从弥补产品短板,到布局长线竞争。 文 丨 魏冰 编辑 丨 龚方毅 尽管去年车机端理想同学的战略优先级下降,但管理层对理想同学的整体规划是使其功能更强大、应 用更灵活。现在,理想汽车的 AI 战略落地,主要看两个产品:"理想同学" 怎么变,以及智能辅助驾 驶怎么跑。 理想汽车每年举办两次闭门战略会,讨论公司未来的战略方向与落地节奏。去年 10 月,理想在北京 雁栖湖凯宾斯基酒店举行秋季战略会,董事长李想、高管及各业务负责人共百余人参会。美团创始 人、理想汽车董事王兴也参与了此次会议。 会 后 理 想 调 整 了 AI 相 关 业 务 的 优 先 级 , 如 将 车 机 端 理 想 同 学 从 最 高 优 先 级 ( IP0 ) 降 至 最 低 (IP2),并再次强调智能辅助驾驶(当时内部仍称 "智能驾驶")业务的战略地位。手机端理想同学 的开发并未受影响。 根据一位接近理想人士的转述,王兴也在会上提出对理想同学的看法,大意是大模型与车机端理想同 学的结合,并不能真正发挥人工智能的潜力。 战略会结束的两个月后,理想汽车连续三天推出 "2024 理想 AI Talk",近半年没有公开露面的李想现 身, 系统分享了他 ...

减少整⻋企业和零部件企业之间的博弈。 文 丨 郭瑞婵 编辑 丨 龚方毅 上汽集团内部的整合行动延伸至旗下零部件体系。我们获悉,上汽正按照 "上车身" 与 "下车 身" 将零部件企业整合为两大主体,"上车身" 以延锋为主,"下车身" 则是筹备中的新底盘公 司。 据我们了解,具体的整合形式还没有完全定下来,可以明确的是整合行动围绕整零协同展开。 一位接近上汽的知情人士告诉我们,"上车身" 的范围囊括车身、内外饰与智能座舱,整合不一 定是以组织合并的形式,但一定会在项目沟通上做更密切的连接,超越普通的甲乙方关系。一 位延锋的员工也表示,"零部件这块整体合作",去年策划的项目已经在按照这个思路推进。 至于 "下车身",我们了解到,新底盘公司将由上海汇众、联创汽车电子及其子公司创时智驾、擎度科 技等整合而来。 针对以上信息,我们已向上汽集团进行求证,但截至发稿前未能获得确认。 新底盘公司的第一次曝光是在 4 月,当时有媒体报道称,上汽将整合旗下几家零部件子公司组建新的 智能底盘架构公司,并预计今年 6 月完成,新底盘公司的负责人为原上汽集团研发总院院长芦勇,他 上个月卸任研发总院院长一职,调往上海汇众。 - FIN - ...

宁德时代最大的短板是没有短板
晚点Auto· 2025-05-20 13:00
拔剑四顾心茫然。 编辑 丨 王姗姗 从代表中国制造产业先进生产力的维度,宁德时代是一个偶像级的企业。在资本市场上,中国的股民 称它为 "宁王",因为宁德时代几乎是第一个把资本市场炒作的概念变为现实的公司。 5 月 20 日,宁德时代在港交所挂牌完成二次上市,募资规模达到 353 亿港元(约合 45 亿美元)。宁 德时代股价盘中一度涨超 18% ,市值达 1.41 万亿港元,势头压过与它在 A 股市场一直被拿来 PK 的 比亚迪。 港股市场上一次目睹此等规模的 IPO 还是 2021 年上市的快手。从交表至挂牌,宁德仅用了三个月, 速度之快在近年港股 IPO 案例中非常少见。 在新能源汽车业内,宁德时代过往因 "霸道" 而不乏争议。客户都知道很难与宁德议价,电池供不应求 时,甚至需提前支付保证金才能提货,这令一些车企自嘲,造车是在给宁德时代 "打工"。车企集体陷 入价格战的当下,宁德时代也没有全面降价让利,反而继续认为只要能为客户提供最好的电池,就是 帮助对方卖好车、提升竞争力。 文 丨 李梓楠 制图 丨 黄帧昕 好公司往往有执念。宁德时代一直相信技术的力量并坚守制造业 "一分钱一分货" 的基本原则。秉承这 种 ...
