Shanghai (ZXZC)-Changan Automobile will no longer build new non-connected vehicles from 2020 on and all of its vehicles will be internet connected, according to the automaker’s Dubhe intelligent strategy. Besides, all on-board functions of Changan vehicles can be controlled by voice in 2025. 

At the 2018 Changan Automobile Intelligent Strategy Press Conference, the automaker released its Dubhe intelligent strategy and the “4+1 inniative”. Under the guidance of the Dubhe strategy, Changan will transform from a traditional automaker to an intelligent mobility technology company.

According to Changan’s vision, in 2025, it is unnecessary for users to drive vehicles to 4S shops because vehicles can conduct remote diagnosis, upgrading and realize software fixing and iteration all by themselves. At that conference, Changan formed intelligent strategic alliance with many tech companies at home and abroad. The automaker will set up 5 user experience centers around the globe.

Apart from the intelligent strategy, Changan also announced its strategy in new energy vehicle (NEV) segment a year a year ago. In October, 2017, Changan announced its Shangri-La Plan.
