The reporter then contacted several relevant industry insiders and said that Dongfeng and Changan announced on the same day that the two major central enterprises may be reorganized. It is understood that at present, the automobile central enterprises directly supervised by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council include FAW Group, Dongfeng Group and Changan Automobile. In the past two years, three central automobile companies have accelerated their transformation to new energy, completing direct investment of new energy vehicles by nearly 36 billion yuan in 2023, with an investment proportion of more than 60%. Since 2024, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council has frequently sent out signals of increasing efforts to develop new energy vehicles, and has provided support from assessment, innovation, integration and other aspects.
