From November 24 to 29, 2025, an international industry internship, organized by the Dynamics of Mobility Educational and Methodological Center, took place in Beijing. The event was attended by a Russian delegation, including representatives of the Russian State Research Center NAMI, as well as students, faculty, and researchers from more than ten leading Russian universities training personnel for the domestic automotive industry. Vladimir Filatov, Director of the Engineering Project Management Center, represented the State University of Management at the internship.
From the office to the climate chamber
The program included visits to key players in the Chinese automotive industry. Delegates learned about the operations of the engineering company IAT, visiting its headquarters and innovation labs, including VR zones and climate chambers, and discussing vehicle design processes. Participants also visited the Beifang Group's education center, where they learned about modern engineering training methods and equipment, and the BAIC plant, which specializes in SUV production.
The internship provided Russian specialists and students with the opportunity to gain first-hand experience with advanced technologies, production, and educational practices in the Chinese automotive industry, as well as establish professional contacts for future collaboration. The event made a significant contribution to the development of scientific, technical, and educational partnerships between Russia and China in the automotive sector.
From license to leadership
Over the past ten years, the Chinese automotive industry has made a leap from licensed production to world-class, in-house development. This reflects a global trend: technological leadership is gradually shifting toward China. The largest Chinese automakers long ago stopped copying Western designs. Today, they are developing their own architectures, platforms, and designs, demonstrating particularly strong leadership in the electric and hybrid vehicle segments, which account for nearly 60% of global sales.
The success of the Chinese auto industry is built on four powerful pillars: government and corporate support, the development of domestic battery production (CATL, CALB), flexible and locally integrated supply chains, and a rapid pace of model lineup innovation—new generations of cars appear every two to three years. Recently, our president, in an interview with Nomad TV, praised the Chinese auto industry: "Products have begun to appear in the People's Republic of China that are more competitive than European ones. The latest example is electric cars. Well, the Chinese make them better and cheaper than the Europeans. The European auto industry is simply crumbling," Vladimir Putin said. And we at the State University of Management are always ready to adopt and improve on the best global practices.
