Inside Changan | Launch New Journey, Unite the Chain: Exploring New Opportunities for Collaborative Automotive Intelligence

Edited by Betty From Gasgoo

Gasgoo Munich- On October 16, 2026, Gasgoo will lead a delegation of suppliers specializing in smart cockpits, autonomous driving, connectivity, intelligent chassis, embodied intelligence, and low-altitude flight into Changan Automobile. The goal: face-to-face tech showcases and deep dialogue with Changan's R&D and procurement teams. This industry matchmaking event serves as a concrete step in Changan's transformation into a smart, low-carbon mobility tech company—and its bid to solidify its tech innovation system.

As a representative figure among Chinese automakers, Changan Automobile boasts 162 years of heritage and 40 years of car-building experience. Its global footprint spans 14 production bases and 33 factories dedicated to vehicles, engines, and transmissions. The brand portfolio includes proprietary labels like Changan NEVO, Deepal, Avatr, Changan UNI, and Changan Kaicene, alongside joint ventures such as Changan Ford, Changan Mazda, and Jiangling Motors.

That comprehensive brand architecture has yielded strong market results. In August 2026, Changan's total deliveries reached 218,800 vehicles. Overseas performance was particularly bright, with 92,400 units delivered—a 78.6% year-on-year surge that marked the seventh consecutive month of growth. The new energy sector kept pace, delivering 105,000 units, up 22.7% from a year earlier.

This market resilience stems from Changan's relentless push into core technologies. On the intelligence front, the automaker has committed to full-stack in-house development. In February 2025, Changan upgraded its "Beidou Tianshu 2.0" strategy, vowing to halt development of non-intelligent products. The company has poured over 60 billion yuan into intelligent technologies—with 22.5 billion dedicated to smart products alone—growing its intelligent tech team from scratch to 7,500 people. Later, at the 2026 Changan Technology Eco Conference, it officially launched "Tianshu Navigation," a self-developed, one-stage end-to-end intelligent driving assistance system.

Currently, Changan is zeroing in on smart cockpits, in-car AI, and intelligent driving. Leveraging its "Tianshu Intelligence" technology brand, the company is achieving diverse breakthroughs while identifying clear needs for technical upgrades and cooperation in areas like domain control and efficiency improvements. Simultaneously, it is laying the groundwork in frontier fields such as embodied intelligence and the low-altitude economy to explore cross-sector collaboration paths.

To precisely match the practical needs of Changan's intelligent transformation, bridge the gap between parts suppliers and Changan's R&D and procurement systems, and showcase cutting-edge tech achievements, Changan Automobile has partnered with Gasgoo to host the "Launch New Journey, Unite the Chain" Walk into Changan Innovation Technology Exhibition.

The event features an all-day technology exhibition spotlighting frontier innovations across the supply chain. By gathering high-quality intelligent industry resources, it aims to discuss innovation directions and implementation paths. The ultimate goal: help Changan consolidate its competitive edge in intelligence and drive win-win, coordinated growth across the upstream and downstream automotive supply chain.

For participating suppliers, this event offers a high-efficiency channel to engage directly with the OEM's core decision-makers. It not only shortens the business cooperation cycle and increases the likelihood of project landing but also allows for close observation of the OEM's latest technology roadmaps and procurement directions—helping companies capture industry trends. Participants can deeply mine potential cooperation projects and accelerate their integration into Changan's supply chain system. Additionally, multi-channel media exposure will elevate brand influence among OEMs and industry circles, building a high-quality network with experts and peers. It's a chance to achieve technical exchange and resource sharing, while demonstrating hard product and tech capabilities in real industrial scenarios.

The event expects to recruit over 60 companies, and registration channels are now fully open.
