SMM: on September 28th, SAIC GM Wuling held "Hello to the World" in Haikou. I am the enterprise theme discussion activity of Wuling New Energy World New Energy Automobile Congress. At the meeting, Ouyang Minggao, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, pointed out: "Wuling is a model of small new energy vehicles in China, with the largest sales in the field of small new energy vehicles in the world. Wuling has created the world's largest selling model in the field of traditional fuel vehicles. I believe that small electric cars can also work miracles."

Liang Chengdu, co-president of research and development of Ningde Times New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., as well as media guests and more than 100 user representatives of Wuling, Hainan, attended the event. At the meeting, Zhao Xiaoyu, deputy general manager of SAIC GM Wuling Technology Center, Shao Jie, director of electrification, and Zhao Liang, chief engineer of pure electric platform, respectively shared with you on the space, safety, energy consumption, energy supply and service of small new energy vehicles, comprehensively demonstrated the core highlights of SAIC GM Wuling in the field of new energy technology, and made a detailed analysis of the product technology and market prospects of Hongguang MINI EV. It has been recognized by the guests and the media.

Miniaturization, electrification and intelligence are the highest goals of new energy vehicles.

For SAIC GM Wuling's car-building concept of "starting from the needs of the people and starting from the scene", Academician Ouyang Minggao highly recognized it in his speech. Academician Ouyang Minggao pointed out that miniaturization, electrification and intelligence are the highest goals of new energy vehicles. Because of the limited mileage of electric vehicles, energy saving of electric vehicles is more important than that of fuel vehicles. Miniaturized electric vehicle can save energy and space, on the one hand, it means a substantial reduction in energy consumption, on the other hand, the vehicle itself can carry a smaller capacity of the battery, so as to reduce costs and meet the needs of users. At the same time, the miniaturized electric car can provide services for the vast majority of people, because it can already meet most of the use scenarios.

The second is electrification, small new energy vehicles are good carriers for intelligent development, and electrification can also make a qualitative leap in the performance of small cars, giving full play to the performance of products. SAIC GM Wuling has made achievements in this field, taking the economic and intelligent development route, completely focusing on the daily commuting needs and travel rules of ordinary people, so that small new energy vehicles also have high technology.

When talking about the development of new energy in Wuling, Academician Ouyang Minggao believes that Wuling small new energy vehicles are a model of electric vehicles in China. Academician Ouyang Minggao said that in the field of the development of small new energy vehicles in the world, Wuling currently has the highest sales volume. He believes that SAIC GM Wuling, which once created the biggest global sales miracle in the field of traditional fuel vehicles, will continue to create miracles in small new energy vehicles in the future. At the same time, Academician Ouyang Minggao also said that he will continue to cooperate with Wuling in technological innovation in the areas of new energy artificial intelligence, big data, and cloud platform lifecycle management, and improve the scientific and technological level and performance in the areas of battery mileage, safety, life, and cost that people are most concerned about, so as to bring more products that people need.

The needs of the people is the direction of Wuling's efforts.

In the face of the actual needs of many people's travel scenarios, SAIC GM Wuling has found that in terms of travel mileage, 84% of users actually drive within 40km every day, and 61% of users charge less than or equal to 2 times a week. Most of the daily travel scenes are commuting, shopping, taking children to and from school, and so on.

In this context, Hongguang MINI EV was born at the right time, Dr. Zhao Liang said: "the reason why Hongguang MINI EV can move the post-80s, post-90s and other young users depends on four points: easy to open, love to use, worry-free and safe." With these advantages, Hongguang MINI EV perfectly solves the pain point of users' daily travel, and ushered in the 3.0 era.

Hongguang MINI EV has sold more than 30, 000 vehicles after 50 days on the market, making it a veritable "popular king" of China's new energy. It can be said that behind the continued popularity of Hongguang MINI EV, in addition to a profound insight into the travel scene of the people, it is also inseparable from SAIC GM Wuling's powerful new energy vehicle technology. Dr. Zhao Liang pointed out: "SAIC GM Wuling has redefined five key words of small electric vehicles: space, safety, energy consumption, energy supply and service, and redefined the ecological industry of Hongguang MINI EV from five dimensions."

Technology-oriented, redefine small electric vehicles

SAIC GM Wuling has been committed to providing users with the best travel solution, and its small new energy models follow the principle of "minimizing mechanical space and maximizing ride space" to provide users with the best travel options for the whole scene. Faced with the battery life problem of new energy vehicles, Dr. Shao Jie said: "by reducing the body quality, developing low rolling resistance tires and introducing low resistance technology, the current Hongguang MINI EV already has the second lowest energy consumption of 100 kilometers in the industry."

In addition, the Baojun E series models are also creatively equipped with an integrated charging gun to simplify the charging process, while relying on the huge data center to realize the seamless connection with the matching intelligent AC charging pile ecology. provide real-time search for nearby charging piles, real-time monitoring of vehicle safety and other services to make travel more casual.

Like battery life, safety is also a big problem for small new energy vehicles. SAIC GM Wuling insists that "small cars ≠ low-end cars". On the Hongguang MINI EV, the cage body structure and 57% high-strength steel turn the Hongguang MINI EV into a solid "mobile fortress".

Launch of GSEV Global small Electric Architecture, opening the way to Cross-border Integration

In fact, behind the research and development of a model, its development platform is very important. In this regard, Dr. Zhao Xiaoyu said: "SAIC GM Wuling currently has the largest user base of small electric vehicles, and has explored the largest number of small electric vehicle users, and has accumulated the largest number of small electric vehicle users. Our mission is to let small electric vehicles enter thousands of households, go out of China, and go global. So we released SAIC GM Wuling GSEV (Global Small Electric Vehicle) global small electric architecture. "

Future models based on GSEV architecture will have the safest body and configuration, the best chassis adjustment and the ultimate physical space, while the open hardware platform allows the same model to extend to different mileage versions, greatly improving the choice of users when buying cars.

Not only that, SAIC GM Wuling will continue to unite with industry giants to open diversified cross-border integration in the future. For SAIC GM Wuling, cross-border innovation is not limited to cars, can also be mobile robots, can also be smart home appliances, all from the people to the people. Wuling will build whatever the people need, which is not only a slogan, but also the direction of SAIC GM Wuling's efforts.
