The Xiaopeng Motors (XPENG) team was established in mid-2014 and is headquartered in Guangzhou. It focuses on the research and development of Internet electric vehicles for young people in first-tier cities. The goal of the first mass-produced vehicle is a fashionable , crossover electric SUV.
Xpeng Motors is an Internet electric vehicle brand under Guangzhou Chengxing Intelligent Automotive Technology Co., Ltd. It was initiated by He Xiaopeng, Xia Heng, He Tao and others. The main team members come from GAC, Ford, BMW, Te Well-known vehicle and large parts companies such as Tesla, Delphi, and Valeo, as well as well-known Internet technology companies such as Alibaba, Tencent, Xiaomi, Samsung, and Huawei.
Core Technology
Pure Electric Drive System
Xpeng Motors’ pure electric drive system is centered on motors, batteries, and electronic controls. The motor controller, DCDC, charger, etc. are placed in the front cabin, and the battery system is arranged under the passenger cabin floor. Xpeng Motors' first version of the motor has a power density of 10kW/L, with a target of 14.5kW/L, more than twice the domestic average. In terms of batteries, Xpeng Motors' battery packs have gone through 4 iterations of development, with an energy density close to 150Wh/kg. Unlike domestic electric vehicle battery packs, which mostly use natural cooling or air cooling, Xpeng Motors has designed a liquid-cooled battery pack that can After the exposure test, the output power was over 200kW and the temperature rise was controlled within 10 degrees, effectively solving the problem of battery temperature rise. This pure electric drive system has undergone bench testing, hub testing and proving ground road testing, with a cumulative test mileage of more than 5,000 kilometers.
Intelligent system
Xpeng Motors’ intelligent system is centered on the large central control screen. In addition to being an entrance and terminal to the Internet, it is more of an intelligent platform. The large central control screen replaces the traditional central control physical buttons and replaces them with a series of virtual buttons. Xpeng Motors' intelligent control system focuses on intelligent control of the car itself, rather than simple Internet entertainment. Through the large central control screen, you can conveniently control the steering wheel position, seat position, light switches, window lift, air conditioning settings, etc. You can also select driving style, adjust chassis stiffness, brake energy recovery intensity, etc. Adjustments and so on. More importantly, combined with peripheral sensor resources such as smart cameras, radar, GPS, etc., an intelligent driving platform can be built, and this platform can be configured, tailored or expanded according to user needs.
