Chapter 340 8-speed Transmission

Huayang Seiko became popular under such circumstances!

Originally, when Huayang Precision was founded, Jin Xiaoqiang was a little worried. This is a large-scale comprehensive automotive machinery technology support company. But unlike Huayang Power, Huayang Power specializes in automobiles after all, and Huayang Power

The products are also very unique, have established a firm foothold in the market, and have won credibility.

But a company like Huayang Precision is different. It is a comprehensive service company. Rather than buying technology, it is better to say that what it buys is standards.

You must know that in this world, many automobile companies have the same concept of engines and transmissions, but the technical standards of some small components they use are different.

And everyone is dumping their own standards to consumers. Once that company's standards are widely accepted by consumers, then this company will definitely become the overlord in this field.

For example, companies like Bosch and Aisin Seiko have become two giants in the field of automotive technical support.

Compared with them, Huayang Seiko is still relatively naive. Unlike Bosch, which specializes in the field of automotive electronic control, they now provide relatively low-end technical support. Of course, this is compared with companies like Bosch.

.

They are all hardware components, such as the hydraulic components inside the automatic transmission, electronic control units, etc., or small turbochargers, etc.

These are the expertise of Aisin Seiko. Of course, Jin Xiaoqiang would be a little worried at the beginning when competing for jobs with a behemoth like Aisin with decades of history.

However, as Huayang Seiko opened up its business in the fields of cutting tools and automatic transmissions, and then someone came to ask for their turbochargers, Jin Xiaoqiang felt relieved at this time.

Although the annual sales volume is still not comparable to that of large companies such as Aisin and Bosch, the good start still makes Jin Xiaoqiang feel very relieved. It seems that for a period of time, he will not have to worry about Huayang Precision.

Huayang Seiko's fierceness made Ae-shin's nostrils turn upward, and he felt sour in his heart.

In the past, Aixin's business in China was doing well, and those people in China had to do things based on their faces even though they were unwilling, but now this situation can be said to be gone forever.

People flocked to Huayang Seiko like a swarm, but because Aisin Seiko, who often liked to attach conditions when providing technical support in the past, has completely become a neglected company.

In the past, when it came to automatic transmissions, they simply looked down on those Chinese independent country bumpkins. When they came to buy, Aisin Seiko told them, OK, you can buy it. You have to buy the entire transmission. And they often also correct it.

Their engines have certain restrictions, such as having to use the obsolete 4g series of our Mitsubishi products, etc.

In short, there are many conditions, and many independent brands have backed down because of this reason. After all, the price of a complete automatic transmission is not cheap. They only need important components. If they buy the whole thing, the price is too high. Their

The product has no price advantage in the market.

Moreover, they don’t want to use those outdated Mitsubishi machine heads. If they are installed, consumers will think that they are not high-tech, and in the end they will follow the trend and so on.

Now that we have Huayang Seiko, who needs your bullshit Aisin Seiko!

If you are willing to put on airs, then just go and have fun on your own! I won’t play with you anymore!

In this way, Aisin Seiko can only watch Huayang Seiko with gritted teeth and expand step by step in this part of the technical support market.

But before the sales plan of the domestic headquarters was adjusted, they did not dare to adjust their sales strategies casually, so they could only stare with sour eyes.

Jin Xiaoqiang doesn't care about Aisin Seiko's attitude. He has a lot of things that need to be busy now!

Dozens of engines of various types. Equipped with different types of TVS superchargers, as well as new VGT engines. Some are even equipped with TVS and VGT dual superchargers, which can be rotated on the bench.

It’s here!

Liu Xiaoliang leads dozens of electronic engineers. Their daily task is to work in three shifts, recording data fed back by sensors on various engines without stopping.

These data will be entered into the database in the future, and they will establish their own special database. Then based on these data, they will make adjustments to TVS and VGT when working with the engine, and select the best working method.

Program the control program and cooperate with the ECU to electronically control the new engine in the future.

During this time, whenever there was nothing going on, Jin Xiaoqiang would basically come over to see how their data testing work was going.

If once the data testing is completed on their side, then Jin Xiaoqiang also has new ideas, and he will soon start research and development of a new powertrain.

A series of higher-end models may be born soon.

First of all, what Jin Xiaoqiang needs to consider now is to design the latest transmission.

The most popular new transmissions currently on the market are of course Huayang Power's 6-speed wet dual-clutch transmission and Volkswagen's 6-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.

The two transmissions are similar in principle, but they are indeed very different in terms of performance.

Last year, Volkswagen's dual-clutch began to be assembled on some models and launched on the market, but sales have not been large, except for a small range of sales in China and the United States.

But not long after, some bad news came out. It is said that their models equipped with dual-clutch transmissions often have death flashes or sudden crashes, etc. In the United States, they have received thousands of complaints.

of complaints.

Fortunately, Volkswagen's public relations capabilities are quite strong, and the problem of this dual-clutch transmission has not been noticed by many major news media.

Although many media give face to it, it does not prevent car owners who have used Volkswagen's dual-clutch transmission from complaining online. Now on the Internet, the frequent problems of Volkswagen's dual-clutch transmission have been widely discussed.

After Jin Xiaoqiang learned about this situation, of course he hid secretly and was happy. After all, if it weren't for the pressure from Huayang Power, Volkswagen would not have put such an immature product on the market so hastily.

Come to the market.

Their current behavior can only be said to have shot themselves in the foot!

Volkswagen has also urgently recalled some models and is constantly studying changes.

But Huayang Power's dual-clutch transmission is different. Their dual-clutch transmission is lighter in weight, has shorter shifting time, and never suffers from the death flash or sudden crash phenomenon like that of Volkswagen.

Now it has an extremely good reputation in the market, which is in sharp contrast to popular products.

Recently, Volkswagen finally couldn't sit still in person and has taken the initiative to contact Huayang Seiko, requesting cooperation.

Their request for cooperation was very simple. They asked Huayang Power to provide them with the kind of cooling oil that specifically works with dual-clutch transmissions.

Volkswagen engineers are certainly not fools. When they see that Huayang Power's products have no problems like theirs, of course they will buy a Qoros series product equipped with a dual-clutch on the market and go back and cut it open.

Research.

The design principles of the dual-clutch transmissions of both parties are similar, but Huayang Power's dual-clutch transmission is more outstanding in details, but their dual-clutch transmission can be used in stop-and-go congested urban streets.

Of course, the outstanding performance is not just because of their differences in details.

In the end, Volkswagen engineers quickly found the reason, which was that Huayang Power's dual-clutch transmission was equipped with a special engine oil.

This kind of engine oil works very well in high temperature environments, and its cooling performance is very good!

Therefore, Volkswagen will of course send people to the door and ask for cooperation in this kind of engine oil. Now this work has been handed over to Wang Jiao to follow up.

Jin Xiaoqiang, on the other hand, is focused on another research and development work, that is, the 8-speed automatic hydraulic transmission!

Unlike the current mainstream 6-speed automatic hydraulic transmission, the eight-speed hydraulic automatic transmission is not as simple as the six-speed automatic transmission, which only requires the installation of a few planetary gears on the main shaft.

It requires more rigorous design, and even many oil circuits need to be redesigned.

The reason why Jin Xiaoqiang designed such an 8-speed transmission was also because of the two latest supercharging artifacts he designed.

You must know that these two superchargers bring not only more horsepower to the engine, but also a stronger torque increase!

The increase in torque means that a car has better straight-line acceleration performance, which is listed as a key performance indicator of many good and luxury cars.

Engines using these two superchargers can easily provide more than 500 Nm of torque to the car. As a result, it is difficult for the current transmission products of Huayang Seiko to meet such torque.

Therefore, the work of developing an 8-speed automatic hydraulic transmission was put on Jin Xiaoqiang's agenda.

In the original world, the world's first 8-speed hydraulic automatic transmission was successfully developed by Toyota in 2006 and was equipped on their high-end top model Lexus LS460L.

At that time, this transmission shocked the whole world when it was released.

ZF, another expert in transmissions, also immediately began to work hard and develop an 8-speed transmission, and achieved a breakthrough in 2008. In 2009, it began to be assembled on BMW, Audi, Rolls-Royce and other models and began testing. In 2010, it was fully

It is launched into the market.

And now, Jin Xiaoqiang is planning to compete with them and strive to compete with Lexus next year! (!.
