As a special model designed specifically for the Chinese market, Friesland has shouldered the responsibility of supporting brand sales when Changan Ford was at its lowest point. In 2017, Furuisi created a monthly sales peak of 35,400 vehicles. However, after entering 2018, Furuisi’s sales began to gradually decline. This year coincided with the launch of a facelifted model by Fu Ruisi. The limited product power upgrades of the facelifted Ferriss, coupled with the strong iterations of rivals, are the main reasons for the continued decline in sales of Changan Ford Ferriss. In the 80,000-120,000 yuan market, Dongfeng Nissan Sylphy’s product strength is far ahead. Compared with products such as Yidong PLUS of the same level, Furuisi can’t find cheapness in terms of design, space, power, configuration or price, and it is inevitable that sales will decline. Another key factor that contributed to the decline in sales of Fraise is that Changan Ford has equipped the entire series of Fraise with a three-cylinder engine. Under the circumstances at the time, the entire market was extremely repulsive to three-cylinder engines. This is also one of the reasons why the new generation of Ford Focus has lost its sales during the same period. Now, as Changan Ford’s sales pick up, it will again compete in the A-class sedan market. On April 12, Changan Ford’s new generation of Forys announced the opening of pre-sales. The pre-sale price of the diamond version is 105,800 yuan, which will be officially unveiled at the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show. Can the new generation of Forys help Changan Ford regain its former style in the A-class sedan market? In terms of appearance, the new generation of Changan Ford Firefly adopts a completely localized design. The design elements of the entire front face are taken from Changan Ford Sharp World PLUS, which looks very grand and stylish. On the car side, the proportions of the new car’s body are handled very harmoniously. At the rear of the car, the new generation of Frost adopts a modified 3D taillight design, which is very recognizable. On the whole, the new generation of Forex’s style is still in line with the aesthetics of the current Chinese market, thanks to the efforts of Ford’s local Chinese design team. As for the interior part, as an economical A-class car, the new generation of Frost has obvious upgrades in the interior. The whole interior is more textured in terms of materials and workmanship, and the design is also very simple. High-end models are also equipped with integrated 10.25-inch dual large screens, and the car-machine system supports functions such as navigation, multimedia, and Internet of Vehicles. In terms of safety configuration, there are 6 airbags/air curtains and other configurations. In this price range, the new generation of Forex’s configuration level is good. In terms of size, the body measurements of the new-generation Changan Ford Firefly are: 4633/1825/1490mm, and the wheelbase is 2687mm. Compared with the previous generation of Floyd (4587/1825/1490mm, wheelbase of 2687mm), the wheelbase of the new generation of Floyd has not changed, only the length of the car has been lengthened. Inferring from this, the new generation of Forex is expected to be built on the platform of the previous model. For the power part, the new generation of Changan Ford Fireworks will continue to be equipped with a 1.5L three-cylinder naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power output of 122 horsepower and a peak torque of 152 Nm. It is matched with a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic manual transmission. Compared with the old version of Friesland, the power calibration of the new generation of Friesland has not changed. On the whole, the new generation of Changan Ford Fireworks has obvious upgrades in design and configuration, and its shortcomings may be mainly concentrated in the two parts of space and power. In particular, the strategy of continuing to use the three-cylinder engine is perhaps the most difficult problem that the new generation of Forex needs to overcome. Although major manufacturers have adopted three-cylinder engines due to the pressure of stricter emission regulations, from the perspective of consumers, three-cylinder engines are still unacceptable products. Since there are still models with four-cylinder engines at the same level to choose from, three-cylinder engines must be the one to be rejected. As an economical A-class sedan, the new generation of Changan Ford Ford Focus wants to return to its former peak of sales, and it may fight against Nissan Sylphy and Changan Yidong PLUS. The final decisive factor may be price. If there are surprises in the pricing, would you consider the new generation of Fruis? Since 2021, Changan Ford’s sales have shown signs of picking up. Its cumulative sales in the first quarter of this year reached 49,325, a year-on-year increase of nearly 50%. However, the driving force for the increase in sales of Changan Ford is mainly concentrated on SUV models. Ruiji, Ruijie PLUS, and the sixth-generation Ford Explorer are the current eukaryotes of Changan Ford. Original author: He Wei Editor: He Wei

Japanese cherry blossoms in full bloom, setting the record for the earliest blooming time of 1,200 years Cherry blossoms, also known as ‘sakura’, the symbol of Japan in bloom, the country is experiencing one of the best times of the year. White and pink flowers bloom throughout the cities and mountainous regions, and thousands of petals cover the ground. For more than a thousand years, Japanese people who have maintained the tradition of seeing cherry blossoms often experience a period of ‘peak full bloom’ only a few days. People often flock to popular places to take photos, camping right below the beautiful blooming trees. But this year, the cherry blossom season comes early and fades quickly. In downtown Kyoto, cherry blossoms are recorded in full bloom for the first time in the history of 1,200 years. Besides the joy of seeing cherry blossoms early, scientists also warn it is a sign of the ‘climate crisis’ that is threatening ecosystems everywhere. Yasuyuki Aono, a researcher at Osaka Prefecture University, collected records from Kyoto city, from historical documents, diaries that the cherry blossom season in downtown Kyoto this year is the year. as early as 1,200 years. In Tokyo, this is the second recorded early blooming time. The last time cherry blossoms peaked at this time of year was 1953, almost 70 years ago. Dr. Lewis Ziska, from Columbia University’s environmental health science, said: “As global temperatures warm, the last frosts of spring appear earlier and flowering occurs early. than”. The timing of peak blooms varies from year to year depending on many factors including weather and precipitation but the recent trend has been ‘earlier and earlier’. “Cherry blossoms are very sensitive to temperature,” said Yasuyuki Aono. Flowering and blooming may be earlier or later depending on the temperature. The winter is very cold, but spring comes surprisingly fast and warm. Young shoots wake up after a period of full rest. ” However, early blooming cherry blossoms are just the tip of the iceberg, a worldwide phenomenon that can destabilize the natural systems and economies of nations. There are two sources of increased heat that are the main drivers of earlier blooms, urbanization and climate change. With increasing urbanization, cities tend to become warmer than surrounding rural areas, known as the heat island effect. But there’s a bigger reason why climate change is causing temperatures in the region and around the world to soar. The day when cherry blossoms bloom early not only appear in Japan, but also occur in some other areas such as Washington, USA. And these earlier blooming days are not only a matter of tourists scrambling to see the flowers in full bloom before their petals fall, but they also have a long-term impact on the entire ecosystem and threaten the existence of many species. The effects of climate change are not limited to cherry blossoms. Many other plant species also experience changes in their lifecycle, which can even drastically affect the stability of their ecosystems. In some areas, farmers may have to change the type of crop. Some climates become too hot for what the tree can tolerate to thrive. Meanwhile, other climates experience more floods, more snow, and increased humidity in the air, which limits the plants that can be planted.

This is the law of nature that has existed for more than a thousand years. When it comes to cherry blossom season, Japanese people often flock to flower viewing spots for picnics or commemorative photos. But this year, the cherry blossom season comes and goes quickly. Scientists call this the earliest blooming season in history, and point out the cause: a climate crisis is threatening the ecosystem. The flowers bloom early The timing of cherry blossoms in full bloom can vary from year to year, depending on factors such as weather or rainfall. But in general, the cherry blossom season tends to come sooner. Researcher Yasuyuki Aono from Osaka Prefecture University gathered historical data in the city of Kyoto. According to Aono, this year’s flower season in Kyoto starts on March 26, the earliest in more than 1,200 years. Aono expert data shows that the city of Kyoto welcomes the cherry blossom season around mid-April for many centuries. From the 1800s, the flowering season shifts to around early April, during which a few years the flowering season takes place at the end of March. “Sakura flowers are very sensitive to temperature”, Mr. Aono analyzed. “The temperature can determine when the flowers bloom. Compared with the 1820s, the current temperature in Japan has increased by about 3.5 degrees C “. He also said that this year’s flower season clearly reflects the change in temperature. Specifically, this year’s winter in Japan is very cold while spring comes incredibly fast and warm. Therefore, cherry blossoms have “awakened with enough rest”. Cherry blossoms in Washington, USA, also bloom early. Photo: Getty. In Tokyo, the cherry blossoms bloom from March 22, the second earliest time in history. “As global temperatures warm, spring frosts occur early, leading to early blooming of cherry blossoms,” said Dr. Lewis Ziska of Columbia University of Environmental Health Sciences. Not only in Japan, the cherry blossoms in Washington, USA, also bloom early. According to the management of the National Park, this year’s cherry blossom season lasts only nearly a week, from March 31 to April 5. Ecosystem randomization However, early blooming is only the “tip of the iceberg”. Associate Professor Amos Tai from the University of Hong Kong warned of the global climate crisis that could destabilize the ecosystem and threaten the life of all species. In fact, plants and insects depend on each other. Both groups need to interact, influence each other, and at the same time need signals from the environment to “adjust their own life cycle”, according to Mr. Tai. Plants, for example, sense the temperature around them. If the temperature is warm enough for a certain amount of time, they will start to leaf, shoot and flower. Likewise, insects and many other animals are temperature dependent throughout their life cycle. Rising temperatures can accelerate growth in animals. “The relationship between plants and insects and other organisms has evolved over the years, that is, thousands to millions of years,” said Mr. Tai. But in recent centuries, climate change is destroying everything and disturbing these relationships ”. Plants and insects can react to increases in temperature at different rates, leaving their lifecycle out of sync. This means plants and insects may not grow together in the spring. Now, flowers can bloom before the insect is ready, or vice versa. “Insects will not find nutrients from plants and plants do not have enough nutrients to pollinate,” Mr. Tai concluded.

According to a 2009 study in the journal Biological Conservation , over the past few decades, a number of flora and fauna have transformed themselves to escape the effects of climate change. But the ecosystem is increasingly difficult to adapt, as the climate becomes unpredictable. “Ecosystems are not used to such large fluctuations,” said Tai. “The productivity of ecosystems can be degraded, even collapsed in the future.” The effects of climate change are not limited to cherry blossom season. Mr. Tai said that life cycle changes occurred in many crops of economic value, posing challenges to food security and farmers’ livelihoods. At the same time, food supplies in some vulnerable areas are also directly affected by drought and grasshoppers. “Farmers will find it difficult to predict crop yields,” said Mr. Tai. “Farming is now like gambling. Climate change is randomizing every factor in our ecosystems ”.
