China's first auto industry networking alliance was established

A few days ago, vehicle companies focusing on Foton Motor, together with China BeiDou satellite location service provider, 3G wireless communication provider, network software developer, network equipment provider and other industrial chain resources, set up an independent brand in China. "Beijing Automotive Internet of Things Industry Alliance."

This is China's first auto industry networking alliance. According to expert analysis, this will play a demonstration effect in solving the problem of low efficiency in the marketization of scientific and technological achievements in the automotive Internet of Things industry, as well as increasing the integration of resources in the industrial chain, which indicates that China’s auto companies have begun to move from simple manufacturing to production. The transformation of the service industry will promote the deep integration of the service industry and the manufacturing industry.

The Beijing Auto IoT Industry Alliance was initiated by Foton Motors. The alliance's vice chairman units include 18 companies and institutions including China Unicom, China Mobile, the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing and the China Storage Association Professional Committee. The alliance will provide users with high-quality automotive IoT intelligence services by integrating all resources, products and services within the industry alliance.

"I believe that the future of car networking will be just as necessary for the car as the seat belt and airbag protection." Huang Xiaoqing, president of the China Mobile Research Institute, said that the most likely first breakthrough in the Internet of Things applications will be car networking. If every vehicle in China is equipped with a mobile terminal and has an IoT sensor, this will have far-reaching significance for China's future development and impact.

It is learned that during the "12th Five-Year Plan" period, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will start from many aspects such as industrial planning and technical standards, and increase support for vehicle-mounted information services so as to promote the full development of the automotive Internet of Things industry.
