At the conference, GAC Group officially released the ADiGO (Intelligent Driving Connected) ecosystem, which includes the ADiGO autonomous driving system and the ADiGO intelligent Internet of Things system. In the future, subsystems such as the ADiGO cloud platform and the ADiGO big data platform will also be launched one after another. It is an intelligent driving connected ecosystem led by GAC and supported by multiple strategic partners such as Tencent and Huawei. It is independently developed and integrates smart factory ecology, autonomous driving system, and Internet of Things system.

Among them, the ADiGO autonomous driving system has been released at this year's Shanghai Auto Show and has attracted widespread attention. At this conference, GAC Group launched the ADiGO intelligent Internet of Things system for the first time in the world. Based on the research and development principle of "foreknowledge, foresight and action first", the system can not only actively help users to make rational analysis, but also have a delicate insight into users' emotional needs, solve problems efficiently and intelligently, and give users a step ahead of others in technology enjoyment. It will form the intelligent dual core of GAC's intelligent connected cars with the ADiGO autonomous driving system, and become the smartest intelligent travel steward for users.

ADiGO (Intelligent Driving Interconnection) Ecosystem Architecture

The launch of the ADiGO (Intelligent Driving Connectivity) ecosystem brand by GAC Group aims to convey GAC's R&D level in the field of intelligent connected new energy and meet consumers' ever-changing needs for automotive products and travel methods. It is GAC's forward-looking thinking in the face of the historical opportunity of reconstructing the global automotive industry value chain. In the future, it will lead the development of GAC Group's intelligent connection and digitalization business. This system has important strategic significance for both GAC Group and the automotive industry:

At the strategic level, the system provides important support for GAC Group to achieve intelligence and strategic transformation into a mobile travel service provider, and takes a solid step forward in the exploration of "automobile + Internet".

On the technical level, the system represents GAC Group's forward-looking thinking on how intelligent connected technology can reshape the value chain of the automotive industry. It will lead the advancement of GAC Group's intelligent driving and connected technology, and will strongly promote the development of intelligent connected technology in the automotive industry.

In terms of user value creation, first of all, the system realizes the full connection of software and hardware for the first time, which is an epoch-making breakthrough compared with traditional hardware-integrated research and development. Secondly, the design of the new system is user-centric and scenario-based, which greatly improves the product experience. Thirdly, the new system will greatly enhance the stickiness between users and products and bring product value to a new level. Users can not only obtain a continuously improved and higher-quality product experience, but also build social channels with other car owners through the system, and truly experience the fun of mobile life value.

As a technological achievement of GAC Group in the 5G era, the ADiGO intelligent IoT system integrates world-class cutting-edge technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence. The system redefines the information framework based on user driving behavior and usage scenarios, making interactions more forward-looking and driving safer. The ADiGO intelligent IoT system will be equipped with core functions such as FACE ID, ADiGO E-plan, ADiGO Pilot augmented reality instrument, ADiGO Space intelligent immersive theater, intelligent AI partner, and ADiGO World ecological development game. The first car equipped with this system by GAC New Energy is the luxury smart supercar Aion LX, which will be officially put into production in September this year, bringing users a one-step-ahead intelligent mobile life experience. In the future, the ADiGO intelligent IoT system will also be installed on GAC Trumpchi's series of models.

July 28th is also the second anniversary of the establishment of GAC New Energy. After two years of development, GAC New Energy has become an important carrier for the implementation of GAC Group's intelligent networked new energy strategy. In recent years, GAC has continued to accelerate the research and development and application of intelligent networked vehicles. In terms of hardware investment, it has built the GAC Intelligent Networked New Energy Vehicle Industrial Park. The first phase of the 400,000-capacity project of GAC New Energy's intelligent ecological factory was completed in December 2018. In January this year, GAC Group and the Shaoguan Municipal Government reached a plan to build an open and comprehensive automobile test center featuring new energy, intelligent networked and unmanned driving tests in Xinfeng County, Shaoguan City. GAC Group and China Mobile have already carried out strategic cooperation and are jointly building a 5G-V2X-based autonomous driving vehicle demonstration park at the GAC Panyu base to carry out relevant technical tests. These measures will help GAC Group accelerate its efforts to seize the commanding heights in the field of intelligent networked new energy.

In terms of R&D, GAC has invested more than 21 billion yuan in independent R&D and has initially formed a global R&D network consisting of Guangzhou Headquarters + R&D centers in three locations in North America + Shanghai Advanced Design Studio. At the same time, GAC Group closely follows the trend of "electrification, intelligent connection, digitalization and sharing", and has carried out all-round R&D of key core technologies such as new energy, intelligent connection and unmanned driving, and has achieved phased results.

While insisting on internal collaborative innovation, GAC Group has also strengthened external cooperation to complement each other's strengths and achieve win-win cooperation. The results of GAC's cooperation with companies such as Tencent and Huawei have been gradually applied to GAC Trumpchi and GAC New Energy products and gradually introduced to the market.

On June 26, 2019, the mobile travel project Ruqi Travel, jointly created by GAC Group and its partners such as Tencent, Guangzhou Public Transport Group, and Didi Chuxing, was officially launched for trial operation. On the same day, GAC Group also signed a framework agreement with Didi Chuxing to deepen cooperation. Committed to transforming into a mobile travel service provider, GAC Group is accelerating its layout in the intelligent network business and plans to achieve comprehensive leadership in the field of intelligent network by 2025.

In June 2019, GAC's mobile travel project, Ruqi Travel, officially went online for trial operation.

GAC Group has always adhered to its positioning as a creator of mobile life value, taking intelligent connected new energy vehicles as a breakthrough point, seizing the commanding heights of the future automotive industry, and promoting the group's high-quality development to a new level.
