At present, around the new trend of transformation of “electrification, networking, intelligence and sharing”, many car companies are actively laying out new tracks and accelerating towards a new era of green intelligence. Behind the transformation and upgrading of the automotive industry, Siemens continues to contribute scientific and technological strength.

Xiao Song, chairman, president and CEO of Siemens China, said that the automobile industry is one of the pillar industries of the Chinese economy, which plays an important role in boosting consumption and stabilizing the economic market, and is also a key starting point for China to develop the digital economy and achieve the goal of “double carbon”. With digital and low-carbon “two-wheel drive”, combined with deep industry knowledge and experience, we will continue to cooperate with automotive companies in depth, expand new opportunities, shape new advantages, and accelerate the high-quality development of the industry.
Dr. Xiao Song and Xiaopeng He, Chairman and CEO of Xiaopeng Automobile, witnessed the signing of the cooperation agreement, opening a new chapter of mutually beneficial cooperation.
At the auto show, Dr. Xiao Song witnessed the signing of the strategic cooperation agreement between Siemens and Xiaopeng Automobile. The two parties will rely on Siemens’ innovative technology and industry insights in the fields of industrial digitalization, smart parks, smart energy and green and low-carbon development to help XOPeng Automobile actively explore a new model of future-oriented smart manufacturing. Dr. Xiao Song discussed the cooperation plan with Yin Tongyue, Chairman of Chery Holding Group.
Chery is full of international style at this Shanghai Auto Show, fully displaying 14 new energy vehicles from its four major brands. Siemens and Chery have been cooperating for nearly 20 years, and the two sides are actively deepening long-term cooperation in the fields of digital research and development, manufacturing, integrated energy management, green and low-carbon development.
