/PRZWT/SHENZHEN, March 4, 2025 - In the third decade of the 21st century, the global automotive industry is entering the fast lane of intelligence and new energy at an unprecedented speed. With the rapid progress of intelligent technology and the wave of electrification, this market segment is facing unprecedented development opportunities and challenges.
In order to deeply explore the key issues in this transformation process and promote the off-road vehicle and SUV industry to move forward steadily in the direction of new energy and intelligence, it is sponsored by the Off-road Vehicle Technology Branch of the Chinese Society of Automotive Engineering, Beijing Institute of Technology, and the Key Laboratory of Intelligent Unmanned System Technology; BYD Automotive Industry Co., Ltd., Beijing Derun Tianxia Culture Media Co., Ltd., and New Quality Standard Research (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd.; and the "2025 2nd Off-road Vehicle & SUV New Energy and Intelligent Development Conference" co-organized by the Electric Vehicle Industry Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance will be grandly opened in Shenzhen from May 15 to 17, 2025.
The theme of this conference is "New Opportunities for Great Off-Road New Ecology Sharing", aiming to build a high-end exchange platform that integrates government, industry, academia, research, application and other forces. At that time, top wisdom from around the world will come together to jointly explore the new energy and intelligent development path of China's off-road vehicle and SUV industry, leading the industry to a new stage of high-quality development.

Shenzhen & BYD, the "double first" of China's new energy vehicles
Shenzhen, a city that breeds endless innovation and bright dreams, is taking the new energy revolution and intelligent wave of the automobile industry as the ink to outline a magnificent picture of future travel. In 2024, Shenzhen's new energy vehicle production exceeded 2.93 million, and after first winning the top spot in 2023, it defended the title of "China's first city of new energy vehicles".
BYD, located in Shenzhen, once again won the three first places of "China Auto Market Car Enterprise Sales Champion", "China Auto Market Brand Sales Champion" and "Global New Energy Vehicle Market Sales Champion" with the annual sales of 4.27 million vehicles in 2024.
Recently, at the BYD intelligent strategy conference held in Shenzhen, BYD's popularization of "God's Eye" intelligent driving technology sent a clear and firm signal to the industry: intelligent driving technology is gradually transforming from an exclusive "luxury" in the high-end market to an indispensable "standard" in the mass market.
As one of the representatives of China's new energy off-road vehicle category, the intelligent hard-core SUV launched by BYD's new energy personality brand Equation Leopard, Equation Leopard 8, not only integrates BYD's full-featured version of Yunnian-P intelligent hydraulic body control system and exclusive DMO electric drive off-road creation platform, but also joins hands with Huawei to carry the first-ever Smart Driving ADS 3.0 system, marking Equation Leopard 8 as the world's first hard-core model equipped with Huawei's smart driving technology, demonstrating its leading position in the field of intelligent driving.

The Leopard 5 Smart Driving Edition is currently the only model in the world that has both BYD's "Eye of the Gods" and Huawei's "Dry Smart Driving" two high-end smart driving systems. At the same time, it integrates the DMO electric drive off-road creation platform and the Yunlian-P intelligent hydraulic body control system, achieving the ultimate balance of technology and personality. This not only uses technology to break the traditional boundaries and solve the "binary opposition" in user requests, but also uses "electricity" as a medium to transform the impossible into possible, leading the new energy automobile industry to a new stage of development and becoming a veritable "pioneer of the next generation of new energy vehicles".

The entire industrial chain is covered to create an ecological closed loop
This conference not only focuses on the new energy and intelligent technology innovation of the off-road vehicle and SUV industry, but also strives to build an ecological closed-loop of the entire industrial chain. Technologies and products in cutting-edge fields such as intelligent connected vehicles and intelligent transportation systems will be showcased, covering all aspects of the industrial chain such as perception, algorithm, communication, execution and end point. At the same time, key components such as new energy vehicles, batteries, motors, electronic control, charging and swapping stations, hydrogen fuel cells, air conditioners and thermal management, wiring harness connectors, lightweight and the latest achievements of upstream and downstream enterprises in the entire industrial chain will also be fully displayed.
In addition, the conference also pays special attention to cutting-edge technology and the latest developments in related fields. Innovative achievements of automobile development and testing, travel service providers and other related enterprises will also become a highlight of this conference. The rapid development of these fields will provide strong support and guarantee for the new energy and intelligent transformation of the off-road vehicle and SUV industries.

Authoritative endorsement, empowering the future development of the industry
As one of the organizers of this conference, the head of the off-road vehicle technology branch of the Chinese Society of Automotive Engineers said: "Driven by the global carbon neutrality goal, the new energy and intelligence of off-road vehicles have become an irreversible trend. This conference will integrate resources from a forward-looking perspective, accelerate technology transformation and ecological co-construction, and provide core kinetic energy for Chinese car companies to achieve'overtaking in corners'.
At the same time, we also hope that through the platform effect of this conference, we can grasp the key key of technological innovation, greatly enhance the brand power of Chinese off-road brands, and make technology a solid foundation for brand value recognition, so as to effectively shorten the gap between Chinese and foreign off-road brands in brand power, and firmly establish and enhance the leading position of Chinese off-road brands on the global stage. "
This conference is not only a technical feast, but also a key link to promote collaborative innovation between industry, university and research. Here, the government, industry, academia, research, application and other forces will work closely together to explore the road of new energy and intelligent development of the off-road vehicle and SUV industry. Through in-depth exchanges and cooperation, they will jointly promote the transformation, upgrading and high-quality development of the industry, and contribute wisdom and strength to building a greener, smarter and more sustainable automotive industry ecology.
Looking to the future, we have reason to believe that under the impetus of the "2025 2nd Off-Road Vehicle & SUV New Energy and Intelligent Development Conference", the off-road vehicle and SUV industry will usher in broader development prospects and infinite possibilities. Let us go hand in hand to write a new chapter in the new energy and intelligent development of the off-road vehicle and SUV industry!
