Today, Nanjing is seizing the development opportunities of the intelligent connected new energy vehicle industry. Fang Haiyan, deputy director of the Nanjing Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, introduced the development of Nanjing’s intelligent connected vehicle industry from five aspects: industrial scale, pilot construction of “vehicle-road-cloud integration”, aggregation of major innovation platforms, road testing and demonstration applications, and creation of demonstration scenarios. She said that Nanjing has a solid foundation for the development of intelligent connected vehicles in terms of policies, technologies, industries and talents. As an international, professional and high-end exchange platform, the China-Germany Intelligent Connected Vehicle Industry Synergistic Development Forum will inject new vitality and opportunities into the development of Nanjing’s intelligent connected new energy vehicle industry.
At the meeting, Shenyang, the deputy general manager of Nanjing Transportation Construction Investment Holding (Group) Co., LTD., released the characteristic scenarios of the integration of vehicles, roads and clouds in Nanjing. As the “chain leader enterprise” of intelligent connected vehicles in the city, the Municipal Transportation Group, driven by application scenarios, closely collaborates with local leading enterprises and industry leaders to explore the commercialization path of integrated vehicle-road-cloud application scenarios, and focuses on promoting the intelligent connected vehicle industry to move from concept to practice and from exploration to maturity. At present, the group is working hand in hand with various departments and sectors of the city to focus on scene construction and coordinated development. They have formulated a detailed plan for creating application scenarios in the 1.0 stage of the city. Through strengthening top-level design, establishing coordination mechanisms, and promoting construction in a classified manner, they have drawn up a scene deployment map covering an area of 367 square kilometers for the 1.0 stage of Nanjing City. Up to now, the city has completed the construction of 15 application scenarios, achieving multi-point coverage in multiple fields such as smart public transportation, smart sanitation, smart logistics, smart inspection, smart parking, and smart travel. Next, the Municipal transportation group will take the 6.03-square-kilometer area of Nanjing South Railway Station as a pilot project, plan and implement the construction of 14 scenarios in 3 major categories, and focus on cultivating characteristic applications such as air-ground collaborative smart city governance, air-land intermodal smart connection, air-ground heterogeneous multi-node unmanned logistics, and open AVP parking, to comprehensively enhance the intelligence and networking level of regional transportation. Reshape the urban travel experience in the South Station Hub area. Andes, Vice President of Business Development and Project Management of BMW China; Tan Minqiang, Party Secretary of China Automotive Innovation Technology Co., LTD.; Wu Hanbing, Deputy Director of Intelligent Connected Vehicle Department of China Automotive Standards Research Institute; Jiang Wei, Director of National Intelligent Connected Vehicle Quality Inspection and Testing Center (Hunan); Hanno Focken, Managing Director of Catena-X Association Keynote speeches will be delivered on the directions of cooperative development, technological innovation, standards and regulations, inspection and testing, and data space empowerment in the field of intelligent connected vehicles. The forum lasted for one day. Over 150 people from government departments, industry associations, research institutions, and enterprises from both China and Germany participated in this event. The guests exchanged and shared their views on the hot topics and cutting-edge explorations in the intelligent connected vehicle industry from their own perspectives, actively promoting the deepening and solidification of Sino-German cooperation.
