The company operates extensive R&D facilities in China, Japan, Italy, and the United Kingdom, supporting global design and technology development.
Changan has made electrification a central pillar of its long term strategy, investing heavily in battery electric, plug in hybrid, and hydrogen fuel cell technologies. The company's "Shangri-La Plan" outlines its roadmap for full electrification, targeting the phase out of pure combustion vehicles in the coming decade. Core models such as the Deepal SL03, Deepal S7, and UNI-K iDD showcase Changan's advances in smart connectivity, range optimization, and hybrid efficiency. The Deepal (Shenlan) sub brand operates as Changan's premium electric division, focusing on software defined vehicles and advanced driver assistance systems.
Changan also plays a major role in collaborative EV development through high profile joint ventures. It co founded AVATR with battery leader CATL and technology company Huawei, integrating CATL's battery expertise and Huawei's HarmonyOS and DriveONE systems into next generation premium electric vehicles. In addition, the company continues joint production and R&D ventures with global automakers such as Ford and Mazda, ensuring shared access to advanced platforms and component supply chains.
Beyond vehicles, Changan invests in battery pack production, electric drive units, and energy management systems, positioning itself as a vertically integrated manufacturer. The company's new generation EPA1 and EPA2 electric platforms support both mainstream and luxury segments, enabling scalable production for domestic and international markets. With a growing focus on intelligent mobility, connectivity, and autonomous driving, Changan is emerging as one of China's most technologically advanced and globally minded automakers in the new energy era.
