CHONGQING, China, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A news report from Xinhua Silk Road:

From "leading in scale" to "quality-led transformative growth", the shift currently
affecting China’s auto industry was brought under the spotlight during the recent
2026 Automotive New Quality Productive Force Development Forum.

Organized by China Economic Information Service and China Certification & Inspection
Group, the event, held in Jiulongpo District of Chongqing, attracted a cohort of
business representatives from the auto manufacturing and intelligent driving sectors.

As electric vehicle output and intelligent driving burgeon domestically, transformative
growth instead of economy of scale remains a critical issue particularly for Chongqing,
a leading auto- and motorcycle-producing city on its way to becoming a high-end 
player in the global value chain.

Regarding industry pain points such as high intelligent driving penetration yet 
low user trust, He Gang, vice president of Changan Automobile, stressed the significance
of enhancing users’ sense of safety.

Via its all-weather dark-room laboratory and world models for smart driving, the
Chongqing-based company is improving driving stability under extreme conditions 
and enabling advance detection of hazardous obstacles to build a three-pronged safety
system.

He Liyang, president of Seres, outlined a set of principles centered on safety and
performance that the company has consistently upheld in its development, saying "
safety is the utmost luxury worth pursuing."

To reduce homogeneous competition, Cao Li, senior vice president of Leapmotor, highlighted
the importance of full-domain self-reliant research and manufacturing to navigate
industry cycles.

With more than 65 percent of core parts developed and made by itself, the company,
which owns 18 super factories, has built a closed-loop industrial cluster to keep
quality, cost, and iteration efficiency fully under control.

In the face of industry controversies over powertrain technology routes, Wu Jian,
a member of GAC Group’s strategy committee, said that traditional overseas powertrain
technology routes have limitations in terms of intelligent adaptation.

Powertrains with Chinese characteristics can only be developed by delving into technologies
that adapt to local scenarios and integrate well with vehicle intelligent systems,
noted Wu, adding that after 20 years of independent R&D, the company now boasts 
three powertrain technology series for range-extended, plug-in hybrid, and hybrid
electric vehicles.

As for "going global", Wu Yongqiao, president of Bosch’s intelligent driving and
control system division in China, said the company’s smart driving business is deeply
involved in local innovation while aligning with overseas laws and regulations to
facilitate the global expansion of Chinese auto companies.

To leverage technology for social good, Tang Guomei, deputy president of Sevnce 
Robotics, said the company focuses on resolving industry security dilemmas in special
scenarios.

Addressing industry dilemmas such as insufficient cognitive generalization and causal
reasoning in the evolution of intelligent driving systems, Yang Mu, CTO of Chongqing
Afari Technology, a Chongqing-headquartered smart driving business, said the company
is building a native intelligent driving base model by integrating large language
models with intelligent driving models to strengthen smart vehicles’ capabilities
in scene understanding, logical reasoning, and risk prediction.
