Revolutionizing Future Mobility with the Kunpeng Super Electric System
In response to global charging infrastructure gaps, XPENG introduced the Kunpeng Super Electric System. This next-generation solution brings together XPENG’s advancements in latest AI-defined mobility innovations – to deliver an unparalleled charging and range experience:
The XPENG Kunpeng Super Electric System is built on an 800V high-voltage silicon carbide platform, incorporating a 5C ultra-charging AI battery and a hybrid silicon carbide coaxial electric drive, offering industry-leading efficiency and reliability. It features an ultra-quiet range extender with noise levels as low as 1 dB, along with AI-driven power optimization that facilitates a seamless transition between pure electric and range-extended driving modes.
The system allows for rapid charging, with 1 km of range added per second, reaching 80% in just 12 minutes. The new XPENG S5 liquid-cooled ultra-fast charging station can even deliver over 1 kilometer of range per second. Equipped with the AI Battery Doctor, each battery undergoes active monitoring to optimize battery health, achieving up to 30% longer lifespan. With a pure electric range of 430 km and a combined range exceeding 1,400 km, the Kunpeng Super Electric System positions XPENG as a leader in efficiency, convenience, and reliability for global users in the future.
Turing AI Intelligent Driving System: A Game-Changer for Autonomous Mobility
XPENG’s flagship Turing AI Intelligent Driving System (NGP) is set to redefine autonomous mobility, integrating large AI models with high-powered cloud and in-vehicle systems. Developed in-house, the system is centered around XPENG’s proprietary Turing AI Chip – a world-first chip designed for AI vehicles, robots, and flying cars.
- High-Performance Turing AI Chip: With a 40-core processor, the Turing chip supports models with up to 30 billion parameters and delivers the power of three high-performance chips in one. Remarkably, the chip completed over 2,700 functional verifications in just 40 days, achieving three times the industry standard for development efficiency.
- Canghai Platform: Acting as the neural network for XPENG’s AI vehicles, the Canghai Platform supports full-scale L4 autonomous driving with enhanced safety features, 33x bandwidth, and 12x faster camera image processing, creating a foundation for full-scenario AI-enabled driving experiences.
XPENG’s Turing AI system marks a pivotal step toward L4 autonomy, with continual model updates from cloud-based models, ensuring a highly responsive, ever-evolving smart driving experience.
Reinventing the Smart Cockpit with XPENG AIOS
The XPENG AIOS brings a revolutionary approach to the smart cockpit by integrating GPT-4o large models directly into the vehicle, facilitating intuitive, human-like interaction. Driven by dual Turing AI chips, the system evolves continuously, learning user habits and adapting to individual preferences to provide an intelligent, anticipatory cockpit experience. XPENG AIOS further supports XPENG’s global vision with user compatibility worldwide.
Committed to delivering the latest technology to its customers, XPENG is launching a chip upgrade program for existing users, allowing for enhanced intelligent driving and cockpit functionality.
Vision for Future Mobility: Robotaxi, Flying Cars, and AI Robotics
Looking ahead, XPENG envisions a future where AI transforms mobility. At AI Technology Day, XPENG presented key advancements in Robotaxi, flying cars, and AI robotics:
- Robotaxi with Ultra Model: The Ultra model represents the future of fully autonomous driving, equipped with Turing chips and the Canghai Platform to deliver 3,000T of processing power with L4-level safety and hardware redundancy.
- XPENG AEROHT Modular Flying Car: XPENG’s pioneering flying car is a modular, mass-produced model with an intuitive single-stick control, allowing users to master flight in just minutes. The first public flight will be showcased in November, with pre-orders opening in December.
- XPENG AI Robot Iron: XPENG’s latest humanoid robot, developed over five years, has more than 60 joints and 200 degrees of freedom, with technology shared from XPENG’s AI vehicles. The robots have already been integrated into XPENG’s daily operations and focus on internal applications, such as factories and stores.
Reflecting on the past decade of technological progress, Chairman He Xiaopeng reaffirmed XPENG’s commitment to AI innovation. “XPENG’s systematized AI capabilities will be our most significant advantage as we continue to lead in AI-driven mobility,” he said.
