On November 14, at the Changan Automobile Brand Day, Changan released the Ark architecture for the first time. The UNI-T, which has been launched, is the first model based on this architecture. As a new car-making concept in Changan Automobile's R&D 4.0 era, the Ark architecture will cover all models from A0 to C-class, and is similar to the CMA architecture of independent brand Geely. At the same time, Zhu Huarong, chairman of Changan Automobile, said on the spot: "105 models will be launched in the next five years, including 23 new energy vehicles."
The Ark architecture empowers the body and chassis with intelligence and big data Iterative evolution of the vehicle's basic performance, integrating high-end autonomous driving front-end layout, smart growth electronic and electrical architecture, and continuously improving basic modular platform. The next generation product has a more compact powertrain, a more reasonable layout, and a center of gravity lowered by 20-65mm, giving users a wider front view with a minimum improvement of 9, and a flexible human-machine layout to meet the rationalization of internal space of different body types.
In terms of power, all new generation products under the Ark architecture are equipped with Blue Whale, which shortens the 0-100km/h acceleration time by up to 24%. This architecture is compatible with 8 engine states, covering 1.2-2.0L displacement engines, and is compatible with 3 types of electrified power: 48V mild hybrid, gasoline-electric hybrid, and plug-in hybrid. It is matched with 8 types of transmission modules and has 16 power combination modes.
In terms of autonomous driving, the core layout of Ark architecture reserves 36 sensors (6 millimeter wave radars, 13 cameras, 5 lidar, 12 ultrasonic radars), high-precision maps and positioning, 5G- V2X module, 2 high computing power domain controllers, redundant braking, redundant steering and redundant power supply, Changan Automobile can achieve mass production of L3 conditional autonomous driving at this stage, and can support more autonomous driving in the future Driving scenarios and higher levels of autonomous driving.
In terms of full-scenario smart cars, Changan has cooperated with Tencent, Huawei, etc., and has connected more than 20 members of the "Beidou Tianshu" alliance to create a Changan smart car cloud platform that can provide users with in-car WeChat, AI smart assistant, digital key, cloud photo album, super ID and other services can be iteratively upgraded through OTA.
