Gasgoo Munich- On September 20, the "Smart Chassis Research & Global Synergy" Smart Chassis Innovation Technology Exhibition at SAIC Maxus, organized by Gasgoo, concluded successfully.Combining technical presentations, live demonstrations, and closed-door discussions, the event focused on suspension assemblies, braking chassis, and smart chassis. It brought together 17 top-tier supply chain companies and industry experts. The aim was to break down technical barriers between OEMs and their suppliers. It sought to accelerate the transition from R&D to mass production. It also aimed to precisely match core commercial vehicle chassis supply chains. It built an efficient platform for suppliers to connect with SAIC Maxus. This offered practical channels for deeper exchange and cooperation.Executive Tour and Opening RemarksShaping a New Ecosystem for Commercial Vehicle Smart ChassisAt the opening ceremony, Jiang Jinjing, Director of SAIC Maxus's Engineering Support Department, and Song Yanping, Director of the Chassis Department, toured the exhibition with attendees. Participating suppliers showcased their latest products and mass-production verification solutions, engaging with OEM experts on technical adaptability and production feasibility. Later, Li Jiangang, Deputy General Manager of SAIC Group's Quality & Technical Department, and Song Yanping delivered remarks.Li Jiangang noted that the auto industry is at a critical stage of intelligent transformation, with the smart chassis emerging as a key carrier of overall vehicle competitiveness. He emphasized that SAIC Maxus will focus on building core products that meet market demand, clarifying that the smart chassis is essential underlying support for high-level autonomous driving. On ecosystem cooperation, he stated that Maxus embraces an open attitude—setting no thresholds on company age or size. As long as the technology is solid, the product reliable, and the philosophy aligned, any firm can become a long-term partner.Song Yanping remarked that SAIC Maxus's product lineup spans light vans, pickups, MPVs, SUVs, RVs, and light trucks, sold in over 100 countries and regions. The company has completed a full-stack layout for smart chassis. He argued that commercial vehicle chassis stands at the intersection of three major trends—intelligence, off-road capability, and new usage scenarios—reshaping industry value and competition. He elaborated that the company has already mass-produced 18 controllers. It achieved the industry's first mass production of steer-by-wire technology. It also offers over 100 user experiences via its All-Terrain System 3.0. Moving forward, the company will push the transition from hardware-defined to software-defined chassis. It will drive lightweighting through materials and architecture. The company calls for collaboration to advance commercial vehicle smart chassis technology.Cutting-Edge Technology SharingInsights Collide to Reveal Industry TrendsThis segment established a platform for deep knowledge sharing, where guests from diverse business backgrounds exchanged views on key technologies, product innovation, and application practices.Su Jiankuan, Senior Manager of the Intelligent Control Section at SAIC Maxus's Chassis Department, presented on global product solutions.

He discussed the application prospects of these core materials in suspension systems.Technology Exhibition and Closed-Door Matchmaking17 Supply Chain Companies Spotlighted; One-on-One Precise NegotiationsAt the exhibition, 17 high-quality supply chain companies showcased their latest products. Participants included Shanghai Ruiping Technology, Datwyler Sealing Technologies, Dongguan Seso Technology, and Shanghai Tosun Technology. Solutions covered suspension assemblies, shaft components, braking chassis, and smart chassis.For the full list of participating supply chain companies and their corresponding products, visit the Gasgoo Global Automotive Industry Big Data Platform (autodata.gasgoo.com).In the afternoon, a closed-door exchange session was held. Experts from SAIC Maxus's Chassis Department engaged in one-on-one matchmaking with suppliers. The aim was to find solutions and link partners. This laid the groundwork for future projects.Through this event, SAIC Maxus established initial contact with several high-quality supply chain companies holding core technologies, providing more options for future technical selection and supply chain construction. It also offered a crucial opportunity for a batch of high-quality SMEs to showcase their capabilities and enter the supply chain system of mainstream commercial vehicle manufacturers.With this, the "Smart Chassis Research & Global Synergy" Smart Chassis Innovation Technology Exhibition at SAIC Maxus concluded successfully. This year marks the tenth anniversary of "Gasgoo Tech Day." Standing at this new starting point, we look forward to working with more OEMs and supply chain companies to convert innovative technologies into mass production applications faster. We plan to hold more technical exchange events in vertical sub-sectors. We will unblock communication links and promote the implementation of intelligent vehicle technologies.The excitement continues; the next journey is about to begin.
