Dear leaders, ladies and gentlemen, Good morning! My name is Cheng Junhua, and I am honored to attend this grand meeting and exchange and study with my friends at Ford Motor Company.
My speech is the smart car intelligent service world. Ford has always believed that free travel can promote human progress, it is adhering to this belief, Ford with great enthusiasm to create a series of high-quality automotive products. Today, the same belief is promoting Ford is one of the world's most trusted mobile travel companies, designing smart cars for smart-world designs to help people move safer, more confident, and more freely.
We live in an age of disruptive change, artificial intelligence, advances in technology, and advances in software that are transforming every aspect of our lives. Our business climate is changing and our business model is changing. The future of non-smart cars will slowly fade out People's vision. Just now Director Xu talked about the application of intelligent network, China should be the world, we also have consensus. Ford believes that the future of smart cities need to be built on a new transportation operating system, when the vehicle mainly rely on the various Sensors work interactively to achieve all this requires the cooperation of all parties.
In order to become the most trusted travel agency in this brand new smart world, our primary focus is on smart travel, smart networking, autopilot and vehicle electrification. Ford is using state-of-the-art technology to develop vehicle sharing services and travel in diverse cities Model. By the end of 2019, all the new Ford and Lincoln models in China will realize the Internet. Autopilot will bring many benefits to the community to reduce car accidents, reduce air pollution and traffic congestion, solve urban parking problems and provide assistance to people with disabilities To provide convenient travel services Ford has developed autopilot for more than a decade and is committed to fully autonomous commercial applications by 2021. There are now more than 100 vehicles in autopilot road tests.
According to forecasts, more than half of global car sales by 2030 will be new energy vehicles, including hybrid, plug-in hybrid and pure electric vehicles, China is the fastest-growing market for new energy vehicles.It is predicted to 2026 In the year, the sales volume of new energy vehicles in China will reach 7 million sets, of which 4 million will be pure electric vehicles, and the curve of blending will change. Ford will strive to provide consumers with a series of electric vehicle products to meet the growing and changing Chinese market The demand.
Electrification has been in the Ford Genes for more than a century, but few people know Henry Ford and Edison are good friends, and it's a very interesting photograph of them who live close together and often camp together. Henry Ford The museum, also known as the Edison Institute, would have known people who visited Ford before the Henry Ford Generators and the entire lighting system were designed by Edison, and because of this friendship they were both inventing in 1914 The world's first concept electric car.
Ford electrification has been in the history of more than one hundred years. In the 1960s, the concept electric car was introduced. In 1998, the electric pickup truck was introduced. In 2004, the hybrid SUV was launched. In 2012, the full range of hybrid, plug-in and pure electric products Market.We plan to launch 40 new energy vehicles worldwide, including 16 pure electric vehicles, by 2022. In order to support the launch of these electrified vehicles, Ford plans to invest 10 billion U.S. dollars by 2022 and launch it in 2020 Pure electric SUV models.
The development of electric vehicles, technology research and development is the key, just summer Xia also talked about this matter in the world, we already have three top electric vehicle research center, they are located in the United States, Britain, China, all-round building electrification capacity, with A thousand invention patents.Our R & D focuses on hybrid, plug-in and pure EV-related core technology.As one of Ford's three global R & D centers in Nanjing, its R & D team work closely together to support Ford in China electrification development of.
Ford to launch the first Ford new energy vehicles in China, is a plug-in hybrid, put into production this year in Changan Ford. By 2025, we will release at least 15 Ford and Lincoln brand electrification models in China by 2025 By the end of the year, all Changan Ford products will be outfitted with an electrified version for customers to choose from. 70% will be equipped with an electrified version. Ford also announced a joint venture with Zhongtai to produce a joint-venture economical pure electric vehicle for the market.
We believe that the development of autonomous driving in China can not do without partners. In July last year, Ford decided to join Baidu's Apollo autopilot platform, boosting Ford's exploration in robotics and artificial intelligence fields and contributing to the development of the platform We are trying hard to explore opportunities for further deepening cooperation and building smart cars for the smart world, which requires the concerted efforts and efforts of all sectors of society. The government's regulatory support is crucial to the development of China's new energy vehicles market. In the early stage of the automobile market, the continuous and steady government support is particularly crucial for maintaining the momentum of development. In addition, it is proposed to enhance compliance with international standards in terms of laws and regulations and standards so as to help China's electric vehicle products better meet the needs of the international market, As part of the global electric car industry chain, experts also talked about yesterday, the foresight and stability of the importance of the policy.
Looking forward to Ford's future, we will recall Henry Ford's original intention to found Ford, Henry Ford believes that free travel will promote human progress and development.This is an advertisement in 1925, I think it is a good illustration of the Ford founder so far To develop a vision, Ford is not only a car repairer, it will give people the freedom to travel. We will be satisfied with the ongoing challenges faced by the travel challenges and create a leading consumer progress, leading to smarter, cleaner, more It is very important that we talk about awe and cross-border integration in summer, and we also try our best to build a smart car for the smart world.
