Changan Auto Bank Branch Officially Inaugurated

On September 22, Gasgoo Auto learned that the first exclusive branch of China Construction Bank named after "Changan Automobile"—Chongqing Changan Automobile Branch—was officially inaugurated, and a thirty-year exhibition of bank-enterprise cooperation was held concurrently.

This event marks a new stage of deep collaboration between the bank and enterprises, starting from the identity of a new central enterprise to jointly promote industrial upgrades; and with the establishment of a dedicated branch of China Construction Bank as a link, it further opens up new channels for financial services and the development of the automotive industry. Both parties stated that they will build on past achievements, focus on the future, and collaborate on “new automobiles, new ecology, and new services” to create a new chapter in cooperative development.

The deepening cooperation in the financial sector stems from Changan Automobile's recent strategic upgrade and comprehensive layout as a "new central state-owned enterprise." On July 29th this year, Changan Automobile was officially elevated to a first-tier central state-owned enterprise. The following day, it initiated an efficient personnel adjustment, reassigning the heads of its five major brands: Avita, Deep Blue, Gravity, Qiyuan, and Ford, demonstrating the decision-making and execution efficiency under the new system.

At the Fifth Science and Technology Ecology Conference on September 5th, Changan Automobile clarified its core direction at the technical strategy level. Chairman Zhu Huarong emphasized that Changan's approach to intelligence focuses solely on three things: safety, safety, and safety. He also officially launched the intelligent brand "New Changan · New Safety — Tianshu Intelligence."

The brand is dedicated to providing users with "extremely safe smart travel solutions." Its technological philosophy is based on "proactive intelligent safety, taking one step while looking ten steps ahead," with the ultimate goal of "zero accidents and zero fatalities." It has established a key core technology platform centered around "clear vision - agile brain - swift legs," primarily setting new safety benchmarks for intelligent travel in the fields of driving assistance, cockpit, and chassis.

In terms of market performance, Changan Automobile has recently shown strong sales momentum. In August, the company achieved sales of 230,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 25%. Cumulative sales from January to August reached 1.8 million units, a year-on-year increase of 6.4%, with cumulative sales of new energy vehicles reaching 620,000 units, a significant year-on-year increase of 55.9%.

The performance of the subsidiary new energy brands is particularly remarkable: Changan Qiyuan's sales in August reached 37,300 units, a year-on-year increase of 98%; Avita's sales in August exceeded 10,600 units, a year-on-year increase of 185%.

At the product level, new models are being launched in quick succession. As an important series, Changan Qiyuan has introduced the A06, the first strategic sedan since the establishment of the new central enterprise. This car is based on an 800V silicon carbide high-voltage platform, supports 6C fast charging, and can achieve a charging efficiency of "2 seconds per kilometer". Charging from 20% to 80% takes only 10 minutes.

Looking to the future, Changan Automobile is actively planning in the frontier industry fields, with plans to launch its first manned flying car in 2026 and achieve mass production by 2028. It also plans to achieve mass production of humanoid car robots by 2028 and gradually expand into the home service robot market after 2030.

In terms of globalization, the company is accelerating the "Embrace All Rivers" plan, with overseas available capacity expected to reach 460,000 vehicles by the end of 2025, continually promoting the transition from "product export" to "brand export" and "industry export."

In view of recent actions, from central state-owned enterprise restructuring and upgrading, personnel adjustments, senior management share increases, to technology brand releases, intensive new product launches, rapid sales growth, and the deepening of industry-finance integration through the establishment of a dedicated branch with China Construction Bank, Changan Automobile is showcasing a comprehensive strategic advancement and accelerated development as a "new central state-owned enterprise."
