Automotive Black Technology Chapter 218: : Very motivated
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of automotive black technology!
What can be seen from these two pieces of news? People outside the industry just watched the excitement and only knew that Zhengshin was going to launch a new car.
But those in the automotive industry saw a clue from Zhengxin's plan to develop a self-priming engine.
There are currently two types of gasoline-powered engines; one is naturally aspirated and the other is turbocharged.
In fact, a turbocharged engine is nothing more than installing a supercharger on a naturally aspirated engine to obtain a greater oil-to-air compression ratio to achieve greater power output.
These two engines are originally the relationship between father and son.
But with supercharging technology, engines with the same displacement can be squeezed out of higher performance.
So under the propaganda and guidance of manufacturers, supercharging and naturally aspirated have gradually formed two major schools, becoming opposing camps.
Both engines have their own markets, and almost every consumer has to face the problem of choosing self-priming or supercharging.
It stands to reason that the same engine, using turbocharging technology, can achieve 1.3-1.5 times the power of self-priming. And after the number of revolutions reaches 3,000 rpm, the power of the turbocharger is obviously stronger than that of the self-priming engine.
However, although turbocharging technology is relatively new and has certain advantages over naturally aspirated vehicles, this does not mean that self-aspirated vehicles have lost people's favor.
Self-priming engines have a long history, so the technology is relatively complete. Because of its structure, it is quieter and smoother than a turbocharged engine.
After all, the turbine engine has a supercharger as a peripheral, so it is not very good in these two aspects.
If it is a sports car like the A4 that pursues driving excitement, turbocharging is of course the best choice to give driving excitement.
But for cars that have risen to the executive level, this will not work. Comfort is an issue that must be taken seriously for a car of this level.
The quietness of the self-priming engine and smooth acceleration are undoubtedly essential factors for an executive car.
Think about it, the leader is sitting behind you. As soon as the car was refueled, it sped forward. Wouldn't coffee and cigarette ash be scattered all over the back seat?
This may be a bit extreme. The power output of a turbocharged engine can also be controlled by the ECU. But in terms of comfort, it is an undeniable fact that self-priming is better than turbocharging.
This is also the reason why various luxury car brands still highly recommend self-priming.
Now that Zhengxin has its own self-priming engine, it theoretically has the opportunity to advance to higher-level models.
To put it bluntly, it is a C-class car.
Going further, those luxury cars, large-displacement SUVs, and even performance sports cars are all inseparable from self-priming engines!
The reason why X-power can use a 2.0T turbine engine to release such abnormal performance is due to its body structure. This is impossible to achieve on other sports cars.
So if Zhengxin wants to continue to develop, the series extension of engines is a step that must be taken.
As soon as the news came out, some people immediately guessed that Zhengxin was going to be high-end.
It turned out that they were right.
When exchanging the drawings a few days ago, Li Fanyu took into account the installation issues of future models and directly exchanged the two self-priming engines matching the A6.
2.8L CNY, and 3.0L CHM.
The entire set of drawings cost 500,000 R&D points, and the two supporting engines cost nearly 550,000 points, which is equivalent to more than 50 million RMB...
But Li Fanyu thinks it’s worth it.
Why?
Only when you understand self-absorption can you explore further. According to his idea, A8, S4, RS4, S6, S8, and R8 are all needed.
These models rely on self-priming engines.
In the industrial field, it is not just that you know how to design and everything will be fine. Design is one thing, craftsmanship is another.
These two self-priming engines are, to put it bluntly, for practice and to lay the foundation for the manufacturing of high-end large-displacement self-priming engines in the future.
Li Fanyu, who is familiar with the development direction of automobiles, knows that turbine engines are definitely a trend, but self-priming engines will not withdraw from the historical trend in a short period of time.
So righteous faith cannot walk on one leg.
Despite Zhengxin’s current momentum, in fact, it still has no say in the current domestic automobile market. Only through comprehensive development can we compete with brands with decades or centuries of history.
The A4 is just an admission ticket, allowing Zhengxin to successfully enter the civilian vehicle consumer market. But to create characteristics and style, you have to go step by step.
Li Fanyu really doesn’t dare to touch the A-class and compact car market with Zhengxin’s current production capacity and scale. It's not that it's technically impossible. The design of those cars is simple and crude, so it's not difficult.
With the research and development foundation of A4, now even without relying on Xapp, the team led by the laboratory can develop it.
But the problem is that this is a market that competes for capital and scale. Zhengxin's current production capacity and sales network can only lead to a dead end if it rushes into this Japanese-dominated hunting ground.
So if you want to develop and make progress, you can only enter areas with large profit margins.
For Li Fanyu, the advent of the A6 is not only an opportunity, but also a watershed and an important point in his strategy.
Only when you can make an executive-level car can you continue with the next steps.
Looking at the various speculations and speculations on Weibo, Li Fanyu smiled calmly.
"Look at you, the fun is yet to come!"
......
As the New Year approaches, other companies are already emptying out, but Zhengxin has no intention of relaxing at all.
The winter days in Tiancheng are very short, and it basically gets dark after four o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, the Zhengxin Office Building is still brightly lit. Even in the corridor, you can hear the noise of making and receiving phone calls in various offices.
There is no way, the boss can give in, and the employees have to push hard.
Li Fanyu treated these subordinates well, and they naturally reciprocated his kindness. Knowing that the company's new car has been put on the agenda, many employees whose families live in other places gave up their annual leave and prepared to bring their families to Tiancheng for the New Year.
Over in the laboratory, the A4 platform technology has reached the final stage. Now Lao Zhang and the Sanxueba team are working on this, and it will be done in two days. Some team members who had not caught up with the extraction of the A4 platform already felt that they had lost an opportunity. Now when they heard that the company was going to develop a new model, they immediately called from all over the country and asked to join the team.
While there is still some time before the Chinese New Year, everyone’s consensus is to start the A6 project.
Faced with this kind of enthusiasm, what can Li Fanyu say?
Sayazi, do it! (To be continued.)
