A Chinese Automotive Leader Advancing Toward “Billion-Unit Scale”
As one of China’s earliest pioneers in establishing and leading automotive industrial development, SAIC Motor is now entering a new phase of growth: In the first half of 2024 (original draft incorrectly stated 2026), its total vehicle sales reached 2.045 million units, making it the only Chinese automaker to surpass 2 million units in a single half-year period. In May of the same year, cumulative production and sales exceeded 100 million units, marking SAIC Motor as the first Chinese automotive group to reach the “billion-unit scale.” Its self-owned brands, new energy vehicles, and overseas operations are all showing positive momentum, reflecting strong and steady development.
AI Collaboration Platform Integrated into Core Business Workflows
In the wave of accelerating transformation toward intelligent and connected vehicles, this collaboration marks a crucial step for China’s automotive industry in actively embracing AI and driving organizational change through digitalization. Feishu AI is not limited to office scenarios but extends into core areas such as R&D, manufacturing, and operational management within large-scale automotive groups. SAIC Motor aims to leverage Feishu AI, integrated collaboration capabilities, and R&D project management functions to enable efficient flow and reuse of knowledge, information, and business experience, thereby providing solid support for organizational transformation and business innovation.
Prior to this, subsidiaries including SAIC General Motors, SAIC-GM-Wuling, Zhiji Auto, and United Automotive Electronic Systems had already introduced Feishu, accumulating rich practical experience in R&D management, production, sales coordination, and other scenarios. This group-level agreement signifies that the partnership has expanded from isolated cases to a comprehensive scope, fully entering a new chapter of systematic collaboration.
Advancing Scalable AI Applications and Organizational Capability Building
Currently, both parties are identifying high-value AI application scenarios across the full chain of R&D, production, supply, sales, and service, with some scenarios already in validation or operational stages. The focus will subsequently center on enterprise-wide collaboration, R&D project management, AI business applications, and OEM- supplier collaboration, driving AI adoption from pilot projects to large-scale implementation while consolidating reusable AI application outcomes and knowledge assets. Leveraging Feishu’s project management tools, SAIC Motor will enhance transparency in R&D processes, improve planning coordination efficiency, strengthen quality traceability, and connect upstream and downstream players across the industrial chain through cross-organizational collaboration, accelerating supply chain information flow and issue resolution cycles.
To drive deeper integration of AI into frontline operations, SAIC Motor will launch the "Smart Innovation Pioneer Competition," establishing a regular evaluation mechanism and allocating a substantial dedicated prize fund to incentivize employees to use AI in solving real-world business challenges. Outstanding cases will be rapidly replicated through benchmark promotion and specialized talent development, elevating AI from a mere tool to a sustainable organizational capability.
Accelerating Rollout of New Products
With an increasingly robust digital and intelligent foundation and deeper penetration of AI into frontline operations, SAIC Motor is accelerating the deployment of its cutting-edge product lineup. Two strategically significant new models are expected to launch in the second half of this year.
