Academician Huang Boyun from the Chinese Academy of Engineering was delighted to hear about this development and sent a video message of congratulations. In his congratulatory remarks, he said: "Through technological innovation, we have broken through the barriers of technological blockade. From aviation braking systems to automotive brakes, our goal is not just to replace existing solutions—but to surpass them in both performance and quality. This is the true power of China's new materials!"
The grand delivery ceremony for the Hozon SSR attracted over 300 professional automotive media outlets to cover the event simultaneously, while also inviting renowned race car drivers and prominent figures from the supercar community to share insights into the evolution of China's automotive technology. As a representative from Hozon SSR's supply chain, Mr. Wang Bingquan, Senior Vice President of the company, was invited to participate in the live guest interview session. Mr. Wang emphasized that the era of electric-powered supercars is an inevitable trend of the future, and Hozon SSR has already taken the lead in turning this vision into reality—describing the SSR as a "mobile technology hub." In terms of advanced materials, the SSR boasts a powerful combination of cutting-edge innovations, including a carbon-fiber composite body, carbon-ceramic brake discs, and high-performance thermoplastic tires. These breakthrough materials not only significantly reduce the vehicle's weight but also dramatically enhance its overall performance. With Hozon's unwavering commitment to technological innovation, the brand is poised to propel Chinese supercars onto the global stage!
