Where is the focus of Xiaopeng Motors?
★
Recently, the news that Xiaopeng Motors has obtained about 600 million to 700 million US dollars of new financing has spread like wildfire. Although the official has not responded positively, the fact that Xiaopeng Motors has made a lot of financing this year is certain.
At the beginning of April, Xiaopeng Motors founder He Xiaopeng revealed to the media that future financing will be used in three directions, one of which is the construction of production bases and cooperation with suppliers. In recent months, Xiaopeng Motors has signed contracts with a number of well-known suppliers to establish a new direction for future replacement products.
In terms of advanced technology, Xiaopeng chooses a large number of international excellent suppliers. Signed a contract with BASF to jointly develop high-performance materials for electric technology, including high-performance materials for battery modules, drive modules, electronic control modules, and autonomous driving modules. In terms of autonomous driving, Xpeng Motors cooperated with Desay SV , which was listed on the A-share market at the end of last year, and Xpeng Motors became the first company in China to book the latest autonomous driving model of Desay SV.The host factory of the domain controller.

Its main goal is to pave the way for the first model to gradually improve the sales network and provide Xpeng's next-generation models are ready to go on the road. The
market pays more attention to Xiaopeng Motors in addition to its financing route and R&D system, but more on the appearance of the product, practical technology, and comfortable configuration, but there is still no conclusion about the manufacturing and driving quality of the vehicle. .
This time, Xpeng Motors chose the "torsion beam assembly" and "front subframe assembly" products provided by Wanan Technology to help Wanan Technology's transformation and development. At the same time, Wanan Technology, a traditional auto parts company, can Help Xiaopeng Motors effectively reduce R&D and production costs, which is in line with Xiaopeng Motors' market positioning, but the future of Xiaopeng's cooperation with suppliers is still unknown until Xiaopeng Motors delivers products to the market in batches.
