As an important traditional automobile production base in the country, in recent years, Chongqing has anchored the goal of building a trillion-level intelligent networked new energy automobile industry cluster. It has gathered 16 new energy vehicle enterprises to fully deploy various technical routes such as pure electric, plug-in, extended range, hydrogen fuel, and power exchange. A number of emerging brands have accelerated their rise, and a number of mid-to-high-end new energy models have been listed and sold well, which has strongly supported the development of industrial clusters. In 2023, Chongqing’s automobile production rose to the second place in the country, and the added value of the automobile industry increased by 9.3%. Among them, the output of new energy vehicles reached 500,000, and the mid-to-high-end new models such as the AITO series continued to sell well. Chongqing also continued to improve public charging facilities, etc., to ease consumers’ anxiety about "difficult and slow charging" and build a solid foundation for new energy vehicle consumption
It is understood that the first batch of M9 models delivered this time is the latest product jointly created by Cyrus Automobile and Huawei in three years. It has many product highlights such as changeable space, intelligent cockpit, intelligent driving control, intelligent driving, and intelligent security. It realizes the intelligent cockpit and high-level intelligent driving experience of multi-person, multi-screen and multi-device interaction. Since its launch in December 2023, the cumulative order has exceeded 40,000 units.
