Guoneng plans to invest 20 billion yuan to build a factory in Songjiang, Shanghai to produce electric vehicles.

On June 20, Guoneng Automobile held the launching ceremony of the “Three-network integration” platform for smart electric roads and the Shanghai Guoneng New Energy Vehicle Base in Shanghai. Guoneng Automobile plans to invest 20 billion yuan to build electric vehicles in Songjiang, Shanghai, and plan production capacity. 100,000 vehicles / year.

It is understood that Guoneng Automobile's Shanghai plant will produce two models of cars and SUVs. In addition, the Tianjin plant will be officially put into operation this year. The first batch of products will be mainly used by major customers in the industry for vehicle operation. Guoneng was known for acquiring the old Swedish automaker Saab. In the 6 years of 2015, Guoneng registered a new energy vehicle subsidiary in Tianjin. In October of the same year, the Tianjin base started construction.

In June 2016, the “NEVS” brand was released. In January 2017, the National Development and Reform Commission approved the construction of a new pure electric passenger vehicle project, but it has not yet obtained official access from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

In addition to producing electric vehicles, Guoneng Motors intends to promote a new "smart electric road" technology. Official data shows that the vehicle is being charged while driving by modifying the road, laying cables, and adding a charger to the bottom of the car. If the intelligent electric road reconstruction is carried out on the existing road, the battery life of the electric vehicle loading battery can be as long as 50km, and the construction cost is about 2 million yuan/km.

The company is very optimistic about this technology. The charging of vehicles can help the electric trucks and trucks to be electrified, thus eliminating the current increase in the number of batteries for increasing the cruising range of trucks, resulting in heavy weight and long charging time. problem. The intelligent power system can also provide traffic information big data support, management and real-time data sharing to promote the automatic driving function. The above technologies will soon face the discussion and discussion of relevant ministries and commissions, and plans to conduct tests in Shanghai, Tianjin and Beijing in the next few months.

Gunnar Asplund, chairman of the Swedish Smart Power Road Company, said that the above technology has been tested in Sweden for many years. In May 2012, a 200-meter test road was laid in Aranda, Sweden. In March 2018, the above-mentioned road section was added to 2 kilometers and started operation.

According to Gunnar Asplund, this technology will reduce the number of charging piles by 90% and the battery usage by about 80%, extend battery life by about 3 times, reduce the cost of pure electric vehicles by about 40%, and reduce vehicle operation and transportation costs by about 50%. In order to implement the intelligent electric road, Guoneng Automobile has acquired the Swedish Smart Power Highway Company and the Swedish Mimer Company.
