Technology And Global Innovation Build Future Mobility

Change Automobile is known as a pioneer in the development of global automotive technology. Through Change Digital Smart Factory in Yubei, Chongqing, the company operates the world's first intelligent automotive factory with full 5G connectivity and artificial intelligence (AI), the result of collaboration with China Unicom and Huawei.

This 770,000 square meter facility has a production capacity of up to 280,000 units per year, and is designed to achieve the highest efficiency and flexibility in the process of digitizing, manufacturing batteries, and vehicle assembly.

Three Pillars Of Changan Innovation

In developing future vehicles, Changan adheres to the three main pillars of innovation:

The Dubhe Plan, which focuses on developing new generation of autonomous vehicles.

Shangri-La Mission, which focuses on electrification and energy efficiency.

Vast Ocean Plan, which is oriented towards increasing value and convenience for consumers.

As a tangible manifestation of Shangri-La Mission, Changan presents various electrification innovations that redefine the standards of efficiency and security. One of them is Golden Shield Battery, the world's first solid-state battery with a high-frequency wave heating system, combining efficiency and security in one revolutionary innovation.

Changan also introduced the EV (Extended-Range Electric Vehicle) or REEV (Range-Extended Electric Vehicle) technology, a smart electrification solution that combines a main electric motor with a gasoline engine as a generator, which automatically recharges the battery when its capacity decreases. With this combination, vehicles can cover a distance of up to 1,150 kilometers in battery conditions and full fuel tanks.

Through concrete steps in marketing and local production plans, Changan emphasized his commitment to strengthening the independence of the Indonesian automotive industry, encouraging national economic growth, and presenting a smart and sustainable future of mobility.
