At the 2026 Beijing Auto Show, China’s Changan Automobile Group unveiled the “Hai Na Bai Chuan” Plan 2.0. The core transformation of this version is the upgrade of globalization from “product export” to “systematic expansion,” with a clarified goal to achieve overseas sales of 1.5 million units by 2030.
Compared to the initial proposal of the “Hai Na Bai Chuan” Plan in 2023, Changan’s overseas foundation has now taken shape. According to official data, it has established 22 overseas manufacturing bases covering 118 countries and regions, with over 1,100 sales outlets, and has launched 41 overseas models. By 2025, Changan’s overseas sales reached 637,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 18.9%.
Based on this, Changan further proposed four principles of global development: Long-term, Localization, Systematic, and ESG Integration. This means its global layout is no longer just about export trade, but extends to full chain capabilities in manufacturing, investment, services, and local ecosystem construction.
Specifically, “Hai Na Bai Chuan” 2.0 proposes upgrades in seven directions, including Technology, Product, Brand, Cooperation, Investment, Service, and Team.
On the technology front, Changan continues to strengthen its R&D capabilities, focusing on smart safety and energy efficiency. The “Tianshu Smart” system encompasses driving assistance, cabin, and chassis, proposing to elevate tire blowout stability control to a higher standard, with future plans to achieve a base configuration allowing 150km/h stability during a blowout.
In terms of power systems, the Blue Whale iDD Hybrid takes center stage in this release. Based on the iDE-H hybrid architecture, using high-pressure direct injection, efficient three-electric systems, and AI energy management, Changan aims to balance fuel consumption, power, and quietness, defining it as “China’s Global Hybrid Solution.”
On the product side, Changan’s development logic also shifts from previous “Global Synchronized Development” to “Global Native + Regional Customization,” aiming to create more scalable global models. At this auto show, the Eado Blue Whale iDD version and CS75 PLUS Blue Whale iDD version were launched simultaneously, priced between 79,900 – 94,900 yuan and 109,900 – 134,900 yuan, respectively.
Meanwhile, Changan is strengthening global service and localization capabilities, proposing principles such as “No spare parts, no sales” and “No service, no overseas,” and plans to expand its overseas team to 4,600 people within three years, with local employees accounting for over 70%.
Overall, the core of “Hai Na Bai Chuan” 2.0 is not just about enhancing sales targets but transforming the globalization path—from single-point breakthroughs to systematic capability export.
As China’s automotive industry accelerates its global expansion, this comprehensive spillover from technology and product to service systems might become…The key to the next stage of competition.
