FAW Group Drives Green Transformation and Digital Intelligence Reform

en.Wedoany.com Reported - On July 13, 1956, the first Jiefang truck rolled off the assembly line, ending China's history of being unable to manufacture automobiles. From 1956 to 2026, from Jiefang trucks to Hongqi sedans, from traditional fuel vehicles to new energy vehicles, and from traditional craftsmanship to intelligent robot collaboration, FAW Group is advancing reforms across multiple dimensions.

In terms of green and low-carbon transformation, FAW Group has taken green development as its transformation direction, promoting comprehensive green transformation across all areas. Multiple new energy vehicle plants and key projects have been completed and put into operation, with some factories being included in the national list of green factories. Through measures such as applying renewable energy and promoting recycling, energy utilization efficiency has improved, and carbon emission intensity has decreased.

Under the trends of electrification, intelligence, and connectivity, FAW Group is advancing its new energy strategy and increasing efforts in vehicle product development. Its new energy products include models such as the Hongqi E-QM5, Hongqi EH7, Hongqi Tiangang 08, FAW Yueyi 08, FAW-Volkswagen ID. AURA T6, FAW Audi Q6L e-tron, and FAW Toyota bZ5. The company has also established a carbon footprint monitoring system covering the entire product lifecycle, forming a closed-loop ecosystem from green factories and green supply chains to the cascading utilization of power batteries.

In terms of digital intelligence empowerment, FAW Group is driving transformation with data as the core and artificial intelligence as the lever. The company has independently developed the "FAW Qixing Cloud Workstation," achieving 100% online operation of core businesses with over 20,000 employees collaborating online. It has also developed the enterprise-level intelligent agent OpenMind, with 20 digital employees now operational, resulting in a 50% reduction in R&D lead time, a 40% reduction in manufacturing costs, a 42% increase in sales conversion rate, and a 60% reduction in manual approval nodes.

In cultivating new business formats, FAW Group has invested in Zhuoyu Technology to participate in building the autonomous driving ecosystem; taken a controlling stake in Zhongqi Xinneng to establish a central enterprise power battery industrialization platform; and founded Qixin Power to provide powertrain solutions. The company has also developed the "Hongqi" brand's Lingxi cockpit and intelligent chassis, and mastered full-chain new energy technologies including batteries and electric drives. In the field of three-dimensional transportation equipment, the Hongqi "Tiannian 1" flying car has completed its maiden flight. In the frontier manufacturing sector, a self-developed embodied intelligent robot is planned to be deployed at the Hongqi smart factory within the year.
