22nd April 2026, Kathmandu
Changan Group has officially unveiled a comprehensive new development strategy aimed at securing a spot among the world’s top 10 car companies by 2030.
Changan’s Bold 1+4+4+5 Framework
The ambitious roadmap includes a revenue target of RMB 600 billion, signaling Changan’s intent to become a dominant force in the global automotive landscape.
The plan, titled the “1+4+4+5” Framework, was launched on April 21, 2026, during the Global Strategy Launch and Global Partner Conference in Chongqing, China. The event saw an audience of approximately 700 industry leaders and partners.
The “1+4+4+5” Framework: A Strategic Blueprint
Changan’s strategy is built on internally developed, high-tech foundations to create a world-class automobile brand. To achieve its 2030 vision, the company will focus on four core business pillars:
Vehicles: Developing next-generation passenger and commercial transport.
Components: Strengthening the supply chain through proprietary technology.
Services: Enhancing the customer lifecycle experience.
New-Gen Industries: Investing in emerging automotive ecosystems.
Four Transformations & Five Key Indicators
The group is pivoting toward becoming more Smart, Green, Global, and Connected. By 2030, Changan aims to double five critical performance indicators:
-
Electric Vehicle (EV) Sales
-
International Exports
-
Total Revenue
-
Profitability
-
Brand Value
“Changan is entering a new era filled with both transformation and opportunity,” stated Zhu Huarong, Chairman of Changan Group. He emphasized the company’s commitment to collaborating with industry partners to navigate this shift.
Global Expansion: The Three Pillars
To accelerate its international footprint, Changan is implementing three specialized sub-plans:
Green Plan: Focuses on strengthening EV technology and reducing carbon emissions across the entire vehicle lifecycle.
Intelligent Plan: Dedicated to providing a safer and smarter autonomous driving experience.
Vast Ocean Plan: Aims for robust international expansion that goes beyond simple exports, focusing on establishing localized brands and operations worldwide.
