Changsha, November 2, 2026 /PR Newswire/ -- On November 1, SANY Group held the "Good World Open Day" and the first SANY Charity Festival at Building 5 of its Changsha Industrial Park. On the same day, the "SANY Group Global Social Impact Report" was released, and the global charity plan "SANY FOR GOOD" was launched—consolidating previously scattered charity actions focused on disaster rescue in China and abroad into a replicable, co-creatable system.

SANY Group Director Fu Weizhong delivered the opening speech for the SANY Charity Festival

Guided by the principle of "Technology for People, Forging Goodness with Action", the report discloses the results of five major action frameworks: Mechanical Rescue, Engineering Education, Resilient Communities, Green Construction Future, and Empowered Ecology: As of the release, SANY's cumulative charity investment exceeded 380 million yuan; participated in over 100 major disaster rescue operations domestically and internationally, deploying over 2,000 equipment units, benefiting more than 5 million people directly or indirectly; Engineering education projects such as Takeok Education covered over 110,000 students and empowered over 2,100 teachers; Community investment exceeded 40 million yuan, benefiting over 32,000 people; The "SANY Charity" platform has registered over 34,000 volunteers, with a cumulative service duration of more than 38,000 hours; Impact investment reduced carbon emissions by over 6.82 million tons.

Based on the concept of "Technology for People, Forging Goodness with Action", the SANY FOR GOOD global charity plan elevates charity from project execution to a systematic approach. The two projects launched on site were initiated proactively by overseas regions and business units, co-created with the SANY Foundation: The overseas CSR project "Night Guardian" was launched in Germany to improve community children's travel safety using reflective materials; The domestic CSR project "Road Safety Guardian" was launched by SANY Heavy Truck in collaboration with the Changsha County Traffic Management Department, covering 1,000 trucks in the first batch to safeguard safe travel.

For a manufacturing enterprise whose business spans 180 countries and regions worldwide, upgrading charity from "equipment relief when disaster strikes" to a "replicable local responsibility system" is a pragmatic investment in long-term coexistence and mutual growth with local communities. The common point of the two CSR projects is "small and light"—not relying on heavy assets, but converting SANY's existing products and channels into visible safety increments for the community.

Charity partners and employees who deeply collaborated with SANY in disaster rescue, Takeok Education, and corporate charity were recognized on site. Three major experience zones within the factory building deconstructed abstract charity into touchable and participable on-site experiences: The NOW Man & Machine Zone used VR rocking chairs to simulate 8.0 magnitude earthquake shaking, and set up a "Golden 4 Minutes" CPR/AED emergency training and sandbox remote-controlled excavator "Rescue Battle" — allowing visitors to witness firsthand how construction machinery coordinates "human-machine linkage" to rescue life channels from ruins; The FUTURE Man & Technology Zone set up engineering construction challenges such as wind power generation, small-scale lifting, and industrial assembly lines, putting engineering thinking into participants' hands; The TOGETHER Man & Man Zone allowed participants to experience accompanying visually impaired runners, weaving companion running bracelets, DIY glowing reflective stickers, recording "Sound Post Office" postcards, and generating electricity through cycling, turning kindness to neighbors and strangers into visible and tangible interactive experiences. Outside the exhibition area, the "Good World Exploration Journey" wall sorted out SANY's major charity milestones from the 2008 Wenchuan Rescue to the present, giving a time coordinate to "why do charity".

In the nearly forty years, SANY has participated in the development process of China and the world through construction machinery, and charity is the extension of its original intention. From domestic Wenchuan earthquakes and Tibet landslides to cross-border rescue actions such as Chilean mining disasters, Turkish earthquakes, and Indonesian floods, SANY has always responded to common human challenges with engineering wisdom. As written in the foreword of the report: "When the power of construction machinery is infused with kindness and foresight, it can become a key engine to drive social progress and address global challenges."

SANY stated that it will continue to be led by globalization, digital intelligence, and low-carbonization strategies in the future, joining hands with global partners, communities, and employees to forge a safer, fairer, more prosperous, green, and sustainable good world — Forging the Future Together.

Car News reported on October 28, that previously, ThunderSoft officially launched AquaDrive AIOS (AquaDrive AIOS) 3.0, further extending AI from in-vehicle voice interaction to task execution, interface generation, and system control.

It is understood that AquaDrive AIOS 3.0 possesses three core capabilities: autonomous generation, autonomous fusion, and autonomous control. It can dynamically generate interaction interfaces based on user intent, integrate functions such as navigation, panoramic view, and automatic parking, and execute travel-related tasks via natural language.

At the press conference venue, ThunderSoft also displayed a demonstration platform modified based on mass-production vehicle models, presenting the application effects of the next-generation AIOS in automobiles.

Besides automotive business, ThunderSoft also launched multiple achievements including TurboX Autonomous Intelligent IoT Platform, Robotics and Embodied AI Solutions, Veda AI Glasses Solutions, and many other results.

At the subsequent media briefing session, ThunderSoft management further responded to industry concerns such as Agent integration in vehicles, OEMs developing AIOS in-house, cockpit-driving integration, whole-vehicle AI control, and automotive business expansion overseas.

This released AquaDrive AIOS 3.0 is a next-generation AI operating system launched by ThunderSoft for smart vehicles, with key upgrades to autonomous generation, autonomous fusion, and autonomous control capabilities.

First is autonomous generation, traditional smart cockpits mainly rely on pre-designed menus and application interfaces for operation, while AquaDrive AIOS 3.0 can dynamically generate corresponding interaction interfaces based on user intent, vehicle status, and real-time scenarios.

For example, after the user states a travel requirement, the system can organize relevant information, call corresponding services, without requiring the user to open different apps one by one.

Second is autonomous fusion, the new system attempts to further connect information related to the cockpit and driving, integrating lane-level navigation, vehicle surrounding environment, 360-degree panoramic view, and automatic parking functions, so that information from different systems can be presented in a more coherent manner.

Third is autonomous control, by introducing agent architecture, AquaDrive AIOS 3.0 can understand natural language commands, perform task planning, and call relevant in-vehicle functions to complete operations.

Compared to traditional voice assistants executing fixed commands, the new system focuses more on the planning, execution, and result feedback of complex tasks.

In the on-site demonstration, ThunderSoft built a demonstration platform based on the Chery Tiggo 8 (Parameters | Images) mass-production vehicle model, demonstrating the technical capabilities of the above applications.

It is worth noting that ThunderSoft's exploration of automotive AI is not limited to smart cockpits.

At the media briefing session, ThunderSoft disclosed that the company has participated in projects of some automakers linking chassis, suspension and other systems with AI, and is exploring the application of AI in areas such as extended-range system energy management and air conditioning energy saving.

Its technical approach is to combine information such as vehicle location, navigation route, road gradient, ambient temperature, and user habits, and optimize the operating status of different vehicle systems with AI assistance.

From a product positioning perspective, ThunderSoft hopes to use the AIOS platform to connect different chips, models, and in-vehicle systems, and co-develop smart automotive products for different brands with automakers.

At the end of the event, ThunderSoft Co-founder & Executive President Geng Zengqiang and Song Yang, General Manager of Smart Auto Product Center of ThunderSoft, accepted group interviews from media including Car News.

Below is the interview transcript, which was excerpted by Car News without changing the original meaning.

▲ Media Briefing Session Site

Q1: Currently, many automakers and tech companies are developing Edge AI and AI operating systems. What differentiated advantages does ThunderSoft have?

Song Yang: Our first advantage is platform neutrality. We can provide full-stack AIOS products and solutions based on customer data, ecosystem, and product concepts.

Cooperation mainly has two models: one is to directly provide Agents, AIOS products, etc. to automakers; the other is to help automakers build their own AIOS platforms.

For example, we established a joint venture with Geely, and also cooperated with other automakers to develop related products.

We hope to gradually transform from a service-oriented company to a product-oriented company, providing complete technical solutions for automakers. The final products may be launched under the automakers' own brands, but the underlying layer uses our technology and solutions.

Q2: After AquaDrive AIOS enters the 3.0 stage, what are ThunderSoft's plans for expanding automotive business overseas?

Song Yang: We laid out overseas very early, especially in automotive business. Currently, the overseas automotive-related team exceeds 1,000 people, covering multiple major automotive markets in Europe and Asia.

In Europe, we acquired two companies engaged in automotive HMI and 3D vision related businesses, accumulating technical capabilities such as automotive interaction, panoramic view, DMS, and OMS.

In markets such as Vietnam, Japan, South Korea, India, and Malaysia, we also have local teams.

A major challenge for automotive AI going overseas is localization. For example, a Southeast Asia project we recently contacted needs to support eight languages, and each language requires native speakers to participate in testing, development, and verification.

Not only language, but living habits, driving habits, and interaction needs of users in different countries are also different, requiring local teams to participate in development.

We believe that Chinese automotive overseas expansion is shifting from pure vehicle sales to a new stage of building local R&D and service capabilities.

Currently, we have also participated in overseas AI projects of multiple Chinese automakers. With Chinese automakers establishing larger R&D teams overseas, the overseas market will become an important development direction for ThunderSoft's automotive business in the next stage.

Q3: Currently, Agent integration in vehicles has not formed a clear application direction. What problems does ThunderSoft believe Agent integration in vehicles actually needs to solve?

Song Yang: Last year, everyone was still discussing what is the most important application of automotive AI, whether it is ordering food, navigation, or other functions.

But this year the direction has changed.

With the development of Master Agent and other technologies, we no longer need to select one most important application. Instead, we hope to connect the original Agents and Apps through a more intelligent system.

In the past, users needed to open different apps to complete navigation, food ordering, etc. operations. Now AI can autonomously plan tasks, call APIs, and generate corresponding interaction interfaces based on user requirements.

In other words, automotive AI is shifting from function calls under fixed scenarios to a system capable of autonomous thinking, orchestration, and task execution.

We believe that an important direction for the next-generation automotive AIOS is to enable AI to not only communicate with users but also truly complete tasks.

Q4: From early AquaClaw related solutions to AquaDrive AIOS 3.0, what changes have occurred in ThunderSoft's automotive agent architecture?

Song Yang: The products we displayed before the Beijing Auto Show were mainly about remotely controlling the car via mobile phone. For example, users say a sentence, and the vehicle can be prepared in advance and the car door opened.

In the second stage, we started to attempt deploying AquaClaw and other agent architectures inside the vehicle system, allowing AI to execute tasks directly.

But during application, we found two problems: one is that models may produce hallucinations, and the other is that response speed is not fast enough.

For example, if the user requests to open a car window, and the command needs multiple processing through the cloud and edge side, it may cause hundreds of milliseconds or even one or two seconds of latency, affecting the experience.

Therefore, in the third stage, we still retain Harness and other agent architectures, but re-split the different service call methods.

For commands like opening a car window that require fast response, it can be completed via more direct service calls without going through a complete complex task planning process.

At the same time, we are also deploying more models and agent capabilities to the edge side to reduce response latency, Token usage costs, and improve system controllability.

▲ ThunderSoft Co-founder & Executive President Geng Zengqiang

Geng Zengqiang: We adopt a model-neutral approach and are not bound to a single model vendor.

For example, the voice model can choose Doubao, and the reasoning model can choose Qwen, DeepSeek, or other solutions according to needs.

The system will also assign tasks based on the vehicle-side computing power situation. If vehicle-side computing power is sufficient, more computation is placed locally; if insufficient, it relies more on the cloud.

The cloud can also choose different models based on task complexity. Simple tasks use lightweight solutions, and complex tasks call stronger models to balance experience and Token costs.

Q5: More and more automakers emphasize full-stack self-research. What customers is ThunderSoft's AIOS mainly targeting? How does it cooperate with automakers?

Geng Zengqiang: Automakers can roughly be divided into two categories.

The first category is new force automakers. They themselves have strong software capabilities and emphasize full-stack self-research, with core technologies usually controlled by themselves. We also cooperate with these enterprises, but primarily participate in some technologies and product development.

The second category is traditional automakers and international automakers.

These enterprises previously relied heavily on suppliers to provide software and hardware. Now they hope to gradually build their own software R&D capabilities, but it is not easy to fully achieve autonomous development in a short period.

Therefore, they usually adopt a walking on two legs approach: on the one hand, building their own R&D teams, and on the other hand, cooperating with technology suppliers to accelerate product development and iteration.

This is also our currently larger customer base.

For example, the joint ventures established with Geely and Volkswagen embody this cooperation model.

Our positioning is not to let all automakers use the same set of ThunderSoft brand AIOS, but to help automakers build their own platforms.

Automakers need to master core parts with differentiated competitiveness, while differentiated basic platform capabilities can be reused more mature solutions, co-developed through product plus service methods.

This year the growth of automotive business was better than our previous expectations, mainly for two reasons.

One is that automotive software is becoming increasingly complex. Suppliers not only need to possess traditional cockpit development capabilities but also AI cockpit development capabilities, and integrate the two.

The second is that automakers' development demand for next-generation AIOS has increased significantly, and everyone wants to apply new technologies to products as soon as possible.

Additionally, new opportunities have emerged in overseas business.

Some international automakers are beginning to reconsider supply chain strategies, expanding the use scope of Chinese supply chains in regions outside the US market to reduce costs and improve development efficiency.

This year we also obtained software and hardware projects from international automakers such as Mazda.

Q6: Currently, AquaDrive AIOS 3.0 mainly showcases cockpit capabilities. In the future, can it further control other systems such as powertrain, chassis, and body?

Song Yang: We are already exploring these directions with automakers.

For example, Chery previously displayed a Daddy Cockpit Concept Demo Vehicle. In addition to controlling functions such as air conditioning and car windows via natural language, it can also make systems such as chassis suspension participate in in-vehicle interaction.

One scenario is that when the vehicle plays a movie, let suspension movement, body posture, and air conditioning vents coordinate with the screen, forming an experience similar to a 4D cinema.

But this also involves an important issue, which is how to ensure safety.

From a technology development perspective, with cockpit-driving integration and computing chip capability improvement, the functions that AIOS can call in the future will increase more and more.

We are currently still discussing extended-range vehicle energy management solutions with one automaker.

For example, for a car adopting a 1.6T extended-range engine equipped with 20 to 30 kWh batteries, how to let the engine always work in a more economical range according to different road conditions?

We hope to introduce information such as navigation route, road gradient, temperature, traffic conditions, and user habits into the AI model to assist in optimizing engine operation strategies and vehicle energy management.

Similar directions also include air conditioning energy saving. We have already developed related AI solutions for automakers, hoping to comprehensively adjust the air conditioning according to environmental conditions inside and outside the car and user needs, rather than relying solely on fixed temperature thresholds.

Additionally, we are also exploring connecting different systems such as air suspension and smart chassis through unified protocols.

Long-term, we hope automobiles can form a unified intelligent computing platform. Under the premise of meeting safety requirements, one intelligent system coordinates more whole-vehicle functions.

With the progress of electrical/electronic architecture and chip technology, AIOS has the opportunity to further evolve from a cockpit operating system to an intelligent system for the whole vehicle.

With the acceleration of large models and agent technologies into vehicles, smart cockpits are evolving from traditional human-machine interaction systems to AI operating systems capable of understanding user intent and autonomously executing tasks.

The release of this AquaDrive AIOS 3.0 reflects ThunderSoft's further layout in the field of automotive AI. From agent interaction to cockpit-driving integration, and then to whole-vehicle energy management, ThunderSoft is attempting to expand AI capabilities to more vehicle systems.

However, whether relevant technologies can truly achieve scaled mass production still needs to address issues such as response speed, system safety, and engineering adaptation. For ThunderSoft, how to transform its own technical accumulation into products that are mass-producible and continuously iteratable by automakers will be the key to the next stage.

August 26, Dongfeng Automobile Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Dongfeng Shares", Stock Code: 600006) officially released the 2026 Semi-Annual Report. During the reporting period, Dongfeng Shares firmly grasped the opportunities for green and intelligent transformation in the commercial vehicle industry, anchored on the development directions of new energy and internationalization, steadily improved operating quality, and delivered a mid-year report with steady improvement and positive trends.

Lotus Group (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Geely Holding Group) H1 2026 financial report is now out, this financial report has some highlights; as the enterprise clarified the narrowing of loss area, and simultaneously clarified the sales performance of the brand in different markets, let's take a look at the detailed data below.

Key data includes:

• Global sales grew 39% year-on-year
• Revenue $268 million (approx. RMB 1.801 billion)
• Gross margin 10%
• China region sales growth rate 60%, Americas market growth 45%, other regions growth 164%
• Operating loss narrowed 63%, operating loss narrowing ratio excluding one-time authorization fee refund impact is 26%

On August 21, 2026, Geely Holding completed 100% equity acquisition of Lotus UK; at this point its UK Hethel factory and Lotus Engineering consulting business are all completed internal integration; before this, Geely Holding only held 51%, Etika held 49%, such a joint venture state would affect Lotus development decisions, because Etika has veto rights on important decisions. Conversely, after full acquisition can completely break free from Etika's interference.

Believe the future will no longer have Lotus Engineering team handle tuning of certain group brand direct competitors situation, knowing that Xiaomi SU7 Ultra Nürburgring version was tuned by Lotus Engineering team.

The previous 'Lutess' is the current Lotus Automobile.

Clearly Lotus Car's name sounds better, why call it 'Lutess' before?

Lotus translates to Lotus (flower), Lutess is the phonetic translation of the word; and the reason for using Lutess this phonetic translation name was 'Lotus' trademark was already grabbed registered, then Lutess Car negotiated trademark transfer with the company unsuccessfully, so could only use phonetic translation name. But what belongs to who is belongs to who, Lotus Car is very important to the brand; subsequently Lotus launched rights protection via litigation, finally obtained 'Lotus' trademark, later changed brand name.

Believe old drivers still remember another car brand related to Lotus, this brand is 'Youth Lotus.'

However the one who grabbed this trademark was not Youth Lotus Car, but an auto parts company, now unnecessary to mention this company again; just need to explain, otherwise might wrongly accuse Youth Lotus Car. However Youth Lotus Car might not care, because Youth Lotus Car was a sub-brand launched by Zhejiang Youth Auto Group in 2006 in cooperation with Malaysia's Proton Group, Proton Car acquired the Lotus parent company in 1996, but purchased only 'Lotus Engineering' chassis tuning service.

Subsequently the Youth Auto Group wanted to register and use the Lotus Car brand, but also because of trademark registration issues could not use it; later could only use the 'Youth Lotus' brand name which was borderline.

The car products built by Youth Lotus Car were actually Proton GEN-2, not Lotus whole vehicles, technology aspect also had no deep Lotus participation; so product competitiveness was actually relatively limited, Youth Lotus brand name also seemed slightly strange in Chinese context, brand appeal was obviously not strong enough.

So in 2012 the cooperation between the two parties broke down, Youth Auto went bankrupt and liquidated in 2017.

Thus Youth Lotus Car became a thing of the past, however recently happened to encounter one by chance, it already looks quite aged. As for the future, naturally there is only one Lotus Car, no need to use the Lutess name anymore.

At the current juncture where the century-old auto industry is entering a critical crossroads of deep transformation, data has become the key to decoding trends and insight into the future. On July 11, during the 23rd Changchun International Auto Expo, Cui Dongshu, Secretary-General of the China Passenger Car Association, released authoritative industry data on the national passenger car market with the theme "Global Auto Trade Layout and Overseas Mobility Scene Ecosystem Construction". This release not only outlines the grand picture of the global restructuring of the auto industry, but also, with detailed coordinate parameters, marked a clear course of "gathering momentum for innovation, building dreams and moving forward" for Changchun and even the Chinese auto industry.

I. Observing the Change in Scale: Global Landscape Deeply Reshaped, Chinese Engine Momentum Strong

Cui Dongshu pointed out in the release that the global auto market is undergoing a historic reshuffle from stock game to incremental restructuring. Growth in traditional markets such as Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea is tending to saturate, competition is fully shifting from "incremental expansion" to "stock substitution"; while emerging forces represented by China are rewriting the industry map with an irresistible momentum.

Looking to the long term, this change has far from reached the end. Cui Dongshu deeply analyzed in the data release: The current world car sales volume is maintained at a scale of 96 million vehicles, and with the full rollout of electrification transformation, the long-term space of the global car market is expected to break through 150 million vehicles — this is not only the inevitable direction of industrial change, but also the grand blue ocean for Chinese cars to go global. The world auto pattern is being completely reshaped due to electrification, Chinese car exports will usher in continuous surge, breaking through the 10 million mark in 2026 is just the prologue, and the growth space for the next 30 years remains boundless.

In 2026, against the background of diverging trends in the world auto market, Chinese car exports are expected to step into the 12 million vehicle scale quality era, continuously holding the top position globally, becoming the undisputed core engine driving world auto trade growth. What is particularly crucial is that China's new energy vehicles account for over 60% of the world share, and the plug-in hybrid field even occupies nearly 75% of the global share — this is not only a lead in scale, but also marks that China has firmly grasped the initiative in the global new energy vehicle industry definition and discourse rights.

II. Observing the Advantage in Structure: Three Major Scenes Penetrated Globally, Ecosystem Outbound Paradigm Upgraded

Data is the appearance, structure is the essence. Cui Dongshu emphasized that Chinese car exports have completely gotten rid of the old label of "low-end low-price", achieving a qualitative leap from "scale expansion" to "value output". This leap is concentrated in the precise penetration and ecosystem coverage of three major core overseas mobility scenes: In the private vehicle sector, relying on the combination of "affordable and easy to drive, service-backed", Chinese brands' market share in emerging markets such as Thailand and Indonesia has strongly broken through 60%; In the ride-hailing operation field, through the "customized vehicle models, exclusive finance, dedicated charging" full-link ecosystem, Chinese solutions are reshaping the ride-hailing business model in Southeast Asia; In the long and short-term rental scenes, "vehicle + full-dimension service" dispels overseas operators' deep concerns about asset value preservation. This set of data profoundly reveals a trend shift: The globalization of Chinese cars is no longer the trade output of single products, but the global replication of a complete green mobility solution of "vehicle + charging + maintenance + finance + digitalization" — a mature, profitable, and high-stickiness ecosystem closed loop is accelerating on the world map.

III. Observing the Window of Opportunity: Filling the Inclusive Gap, Changchun is Just the Right Time

Standing in the present and looking forward, Cui Dongshu's data analysis has marked a clear opportunity direction for the global auto industry. He pointed out that the current global market has a structural gap of "high-end excess, insufficient inclusiveness" — this is exactly the core breakthrough for Chinese brands to break the deadlock. Whoever understands scenes and users better, and fills the vacuum of mass consumption and operation markets with high cost-performance and high practicality products, will grasp the initiative in global competition. Changchun, as the core hub of the Northeast Asian auto industry, possesses natural geographical advantages and mature logistics channels against Russia, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, and is exactly at the golden coordinate of the Chinese auto ecosystem outbound strategic fulcrum. The trend of "localized rooting, scenario-based deep cultivation, ecosystem coordination" revealed by this data release provides highly weighted decision reference and path guidance for Changchun and Northeast automotive companies to set sail overseas.

Data defines the present, trends indicate the future. As Cui Dongshu profoundly summarized in the release conclusion: "The globalization of China's auto industry has completed the leap from 'vehicle exports' to 'exporting global green mobility complete solutions'. Relying on diverse scenarios and whole industry chain advantages, we use products to make up for shortcomings, use models to build ecosystems, use industry to empower the world — this is not only the confidence of Chinese new energy vehicles leading the future, but also anchors the clear course for Changchun auto industry to explore the global market." This resounding judgment elevated a data release to a collective ignition of industry confidence.

A grand blueprint from "Chinese-made cars" to "Chinese-made global green mobility ecosystem" has been unfolded. We firmly believe, relying on the surging momentum of China's new energy vehicle whole industry chain, standing on the golden location of Changchun Northeast Asian opening hub, the Chinese auto industry will surely ride the wind and waves in the tide of global industrial change, with an irresistible momentum, sail towards a broader, greener, smarter new journey.
