Changan Automobile and JD forge strategic partnership

Changan Automobile and JD signed a strategic cooperation agreement on Oct 15, marking a pivotal advancement in their collaborative efforts.

The partnership involves Changan's five major brands — Avatr, Deepal, Qiyuan, among others — and JD's retail and logistics divisions.

Changan and JD have built a strong foundation in user marketing, after-sales service ecosystems, and refined inventory management, which have contributed to significant cost reductions and efficiency improvements.

During JD's "Double 11" shopping festival in 2024, the companies launched new vehicles, enhancing the automotive shopping experience for consumers.

A significant milestone in their collaboration is the completion of the China Changan Automobile Intelligent Interaction Center project. This project has upgraded the customer service systems for all five brands, marking a transition from basic intelligent customer service infrastructure to more advanced AI applications.

Changan and JD plan to engage in extensive, multi-domain cooperation, aiming to explore the development of smart urban logistics vehicles and intelligent operating systems.

The partnership will focus on designing, developing, and producing new energy autonomous intelligent vehicles, thereby creating a comprehensive, multi-level, modular automotive supply chain logistics solution.

A key aspect of this strategic agreement is the partnership between Changan Kaicheng and JD Logistics to co-develop customized smart logistics vehicles. The initiative aims to enhance logistics efficiency through intelligent solutions, transitioning smart logistics vehicles from technical validation to large-scale application.
