Shanghai (Gasgoo)- SAIC MAXUS, a subsidiary of SAIC Group, plans to roll out dozens of new energy vehicle (NEV) models over the next five years and make NEVs contribute to over 30% of total new car sales by 2025, according to the ALL3  ROADMAP planning the automaker announced at the Auto Guangzhou 2020.

As of now, SAIC MAXUS has formed a NEV lineup that covers MPVs, SUVs and light buses, and built a comprehensive energy system involving the powertrain solutions of battery electric, hybrid and fuel cell. It currently has a number of NEV models such as the EV80, the EV90, the EV30, the EUNIQ series and the FCV80.

The company started its NEV offensive about six years ago with the market launch of the EV80 full-electric light bus. The EV90 BEV went through up to 273 collision, flammability and waterproof experiments, the first China-made new energy wide-body light bus given market access by the European Union. Moreover, the EV30 mid-sized all-electric logistics vehicle adopts a lot of aluminium alloy and polymer composites in exterior to keep weight down, and is the first China-branded vehicle to enter Europe's small and mid-sized market segment.

In new energy PV area, SAIC Maxus launched the China's first large-sized all-electric MPV model, the EG10. In 2019, the automaker unveiled the “EUNIQ” series. Two “EUNIQ” models—the EUNIQ 5 MPV and the EUNIQ 6 SUV—hit the market in May 2020, each of which comes with two powertrain solutions—EV and hybrid. 

As for fuel cell vehicle (FCV) business, SAIC Maxus' FCV80 hydrogen fuel cell-powered wide-body light bus went on sale as far back as 2017, and has been commercially operated in such cities as Foshan, Shanghai, Fushun and Wuxi.

The company stepped up its FCV drive by launching the world's first fuel cell MPV, the EUNIQ 7, in this year's September. The vehicle has a NEDC-rated range of up to 605km thanks to the 83.5kW fuel cell system and 70MPa hydrogen cylinder. It only takes three to five minutes to fill the EUNIQ 7's 6.4-kg high-pressure hydrogen tank.
