Pozhigang, the leader of the global network connected automobile service, announced that it has established a partnership with Desai Xiwei, the world's leading overall solution provider of automotive electronics, to provide more Chinese drivers with complete parking services, including parking data and two-dimensional codes for in car parking payment.

Market leading parking information

By the end of 2021, China's car ownership has reached 302 million vehicles, but the number of open parking spaces nationwide is only 80 million, and "difficult parking" is rising to become one of the most troublesome problems for Chinese drivers. In 2021, according to the survey report of Parking Behavior of Chinese Drivers jointly released by Pozhigang and Zhongyan, 90% of drivers believe that "parking difficulty" is due to inaccurate parking information, and 70% of them hope that auto manufacturers can provide accurate parking information based on the technical support of the Internet of Vehicles.

Recently, the 2021 China Smart Parking Market Research Report released by Frost&Sullivan, a professional market research organization, showed that the data of Pozhigang is the most accurate and complete static and dynamic data in China, including closed and street car data. Pozhigang will provide industry-leading parking data of street parking lots and closed parking lots for Desai Xiwei, covering major cities and towns in China, to ensure high-quality parking experience for Chinese drivers.

Payment by scanning code in the vehicle

The survey also shows that Chinese drivers prefer to use the "scanning code payment" function, and only 1% of drivers are willing to use cash. One of the most popular ways is to pay parking fees by scanning QR codes on smart phones.

Pozhigang accurately collects the parking payment QR code of each parking lot, embeds it into the vehicle's infotainment system, and displays the exact parking lot location or parking space to the driver. Before leaving the parking lot, drivers can use their smartphones to scan the QR code on the screen of the car machine to pay the parking fee without getting off the car, so as to save the time waiting in line in front of the gate for payment or looking for the QR code in the parking lot for payment.

Hans Puvogel, chief operating officer of Port Pachi, said: "We are very pleased to be able to establish a partnership with Desai Xiwei to provide more Chinese drivers with a complete online parking service. The growth trend of driver centered driving experience shows that drivers of online and electric vehicles believe that parking information is a basic service. As an important part of the information and entertainment system services of Desai Xiwei, Port of Knowledge has been able to provide high-quality parking for automobile manufacturers and drivers The ability to experience the car and greatly reduce the time and energy required for parking. "

Qin Qingchun, Vice President of Desai Xiwei's Internet of Vehicles Business Department, said: "The Internet service based on driver demand provides a complete and simple solution for the automobile manufacturer's information and entertainment ecosystem. As a leading Internet connected parking service provider, Pozhigang has become an important part of our information and entertainment ecosystem. We look forward to establishing a long-term partnership with Pozhigang."
