AITO concluded its seven-day, 7,000-plus-kilometre quality road test in Shanghai on August 17, with a fleet travelling from Xinjiang's westernmost point through Gang Rinpoche and Lhasa. The route covered highways, national and provincial roads, and urban streets, descending from 4,500 metres to near sea level with temperature swings exceeding 20 degrees Celsius. Assisted-driving, range, power and braking systems performed reliably under extreme conditions. AITO reached 1 million cumulative deliveries in 46 months, a record for Chinese luxury new-energy brands, and ranks first among Chinese luxury marques in Brand Finance's global brand value list.
On August 17, AITO's quality long-distance road test concluded successfully in Shanghai. The seven-day event covered more than 7,000 kilometres, with the fleet departing from the westernmost point of Xinjiang and passing through Gang Rinpoche (Mount Kailash) and Lhasa before arriving in Shanghai.
The fleet travelled along renowned routes including National Highways 219 and 318, crossing complex terrain such as highland snow mountains and Gobi desert, and passing landmark sections including the 72 Bends and the Mila Mountain tunnel complex. The route encompassed highways, national roads, provincial roads, township roads and urban streets. Altitude descended from a 4,500-metre plateau to near-sea-level plains, with day-night temperature differences exceeding 20 degrees Celsius. Under extreme conditions including high-altitude oxygen deficiency, blowing sand and dust, and strong glare and backlight, AITO's assisted-driving functions proved reliable across all complex road conditions, while range, power and braking capabilities withstood extreme operating conditions and maintained stable performance.
AITO pledged to continue extending the full lifecycle of vehicles through software and service innovation, maximising vehicle value, keeping existing models fresh through regular updates, and ensuring users feel pride and safety throughout their ownership period.
AITO surpassed 1 million cumulative deliveries in just 46 months, setting a record for delivery speed among Chinese luxury new-energy vehicle brands.
