"Everyone, after such a long period of planning, our layout in ASEAN countries has begun to show results, and the production base has also been officially put into operation..."
Zhang Shun said with a smile that Zhang Shun is the chairman of the China Motorcycle Alliance. The person behind Zhang Shun represents Tesla.
Tesla's electric motorcycles have been exported to developed countries such as Europe, the United States and Japan, and are deeply loved by consumers in these countries.
However, Tesla takes a high-end route, and its competitors are all top international motorcycle brands. However, it can achieve this position of chairman because Tesla has absolute technology.
Don’t think that the technology of electric motorcycles is so easy. If it were so easy, motorcycle manufacturers in Europe and the United States would have made it long ago.
For those manufacturers, it is more difficult to manufacture electric motorcycles. Because electric motorcycles require new technologies, these technologies are started from scratch, and there is no so-called technical reserve.
The three major technologies of motor, electronic control, and battery are very difficult. Those motorcycle manufacturers do not have the strength of Tesla, and they do not dare to invest money on such a large scale.
So in terms of electric motorcycle technology, Tesla has already left them far behind.
In this world, only those with core technologies have the right to speak. The technologies currently used by the Motorcycle Alliance are all Tesla's technologies, so they regard Tesla as the leader.
And this choice also gave them a taste of the sweetness. In the past two years, the electric motorcycle industry has exploded in China. Tesla went high-end, and they went low-end.
Use the fastest speed to capture the domestic electric motorcycle market. Although they do not make as much money as Tesla, their small life is much better than before.
The electric motorcycle industry is very popular in China now. Now the entire China has completely lifted the ban on motorcycles.
Electric motorcycles can not only be used on the street, but also on the highway. With cameras and insurance, it is safer for consumers to drive.
The quality is much better than the previous motorcycles. Although the price is a lot more expensive, in actuarial calculations, the cost of use is even lower than the original electric motorcycles.
Although the motorcycles that were popular in China were cheap, the quality was really not good, especially the batteries. If they were used frequently, a set of batteries would basically need to be replaced every year.
But today's electric motorcycles are different. Electric motorcycles use high-energy-density lithium batteries, coupled with Tesla's top technology.
These technologies allow the battery to degrade very little. These batteries only degrade by about 20% after five years of use.
Even if it is used for ten years, the battery will degrade by up to 50%. You must know that the cruising range of electric motorcycles can reach four to five hundred kilometers or more.
Even for a light pedal electric motorcycle, the cruising range is more than 200 kilometers. Even if it is attenuated by 50%, 100 kilometers is enough for family use.
Therefore, when used comprehensively, it is more economical than the original motorcycle. The number of electric motorcycles in China is very scary now, and many people like to ride motorcycles to work.
The rapidly rising huge industry has brought absolute benefits. The biggest benefit is that China's electric motorcycle technology has been continuously upgraded, and at the same time, manufacturing costs have been continuously reduced.
Especially now that the China Motorcycle Alliance has adopted unified standards, many motorcycle parts are universal.
To put it simply, they are the same as Tesla's repurposed motorcycles. The electric motorcycles produced by these manufacturers only have some differences in appearance, but are the same internally.
This way of playing can greatly reduce the manufacturing cost of each vehicle. Coupled with the intelligent assembly line, labor costs are also greatly reduced.
Now, the cost of electric motorcycles of the same level is 30% lower than fuel motorcycles.
This cost advantage is too great. If the cost is low, the selling price can be low. Even if there is a price war, they still have an advantage.
Compared with foreign electric motorcycle manufacturers, the cost of electric motorcycles of the same quality and grade is 10% lower than that of foreign manufacturers.
Don't underestimate this 10%. In such a large-scale production, a 1% reduction in cost is a huge profit. A 10% cost difference can directly make foreign motorcycle manufacturers vomit blood.
This is the benefit of the alliance. With the huge market of China as its backing, and the giant Longteng Group as the leader, the China Motorcycle Alliance has now become a giant.
This time, the China Motorcycle Alliance wants to enter the ASEAN market. The layout of the ASEAN market has already begun.
This layout has been in place since the Future City project was established. This layout includes many aspects.
These are being carried out step by step, and the motorcycle market in ASEAN countries is very large.
This market is even bigger than China. Because the economy of ASEAN countries is relatively poor, many people cannot afford cars, and cheap motorcycles have become their first choice.
Previously, this market was dominated by foreign manufacturers. Especially Japanese manufacturers, and Japanese brand motorcycles can be seen everywhere.
Now, after such a long period of planning, they are ready to take action on this manufacturer to promote electric motorcycles and make electric motorcycles the mainstream here.
In order to achieve this goal, the China Automobile Alliance has done a lot of work. They conducted a detailed investigation of the ASEAN market and specially customized electric motorcycles suitable for the ASEAN market based on the detailed data they had.
According to different markets, motorcycles with different prices and different performances are launched. For example, for the rural market, the price of the motorcycle should not be too expensive, and it should be durable, able to pull heavy objects, etc.
There are not only two-wheeled motorcycles, but also three-wheeled and even four-wheeled motorcycles, giving everyone a lot of choices.
At present, the layout has achieved initial results. Especially in Malaysia, the layout is the fastest. Large-scale construction of charging piles and comprehensive marketing points have also been established.
The employees have also been trained and are now waiting for the order to open.
Zhang Shun's words filled the eyes of the people below with anticipation. Now that everything is ready, let's see how the market responds.
They don't dare to draw random conclusions about the market. Although they have done market research, the real market still depends on sales volume.
Everything is based on sales volume. Without sales volume, everything is in vain. But judging from the current market expectations, everything is still relatively good.
After all, over such a long period of time, Longteng Group has recruited many trolls to subtly promote China on the Internet.
And China's electric vehicles and electric motorcycles are also promoted by China as its new business card. Just like high-speed rail, China's new energy vehicles are now the world's top representatives, far behind the new energy vehicles of other countries in the world.
