On May 22, FAW announced on its official account that it had signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement with Xilai, which would focus on the research and development of rechargeable battery models, battery asset management and operation. Up to now, as many as 8 car companies have joined the electricity exchange alliance.

At the same time, China FAW also announced a large model cooperation with iFLYTEK. At a time when the cold is approaching traditional car companies, FAW's move also means that the central car company is trying to quickly make up for the shortcomings of intelligence.

China FAW and Weilai sign strategic cooperation framework agreement

According to the official WeChat account of China FAW on May 22, China FAW and Weilai signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement at the Jilin-Anhui Cooperation and Development Exchange Symposium on May 21. Qiu Xiandong, chairman and party committee secretary of FAW, and Li Bin, founder, chairman and CEO of China FAW, attended the signing ceremony. Sun Huibin, general manager of FAW Strategy and Cooperation Department, and Shen Fei, senior vice president of Lailai, signed the contract on behalf of both sides.

Qiu Xiandong said that FAW of China will seize the opportunity of cooperation between the two provinces, give full play to the role of central enterprises in scientific and technological innovation, industrial control, and safety support, and deeply tap the potential and expand the fruits of cooperation with excellent enterprises in the automobile industry chain, such as Ulai. To help Jilin and Anhui's automobile industry develop in a green and intelligent direction.

Li Bin said that the strategic cooperation between the two sides will further promote the standardization of power exchange technology, the generalization of power exchange mode and the large-scale process of power exchange network, solve user mileage anxiety and contribute to the rapid development of China's smart electric vehicle industry.

According to the strategic cooperation framework agreement, FAW and Weilai will further give full play to their advantages and carry out omni-directional and multi-level in-depth strategic cooperation around battery technical standards, research and development of rechargeable and rechargeable battery models, battery asset management and operation, network construction and operation of rechargeable and rechargeable energy ecological services, and battery industry procurement and matching.

Power exchange alliance expands rapidly

According to China Fund News, it should be mentioned that FAW's high-profile announcement of joining the power exchange alliance also shows its recognition of the power exchange mode to a certain extent.

Previously, there is a market view that with the development of fast charging technology, 4C, 5C overcharge models have been unveiled, and the construction of overcharging stations is becoming more and more popular, the advantage of power exchange seems to be shrinking.

However, since the beginning of this year, there has been a great trend of "overtaking" in the power exchange mode. After Changan Automobile joined the power exchange alliance, Geely Holdings, Chery Automobile, Jiangqi Group and Lutes also joined the bureau one after another.

Just half a month ago, GAC GROUP also became a member of the electricity exchange alliance. GAC and Weilai not only cooperate in the field of power exchange, but also promote the interconnection of their own charging platforms. So far, the number of car companies that have joined the Weilai Power Exchange Alliance has reached 8.

It is worth mentioning that GAC, in addition to power exchange cooperation with Weilai, also holds hands with another giant. On May 16, GAC Ean and Ningde era began power exchange cooperation, covering the development of power exchange models, development, production and circulation of replacement blocks, vehicle and battery data management, vehicle quality assurance after-sales service, and so on.

"the market's thinking about changing electricity is somewhat simple, and the meaning of changing electricity is not just to form an option to replenish energy together with charging." Li Bin, founder of Weilai, told reporters recently.

According to agency estimates, by 2032, nearly 20 million new energy vehicles are expected to face battery warranty expiration, but the battery cycle life is often lower than the vehicle mileage. For example, normally the mileage of a vehicle can reach 1 million kilometers, but the current battery cycle life in the industry is only 240000 kilometers. Make up for the deficiency of intelligence

In November 2023, Changan announced strategic cooperation with Huawei and plans to invest in Huawei's proposed new company to focus on automotive intelligent systems and components solutions. And this new joint venture is the lookout company.

At that time, Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei and chairman of BU, said publicly that "I hope China FAW Group will join".

According to the data, Huawei completed the registration of the lookout company on January 16 this year, with a registered capital of 1 billion yuan, covering many areas such as intelligent driving solutions, intelligent cockpits, smart car digital platforms, smart car clouds, AR-HUD and intelligent car lights.

Recently, Changan has announced the completion of due diligence. As for when the investment can finally be landed, the time node given by the central automobile enterprise is before August 31 this year.

As for Dongfeng Motor, its Lantu Automobile and Mengshi Technologies successively reached cooperation with Huawei at the beginning of this year, including accelerating the large-scale commercial landing of intelligent technology.

It is not difficult to see that in terms of electrification and intelligence, the three major central automobile enterprises have "issued their cards" one after another and began to make up for their own shortcomings.
