In the tide of global intelligent vehicle development, the control of core technologies has become the key to the competition of major car companies. The joint investment of Guangzhou Automobile Parts Co., Ltd. and Chongqing Changan Automobile Co., Ltd., Chenzhi Technology, a supplier of intelligent chassis-by-wire solutions, marks the strategic layout of the two automobile groups in the field of core components of intelligent vehicles, aiming to promote China's intelligent automobile industry chain to move towards the high-end.
Technological breakthroughs and market prospects
Chenzhi Technology is a leading supplier of intelligent chassis-by-wire solutions in China, focusing on key technologies such as steer-by-wire, brake-by-wire and suspension by wire. The strategic investment of GAC and Changan shows the recognition of the technical strength of Chenzhi Technology, and also shows the exploration of traditional car companies in the field of intelligent chassis. Through advanced algorithms and control technology, Chenzhi Technology has realized the deep integration of intelligent wire-controlled chassis and provided solid chassis technical support for autonomous driving.
According to the data, it is estimated that by 2025, the global wire-controlled chassis market will reach 175.7 billion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of 36%; By 2030, the market size will increase to 330.9 billion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of 23%. With the growth of market demand for intelligent chassis, GAC and Changan's investment in Chenzhi Technology is aimed at this vast market, in order to maintain a leading position in the future competition.
Industrial chain synergy and strategic layout
GAC Group announced that in order to strengthen the industrial chain coordination of key components such as intelligent wire-controlled chassis, GAC Parts Co., Ltd. will increase the capital of Chenzhi Technology by no more than 550 million yuan, holding 30% of the shares. This plan not only strengthens GAC's technical reserves in the field of intelligent auto parts, but also brings financial and resource support to Chenzhi Technology to ensure its technological development and market expansion in the intelligent drive-by-wire chassis market.

Changan Automobile said that the technological breakthrough of Chenzhi Technology is of great significance to the development of intelligent chassis. Changan Automobile has long been accumulating technology in intelligent networked vehicles, and this cooperation with GAC will promote the collaborative research and development of intelligent automotive parts and improve the technical level of the domestic intelligent networked vehicle industry.
Industry expert perspectives
Intelligence is not only reflected in the cockpit and automatic driving, but also the chassis and electronic control system are also the core of automotive intelligence. Zhang Yongwei, vice chairman of the China Electric Vehicle 100 Association, pointed out that the development of intelligent wire-controlled chassis, as the core technology of intelligent driving, is very important to the intelligence of future vehicles. The intelligent drive-by-wire chassis cancels the traditional mechanical transmission and uses electrical signals to achieve control, which responds to control instructions more quickly and accurately, providing a strong guarantee for the stability and safety of automatic driving.
In addition, the intelligent drive-by-wire chassis technology is highly scalable. With the increasing demand for chassis integration, the drive-by-wire system can more flexibly meet the diverse functional requirements of smart vehicles, and promote the development of vehicles in a smarter and safer direction.
Future outlook
The joint investment between GAC and Changan has not only brought capital and market support, but also promoted the rapid development of intelligent chassis-by-wire technology. This strategic cooperation marks the deep cultivation of China's automotive industry in the field of intelligent core components, and demonstrates the strong confidence of Chinese car companies in the future development of technology. With the maturity of intelligent wire-controlled chassis technology and the expansion of market demand, this technology is expected to achieve large-scale application in the next few years and become a key driving force for the development of the intelligent vehicle industry.
China's automotive industry is in a critical period of intelligent transformation, GAC and Changan through strategic investment in Chenzhi Technology, not only enhance their competitiveness in the field of intelligent auto parts, but also promote the collaborative innovation of the entire automotive industry chain. With the growth of market demand and continuous technological breakthroughs, the intelligent wire-controlled chassis is expected to provide strong support for the global intelligent automobile industry in the future and make important contributions to the influence of China's automobile industry in the global market.
