Chinese firms aren’t satisfied with dominating the global electric vehicle supply chain; they’re hell-bent on blazing the future of electric cars and even flying vehicles. Xiaomi and Xpeng, currently two of the largest technology/vehicle companies in China and the world, are making waves in the urban mobility segment thanks to their new and innovative vehicle designs.
Guangzhou, China-based EV maker Xpeng recently debuted the Voyager X2, an aircraft with vertical take-off and landing capabilities. This puts Xpeng at the forefront of the burgeoning flying car segment, an industry projected to reach a $1.8 billion valuation by 2032. Voyager X2 features an advanced AI control system as well as reliability and safety-related features such as emergency landing and obstacle detection protocols.
Xiaomi, on the other hand, is venturing into the electric vehicle segment with industry-leading innovations, such as a recently unveiled EV chassis with more than 2,000 horsepower. The tech giant achieved this massive output by using a quad-motor system that integrated two cutting-edge electric motors with two modern V8 engines.
In addition to generating such massive horsepower, the quad-motor setup allows for highly developed torque vectoring, providing enhanced handling when accelerating through corners. It also enables stability and control that’s equal to premium electric vehicles like the Mercedes G-Class. Advanced suspension systems developed alongside Bosch offer incredibly smooth rides in every condition.
However, regardless of the innovations they offer, Xiaomi and Xpeng will have an incredibly difficult time revolutionizing the transport industry. Xpeng’s electric aircraft will be subject to incredibly complex regulations designed to keep the airspace over densely populated regions safe.
Flying vehicles are still an incredibly new concept, and their efficacy is far from proven, something that will have to happen before policymakers undertake the herculean effort of creating new regulations for flying cars and integrating them into urban mobility regulations.
Xiaomi’s plans to enter the EV industry will also run into the typical challenges involved with launching new technology. This includes high production costs and the need for supportive infrastructure, an additional cost that could hamper the firm’s entry strategy. But despite the hurdles both firms are sure to face, their efforts have significant disruptive potential.
Xiaomi’s new EV chassis offers unprecedented performance and luxury for the high-end EV segment, while Xpeng’s flying electric vehicle could fundamentally change how people navigate cities in an increasingly congested world. Only time will tell how these innovations perform and whether they meet Xpeng and Xiaomi’s incredibly ambitious goals.
It is now up to other competitors in this space, such as Cenntro Electric Group Ltd. (NASDAQ: CENN) to plan effectively in order to survive in this rapidly evolving industry.
