Xpeng и первая модель Volkswagen: Полноценная автомобильная платформа на базе G9 с интеллектуальной кабиной и интеллектуальными функциями вождения
В июле 26, Фольксваген и Двигатели Xpeng announced a technical cooperation framework agreement, с Volkswagen investing $700 млн в Xpeng Motors. The collaboration will leverage Xpeng Motors’ vehicle platform, Умный кокпит, и интеллектуальная система вождения, в то время как Volkswagen предоставит свои ведущие в мире возможности в области инжиниринга и цепочки поставок. The negotiations between the two companies began in the fourth quarter of last year, and this partnership is seen as a win-win situation. Volkswagen’s investment will complement its smart cockpit and high-end smart driving capabilities, boosting its electric vehicle sales in China. С другой стороны, Двигатели Xpeng, known for its mid-to-high-end assisted driving capabilities, will benefit from Volkswagen’s expertise to further advance its autonomous driving technology.
Xpeng Motors has been making significant strides in autonomous driving with its NGP (Пилот с навигационным гидом) система, which provides functions like automatic avoidance of construction scenes, intelligent response to side car congestion, и многое другое. Its urban NGP has achieved an efficiency close to 90% of human drivers and will be expanded to nearly 50 cities in the second half of the year. Дополнительно, the new XNGP based on the XNET deep learning algorithm will achieve extensive coverage of urban roads across the country, surpassing Tesla’s performance in the US.
Сверх того, Xpeng Motors has introduced the 800V silicon carbide electrical architecture, allowing for rapid battery charging and an extended driving range. The company’s latest Swing architecture brings innovative features like front and rear integrated aluminum die-casting body, Технология интеграции аккумулятора CIB с корпусом, and a communication architecture with Gigabit Ethernet backbone. This architecture also benefits from the autonomous driving intelligent computing center “Fuyao,” which significantly boosts the training speed of the core model for Xpeng’s autonomous driving.
The collaboration between Xpeng Motors and Volkswagen addresses the shortcomings of both companies, making it a promising venture in the rapidly evolving electric vehicle market.
