TREE NEWS update: Changan Automobile said on September 29 that it has established a new AD Synergy Development Department to advance strategic coordination between its Deepal and Avatr brands, focused mainly on sharing middle- and back-office resources. The company said brand positioning and plans remain unchanged and user rights will not be affected, with the shared resources aimed at avoiding duplicate investment and waste. Detailed division of labor and rollout plans have not yet been disclosed.
Changan Auto Sets Up AD Synergy Dept for Deepal and Avatr
This is a cost-discipline move more than a product one: Changan is trying to stop two EV brands from funding the same back-office capabilities twice, a common problem when premium and mass-market lines scale in parallel. The explicit promise that positioning and user rights stay untouched suggests the company knows badge separation is part of what buyers pay for. The open question is where synergy stops — whether shared middle- and back-office functions eventually creep into platform or software decisions that shape the cars themselves.
