Frontline | SAIC Motor collaborates with numerous cross - industry partners to jointly build a new industrial ecosystem, aiming to "understand cars and, more importantly, understand you".
On April 10, 2025, the "Understand Cars, Understand You Better · 2025 SAIC Night" was officially held at the SAIC Roewe · Shanghai Children's Art Theatre on the banks of the Huangpu River. This event showcased the multi - faceted innovation achievements and future strategic layouts of SAIC Group's cooperation with numerous cross - border partners.
Wang Xiaoqiu's speech
Wang Xiaoqiu, the Party Secretary and Chairman of Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (Group) Co., Ltd., stated that through "two - pronged approaches", SAIC aims to "advance" towards "perfection". On one hand, continue to co - create with long - standing joint - venture partners such as Volkswagen and General Motors. Meanwhile, collaborate with cross - border partners like Huawei, Momenta, Horizon Robotics, and ByteDance to build a new industrial ecosystem, enabling the rapid implementation and application of global top - notch technologies to empower better mobility. On the other hand, continue to accompany users, starting from understanding users and returning to serving users, aiming to "understand cars and users better" and strive to meet and continuously exceed users' expectations.
SAIC Group and Volkswagen Group signed an agreement to extend their joint - venture in Shanghai, breaking the traditional "technology introduction" model and moving towards the 2.0 era of joint - ventures featuring "technology feedback". SAIC Group also joined hands with top - tier technology giants, including Horizon Robotics, Momenta, Huawei, OPPO, Volcengine, Alibaba, and DJI, for long - term and in - depth strategic cooperation, creating a new 1.0 ecosystem for cross - border cooperation.
The scene of "SAIC Night"
Momenta is a globally leading autonomous driving company, and SAIC is Momenta's largest external shareholder. The two parties further deepened their strategic cooperation, aiming at the global top - level standard to jointly create a "Chinese solution" for autonomous driving. Through the "flywheel" technology insights of "mass - production data", "data - driven algorithms", and "closed - loop automation", a "two - pronged" product strategy combining mass - production autonomous driving (Mpilot) and fully autonomous driving (MSD) was derived. The synergy between the two will reduce the cost of large - scale autonomous driving by orders of magnitude and achieve the large - scale implementation of autonomous driving more quickly and efficiently.
In 2020, the Joint Laboratory of SAIC Group and Horizon Robotics in Artificial Intelligence was established, which will cooperate in the field of intelligent connected vehicle technology, jointly research and develop artificial intelligence technology, and create intelligent connected vehicle terminal applications with SAIC Group's brand characteristics. Horizon Robotics can currently create integrated driving and parking products and solutions based on the Journey® 3 and Journey® 5 mass - production chip platforms. It openly supports a variety of functions such as HWA Highway Assisted Driving, NOA High - speed Navigation Assisted Driving, APA Intelligent Parking Assist, and VPA Memory Parking, fully meeting the different computing power requirements from basic to high - level integrated driving and parking.
In 2025, SAIC Group and OPPO signed an agreement to deepen their strategic cooperation. On the basis of being the first to achieve "software interoperability and ecological integration" between in - vehicle systems and mobile phones, they will further connect a series of scenarios such as home, travel, and office, creating a brand - new intelligent life experience that is continuous, user - centric, open, and flexible for users in the global market. Actively representing Chinese manufacturing, they aim to create a "new calling card for going global". In the future, the vehicle - phone integration products of SAIC and OPPO will be fully implemented in SAIC's self - owned and joint - venture brand models; the cooperation will expand from vehicle - phone cooperation to IOT ecosystem cooperation, including but not limited to watches, tablets, and headphones. The cooperation between the two parties will gradually expand from the Chinese market to the global market, including but not limited to Europe, Southeast Asia, India, South America, and the Middle East.
On February 21, 2025, SAIC Group and Huawei Terminal Co., Ltd. signed a deep - cooperation agreement in Shanghai. In the future, the two parties will carry out strategic cooperation in areas such as product definition, production and manufacturing, supply - chain management, sales and service, achieving technology symbiosis, ecological co - creation, and value resonance. They will jointly provide sustainable innovation impetus for the high - quality development of the industry and bring users a safer, smarter, and more convenient new travel experience.
Wang Xiaoqiu, the Party Secretary and Chairman of Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (Group) Co., Ltd., stated that the legend of SAIC Group will never end, and SAIC people are always on the way. This event fully demonstrated SAIC Group's new - era vision, showing that SAIC Group innovates in cooperation, breaks through itself, and leads the industry forward.
