Both rigid demand and vacuum, Lantu Dreamer creates a new blue ocean of high-end electric MPV
Looking at the current automotive industry, from the perspective of business travel, the MPV market is in strong demand, but the mainstream MPV market has been dominated by joint venture models and imported premium models for a long time. As the "national team" of high-end electric vehicles, Lantu Automobile is finding the evolutionary direction of MPVs in this race.
Looking back at the Chinese auto market, the "old three" represented by Santana, Fukang and Jetta opened people’s dream of a sedan. After that, the Chinese auto market ushered in a period of rapid development, and SUVs became the new favorite of Chinese consumers, and their market share continued to increase.
At present, the consumption level of the people has increased, and the material level has been greatly enriched. After the "three-child policy", the demand for MPV market has gradually increased.
"So far, there is no electric MPV on the market that really takes into account the needs of family travel and business travel. There is no MPV that really meets the family’s economic travel and can enjoy high-end quality. There is no high-end electric MPV that meets the current development trend." Lu Fang, CEO of Landmap Automobile, said frankly.
In this context, Landmap Dreamer emerged in response to the times, enriching Dongfeng’s high-end new energy product matrix and the domestic high-end new energy MPV market.
"Landmap Dreamers are forward-looking and creative, carrying Dongfeng’s dream, Landmap’s dream, and users’ dream of a better travel life," said You Zheng, a member of Dongfeng’s party committee standing committee and deputy general manager.
Leading user requests, Dongfeng "technology-based enterprises" drive to a new track
At present, the "dual carbon" strategy has become the main theme of industrial upgrading and technological competition, and the window period for new energy vehicles has arrived. On the first day of the auto show, representatives of nearly 30 state-owned enterprises such as China Merchants Group, COFCO Group, and China Southern Airlines came to the Lantu booth to visit and experience the Lantu Dreamer. They said that they will continue to deepen exchanges and cooperation with Lantu in ecological aspects, give full play to their advantages, and promote the implementation of the "dual carbon" strategy.
As one of the earliest companies in the industry to develop new energy vehicles, Dongfeng Company is market-oriented, customer-centric, and continues to make efforts on the new energy track to fulfill its responsibilities as a central enterprise.
"Lantu Dreamer is suitable for both business and family use. Our product is mainly considered from the functional perspective, and we develop this product according to customer needs, customer scenarios and customer environments." Zhu Yanfeng said in an interview that with the advancement of the "double carbon" strategy and the enhancement of people’s environmental awareness, automotive technology and products will usher in a comprehensive transformation and upgrading, and the trend of electrification and intelligence will also be more obvious.
Zhu Yanfeng also pointed out that in the transformation and upgrading, the achievements of the entire industrial system and brand improvement and technological self-reliance are gradually reflected. Whether it is new energy products, technologies, brand value, brand recognition, have ushered in a new upgrade.
As a high-end and upward exploration of the Dongfeng brand, since its establishment last year, Lantu Automobile has run out of "Lantu Efficiency" with the positioning of "new strength in car building". The launch of the first model, Lantu FREE, has won the trust of users with its high perceived value, excellent user experience and efficient and convenient direct sales model.
