Automotive Black Technology Chapter 1033: :Electric modular platform
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of automotive black technology!
The three top students seemed quite excited about Li Fanyu's decision. The three of them are now involved in many R&D projects, but the I8 has a special meaning to everyone.
I think that when I went to Germany to compete, Li Fanyu came up with the plan, and the I8 that everyone planned can be said to have given everyone hope to compete for the championship. However, due to the subsequent plagiarism scandal, this model, which was very likely to win the Grand Prix championship, unexpectedly failed and became a regret for everyone for a long time.
Now, Li Fanyu finally picked up this dusty bead, and the fire that had been held in everyone's hearts for a long time was rekindled.
"Brother Fan, don't worry. Aren't we just treating TSL's two current cars as competitive products? What a joke!"
"That's right. We believe that now that both electric and gasoline engines are available, it will not be difficult to put the I8 into reality. Doesn't TSL engage in both pure electric and technology? Now we have nothing missing."
Listening to Xu Fufang and Liu Qing shaking their fists, Li Fanyu said "hmm".
"Brothers, this is what I think. TSL's current two models are based on high-performance pure electric vehicles and intend to build a high-end brand among electric vehicles. Judging from previous market performance, this The direction is feasible. The performance of the first MD in the Chinese market has confirmed this. Even though the construction progress of basic electric piles is almost zero and charging is basically based on household electricity, it has still achieved good sales. It can prove the problem. In fact, without our interference, their Pallwy will definitely achieve good results in the Chinese market.”
"Well, although I feel angry when I see TSL now. But I have to deny that there is still a market for their positioning. So Brother Fan, what do you mean, is to bring I8 directly closer to TSL?" Liu Qing touched his chin ,Asked.
Li Fanyu nodded, "Now that TSL has proven that this path is feasible, and we want to compete directly with them, we naturally have to move closer to their current product positioning. Therefore, the I8 car cannot be tuned. The price is too high. As you know, my country currently has policies for new energy vehicles. As imported products, TSL’s model tariffs are almost negligible, so in terms of price, we are not as competitive as before with other brands of internal combustion engine models. Such tax advantages.”
"Brother Fan is right." Xu Fufang tapped his temple with his hand, "The current price of the basic version of Pallwy is 650,000 yuan, and the top model is 890,000 yuan. This price range, if compared with our corresponding to the product line, which is a high-performance coupe. ”
"That's why I called you here today, not Wang Rui. We are going to put the I8 car to the market test. The criteria for winning this competition are sales volume and market influence. In terms of positioning and configuration , we can't do it regardless of the cost like we did before." Li Fanyu nodded on the table and expressed his thoughts.
"That's easy to handle." Wang Yu, who had been silent, stood up and took a pen and paper from Li Fanyu's desk, "Brother Fan, the I8 model is not new. We are all familiar with the appearance part. Let's start the design now. First, roughly determine the general layout and power plan. I will then go back and calculate the preliminary cost with the spare parts department. We will then use this design and TSL's two competing products as standards. Wouldn’t it be nice to make some minor adjustments?”
I didn’t expect this guy to be so impatient when it comes to design,
Li Fan smiled foolishly and picked up the pen and paper.
In fact, the first cooperation with Baiwei Interactive Entertainment was before the electric bus. It's like Li Fanyu made the I8. But the battery motor technology at that time was not very mature, so it was not realized in the end.
In his original idea, he wanted to make the I8 a pure electric supercar.
But it turned out that he still took it for granted at that time. Without market research and no experience in FE Formula E, many ideas can be realized through design expertise. However, if you really want to create it and put it into the market, there will definitely be a lot of bias.
Sometimes, what people do is really destined and arranged by God.
Now Li Fanyu has experience in the design of Formula FE racing cars, experience in power modification of Tomahawk, and has a deeper understanding and familiarity with his own battery motor technology.
So when I picked up the pen again and put I8 on paper, my thoughts became much more mature.
However, no matter what time, Li Fanyu was not a person who liked to stick to the rules. Even though he was familiar with the I8 in the previous time and space, and had launched it twice in this time and space, and had preliminary research and development of the model, he still incorporated some of his own understanding.
More than half an hour later, a rough sketch came out.
Although in terms of appearance, it still retains the shadow of the BMW I8 before Li Fanyu, the internal layout, driving method, and power scheme have all undergone earth-shaking changes.
Especially the driving method, it directly made the three top students feel a surge of domineering energy coming towards them!
"Wait a minute!" Liu Qing reached out and took a picture of the sketch, "Brother Fan, other people's four-wheel drive is an engine plus two transmission groups. What the **** are you talking about with four motors! ”
On the previous sketch, all four wheels of the I8 were designed as separate drive assemblies by Li Fanyu.
The suspension, motor and power recovery system are assembled together to form a transmission structure that looks quite weird.
Li Fanyu smacked his lips, "The inner one, the middle one, the middle one, this is the motor drive method that I expected to have the best control. How about it? Does it look cool?"
Seeing the confused look on the three top students' faces, he held up a pencil as if he was talking, pointed at the sketch and said: "Look, look. The three parts of the suspension, power recovery system, and drive system are integrated into one. , can perfectly utilize the kinetic energy and form a small cycle on all four wheels, greatly reducing the loss of centralized circulation. Moreover, these four independent power drive assembly systems can also be controlled separately through the ECU, which is perfect. Simulate and adjust the front and rear drive ratio, and realize all the functions of traditional cars such as differential locks and differentials. In addition, it can also achieve perfect balance in terms of weights! ”
Liu Qing laughed dryly: "But you just said you can't ignore the cost..."
"Hey! You can't think like that!" Li Fanyu waved his hand, "Brothers, it's nothing more than dispersing a large assembly into small assemblies. And when we compete with TSL, we can't just rely on one model. Ah! Think about it, this kind of drive and power method is a highly liberalized chassis platform! ”
After he said this, the eyes of the three top students brightened.
