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.

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.
● Engine basic parameters:
Tabulation: www.PCauto.com.cn
The meaning of 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
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".
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.
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.
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.
