🚗 Promoting High-Quality Development with "New Quality": China Auto Research Injects New Momentum into the Development of New Quality Productive Forces with "Automobile Index"

The century-old traditional competitive landscape of the automotive industry is being reshaped by the unstoppable and deepening transformation of electrification, intelligence, connectivity, and low carbonization.

Now, driven by innovation, China's automotive industry is setting off a wave of high-quality development promoted by new quality productive forces. So, how can continuous technological innovation effectively land, and how can it bring users safer, smarter, greener, and lower-carbon automotive products? Authoritative, professional, comprehensive, and comprehensive product technology evaluation standards and systems are indispensable support. As a third-party institution in the industry, China Automotive Engineering Research Institute Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "China Auto Research") has been strengthening technological innovation and industrial chain integration for many years, gathering industry wisdom and strength, and creating a scientifically high, advanced, and widely covered China Auto Research Automobile Index Evaluation Procedure, injecting a unique "Automobile Index New Kinetic Energy" into the exploration and release of new quality productive forces and promoting high-quality industrial development.

Recently, the 2024 China Auto Research Automobile Index (IVISTA & C-AHI) Technical Committee Annual Meeting and the 2023 Edition Procedure Pioneer First Test Launch Conference hosted by China Auto Research was held in Beijing, with more than 200 leaders and experts from domestic and foreign automotive industry organizations, universities, enterprises, and research institutions attending the meeting. At the meeting site, China Auto Research released the "14th Five-Year" research results of the automotive index. At the same time, experts at the meeting also discussed and judged how the future automotive index will become an important tool for promoting "high quality" with "new quality".

🏆 **Multiple Industry-leading Research Results Unveiled**

🚀 **Continuous Release of New Kinetic Energy in the Automobile Index**

Under the background of conforming to the development trend of the industry and focusing on and meeting consumer needs, the China Auto Research Automobile Index has accumulated and harvested a lot in continuous innovation and improvement. More importantly, the achievements of the China Auto Research Automobile Index in multiple industry-leading research results have gradually formed a new kinetic energy to support the high-quality development of the automotive industry.

As **Zhou Yulin, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of China Auto Research** said at the meeting site: "China Auto Research gathers the wisdom and strength of the industry, aiming to jointly create a scientifically high, advanced, and widely covered automotive index evaluation procedure, to discuss and promote new ideas for the upgrade and development of China's automotive evaluation, and to jointly build a more open, prosperous, and sustainable new pattern of automotive industry development."

It is understood that multiple "14th Five-Year" research results of China Auto Research Automobile Index were also officially released at the meeting site. The release of the "14th Five-Year" research results is the crystallization of China Auto Research Automobile Index's many years of deep cultivation in automotive evaluation. Among them, the "Intelligent Safety Technology Roadmap (2024-2030)" is based on the safety risk evolution time chain during vehicle driving, and considers reducing the incidence rate of accidents before vehicle collision and reducing the casualty rate of personnel after collision, planning and researching from four dimensions of intelligent driving, assisted safety, passive safety, and emergency safety. The "Green Health Technology Roadmap (2024-2030)" focuses on building a comprehensive green travel environment, planning and researching from three dimensions of fresh air, health protection, and green travel. These two technology roadmaps will lead the medium and long-term development direction of China's automotive evaluation, promoting the intelligent and green upgrade of China's automotive industry.

The transformation of the automotive industry in terms of electrification, intelligence, and low carbonization is facing many challenges while facing opportunities. How to calmly deal with it is a topic that the whole industry cannot avoid. In order to effectively resolve common problems in the industry, the "14th Five-Year" research results also released three special evaluations that fill the industry's blank. At present, China's new energy vehicles maintain rapid development, and their performance in complex and extreme environments has become a hot topic of consumer concern. At the same time, establishing a set of standardized and scientific complex high-cold evaluation standards has become a common problem that the industry urgently needs to solve. Based on this, China Auto Research released the "Intelligent Connected New Energy Vehicle Complex High-cold Environment Test Evaluation Procedure (2024 Edition)", which actively responds to industry and social concerns, and develops and designs six major evaluation items from two dimensions of intelligent safety and efficient energy saving; in addition, the release of the "IVISTA Connected Intelligence and Privacy Security Special Evaluation Procedure (2023 Edition)" is the world's first procedure focusing on connected intelligent functions, network security, and privacy security evaluation, committed to guiding enterprises to improve their own security protection capacity construction, jointly protecting consumer privacy, and maintaining national network security; in addition, as a "14th Five-Year" research result of China Auto Research Automobile Index, the "China Commercial Vehicle Intelligent Safety Evaluation Framework" is China's first intelligent safety evaluation system for commercial vehicles, based on the safety risk time chain of commercial vehicle driving, and carries out evaluation research work from five aspects of driving safety, assisted safety, passive safety, emergency safety, and total life cycle economy (TCO). Subsequently, the evaluation procedure will be gradually improved under the guidance of the system framework. These three special evaluations will more fully and accurately meet consumers' increasing needs for automotive products in terms of intelligence, safety, green, and health, and continue to empower the technical upgrading of vehicle enterprises and the high-quality development of the automotive industry.
