Chairman of Changan Automobile Shares Insights at 2024 China Auto Chongqing Forum

TapTechNews, June 6 - During the opening of the 2024 China Auto Chongqing Forum today, Zhu Huarong, the chairman of Changan Automobile, shared his views. He stated that the current new trends and changes in the automotive industry can be summarized as new, intelligent, cooperative, and competitive.

Zhu Huarong believes that new refers to the new atmosphere of industrial development in the new era, involving the definitions and changes of new car + new ecosystem + new luxury; intelligent refers to new future enabled by high-tech digital; cooperative refers to new cooperation for win-win development in globalization; competitive means new competition, and the industry competes to a new height. These are the practices and explorations of various major automakers in the non-steady state period.

When Zhu Huarong talked about competitive, he mentioned that recently four old men in the industry (TapTechNews note: also including Li Shufu, the chairman of Geely Holding, Wei Jianjun, the chairman of Great Wall Motors, and Yin Tongyue, the chairman of Chery Automobile) have started to do live-streaming with goods. Last night, I reported to the other three 'old men' and said that I was going to talk about the four of us today. Would you allow your portrait rights? Several said yes, no problem. How do I view this issue? I'm an optimist. I think 'competitive' is a process of good currency driving out bad currency. Competition itself means the pursuit of excellence, which will result in a new height of Chinese brands and maximize the benefits of users, truly creating value for users. I believe that in the next ten years, there will definitely be more Chinese brands evolving into world-class brands.
