The former concentrates on connectivity, digital transformation and smart mobility service. The lab will deploy cutting-edge IoV security technology research to strengthen R&D and evaluation of IoV security products. Then the capability of internal security system is to be improved. In addition, standardized and normalized building and supervision and audit are expected to be implemented. Those will help build digital Dongfeng Motor and models. 

The lab co-built by Dongfeng and China Mobile mainly focuses on the cooperation and research on 5G technology and IoV-related applications. Through promoting solutions to technical standard and network, the lab aims to make relevant product more competitive at home and abroad.    

The first ICV model co-made by Dongfeng and Tencent is expected to make its debut at the Auto China next year. 

In the intelligent era, automotive enterprises cannot independently develop all technologies needed. Product and service are facilitated through effective collaboration with different expert businesses. This is not only conducive to automakers’ business expansion, but also will bring diversified intelligent experience for car owners.          

After all, if 5G smartphone comes, can 5G intelligent automobiles be far behind？
