2170 Improve product power
There is another reason why the factory was placed in Jilin Province.
In the future, they will start cooperation with Hongqi in the early, mid-to-high-end market.
In fact, if we talk about the high-end model of our Long Country, Hongqi is definitely one.
Although the development of this car company was very difficult in the past few years, it was all due to specific historical reasons.
Moreover, domestic people have often criticized this brand in those years, thinking that they have taken so much money but cannot produce something decent.
Indeed, in those years, the development of the Red Flag was disappointing.
But in recent years, they have become a little bit new and have launched several best-selling models.
And sales have also increased, with annual sales reaching more than 400,000 vehicles.
This is definitely a major breakthrough for Hongqi.
However, at present, the sales volume is not very stable because Hongqi does not have any technology that can be used to show off.
To put it bluntly, it is this brand, and it has many beliefs and followers.
If they can use a little snack and make a similar car, the people are still willing to pay for them.
Because in the hearts of ordinary people, there is a simple understanding, that is, this car is ours.
You can say that his technology is not particularly leading, but he is indeed a real high-end brand here.
In the upcoming era of electric vehicles, Xiao Feng feels that this car company is not well prepared.
As a domestic brand of belief, he naturally does not want this brand to collapse in the tide of electric vehicles.
Therefore, appropriate technical support is still necessary.
Hongqi has contacted them before, hoping to obtain cooperation, and they also expressed their desire to cooperate.
Now the two sides have started cooperation in the vehicle and machine system.
They specially developed a vehicle-machine interactive artificial intelligence assistance system for Hongqi, and Hongqi was very satisfied with this system.
Now Hongqi is also exercising the hybrid technology of the six-cylinder engine...
In fact, for many car companies, four-cylinder and hybrid are enough.
However, for high-end brands like Hongqi, four-cylinder and hybrid are definitely not enough, and six-cylinder and hybrid must be required.
In fact, Da Ben is also testing this plan.
The hybrid system of Hongqi is the technical support provided by Xinghuo Technology.
From batteries to battery system management, they will provide them.
The battery is a ternary lithium battery with a heat pump. Of course, the capacity is not large. It can run about 150 kilometers under full power.
The car also has several working modes, pure electric, the engine starts four cylinders to charge the battery, and then connects in parallel when needed.
On the highway, it can be direct engine drive.
The principle of the whole set of technologies is the same as that of BYD's DMI, but the difficulty is much better than that of BYD's DMI technology.
Because it also involves a technology of closing the cylinder power generation.
That is, when driving at low speed pure electric speed, if the battery power is not enough, then the six-cylinder will start the four-cylinder to work and generate electricity and charge the battery.
Moreover, the transmission used in this model is also a transmission provided by Spark Technology.
This transmission is used in combination with electric mixing and is equipped with a three-speed gear transmission.
In this way, when the car is driving at high speed, there is a variable speed range, so as to achieve the goal of more fuel-saving.
In fact, if you want to say that a pure six-cylinder car is not necessarily very fuel-intensive, such as the classic 2.5-liter 6-cylinder engine of Nissan back then.
Ward's top ten engines are a regular customer on the list for many years.
Although it is a six-cylinder engine, the fuel consumption is not high, but the horsepower is very sufficient.
Unfortunately, I used it well, but because I was often criticized for my old skills and had to be abandoned in the end.
This time, with the technical support of Xinghuo Technology, Hongqi has also made up his mind.
The horsepower of the power system must be maximized, and the fuel consumption must be minimized.
In fact, their cars are selling well outside now, which shows that consumers are very proud of their cars.
But on the other hand, they also face another problem, that is, their cars do not maintain value.
For example, if an SUV car is also a little over 200,000, the SUV car is a joint venture brand, after three years of driving, the retention rate may be around 60%.
However, if Hongqi's car is sold, the value retention rate may be only 50%.
The reason for this is because of product strength!
To put it bluntly, our cars are not doing enough in terms of details.
Although the materials used on the body and interior materials are very conscientious.
But the problem is the matching of the engine and the transmission, and the experience of using these two originals after three years of use.
The fuel consumption may be higher, or the matching may not be done properly, so it makes people feel that the coordination is not so smooth when driving.
These details are the main reasons that affect the price of this car in the used car market.
If a car performs poorly in the used car market, it will inevitably affect the sales of the entire car in the long run.
And over time, it will also affect your brand power.
Now Hongqi has always had brand power, but the worst is product power.
This time, cooperation with Xinghuo Technology is to make up for the shortcomings in product strength.
It is precisely because of its cooperation with Hongqi that Xinghuo Technology puts this battery factory here.
Of course, another reason is that this place is now our back, which is relatively safe.
At the same time, Xinghuo Technology is also developing another product.
That is the lithium battery recycling and processing production line!
You should know that with the increasing number of electric vehicles, a large number of lithium batteries have been produced, and what to do if the recycling of lithium batteries has always been a headache.
Many electric vehicles have to be replaced when the batteries attenuate to 70%.
But in fact, batteries with such capacity actually have certain utilization value.
Someone once said that these batteries can be taken to the desert to make energy storage batteries for wind power plants and solar power plants.
We also have companies that have tried this, but the results are not very good.
Because if you really need to operate that way, transportation is a problem.
On the other hand, lithium batteries are both problematic in cold conditions.
If you want to pull lithium batteries into the cold desert to make energy storage devices, you also need to provide these batteries with a factory specially stored and insulated.
This will increase the cost of energy storage.
Some people even make a calculation, recycle it from a big city, then pull it over with a truck, and build a special factory.
