Is Changan Automobile a New Energy Vehicle?
3 Answers
Changan is an automobile company that offers new energy vehicle models under its brand. Below is extended information about Changan Automobile: Changan Automobile Co., Ltd.: Changan Automobile Co., Ltd., abbreviated as Changan Automobile, has established a global collaborative R&D layout with "six countries and nine locations" in Chongqing, Beijing, Hebei, Hefei, Turin (Italy), Yokohama (Japan), Birmingham (UK), Detroit (USA), and Munich (Germany), each focusing on different aspects. In 2014, Changan's Chinese brand vehicles surpassed cumulative production and sales of 10 million units, becoming the first Chinese brand to enter the "10 Million Club." Mini Pure Electric Models: These mainly include the Benben FV, the small pure electric SUV model OS15EV, the compact sedan Yihu IEV465, ESiar, E-P70, ERoxx, E-LIie, and several other new models. Hybrid Models: These include the Oshan X7, CS75 PHEV, and others.
From my personal experience in car selection, Changan Automobile is a representative of traditional automakers in transition. It is indeed vigorously promoting new energy vehicles, with pure electric brands like Deepal and Avatr under its umbrella, but don't forget its fuel-powered vehicles are still being sold. I found it quite interesting at the Changan 4S store showroom - the UNI-V fuel version was displayed on the left, while the Deepal SL03 was on the right. The salesperson mentioned that now one out of every three cars sold has a green license plate. So to be precise, Changan is walking on two legs: fuel vehicles continue to generate income, while new energy vehicles are charging ahead at full speed. When I test-drove the Deepal S7 last month, I particularly noticed that their hybrid technology can already achieve a pure electric range of 200 kilometers.
Recently, I finally figured this out while car shopping for my daughter. Changan Automobile isn't a purely new energy brand; it's more like a traditional fuel vehicle manufacturer in transition. It still sells conventional Changan fuel models like the CS75 PLUS as its mainstay, while simultaneously rolling out new energy vehicle series. Last week when I took my daughter to the mall, the Avatr 11 display car was placed right next to the Huawei store. The salesperson mentioned that the three-electric system co-developed by Changan and CATL is exceptionally safe. I can see Changan is taking new energy seriously - the entire Deepal series supports fast charging, reaching 80% in just 30 minutes.
