A new model of cross-border cooperation AITO asks the community to create China’s intellectual ＂acceleration＂

    Recently, a group of people in Chongqing Sailisi Liangjiang Smart Factory are witnessing an important moment.

    Jiang Duntao, Vice Mayor of Chongqing Municipal People’s Government, Zhang Xinghai, Chairman (founder) of Celesys Group, Yu Chengdong, Managing Director of Huawei, BU CEO of Terminal, CEO of Smart Car Solution, and representatives of owners and suppliers of AITO, witnessed the 100,000 th production car of AITO.

    AITO asked the world to produce more than 100,000 cars, and it only took 15 months to become the fastest new energy vehicle brand to reach this milestone.

    At the off-line ceremony of mass production vehicles, Zhang Xinghai, chairman (founder) of Celeste Group, said: "Both parties (Celeste and Huawei) will give full play to their respective advantages and cooperate in core technologies, products and channels to create the head brand of smart electric vehicles in China."

   Creating an industry record, AITO asked the world to run out of mass production "acceleration"

    100,000 units, which is an extremely memorable number. Creating the fastest mass production speed in the smart car industry is the result of "1+1>2" cooperation between Huawei and Cyrus.

    "AITO has reached 100,000 vehicles off the assembly line in 15 months, achieving a breakthrough of 0 to 1, marking the recognition and trust of users and verifying the success of the smart car selection model." Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei, CEO of terminal BG and CEO of smart car solution BU, said.

    Since the beginning of joint business cooperation in 2021, Celestial Auto and Huawei have jointly designed a "smart car selection" model, which has created an industry precedent for cross-border cooperation between new energy auto companies and ICT technology companies. Cross-border cooperation is rapidly releasing the growth momentum of China’s new energy automobile industry.

    Celeste Automobile is responsible for the research and development of new cars, intelligent manufacturing, service and creating a pleasant car experience in the whole life cycle. As an important integrator of software products in Celeste automobile industry chain, Huawei has empowered itself through core software and hardware technologies such as electrification and intelligent parts, and the two sides have complementary advantages and win-win integration, which has jointly created a leap of 100,000.

    AITO asked the world to run out of the "acceleration" of mass production of new energy vehicles, relying on the powerful intelligent manufacturing strength of new energy automobile enterprises in China. Relying on the quality strategy of Celis automobile products, AITO has not only achieved rapid off-line production, but also met the requirements of high standards in quality.

    In the Sailisi Liangjiang Smart Factory, which is built according to the industrial 4.0 standard, there are over 1,000 robots working together in the workshops of stamping, welding, painting and final assembly to realize highly automated production. Among them, 100% automation of key processes is realized, and 24-hour full-time online inspection is realized, which effectively reduces the labor cost and makes the manufacturing accuracy and product quality reach the first-class level.

    In Sailisi Vehicle Testing Center, AITO vehicles have to pass the tests and verifications of various cabin platforms during vehicle development, such as vehicle noise, vibration and acoustic vibration tests, high and low temperature environment cabin tests, etc. In the road test, there are many tests such as acceleration, braking, stable operation, three high and one wet (high temperature, high humidity, high corrosion and rainy) environment test and ADAS advanced driver assistance system test, which make full use of automation and big data to protect product quality in every link of R&D and mass production.

    Cyrus and Huawei cooperated deeply, and 100,000 production cars were rolled off the assembly line in just 15 months, which fully reflected the control of users’ needs by both parties. Supported by the advanced manufacturing system, it has brought strong product competitiveness.

    AITO has many bright spots in its products. Take Wujie M5 Intelligent Driving Edition as an example. It is not only equipped with Celeste DE-i super electric driving intelligent technology platform, but also equipped with an overhead laser radar, three millimeter-wave radars, eleven high-definition cameras and twelve ultrasonic radars, so as to realize a high-order intelligent driving experience close to L3.

   Create an industry model, and technology+manufacturing promote industrial innovation.

    At present, the automobile industry is undergoing profound historical changes.

    Intelligent automobile is becoming a trend. On the one hand, just like smart phones replacing function machines, intelligent new energy vehicles will become the mainstream in the future automobile industry. On the other hand, the car has also changed from a simple means of transportation to a third space that integrates entertainment, leisure, office and transportation.

    In the process of such transformation, new requirements have been put forward for the automobile industry.

    First, the integration of technology industry and automobile industry is moving from behind the scenes to the front, and the industrial leap is increasingly showing a trend of integration. With the gradual emergence of this trend, the combination of technology enterprises and automobile enterprises has begun to provide more possibilities for the industrial upgrading of China automobile manufacturing.

    Second, the automobile industry is entering the era of "software-defined" cars. In the new stage of development, professional people are needed to do professional things. Only companies that are good at software and hardware cross-border cooperation and deep integration, and give full play to the longboard effect, can we truly create high-quality automobile products that meet the needs of users.

    The cooperation between Huawei and Cyrus actually represents that the integration of technology and manufacturing is gradually deepening. With the continuous growth of R&D investment and the continuous accumulation of core technologies, with the strong alliance between Celestial Automobile and Huawei, AITO will continue to advance in the accumulation of key technologies and high-end product experience, providing users with smarter and more efficient travel solutions.

    From the perspective of industrial change, the integration of top manufacturing and top technology is pushing China manufacturing into a new stage of development.

    In the past development process, the automobile industry has realized the leap of intelligent manufacturing and quality automation. At the same time, China automobile manufacturing has also achieved the transition from auto parts, to complete vehicles, to intelligent electric vehicles. The next step is to continuously lead the development of the industry through technological innovation.

    Nowadays, China automobile manufacturing also leads the world in the field of innovation, and China automobile industry is running out of the development acceleration.

    For example, in terms of innovation, AITO pioneered the GOD(General Obstacle Detection) network in the industry, which can identify alien objects outside the white list of general obstacles; Combined with the road topology inference network, it is the first to realize the high-speed and high-order intelligent driving function in urban areas without relying on high-precision maps.

    Sailis will continue to increase investment and long-term cultivation on the marathon track of innovation, build technical confidence with innovation, and continue to build integrated R&D capability of software and hardware including "full-stack self-research+system integration" to create a powerful, comfortable and convenient product experience for users. Celestial’s business goal is to achieve the production and sales of 1 million new energy vehicles in 2026. For new products, Celestial will continue to invest in new technologies, new materials and new processes, while Huawei terminals will empower new products in terms of intelligence, digitalization and user experience through HarmonyOS system.

    "Sailisi always pursues long-term sustainable and healthy development under the guidance of the development principle of’ persisting in innovation-driven, persisting in long-term, persisting in commercial success’." Zhang Xinghai, chairman (founder) of Celeste Group, said, "In the future, the joint business cooperation between Celeste and Huawei will be deeper and closer, which will promote the transition from 1 to N in AITO, bringing more value to industries, users and markets."
