Currently, Shenlong Technology, which has completely abandoned the "foreign technology, Chinese market" model through a breakthrough restructuring, is accelerating its transformation into an innovation-driven technology enterprise, with a series of strategic measures being implemented one after another. In August this year, Shenlong Technology was officially established in Wuhan. Just one month later, on September 24, Shenlong Technology reached a global strategic cooperation with Momenta, the world's leading physical AI company. The two parties will carry out long-term in-depth cooperation around user experience, assisted driving, and high-level autonomous driving, jointly creating new energy products with "aesthetic pleasure, driving pleasure, and peace of mind." At the same time, as an important carrier of China-France industrial collaboration, in order to fully open up the industrial resource links between China and foreign countries, Shenlong Technology is also actively promoting the deep integration of the advantageous capabilities of all parties in China and France. At the Paris Motor Show, which opened on October 12, the next-generation electric and intelligent technologies and cutting-edge designs carried by multiple concept cars such as the Peugeot RCZ Vision, Peugeot E-T16 CONCEPT, and Citroën 2 CV are all expected to be introduced into Shenlong Technology's future products. In the future, Shenlong Technology will continue to help the two century-old French brands, Peugeot and Citroën, accelerate their renewal and inject strong momentum into the global renewal and development of French brands.
At this year's Paris Motor Show, the lineup of Peugeot and Citroën brands participating on their home turf was unprecedented in scale. The Peugeot booth adopted an all-new conceptual layout, vividly interpreting the unique charm of the brand's driving pleasure and its future vision. In terms of technology and products, the Peugeot RCZ Vision concept car made its world premiere. It is the ultimate expression of the brand's "Feline Future" design language and is equipped with Peugeot's newly developed Hypersquare® intelligent driving simulator, allowing users to intuitively experience the future form of the Peugeot i-Cockpit® intelligent cockpit. The car is purely electric, with a maximum output of 500 horsepower and a range of up to 600 kilometers. It is equipped with a 110mm solid-state battery and a 1000V architecture, and its fast charging time from 10% to 80% takes only 10 minutes.
The Peugeot E-T16 CONCEPT also completed its world premiere. It not only previews the next-generation PEUGEOT E-208, but also pays tribute to the 205 T16, which achieved excellent results in the 1985 and 1986 World Rally Championship. The car adopts a futuristic and aggressive design and is also the most powerful model in Peugeot's history, with a maximum output of 816 horsepower and acceleration from 0 to 300 km/h in only 16 seconds.
In addition, the all-new E-208 GTi was exhibited together with the legendary classic model 205 GTi, and the new and old sports models completed a dialogue across time and space at this moment. The 9X8, Peugeot's top-level racing car competing in the World Endurance Championship, also appeared at the booth, fully demonstrating Peugeot's outstanding R&D capabilities and innovative spirit. Models currently on sale, including the 208, 2008, 308, 308 SW, 408, 3008, and 5008, were also displayed together.
The Citroën brand's exhibition lineup was equally rich, with multiple new products also making their world premieres, among which the all-new 2 CV concept car attracted much attention. As a new-generation small electric vehicle, the Citroën 2 CV concept car has a body length of 3760mm, making driving and parking easier with the fun and agility of a small car. The future production version is expected to start at about 15,000 euros. In terms of styling, it retains the classic body proportions and curves of the 2 CV, while the interior emphasizes comfort, brightness, and warmth, creating a vibrant atmosphere. The Citroën Smart Vision display prioritizes key information within the driver's field of view, while the 8-inch square touchscreen enhances the vehicle's sense of technology. The Citroën C3 Aircross "French Navy" concept car also appeared, and the all-new Outdoor series, C5 Aircross Emeraude, and the new-generation electric Formula racing car GEN4 also gathered at the booth. Current models such as the C3, C3 Aircross, C4, C4 X, and C5 Aircross appeared together, fully demonstrating Citroën's innovation and breakthroughs in different fields.
From Paris to China, the technological heritage and brand DNA of Peugeot and Citroën are also continuously empowering the product layout of Dongfeng Peugeot and Dongfeng Citroën in the Chinese market. Recently, models such as the Dongfeng Peugeot 2027 5008, Dongfeng Peugeot 2027 4008, and Dongfeng Citroën 2027 Tianyi were renewed and launched, covering users' more diversified travel scenarios with continuously upgraded product strength, and providing users with French-style high-quality travel choices that combine style and reliability through craftsmanship and pragmatic sincerity.
As a new starting point for the transformation and development of Shenlong Automobile, Shenlong Technology relies on the advantages of its two major shareholders, Dongfeng Motor and Stellantis Group, and follows the layout of "development in Wuhan, manufacturing in Hubei, network globally" to create high-quality new energy travel products for global users. Among them, the first phase plans that all-new new energy models will be launched successively starting in 2027, including multiple power forms such as pure electric and plug-in hybrid, covering diverse scenarios such as off-road, urban commuting, and family travel. Shenlong Technology also plans to work with more industry-leading technology partners to jointly improve the intelligent layout in dimensions such as intelligent cockpits. Looking ahead, Shenlong Technology will join hands with Peugeot and Citroën to enter a new development stage of technology co-creation, brand co-building, and market win-win, opening a new strategic pattern of deep collaboration in the China-France automotive industry.
