Xpeng recently hosted its 2024 AI Day event in Guangzhou, unveiling a range of technological advancements. The event, an upgraded version of its previous Tech Day, featured the introduction of the Kunpeng Super Electric System, an extended-range hybrid system that boasts a combined range of up to 1,400 kilometers and a battery range of up to 430 kilometers.
This groundbreaking system, equipped with a battery pack supporting 5 C fast charging, addresses drivers’ range concerns and sets a new industry standard. Xpeng’s focus on climate and infrastructure conditions led to the development of this cutting-edge extended-range system, ensuring fast and efficient charging capabilities.
In addition to the Kunpeng system, Xpeng showcased its Turing AI chip, the world’s first chip designed for AI cars, robots, and flying cars. With a 40-core processor supporting large AI models with up to 30 billion parameters, the chip represents a significant advancement in smart driving technology. Xpeng’s commitment to high computing power on the vehicle side led to the development of the Turing chip, which has already been validated for smart driving features.
The company also introduced the Canghai Platform, an AI auto neural system tailored for L4 autonomous driving scenarios. With increased communication bandwidth, faster camera image output, and reduced power consumption, the Canghai Platform will play a crucial role in Xpeng’s Ultra series models and future robotaxi projects.
Furthermore, Xpeng’s flying car subsidiary, Xpeng Aeroht, announced the upcoming debut of its modular flying car at the China Airshow, with pre-sales set to begin in December. The modular flying car, part of Aeroht’s development path, features an eVTOL design and hybrid power options, offering a maximum air range of 500 kilometers and a speed of 360 km/h.
Additionally, Xpeng unveiled Iron, a humanoid robot powered by the Turing AI chip, capable of simulating human movements and cognitive functions. With applications in factories, sales stores, offices, and homes, Iron represents Xpeng’s foray into robotics and AI integration.
As Xpeng continues to expand its international presence, with plans to establish 145 overseas after-sales service outlets and launch the P7+ electric sedan equipped with the Turing AI intelligent driving system, the company remains at the forefront of innovation in the automotive industry. The 2024 AI Day event showcased Xpeng’s commitment to technological advancement and its vision for the future of smart mobility.
