BYD – Spress

Which car is more recommended by BYD Tang DMI or DM?Brother Meow takes you to experience the comparison of real cars

editor — Sat, 26 Jun 2021 15:35:06 +0000

When Brother Miao was broadcasting live, I often consulted with friends as to whether to buy BYD Tang whether to choose Tang DM or BYD DMI. At the end of last year, Brother Miao drove the Yadi Tang DM around Shenxianling. My impression of Tang DM’s entire car experience was quite good, especially the 4.3 power. Some time ago, I was fortunate enough to experience a BYD Don DMI. From the test drive of these two cars, Brother Miao will share with you my suggestions for choosing these two cars. First of all, the power angle. The design direction of Tang DM and Tang DMI are different. Tang DM cares more about power. The total torque is more than 800 Nm, which is very powerful. The whole design of BYD Tang DMI is biased towards home, Tang DM is an aunt, and the aunt is strong and passionate. Tang DMI is a more mature and stable middle-aged uncle, so when something happens, the uncle’s self-sustaining ability is stronger. So when we consider these two cars, we must choose according to the actual car you use. If the purpose of buying it is to pursue a 4.3-hundred-kilometer acceleration, then you can choose Tang DM without hesitation. But if you just want to buy an all-rounder family car, you are looking for a mature and stable appearance, low fuel consumption, and large space, then Brother Meow recommends Tang DMI. Secondly, the price of Tang DM is tens of thousands more expensive than Tang DMI, so from the perspective of diligence and thrift, Brother Miao prefers the relatively cheap and cost-effective Tang DMI. Although its brakes and acceleration performance are good, it is indeed not as strong as Tang DM in all aspects, but if we choose the car as a family car, in fact, the configuration of Tang DMI can fully meet the daily use. The third point is the subsequent cost of using the car. BYD Tang DMI’s hybrid technology is currently BYD’s super hybrid. Even if it drives more than 1,000 kilometers, the average fuel consumption per 100 kilometers in the state of power loss is more than 5 liters and less than 6 liters. If you choose a long battery life version of more than 100 kilometers, and it is very convenient to charge in your home, you can install charging piles directly at your home. The commuting distance of a second-tier city like ours in Changsha is only a dozen kilometers a day, and you may refuel twice a year. It’s more than enough. BYD Tang DMI can run 1,000 kilometers when it is full of fuel and electricity. Even if it is a short self-driving tour on weekends, because it is a hybrid model, it will not be as useful as a pure electric car. After all, it can be charged with oil when it is out of power, and it can also be externally discharged. Just like Tang DM, it can even be used for picnics in the wild through external discharge. This is completely achievable. As for the interior and space, including the 7-seat version, there is no essential change or difference between Tang DM and Tang DMI. In terms of tires, although Tang DMI’s overall tire size, brand selection and orientation are not as good as Tang DM, in actual use of the car, because Tang DM tires are relatively low and flat, it is very difficult for the tires to rub against the road teeth. It is easy to bulge and break easily. When changing tires, you will find that this car is painful to use. So from these perspectives, if you buy Tang for home use only, you don’t want to go out to run on the track, you don’t want to go out for drag racing, and you don’t have a high pursuit of 100 kilometers acceleration, then Brother Meow thinks that Tang DMI is on the contrary. It is more realistic, because the price is tens of thousands cheaper than Tang DM.

Does driving an electric car really “shed hair”? BYD uses actions to tell you the answer!

When most car companies were still toddling in the field of fuel vehicles, BYD focused on the new energy market; when the wave of new energy came, BYD focused on the safety of electric vehicles. In the new energy market, BYD always seems to be at the forefront of the industry in terms of breadth and depth. As the flagship model of BYD’s ten years of sharpening swords, Han, which was launched last year, has gathered years of experience accumulated by BYD in the field of new energy. In terms of design, intelligence, safety, and cruising range, BYD Han already has enough The strength is the benchmark model of the same level. This is also reflected in the sales data. Since its launch in July last year, BYD Han’s sales have continued to grow. After breaking through the 10,000 mark in November last year, it has continued to maintain a monthly sales of about 12,000. In the past March, Han EV achieved a good result of 10,323 vehicles. Up to now, BYD Han’s cumulative sales have exceeded 60,000, making it the only Chinese brand medium and large sedan that has sold more than 10,000 a month. For most electric vehicles currently on the market, cruising range and intelligence are still the focus of their emphasis. For BYD, which has a deep accumulation in the field of new energy, while having the mainstream endurance of the same level, it also focuses on the most fundamental and important safety issues of electric vehicles. Beginning last year, when almost all new energy vehicles used a large number of ternary lithium batteries, BYD went the other way, and launched a lithium iron phosphate blade battery with greater endurance and improved safety. , Let the lithium iron phosphate battery return to public view. At the recent BYD new car launch conference, BYD President Wang Chuanfu said: “Safety is the greatest luxury of pure electric vehicles”, which once again reflects BYD’s deep understanding of luxury electric vehicles. Where you can see, the blade battery shows BYD’s extremely powerful ability, and where you can’t see, BYD also has enough sincerity. In addition to explicit crash tests and battery pack safety performance tests, BYD in the new era also pays attention to hidden car health and safety issues, including volatile organic compounds VOC, car odor intensity VOI, and electromagnetic radiation EMR. Three indicators. As for what they do, I believe that many people have heard statements like “the pungent smell of a new car can cause cancer” and “the radiation of an electric car will lose leg hair”, and these tests exist to quantify these effects. This tells consumers the extent to which these factors affect human health. Regarding the VOC test of volatile organic compounds, according to public information, BYD started its research on volatile organic compounds in 2009 and established a complete laboratory in 2014. In addition to the conventional pentabenzene trialdehyde, it also monitors possible carcinogenicity. The detection classification has been refined to 19 items. While far exceeding the national standard, BYD also tried to simulate field tests under real usage scenarios. In addition to testing in a closed environment where various conditions such as temperature, wind direction, and irradiation angle can be controlled, the air in the car will be tested after exposure to the sun for more than 8 hours when Shenzhen is the hottest. It is understood that the cost of this one of the few domestic closed test cabins alone has reached 5 million yuan. Such a huge scale not only makes the car life lament that BYD is really too willing to pay for it. In addition to professional instrument testing, BYD has also set up a “Golden Nose” team to conduct odor detection at different positions and angles in the car. It is understood that this team only recruits people who are highly sensitive to odors. During the period of duty, the inspectors must stay away from tobacco and alcohol, and there must be no odors on their bodies. This is a group of people with special skills who continue to escort BYD’s car air health. In addition, I believe that in the early years, many people have heard the rumor that “driving an electric car will lose leg hair or hair”, which makes many people sneer at electric cars. In response to this problem, BYD invited a large number of BYD taxi drivers to confirm in early 2020, and the final conclusion is that the electromagnetic radiation of BYD electric vehicles has almost no effect on the human body. Regarding how small this “impact” is, BYD also “quantified” it through EMR electromagnetic radiation experiments. The results show that BYD Han’s electromagnetic radiation intensity during high-power operation is only about 2% of the national standard, which is equivalent to The household 40W incandescent lamp is at a level 3 meters away, and the instantaneous maximum value at full throttle is less than 8%, which is equivalent to a level within 50 cm of a 40W incandescent lamp. In the introduction by Dr. Chen Xiaohong of BYD EMC Technology Research Department and Automotive Engineering Research Institute, there is a sentence that impresses automobile life: “We are fully committed to the era of intelligence, but the things behind it must also be paid attention to.” Behind any technology. , There are countless experimental guarantees, and behind BYD Han’s successful entry into the domestic C-class luxury pure electric vehicle market, it is precisely such a countless perfect pursuit of details and quality. The so-called luxury, but so. Note: The above pictures are from the official brand

Refueling pure electric SUV test drive BYD Tang DM-i

editor — Thu, 24 Jun 2021 00:15:11 +0000

[爱卡汽车新能源频道原创] Since its official release at the beginning of this year, BYD’s DM-i hybrid technology has quickly gained the attention of a large number of consumers. The sales of Qin PLUS DM-i and Song PLUS DM-i, which were listed in the early stage, are very hot, and even the supply is in short supply. The finale Tang DM-i will be officially launched at the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show on April 19, and we have already tested this flagship model with ultra-low fuel consumption. Compared with the previous 2021 Tang DM, the new Tang DM-i has basically no changes in appearance and interior trim. Since most of my friends are already very familiar with the design of Tang DM-i, this time we get straight to the subject, let’s talk about the performance of DM-i hybrid technology on this big guy. BYD Tang DM (inquiry module, please do not edit manually, if you need to delete, please right-click on the picture to delete the inquiry) I believe everyone is already familiar with BYD Tang. The average transaction price of Tang series models is more than 200,000 yuan, and the cumulative sales have exceeded 200,000 units. This is an achievement that other Chinese brand models cannot match. The Tang DM-i, the latest occupant of the Tang family, has almost the same exterior and interior design as the 2021 Tang DM. The biggest difference between them lies in the DM-i hybrid system carried by the former. BYD has launched a number of plug-in hybrid models. Before the advent of DM-i technology, BYD’s hybrid models were known for their acceleration, and the zero-hundred results in less than 5 seconds were enough to make most performance cars ashamed, but their fuel-saving effects could only be said to be mediocre. The DM-i is a hybrid technology that is known for its fuel-saving rate. Its engine is not strong, and its power output mainly comes from the electric motor. What kind of performance will the DM-i technology have on the big guy like BYD Tang? DM-i technology is a plug-in hybrid technology. The entire system consists of a high-efficiency engine, an EHS electric hybrid system integrating two motors and reducers, and a set of hybrid blade batteries. An efficient engine is the basis for low fuel consumption in hybrid vehicles. Tang DM-i’s engine is a turbocharged 1.5Ti high-efficiency engine for Xiaoyun-plug-in hybrids, with a maximum power of 102kW (139 horsepower) and a maximum torque of 231Nm. Its compression ratio has reached 12.5, VTG variable area turbocharger is applied, and the design of canceling gear train is adopted, and its peak thermal efficiency has reached 40%. In the field of turbocharged engines, such high thermal efficiency is relatively rare. There are at least ten configurations of hybrid systems, each with different characteristics, and how to “mix” is very important. The EHS electric hybrid system in DM-i technology is equivalent to an E-CVT composed of two motors, which completely replaces the traditional mechanical gearbox, and is similar to the Japanese hybrid, especially the Honda i-MMD system. It can realize series connection, parallel connection and direct engine drive. DM-i is mainly electric, and it is pure electric or series mode in most working conditions According to the different driving motors, the EHS electric hybrid system can be divided into three types, namely EHS132, EHS145 and EHS160. Tang DM-i uses the powerful EHS145 and EHS160, and the comprehensive maximum power of the system is 173kW (235 horsepower) and 254kW (345 horsepower) respectively. It is worth mentioning that the motor speed in the EHS electric hybrid system can reach 16000 rpm, using flat wire windings and oil-cooled heat dissipation, and has the advantages of small size and high efficiency. In terms of battery, Tang DM-i uses the blade battery that BYD is proud of. Its shape is a long and narrow thin sheet, hence the name “Blade”. The biggest feature of the blade battery is safety, even if it is pierced by a steel needle, it will not catch fire. It is essentially a lithium iron phosphate battery that directly composes a battery pack through a large blade-shaped battery cell to achieve an increase in energy density. The battery pack capacity of Tang DM-i is 9.98kWh/21.5kWh, and the pure electric cruising range is 52km/112km. Our test drive this time is the flagship model Tang DM-i 112km honorable, and its pre-sale price is 224,800 yuan. After the vehicle was started, we quickly discovered the difference between the Tang DM-i and BYD’s previous plug-in hybrid models: Although the power of the former is not as strong, it is smoother and quieter, and it drives almost like a pure electric model. As far as driving performance is concerned, we can completely regard Tang DM-i as a pure electric SUV that can refuel. The reason why the hybrid power system has a higher threshold is mainly because there are multiple power sources in the system, and the different combinations between them produce complex power output modes. It is the manufacturers facing the same driving experience under different modes. Great challenge. The biggest improvement of Tang DM-i is that it maintains a similar driving experience in different hybrid modes, different driving modes, and with or without electricity. This is different from its electric hybrid concept. Not open. In most working conditions, Tang DM-i’s hybrid system is in pure electric or series mode. The power comes from the electric motor. The engine is either stopped or used to generate electricity, and does not participate in driving the vehicle. Under the power-deficient high-speed working condition, the parallel mode will account for a larger proportion. At this time, the engine and the drive motor drive the wheels together. In pure electric mode, Tang DM-i can reach a maximum speed of 140km/h. When the battery is low or the accelerator pedal is quickly depressed, the engine starts to give power to the wheels, but the process of intervention is difficult to detect. We manually switched the EV/HEV mode and tried several times, only the roar of the engine speed after the throttle is pulled up will remind us of its existence. The energy recovery intensity of Tang DM-i can be adjusted on the central control screen. Under the standard intensity, the energy recovery intensity is relatively slight, and will not bring obvious deceleration. The recovered power displayed on the instrument panel is about 11kW; at higher intensity, the energy recovery intensity is increased, but it will not affect it. In terms of comfort, the recovered power displayed on the dashboard is about 25kW. When energy recovery is combined with braking, the recovered power can reach 75kW. Thanks to the electric-based hybrid system, the NVH of the Tang DM-i performs well, and the interior is very quiet. However, after the speed exceeds 70km/h, the wind noise in the A-pillar area is more obvious and needs to be optimized. In terms of chassis, the Tang DM-i adopts a front Macpherson rear multi-link suspension, and the battery pack between the front and rear axles reduces the center of gravity of the vehicle. The suspension adjustment is moderately soft and hard, and it can also give the driver a strong confidence in the winding mountain road. At the same time, it can also play a good filtering effect in the face of the bumps of the road. How to choose between Tang DM-i and Tang DM? The advantage of the former is fuel consumption. It is suitable for most home users. It not only has low car cost, but also has long battery life, which will show advantages in long-distance self-driving tours. The latter has outstanding acceleration performance and is equipped with a four-wheel drive system. Users who have higher requirements for power. Dynamic performance: outstanding ride comfort As mentioned earlier, the exterior and interior design of the Tang DM-i is no different from the 2021 Tang DM, and this design has been verified by the market. BYD’s iconic Dragon Face design language is already very familiar to everyone, and it is particularly magnificent when applied to the Tang DM-i model with full sense of volume. The body size of Tang DM-i is also the same as Tang DM, the length, width and height are 4870mm/1950mm/1725mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2820mm. The tail shape is round and full, and the penetrating taillights widen the visual width. The new car has applied blackened design elements in many places, such as B-pillar, C-pillar, D-pillar, as well as the C-shaped decorative strips on the wheel eyebrows and front and rear bumpers, which make the whole car look a little more wild and dynamic. The 2021 Tang series models including Tang DM-i have been significantly optimized in terms of interior decoration. The interior of the old model is minimalist and looks very plain, while the 2021 model uses more high-end materials, with richer layers, and enhances the sense of luxury. The instrument panel alone has soft slush plastic materials, piano paint panels, metal brushed texture panels and Ultrasuede microfiber suede fabrics similar to Alcantara. In addition, this Ultrasuede microfiber suede fabric is also used in a large area on the door panel, which greatly improves the sense of quality. Intelligentization is an important development direction of the current automotive industry. BYD has also continuously updated its DiLink intelligent network connection system and launched version 3.0. The most significant upgrade is in terms of hardware. The size of the central control screen has been increased from 14.3 inches to 15.6 inches, and the screen frame has been greatly narrowed, which is full of technological sense. In terms of software, mainstream functions are equipped, although the interaction logic is a bit messy, but the experience of using it is not bad. The biggest feature of this large screen is that it can be rotated. At present, many apps in the car-machine system are from mobile phones, and developers rarely make special adaptations for cars and machines, so most of the apps are vertical screen applications, and the experience on horizontal screens is general. BYD’s rotating large screen is more friendly to vertical screen applications. For example, Douyin has a better experience on BYD DiLink. In order to take care of the co-pilot passengers, this large screen also has a split-screen display function. The driver can watch the navigation and the co-pilot can watch the entertainment function. Everyone can choose what they need. As a medium and large SUV, space is a big selling point of Tang DM-i. The car uses a 7-seater layout, the second row of seats can slide back and forth in a larger range, and the angle of the seat back can also be adjusted in two gears. When the second-row seats are adjusted to the frontmost position, the third-row seats also have ample legroom. However, since the cushion is very low, the sitting posture is not ideal, and it is only suitable for children. Most of the time, the third-row seats are folded up, giving the luggage compartment a flat floor and plenty of space. In addition, the second row of seats can also be down at a ratio of 4/6 to further increase the loading capacity of the car. Edit comment: With the release of version 2.0 of the “Energy-saving and New Energy Vehicle Roadmap”, hybrid vehicles have become the focus of research and development for many manufacturers, and a large number of plug-in hybrid models will be launched this year. But in terms of popularity, BYD’s DM-i technology is still at the forefront. The reason is that everyone is reducing fuel consumption, but only BYD has achieved the level of fuel consumption of DM-i technology that can compete with Japanese hybrid systems. Tang DM-i not only solves the fuel consumption problem, its smooth driving experience and heel-to-foot dynamic response are also impressive. I believe it will also be a hot-selling model. Appearance and interior: basically unchanged

In the original Wang Chuanfu, BYD is Xiaomi’s eldest brother

editor — Fri, 18 Jun 2021 13:24:14 +0000

Wang Chuanfu and Lei Jun have been very hot recently.

A piece of advice from the big brother in the field of car manufacturing was misinterpreted by the media, forcing Wang Chuanfu to come out and explain it again to everyone, which shows that he has a sincere love for Xiaomi.

“If the company’s strategic direction is wrong, losing 5 billion is not too much, but the lost three years is very important.” This sentence is the advice of Wang Chuanfu to Xiaomi as a past person, and it is basically a friendly comment reminder. It’s not a mockery of Xiaomi’s mistakes in making cars with strategic problems.

Xiaomi and BYD seem to be companies that have no intersection at all, but in fact they have a long-term and in-depth relationship. The two parties have had strategic cooperation for many years. Facing this new company entering the automotive industry, Wang Chuanfu sincerely advises Xiaomi. And extremely valuable.

Entering the auto industry, Xiaomi must find a better strategic partner.

For a long time, Xiaomi and BYD have maintained a very good state of strategic cooperation. BYD, which has been deeply involved in the field of mobile phone batteries, has always been OEM production for Xiaomi. Wang Chuanfu said in the relationship between the two parties: BYD has always been a foundry factory for Xiaomi mobile phones. .

It can be seen that the depth of this relationship far exceeds the cognition of some people.

On the original basis, if Xiaomi wants to build a car, it must find a reasonable and highly influential partner. When it comes to choosing a partner, it seems that Xiaomi is not in a hurry, because for this company, mobile phones Years of development in the field have given it a loyal and strong partner.

BYD is not only a giant in the field of mobile phone batteries, but also a leader in the automotive field.

And its focus is not the traditional internal combustion engine market, but the new energy field that Xiaomi is about to enter, which for Xiaomi is more like rain from the sky.

BYD and Xiaomi have a deep cooperation relationship. When BYD is transforming from an OEM to a supplier, the so-called competitive relationship no longer exists. For Xiaomi, BYD will become the best pioneer in the automotive field. .

Wang Chuanfu is right, Xiaomi can’t afford to waste time.

Building a car is still a very test of corporate determination. The new energy market has undergone tremendous changes in the past three years. With reference to the success and changes of Weilai Auto, Xiaomi Auto will not allow mistakes in a more competitive market in the future.

However, the Xiaomi car is still a blank sheet of paper, no factory, no front-line scientific research personnel, and the vehicle design, research and development, testing and debugging and matching work have not been carried out. It will take at least two years to master these all alone.

So, the best way for Xiaomi is OEM.

BYD does not reject OEMs. The mobile phone field has always been the strongest OEM. Many brands, including Huawei, are OEMs by BYD. For Wang Chuanfu, Xiaomi is not an additional competitor after the car is built. , But a stronger partner and a better ecological environment system in the field of new energy.

Although Xiaomi does not have outstanding accomplishments in the automotive field, it has an excellent ecological environment, big data, better APP and underlying architecture system, which can provide a better smart car experience for BYD.

BYD can provide a better basic method of foundry, and Xiaomi can better connect things with its new gameplay, ecological environment, MIUI architecture system, and furniture equipment, which can provide a very good ecological environment for car manufacturing.

For BYD, the entry of Xiaomi can serve the purpose of promoting the development of the industry. For Xiaomi, it needs to find a company that carries the dream of PPT, is willing to OEM for Xiaomi, and has been OEM for Xiaomi mobile phones. Is the best partner.

BYD Chairman Wang Chuanfu urgently clarified: Advising Lei Jun not to build a car is a misunderstanding, and is negotiating with Xiaomi to build a car

Last Thursday, BYD became popular because of his boss Wang Chuanfu’s speech.

BYD Chairman Wang Chuanfu “proclaimed” Lei Jun said, “5 billion is nothing to Lei, and 100 billion is not a problem. The key is to waste three years of your time. How much is the value of these three years?” The media interpreted Wang Chuanfu as persuading Lei Jun not to build a car so as not to waste time.

On the evening of the 13th, Wang Chuanfu urgently refuted the rumors and revealed a big advantage. He was negotiating with Xiaomi for a car project!

Wang Chuanfu refutes rumors: Lei Jun did not persuade him not to build a car

Is negotiating with Xiaomi to make car cooperation

A few days ago, BYD Chairman Wang Chuanfu stated at the 2021 China Automotive Chongqing Forum that it is a misunderstanding to persuade Lei Jun not to build a car, and he is negotiating with Xiaomi to discuss cooperation in the automotive field.

Wang Chuanfu pointed out that the issue was misunderstood by the media, saying that BYD persuaded Xiaomi’s Lei to not build cars. In fact, Xiaomi and BYD have a very good cooperative relationship, because BYD has produced a large number of Xiaomi mobile phones for Xiaomi, BYD and There is a very strategic partnership between Xiaomi.

In the future automotive business, BYD will also support Xiaomi’s development in the automotive field. Not only does it support, BYD is also willing to cooperate with Xiaomi in the automotive field, and is negotiating some projects.

Wang Chuanfu also explained the example at that time again. In the field of automobile iteration, the strategic direction is very important. If the strategic direction is good, you should avoid detours. If the strategic direction is not good, you will lose 3 or 4 years. Time, then there may be no chance in the fierce competition.

Therefore, precise strategic direction is an important feature of success.

When talking about the battery problem, he said that the blade battery is a critical period for BYD, and reform requires key technologies to solve the pain points of the market. BYD proposed blade batteries in March last year, which changed the direction of batteries in China and the installed capacity increased rapidly. In the past May, the monthly output of lithium iron phosphate batteries in my country exceeded that of ternary lithium batteries for the first time in the past three years. In May, the total output was 63.6%. BYD relied on blade batteries to reverse the structure and bring back the industry’s oscillations.

What did Wang Chuanfu say last week?

On the afternoon of June 10th, #Wang Chuanfu claimed that Huawei’s mobile phone was made by BYD.# rushed to the hot search on Weibo.

On the evening of June 9, at the 2021 Yabuli China Entrepreneurs Forum, BYD Chairman Wang Chuanfu shared.

Wang Chuanfu said that new energy vehicles are the outlet. Everyone thinks that the market is very large and the growth rate is very fast. Everyone rushed in. However, new energy vehicles are a new thing, and there are many routes. If the route is crooked, it may lose money and time.

Wang Chuanfu emphasized the importance of precise strategy for enterprises, saying that 5 billion is not money for many big coffees who come in, but the time cost is very important. “For example, Mr. Lei (Lei Jun), 100 billion (making a car), the key is to waste your three years, how much is the value of these three years? You can’t buy it with money.”,

Wang Chuanfu denied whether the above remarks implied that Xiaomi chairman Lei Jun would spend a lot of time building cars. “If the company’s strategic direction is wrong, it may not be too much to lose 5 billion, but you have lost three years, this is very important.”

Wang Chuanfu emphasized the importance of making the new energy vehicle market bigger: “Whether it is a new force that builds a car, whether it is a platform or a mobile phone, it will build electric vehicles after entering (making cars). China’s electric vehicle market penetration The rate is only 12%. In fact, we need them to come in, and use 90% of the cakes of fuel vehicles to use mobile phone traffic and mobile phone fans. Some platform companies use its traffic and ecology to come in and persuade everyone not to buy it. Fuel cars, all come to buy electric cars. Doesn’t this cake get bigger? When it gets bigger, it depends on whose technology you have to cut (good).”

Wang Chuanfu believes that it is a good thing for so many players to enter the new energy vehicle industry. Fuel vehicles will be slowly replaced, but the market competition will become extremely fierce.

The last time Xiaomi talked about car manufacturing was in the first quarter financial report exchange at the end of May. President Wang Xiang said that it may take three years to build a good car. He does not think the chip shortage will continue for three years, and now he does not consider this issue. Car building is still in the early stages.

In addition, Wang Chuanfu said, “We OEM many mobile phones, and most of Huawei’s mobile phones are made by us.”

“Whose are you using? Huawei’s, we made it. We made 90% of Huawei’s metal frames, and we made the entire processing and assembly of OEMs,” said Wang Chuanfu.

Tencent test drive BYD Tang DM-i more balanced technology flow

editor — Thu, 10 Jun 2021 12:24:05 +0000

As one of the outstanding Chinese auto brands, BYD’s continuous deep cultivation in the field of new energy in recent years has gradually shown its effect. A series of DM-i models have also been launched recently, and Tang is the flagship of BYD’s current SUV matrix. The product will naturally not fall. On the eve of the Tang DM-i’s launch, we also conducted a test drive experience on it to experience what the DM-i version of Tang can make. BYD Tang DM-i continues the family-style Dragon Face design language. Compared with the other versions of Tang, there is not much change, but there are more logos in the details, which we are more familiar with. The long and narrow headlights have not changed. The matrix LED light source makes it look dazzling. The decorative strips on the upper edge of the headlights continue to stretch out from the middle net, which also makes the entire front face more integrated. The side of the body is still very dynamic, and the waistline of the “Youlong Jumping” is very elegant. In terms of body size, the parameters of the Tang DM-i are 4870/1950/1725mm, and the wheelbase is 2820mm, which is considered a standard medium and large SUV. Wheels up to 20 inches in size are quite uplifting. The double five-frame shape looks full of tension and adopts the popular two-color design. The standard tires are from the Giti brand and the specifications are 245/45 R20. The through-type taillights at the rear of the car are highly recognizable. The license plate frame is placed on the rear bumper, which makes the whole rear more concise without losing the sense of hierarchy. The tail DM-i also emphasizes its identity. . The interior basically follows the style of the previous DM version. As a whole, the luxurious and high-end atmosphere in the car is quite successful. While maintaining the BYD brand family gene, the details can withstand scrutiny. The double-spoke steering wheel size is quite satisfactory. The two-color leather wrap further enhances its luxury. The integrated control functions above are also quite good. At the same time, it also has a good grip, which is quite solid. The UI design of the full LCD instrument with two main modes looks simple and refreshing, rich in information, strong in functionality, and the display effect is quite good, and the background color can be changed according to the switching of the driving mode. The 15.6-inch rotatable central display is equipped with DiLink 3.0 intelligent network connection system, with 70+ smart voice controls, supporting fuzzy semantics, child voice recognition and multi-person interaction. The configuration level of Tang DM-i still maintains the usual richness of BYD. The DIRAC audio from Northern Europe has 12 high-fidelity speakers. The sound performance is worthy of recognition. The speaker cover on the door panel also has a shape similar to strings. The NFC car key function of the mobile phone is a very practical black technology. Through the bound mobile phone, you only need to be close to the exterior mirror of the vehicle to unlock and start without the key. It can also be used without network conditions. In addition, car owners can also use the clairvoyance mode to connect the camera inside and outside the vehicle through the mobile phone to view the real-time images of the inside and outside of the vehicle. In addition to being safer and more convenient, it is also a bit interesting. In addition to the panoramic parking assistance that can realize 3D display, Tang DM-i also has a set of holographic transparent imaging system that can calculate the road surface under the vehicle and display obstacles without blind spots, thereby further ensuring safety. The panoramic sunroof is of course an indispensable configuration for an SUV model. The panoramic sunroof of the Tang DM-i is quite large, with a lighting area of 0.84 square meters, and the front section can be opened to make the car look more transparent. In terms of space, Tang DM-i and other previous versions have not changed in any way. They were also introduced in the previous real shots. We will not describe more here. The practicality of the seven-seater model is still adequately guaranteed. Below we are going to introduce some Tang DM-i’s power system, which is a plug-in hybrid system composed of a 1.5T engine, an electric motor, and a lithium iron phosphate blade battery dedicated to DM-i. This engine is dedicated for Snap Cloud plug-in hybrids. Using Miller cycle, the maximum power is 102kW (139Ps), the peak torque is 231N.m, the maximum power of the front axle motor is 145kW, the maximum torque is 316N.m, and the maximum speed can reach 16000rpm. Lithium iron phosphate blade batteries are better than ordinary ternary lithium-ion batteries in terms of safety and charge and discharge times. Depending on the endurance version, the battery capacity is 8.3 and 21.5kWh respectively, and the corresponding pure electric cruising range is 52 and respectively. 112 kilometers. Moreover, this power battery uses a large battery cell and no module design. The honeycomb-like aluminum plate structure has higher strength and safety, and the structure is more compact, which brings higher energy density. In fact, in this plug-in hybrid system, the engine is no longer the dominant one. It only needs to be responsible for improving the thermal efficiency in the high-efficiency operating conditions, while in the low-efficiency operating conditions of the engine, the electric power will be insufficient. Tang DM-i is divided into four output modes: engine direct drive, HEV parallel, HEV series, and EV pure electric. It has economic, conventional and sports combinations to adapt to the performance of the vehicle in different working conditions and power requirements. Tang DM-i’s dynamic response is still quite direct and smooth, and the start is light. Although the acceleration is not as simple and rough as the DM version, it has a very positive response to the driver’s accelerator pedal regardless of whether it is starting or accelerating midway. Of course, the power performance is also closely related to the amount of power. If the battery power is less than 20%, the engine must also charge the battery pack while providing power, and the acceleration capacity will indeed be compromised. The acceleration time of the two pure electric range models of 52 km and 112 km from 0-100 km is 8.7 and 8.5 seconds respectively. The fuel consumption in the power-deficient state is 5.3 and 5.5 liters respectively, and the comprehensive range is 1010 and 1050 km respectively. The electronic power steering can be adjusted in two levels. The comfort mode is actually more suitable, and the sports mode will look a little heavy. The adjustment of the chassis is very textured and comfortable, but it is not blindly soft. Perhaps to a certain extent, we can regard the Tang DM-i as the performance weakened and economically improved version of the previous DM version. Compared with the Tang DM that broke a hundred in 4.3 seconds, its engine was changed from 2.0T to 1.5T. , No longer provide four-wheel drive system and variable damping suspension, the power is weakened a lot, but both fuel economy and cruising range have been improved, and the price will be much cheaper. It can be said that the product is more powerful Balanced. At the same time, the blade battery can also support fast charging, which can be charged from 30% to 80% in half an hour. Isn’t it delicious? Moreover, the convenience of oil and electricity can make it meet the city commute like an electric car, and will not be unable to travel far because of mileage anxiety, thereby meeting the needs of more scenarios. It can also be used for new energy licenses in most cities. It can be said that it combines the many advantages of fuel vehicles and electric vehicles in one. BYD Tang DM-i will be officially listed at the Shanghai Auto Show soon, and we will wait and see the official price.

With annual revenue of nearly 700 billion, the low-key domestic auto “giant” has a profit 10 times that of BYD!

At present, the development of the domestic automobile market is very good. Many domestic automobile manufacturers have the hard power to compete with joint venture automobile manufacturers, and some domestic models have even become benchmark models. Such results are quite satisfactory. In fact, looking at it now, the automobile industry is already a sunrise industry, and the future development trend is new energy vehicles. The strength of car-making can reflect the overall level of a country’s manufacturing industry. Geely, Great Wall, Changan and other domestic automakers have shown a very comprehensive comprehensive strength. Of course, there is still a certain gap with some overseas automakers, but this gap is narrowing.

Toyota and Honda from Japan, Volkswagen, BMW and other automakers from Germany are currently world-class automakers. Of course, the wealth-making ability of these car companies is quite good. It is now the second quarter of 2021. Naturally, the relevant performance report for 2020 has been successfully released. It can be seen that the future development trend is still new energy vehicles. The data is real, and in the 2021 global rich list, Musk’s worth has successfully reached the top of the world’s richest man, and also the richest man with the largest increase in global wealth last year. Of course, the biggest contribution is Tesla Motors. Of course, the comprehensive strength of some domestic new energy automobile manufacturers is also very good, such as Weilai Automobile and Xiaopeng Automobile. Moreover, in the global market value rankings of auto companies, China’s auto companies can be said to have won a big victory, occupying 9 seats in the top 20. In addition to the two automakers mentioned above, BYD, Great Auto, Geely, SAIC Group, GAC Group and Ideal Automobile are all on the list. There are new energy car manufacturers and some traditional car manufacturers. Of course, because the future development trend of the automobile market is new energy vehicles, the market value of Weilai, Xiaopeng, Ideal Auto, etc. are also rising all the way, of course, it is inseparable from capital support. Especially NIO, whose market value has reached more than 80 billion U.S. dollars, this result is quite outstanding. However, the current domestic new energy vehicle industry giant is BYD Auto. The current market value is as high as 484.7 billion yuan, ranking first in the industry. Of course, BYD has also received investment from Buffett, which shows that BYD Auto is very successful. In 2020, BYD Auto’s revenue reached 156.6 billion yuan, and its net profit increased by 4.23 billion yuan. This result is already excellent enough. After all, it experienced a relatively difficult period of time last year. However, the most profitable domestic car company is not BYD Auto. It is China FAW Group. In 2020, its revenue will reach 700 billion yuan, and its net profit will be as high as 46.7 billion yuan, which is equivalent to 10 times that of BYD Auto. In other words, FAW Group can earn 127 million yuan every day. Among them, the revenue of FAW Jiefang heavy trucks is relatively high, reaching 113.7 billion yuan, and the profit is as high as 3.5 billion yuan. It can be said that the performance is very important. Moreover, the sales volume of FAW Jiefang heavy trucks has ranked first in the country for five consecutive years. Of course, FAW Group’s profits are due to joint ventures, and FAW Audi has contributed the most. Of course, domestic companies still need to improve their competitiveness. At present, many domestic companies have shown strong competitiveness, and it is hoped that these car companies can create better results.

Original helps you solve the invisible “killer”, how did BYD do it?

In recent years, vehicle safety has become a key concern of consumers, especially new energy products. Due to the frequent occurrence of accidents such as spontaneous combustion and broken axles of electric vehicles, consumers are more suspicious of the safety of new energy products.

Just a few days ago, BYD Chairman Wang Chuanfu said at the new car launch conference: “Safety is the greatest luxury of electric vehicles.” He also announced that BYD’s all-electric models have begun to switch the blade batteries and start acupuncture testing. As a corporate standard. From this point, we can see that BYD’s determination to build safety products and its confidence in blade batteries.

In addition to the active and passive safety of the vehicle itself, the health and safety indicators of the vehicle are also important, because there may also be colorless, odorless and invisible “killers” in the vehicle. The indicators of volatile organic compounds (VOC), odor intensity (VOI), and electromagnetic radiation (EMR) of vehicles should also arouse our attention.

In fact, BYD paid attention to these early and has already taken action. It is worth mentioning that BYD’s flagship sedan Han won the five-star evaluation of the “China Automobile Health Index” and the honor of the recommended model in 2020. BYDhan’s three indicators of VOC, VOI, and EMR have reached the industry’s excellent level. It is very difficult to control each indicator. How does BYD do it?

Everyone knows that carcinogens such as formaldehyde and benzene are called “invisible killers.” Due to the use of PVC materials and asphalt, these volatile organic compounds will exist in the car. The concentration of these substances exceeds the standard and poses a threat to people’s health.

BYD has been doing research on volatile organic compounds (VOC) since 2009 and established a fully equipped VOC vehicle test room in 2012. Han adopted a new “baby-grade” coating and cleaning process, replacing all PVC materials with PU materials, and using water-based LASD spray-type damping materials to replace traditional asphalt damping materials for body sound insulation materials to reduce air pollution in the car.

At the same time, in the vehicle VOC laboratory and auto parts VOC laboratory, BYD increases the ambient temperature, increases the volatilization rate of organic substances, and detects the concentration of harmful substances to ensure that various parts and vehicles can meet the standards.

Of course, most products on the market can guarantee that volatile organic compounds are within the standard, but the smell in the car is unacceptable. Although smelling does not mean it is harmful, too much smell makes people in the car feel uncomfortable. Therefore, BYD has set up a special odor identification team to strictly control the comfort of the odor in the car through sniffing. There is no doubt that Han has set the interior odour index in the early stage of development.

In fact, BYD’s odor identification team has gone through a complicated training process, and the employment standards are very strict. Team members must have good living habits, do not smoke, do not drink, have a good work and rest, etc., and are sensitive to smells. Through six months to one year of training on odor sensitivity and memory, team members have exercised a “golden nose” and rated the tested components.

In addition to VOC and VOI, BYD is also very concerned about electromagnetic radiation (EMR) from vehicles. Have you heard of these rumors, such as “5G base stations have high radiation and are harmful to health”, “riding a high-speed train is equivalent to taking X-rays”, “flighting on a plane is equivalent to having 10 chest X-rays”, etc. These rumors have no scientific basis. As a new energy product, electric vehicles will also produce electromagnetic radiation. Although there is no evidence that the electromagnetic radiation of automobiles can cause harm to the human body, BYD will still reduce the level of electromagnetic radiation in the car, so that consumers can rest assured.

Through a large number of scientific experiments in leading laboratories, BYD has controlled the electromagnetic radiation level in the car to be lower than that of air conditioners and LED lights. Han’s vehicle system has been optimized and designed to ensure that the electromagnetic radiation of the vehicle is at a low level under high-speed, rapid acceleration and deceleration conditions. Moreover, in the field of automotive electromagnetic compatibility, BYD has invested a lot of energy and money, and conducted a large number of exploratory tests to ensure that its products can reach higher standards.

Consumers are paying more and more attention to the health and safety of vehicles, as Wang Chuanfu said: “Safety is the greatest luxury of electric vehicles.” For car companies, what they have to do now is to do more research, because the more research, the greater the gain. If you want to stay ahead, you have to explore a lot of things on your own.

Hà Thanh — Thu, 15 Apr 2021 18:19:05 +0000

According to Bloomberg, if VinFast’s IPO is successful, it could push VinFast’s valuation up to $ 50 billion, on par with Hyundai, Honda and surpass Ford.

VinFast expects a higher price than Ford

On April 12, Bloomberg reported that Vingroup was considering bringing VinFast on the US stock exchange to raise $ 2 billion. According to this source, the car company is currently working with consulting units to IPO (initial public offering) right in the second quarter of 2021.

The source of Bloomberg confirmed that if successful, the IPO could push VinFast’s valuation up to $ 50 billion. At that time, VinFast will immediately close to the top 10 largest car manufacturers in the world, on par with famous manufacturers such as Hyundai (51.38 billion USD), Honda (50.86 billion USD) and surpass Ford (49, 47 billion USD).

With a scale of $ 2 billion, VinFast’s IPO will be the largest ever IPO of a Vietnamese company, after Vinhomes’ first share sale worth $ 1.4 billion in 2018. This could also become the first Vietnamese company to list in the US.

Although VinFast is a fledgling company, the valuation may outstrip traditional Asian carmakers like Suzuki ($ 21.29 billion) and Japan’s Nissan ($ 20.63 billion).

VinFast IPO details including the size and timing may change as discussions with the consultant are in progress. Bloomberg also said that Vingroup representatives declined to comment on this information.

The top 10 car manufacturers with the highest market capitalization are currently Tesla of the US, Toyota of Japan, Volkswagen of Germany, Daimler of Germany, General Motors (GM) of the US, BMW of Germany, BYD and Nio of China. , Stellantis and Ferrari.
