The chairman said that the ongoing new energy and connectivity trend could be concluded into five transformations and four networks. The five transformations include electrification, intellectualization, connectivity, sharing, and the material lightweight trend. The four networks cover transportation, energy, information, and finance. The trends are pushing the auto industry to branch out and make new cross-industry partners for mutual development.

In an effort to realize the targets, Dongfeng Motor decided to help its AEOLUS brand achieve fully electrification among new products in 2024 and elevate its new product V2X implementation rate to over 80%. 

As for automotive intelligence, the group aims to arm more than half of its new products with L2-L3 autonomous driving technologies, and realize large-scale pilot operation of L4 autonomous vehicles. 

Being a believer of industry integration and cooperation, Dongfeng Motor Corporation currently holds relationship with more than six thousand suppliers with over one thousand in Hubei Province alone. The company will continue working with its vast number of partners and further the development of China’s auto industry together.
