Positive energy online movies become explosions. These China superheroes deserve respect


Special feature of 1905 film network In 2022, the National Day movie list was full of positive energy. ,,, focus on the heroes in the process of overseas evacuation, emergency rescue and industrial upgrading respectively.


The same is true for the online movies that Tencent video has hit recently.Lightning Assault of Drug Hunting, Warm Smile, Here comes the teacher! "and" Warrior Company "focus on the real life of frontline anti-drug police officers, people’s teachers and Red Army martyrs. Solid plot, real three-dimensional characterization, etc., make the audience moved and think more about life.



In the future, positive energy online movies such as Superhero Huang Jiguang and Black Hawk Boys will also be launched in October. These realistic films with strong social topics have certain explosive potential.


The biggest secret of real explosion creation


Throughout the recent Tencent video popular positive energy online movies, truth has become their most popular creative secret.


With the strong support of the Anti-drug Bureau of Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department and other departments, the creative team of "Lightning Assault of Drug Hunting" visited all relevant units in urban areas, held seminars and interviews with front-line anti-drug heroes, went deep into the grassroots to experience life, learned about the hardships, joys and sorrows of anti-drug heroes, and collected a lot of first-hand information.



In an interview with the media, Luo Le, director of Warrior Company, admitted that the creative team, who didn’t know much about the details of historical events at first, gradually approached the historical scene by constantly searching and learning materials. In order to restore history faithfully, the creative team collectively went into Ganzi, visited the Luding Bridge Memorial Hall, and interviewed relevant experts and descendants of martyrs who participated in the battle of flying Luding Bridge.



In the setting, the prop team of the film also strives to "recreate" the real historical environment and immerse the audience in the plot.


"You have to be very real, and it is particularly difficult to be very real, because you have no technical assistance, and you have to do it all by yourself. Big injuries may not, and minor injuries are commonplace." According to Wang Ting’s memory, because the chains on the shooting scene were all made of solid iron, in the process of restoring the Red Army soldiers to climb the chains, the legs of actors including themselves were often bruised and broken.



In order to truly restore the profession of people’s teachers, Song Xiaofeng also did a lot of homework.


"Although the film does not clearly describe the age, it should be in the 1990s. I often recall the image of my childhood teacher. When filming, I often take classes with students at school, look at the teacher’s speech list, sit and lie on the road, and often portray them." Song Xiaofeng, the star of Tencent’s video solo "Warm Smile", bluntly said that there was a big gap between her image and the teacher, which made the performance more difficult. In order to make the character authentic, he did a lot of observation and thinking.



In the film, Li Wennuan was born with a stutter, but in real life, when Song Xiaofeng encounters nervous and sad things, a similar situation will happen. Therefore, he skillfully integrated this life experience into the performance, making the role more real and natural.


The true display of human nature has also become one of the highlights of positive energy online movies.Liao Lianchang, played by Wang Ting in Warriors Company, is the backbone of the whole team. In this character, irritability and carefulness coexist, which is true and credible. In the film, he will severely criticize the instructors who may delay the team’s actions, and will also talk to the little soldiers like father and son before attacking the bridge.



The film producer Shen Yujing said frankly, "In the face of danger and pressure, he is also a person who will be anxious and angry. He is a fresh person." What the creative team has to do is to restore the truth in history and human nature.


Society needs more positive energy film and television works.


In the fast-paced modern life, people will always encounter all kinds of realistic pressures, and it is inevitable that they will be depressed. Positive energy film and television works can often encourage people to face difficulties and actively face problems through the power of light and shadow. Therefore, such works have become a social spiritual food just needed.


"This is my first online movie, so I am very cautious, so what really attracts me about this movie is its theme and this character." In an interview with 1905 Film Network, Wang Ting admitted that Liao Lianchang, played in Warrior Company, had many similarities with himself. The revolutionary martyrs shed their blood for the people’s happy life, which also deeply touched them.



This spirit of facing difficulties and going forward bravely is also the greatest driving force for the development of the present era. At the same time, the film was selected into the creation and communication project of network audio-visual programs of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and the top 20 recommended works of network audio-visual programs to meet the party.


"As a literary and art worker, we must convey positive energy. Although I am a comedian, it is what we are pursuing to give the audience a little thought after laughing." In an interview, Song Xiaofeng hopes to let the audience feel the truth, goodness and beauty in human nature through his works.


At the same time, he also said that he especially wants to play a soldier in the future. The positive energy brought by this professional group deeply attracted him. In real life, his father is also a veteran.



In the future, viewers will be able to watch more positive energy online movies on Tencent video, such as Superhero Huang Jiguang, which is scheduled to go online on October 2nd, and Black Hawk Boys, which will go online on October 11th.


In order to ensure the realism of "Superhero Huang Jiguang", before filming, the crew invited professional military directors to train the actors and carefully select various military actions. In addition, the creative team also consulted a large number of historical materials to restore the true colors of heroes as much as possible.



"Black Hawk Boys" is based on real events, and is played by the members of the "Liangshan Black Hawk" junior basketball team, focusing on the love and persistence of Yi teenagers in basketball dreams.


Chen Tie, the producer of the film, said, "It has no ups and downs, and the audio-visual language is relaxed and lively. I believe that after watching it, the audience will feel warm and feel that life is so beautiful."



After years of development, the online movie market has entered the era of high-quality products. As one of the representatives of domestic long video platforms, Tencent Video will spare no effort to support positive energy online movies.


Old driver science: What’s the difference between mixing, inserting, light mixing and adding? How to choose?

Zhiji Automobile/Linjing Store

Recently, the tide of "power cut" has been set off all over the country, which has also brought a lot of anxiety to new energy owners. In fact, there is no need to worry. From the market situation, new energy vehicles are still the general trend.

In the past two years, many car companies have launched a variety of hybrid models, including HEV, PHEV, MHEV, etc., so there are small partners who are curious, mixed, mixed, mixed and mixed. Let’s talk to you briefly today.

Hybrid technology: Toyota Asian lion

Hybrid power refers to the use of two different power sources in the vehicle power system, which usually refers to hybrid power of oil and electricity, that is, on the basis of retaining the traditional internal combustion engine, the motor is used to provide auxiliary power.

This technology is mainly used in new energy vehicles, which is different from the power system of traditional vehicles. The hybrid power system can be flexibly regulated according to the actual operating conditions of the vehicle, so that the engine can always be kept in the best state of comprehensive performance, effectively reducing the fuel consumption and emissions of the vehicle.

When it comes to mixing, we must talk about Toyota, whose mixing has a history of more than 20 years. Not long ago, Toyota Asian Lion made its debut, which once again showed the public the real strength of Toyota in the hybrid field.

The Asian Lion is equipped with TNGA 2.0L jet flow control engine, which is small in size, light in weight, strong in power and low in center of gravity. The maximum power can reach 126kW, the maximum torque is 205N·m, and the fuel consumption is 5.7-6.0L/100km, which is energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

Matching with the engine is a 10-speed dual-drive CVT gearbox, which innovatively adds the starting gear set and adopts high-sensitivity shift control, so that the response performance is faster when starting and accelerating, and the driving pleasure is promoted to a new realm.

However, it should be noted that although it is fuel-efficient, it cannot enjoy preferential policies and subsidies in most parts of China, so it is necessary to consult clearly in advance before purchasing.

Hybrid technology: BMW X5

Different from oil-point hybrid power, the plug-in hybrid power vehicle is equipped with only one engine, and the battery system and power unit are added on the basis of retaining the fuel vehicle. The alternating operation of the two power systems can not only realize pure electric zero-emission driving, but also increase the driving range of the vehicle through hybrid mode, thus achieving the effect of energy saving and emission reduction.

Among many new energy competition models in the same class, BMW X5 New Energy has strong power and endurance performance.

The new BMW X5 plug-in hybrid provides a variety of driving modes, with a pure electric cruising range of 85KM. The whole vehicle is made of lightweight body materials, which brings higher bearing capacity and more flexible driving feeling, and enjoys the fun of electric driving.

B-series inline 6-cylinder engine with 8-speed sports automatic manual transmission, it only takes 5.6 seconds to accelerate 100 kilometers, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is only 2.2L Each gear has been carefully adjusted and graded, bringing smoother power transmission, not only enjoying ultra-low fuel consumption, but also enjoying efficient sports charm at will.

At present, the purchase of plug-in hybrid models can not only enjoy the preferential purchase tax, but also enjoy the unlimited green license as long as the pure electric cruising range is above 50km, which brings great competitive advantage to plug-in hybrid models.

Light mixing technology: mercedes benz c grade.

Light-mixed vehicles generally use pure electric power to start, which is different from the original power output mode of the vehicle. When starting the vehicle, there is not much vibration and noise. At the same time, the power recovery system is used to recover the wasted energy when stepping on the brakes and charge its own battery, so as to improve the driving performance and fuel consumption index of the car.

In China, it was Beijing Benz that first put the 48V light mixing technology into commercial production.

The new long-wheelbase mercedes benz c-class sports car is equipped with M254 inline four-cylinder engine, all of which are matched with EQ Boost 48V light mixing technology, providing an additional maximum power of 15kW and a peak torque of 200 N m..

At the same time, with the second-generation 48VISG intelligent motor system, the vehicle can respond quickly at the moment of starting, which greatly reduces the jitter and noise when starting, and brings a "trinity" driving experience of speeding up smoothly, driving quietly and saving fuel consumption.

However, although the 48V light hybrid is wearing a hybrid hat, it is actually a fuel vehicle, so it cannot enjoy policy subsidies, and the fuel-saving effect is not particularly obvious. At present, the light hybrid vehicle has also fallen into a passive and embarrassing position.

Mixing technology: Li ONE.

The engine displacement of extended-range hybrid vehicles is generally small, and the engine can always run efficiently when generating electricity, and continue to provide electric energy for the motor and battery.

The internal combustion engine of this kind of vehicle does not need too much power, and it can be recharged and refueled. Compared with traditional fuel vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles in the state of power loss, the energy consumption is lower.

Li ONE, with its extended-range hybrid system, quickly occupied a place among the new forces making cars.

The biggest feature of Li ONE is its mileage advantage. NEDC’s comprehensive cruising range can reach 1,080 km, WLTC’s comprehensive cruising range is 890km, and it is equipped with a 40.5kWh battery pack and an intelligent power generation system, which can fully meet the daily commuting needs of the city, not to mention traveling. The long cruising range can bring a worry-free travel experience.

However, the energy conversion efficiency of the blending technology is very low, and even the engine with the highest thermal efficiency at present, a large part of energy will be wasted in the form of heat energy.

Summary:

The above are the main hybrid forms at present. I believe everyone can understand them after reading them. No matter what technology, hybrid models are worth considering, but: it is not easy to build a car, and it is ok and cherished!

Express delivery is becoming an important symbol of smooth economic cycle.

CCTV News:"Now that the economic situation is not smooth, whether you can receive express delivery is a sign!" On June 10th, the Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee held a press conference on the progress and effectiveness of accelerating the construction of a transportation power in the new era. When answering a reporter’s question, Dai Yingjun, deputy director of the State Post Bureau, said that express delivery has entered thousands of households, and it has become a living habit of people and an important symbol of smooth economic cycle.

Dai Yingjun introduced that the postal system is one of the country’s important strategic infrastructure and social organization systems. The postal express service industry has played an important role in serving the country’s major strategy, fighting epidemic and ensuring supply, and ensuring smooth communication, and has made industry contributions to opening up the aorta and unblocking microcirculation.

Analysis of New Engine Technology —— Variable Art of Valve

  When it comes to engines, as a car owner or prospective car owner, you must be very confident that you know such things very well. However, when many people pick up the brochures of automobile manufacturers or face some professional words in automobile advertisements, their heads will still feel short-circuited. This is actually not surprising. In today’s automobile marketing, many manufacturers like to use technical marketing to enhance the gold content of their brands or models. When we carefully explore these technologies, we will be very surprised to find that they are not so profound.



Structure diagram of Mercedes-Benz CGI direct injection technology


  Looking back at the development process of the engine, the automobile engine has undergone a gradual evolution from in-line to W-type, during which various structures such as horizontal opposition and V-type have also been derived. The number of cylinders has also developed from the initial single cylinder to 16 cylinders now; Gasoline engine also experienced the transition from carburetor era to EFI era; With the development of the times, the valve structure inside the cylinder has gradually developed from the previous two-valve structure to the present multi-valve structure. Here, we can’t give you an introduction to the development of the engine one by one. Looking back at these trivial events, we can already feel that the engine has changed very obviously in just over 100 years.



SLR’s 5.5L supercharged engine was tested on a dynamometer.


  Although the progress is obvious, due to the pressure of energy and environment and in order to meet the higher and stronger power demand of consumers, the research on engines by major manufacturers is still in progress. Improving fuel economy and power is still the trend of engine technology development today. When analyzing modern engine technology, we can see that all technologies have been linked with electronic control. For example, variable valve technology has become the standard equipment of almost all engines, even in the aspect of variable valve technology, there are advantages and disadvantages, but its high popularity also confirms the positive role of this technology from one aspect. Gasoline engines are gradually introducing direct injection technology. Due to its positive impact on fuel efficiency and emissions, major manufacturers have now taken this technology as the highlight of the future development of gasoline engines. Look at the supercharging technology, although the development of this engine technology has a long history, but because it can help the engine to make a qualitative leap in power, we can still see that this technology is widely used in some high-performance vehicles today, and even abroad it has become one of the ways for some car refitters to improve vehicle performance.



In order to reduce the longitudinal length, BMW installed the twin turbines of V8 engine in the middle of the included angle of V-shaped cylinder.


  As consumers, sometimes they don’t have to pay attention to the specific development process of engines, but when purchasing vehicles, these developing technologies will inevitably become obstacles to understanding vehicles in detail. There are at least 10 names for variable valve technology of engines, such as VTEC, VVT-i, CVVT, etc. Direct injection technology also has different names similar to FSI, SIDI and HPI. These technologies, which belong to the same category, have been named by various manufacturers, which is indeed conducive to the brand promotion of manufacturers in the technical field, but consumers have not become beneficiaries. These technologies will more or less become obstacles for some consumers to buy, choose and love cars.


  In order to enable current car owners, prospective car owners and more car lovers to have a more intuitive understanding of these technologies of the engine, we hereby make this topic of new engine technologies. Although variable valve technology and supercharging technology are no longer new technologies, we can see that major manufacturers are still making breakthroughs in this field. Facts have also proved that the development of the engine in these two fields has also brought us many benefits, and this benefit is constantly expanding with the development of time. I hope that the short 10-page topic can help you understand these technologies more clearly and provide some support for your car selection, car purchase and car ownership. New technology is not far away from you, just waiting for you to notice it carefully.

  Variable art of valve


  Consumers can always hear or see some abbreviated English words about engine technology when listening to salesmen’s explanations or reading manufacturers’ brochures themselves. After listening to this "CVVT", I will hear "VVT-i" in another store, which is really a headache for consumers who don’t know much about cars.


  In fact, up to now, engine variable valve technology is no longer synonymous with advanced technology, because this technology has gradually spread in the automotive field. Because of its outstanding contribution to fuel economy and power, several major automobile manufacturers in the world have been involved in research and development in this field many years ago. However, various car manufacturers have different names in this respect, such as Honda i-VTEC, Toyota VVT-i, Hyundai CVVT, Mazda S-VT and so on. At present, there is not much difference in this technology among several major automakers, but there are still some differences in structure. Honda and Toyota, two Japanese companies, like to promote this technology most. Many consumers may feel at a loss in the face of these technical rankings. Looking at the following simple introductions of several technologies may make you more confident in the introduction of sales staff.



Structural diagram of BMW Valvetronic


  BMW Valvetronic and Double-VANOS


  Compared with Honda and Toyota’s high-profile publicity in this respect, BMW pays more attention to the promotion of high-end brands, so it seems to ignore its technological advantages. However, here we have to push this technology to the foreground.



Internal structure of BMW VANOS


  Valvetronic is an electronic continuous variable valve lift technology of BMW. It is worth mentioning that this technology is different from Honda’s segmented one. It transforms the axial movement of the motor into the angle change of the rocker arm through a set of worm gears, so that the valve lift can be freely and continuously variable under the control of ECU. This should be the most classic design of continuously variable valve lift so far. Although it is classic, it is often used in combination with VANOS technology. VANOS is BMW’s variable valve timing technology, and Double-VANOS is the same as Toyota’s dual VVT-i technology, which realizes continuous variable timing for the intake and exhaust of the engine. In terms of structural design, BMW’s combination of Valvetronic and Double-VANOS variable valve technology seems more convincing.


  Representative model: BMW 120i



BMW 120i, which has just entered the domestic market, has been equipped with these two technologies.


  This technology of BMW is very mature. At present, the inline 4-cylinder engines of BMW’s lowest-end 120i in China market have been equipped with Valvetronic and Double-VANOS technologies. This technology has obviously become the standard equipment of BMW engines, and then it may be the popularization of BMW HPI direct injection technology.

  Honda i-VTEC



Honda i-VTEC has different settings on different engines.


  I-VTEC is gradually upgraded from the original VTEC technology, and Honda’s application in this technology can be said to be perfect. For SOHC or DOHC inline 4-cylinder engines and SOHCV6 engines, the application methods are slightly different, but they all ensure the variable valve timing and variable valve lift technology. Honda realizes this variable process by changing the high and low speed camshafts. In order to make VTEC technology more intelligent, Honda later introduced VTC(valveoverlapcontrol) to make the variable valve timing continuously adjustable. At present, Honda’s use of i-VTEC technical terms is somewhat confusing. For example, the newly added i-VTEC technology on the new Fit L13A engine is different from that of Accord 2.4. There is no VTC technology in i-VTEC of 1.3L engine with new fit. Although SOHCV6 engine used in Accord 3.5 has VCM(VariableCylinderManagement) technology, there is no VTC technology.


  Representative model: Honda Accord 2.4L



2.4L the eighth generation accord is the mainstay of the accord car series.


  The i-VTEC equipped with the 2.4L in-line 4-cylinder DOHC engine used in Accord 2.4 is a more "orthodox" i-VTEC. This is because this i-VTEC system is a combination of VTEC technology and VTC technology, that is to say, its engine has continuous valve variable timing technology and segmented variable valve lift technology. With this system, ECU can automatically adjust the valve mechanism according to the driving condition of the vehicle, so as to meet the reasonable intake and exhaust requirements in each period and achieve good power performance and fuel economy.


  Toyota VVT-i



Toyota VVT-i has the same influence as Honda i-VTEC.


  Toyota and Honda have been secretly competing, and so have VVT-i and i-VTEC. Toyota VVT-i is developed from the original VVT, which is a continuously variable timing structure, but there is no variable valve lift technology, which is different from Honda i-VTEC. Toyota later continued to deepen this technology, and introduced the variable mechanism of exhaust end, that is, double VVT-i, on the basis of the original variable intake. In this way, the engine can use the function of intake and exhaust more effectively, and improve the power and fuel economy of the engine. In fact, Toyota does not have variable lift technology. In VVTL-i, Toyota combines VVT-i and variable valve lift technology, but the engine 2ZZ-GE equipped with this technology did not meet Euro IV emission regulations at that time, so it was not reused by Toyota.


  Representative model: Toyota Corolla 1.8L



Toyota Corolla cars have introduced dual VVT-i technology.


  Toyota Corolla 1.8 is equipped with 1.8L in-line 4-cylinder 2ZR-FE engine, which is equipped with Toyota dual VVT-i technology. The intake and exhaust parts have continuous variable valve timing mechanisms, which can effectively adjust the intake and exhaust of the engine during the whole operation. Although there is no variable lift technology, it is similar to Honda i-VTEC after adding valve timing to the exhaust part.

Dongfeng Yipai e π 008: high matching and low price big guy, the details hide mysteries

Old irons, today let’s talk about the eπ 008 car. To be honest, this car has caused quite a stir, and many friends are asking me how this car is.

As a senior car critic, I will give you a good talk today to see what the big guy called "high matching and low price" has.

Let’s talk about the appearance first. The eπ 008 looks really good. It has a body of more than 5 meters and a wheelbase of more than 3 meters. It is a big guy standing there.

The daytime running lights on the front face, coupled with the dotted decorations on the front bumper, look quite technological. The lines on the side are also quite smooth, especially the D-pillar one, which reminds me of it, but the eπ 008 is obviously more domineering.

Let’s take a look at the interior again. As soon as you enter the door, the first impression is simple and atmospheric. The golden decorative strip that runs through the entire dashboard, with the large-sized central control screen, looks very high-grade.

The co-pilot’s dashboard design is also quite interesting. It is almost a flat layer from front to back, and the visual effect is great. But to be honest, although this design looks good, it is practical.

The first thing was the layered sliding refrigerator. This thing could slide from the front row to the back row. It could be used as both a refrigerator and a storage table.

But there is a small regret, that is, the front row cannot open the refrigerator directly from above, which is a little inconvenient. Is this designer’s brain flooded? If the front row cannot be opened, isn’t it useless?

In addition, there is a ceiling screen in the second row, which can be operated on the back end screen of the sub-dashboard or on the ceiling screen, which is much more convenient than gesture and voice operation. However, I think that if the third row is sitting, the second row of seats will be adjusted forward, and it may be a little tiring to look at this screen.

Let’s talk about the seats. There is a zero-gravity seat on the right side of the middle row, and it can slide sideways to avoid the rear hub bag, and you can lie down with one click. Sounds advanced? But don’t be too happy, because the seat belt is not integrated into the seat, so the mode cannot be used when driving.

However, even without the use of zero gravity mode, the leg support space is still enough, and the 172cm person can basically straighten his legs comfortably. This reminds me of those so-called "first class", which ended up sitting like a can.

The three rows of space are also good, even if the first two rows are seated, the feet of the three rows of passengers can still be placed at the bottom of the second row, which is more comfortable than many models of the same level. Now you don’t have to worry about being stuffed into the back row as "".

Speaking of which, I have to mention it. Although C16 is also a big guy, it is obviously inferior in terms of three rows of space. In the case of maintaining a similar sitting position, the distance between the knees of the third row of C16 and the backrest of the second row is only one palm thick, which is indeed much worse than that of eπ 008.

Let’s talk about some details. The front headrest of the eπ 008 has a stereo inside, which is quite interesting. However, for this reason, the front seats cannot be completely flat, and there is no way to make a big bed with the second row of seats.

This may disappoint some friends who like to travel by car. But then again, we’re not going camping by car, what do we need such a big bed for? Do you want to have a "mobile bedroom" in the car?

The design of the trunk is also very thoughtful. The floor is segmented, and the outermost piece can be taken out as a picnic table alone, and it can also sink to the bottom to increase space. This design is indeed more flexible than the regular layout of the Zero Run C16.

But then again, although the EPi 008 has a high configuration, there are still traces of cost savings in some details. For example, the makeup lamp, the structure of the sun visor without fingers entering, the exposed pedal, and so on.

Although these places do not affect the use, they do make people feel a little fly in the ointment. It’s like wearing a famous brand, but the shoelaces are plastic, which is a bit cheaper.

In general, the EPi 008 is indeed rich in configuration at the price of 18-210,000. Compared with Chery, X90, RX9 and other models of the same level, the EPi 008 definitely has an advantage in configuration.

Even the slightly more expensive ones may not be able to beat eπ 008 in terms of configuration. However, we can’t just look at the configuration, we have to consider the actual experience.

Some friends may worry that with so many high-tech configurations, will it be complicated to use? Or can our brand power and after-sales services keep up with such high-end configurations? These are all questions we need to consider when choosing a car.

So the question is, Tiezi, will you be tempted by such a large body with rich configuration and spacious space? Have you started to plan whether to drive it home?

Let’s talk about power. The eπ 008 is equipped with a self-developed 2.0T, with a maximum power of 170kW and a peak value of 390N · m. This parameter is definitely the top level in the same class of models.

In comparison, Chery’s 1.6T has only 145kW power, its 2.0T engine is only 150kW, and even BYD Tang’s 2.0T has only 150kW. It can be said that the power output of the eπ 008 is the strongest at this price.

But then again, just having a lot of horsepower is not enough, the key is to see how it actually performs. I checked the 100-kilometer acceleration data of the eπ 008, and the official result is 8.9 seconds. This result is not bad in the same class of models, much faster than Chery’s 10.5 seconds.

However, in comparison, the 100-kilometer acceleration of the zero-run C16 is only 7.9 seconds, which is a full second faster than the eπ 008. It is no wonder that the C16 looks more sporty in appearance. But then again, the eπ 008 is such a big body, and the acceleration time of 8.9 seconds is already very good.

Let’s talk about the handling. The eπ 008 adopts the suspension layout of the front McPherson and the rear, and the handling should not be too bad. However, from the actual test drive experience, the control of the eπ 008 is still a little heavy.

Maybe it’s because the car is too big and heavy. Fortunately, the body is relatively stable, and there won’t be any major shaking. And the steering wheel feels pretty good, but it’s a little too light. But for most family car owners, this problem shouldn’t be a big deal.

Overall, the power and handling of the EPi 008 were pretty good. Although it might not be as good as some sports positioning models, it was already excellent for a large seven-seat MPV.

Let’s talk about the intelligent configuration. The eπ 008 is equipped with the intelligent cockpit system independently developed by Dongfeng. The central control screen is up to 14.6 inches, and the resolution reaches the 2K level. The visual effect of this screen is really good, high and fast.

However, one thing that I am not satisfied with is that the system still needs to be optimized. The entrance of some functions is hidden a bit deep and the operation is not intuitive. Fortunately, the voice interaction system is still sensitive and can basically meet daily needs.

In addition, the eπ 008 is also equipped with an L2-level driver assistance system. Including, lane keeping, and other functions. These configurations are also considered top-of-the-line in the same class of models. But in actual use, I think there is still some room for optimization.

For example, Adaptive Cruise was somewhat sluggish and could not keep up with changes in traffic flow. The lane maintenance was also not very stable, and there were often deviations. However, I believe that Dongfeng’s subsequent software upgrades should be able to solve these problems.

Then there’s the safety configuration. The safety of the eπ 008 is also the best in its class. The body structure is made of high-strength steel and is equipped with multiple reinforcements. In addition, there are active safety configurations such as 6 airbags, EBD, and passive safety configurations such as child seat interfaces.

Judging from the collision test results of CNCAP, the overall score of eπ 008 is 5 stars, which is very good. However, in comparison, the collision score of Zero Run C16 is not much better, and it also gets 5 stars.

So all in all, the safety performance of eπ 008 is still very good. For home owners, this is undoubtedly a big selling point. After all, who doesn’t want their family to drive safely?

Finally, I would like to say that the Eπ 008 is undoubtedly a dark horse of Dongfeng’s own brand. It has excellent performance in appearance, space, configuration and other aspects, and the cost performance is also very high.

However, it is not a perfect car either. Some details and intelligence still need to be optimized. However, I believe Dongfeng will gradually solve these problems in the future.

Then the question is, Tiezi, what do you think of the eπ 008? Are you already excited? Do you want to consider buying such a big one? But then again, just looking at the configuration is not enough, we have to see how much it costs.

Next time we will talk about the fuel consumption, maintenance, value preservation and other issues of the eπ 008. See if it is worth buying. Don’t forget to continue to follow me then!

"Get the national car brand up"

  Here is known as the cradle of New China’s automobile industry: the development and manufacture of the first car, the first Dongfeng brand car, the first Red Flag brand high-end car, FAW ushered in a new era of new China’s automobile industry from scratch, marking a solid step towards an automotive powerhouse.

  Here is the expression of the hard work of several generations of Chinese automakers: building factories in the wasteland, laying the foundation for a business, and making independent innovations. Behind the development history of FAW is the fighting spirit of courage to explore and not afraid of difficulties.

  When the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader inspected FAW in 2020, he stressed: "We must master the key core technologies in our own hands, and we must set up this ambition to promote the national automobile brand."

  After 70 years, FAW and China’s automobile industry, which have stood at a new starting point, have advanced together, anchoring high-quality development and moving forward steadily.

Industry serves the country, 70 years of hard work to revitalize the automotive industry

  Changchun Dongfeng Street, China FAW old factory area. More than a hundred red buildings with Chinese-style eaves and Western-style balconies stand quietly. Here, two national car brands, Red Flag and Liberation, were bred, witnessing the historical process of the new China automobile industry from scratch and from weak to strong.

  Automobiles, an important symbol of modern industrial civilization, are a symbol of a country’s manufacturing strength and a powerful engine for national economic development.

  In the early days of the founding of New China, there was nothing to be done. "When can we get on the car we built ourselves?" The simple words carried the industrial dream of a country. The party listed the construction of FAW as one of the 156 key projects during the "First Five-Year Plan" period. On July 15, 1953, 10,000 builders from all over the country gathered in the southwest suburbs of Changchun and laid the first foundation pile on the vast wilderness. The road to FAW’s entrepreneurship was paved, and the new Chinese automobile industry began from then on.

  "China’s man-made cars started under poor and white conditions!" Wang Fengge, a 90-year-old veteran employee, recalled the early days of the factory’s construction. At that time, there was a frenzy of support for FAW across the country. "Repair roads to FAW, connect gas to FAW, and transfer cadres to FAW…" In 1954, 95% of Changchun’s municipal construction costs were invested in the construction of FAW.

  Drawing on the strength of the whole country, it will be completed and put into operation in three years; starting from scratch, it will open up the beginning of the new Chinese automobile industry.

  On July 13, 1956, the first domestic Jiefang truck rolled off the assembly line, bringing an end to the history of China’s inability to build cars; on May 12, 1958, the first domestic car, Dongfeng Jinlong, drove out of the trial production workshop and started the process of self-made cars…

  In the FAW Hongqi Cultural Exhibition Hall, an oil painting recreates the days in full swing: several craftsmen gather together to make a mud model of a Hongqi car by hand.

  "In order to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the founding of New China, we took over the task of manufacturing high-end cars." Dou Shuxiang, a retired veteran employee, clearly remembers that time was tight and the drawings were too late to draw. At that time, the factory manager Rao Bin discussed with the designers and made a bold decision – to hit it directly with a hammer!

  Summon the country’s top sheet metal masters, work day and night to knock out the body; hang up more than 2,000 spare parts pictures, and skilled craftsmen grab the pictures for trial production… On August 1, 1958, the first Hongqi brand high-end car was successfully trial-produced, which took only more than a month.

  Today, when modern production has been widely popularized, it is difficult for people to imagine how the car was built in a closed technology and difficult conditions. However, entrepreneurship is difficult, and the journey from building a car to building a good car is still long –

  In the early 1980s, the indicators of Jiefang brand cars were obviously lagging behind. In three years, more than 20,000 sets of process equipment were updated, and 79 new production lines were built. After six years, China’s second-generation truck Jiefang CA141 was put into production. FAW withstood huge pressure and completed the replacement and production without stopping production or reducing revenue, realizing the "second business".

  The reform and opening up quickly opened up the automobile market. At that time, the domestic automobile production capacity was less than one million units, and the products were "less heavy and less light", and transformation and upgrading were imminent. Following the pace of the industry, FAW began its "third venture": building a modern production base, vigorously developing light vehicles and cars; establishing joint ventures with Volkswagen, Toyota, etc., to rapidly improve manufacturing capacity… Through structural adjustment and joint venture cooperation, the enterprise grew rapidly. In 2001, the output and revenue increased by 3.2 times and 13.4 times compared with 1988.

  China’s entry into the WTO has accelerated the process of automotive globalization. Faced with the sudden influx of foreign brands, local enterprises that do not have an advantage in technology and brands were once in crisis. The passivity of market competition made FAW realize that only reform and innovation can keep up with the rhythm.

  Separation of main and auxiliary, taking the step from "plan" to "market"; shareholding reform, completing the transformation from a single state-owned sole proprietorship to a multi-investment entity.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, FAW has pressed the reform fast forward button.

  On September 18, 2017, a "four-energy reform" in which cadres can go up and down, employees can come in and out, salaries can be high and low, and institutions can increase and decrease their capacity was fully launched.

  "At that time, I had just arrived in Beijing for training, and the next morning I received a notice that everyone’stood up ‘and re-competed for jobs. How could I have the heart to stay, so I quickly bought a ticket and returned." Liu Jun, director of the FAW Reform Office, recalled the scene at that time.

  Clear goals, with the strength of the whole group to develop the Hongqi brand; Highlight innovation and improve the independent research and development system; Survival of the fittest, breaking the "iron chair" to set jobs with goals and pay for performance… Radical reform has restructured the system and mechanism, and stimulated innovation vitality. The "new entrepreneurship" marked by reform and innovation has also given FAW a new life –

  It has grown into a world-renowned automobile manufacturer and ranked among the top 500 companies in the world; by the end of 2022, the cumulative production and sales of automobiles exceeded 54 million, and the operating income was 7.9881 trillion yuan; in the past 5 years, the sales volume of the Hongqi brand has increased by 65 times, and the brand value has reached 115.50 billion yuan; for 12 consecutive years, the brand has been liberated to lead the industry, and the brand value has reached 118.70 billion yuan.

  It was born because of the national automobile industry and developed with the tide of the times. FAW has opened a new page in China’s automobile industry, witnessed the hardships and achievements of car manufacturing in a big country, trained a large number of industrial talents who understand technology and management for China’s automobile industry, promoted the growth and expansion of the industrial chain, and made due contributions to building an automobile power.

  In 70 years, from the "15th Five-Year Plan" to the "14th Five-Year Plan", FAW, which used to be like a child, has entered its prime. China’s auto industry has achieved leapfrog development through hard work and independent innovation: today, China has become the world’s largest automobile production and sales country for 14 consecutive years, and the scale of new energy vehicles production and sales has been the world’s largest for 8 consecutive years.

  "Only by unswervingly following the beat of the market and the drumbeat of reform can we have lasting vitality and momentum." Wang Guoqiang, deputy secretary of the FAW Party Committee, lamented that this is the inspiration of FAW’s development and the portrayal of China’s automobile industry.

Climb the peak bravely and strive to master the key core technologies

  The maximum power reached 560 kilowatts, and the performance index achieved international leadership – at the beginning of this year, the trial production of the V-type 12-cylinder direct injection engine developed by FAW was launched.

  The engine is the "heart" of the car, and the manufacturing process is superb. The V12 engine, which has a complex structure and is difficult to develop, represents the highest level of passenger car engines. As a latecomer, China has long been blank in this field.

  "This is the hard work of several generations of Hongqi people!" On the day the product was launched, Zhao Huichao, acting vice president of FAW Research and Development Institute, had mixed feelings. After continuous scientific and technological research, this engine broke the decades-long technical barriers of international suppliers and took the initiative in power manufacturing.

  The key core technology is the "life gate" of industrial development. Once upon a time, domestic vehicle production relied on external imports. High technology transfer fees and strict negotiation conditions hindered both production and product development.

  During the FAW inspection, the Supreme Leader General Secretary emphasized that to promote the high-quality development of our country’s automobile manufacturing industry, it is necessary to strengthen the independent research and development of key core technologies and key components.

  Basic materials, key components, advanced technology… With the growth and expansion of China’s automobile industry, generations of FAW people have begun to work hard on core technologies.

  0.015Mm, which is equivalent to 1/5 of the diameter of a hair, was "carved" by Yang Yongxiu, the chief technical master of FAW Research and Development Institute, and his team for 13 years.

  This is the "Chinese precision" of the engine block. Yang Yongxiu told reporters that there are more than 100 holes in the engine block, which are easily deformed during processing. In order to ensure performance, the precision of the cylinder hole must be controlled to the limit. But the core parameters of the fine processing of numerical control milling machines have always been regarded as secrets by foreign companies.

  "Since you want to do it, you have to achieve a level of refinement that is difficult for others to achieve." After more than ten years of sharpening the sword, after repeated overthrow and repeated trials in countless codes, Yang Yongxiu and his team finally cracked the core parameters and mastered the "key" of precision manufacturing.

  Diving deep into the "stuck neck" field, keep taking solid steps –

  Set up a special project working group for the transmission, establish a powertrain factory, and carry out comprehensive independent research and development for more than ten years to achieve comprehensive independent control;

  Focusing on power batteries, innovating a series of technologies such as low-temperature batteries and battery pack thermal insulation to achieve trial production of Ah-level all-solid-state batteries;

  From system integration and intelligent networking to forward-looking modeling and key materials, we will continuously target 41 key directions…

  In 2017, the FAW R & D General Institute was inaugurated, integrating the technical forces formerly scattered in various departments, and implementing awards for listing, project contracting, and technical achievements in proportion to profits.

  The optimization of the system and mechanism has released the vitality of innovation, and FAW has accelerated its charge in key frontier technology fields: breaking through the key technologies of high-efficiency hybrid systems, completing the application development of autonomous vehicle operating systems…

  "Our R & D staff has grown from 2,360 to more than 4,500, and the new car development cycle has been reduced from 48 months to 24 months," said Wang Deping, executive vice-president of FAW Research and Development Institute. In the past three years, 494 key core technologies such as high-efficiency high-speed electric drive, intelligent wire-controlled chassis, and L3-level autonomous driving have been broken through.

  Today, the global automotive industry is accelerating its transition to electrification and intelligence, and the transformation of production methods has put forward more urgent requirements for the safety and control of the industrial chain and collaborative innovation.

  "This requires the joint efforts of domestic peers to make up for each other’s shortcomings," Zhou Shiying, acting vice-president of FAW’s R & D General Institute, told reporters. As a chain-leading enterprise, FAW must open up its ecology and achieve joint research and co-creation. "This is a matter of one prosperity and one loss."

  Cooperate with China Resources Microelectronics and others to deepen the industrial chain of electronic components; gather leading software companies to strengthen algorithm development and verification… FAW and leading units have established 38 collaborative innovation laboratories and 5 basic research laboratories, and strive to promote industrial chain upgrades and breakthroughs. "In the future, we will continue to open up capabilities such as vehicle-end delivery, and together with our industrial chain partners, we will advance into the’no man’s land ‘of automotive technology." Zhou Shiying said.

  Self-reliance and independent innovation, FAW’s exploration is a portrayal of China’s automobile industry. After 70 years of industrialization abroad, China’s ups and downs of car manufacturing are full of thirst and climbing for core technologies.

  Today, China’s automotive industry has a stronger foundation and strength, with the world’s leading market size and industrial chain advantages for new energy vehicles, standing on the same starting line as the global automotive industry.

  To change lanes and overtake cars requires innovation and breakthroughs. "Always take independent innovation as the foundation, strive to control key core technologies and enhance the competitiveness of the whole chain, and the confidence to deal with risks will be stronger, and the driving force for industrial development will be stronger," said Fu Bingfeng, executive vice-president of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers.

Anchor the course, take advantage of the trend to let national brands stand at the forefront

  On July 3, with the 20 million new energy vehicles rolled off the assembly line, China’s automobile industry reached a new milestone. In this wave of electrification and intelligent transformation, Chinese automobiles have accelerated into the center of the world stage, and national brands have ushered in historical opportunities.

  "This gives us a rare window of time. What we need to do now is to anchor the high quality and accelerate the brand upward!" Wang Guoqiang said.

  Walking into the prosperous factory area of Hongqi Manufacturing Center, the experience of intelligent manufacturing is coming: the integrated robot cluster is orderly, the ultrasonic equipment is accurately inspected, and a Hongqi car "drives" to the market every minute. "Through data sensing, every detail here will be’moved ‘to the virtual’twin factory’, which will improve the quality and efficiency of production and provide support for innovation," Xiu Junyi, deputy general manager of Hongqi Manufacturing Center, told reporters.

  It is a factory and a data platform; it is production and supply chain management. With advanced manufacturing as the driving force, we will continue to transform to high-end, intelligent and green.

  Take the "steering wheel" of the industry and firmly promote the strategic layout.

  "Two All" – On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the factory, the Hongqi brand announced that all investment in technological innovation will be used for new energy vehicles, and all new production capacity will be used for new energy vehicles.

  Established new energy development institute, intelligent network development institute, etc., forward-looking reserve the technical direction of the next ten years, and build independent and controllable core capabilities; in the next three years, 15 Hongqi new energy intelligent products will be launched intensively, covering all market segments; by 2025, FAW new energy vehicle sales will reach 1.45 million, and Hongqi brand will exceed 500,000…

  "This is the core track of industrial development." Qiu Xindong, general manager and deputy party secretary of China FAW, said that by fighting the tough battle of new energy transformation, it is necessary to drive the all-round transformation of enterprises from concept to operation.

  Strengthen its own brand and accelerate its integration into the global industrial landscape.

  Recently, at the railway port of Changchun Xinglong Comprehensive Bonded Zone, new Hongqi cars were packed in an orderly manner and set sail for Europe. Riding the "wave" of new energy vehicles going to sea, the Hongqi brand accelerated "going out" – from January to June, the export of 5003 vehicles was completed, an increase of 172% year-on-year.

  "We want to break the outdated concept that Chinese brands are’cheap ‘," Yang Dayong, chairperson of FAW Import and Export Co., told reporters that Hongqi has chosen foreign developed regions as its target market from the beginning, and has opened up sales channels in 17 countries including Saudi Arabia and Norway. "If the Middle East and European markets can do well, it means that it can establish a high-end image in the global market."

  The combination of headlights that symbolizes the round sky and the grille design that symbolizes the mountains and waterfalls… The Hongqi brand, which contains strong oriental aesthetics and Chinese culture, has accelerated its entry into the international market and has also entered the homes of ordinary people.

  After 300,000 consecutive "barriers", domestic sales are expected to exceed 400,000 this year.

  "Hongqi used to be regarded as a’national car ‘, but today we want to make it a’national car’," Mr. Qiu said. Hongqi needs to become younger, more fashionable, more technological and move up the value chain. "We have brand confidence and cultural confidence!"

  Coming from the horn of war on the black land, FAW has marked the entire development process of the automobile industry in New China.

  70 years of prosperity, with self-made indomitable progress, difficulties in the face of thousands of tempering, generation after generation of autobots passed down the fighting spirit, condensed into the Chinese auto industry unremitting forward power source.

  Today, our country has grown from a country with a lack of industry to the world’s largest automobile producer and consumer. From "bringing in" to "going out", China has contributed to the electric transformation of the global automobile industry.

  Don’t forget the blue strands when you come, and move forward without fear of wind and rain. On the journey from an automobile power to an automobile power, we will unswervingly promote high-quality development, and China’s automobile industry will move forward all the way!

Binding China enterprise ZF to automatic parking on a large scale

  [car home Industry] When people talk about ZF, they must have a high evaluation of its 8AT gearbox. There are countless partners in this star product, especially BMW, which is famous for its control. Most of its models use ZF 8AT gearbox. Today, ZF will no longer be a simple gearbox company, but will gradually evolve into a technology company focusing on the future travel field.

  "Before 2030, ZF’s contribution to the Asia-Pacific region needs to reach 30% of the group’s income, and the China market will become the main source of growth to achieve this goal." At the strategic cooperation ceremony between ZF and China technology company Tiantong Weishi on June 15th, Dr.Holger Klein, director of ZF Group, said, "This requires us to cooperate with forward-looking partners in the local ecosystem of China."

Why did you choose Tianqi Weiwei?

  On June 15th, ZF signed a strategic cooperation agreement with CalmCar to jointly develop cost-effective automatic parking (APA) and automatic parking service (AVP) systems. At the same time, this is the first time that ZF has invested in a local start-up technology company in China.

  In Ke Haozhe’s view, it is now in an era full of challenges and changes. On the one hand, the travel industry is facing common challenges such as COVID-19 epidemic, chip trade and climate change; On the other hand, software-defined cars, as well as the development of technologies such as autonomous driving, artificial intelligence and 5G, will combine the digital world in the field of travel with the real world. These common challenges and opportunities are complex and interrelated, and ZF should cooperate with upstream suppliers, first-class suppliers and automobile manufacturers.

"Ke Haozhe, Director of ZF Group"

  In recent years, by actively participating in the domestic ecological circle, ZF has actively deployed its work focus and company resources in the high-tech development of China, and taking a stake in Tiantong Weishi is a major move of ZF. "This year coincides with the 40th year of ZF’s operation in China. At this key node, ZF participates in the China automobile ecosystem and has deeper cooperation with China start-ups. This is also an important performance of the Group’s emphasis on the China market. " Ke Yuzhe said.

  ZF has made some achievements in the key technical fields of automatic driving, from high-precision sensors and intelligent actuators to high-efficiency on-board central computers and service-oriented software systems. Perhaps the outside world will ask, start-ups are overwhelming, why did ZF choose Tianqi Weiwei?

Home of the car

  Xing Xun, Engineering Director of China Electronics and Driver Assistance System Division of ZF Group, said, "As early as 2017, ZF cooperated with Tianzhu, and now the technical achievements of our cooperation have been verified in 3-4 years. This also means that this technology is reliable. "

  "ZF is not willing to invest in a company if it is only famous, rather than the two sides spend time and energy on joint development. This is a starting point for ZF to cooperate with start-ups in China-it takes some time and technical precipitation. " Xing Xun added.

  At the same time, Damon, founder and CEO of Tiantong Weishi, predicted that in 2023, L2-class and L3-class advanced assisted driving will achieve large-scale development in the China market, and in 2025, China will usher in large-scale mass production of L4-class autonomous driving. Compared with the global OEM layout, China will be two years ahead, among which low-speed assisted autonomous driving has completed 35% assembly rate in 2020.

  ZF and Tiantong Weishi have come a long way, and now is the right time to strengthen and deepen cooperation.

Wang Runyi, President of ZF China and Senior Vice President of Asia Pacific Operations, and Damon, Founder and CEO of Tiantong Weishi.

AVP system landed in China on a large scale?

  "The automatic parking system, whether it is the end consumer or the OEM, has a very strong demand for this function." Asked why ZF laid out the AVP field, Xing Xun said, "Aiming at the problem of parking difficulty, automatic parking service is a product that really comes from the demand side."

  ZF will start with automatic parking and automatic parking service, and build future-oriented autonomous driving technology to support the next generation of travel modes. If we look back at the Shanghai Auto Show in April this year, ZF released AVP automatic parking service technology for the first time. In fact, this technology is based on the deep cooperation between the two parties.

  ZF’s specialty in sensor actuators and system integration, combined with the software support of Tiantong Weishi and the crowdsourcing map technology of another partner, this AVP automatic parking service technology can provide an economical and efficient solution for car companies without relying on the transformation of parking lot infrastructure and the prefabrication of high-precision maps of parking lots.

  "Actually, ZF has a relatively comprehensive layout in L2-level assisted autonomous driving and L4-level autonomous driving on highways. Comparatively speaking, there are shortcomings in the low-speed automatic parking scene." Xing Xun said frankly, "In this field, the working conditions in China are very different from those in foreign countries, including the parking environment and garage construction methods. Cooperation with Tianzhu Weishi is essentially a supplement and improvement to ZF’s construction of autonomous driving map. "

  Just as the technical route of self-driving cars is divided into bicycle intelligence and vehicle-road coordination, automatic parking service also has two major routes: vehicle end and field end. It is reported that the AVP system jointly developed by ZF and Tianzhu is mainly based on vehicle intelligence.

  The automatic parking service system is equipped with four fisheye cameras with a panoramic view of 192. By using the fusion of 360 panoramic view perception of Tiantong Weishi and ultrasonic radar perception, the system can effectively identify parking spaces and obstacles, help vehicles locate indoors and outdoors, and plan automatic parking paths in real time.

Home of the car

  "There are 400,000 paid parking lots in China. If we carry out large-scale field-side renovation, it is actually unrealistic. Therefore, Tianzhu Weishi uses its own unique algorithm advantages and combines ZF’s century-old experience to realize automatic parking service without increasing the cost of the vehicle on a large scale. " Damon, founder and CEO of Tianzhu Weishi, stressed, "Only in this way can the AVP system land quickly and on a large scale."

  It is understood that ZF AVP system is scheduled to be installed for the first time on the models of China automobile manufacturers at the end of 2022, and the landing scenes are airports, shopping malls and parking lots.

Meet the new challenges of China market

  "The cooperation between ZF and Tiantong Weishi is a good start, but such cooperation is definitely not the only cooperation of ZF. We will conduct a very profound and comprehensive investigation in the future to find a partner that complements ZF in culture and technology in the automobile ecosystem, making the overall business model of the group more flexible." Wang Runyi said, "This is our goal, and ZF will carefully and openly choose China partners."

Home of the car

  2021 is the 40th year that ZF entered China. In these 40 years, ZF has witnessed the rapid development of China automobile industry. From 1981, ZF received its first order in China, to 1994, ZF opened its first factory in Langfang, and now, ZF has nearly 50 manufacturing enterprises and three R&D centers in China. ZF has gone through the process from "sales in China" to "manufacturing in China" and then to "R&D in China".

  It is worth mentioning that ZF’s sales in China increased by 10.3% in 2020, which is at the same level as that in its home market. In the past two years, as a Tier1 supplier, ZF found that the demand of China OEM changed greatly.

  "First of all, the OEM’s own research and development capabilities have been significantly improved; Secondly, the technology and services provided by the main engine factory to suppliers need to be faster in response speed; Finally, it is more flexible in technical requirements, and tends to combine the specific needs of OEMs, with a more systematic and deeper understanding. " Wang Runyi told car home.

  "In the past, a new model was developed for three or four years. This era no longer exists. What we see is the average aging of 6-18 months. This puts higher demands on ZF’s R&D team. " Wang Runyi believes that ZF needs the help of local start-ups in China to respond to customers’ requirements quickly.

Home of the car

  In fact, at the technical level, the supply mode of black box or white box in the past can no longer meet the needs of OEMs. "OEMs hope that ZF can help tailor the architecture based on them and make technical synthesis according to customer needs." Wang Runyi said.

  For example, the cooperation between ZF and Tiantong Weishi not only speeds up the R&D process of ZF localization, but also shortens the technology R&D cycle, accelerates the technology iteration speed, and enables the latest technology to be put into the market better and faster. By strengthening technical exchanges, the two sides will jointly build a new platform with complementary advantages and win-win cooperation.

  As Wang Runyi said, "China is the top priority of ZF’s future development strategy. We will continue to increase investment in China, welcome the deepening exchanges between partners inside and outside the industry with an open mind, look forward to the future together, and explore different cooperation modes. Qi Xin will work together to turn challenges into opportunities, which will make it impossible and possible."

■ Editor’s summary:

  In addition to the automatic parking service technology launched this time, ZF has continuously expanded its business boundaries in recent years, focusing on the "next generation travel" strategy. For example, the establishment of the electric drive technology division, the integration with the commercial vehicle technology company Webeco, the sales of independent software solutions and the establishment of a brand-new software center. There are no enterprises that are always successful, only enterprises that constantly adapt to the general trend of the times. (Text/car home Peng Fei)

On the whole, although the overall revenue decreased in the second quarter, the gross profit, operating profit and adjusted net profit all ushered in year-on-year growth, of which the operating profit and net profit reached 4.04 billion yuan and 5.14 billion yuan respectively, both of which increased by more than 130% year-on-year.

And published together with various financial data,There is also a set of data about Xiaomi’s automobile business: 1.4 billion yuan of research and development expenses.

Financial Information of Xiaomi Group in the Second Quarter of 2023

In this regard, Lu Weibing, partner of Xiaomi Group, president of the group and chairman of the brand Committee, revealed that thanks to the efficient use of funds, "this figure is even less than we expected."

Since the official announcement of the car, according to the public financial data, Xiaomi Group has invested more than 5.5 billion yuan in the automobile business, from supply to manufacturing, to products and sales..

The time plan for mass production in the first half of 2024 is getting closer and closer. What is the specific progress of Xiaomi Automobile??

01

Acknowledging the summer test, the progress of building a car exceeded expectations.

Although in the financial report meeting, Lu Weibing made it clear that the news about Xiaomi Automobile was not authorized by the company and could not be disclosed more, but a small part of the news was released.

He clearly admitted that Xiaomi Automobile had conducted a summer test in Xinjiang, and the progress was very smooth..

On August 19th this year, Lei Jun, chairman of Xiaomi, took a group photo on social media, with the IP belonging to Xinjiang, and the banner held by everyone in the photo read "Fight for Xiaomi Automobile".

Recently, Lei Jun released the Weibo in Xinjiang

This has aroused widespread concern from the outside world, and it has been speculated that Xiaomi Automobile is very likely to conduct a road test in Xinjiang in summer, and Lei Jun personally leads the team.

"Two days ago, I and Lei Zong sent Weibo’s IP to show in Xinjiang at the same time, and everyone was wondering whether we went to Xinjiang to take part in the summer test, which is true. Our summer test should be said to be very smooth. " In response to this incident, Lu Weibing gave a positive answer.

He added:"Our goal of mass production and sales in the first half of 2024 has not changed. Now everything is going very smoothly, which can be said to have exceeded our original expectations and plans.. "

According to Lu Weibing,Xiaomi Automobile currently has nearly 3,000 R&D personnel.. "When Xiaomi Automobile chose to enter the automobile industry from the beginning, we made all the layouts from the perspective of’ a century-old industrial change’ and with the strategic goal of’ Xiaomi will enter the top five global electric vehicle brands in the future’. Based on this layout, we adopted the whole process of self-research, and almost all aspects of our first car were self-developed by Xiaomi. "

Due to the choice of self-built factories and full-stack self-research, Lu Weibing said frankly,Xiaomi automobile has adopted a very over-investment approach."It can be said that in order to ensure the smooth progress of the first car, we have invested a lot. We will also disclose relevant investment every quarter, which can be used as a reference for Xiaomi’s investment in automobiles. Of course, from the perspective of cash flow, it may be faster. "

Everything seems to be ready, from manufacturing to channels.

Although Lu Weibing didn’t disclose much, we can still find out how Xiaomi’s car-making business is progressing from the aspects of supply side, manufacturing side, product side and sales side.

First of all, look at the supply of parts.

In the era of new energy vehicles, the most important part is the battery, regardless of the cost or the function of the whole vehicle.

Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited is rumored to be one of the suppliers of power batteries for Xiaomi Automobile.

Earlier, according to Interface News, Xiaomi Automobile has confirmed that Zhongchuang Singapore Airlines and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited are the primary and secondary power battery suppliers at this stage. BYD, which was previously speculated by the outside world, is not on the supply chain list.

However, some insiders told Cybercar that,The power battery supplier of Xiaomi Automobile has already been determined, and it will still adopt the combination of Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited and BYD, in which Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited will supply ternary lithium batteries to Xiaomi Automobile and BYD will supply lithium iron phosphate batteries..

No matter which battery manufacturer’s products are used, it is certain that Xiaomi will adopt a multi-supplier model in the supply of power batteries from the very beginning..

On the one hand, it has absorbed the experience of the predecessors of the new energy main engine factory in the previous two years. In 2022, many new energy OEMs adopted a single supplier model for some parts and components, and all of them were cut off under the impact of the epidemic, resulting in that they could not produce and deliver on time even if they had more orders, which not only reduced the capacity utilization rate, but also caused orders to be unsubscribed by users.

On the other hand, although Xiaomi Automobile is already a big traffic user before it is officially listed, what is always seen in the automobile industry is the sales volume, not the topic heat. Xiaomi Automobile, which has no mass production delivery experience, does not have much bargaining power in front of suppliers.

After the introduction of the multi-supplier model, coupled with the obvious oversupply of power batteries, Xiaomi Automobile has more initiative.

In the supply of other key components, we can spy on Xiaomi’s capital layout..

Among them, in terms of lidar, Xiaomi has invested in four lidar manufacturers, including Hesai Technology, Innovusion Tudatong, Beixing Photon and Sagitar Juchuang, through Xiaomi Group, Xiaomi Investment and Shunwei Capital associated with Lei Jun; In the autonomous driving solution, Xiaomi also invested in Zongmu Technology, Geometry Partners, Smart Walker and Momenta, and even acquired the autonomous driving company Deepmotion, taking its accumulated technology in intelligent driving perception, decision-making, planning and control as the basis for self-research.

On the manufacturing side, the Yizhuang Phase I factory built by Xiaomi Automobile is nearing completion, and its annual production capacity is expected to reach 150,000-200,000 vehicles.. It is reported that Yizhuang factory has also started to recruit workers in large quantities for more than 100 job vacancies in painting, welding and battery workshops.

Yizhuang will become the future R&D and manufacturing center of Xiaomi Automobile.

But in 2023, production qualification is the most important thing for car companies in the manufacturing end.

After the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology successively issued the Regulations on the Administration of Newly Built Pure Electric Passenger Cars and the Regulations on the Administration of New Energy Vehicle Manufacturers and Products Access, it is difficult to enter the new energy market in 2023. Both the self-traveler and Jidu were subject to the new regulations, or regretted leaving temporarily, or turned to seek a new car-making model.

But recently,According to the report of Reuters, Xiaomi Automobile has removed this obstacle and obtained relevant vehicle-making qualifications, but the reason and process for Xiaomi Automobile’s specific qualification are unknown..

In terms of products,According to the public information, the first two products of Xiaomi Automobile will be marked with Tesla Model 3 and Model Y respectively, and it is likely to provide a battery version of 101kWh, and there is also a high probability that at least an optional version of lidar will be provided..

Regarding the most important selling price,According to insiders, the starting price of Xiaomi’s first car will probably drop below 200,000 yuan and reach the level of 170,000 yuan..

Judging from the summer test performance of Xiaomi Automobile exposed by Hu Zhengnan, a partner of Shunwei Capital Investment, in Weibo a few days ago,In the high temperature environment, Xiaomi automobile can give a performance of 8.8kWh/100km. For comparison, the reference data of Model 3 energy consumption given by Tesla is 12.6kWh/100km..

On the whole,With the starting price of 170,000 yuan, plus 101kWh battery, lidar version and 8.8kWh/100km energy consumption, Xiaomi’s first product is already quite competitive..

Hu Zhengnan released the energy consumption performance of Xiaomi automobile in summer test in his Weibo.

Finally,existOn the sales side, Xiaomi is likely to learn from Huawei, select some of its own more than 10,000 channel stores and upgrade them to user centers. Even if only one tenth of the stores are upgraded, there are about 1,000, which is also the level of the head of the domestic new energy main engine factory..

According to the public information, Xiaomi Automobile has started the site selection of the delivery center, requiring the candidate venue to provide at least 120 parking spaces, and the construction area should not be less than 3,000 square meters.

Besides,Lei Jun also revealed two small messages at this year’s Xiaomi annual conference:At present, almost all smart electric vehicles are equipped with wireless charging; The perception system of the second generation robot dog iron egg is somewhat similar to the current intelligent car perception system..

Can you go public on an auspicious day? Xiaomi automobile not only owes Dongfeng.

From supply to manufacturing, from products to sales, Xiaomi Automobile seems to be fully prepared for the launch of the first product.

However, Xiaomi Automobile is really ready for everything, only owing to the east wind. Can it be listed on an auspicious day? It doesn’t seem to be.

After the arrival of the new energy wave, the situation of the whole automobile industry can be said to be changing rapidly, and no matter how many and prudent plans, they can’t keep up with the changes.

Some netizens broke the news and photographed four Xiaomi car test cars in Xinjiang.

From the price point of view,Xiaomi’s first car product is selected as the benchmark Model 3. If the starting price really comes to 170,000 yuan, it means that it is 30,000 yuan cheaper than the current Model 3. This price is very attractive to consumers..

But the mantis catches cicadas, and the yellowbird is behind. On August 28th, Tucki announced that it would lower the price threshold of intelligent electric vehicles to 150,000 yuan. Tucki officially announced that it will acquire Didi’s existing and highly-completed pure electric platform, and launch 150,000-yuan B-end +C-end products on this platform, among which the C-end products will be empowered by Tucki’s roll-up structure and XNGP intelligent assisted driving system.

In this way,Although Xiaomi car products are cheaper than Model 3, their advantages are not obvious compared with Tucki..

Not only that, thanks to the gambling agreement signed with Didi, Tucki’s upcoming 150,000-yuan products will not worry about sales. There is a high probability that there will be a sales scale of 100,000 vehicles every year, while Xiaomi needs to fight alone to fight our way out.

In addition,Xiaomi should also be prepared to "support one child for the whole family" at the beginning of the business..

Xiaomi’s second-quarter financial report data shows that the overall gross profit margin of Xiaomi in this quarter, as well as the gross profit margin of smart phone business and IoT and consumer products business, all reached new highs, reaching more than 13%.

However, from Wei Xiaoli to Zero Run, Nezha, Ai ‘an, etc., all the new OEMs in recent years started with negative gross profit margin and huge losses. Li Bin, founder and CEO of Weilai Automobile, even admitted that "it is impossible to build a car without 40 billion yuan".

Once it officially enters the market, I am afraid that Xiaomi’s auto business will not only face losses, but also drag down the financial data of Xiaomi Group and even affect the performance of the Group in the secondary market.

Xiaomi has rich experience in hardware manufacturing, and the existing sales channel network is also one of the advantages.

But on the bright side,Thanks to the origin of its own mobile phone manufacturer, Xiaomi may also save a lot of costs in terms of large-scale production, sales network layout and some R&D expenditures..

Among them,Different from Wei Xiaoli, Xiaomi has the experience of large-scale hardware manufacturing and mass delivery, and there should be no "productivity hell" in the initial stage of vehicle delivery..

In addition, as mentioned above, Xiaomi Automobile can choose to upgrade its existing offline stores instead of relocating them to deploy its sales network.

What’s more, in order to ensure the competitiveness of the mobile phone business, Xiaomi has laid out the AI ? ? big model technology.Lu Weibing also revealed in the conference call that AI will definitely be combined with "Little Love Classmate" (Xiaomi’s artificial intelligence assistant) in the future. After the release of automobile products, Xiaomi’s accumulated technology in human-computer interaction and AI big model can also be directly adapted to the car end, without extra time and effort to develop related functions for the intelligent cockpit from scratch..

All in all, thanks to its years of experience in the field of mobile phones and IoT, Xiaomi Automobile can be said to have a considerable degree of software and hardware R&D and manufacturing capabilities, not to mention being born with a golden spoon, but even so, in the increasingly cruel automobile market, Xiaomi Automobile is still a long way from getting a "real ticket".

How did Ziguangge, a century-old shop, sell waste oil?

  CCTV News:These days, the hip-hop singer PG One has been criticized by Ziguangge, the official website of the Communist Youth League Central Committee, People’s Daily, CCTV News and other authoritative organizations because there are a lot of negative factors in her lyrics. Among them, Ziguangge even issued three Weibo articles in succession, criticizing PG One for drug-related, vulgar music and insulting women.

  Screenshot of Weibo Hot Search List

 

  Screenshot of PG One fan group chat circulating on the Internet (authenticity to be tested)

  On January 7th, it was revealed in Weibo that PG One fans mistakenly thought that Ziguangge was a hotel official micro, and they suspected that the hot search topic "Ziguangge gutter oil" wanted to destroy it. At the same time, searching for "Ziguangge" in Weibo, besides the first-ranked gutter oil, other topics include "selling incense burners", "marketing numbers" and "restaurants".

 

  After the "Ziguangge Waste Oil" was listed, Ziguangge Guanwei publicly responded in a humorous tone. "# Ziguangge Waste Oil # was hot searched? How to deal with this negative public opinion? The purple baby can only hide in the Ziguangge Hotel in the downstairs canteen and tremble. "

  According to the certification data of Ziguangge in Weibo, Ziguangge is a Weibo established by Ziguangge magazine of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China State Organs Working Committee, which is an important party magazine of the State Council system. Obviously, as an authoritative media, Ziguangge has nothing to do with hotels.

  The reply from the official of Ziguangge, Microcomputer Zhi, triggered a network carnival. The major officials "practiced the party’s mass line education and practice activities, and truly came from the masses, went to the masses, and became one with the people!"

  According to media reports, hot search in Weibo has become an industrial chain, with the top three quotes in the hot search list ranging from 50,000 to 60,000 yuan. This further strengthens the suspicion that PG One fans buy hot search black Ziguangge. Some netizens even broke the news that PG One fans are launching crowdfunding, and each 50 yuan is preparing for the next round of action.

  The behavior of PG One fans suspected of buying hot search has attracted a lot of criticism, and netizens have accused fans of being distorted and losing their minds. Some netizens pointed out: "Everyone criticized PG One because they were worried that he would bring bad young people. Fans of PG One proved to the central media with practical actions that PG One did bring bad young people."

 

  However, the incident began to reverse on the afternoon of the 8 th. In response to the hot search behavior, Weibo officially responded publicly, saying "‘ Ziguangge waste oil ’ I didn’t go to the hot search list yesterday! " Weibo said that the word began to be searched by users at 19:30 on the 7th. In the normal search volume, only 3.26% of users paid attention to "Honghuahui PG_ONE", and the rest were enthusiastic participants of a large number of (onlookers) users, which led to the continuous rise of the popularity. It was displayed in the "real-time rising hotspot" at 20:42 and lasted for more than ten minutes. However, due to the lack of search volume, it failed to board the website. In other words, the "hot search list" of netizens’ screenshots is not the top "hot search list", but a "real-time rising hot spot", because the participation of onlookers led to an increase in heat, and later it did not go to the real hot search list.

  Weibo’s official response proves that the hot search on "Ziguangge Waste Oil" is not driven by PG One fans, but is caused by onlookers.

  In addition, Weibo also said that there are indeed promotions and advertisements on the hot search list, and advertisements are displayed with the word "recommendation" on the right side of the list. However, "Ziguangge gutter oil" cannot be purchased as a hot word. "Advertising also has a review mechanism, and it can only be used if it is legal and compliant."

  This practice of setting up a target and then criticizing it has naturally aroused the resentment of some netizens. Netizens began to reflect on the attack on PG One fans:

  In fact, if you only attack your own vertical target, it will only make the supporter more determined and attract some resentment from the neutral party. It is said that there is a way to whitewash the pink circle, that is, fans themselves add a little false black material and then overthrow it, which will make people who don’t know the truth think that all these black materials are false. This situation must not be what the masses of onlookers want to see.

  However, although the "Ziguangge gutter oil" incident is just the entertainment of onlookers, idolize, whose fans are blind and irrational, is still worthy of attention. From the "seeking for a hammer" of Joker Xue fans to the blind maintenance of PG One fans, the reality has proved that idolize, who is irrational, can not only help idols, but also harm idols and even lead the fire to himself. When our favorite idol does something wrong, we should support him to bear the due price, and then believe that he will turn over a new leaf instead of desperately defending him.

  Bacon said, "People think that their reason dominates words, but sometimes words dominate reason." Blind powder and brainless black are not desirable. Don’t give up the bottom line because of love or disgust! (Text/Huang Zuochun)
