As a brand-new model, Passat Pro has made many adjustments in appearance, but it still retains the double front face design for consumers to choose from. The two models we selected this time are both Star Edition. First of all, the most obvious change in the front of the car is that the new model cancels the front grille on the old model and replaces it with a huge black front surround below, highlighting the sense of fashion. At the same time, it is also equipped with a similar through-type light group and the LOGO supports lighting, which has higher recognition.

The external configuration of the new model is not much different from that of the old model, but it only adds optional opportunities. For example, sports style kit, Bluetooth key and remote start function can be selected by consumers as needed.

In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new model are increased by 58mm, 14mm and 20mm, which is larger than that of the old model, but the wheelbase of both models is 2871 mm. In terms of rim style, the new model adopts a 19-inch blackened five-spoke rim, while the old model adopts an 18-inch cyclone rim. The former is simpler, more fashionable and has outstanding visual effects. The latter pays more attention to sports and has its own characteristics.

The most obvious change in the rear of the car is that the rear enclosure of the new model is decorated with diamonds, and the exhaust decoration with two sides at the rear is cancelled. The taillights support six kinds of welcome animation lighting effects, which is more ceremonial. At the same time, the new model cancels the 380TSI logo on the old model and replaces it with the black "Pro" English letter, highlighting its special identity.

Interior: Simple design is more scientific and technological.

The interior of the new model adopts a simpler design, and the physical buttons on the old model are cancelled. The functional operation can be realized by waking up the voice assistant or manipulating the central control panel. At the same time, the all-LCD instrument panel and central control panel have also been replaced by suspended design from the previous embedded ones, and a new passenger entertainment screen has been added, which has created a sense of science and technology in the car. In addition, the new model adopts the rotary electronic gear shifting structure. Compared with the mechanical gear shifting structure of the old model, it has the advantages of more convenient operation and more storage space for the center console area.

In addition to the younger and more fashionable interior, the internal configuration of the new model has also been upgraded, adding a lot of popular configurations. Such as dual-zone voice wake-up recognition, visible-to-talk, second-row seat backrest adjustment, fragrance device in the car, etc., to improve the convenience of the car. At the same time, on the basis of the old model, ventilation, massage and headrest speaker functions are added to the second row seats of the new model, and the indoor ambient light is upgraded to 30 colors, further improving the comfort experience.

Power: the previous generation powertrain is used.

The power systems of the two comparison models are consistent, and both adopt the combination of 2.0T engine and 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox. Among them, the maximum power of the engine is 162kW and the maximum torque is 350 N m. However, the WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption of the new model is slightly lower than that of the old model.

Space: performance is quite satisfactory.

Although the wheelbase of the new and old models remains the same, the former has been improved in terms of length, width and height, so there is no need to worry about the interior space, which is enough for daily travel. In addition, because the new model adopts the gear shifting mode, the position of the original gear shifting mechanism frees up more storage space, which is very practical.

In terms of trunk, the new and old models are consistent in opening shape and internal design, and are equipped with front/rear central handrails, etc. The overall performance is at the mainstream level of the same level, which can meet daily use.

Safety: greatly upgrade and protect every trip.

In terms of passive safety configuration, the new model has added the front middle airbag, DOW door opening warning, built-in driving recorder and road rescue call, which is improved compared with the old model. In addition, in terms of driver assistance configuration, the new model has been fully evolved, with the addition of front sensing cameras (monocular and binocular) and 12 ultrasonic radars, so that its assisted driving level reaches L2. In contrast, although the old models have reached L2-level assisted driving, some assisted driving functions are missing.

Summary:

From this comparison, it can be seen that Passat Pro is not only sincere in price, but also obviously upgraded in configuration level, such as dual-zone speech recognition and L2-level assisted driving, and it also has the heating, ventilation and massage functions of the second row of seats beyond the same level, which is more in line with the car purchase needs of young consumers. If you are considering buying a medium-sized joint venture car recently, then the 2025 SAIC Volkswagen Passat Pro deserves your attention.

Counterfeiter Wang Hai posted a post questioning the official response of Dalian in the investigation process of "100 acres of cherry tree death"

  Dalian, China, November 14 (Reporter Wang Song) On the 13th, professional counterfeiter Wang Hai posted on the Internet that since 2020, hundreds of acres of cherry trees have died after farmers used the cherry plant protection scheme of Dalian Dianlong Company; The post questioned the relevant investigation and disposal process of Dalian Agricultural and Rural Bureau. On the 14th, Dalian Agriculture and Rural Bureau answered the questions raised in Wang Hai’s release.

  What Wang Hai posted on the Internet (screenshot)

  Question 1: Excuse me, Director Xing Fang of Dalian Agriculture and Rural Bureau, why didn’t the special class set up by your bureau to deal with the death of cherry trees investigate the phytotoxicity of Dalian Dianlong Company?

  In March, 2023, Dalian Special Class for Handling the Death of Cherry Tree in Wafangdian went deep into wafangdian city Dianlong Company, the involved enterprise, and investigated and verified 23 kinds of pesticides and 8 kinds of fertilizers sold since January 1, 2021 by consulting the sales ledger, checking the quality inspection report and taking samples for identification, and entrusted a third party to identify the quality of 15 kinds of pesticides in stock, and traced the quality inspection report of 8 kinds of pesticides and 8 kinds of fertilizers out of stock to the manufacturer. Judging from the inspection report and appraisal results, no quality problems have been found in the above pesticides and fertilizers sold by Dianlong Company.

  On March 29th of the same year, the working class organized 7 experts from Northwest A&F University, Beijing Academy of Agriculture and Forestry, Shandong Academy of Agricultural Sciences and other units to form an expert group, and went to relevant orchards to carry out on-site investigation, guide sampling and expert judgment (a total of 5 orchards). In response to the problem of "copper ion phytotoxicity" reflected by the whistleblower, according to the expert’s suggestion, the city sent the sampling samples to the Environmental Quality Supervision, Inspection and Testing Center of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (Tianjin) for testing the total copper and glyphosate content (pesticide residues). On May 6, 2023, the expert group made a comprehensive judgment. According to the field investigation, identification test and test report, the conclusion was given: the main cause of the damage symptoms of cherry tree branches, roots and trunk bark was caused by fungal diseases.

  Question 2: Since 2020, farmers have used the cherries of Dalian Dianlong Company to solve the plant protection scheme, and hundreds of acres of cherry trees have died one after another. You didn’t go to the scene investigation the first time you received the report, and didn’t set up a special work class until this year. Is there anything strange in this?

  According to the working rules, after receiving the report, the relevant departments of the territory are responsible for the investigation. The incident occurred in September, 2022, and its territory was wafangdian city. The relevant departments of wafangdian city will deal with it as soon as possible according to the law. First, on October 11, 2022, wafangdian city Agriculture and Rural Bureau filed an investigation on Dianlong Company’s alleged unauthorized modification of two kinds of fertilizer labels, and finally imposed an administrative penalty of 20,000 yuan. The work class carefully checked the relevant files. The main facts of the case were clear, the evidence was conclusive, the law was accurately applied, and the law enforcement procedure was legal. Wafangdian city Municipal Market Supervision Bureau received five complaints from informants about Dianlong Company on September 2, September 15 and October 20, 2022, and all of them responded within the prescribed time limit.

  In order to verify and supervise the territorial work, the Dalian Municipal Government set up a special work class in March 2023, and went deep into wafangdian city to carry out a 9-day investigation and verification work, forming a work report and reporting it to the Dalian Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. After that, it was reported to the Liaoning Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government in the form of documents of the municipal party committee and the municipal government.

  Question 3: This special class has not been publicized, and it has not been declared whether it has an interest in the investigated object, no instruments and equipment, no appraisal qualification, and no opinions from farmers. What makes it clear that the cherry tree died of fungal infection?

  According to the requirements of the Regulations on the Openness of Government Information in People’s Republic of China (PRC), "the internal affairs information of administrative organs, including personnel management, logistics management, internal workflow and other aspects, may not be disclosed". The work class is a temporary organization for government agencies to handle internal work. Members are all staff of relevant departments, and there is no need for publicity as required. The relevant experts hired are authoritative experts in China, and the relevant testing institutions entrusted are qualified. During the investigation, the working class visited relevant farmers and enterprises, and the expert group hired was based on the on-site investigation, appraisal test and test report.

  Question 4: After filming the forehead, the special class only took samples from cherry trees that had been dead for one or two years, and also entrusted fruit trees without appraisal qualification to do experiments on whether fungi could cause the death of living trees. When entrusting, the disease is used to set the tone first, misleading the fruit trees to draw the wrong conclusion that they are not qualified at all. The bacteria in the corpse can kill people, which proves that this person was killed by bacteria? No matter how you die, it is common sense that all kinds of bacteria that cause death may be detected on rotting corpses. Is this experiment meaningful?

  On March 29th, 2023, the municipal work special class organized an expert group to carry out an on-site investigation on the death of cherry trees. The expert group learned about the symptoms of cherry trees on the spot with growers, and guided the on-site sampling of damaged branches, roots, trunk bark and rhizosphere soil of cherry trees in orchards. After the on-site investigation, the expert group held the first working meeting, and then sent the samples to the Environmental Quality Supervision, Inspection and Testing Center of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (Tianjin) for detection of total copper and glyphosate, and the Fruit Research Institute of China Academy of Agricultural Sciences (Xingcheng, Liaoning) for detection of pathogenic bacteria. Among them, the Environmental Quality Supervision, Inspection and Testing Center of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (Tianjin) is a ministerial-level professional quality inspection center in the field of agricultural eco-environment. In 2017, it became the first batch of national agricultural testing benchmark laboratories (pesticide residues), and the Fruit Research Institute of China Academy of Agricultural Sciences is a national scientific research institution, not a fruit research institute without appraisal qualification. After the two testing units respectively issued the Experimental Report on Pathogen Isolation and Identification of Cherry Samples in wafangdian city, Dalian and the Test Report (NO.KY030-2023), on May 6th, the municipal work class organized the expert group to hold another meeting. Based on the inspection and test report, the expert group focused on discussion, consulted the literature and standards, and obtained the comprehensive judgment opinions of experts.

  Question 5: The death of these cherry trees is characterized by yellowing and shedding of leaves, which is not a symptom of fungal infection at all. Why didn’t the special class investigate the problem of drug injury? Afraid of what?

  After the on-the-spot investigation on March 29th, 2023, the expert group held the first working meeting of judgment, and sorted out the main symptoms found in the on-the-spot investigation as follows: the symptoms of branch withered; The damaged parts of the trunk show partial cuticle cracking, ulcer, rot and gumming, which may cause the whole tree to die in severe cases. Some plants showed symptoms of bolting, and a few plants showed symptoms of neck rot. According to the symptoms, the main causes are infectious diseases and non-infectious diseases. In order to further analyze the reasons, the expert group suggested that the sampled samples should be subjected to disease identification and pesticide residue determination, and finally the "Experimental Report on Pathogen Isolation and Identification of Cherry Samples in wafangdian city, Dalian" and "Test Report (NO.KY030-2023)" were formed, and the expert group gave judgment opinions according to the identification results.

Running Man Nanjing recorded a program for public welfare, and the guests could be described as "coming out after a long time"


Running Man Nanjing recorded a program for public welfare, and the guests could be described as "coming out after a long time"


Three days! "Running Brothers" really stayed in Nanjing for three days this time. The "Seven" members of the Running Men’s Troupe recorded two episodes in Nanjing in three days and left Nanjing last night. As early as a week ago, all kinds of news have been spread on the Internet, but most of these are just scraps. After three days of interviews and understanding, the reporter inquired about various details of the "Running Men’s Troupe" recording in Nanjing. What did the "Running Men’s Troupe" do in Nanjing? Where did they go? Why did they come to Nanjing in the third season? What you don’t know is that "Running Men" and Nanjing are also quite "compatible". Why? You will know after watching it!

Why didn’t it come until the third season?


It has been planning, and the director team alone has stepped on the points more than four or five times


As early as the stage of the first "Running Man" run, Nanjing fans shouted on the Internet that "Running Man Group" could also come to Nanjing for a run. But two seasons have passed, and fans in the ancient city have not been able to get their wish. Why not come to Nanjing? "In fact, there is no such thing. We have been planning to come to Nanjing for a’run ‘in the past three seasons, but there has been no good time." The person in charge of publicity told reporters that since "Running Man" just went LIVE, he has been preparing to come to this ancient capital.


Finally, towards the end of 2015, the "Running Men’s Group" trotted all the way to Nanjing. "We also really want to come, Nanjing is so beautiful! And the cultural atmosphere here is increasingly strong, and the director team came more than four or five times in the early stage." The person in charge revealed that in every district in Nanjing, they learned about the meaningful buildings and special attractions in the district through the stepping points. "This season, we are more integrated with the theme of traditional Chinese culture, which is more in line with Nanjing." This time, Running Men finally came to Nanjing.


According to the introduction, the two episodes recorded in Nanjing will be broadcast at the end of this year. The reporter saw during the tour that the guests of the two episodes in Nanjing were also very interesting, and they were definitely the important guests that everyone was looking forward to. This time it can be said that it is "a long-awaited beginning".


Three days of recording, Nanjing’s famous buildings and attractions, the "Running Man Group" almost ran all over, Nanjing Institute of Physical Education, Tangshan Upright Ape Museum, several locations perfectly combined sportsmanship with traditional Chinese culture.


Can Nanjing Recording provide spoilers?


Rain games, mental and physical challenges


Three days of recording, what kind of content will this episode of "Running Man" in Nanjing present to the audience? The reporter learned a thing or two from the on-site visit, can you give a spoiler? With the consent of the program team, I can tell you something here, be mentally prepared, these two phases of games in Nanjing will be multiple challenges for the "Running Man Group" mentally and physically.


On the afternoon of the 7th, "Running Brothers" was recorded at the Nanjing Institute of Physical Education. This stop was not fully enclosed for filming. Although the scene was set up for safety isolation, enthusiastic viewers and fans could still watch outside the isolation range. The audience watched in an orderly manner, with enthusiasm and cheers. As soon as Deng Chao, the team leader of Running Men, took the stage, he raised the speaker to respond to the audience’s waiting, and reminded everyone not to shout loudly, so as not to affect the program.


The recording of Nanjing Station coincided with the cold air, the temperature dropped sharply, and it drizzled in the afternoon of the first day. However, the change of the weather did not affect the state of the running men. During the team confrontation, everyone was in full condition and eager to try. The filming took place in the Central Stadium of Nanjing Institute of Physical Education that day, in front of the quaint building, the running men launched a challenge about sports. However, due to the difficulty of the task set up, it took a lot of effort for the running men to challenge. Some people finally passed the test after trying again and again, and some people tried nearly 100 times and still failed, but for the victory of the team, they still clenched their teeth and sank their hearts again and again, not discouraged, not giving up. This also reflects the spirit of sports competition.


In addition to making unremitting efforts, the Running Men’s Team was also very united in the face of the "difficult problem". When a member of the team really struggled to pass the test, other brothers also came on the bench to replace the relay. As the captain of the Running Men’s Team, Deng Chao did not forget to give encouragement to the team when everyone was in trouble, "It’s okay, it’s already good" "Come on, just focus". In this way, the players who fell into the psychological limit during the challenge were greatly encouraged. It is reported that the game on the afternoon of the 7th is not the most difficult, and there are more "difficult" challenges waiting for the members of the "Running Men’s Team".


What did you do in Nanjing?


Record the program for public welfare, and don’t forget to eat all kinds of snacks


The "Running Man Group" that came to Nanjing has received a large number of fans’ support. Just at the recording scene on the 7th, although it rained lightly from time to time, the fans still stood by and watched. The fans are full of love for the Running Man Group. Every time a member challenges the next game, everyone will call him "Come on", and there will be neat shouts from time to time on the scene. From the live recording situation, it is still necessary to remind the audience that if everyone really loves the Running Man and the seven Running Man Group, in order to present the show more perfectly, I hope everyone will try to be rational and quiet to watch.


Of course, in addition to recording the program, the "Running Men’s Group" also did a lot of things during the three days in Nanjing. On the afternoon of the 8th, the "Running Men’s Group" came to a school for the children of migrant workers to give gifts such as running shoes and books, and promised to build a "sunshine track" for the school. During this period, the "Running Men’s Group" also ate snacks in Nanjing, "duck blood vermicelli soup, Nanjing Xiaolongbao, pork button…" Angelababy is like a family treasure, and he is even more straightforward: "We are here to eat." Chen He also revealed that usually they don’t know the names of many dishes when they eat, because "they are gone as soon as they come up."


Although the three-day period was not long, the "Running Men’s Group" had a pretty good impression of Nanjing. "The cultural atmosphere here is very strong. The first day we came to record, it happened that the photo of the necklace composed of Nanjing sycamore trees was popular on the Internet. It was really beautiful.


Ultimately, these three days will present the audience with two episodes of what kind of program, open Zhejiang Satellite TV and wait to watch "Run Brothers"!

Didi has finally made a profit, but why does it continue to spend money on autonomous driving?

Didi is entering a new stage of development of "breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly".

The latest quarterly earnings report from Didi shows that Didi has achieved its best performance in history. Specifically, while its business and revenue continued to grow and reached a record high, it also ushered in a bright harvest on the financial level: it achieved its first single-quarter profit since delisting from the New York Stock Exchange.

More importantly, Didi’s business structure has also further matured. One of the most typical examples is that Didi’s corporate strategy will further "focus on mobility services", according to Cheng Wei, chairperson and CEO of Didi.

For a travel platform company like Didi, doing something and not doing something is a very challenging business choice. At present, the strategic focus on travel services has pointed to Didi’s "doing something", and Didi’s "doing something" has largely pointed to autonomous driving.

For the current Didi, this is undoubtedly a wise choice.

Towards a rare positive business cycle

From a financial standpoint, Didi is approaching a business cycle based on a mobility service system like never before.

According to Didi’s official financial report for the third quarter of 2023 released on November 13, Didi’s revenue in the third quarter was 51.40 billion yuan, reaching a new historical high and growing by 25% year-on-year.

Among them, the China Mobility business segment achieved revenue of 46.649 billion yuan, an increase of 26.6% year-on-year; the International business segment achieved revenue of 2.034 billion yuan, an increase of 28% year-on-year.

Judging from the order situation, Didi’s order volume in the three quarters continued the growth trend of the previous two quarters as a whole, and the total order volume of the core platform reached 3.579 billion orders, an increase of 34% year-on-year. Among them, the total order volume of China’s travel business was 2.878 billion orders, an increase of 32% year-on-year; the total order volume of international business was 701 million orders, an increase of 43% year-on-year. In this way, the average daily order volume of China’s travel in the third quarter reached 31.30 million orders, breaking through the historical peak of a single quarter.

For this order volume performance, Didi said that around the summer, concerts and other popular travel scenarios, Didi continued to up the ante refined operation in the third quarter, issuing multiple taxi benefits to users, and further driving travel demand growth. In the third quarter, the total transaction volume (GTV) of Didi’s core platform was 91.50 billion yuan, an increase of 37% year-on-year. Among them, the total transaction volume of China’s travel was 72.50 billion yuan, an increase of 33% year-on-year; the total transaction volume of international business was 19 billion yuan, an increase of 52% year-on-year.

Of course, in order to promote the expansion of the overall revenue plate, Didi’s revenue costs are also expanding.

According to the financial report data, Didi’s cost in the third quarter of 2023 was 43.40 billion yuan, accounting for 84.4% of revenue; the cost in the same period of the previous year was 33.70 billion yuan, accounting for 81.9% of revenue. In this regard, Didi explained in the financial report that the increase in revenue costs as a percentage of revenue was mainly due to the increase in costs related to China’s online car-hailing business.

But the good thing is that Didi has made efforts to improve operational efficiency.

Specifically, Didi’s sales and marketing expenses in Q3 2023 were 2.80 billion yuan, accounting for 5.4% of revenue, and 6.1% in the same period last year. At the same time, Didi’s management fee in the third quarter of 2023 was 2.20 billion yuan, and the same period last year was 2.30 billion yuan. The management fee rate decreased from 5.5% in the same period last year to 4.2%.

It can be seen that when the proportion of sales and marketing expenses and management fees is decreasing, it can be seen that Didi’s operational efficiency is indeed improving.

Let’s take a look at the profitability again.

Didi’s adjusted EBITA loss in the third quarter was 315 million yuan, compared with 308 million yuan in the same period last year.

Among them, Didi’s adjusted EBITA from China’s travel business in Q3 2023 was 1.47 billion yuan, down 26.1% from 1.988 billion yuan in the same period last year; Didi’s adjusted EBITA from international business travel in Q3 2023 was – 795 million yuan, down 9.2% from the same period last year – 876 million yuan. Adjusted EBITA loss for other business segments was 990 million yuan, down 30.3% year-on-year.

It is worth mentioning that Didi’s ROI recorded in Q3 2023 was 1.10 billion yuan, and the ROI in the same period of the previous year was 200 million yuan. Didi’s ROI in 2022 is mainly related to the fair value gain of the company’s investment in Grab, while Didi’s ROI in 2023 is mainly related to the unrealized gain arising from the spin-off of its subsidiary engaged in autonomous trucking.

From the final results, according to GAAP standards, Didi’s net profit in the third quarter was 376 million yuan, compared with a net loss of 1.764 billion yuan in the same period last year.

In addition, as of September 30, 2023, Didi’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted funds and wealth management investment balances were 54.60 billion yuan, an increase from 48.80 billion yuan as of December 31, 2022. At the same time, Didi disclosed that it will carry out a repurchase plan of no more than 1 billion US dollars in the next 24 months.

Overall, on the basis of the expansion of the overall revenue plate, Didi has continuously improved operational efficiency, reduced the scope of loss-making business, and achieved overall profitability under GAAP standards through investment and other means. Under the new business rhythm, Didi has shown a positive trend as a whole.

From the perspective of its overall development process, this time, Didi has achieved its best performance in history since its inception.

The smart choice for Didi’s strategy: Focus

Didi’s financial performance in the third quarter of this year has actually been fully and accurately explained in the evaluation of Cheng Wei, chairperson and CEO of Didi Chuxing.

Cheng Wei said that thanks to the continuous recovery of domestic travel demand, Didi’s various businesses continued to grow steadily in the third quarter. Objectively speaking, the reason why Didi Chuxing was able to achieve more than 25% revenue and order growth is indeed closely related to the rapid growth of travel demand after the end of the epidemic. This factor can be regarded as a favorable external condition for Didi’s development.

However, from the perspective of Didi itself, Cheng Wei’s next sentence revealed the secret of Didi’s ability to grasp the growth of technology, that is, "the company’s strategy further focuses on mobility services". If the core keyword is extracted, it is "focus on mobility services".

Indeed, focusing has become the choice that Didi Chuxing, a travel service platform company rooted in China, has made in the past few years.

A very typical example is that as early as 2020 and the first half of 2021, Didi was also frantically involved in the battle of community group buying and sank the sand, but in the following year or two, Didi actively or passively gave up this business sector. Now, it has completely withdrawn from this muddy water.

Even just from the third quarter of this year, Didi has carried out its strategy through a number of actions in "focusing on mobility services".

Among them, the one that has attracted the most attention from the outside world is undoubtedly the transfer of the smart electric vehicle project to Xiaopeng in August this year.

More specifically, at the end of August this year, Didi Chuxing announced a strategic cooperation with XPeng Motors to sell its previous electric vehicle project-related assets and R & D capabilities to XPeng Motors, which itself owns shares in XPeng Motors. In addition, the two sides also cooperate on automobile operation, brand marketing, financial insurance services, charging facilities, international markets, etc.

For Didi, the cooperation with Xiaopeng is undoubtedly wise. After all, the smart electric vehicle project is a very expensive asset-heavy business. For an Internet company like Didi, the qualification itself is a big issue, not to mention the huge capital and business risks involved.

In essence, the smart electric vehicle business is indeed not what Didi is good at. It is related to Chuanqiang, but it does not belong to the category of "service" at all, so it is essentially different from "travel service". Therefore, Didi chose to cooperate with XPeng Motors to sell the business and obtain shares in XPeng Motors, essentially returning to the asset-light model that it is familiar with and good at.

So the abandonment of the smart electric vehicle project reflects Didi’s "focus" on Chuxing services, which is indeed very sensible.

In addition to its partnership with XPeng Motors, Didi Chuxing’s focus on "mobility services" was also reflected in another partnership announced in the third quarter.

On September 6, Didi’s Didi Car Rental and Heyi Car Rental jointly announced that they have reached a cooperation, and will jointly explore various fields such as vehicle rental, network services, marketing promotion, and new business scenarios to jointly provide users with more value-added and convenient travel services.

In fact, the cooperation between Didi Car Rental and Ehi Car Rental is the first time that Didi Car Rental is directly connected to the domestic head self-operated car rental brand. Users open the Didi Chuxing App and click "Ehi Special Offer" from the "Didi Car Rental" model list page to quickly filter. You can rent vehicles from Ehi 11,000 multiple direct outlets across the country. In this cooperation, the two sides also plan to try new usage scenarios and usage models in the car rental business, and jointly explore new space in the car rental market. For example, more attempts and explorations are made in scenarios such as commuter car rental and instant cross-city car rental to further enhance the user experience.

Obviously, the cooperation with Ehi Car Rental is another important layout for Didi to continuously expand its services around the travel scene and meet the diverse travel needs of users. It should be noted that the attributes of this cooperation itself are still asset-light, and the business itself is completely under the category of "travel services".

Of course, in addition to the above two collaborations, Didi Chuxing’s focus on travel services is also reflected in its many daily operation dynamics in the third quarter, including the launch of "barrier-free travel services for the blind" nationwide, the participation of "Didi public welfare rescue team" in disaster relief work, the upgrading of student rights and interests, the establishment of a freight driver ecological service committee in the freight business, and the launch of 1 billion subsidies during the double holiday.

These are all manifestations of Didi’s "focus on mobility services".

It is worth mentioning that it is precisely because of Didi’s continued layout in the travel service that in September this year, Didi Chuxing also successfully ranked 14th in the "2023 China Top 100 Service Private Enterprises" list released by the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, which is undoubtedly a great affirmation of Didi as a travel service enterprise.

Autonomous driving, supporting an imaginative space

There is no doubt that the core corporate strategy of "focusing on mobility services" has strongly supported Didi’s "present" in business and financial aspects; at the same time, as an Internet technology company, Didi also needs to build a "future" with broad imagination for the market and investors.

It is clear that this "future" of Didi is built on autonomous driving.

In fact, if we look at the timeline of setting up a team in 2016, Didi’s autonomous driving business is actually the business that Didi has the longest and most committed in many businesses, and it is also the business that best reflects Didi’s technological attributes as a travel service company.

At present, Didi is also making multi-line deployments in the field of autonomous driving.

One of the most obvious and important lines is undoubtedly the cooperation with GAC Aian for the layout of L4-level driverless taxis.

In fact, as early as May 2021, Didi’s autonomous driving company announced a strategic cooperation with GAC Aian, the purpose of which is a driverless new energy model that can be put into large-scale application. But this cooperation was stranded for a time, and it was not substantially advanced until May 2023. Didi Autonomous Driving Company and GAC Aian New Energy Vehicle joint stock company jointly released the driverless new energy production vehicle project "AIDI plan" and announced that they will establish a joint venture company.

According to the AIDI plan, Didi Autonomous Driving and GAC AEAN will establish a joint venture. The first mass-produced model will be based on GAC AEAN AEP3.0 pure electric platform, Xingling electronic and electrical architecture and multi-fusion perception autonomous driving mass-production technology, equipped with Didi Autonomous Driving L4 urban generalization engine and autonomous driving technology solutions for travel services, to create driverless new energy vehicles. Not only that, the production car will be connected to Didi’s shared travel network in 2025.

In October this year, GAC Capital, a wholly-owned subsidiary of GAC Group, and Guangzhou Development Zone Investment Group announced the establishment of a special project fund jointly funded by the same proportion, investing no more than 149 million US dollars in Didi Autonomous Driving; through this investment, Didi Autonomous Driving will continue to increase investment in technology research and development, accelerate the promotion of product application and open cooperation in the industrial chain.

Therefore, it is obvious that on the road to promoting L4 driverless taxis, Didi’s autonomous driving has been firmly tied to the deep-pocketed GAC Group, relying on Didi’s leading strength in autonomous driving technology and scene data systems.

In addition to Robotaxi, another business breakthrough point for Didi’s autonomous driving is the mass production of new energy heavy trucks at the L4 level.

In fact, at the Guangzhou Auto Show held not long ago, Didi Autonomous Driving showed a front-loading L4 new energy heavy truck. It was jointly launched by Carl Power, an incubator of Didi Autonomous Driving, and Shaanxi Automobile. It is equipped with the hybrid intelligent formation system developed by Carl Power. From a business perspective, it is a hybrid unmanned solution that can empower logistics and transportation scenarios through intelligent driving.

At present, Karl Power has carried out normal testing and operation in North China and Northwest China, providing intelligent transportation in complex scenarios such as short, medium and long-distance, and transporting over 2.50 million tons of bulk goods every year.

It can be said that through the layout of L4-level front-loading mass-produced new energy heavy trucks, Didi’s autonomous driving tentacles have also penetrated into the field of smart logistics from the perspective of human travel needs.

Of course, in addition to cooperation with car companies, Didi is also deploying some core components and technologies in autonomous driving. For example, the three-domain integrated computing platform "ORCA Orca" developed by Didi Autonomous Driving, and the lidar "North BETA" jointly developed by Didi and Beixing, etc. These businesses are essentially intelligent layouts carried out by Didi to achieve L4-level autonomous driving.

From the bottom, Didi’s layout in the field of autonomous driving is still a light asset logic that relies on partners, empowers partners, and connects partners. This is indeed more conducive to Didi from the perspective of Internet platform enterprises to play its own intelligent and shared value without having to bear huge financial exposure.

Of course, overall, Didi’s layout in the field of autonomous driving is still in the investment stage, and to see its actual value in terms of business returns, it may have to wait until 2025 at the earliest.

As a mature enterprise, Didi

In China’s Internet platform enterprises, Didi has always been a special presence.

For example, it was born in the wave of China’s mobile Internet development, and it naturally has its own technological attributes; it has grown up with the continuous feeding and support of multiple capitals, which makes it more necessary to consider the balance between short-term returns and long-term investment at the financial level; but at the same time, the travel track it is in is a highly regulated industry, and safety must be the first red line… This itself is "walking a tightrope of balance".

Such enterprise attributes are destined to make Didi’s development difficult, making it appear to be stumbling.

But now, after a series of setbacks and adjustments, Didi has found its place in the ever-changing industry landscape, focusing on the strategic foundation of "mobility services", and has also found its own development rhythm, taking autonomous driving as the core competitiveness for the future.

Do something, do something. In other words, Didi has finally learned the correct posture of "balancing the tightrope".

Such a Didi, although it is no longer the Didi that seeks crazy expansion and constantly seeks various possibilities, is a more pragmatic, more mature, more stable and more responsible platform enterprise. More importantly, on the track of autonomous driving, it continues to run and intends to build a long-term enough future with a smarter attitude.
