China Wuling: China's new energy vehicle standard system construction promoter

In China, one out of every five pure electric vehicles is a Wuling.

In particular, the cumulative sales of Hongguang MINIEV, a small EV launched at the end of July 2020, have exceeded the 500,000 mark, and it has been the sales champion in China's new energy market for 15 consecutive months, while the cumulative sales of GSEV's global small EV platform products have also exceeded 700,000 units.

In the industry's view, Wuling, with its absolute dominance, has not only driven the entire small pure electric market, but also played an important role in the construction of some new energy key standard systems, such as range.

Last December, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has convened a meeting to require vehicle enterprises, battery companies, research institutions and other organizations to strengthen the technical synergies to fundamentally promote the solution to the problem of low-temperature range.

It's worth mentioning that Hongguang MINIEV's low-temperature range retention rate reached 67.5% (industry average 59.95%) in a recent third-party test conducted by China's Automotive Research Institute (ARI).

Ouyang Minggao, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, professor at Tsinghua University and deputy director of the school's Academic Committee, believes that this achievement is of great significance in promoting the development of the new energy industry, and will even promote the full replacement of small fuel vehicles by small new energy vehicles.

And in the recently held new energy vehicle low-temperature range technology innovation conference, experts and scholars from the domestic industry, universities, research institutions, but also around how to break through the bottleneck of the new energy vehicle low-temperature range technology to promote the new energy-related standards development and other aspects of the topic launched an in-depth discussion.

Shaw Chengwei, deputy director of the National Automotive Standardization Technical Committee, pointed out that Wuling is the promoter of China's new energy automobile standard system construction, Wuling launched a small pure electric car products in the world set a benchmark, and suggested that the next Wuling in the small pure electric car electric core, module and other components standardization for the development of the industry to make greater contributions.

Liu Xiaoshi, deputy secretary-general of the China Association of 100 Electric Vehicles (CAEV), said China must have an affordable car if it is to become the world's leading automotive power.

"In the next ten years, we have small cars from A00 class to A0 class to B class, which is an important symbol for China to become a big automobile country, and Wuling plays a leading role in the development of electric cars for the world."

Shanghai Jie, chief technology officer of intelligent platform of SAIC-GM-Wuling Technology Center, disclosed at the event that the future will be upgraded through technical upgrading, with the design concept of "open-source and cost-saving, intelligent and efficient", and systematic optimization of new energy vehicle latitude and latitude, in order to maximize to meet the user's needs of low-temperature scenarios.

For example, in the "open source" aspect, around the positive and negative electrode materials of the battery core, electrolyte formula and other aspects, constantly explore ways to improve the low-temperature performance of the battery core; in the "cost-saving" aspect, through the development of more efficient heat pump air-conditioning as well as residual heat recovery technology, the new upgraded vehicle full-climate intelligent intelligent technology, and the development of a more efficient heat pump air conditioning and waste heat recovery technology.

The company has also upgraded the vehicle's whole-climate intelligent thermal management system; in terms of "intelligent and efficient", it will integrate innovative end-to-end cloud multi-dimensional algorithms to make the low-temperature energy estimation more "intelligent".

In the future, these innovative technologies will be applied to the subsequent products of SAIC-GM-Wuling new energy vehicles.

It is worth mentioning that, given that SAIC-GM-Wuling has actively participated in the development of a number of standards in the field of new energy vehicles (participation in the development of new energy vehicle industry standards *** count 117, of which 1 international standard, 89 national standards, 18 industry standards, 1 local standards, 8 group standards), the conference site China Automotive Research Institute also issued to SAIC-GM-Wuling China new energy vehicle The conference also awarded SAIC-GM-Wuling the certificate of China's new energy enterprise standard "frontrunner".

Industry standard "electric vehicle conductive charging with integrated AC power supply standard socket" led the drafting of the industry for the first time in the industry to regulate the small power AC charging on the facility side of the technical requirements; led the drafting of the release of the group standard "electric vehicle AC charging socket" to promote the development of new energy automobile industry in guangxi, the formation of the "wuling mode The group standard "AC Charging Socket for Electric Vehicles" has promoted the development of new energy vehicle industry in Guangxi and formed the "Wuling Model"; the national standard "Technical Conditions for Pure Electric Passenger Vehicles" has further standardized the research and development and production of electric vehicles in China, promoted the application of electric vehicles in the market, strengthened the management of electric vehicles, and promoted the healthy development of electric vehicle industry.

Ouyang Minggao pointed out that the new energy vehicles only standards towards standardization, the entire industry can move towards maturity, vigorously promote the development of new energy standards, will strongly promote the scale of the industry, standardization. SAIC-GM-Wuling has achieved good results in participating in the development of local standards, industry standards, national standards, and even international standards, which is worth summarizing.

When the GSEV platform was released in 2020, SAIC-GM-Wuling summarized it as four points: a minimalist physical platform, an open hardware platform, a convergent software platform, and a smart cloud platform.

The purpose is to redefine the five keywords of small and micro electric vehicles: large space, good safety, low energy consumption, convenient energy supply, and attentive service.

Today, the GSEV platform still maintains more than 50,000 units per month, and according to this trend, the GSEV platform, which has just reached a cumulative sales volume of 700,000 units, is accelerating towards the "new peak" of one million units.
