Empowering cities and stimulating new driving forces in the intelligent industry
Currently, Chongqing is focusing on building the "33618" modern manufacturing cluster system, focusing on building three leading industrial clusters including intelligent connected new energy vehicles. Intelligent connected new energy vehicles have become the direction for the development of the global automotive industry. As an important domestic automobile production "old base", Chongqing has shifted from the field of fuel vehicles to the "new track" of new energy vehicles, accelerating the construction of an intelligent connected new energy vehicle industry cluster, and plans to build a world-class intelligent connected new energy vehicle industry cluster by 2030.
This year's Smart Expo brings together more than 500 enterprises, including Changan, Sailis, Fudi Battery, and Beidou Smart Connect, to comprehensively showcase innovative achievements, top technology products, and the latest solutions in the field of intelligent connected new energy vehicles. With the support of the Smart Expo, Chongqing is actively seizing the development opportunity in the era of building a digital China, with the intelligent connected new energy vehicle industry and other industries as the backbone of "manufacturing a strong city".
In recent years, Chongqing has anchored the trend of green and intelligent development in the automotive industry, continuously promoting technological innovation to empower industry development, strengthening automotive product and technological innovation, driving the continuous improvement of the new energy vehicle industry chain, continuous improvement of product quality and brand, and gradual stabilization of the supply chain system. At present, 16 new energy vehicle enterprises such as Changan Automobile and Celes have gathered, and multiple emerging brands are accelerating their rise. A batch of mid to high end new energy vehicle models have been launched and sold well.
Avita Technology Co., Ltd., jointly created by Changan Automobile, Huawei, and CATL, integrates the advantages of three companies in the fields of vehicle manufacturing, software technology, and batteries, achieving cross-border integration between the automotive industry and ICT enterprises.
To accelerate the development of the new energy vehicle industry, Chongqing focuses on building a stable supply chain system and continuously promotes "chain based investment attraction". It has gathered more than 200 intelligent connected new energy vehicle industry chain enterprises, laying the foundation for the development of the new energy vehicle industry.
At present, the production line of new energy vehicles and their supporting components in Chongqing is busy, and the products produced offline are not only meeting domestic market demand, but also accelerating their "going abroad" to seize international market share. According to statistics, the production of new energy vehicles in Chongqing reached 369000 units in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 142.5%; The export value of automobiles increased by nearly 90% year-on-year. Chongqing made new energy vehicles are accelerating their entry into domestic and international markets.

Starting towards the future, writing a new chapter in the development of digital intelligence
Open the app and soon a Baidu "Carrot Run" autonomous taxi arrived. Opening the rear car door and sitting down, fastening the seat belt, the vehicle will automatically start, accelerate, and change lanes... This experience is not uncommon in Yongchuan District, Chongqing. Ordinary citizens can make appointments through their mobile phones and take autonomous taxis.
At the 2023 Smart Expo, the "sense of future" and "technological value" of smart cars were even more fulfilled. As an event of the 2023 Smart Expo, the first Intelligent Automotive Application Scenario Challenge was recently held in Yongchuan District, Chongqing. More than 70 well-known companies in the industry, including Changan, Great Wall, BAIC, JD.com, Jiushi, and CRRC, signed up to participate.
The challenge competition consists of two sub venues: urban function competition and high-speed passage competition. Among them, the urban functional competition adopts the world's first non road closure method, allowing competition vehicles to mix with free traffic flow; The high-speed race is the world's first intelligent car competition held on an already used highway. It examines the performance, safety, efficiency and other indicators of intelligent connected new energy vehicles in a more realistic competition environment, accelerating the construction of new digital transportation scenarios.
Autonomous driving and vehicle networking are important supports for achieving smart transportation, as well as important directions for the transformation and upgrading of the automotive industry. In recent years, in order to better guide "smart cars" towards the "smart road", Chongqing has promoted the application of technologies such as vehicle road collaboration, carried out autonomous driving testing and demonstration operations, and created a more intelligent travel experience; On the one hand, we will accelerate the cultivation of enterprises related to the Internet of Vehicles, enrich the ecosystem of the Internet of Vehicles industry, and form a chain of enterprises and momentum.
As a fully open demonstration city for autonomous driving, Yongchuan District actively promotes the commercial operation of intelligent connected vehicles in environmental sanitation, logistics and other application scenarios, in addition to supporting enterprises to carry out demonstration operations of autonomous driving buses and ride hailing services; Integrate and integrate data from traffic police, transportation management and other systems, build a smart transportation brain in Yongchuan, and launch application services such as intelligent timing of signal lights and parking space level navigation to promote the deep integration and development of the Internet of Vehicles with smart transportation and smart cities.
As the only national level vehicle networking pilot zone in the western region, Chongqing's national level vehicle networking pilot zone has built over 370 kilometers of vehicle road coordination roads, and more than 2200 intelligent connected vehicles with vehicle networking C-V2X direct communication capabilities have been networked. It has created two major applications: intelligent connected public transportation and intelligent connected ride hailing, realizing 18 basic application scenarios such as collision warning and green wave traffic guidance.
