5月18日，岚图汽车与王国栋院士团队共建的院士工作站成立，这是东风汽车整车厂、湖北省新能源汽车首个院士工作站。

双方将深化产学研融合，携手攻关下一代汽车新材料技术，进一步提高汽车安全性、轻量化、低碳化等水平。

中国工程院院士、东北大学教授王国栋，东北大学党委常委、副校长、教授王辉，东风汽车党委副书记、工会主席刘艳红，湖北省科协党组成员、副主席孙建刚，武汉市科协党组书记、副主席胡军，武汉经开区管委会副主任孙智波，岚图汽车党委书记、董事长卢放等出席揭牌仪式。

王国栋院士是我国材料加工与成形领域的权威。他带领的团队长期聚焦高性能钢铁材料研发，全球首创2000兆帕激光拼焊技术，并将汽车用钢强度从1500兆帕推至2200兆帕。此前，岚图汽车已与该团队合作实现2200兆帕热成形钢技术在岚图多款车型上搭载。 院士工作站将聚焦新材料、新工艺开展系统性研发，布局前沿技术，打造高竞争力汽车新材料产品。同时，岚图汽车将携手院士团队共同培育新能源汽车高端技术人才。

在揭牌仪式上，刘艳红表示，希望岚图汽车以院士工作站为载体，集中力量攻克难题，让“技术强”;真正转化为“产品强”，同时加快培养复合型人才队伍，为东风汽车储备坚实的创新力量。东风汽车将全力支持院士工作站的建设与发展，做好服务，为各项科研攻关工作提供坚实保障和广阔空间。

王国栋表示，岚图汽车始终坚持自主创新，在整车研发、智能制造等领域成果丰硕，展现出民族汽车品牌的责任与担当。他和团队成员将以工作站为平台，与岚图汽车一道攻克技术难题，产出高端成果，打造标杆项目，助力岚图汽车提升核心竞争力。

On May 18th, the academician workstation jointly built by Lantu Automobile and Academician Wang Guodong's team was established, which is the first academician workstation of Dongfeng Motor Corporation and Hubei Province's new energy vehicles.

Both parties will deepen the integration of industry, academia, and research, work together to tackle the next generation of automotive new material technologies, and further improve the levels of automotive safety, lightweighting, and low carbonization.

Wang Guodong, academician of the CAE Member and professor of Northeastern University, Wang Hui, member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee, vice president and professor of Northeastern University, Liu Yanhong, deputy secretary of the Party Committee and chairman of the trade union of Dongfeng Motor, Sun Jiangang, member of the Party Leadership Group and vice chairman of Hubei Association for Science and Technology, Hu Jun, secretary and vice chairman of the Party Leadership Group of Wuhan Association for Science and Technology, Sun Zhibo, deputy director of the Management Committee of Wuhan Economic Development Zone, Lu Fang, secretary of the Party Committee and chairman of Landu Motor, and others attended the unveiling ceremony.

Academician Wang Guodong is an authority in the field of material processing and forming in China. His team has long focused on the research and development of high-performance steel materials, pioneered the world's first 2000 megapascal laser welding technology, and pushed the strength of automotive steel from 1500 megapascals to 2200 megapascals. Previously, Lantu Automobile had collaborated with the team to implement 2200 megapascal hot formed steel technology on multiple Lantu models. The academician workstation will focus on systematic research and development of new materials and processes, layout cutting-edge technologies, and create highly competitive automotive new material products. At the same time, Lantu Automobile will work together with a team of academicians to cultivate high-end technical talents for new energy vehicles.

At the unveiling ceremony, Liu Yanhong expressed her hope that Lantu Automobile would use the academician workstation as a carrier to concentrate its efforts on tackling difficult problems and making it "technologically strong"; Truly transforming into a 'strong product', while accelerating the cultivation of a composite talent team, to reserve a solid innovative force for Dongfeng Motor. Dongfeng Motor will fully support the construction and development of academician workstations, provide good services, and provide solid guarantees and broad space for various scientific research and development work.

Wang Guodong stated that Lantu Automobile has always adhered to independent innovation and has achieved fruitful results in vehicle research and development, intelligent manufacturing, and other fields, demonstrating the responsibility and commitment of a national automobile brand. He and his team members will use the workstation as a platform to work together with Lantu Automotive to overcome technical challenges, produce high-end results, create benchmark projects, and help Lantu Automotive enhance its core competitiveness.
