Recently, the 2022 "China Automobile Engineering Society Science and Technology Award" selection ended in Beijing. Zhang Xiong, a leader in the technology research and development industry in Aian R&D VP, EV and ICV fields, won the "Outstanding Young Science and Technology Talent Award".
Chinese Society of Automotive Engineering (SAE-China) was established in 1963 and is a national and academic legal entity group voluntarily composed of Chinese automotive science and technology workers; it is an integral part of the China Association for Science and Technology. As the society's industry influence rapidly increases, the China Automobile Engineering Society Science and Technology Award has been called the highest and most professional award in the industry.
As an unbiased "new energy person", Zhang Xiong is a microcosm of Aian's R&D team. In 2007, after graduating from Tsinghua University, Zhang Xiong became an engineer at GAC Research Institute. At that time, the new energy vehicle industry was still blank. Along the way, Zhang Xiong deeply participated in GAC's breakthrough in the new energy field. To this day, Zhang Xiong still has the title of director of GA5 REV and GA3S PHEV. On December 1, 2021, under the leadership of Zhang Xiong, the R&D center team officially joined GAC Aion, focusing on the construction of Aion's core R&D capabilities and realizing the integration of research, production, sales and service.
Currently, the total number of R&D personnel of Aian R&D Center is more than 700, of which master's degree or above account for 50%, and more than 90% of the personnel are "post-80s" and are truly young and highly educated R&D teams. At the same time, the core talent of the team has reached a scale, with 131 leading talents in the research and development.
software development field, there are 1,838 software developers of Aion and upstream and downstream R&D teams, including 10 leading talents in the industry, 125 people have Internet experience such as Alibaba, Huawei, Baidu, etc., and more than 10 years of work experience account for 30%. plans to invest 100 billion, realizing full-stack independent development of TBOX, central computing unit domain controller, autonomous driving domain controller, and digital cockpit.
As one of the few domestic auto companies that have self-developed EV+ICV full stack, Aian's R&D team focuses on solving the pain points and difficulties in the industry, and has a series of pioneering leading scientific and technological achievements. In terms of EV, it has launched battery integration technologies such as magazine batteries, superspeed batteries and sponge silicon negative electrode batteries. It is the only technology in the industry to solve the three major pain points of safety, fast charging and long battery life, and has won the CCTV highest science and technology innovation award; in the field of ICV, Aion has achieved accelerated iteration and upgrading of over-visual summoning parking, urban NDA and smart cockpit technologies with leading technologies such as Xingling Electronics and Electrical Architecture, PASY OS, ADiGO SPACE, ADiGO PILOT, etc., bringing users a new technological experience.
