Relying on Changan Group’s long-term “1+4+4+5” strategy, the company continues its global expansion through seven operational upgrades and next-generation hybrid technology.
BEIJING, April 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Changan Group officially launched the upgraded Vast Ocean Plan 2.0 at Auto China 2026, marking a new phase of its global expansion and reaffirming its long-term commitment to international markets. The Group also launched the BlueCore Hybrid versions of the fourth generation EADO and CS75 PLUS, bringing its latest hybrid technology to two flagship models.
The announcement builds on Changan’s 1+4+4+5 strategy, which prioritizes globalization as a fundamental long-term transformation and sets five doubling targets by 2030, including overseas vehicle sales.
“Today, we are launching the Vast Ocean Plan 2.0 with greater determination and a more open mindset,” said Zhao Fei, general manager of Changan Group. “We will continue to follow our core principles – long-term development, localization, systematization and responsible ESG practices – while evolving from an export-focused model to an integrated global operation spanning manufacturing, trade, investment, services and sustainability.
A stronger global roadmap
In 2025, Changan achieved 637,000 overseas sales, a year-on-year increase of 18.9%. It expanded into 21 new markets, launched 12 new models and is now present in 118 countries and regions with 1,124 points of sale. The Group operates 22 overseas manufacturing bases with an annual capacity of 350,000 units, and its global product portfolio reaches 41 models, including 25 fuel vehicles and 16 new energy vehicles.
The Vast Ocean Plan 2.0 transforms Changan’s globalization from “going global” to “taking root locally”. By 2030, the Group is targeting 1.5 million vehicle sales abroad, with an ambitious target of 1.8 million. Regionally, it aims to become a leader among Chinese brands in Europe, rank among the top 5 global brands in Eurasia, and enter the top 10 (with the ambition of top 5) in Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Africa, as well as Central and South America.
Updated Vast Ocean Plan: Seven Strategic Improvements
To achieve these goals, the plan focuses on seven strategic improvements: technology, product, brand, partnership model, investment, service and team. These upgrades will strengthen global competitiveness, support the five doubling goals and deliver high-quality mobility experiences to users around the world.
Advances in hybrid technologies and unmanned logistics
Along with the strategic upgrade, Changan introduced advanced technologies and new products. CHANGAN KAICHENG launched the Robovan unmanned logistics vehicle based on SDA architecture, equipped with multi-layer redundancy systems for safe last-mile delivery, and entered into in-depth cooperation with JD Logistics for batch delivery.
Changan’s BlueCore Hybrid, built on the iDE-H deep electrification intelligent hybrid architecture, integrates three main components and an intelligent control system, balancing energy efficiency, performance and quietness. The fourth generation EADO BlueCore Hybrid achieves a minimum tested fuel consumption of 1.6 L/100 km, a daily average of 3.87 L/100 km and a full tank range of 1,500 km. Backed by 1,500 fundamental patents, it has completed 20,000 hours of bench testing and 2 million kilometers of road testing. The fourth-generation CS75 PLUS BlueCore Hybrid features fuel consumption of approximately 3 L/100 km and segment-exclusive CDC suspension for improved comfort and stability.
Additionally, AVATR’s VISION XPECTRA debuted in Asia, with AVATR 12 and 06T also revealed; DEEPAL introduced six models, including the recently launched L06 REEV.
