Het wordt een crossover die zich richt op het jeugdige publiek dat meestal actief is op sociale mediaplatforms. De auto zelf zal worden geproduceerd door Seres, de Chinese autofabrikant die ook achter Huawei's Aito merk zit.<\/p>\n<p>Vijf maanden geleden ontkende ByteDance publiekelijk zijn plannen voor de auto-industrie. Alle berichten over de plannen van de TikTok-moeder om voertuigen te produceren waren onjuist. Zaak gesloten. Maar volgens een gedetailleerd rapport van de Chinese media LatePost lanceert Seres Group deze maand een nieuw automerk, waarbij ByteDance wordt omschreven als \u201czeer betrokken\u201d.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Ge\u00eblektrificeerde crossover<\/h4>\n<p>De juridische entiteit achter het merk is Chongqing Saidou Technology, voorheen bekend als Landian Technology. Landian Technology is een dochteronderneming van Seres die vorige maand stilletjes van naam veranderde. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>De merknaam is nog niet bekendgemaakt, maar Chinese media verwijzen naar het project als de \u201cTikTok auto\u201d. Het eerste model wordt een crossover met zowel SUV- als sedanstyling, die wordt aangeboden in puur elektrische en range-extender versies. De doelgroep zijn jonge bestuurders die zeer ge\u00efnteresseerd zijn in connectiviteit, multimedia en gadgets.<\/p>\n<p>ByteDance speelt een belangrijke rol bij het vertalen van deze functies naar de auto, die gebruik zal maken van zijn<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Volcano Engine om zijn applicaties en software uit te voeren. Het digitale platform levert niet alleen een stemassistent of een muziek-app. Het zal zijn AI-model voor grote talen, Doubao, intelligente cockpitarchitectuur, content-ecosysteem en database vanaf de grond in het voertuig integreren. De strategie is gericht op hoge intelligentie en kosteneffectiviteit. Het TikTok-publiek is technisch onderlegd, maar niet noodzakelijk welvarend.<\/p>\n<h4>Nu al dominant<\/h4>\n<p>Dit is geen nieuwigheid voor de Chinese auto-industrie. Doubao van Volcano Engine is al het dominante AI-model in de Chinese auto-industrie. Het bedrijf kondigde aan dat Doubao is ge\u00efntegreerd in 145 automodellen van meer dan 50 merken, waaronder voertuigen van buitenlandse merken zoals de Mercedes-Benz GLC en de SAIC Volkswagen ID.ERA 9X. Het belangrijkste in dit geval is dat Doubao niet langer een toeleveringsproduct is, maar dat er een heel merk omheen wordt gebouwd.<\/p>\n<p>De cockpitversie van Doubao kan omgaan met routeplanning, parkeerassistentie en real-time conversatie. Het kan fungeren als reisgids en de route van de bestuurder aanpassen om het landschap of ori\u00ebntatiepunten optimaal te laten zien. Het kan de dichtstbijzijnde parkeerplaats bij de ingang van een gebouw vinden. Dit zijn geen gimmicks; dit zijn het soort functies die de onderscheidende factor zijn geworden in 's werelds grootste automarkt. De TikTok-auto is niet zomaar een nieuw merk, maar heeft wel een voorsprong.<\/p>\n<h4>Geen ambities met autonoom rijden<\/h4>\n<p>Volcano Engine ontwerpt niet het chassis, het batterijpakket of de ophanging van de crossover. Seres zal dat doen en het model produceren in zijn fabriek in Chongqing. En ByteDance heeft geen ambities op het gebied van autonoom rijden.<\/p>\n<p>Dit is anders dan de andere technologiepartner van Seres, Huawei, dat zijn eigen Qiankun smart driving stack heeft die op technisch niveau concurreert met Waymo en anderen. Beide bedrijven hebben hun krachten gebundeld in het merk Aito. En met succes. In drie jaar tijd bereikte Aito de mijlpaal van 1 miljoen geproduceerde voertuigen.<\/p>\n<p>Seres wordt in Europa ook gedistribueerd via lokaal geselecteerde dealers. Het merk heeft een internationaal marketing- en verkoopkanaal dat naar verluidt wordt klaargestoomd voor het nieuwe merk. Het project valt onder de afdeling global business.<\/p>\n<p>Als de naam TikTok op enigerlei wijze betrokken blijft, zou Seres een enorme kans laten liggen om gebruik te maken van de wijdverspreide bekendheid van het populaire sociale mediakanaal.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite earlier denials of the rumors, TikTok\u2019s parent company is preparing to launch a car in its home country, China.
