"Can the vehicle-mounted system be put into market application?"
After receiving a positive reply from Academician Shi, Lu Beifeng showed a satisfied smile on his face.
After saying goodbye and not disturbing him, he took the people away from the research institute.
It is useless to say too much when dealing with such big bosses. Giving them the greatest support is worth a thousand words.
They don't like to deal with people, it's just that they don't like it, it doesn't mean they don't know how to do it, and it doesn't mean they don't understand it.
The group came to the Chen Liquan Research Institute next door and found that Tesla’s battery management system had been successfully cracked.
Replicating the efficient battery life is not difficult to achieve since they have this battery management technology.
The difficult thing is how to avoid Tesla's patents while also 'borrowing' the essence of the technology and turning it into something of your own.
The research results are also quite gratifying. After all, they have the final answer in hand. They just need to follow the trajectory and ideas to find alternative patented technologies.
Tianhuo Technology’s own battery management technology is currently progressing quite rapidly, barely reaching 80% of Tesla’s, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.
Chen Liquan's team is still researching day and night, striving to reach 100% as soon as possible, or even surpass it.
The copycat surpasses the original,
This has always been their strength.
Otherwise, domestic technological development would not catch up with the Western powers in just a few decades.
Although we are still at a disadvantage now, we are not as helpless as we were a few decades ago.
They could already see each other's backs.
To tie, to surpass, to be a fait accompli.
That day won't be long, it will come soon!
Leave the research institute and come to the scientific research building.
Because it is a temporary office space, the working environment is relatively simple. It is a very ordinary square three-story building with an area of more than 9,000 square meters.
The research and development project here is Tianhuo Technology's first new energy vehicle, which takes a high-end route. The chief engineer of this project is Jiang Pingyuan.
A professor at the School of Automotive Engineering of Hegong University, he has won three national science and technology progress awards, nine provincial science and technology progress awards, and numerous municipal science and technology progress awards.
In the next few years, he is expected to go further and win the honor of being a national academician.
He is Chen Shaojie's mentor. Jiang Pingyuan joined the company largely because of Chen Shaojie.
Hefei University of Technology is only a 211 school, but its automotive engineering major is the strongest among similar colleges in China.
Countless big names in the domestic automobile industry are inextricably linked to this college.
Chen Shaojie is just an ordinary undergraduate in this major. It would be okay if he is unknown. Once he becomes the manager of a large car company like now, the advantages of a famous university will be fully revealed.
Under the same conditions, the relationship between teachers and students will become the key to breaking the situation.
Shi Xian thought so, and so did Jiang Pingyuan.
Lu Beifeng smiled politely and asked: "General Manager Jiang, how is the design of new energy vehicles?"
The two teams of Shi Xian, Chen Liquan, and Chen Liquan are engaged in research and development for a certain technology, while here is the coordinator, responsible for the overall structure and appearance design of the car.
Jiang Pingyuan nodded in response, called his assistant, took two documents and drawings of the car and handed them to Lu Beifeng.
"We designed two cars, one is a pure electric type, and the other is a gasoline-electric hybrid type."
"We plan to install pure electric vehicles with the latest ternary lithium batteries from the Jude era, and coupled with the company's battery management technology, the battery life can reach about 510 kilometers. However, the disadvantages of lithium batteries are obvious, and they are afraid of extremely cold weather."
"Petroleum-electric hybrid vehicles may be the mainstream new energy vehicles before the next generation of battery tests."
"But there's a problem, the internal combustion engine!"
"The current internal combustion engine technology in China is far inferior to that of foreign countries."
"Even because of the promulgation of new energy policies, many car companies have given up on the research and development of internal combustion engines."
"Since the first car is a high-end model, the price will not be less than 500,000 yuan."
"If a car at this price range is purely electric, regardless of appearance or interior, as well as various comfort functions, we have the hope and ability to do it and even surpass the leader Tesla."
"But in terms of internal combustion engines, it is difficult for us to surpass a series of high-end sedans from BMW and Mercedes-Benz in the same price range."
Lu Beifeng nodded slightly and agreed with Jiang Pingyuan's design concept. His ideas were far more mature than Chen Shaojie's and he also considered the market audience.
If you want to enter the northern market, or some small cities with few charging piles, a hybrid gasoline-electric vehicle will be more suitable than a pure electric vehicle.
Internal combustion engines are a big problem.
You can't have a high-end car with a price of more than 500,000 yuan, but it is equipped with an internal combustion engine that is the same as the domestic engine of a car with more than 100,000 yuan.
When customers who buy know this news, they will definitely feel very uncomfortable and feel like they have been deceived.
Once this car is sold, other car companies will definitely dismantle the car.
If you find this problem, you will easily become the target of their attacks.
Lu Beifeng pondered for a moment and made a decision.
Two cars are being developed at the same time, one is pure electric and the other is hybrid gasoline and electric.
Because he suddenly remembered that in the first half of the year, he accidentally saw the news that BMW had packaged and sold the B-series three-cylinder engine production line and technology for 119 million.
The buyer is Brilliance, a compatriot from Yidai. Brilliance and BMW are 55 shares and are the only domestic partners.
But since BMW has a precedent of selling technology, selling to them does not seem impossible.
The three-cylinder was eliminated from the market because it would vibrate once the speed exceeded 60 km/h.
They can be bought back and improved, and they will be more than adequate as internal combustion engines for hybrid vehicles.
BMW has three-cylinders and domestically produced four-cylinders. It has to be said that there are still many people in China who are fond of foreigners.
Lu Beifeng expressed his thoughts to Jiang Pingyuan.
After Jiang Pingyuan thought deeply, he smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, this may be a good choice. You can try it."
Since the three-cylinder engine head has an odd number of cylinders, the engine cannot achieve dynamic balance during operation and is prone to vibration problems.
This is something you brought from your mother's womb.
The solution is simple. The most common solution is to add a balance shaft.
This is like a person walking a tightrope with bare hands. When he is shaking back and forth, if you give him a long bamboo pole, it will be easier to stabilize.
Finally, some cost is spent on sound insulation and noise reduction in the engine compartment, so that drivers will not feel the vibration and noise problems of the three-cylinder engine when driving the car.
This problem is solved.
The method is well known, but the reason why three-cylinders have been eliminated from the market is mainly because of low power. This engine can only be installed on low-end models. Once a balance shaft is added, the cost will increase.
This kind of laborious and unprofitable thing will naturally be eliminated by the market.
But they are planning to make a high-end car, so they don't have to worry about adding a balance shaft and increasing the cost of the car.
Moreover, small power means small displacement, which can better cater to the country's carbon emission policy.
The three-cylinder is not a disadvantage,
Instead, it will become a small bright spot.
After all, their main focus is still producing pure electric vehicles.
