German high-quality sedan Volkswagen Maiteng

As a user who has studied cars, let me tell you about the comparison between Passat and Maiteng.

In the intelligent pilot area, although Passat also has a good configuration, Maiteng is obviously better. Maiteng has a new network architecture, which greatly improves the reaction speed and running fluency of the vehicle system. The intelligent driving auxiliary features are very powerful, and the predictive adaptive cruise can intelligently adjust the speed according to the road conditions ahead, making driving easy and worry-free. The lane-level navigation function is extremely accurate, and there is no need to worry about going the wrong way. The automatic parking IPA is a lifesaver for someone like me who is not very good at parking skills. AR navigation is full of technology, which makes driving more interesting. The fully upgraded IP image looks particularly stylish, and the voice interaction is also very sensitive, which can execute my instructions quickly and accurately. Travel Assist travel auxiliary features make long-distance driving no longer tiring. And Maiteng has done an excellent job in active safety, active-passive integration and passive safety, giving me a full sense of security.

In comparison, Passat’s performance in these intelligent navigation aspects is slightly inferior. In short, Maiteng’s advantage in intelligent navigation makes me more inclined to choose it.

Extreme Krypton 009 "Double A Column" Hard Just 30 Tons Concrete Mixer Truck "Top Pressure Killer"

Recently, Extreme Krypton joined the China Automotive Industry Center’s TOP Safety Challenge Platform to successfully complete the Extreme Krypton 009 "Double A-pillar" challenge to the dynamic top pressure of a 30-ton concrete mixer truck, and received an authoritative report from CCTV News on the National Traffic Safety Day on December 2, once again defending the "safest in the world" industry reputation.

This challenge restores the rollover situation that often occurs in real life: at the intersection, a large concrete mixer truck with a total weight of 30 tons turned right on the unilateral bridge at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour, and rolled to the left to form a collision and rolling on the roof of the main driver of the polar krypton 009. "Double A-pillars" bear the brunt.

The test results show that after being subjected to the overload impact of the mixer tank, the front windshield of the JK 009 car only cracked at the angle, the body structure was intact, and the ABC column of the vehicle did not show obvious bending, depression or rupture. The doors and taildoors on both sides of the car can be switched on and off normally, the chassis air spring rebounds normally, the erosion of the passenger compartment is not obvious, and the head, neck, spine, chest, hips and legs of the dummy in the car are all excellent. The vehicle can run normally, and the three electricity safety is all normal.

Hard and rigid "top pressure killer" exceeds the national standard by 11 times the top pressure strength

As we all know, large trucks and concrete mixers are prone to rollover on the roof of passenger cars due to their high quality and high center of gravity, becoming a veritable "top pressure killer", and top pressure is often a weak link in the safety design of many models.

Extreme Krypton 009, as the world’s first native pure electric luxury, completely subverts the traditional safety defects. The maximum pressure resistance is 128kN, and the roof can bear up to 13 tons. In order to verify the safety performance of Extreme Krypton 009, this test changed the static pressure working condition of the national standard to the dynamic working condition, and the difficulty was greatly improved. To further improve the difficulty, the 30-ton concrete mixer truck completed the rollover through the unilateral bridge climbing, with a higher center of gravity than flat ground driving and greater collision energy. In the comparison test before the test, an elderly scooter instantly became a "waste" under the rolling pressure of the mixer truck.

The contact area between the tank and the body is only 0.025 square meters

"Double A-pillar" hardcore absorbs energy and creates a safety fortress

Extreme Krypton’s outstanding safety performance is no accident. Unlike most that only use a single A-pillar, Extreme Krypton 009, known as "Highway Tankrypton", introduced a hidden double A-pillar into the model, setting an industry precedent.

The A-pillar of Extreme Krypton 009 uses 2000MPa ultra-high strength thermoformed steel, the yield strength is 2 times that of nuclear submarine steel and 8 times that of ordinary process, and the CBS composite filling technology is used in the A-pillar. The stable triangular design, four-layer reinforced structure and the load-bearing point is moved back 480mm, so that Extreme Krypton 009 has a wider buffer energy absorption area, which can effectively absorb the frontal and longitudinal impact force of the A-pillar, reducing the damage to the front row passengers. Being able to "withstand" the heavy pressure is not only the safety confidence cast by Extreme Krypton’s "double A-pillar", but also the strength of the hard core to protect the safety of passengers.

This dynamic top pressure challenge was broadcast live throughout the process. In the second scene, Professor Zhang Jinhuai, director of the Automotive Crash Test Room of the State Key Laboratory of Automotive Safety and Energy Conservation of Tsinghua University, and Yang Heping, a senior safety expert at Extreme Krypton, jointly witnessed the real top pressure safety test results of Extreme Krypton 009.

"The scientific design method of the triangular double A-pillar has played an important role in this dynamic top pressure test", "In terms of design, materials, craftsmanship, etc., the body of the extreme krypton 009 is the best, and it is well deserved!", Professor Zhang Jin gave a high evaluation of the safety ability of the extreme krypton 009 at the scene. "In addition to ensuring the safety of passengers, the safety of the three electricity is equally important. During the collision process, not only must the passengers be protected in all aspects, but also the normal operation of the three electricity needs to be ensured," added Yang Heping, a senior safety expert at the extreme krypton.

Extreme safety gene, all-round care for user safety, in this live broadcast challenge, Extreme Krypton once again led the industry’s testing standards, using the most demanding crash test to build a well-deserved "safety fortress".

The safest in the world, once again verifying the national reputation of "Highway Tankrypton"

All along, the safety performance of JK 009 has been tested by "actual combat" for a long time. For example, JK 009 has rear-ended a semi-trailer, but the A-pillar did not bend, instead tearing a hole in the thick steel plate of the semi-trailer’s tail. Coincidentally, JK 009 was rear-ended by a double-decker bus and then hit the front. Only the front cabin was deformed and the rear window glass was broken, and the frame structure remained highly intact. At the same time, the vehicle can even maintain normal driving, indicating that the three electric and transmission systems have not been damaged.

After the double-decker bus collided with the SUV in front, it can still drive normally

"Don’t be afraid of collision, don’t catch fire", excellent safety genes, derived from the 720 ° all-round safety armor protection of "Extreme Krypton Safety". In addition to the hard core "double A pillar", in terms of battery safety protection, Extreme Krypton 009 pioneered the "ten grids" battery anti-collision structure, using the industry’s thickest aluminum side anti-collision beam, which buffers the battery layer by layer when it is hit. Relying on NTP non-thermal spread and no fire technology, it can effectively prevent battery combustion. Extreme Krypton products have been delivered to more than 180,000 vehicles, and it still maintains the "world’s only zero spontaneous combustion" record. This is the best proof of Extreme Krypton safety.

Polar Krypton 009

"Shigongge" battery anti-collision structure

In the traditional weakest rear of the car, JK009 has also successfully created an integrated die-cast rear-end aluminum body through the industry’s largest 7200-ton giant die-casting machine, reducing the welding point by nearly 800, reducing the deformation by 16% in the event of impact, increasing the bending stiffness by 11%, and increasing the torsional stiffness by 9.5%. The vehicle stiffness is more than three times that of traditional luxury, effectively protecting the rear safety. Not only that, but the integrated die-cast rear-end aluminum body has also set up a two-stage removable buffer structure through an innovative four-stage collision partition strategy, which can greatly reduce the maintenance cost of the vehicle after a collision.

Polar Krypton 009

The world’s largest integrated die-cast rear-end aluminum body

Hardcore guards safety, strength is not afraid of pressure! In the face of various difficult tests, Extreme Krypton 009 writes safety into its genes, not only achieving all-round protection of 720-degree safety armor, but also establishing internal standards in safety conditions that are not met by global standards such as front center pillar collision and 15 azimuth side collision tests. It can not only answer additional questions, but also achieve "autonomous life scroll".

Defining "Highway Krypton" with "Extreme Krypton Safety" not only brings users "all six seats are safe", but also raises the pure electric luxury safety standard to a new height!

Engine technology tour, detailed explanation of Ford GTDi engine

  [Pacific Auto Network, Technology Channel]Ford 2.0L GTDi engine was first deployed in 2011 Ford in China. This GTDi engine, which combines advanced technologies such as turbocharging and direct injection, is better than Volkswagen’s TSI and GM’s EcoTec T. This article will give you a detailed analysis of Ford’s GTDi engine used in Mondeo-Win.

EcoBoost 

● Engine basic parameters:

Ford EcoBoost 2.0L GTDi engine basic parameters name Ford EcoBoost 2.0L GTDi240 Ford EcoBoost 2.0L GTDi200 Intake form Turbo Turbo Cylinder arrangement inline four inline four stroke four stroke four stroke Number of valves per cylinder 4 4 Cylinder head/block material Aluminum/Aluminum Aluminum/Aluminum Valve mechanism DOHC (Overhead Double Camshaft) DOHC (Overhead Double Camshaft) Oil supply method in-cylinder direct injection in-cylinder direct injection bore 87.5Mm 87.5Mm piston stroke 83.1Mm 83.1Mm compression ratio 10.1 10.1 Maximum power 176.5kW (240PS) @6000rpm 149kW (203PS) @6000rpm Maximum torque 340Nm @3500-3500rpm 300Nm @1750-4500rpm Fuel label 93 (Beijing 92) 93 (Beijing 92) Oil type 5W30 fully synthetic motor oil (factory standard) 5W30 fully synthetic motor oil (factory standard)
Tabulation: www.PCauto.com.cn

The meaning of GTDi

GTDI

  GTDi is an abbreviation for Gasoline, Turbocharged and Direct Injection, which means that the engine is a gasoline engine with turbocharging and in-cylinder direct injection technology. Advanced turbocharging technology and in-cylinder direct injection technology enable the Ford GTDi engine with a displacement of only 2.0L to exhibit the power output of a large-displacement engine and the high torque characteristics of a diesel engine. 

  Before conducting an in-depth analysis of the Ford 2.0L EcoBoost GTDi engine, let’s take a look at this official video to have a sentimental understanding of this engine. Although it is an official video, there is actually a lack of rigor in it. After watching this article and then watching the video, you will easily notice that the answer will be revealed in the article on the last page.

Ford 2.0L EcoBoost GTDi engine life mystery

MKR

  The EcoBoost direct fuel injection turbocharged engine technology has received 125 patents and patent applications in the United States. The EcoBoost V6 is the first product of the EcoBoost series of engines and is mounted on the 2007 Lincoln MKR concept car. The V6 engine uses the Ford Duratec 35 V6 engine body and raises the fuel pressure to 190bar for direct injection in the cylinder; at the same time, the Garrett GT15 turbocharger runs at 170000rpm and provides an intake pressure of 1.06bar. The engine is designed to output the power equivalent of a typical 6.0 L or larger V8 engine, while improving fuel economy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 15% compared to the V8 engine. It is precisely because this engine technology can increase power while reducing emissions that it is named EcoBoost, which can be understood in Chinese as "promoting environmental protection".

Explorer

  Closer to home, the 2.0L EcoBoost GTDi engine that I will focus on in this article was first used in the 2008 Ford Explorer America concept car, and the power output was tuned to 275PS and 380Nm. The engine announced that it has the performance of a 3.0L V6 engine while optimizing fuel economy by 10% -20%. Its official production time was in 2010. The Ford S-MAX, the Ford Galaxy, and the familiar Mondeo Victory all used this engine.

Mondeo wins

  The 2.0L EcoBoost GTDi engine used on the 2011 Mondeo Win is available in two different versions, the high-powered version and the low-powered version. The Mondeo Win with the high-powered version is identified as a GTDi240, indicating that it can output a maximum power of 240PS, while the Mondeo Win with the low-powered version is identified as a GTDi200, indicating that it can output a maximum power of 203PS. The specific parameters of the two different engines can be found in the basic parameters listed at the beginning of the article.

EcoBoost 1.6 1.0 

  Ford is expected to launch 1.6L and 1.0L engines using EcoBoost technology in China in 2013. The two new engines will be installed in the new Focus and Fiesta cars.

Dongfeng Lantu’s 100,000 vehicle rolled off the assembly line, Wuhan Economic Development Zone ran out of the car incremental transformation acceleration

21st Century Business Herald reporter Wang Xue, intern Ma Xiaoyu, reporting from Wuhan

As the "China Car Valley", the Wuhan Economic Development Zone is accelerating on the road to realizing the incremental transformation of the automobile industry.

On April 9, Dongfeng Lantu Automobile announced that the company’s 100,000 new energy vehicle had rolled off the assembly line. "This marks the initial formation of Dongfeng Lantu’s large-scale effect, which will enable Dongfeng Company to seize the industrial frontier, build a trillion-level automobile industry cluster in Wuhan, and build a high-end electric vehicle industry base." Liu Ziqing, a member of the Standing Committee of the Wuhan Municipal Party Committee and secretary of the Wuhan Economic Development Zone Working Committee, said.

In recent years, the new energy automobile industry breakout competition in Guangdong, Shanghai, Chongqing, Hubei, Shandong, Jilin and other major automobile manufacturing provinces has intensified. However, before that, the overall scale of Hubei’s new energy automobile industry was not high. The national new energy vehicle sales ranking shows that in 2023, Hubei Province’s new energy vehicle sales 163,400 vehicles and output 388,000 vehicles, ranking about tenth in the country.

Therefore, Hubei Province wants to strive to break through in the fierce market, and proposes to build an important new energy vehicle production base in the country by 2025, and plan the production capacity of new energy vehicles to be more than 2.50 million. It is worth noting that the sales volume of new energy vehicles in 2022 will exceed that of Shandong Province in Hubei, and the goal of new energy vehicle production in 2025 will reach 1 million.

How can Hubei achieve the established production capacity goals? As the "main battlefield" of Hubei’s automobile industry, the Wuhan Economic Development Zone proposes to promote the incremental transformation of the automobile industry and accelerate the release of new energy vehicle production capacity; on the other hand, increase the "leading + small and medium-sized enterprises" industrial ecological construction, strengthen the close coordination between vehicle enterprises and technology enterprises, and build a more resilient new energy vehicle supply chain.

Accelerate the release of new energy vehicle production capacity

Since the beginning of this year, the tide of price cuts has hit new energy vehicles. On March 1 alone, according to statistics, at least 9 car companies officially announced price cuts or limited-time discounts. Some industry insiders believe that price cuts are an inevitable choice because of overcapacity and oversupply of new energy vehicles. In this regard, Shao Mingfeng, general manager of Lantu Automotive Sales and Service Co., Ltd., said, "At present, there is still a lot of room for the penetration rate of new energy vehicles in third-, fourth- and fifth-tier cities. For example, the penetration rate in the southwest market is less than 20%. Therefore, from the perspective of the penetration rate, there is no overcapacity of new energy vehicles in China."

Therefore, in order to continuously improve the market share, Wuhan Economic Development Zone will accelerate the release of new energy vehicle production capacity, promote Dongfeng Lantu, Lotus, Yunfeng, Warriors and other new energy vehicle enterprises to reach production as soon as possible, and promote the completion of the new energy plant in Dongben.

Among them, Landmap aims to reach the second 100,000 in 2024, and the annual sales volume will be doubled. The company’s CEO Lu Zai said in an interview that the sales volume of Landmap cars in 2023 exceeded 50,000, an increase of 160% year-on-year; the cumulative sales volume from January to March this year was 16,345, an increase of 188% year-on-year.

It is worth noting that during the National Two Sessions this year, Zhang Yuzhuo, director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, "shouted" that three central automobile enterprises, China FAW, Dongfeng Group and Changan Automobile, said they would evaluate their new energy vehicle business separately.

"This is a very realistic decision. Although the new energy automobile industry has been developing for more than ten years, from the perspective of the automobile industry for a hundred years, new energy vehicles are still an emerging industry compared with traditional vehicles. At this stage, if the new energy automobile industry is to grow rapidly and healthily, it is necessary to design assessment indicators that conform to the current development and conform to the laws of the development of enterprises and industries." Lu Fang said, "For Lantu and many state-owned enterprises engaged in new energy vehicles, it is a good signal, allowing enterprises to focus more on considering products, markets and sustainable development of enterprises."

In addition, Lotus Technology, which was registered in the Wuhan Economic Development Zone in December 2020, is also accelerating the release of production capacity. The company’s financial report shows that in 2023, the company delivered a total of 6,970 vehicles, setting an annual delivery record in the 76-year history of the Lotus brand, of which electric models accounted for 63% of the total delivery.

Regarding the 2024 guidance, Lotus Technology said that 2024 is a critical year for Lotus Technology to implement its Vision80 strategy. The company will accelerate the delivery of its leading product portfolio in new markets, and expects total deliveries to increase by approximately three times to 26,000 vehicles, and gross margins will further increase to 17% to 19%.

According to public information, in 2023, Wuhan Economic Development Zone will add 200,000 new energy vehicle production capacity, and the output of new energy vehicles will increase by 30%. "Wuhan Economic Development Zone has gathered 9 vehicle companies, 13 vehicle factories, and more than 1,200 auto parts companies. Automobile production accounts for about half of Hubei Province. In promoting the transformation and upgrading of the automobile industry, we must lead the way." Wuhan Economic Development Zone staff said.

Building a new business model for the automotive industry 

In addition to accelerating the release of new energy vehicle production capacity, the Wuhan Economic Development Zone proposed to accelerate the construction of a new ecology of the automobile industry, increase the construction of "leading + small and medium-sized enterprises" industrial ecology, strengthen the driving and synergy of vehicle enterprises, and further promote "zero coordination".

Liu Ziqing pointed out that since 2023, Wuhan Economic Development Zone has successively launched a new energy and intelligent network industry strategy to enhance the action plan and the development of the automotive core parts industry action plan, with 3 billion yuan to support enterprise innovation, the establishment of 50 billion yuan industry fund, and the top enterprises to strengthen industrial cooperation, promote the upstream and downstream supply chain depth cooperation, through resource sharing and complementary advantages, to form a set of design, research and development, production and sales in one of the complete industrial chain.

Lu Fang told reporters, "As a representative player in the new energy vehicle competition in Hubei Province, Lantu Auto has driven many traditional fuel vehicle parts companies to transition to new energy and accelerated the evolution of the automotive industry chain. On the other hand, it has also driven many parts companies to transition to the full value chain."

"It turns out that many auto parts companies in Wuhan are just manufacturers. Under the impetus of Landmap, many parts companies have built up R & D, project management and other capabilities. At the same time, some suppliers can also develop and manufacture high-value parts from scratch, and achieve independent innovation." Lu Fang further pointed out that the current near-geoization rate of Dongfeng Landmap suppliers is 41%.

Only when products have markets and orders can enterprises develop scale. In addition to increasing domestic market share, new energy vehicle enterprises in Wuhan Economic Development Zone are also planning "new channels" to go to sea.

According to the introduction, Lantu chose Nordic Norway as the first stop to go overseas. Shao Mingfeng explained, "Europe is the strongest industrial town, and it is also the most powerful brand of traditional cars. If Lantu gnaws a bone in the traditional strong car market in Europe, other markets will be easier to expand."

It is reported that Lantu FREE and Lantu Dreamer are currently on sale in Europe, and Lantu Chasing Light has also made its debut in Europe, entering Norway, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, Bulgaria and other European countries. It is expected to land in Italy, Germany, Spain, Portugal and other countries in the second quarter of this year.

It is also worth mentioning that this year China’s first car manufacturer IPO took off in Wuhan Economic Development Zone. On February 23, Lotus Technology landed in US stocks. Han Fangliang, deputy director of the Wuhan Economic Development Zone Management Committee, pointed out in an interview with the media that Lotus Technology’s US stock listing has created experience for more companies in Wuhan Economic Development Zone to enter the capital markets, and its international influence will promote the coordinated development of the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, and accelerate the pace of Wuhan Economic Development Zone automobile industry chain enterprises going overseas.

"The Wuhan Economic Development Zone will actively strengthen industrial collaboration with leading enterprises such as Lotus and Landmap, promote in-depth cooperation between upstream and downstream supply chains in the region, and form a complete industrial chain integrating design, research and development, production and sales through resource sharing and complementary advantages; encourage vehicle and parts enterprises to carry out technological innovation and industrial upgrading, improve the competitiveness and sustainable development ability of the automobile industry; encourage leading enterprises to strengthen cooperation with universities and scientific research institutions, and jointly promote the transformation and application of scientific and technological innovation achievements." Han Fangliang further said.
