Technology overlord starts with new energy vehicles

Kyushu Automobile Factory, in the open space of the factory area, a group of people gathered together, pointing at the new car in the center.

This is a small vehicle with a small shape and a simple appearance, and the overall color is blue.

With rectangular headlights and fender turn signals, the 145/70R12 feet are just well coordinated and look good on this car.

The layout of the three-door four-seater hatchback looks very compact overall.

Although there is still a long way to go compared with real cars, the body structure and manufacturing process are all manufactured using regular automobile production processes.

Except without the engine and transmission, it's a real car!

Although this mini model, if you really compare it with Volkswagen POLO, Honda Fit and other small vehicles, it is still far behind.

But if the object of comparison is changed to ordinary two-wheeled electric vehicles, or the old Tou Le, three-wheeled electric vehicles, etc. that have just appeared, they are too strong.

That's right, this car is the second product of Kyushu Automobile produced after Wuling Hongguang mini.

It took more than 20 days, and Zhou Fengyan worked hard day and night to build the experimental prototype car.

After the prototype of the company's products was built, department managers, large and small, and even security guards all watched the new car curiously.

While circling around the car body and touching it with their hands from time to time, everyone looked at the car curiously and discussed with other people around them.

"To be honest, it's better than I imagined. At least it really looks like a car, and the quality looks good."

"It looks good on the outside. Although it is far from an ordinary car, it is still a car."

"Can it really be regarded as a car? There is no engine and gearbox, but only some batteries and motors."

"Forget it, how can it be counted? They are all running on the road. They are definitely cars that can carry people. I just don't know if the interior will be as reliable as the exterior."

"It's so small, I don't know what it feels like to drive it, I have to try it later!"

Strong onlookers, this is the second car manufactured by Kyushu Company in so many years, or it cannot be called a car.

Cars generally refer to vehicles that use gasoline as energy, and the energy of this vehicle comes from the lead-acid battery loaded under the body, which not only serves as a counterweight to stabilize the center of gravity of the body, but also provides a source of power. It is called an electric vehicle or a new energy vehicle. suitable.

At the same time, accompanied by Zhou Fengyan, Xu Yifan was also inspecting the company's second car.

"The position below the door should not be a circular arc, but instead a rectangular concave, the design sense can be stronger."

"Use as many rectangular lines as possible in front of the bumper, it should be flat here."

"..."

While testing, Xu Yifan pointed out some problems on the prototype model to Zhou Fengyan. Afraid that the other party would not understand, he took a notebook to write and draw on it, and recorded all the problems.

Strive to imitate Wuling Hongguang mini one-to-one, regardless of the appearance and interior, except for the three-electric system!

Although the experimental production was carried out according to the drawings given by Xu Yifan, it was impossible for him to draw out some details completely by memory.

Now based on this trial-produced product, you can recall more details when you see the real thing.

Xu Yifan is very familiar with this car. The new energy car that once dominated the car sales list is cheap and functional.

To a certain extent, it is also a car that has caused many people to change their concept of new energy vehicles, and it is one of the models that fired the first shot of the new energy revolution.

Not only is the price very close to the people, but the cost of using the car is also low. For most families, they don't have to worry about fuel consumption. They can really drive as they want, which greatly improves the quality of life.

In the city, it is small and flexible, and it is convenient to park. As long as there is a charging place, it is much more fragrant than many gasoline vehicles.

Under Zhou Fengyan's admiring gaze, Xu Yifan stayed for half a day before the trial production of the model. It can be said that he inspected and modified every inch inch by inch, and only then did he completely find out the problems of this mini model.

The problem has been found out, and Zhou Fengyan will be asked to make some modifications at that time, and then mass production can be carried out.

Fortunately, this is not a real car. If it is a real car, it will take at least one or two years from the project approval to the sale of the model.

A small factory like Kyushu Motors cannot afford to declare a new car model, road test, durability test, safety test, engine matching and debugging, chassis matching and debugging, and so on.

It was almost noon, Xu Yifan got out from under the car, moved his body, and then said to Zhou Fengyan beside him.

"Okay, that's probably the problem."

Zhou Fengyan immediately replied: "I will bring people to correct all these problems within three days."

"Okay, let's take a look at the time, and if there is no problem, contact the supporting manufacturer and order parts for the model."

It is naturally impossible for a small factory to have its own supporting production enterprises, and some parts that cannot be produced by itself need to be ordered from those large supporting enterprises.

At that time, it will also go through mold opening, trial production, and testing the durability of each component, etc. It is estimated that it will take one or two months.

This is also an important reason why a large vehicle manufacturing company can drive the economy of a region.

It is a big investment to open molds and customize various parts, Xu Yifan reckons that he can only rely on his father with all his strength.

Automobiles are really not something that any company can play. If there is no system and a lot of money behind it, the investment may be the result of wasted money.

And even if the product is produced, if it does not achieve the advantages that can impress consumers, if the product sales are not good, it will only end in bankruptcy.

After all, a car is a big item, and most families buy it for a long time, worrying about quality issues, whether there are many defects, whether it will be thrown on the road, etc.

This is also the reason why many joint venture automobile factories can occupy an important position in the hearts of Chinese people for a long time.

Many families who buy cars are cautious and cautious, preferring to choose products from some established big car companies based on previous experience.

Even if the price is higher than that made in China, and the interior is not as good as that made in China, stability and durability are the first priority when buying a car.

The inherent impression is hard to break, and most families dare not spend large sums of money to believe in domestic products.

However, on the road to the development of domestic vehicles, how can there be no stage of imitation, and no process of product upgrades step by step.

If, like mobile phones, the price is relatively cheap and can be used by more people, domestically produced cars will win word of mouth earlier in the future.

This is also an important reason why Wuling Hongguang mini has left a strong mark in the history of new energy vehicles.

It can even be said to have ignited the flame of the rise of new energy!

At a low price, let more people realize the benefits of new energy vehicles, and cultivate a group of consumers' confidence in new energy.

Let everyone take new energy vehicles as an option when they have a need to buy a car.

Let more new energy vehicles attract public attention, and higher-end new energy vehicles are also accepted.

Of course, Wuling mini is just a sign of the rise of new energy, and car companies such as BYD have stabilized this huge market with their technology.

And this is also the reason why Xu Yifan chose this car to manufacture, first to light the flame.

Starting with low-priced new energy vehicles, gradually let more people accept electric vehicles and cultivate the market.

Otherwise, hundreds of thousands of luxury cars will be put in at the beginning. Except for families who are rich enough to treat their cars as toys, ghosts will come to buy some electric cars made by a car company that they have never heard of.

Since you want to ignite the flame, the quality of the product must be excellent, otherwise it will not be the ignition of the flame, but pouring a large basin of cold water.
