sales will reach 4.91 million units, a year-on-year increase of 57.9%, and compared with Japan's 4.42 million units, a full 490,000 units, therefore, China surpassed Japan for the first time to become the world's largest automobile exporter.
The second good news, China's car ownership, ranking first in the world:
Obviously, with the rapid development of the automobile industry and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, cars have become an indispensable and important part of people's lives, according to the data released by the Ministry of Public Security, by the end of June 2024, the global car ownership is 1.45 billion,
Among them, China's car ownership is 345 million, accounting for 23.7% of the world's total, ranking first in the world. If calculated according to "five people for one family", the number of cars in China is 345 million, which is equivalent to every family having at least one car.
And, surprisingly, there are 96 cities in the country with more than 1 million cars, 43 cities with more than 2 million cars, and 26 cities with more than 3 million cars, which is equivalent to at least two cars per family.
The third good news, the strong rise of domestic new power brands:
In recent years, with the development opportunities and challenges of new energy vehicles and intelligent networked vehicles, the world's automobile industry has "taken on a new look", featuring new energy vehicles, and the emergence of China's new car-making forces "Three Musketeers" - Weilai, Ideal, and Xiaopeng Motors, among them, in the field of high-end pure electric vehicles,
High-end pure electric vehicles like NIO, which have "high computing power, battery swapping, technology and quality that pay attention to the whole life cycle", are becoming more and more popular, and in May and June 2024 alone, NIO's sales exceeded 20,000 for two consecutive months.
Among them, the NIO brand delivered a total of 21,209 new cars in June, a year-on-year increase of 98%, a record high, and according to the "Jielan Road New Energy Vehicle Brand Health Study in the First Half of 2024", NIO has become the most likely to be favored new energy brand, ranking first.
There is no doubt that NIO can obtain such considerable sales and high praise above above, which is directly related to its superior performance and quality, and those experienced car owners and users have summed up their experience from it: high-end pure electric vehicles, buy high computing power;
high-end pure electricity, buy one that can be replaced; high-end pure electric, just buy the technology can be rolled; For high-end pure electric vehicles, buy those that pay attention to the quality of the whole life cycle. It just so happens that NIO has all four of these elements. Here's a quick rundown:
"High computing power" NIO,
In order to meet the needs of car owners and users for more relaxed, intelligent and convenient driving, NIO has built a "digital intelligent cockpit", which is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 car machine chip.
Compared with the previous generation, the AI computing power has been increased by 8 times, supporting the NOMI GPT large model, which can realize the command of "visible and spoken, multi-voice of the whole car", various information about "life, work, learning and entertainment", millisecond-level query and broadcast, and the leather luxury seat has automatic ventilation and heating massage function.
In addition, the whole system of NIO is equipped with 4 NVIDIA Orin X chips as standard, with a total computing power of 1016ToPs, which will upgrade the intelligent driving system to a higher stage, thus providing the best, most flexible and safest intelligent driving experience for car owners and users.
"Battery-swappable" NIO,
In today's era of increasingly mature battery technology, it is no longer a new thing for a car to have a pure electric range of 500 kilometers or 1000 kilometers.
NIO can not only realize the rapid battery swap and energy replenishment solution of "three minutes of battery replacement and departure", but also flexibly upgrade and select battery packs according to the usual travel needs, such as a standard battery pack of 70 degrees for short-distance urban travel.
A 100-degree long-range battery pack is used for long-distance travel, and a 150-degree ultra-long-range battery pack is used for extreme long-distance travel, with a range of up to 1050 kilometers.
What's even more surprising is that the NIO brand has a huge self-built charging and swapping network, all over the country, and the NIO energy replenishment system can be called the first in the industry, including 2439 battery swap stations.
There are 3,894 charging stations, 2,287 overcharging stations/10,488 charging stations, 1,615 destination charging stations/12,283 charging stations, and 1060410 third-party charging piles, which are enough to meet the "charging and swapping needs" of car owners and users when they travel across the country;
"Technology can roll" NIO,
As a new domestic brand, NIO has strong technology research and development capabilities, including 12 key technology areas such as chips, on-board intelligent hardware, battery-electric drive systems, intelligent driving systems, intelligent cockpits, vehicle-machine networking systems, and artificial intelligence.
This enables each system of each generation of the NIO brand to be upgraded and iterated in a timely manner, so that no detail is stuck, and its "intelligent, electrified, and digital" functions are also more complete and advanced, and at the same time, the driving quality of the vehicle is also more comfortable, luxurious, intelligent and safe;
