Hydrogen energy vehicles have sprung up everywhere, and hybrid vehicles have returned to the spotlight again. The autonomous driving technology with artificial intelligence as the core and the car networking architecture with 5G as the engine have also developed rapidly, attracting many technology companies to show their talents. New technologies such as fully automatic driving computing platform with high computing power, intelligent cockpit with multiple functions, 360-degree panoramic system with car gauge chip and megapixel HD camera, and automatic parking have aroused great interest of the audience. Chinese and foreign companies are competing to show their cutting-edge technological achievements and latest solutions at the Beijing Auto Show, covering intelligent driving, intelligent cockpit, intelligent networking, intelligent Che Yun and other fields. More innovative technologies such as fuel cell stack, silicon carbide and intelligent cabin were exhibited in China for the first time. The technological progress displayed at this Beijing Auto Show makes us look forward to the future of the auto industry.
Collective efforts of new energy vehicles
Nowadays, the development of electrification and intelligence has reached a critical moment, and major car companies have accelerated their layout in the field of new energy. Participants in the automotive industry, including vehicle manufacturers and parts suppliers, exhibited electric vehicle products representing their highest level of design, manufacturing and innovation at the Beijing Auto Show. According to statistics, nearly 40% of the new cars unveiled or listed at this Beijing Auto Show are new energy vehicles. It has become a trend that all OEMs are committed to the R&D project of electric vehicles. Especially in the domestic market, with the support of national policies, enterprises have focused on new energy products. Of the 160 new energy vehicles exhibited at Beijing Auto Show, 147 are new energy vehicles of China automobile enterprises. With the upgrading of automobile industry and the gradual accumulation of new energy technologies, China brand new energy automobile products are becoming more and more mature, and domestic major automobile companies have also launched their own new energy brands. Dongfeng, BAIC and Geely's new energy brands-Lan Tu, ARCFOX and Geometry also met the audience for the first time at the Beijing Auto Show.
