近日，大众汽车集团（中国）宣布，其专为中国市场研发的区域控制电子电气架构（CEA架构）已于2025年底如期交付。首款基于该架构的车型——大 众品牌ID.与众07，已在安徽工厂正式投产。此举标志着大众在中国市场迈入"软件定义汽车"的量产新阶段。 集团管理董事会主席奥博穆称，CEA架构的量产是"在中国，为中国"战略的关键里程碑，展示了集团将前沿技术高效推向市场的能力。大众汽车集团 （中国）董事长兼首席执行官贝瑞德指出，该架构实现了"中国速度"与"大众基因"的融合，为持续推出软件驱动创新的产品奠定了基础。 据悉，采用新架构及相应开发流程后，整车开发效率最高提升约30%，部分新车型开发成本最多可降低约50%，有助于集团更敏捷地响应中国本地市场 需求。 大众汽车集团表示，今年内，其在华三大合资企业将陆续推出共五款搭载CEA架构的新车型，涵盖纯电、混合动力及燃油等多种动力类型。大众也由此 成为业内首家将区域电子架构规模化应用于多车型、全动力类型的整车制造商。 随着CEA架构的落地，大众汽车在华智能化进程全面提速。2026年，大众汽车集团计划在中国推出超过20款新能源车型，持续深化其向软件与AI驱动 的智能出行转型。 据介 ...

由工业和信息化部组织制定的强制性国家标准《汽车转向系 基本要求》（GB17675-2025）（以下简称"新国标"），已 由国家市场监督管理总局、国家标准化管理委员会批准发布，并将于2026年7月1日起正式实施。 "新国标的修订主要体现为两方面，一是新增线控转向系统的失效降级要求、报警要求、功能安全要求，为线控转向划定清 晰的安全边界；二是修订传统转向系统及辅助转向装置的功能安全要求，进一步引导转向技术迭代进步。"戎辉对记者表 示，"线控转向并非全新概念，2021年的修订已对其做出定义，但受限于当时技术成熟度，量产应用一直存在瓶颈。这一结 构型式取消了传统转向柱的刚性连接，必须依靠供电、通信、软件与硬件等多方面的冗余设计来保障安全。因此，本次修订 与其说是删除了转向机构机械连接的强制要求，不如说是基于我国汽车电动化、智能化的技术迭代节奏，系统性新增并完善 了线控转向的安全要求，保障安全应用。"在他看来，这一步确实是全线控转向商业化的关键一步，解决了技术能否合法落 地的问题，但并非决定性一步。技术商业化的最终实现，根本还是取决于行业技术的持续迭代与成熟；而标准的修订完善， 正是通过为技术创新拓宽发展空间、为产业升 ...
