Good ecological protection can be regarded as Yunnan’s most precious resource and the most effective support for promoting Yunnan’s economic development. By implementing the development concept of “Green Mountains and Rivers are Gold and Silver Mountains”, Yunnan has made great efforts in green environmental protection in recent years. From the implementation of Yunnan Policy No. 45, it can be seen that Yunnan, based on its geographical and environmental advantages, will inevitably accelerate the development and promotion of the new energy vehicle industry that is environmentally friendly.
On the other hand, this will promote the overall accelerated development of the BAIC Kunming production base, and the selection of the Beijing EU7 new energy police car marks the opening of a new chapter in the era of new energy vehicles in Yunnan.
Playing the “Three Cards of Green”, BAIC Kunming Production Base Promotes New Green Development
In fact, as early as the end of 2016, BAIC (Kunming) project contract was signed and production line construction was started. In response, the Yunnan government proposed a proactive layout of the new energy vehicle industry and extended the green energy industry chain, striving to turn ecological resource advantages into Yunnan’s green development advantages by playing the “Three Cards of Green”.
The BAIC Kunming production base is now located in Yanglin Automobile Industry Park, Dianzhong New Area, mainly producing new energy passenger cars, mainly for taxi, ride-hailing, official, driving training, and other markets. In June 2020, the first batch of vehicles produced by the BAIC Kunming base, Beijing EU5 and Beijing EU7, were officially unveiled.
It is reported that the “Three Complete Vehicles and One Center” of Yanglin Automobile Industry Park in Dianzhong New Area has been completed. At the same time, the production base of BAIC Kunming has been put into production, and the transformation and upgrading of its four major process workshops have been completed and put into use. In addition to this, the BAIC Kunming production base also has the strength to produce many other BAIC new energy vehicle models, such as the EU300 battery swap version that can be swapped in 3 minutes. The production base can form an annual production scale of 50,000 new energy vehicles and is expected to achieve the goal of a production value breakthrough of 10 billion yuan by 2025.
The First Batch of Beijing EU7 New Energy Police Cars in Kunming City was Officially Delivered
As a local industry, the BAIC Kunming production base has also been invested in the rapid promotion of Yunnan’s new energy vehicle industry. On June 24, the first batch of Beijing EU7 new energy police cars in Kunming, “Guarding the Spring City and Traveling Greenly”, were officially delivered. This also marks the official service of new energy vehicles in Kunming’s police system, and there will be more added in the future.
# Yunan, the “Oxygen bar” of China, practices the eco-friendly initiative with new energy patrol cars
In China, Yunan has long enjoyed a reputation as the “Oxygen bar” due to its green environment. With the recent batch delivery of new energy patrol cars, the eco-friendly initiative of green travel in Yunan has been fulfilled. In addition, Kunming will soon welcome the COP15 conference in October of this year, where the Beijing EU7 new energy patrol cars will shoulder their responsibilities and missions.
Beijing EU7, the star model in government affairs
The Beijing EU7 new energy vehicle, selected for this purpose, was included in the “Central Government Agencies 2019-2020 Supply List of New Energy Pure Electric Vehicles”. Besides, it was employed as transportation for the National People’s Congress and the Chinese Political Consultative Conference in 2020-2021. Thus, it is undoubtedly a star model in the field of government affairs.
For the public security system, a certain range of endurance is necessary for daily police commuting and official duties. The Beijing EU7 new energy vehicle has a stable endurance of no less than 450 km and is equipped with intelligent electric control and intelligent biomimetic temperature control, which contributes to its stable range endurance.
After the storm comes the rainbow
In recent years, the new energy vehicles under the Beijing Automotive Group have been selected as official vehicles in various regions, indicating that they are gradually advancing in branding. Does the layout of official vehicles really stimulate the sales of civilian version vehicles? The answer is undoubtedly yes. From the current development of the market, the continuous and favorable development of the domestic new energy vehicle market is one factor, and the other is the fact that new energy vehicles under the Beijing Automotive Group are gradually moving towards official vehicles, representing a step towards reliability and durability that is gradually entering the public’s vision when purchasing cars.
Moreover, for the Yunnan market, the completion of the Beijing Automotive Group’s Kunming production base and the official delivery of the first batch of Beijing EU7 new energy patrol cars have indeed promoted the transformation of Yunnan’s automotive electrification. It will actively promote the supporting infrastructure of charging facilities in Kunming and the Dianzhong New Area and continue to optimize the use of new energy vehicles.
For the civilian version of Beijing EU7, it not only has a car length of 4805 mm, making its overall appearance very grand, but also has a long wheelbase of 2785 mm, providing the enjoyment of a cross-class spacious interior. In terms of the most critical electric vehicle power and range, the Beijing EU7 has a stable range of 451-550 km and is equipped with a self-developed permanent magnet synchronous motor. Its maximum power of 160 kW and maximum torque of 300 N·m achieve a powerful performance comparable to a 2.0T gasoline engine.
In terms of smart technology, Beijing EU7 also spares no effort. With the support of a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel and a 12.3-inch central control entertainment screen, intelligent AI voice system and OTA upgrade system are equipped. Together with the atmospheric interior design and various convenient configurations, the Beijing EU7 can be called a conscientious vehicle specially crafted for social elites.
In summary, when we look at the new energy vehicle models under BAIC Group, they not only have long range mileage, but also have many technological configurations and grand design. We believe that with the continued efforts of various measures, the road to civilizing new energy vehicles under BAIC Group will go further in the future.
Dolly Jun says:
Every Yunnan person hopes that one day they can drive Yunnan-made cars. Yunnan’s unique geographical location and pleasant climate make it extremely suitable for the development of pure electric vehicle models. With the completion of the BAIC Kunming production base and the delivery of police vehicles, it is believed that in the future, BAIC Group will continue to use the best products, the most cost-effective prices, and the best services to promote the growth of Yunnan’s automobile dreams, and effectively promote the development of Yunnan’s green energy industry, contributing to a green and low-carbon lifestyle.
