GAC Launches Trumpchi Concept 1, First Collaboration with Huawei

GAC launched the Trumpchi Concept 1 in September 2024, an almost production-ready sedan that marks the first model developed in collaboration with Huawei. This model is the first of three new vehicles, with the next two being an SUV and a multi-purpose vehicle.

The design of this model was first introduced in May 2024. At the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, GAC Trumpchi announced a joint plan with Huawei to launch models equipped with the Huawei Qiankun ADS 3.0 intelligent driving system and the latest generation of HarmonyOS driving cabin system.

According to previously released information, the production version of this vehicle is expected to be launched in the first quarter of 2025. The model features a wheelbase of 3000 mm and an overall length of 5128 mm, along with 21-inch wheels. It employs the third generation design language known as Hidden Edge in Run. At the front, there is a closed grille, and the logo is illuminated. LED daytime running lights wrap around the logo extending to the frameless doors. The rear also features tail lights.

The vehicle will come with a driving cabin powered by Harmony OS. Additionally, it will utilize Huawei's Qiankun ADS 3.0 system, equipped with a rooftop Lidar, indicating that the vehicle will employ the highest version of the Qiankun system. It will also feature extreme range-boosting technology. Utilizing artificial intelligence, this vehicle aims to solve the issues of frequent engine start-stop and high fuel consumption, resulting in a 30% improvement in the NVH system, a 15% reduction in fuel consumption, and a 12% increase in electric range.

The vehicle claims to utilize an all-wheel drive system distributed across three motors. It will use an optimized 56 kWh battery featuring 5C charging and an 800-volt platform, with an electric range exceeding 300 kilometers.
