reborn industrial empire

"Baga! How could this happen?"

Ozawa Yusan stood in the audience under the Huayang Power booth and shouted and cursed in a low voice.

Yuzo Ozawa is a technical engineer sent by Toyota's technical department to spy on intelligence, and he is also one of the directors of the technical department that cooperated with Aisin Seiko to develop the 8at automatic transmission.

This time, Toyota has invested a lot of energy in the research and development of the 8at automatic transmission. On the one hand, it feels the challenge from Huayang Power, and on the other hand, in the market of high-end luxury brands, their market share is also facing rapid growth.

shrinking situation, so they had to make the decision to develop 8at.

Originally, Toyota had always done well in the field of luxury brands, with its Lexus sales, although there was still a certain gap compared with top brands such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW.

But in the U.S. market, relying on their reputation for guaranteed quality and fuel economy, they are doing well, and they are gradually opening up sales in the Chinese market. After all, although Lexus is positioned as a luxury brand, in terms of pricing, it is still

It's cheaper than the truly top-of-the-line products from Mercedes-Benz and BMW.

Originally, Audi came to disrupt the situation, which already caused some headaches for Toyota. But who would have thought that Huayang Dynamics would come out in the past two years?

If they honestly made ordinary mid-range and low-end brand products, Toyota wouldn't have too much of a headache. However, the Qoros series they launched early last year was really a huge challenge to Toyota.

The appearance of the car is eye-catching enough, but with their ecoboost engine and 6-speed powershift dual-clutch powertrain combination, which is said to be powerful and more fuel-efficient, they have begun to

Gradually establishing a firm foothold in the North American market.

Huayang Dynamics has also made continuous moves to develop new products in their product series, which has seriously threatened Lexus's survival space in North America.

Although the current number of their Qoros models in the North American market is not enough to threaten Toyota's position, their crazy growth is enough to attract Toyota's attention.

Toyota has been looking for an opportunity to counter Huayang Power's challenge, but it's really hard to find shortcomings in this damn Huayang Power product.

After much deliberation, they settled on the car's transmission.

Before Huayang Power's dual-clutch transmission came out, Volkswagen had already brought out their dual-clutch transmission long ago, but the results it achieved were only intended to attract ridicule from others.

A series of problems such as death flashes, inexplicable stops, difficulty starting, etc. have been plaguing the public, which has also cast a gloomy tone on the prospects of dual-clutch transmissions.

Although Huayang Power's dual-clutch transmission has not encountered the problems that Volkswagen's dual-clutch transmission has experienced since it was launched, this is not enough to eliminate all consumers' concerns about this transmission in the market. Although it has

It has the advantages of more fuel economy, smoother gear shifting and faster response.

However, the shadow left by Volkswagen's dual-clutch transmission on consumers is still there, and in order to eliminate this impact, Huayang Power's dual-clutch transmission must have stable performance in the market for at least three to five years.

And this also gives Toyota an opportunity. They want to make a better transmission than the dual-clutch transmission during this period of time. In this way, even if Huayang Power's dual-clutch transmission is proven by market practice, it will not

There are too many problems, but when Toyota's new generation transmission is launched, their dual-clutch transmission will still face the fate of being one generation behind Toyota's transmission.

This was Toyota's good plan, so after detailed discussion and summary, they immediately launched their 8at project. Their transmission must be significantly different from Huayang Power's dual-clutch, so they chose

A more stable automatic transmission serves as a breakthrough.

Toyota's technical department specializes in producing matching units for their transmissions. Aisin Seiko has worked very hard on this 8at transmission. They set up a team of engineers in the United States, spent hundreds of millions in testing costs, and still have one year to go.

It’s time to finally get their 8at transmission

At the same time, Huayang Power announced that their 8at transmission has been completed and is ready for mass production. The most important thing is that they also took out a prototype and matched it on one of their super sports cars. This is a great pair for Toyota.

For Yumi Ozawa, who is in charge of this project, this is nothing less than a slap in the face!

Ozawa Yuzo originally thought that relying on his achievements in developing 8at, he would definitely have a good future with promotion and salary increase at Toyota. However, he never expected that before his project was completed, he was about to face the danger of losing his job.

?

If Huayang Dynamics takes the lead this time, then he, the project leader, will immediately turn from a hero to a sinner of the company!

So how can Ozawa Yusan not be in a hurry to get angry? Their 8at has been produced in North America and has been assembled on a prototype car to start testing. However, Huayang Dynamics’ 8at has actually been used as a supercar and is still racing in New York.

The record was set on the road, and this result was unacceptable to Ozawa no matter what.

"Maybe..."

Shinji Abe, the engineer from Aisin Seiko next to him, muttered something, but he didn't dare to say it too loudly.

"Maybe what? Baga!"

Ozawa was already extremely annoyed. If he hadn't been worried about the number of people around him, he would have wanted to rush up and slap the hesitant fat man.

"Did they steal information from us and then develop this 8at transmission based on our ideas?"

When Shinji Abe saw that Ozawa was a little annoyed, he immediately expressed his reasoning. He also knew that his reasoning was a bit reckless, but he did not believe that the Chinese people could develop the 8at transmission before them.

You must know that they are a country that could not even produce 4at transmissions a few years ago. Now, in just a few years, their technological development has improved so fast, which makes Shinji Abe find it a bit difficult to accept.

When Ozawa heard this, he felt a little ridiculous on the one hand. After all, their research and development process is very secretive, and their experimental location is in the United States, where security measures are also very strict.

On the other hand, I also feel that this is not impossible. You must know that just four years ago, China was a country that could not even produce a 4at automatic transmission. But now, in just 4 years, they can not only produce a 4at transmission.

, 6at transmission, and 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. Can even 8at automatic transmission be produced now?

How is this possible?

You must know that producing an 8at automatic transmission is not as simple as producing a 4at automatic transmission. The most critical thing here is the improvement of processing accuracy and processing technology.

This 8at automatic transmission, from the time it was born, was destined to be matched with luxury cars and large-displacement longitudinal engines, so this 8at transmission is also a longitudinal configuration.

But in this way, in order to be able to install the engine and transmission in a small cabin, it is necessary to make the size and weight of this transmission very small. Even the requirement for this transmission is that the size is the same as that of the previous ordinary 4at

The automatic transmission is not much different.

In this way, it is quite a test of the designer's design ability, as well as the mechanical department's finishing accuracy of such mechanical parts, as well as the finishing process.

In this country, China, let alone manufacturing transmissions like this, could not control the accuracy well even if they were making a car casing.

It is true that after the emergence of Huayang Power, their finishing capabilities have been greatly improved, but it has only been a few years? They can't improve their finishing capabilities so much, right?

And is that Jin Xiaoqiang really such an all-around design genius? From the car's appearance, to the car's engine, to the car's transmission, is he really all-around to the point of mastering everything?

You must know that today, when the division of labor is becoming more and more detailed, such design work usually requires a team of engineers to work hard for several months or even years to design it. But does Jin Xiaoqiang really only need one shot?

How can we design such an outstanding product with just a few days of sitting and meditation?

The more Ozawa thought about it, the more doubtful he became, and the more he thought about it, the more likely he felt that Jin Xiaoqiang had stolen the design results of Toyota and Aisin's 8at.

If they hadn't obtained technical secrets and manufacturing processes through some illegal means, how could they have designed and manufactured an 8at transmission so quickly?

The more Ozawa thought about it, the more he realized that his idea was right. Huayang Dynamics and Jin Xiaoqiang must have stolen Toyota's technical secrets to develop and manufacture the automatic transmission that successfully flew the 8at.

This comparison didn't matter, he immediately went into a state of obsession, completely ignoring the data comparison between Huayang Power's 8at and their 8at transmission.

Humph! Don’t think that after you steal our technical information and modify it, you can put it on stage and pretend that you developed it yourself, you thieves.

Wait a while, while you are explaining, I will definitely keep a close eye on you and then ask you difficult questions, hum!

If you can't answer any of them, hum! That's when you show your flaws, and I will go on stage to expose you!

What 8at, hum! Wasn’t it made by plagiarizing our creativity and design?

We have a lot of data recorded in our research and development for more than a year. When we take it out, it will immediately reveal our true colors to you!

Ozawa gritted his teeth and looked at Jin Xiaoqiang on the stage...
