en.Wedoany.com Reported - At the 4th Future Mobility Conference held at the end of May, Xiang Xingchu, Secretary of the Party Committee, Chairman, and General Manager of JAC Group, delivered a speech outlining four major trends in the current automotive industry transformation. He stated that technological innovation and change are accelerating iteration, with numerous technology paths gradually converging. Electrification, intelligence, and connectivity are moving from "multiple points of bloom" to "integrated unity," and AI is becoming the core engine driving industrial transformation. The automotive industry is undergoing a comprehensive shift from "software-defined vehicles" to "AI-redefined vehicles." While industrial boundaries are expanding, organizational boundaries need to focus and converge. Traditional functional automotive brands are being phased out at an accelerated pace, with the market share of traditional fuel vehicles shrinking by 10% to 15% annually. New automotive ecosystems, new divisions of labor, and new business models are rapidly taking shape. The Beijing Auto Show and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Auto Show have already achieved "co-location of complete vehicles and parts suppliers," with OEMs and component companies transitioning toward comprehensive ecological integration. Chinese brands are seizing a historic golden opportunity for rise brought by the transformation of the intelligent new energy vehicle industry, benefiting from the institutional advantages of nationwide innovation, a complete manufacturing system, a vast pool of engineers, and a consumption environment that encourages innovation.
Xiang Xingchu emphasized that China's automotive industry is at a critical stage of transitioning from a large automotive country to a strong one. This threshold cannot be crossed through individual efforts alone; only by sharing value and building consensus can the right path be found.
When introducing corporate practices, Xiang Xingchu highlighted the progress of the Zunjie project. Since its launch on May 30, 2025, the Zunjie S800 has achieved cumulative deliveries exceeding 18,500 units, topping the sales chart for luxury sedans priced above 700,000 yuan for eight consecutive months, setting a new record for delivery speed among domestic million-yuan luxury cars. The high-end customized version and MPV of the Zunjie S800 are progressing as planned and will be released soon. Xiang Xingchu pointed out that the Zunjie brand is not simply replicating the development path of traditional luxury cars but is rewriting the narrative paradigm of ultra-luxury automotive brands through technological innovation. He stated that JAC Motors, in collaboration with partners such as Huawei, has achieved a "whole battalion as one gun" approach in advancing the Zunjie project, forming a deeply integrated joint team in product definition, technology R&D, manufacturing, and quality management.
In terms of industrial chain collaboration, JAC Motors has built an open original technology ecosystem known as "One Foundation, Two Wings," with itself as the engineering base. This ecosystem has successfully connected top-tier supply chain partners such as Huawei, CATL, Schaeffler, ZF, and Yanfeng International, and has established joint laboratories with 20 expert teams, including Academicians Zhong Zhihua, Li Keqiang, and Li Yadong, forming a complete closed loop from original technology incubation to industrial application. On the manufacturing front, JAC Motors has built the Zunjie Super Factory, powered by a digital twin foundation and AI-driven engines. The factory is equipped with over 1,800 robots, capable of collecting more than 300,000 data points per second, and implementing atomic-level monitoring at 26,000 critical quality points. In supply chain management, JAC Motors has formed a "Quality Alliance" with over 200 core suppliers, transforming traditional transactional relationships into a community of shared destiny.
Regarding further cooperation with Huawei, Xiang Xingchu revealed that the two parties have signed a deepened cooperation agreement (Version 2.0) to jointly tackle cutting-edge and first-launch technologies. They have officially launched the Intelligent Electric Joint Innovation Center to enhance the self-research and self-production capabilities of core components, achieving full-stack synergy from vehicle integration to chassis control. On the capital front, JAC Motors plans to invest in Yinwang, promoting deeper capital-level integration with Huawei.
Looking ahead to the "15th Five-Year Plan," JAC Motors has unveiled its "1248" strategic layout: "1" refers to the development goal of "one million sales and 100 billion yuan in revenue"; "2" refers to adhering to the two key paths of "independent development + open cooperation"; "4" refers to focusing on four main battlefields: leading with Zunjie, high-end passenger vehicles, strengthening light commercial vehicles, and advancing internationalization; "8" refers to implementing eight key measures: technology-driven, brand building, marketing innovation, quality benchmarking, digital transformation, capital empowerment, deepening reform, and party building leadership.
Xiang Xingchu stated that on the path to high-end breakthroughs for Chinese brands, there are no lone heroes, only symbiotic evolution. JAC Motors is willing to work with industry peers to translate value reconstruction into every product and user experience, jointly driving Chinese brands upward.
