So far, no smart trucks have emerged. Although the technology of electronic computers has developed very quickly, there is still a long way to go to achieve intelligent driving, but this is already a
The development trend is here.
Qin Zhenhua was just a joke, but Sun Mingyuan said it seriously: "Director Qin, we have already had a premonition that in the future, we will definitely enter intelligent driving. Therefore, our current technical reserves are also for laying the foundation in the future."
Qin Zhenhua was a little surprised when he heard Sun Mingyuan say this. Of course, he knew what Sun Mingyuan said meant. Everything should be planned in advance. If others have developed and then researched it, it would be too late.
.
However, FAW Factory is engaged in cars. In this regard, they are most proficient in the first machine factory. The first machine factory is engaged in tanks. In the field of tanks, it is still a bit unacceptable to intelligence.
"Now, automotive technology must break through the automatic transmission and advanced power steering system, which is the premise of autonomous driving. No one is on it, and it also needs to be able to operate the car. Therefore, the car must be able to drive itself and shift gears by itself.
Moving forward and backing, you also need to turn by yourself." Sun Mingyuan said: "Now, with an automatic transmission, the car can start by itself as long as the on-board computer sends a signal. At the same time, with an advanced power steering system, even if you go back in the future
No one can operate the steering wheel and can also perform steering operations. These are all laying the foundation for future autonomous driving."
When FAW was studying this kind of military off-road truck, it invested a lot of money. Their investments were of course meaningful, and this was to lay the foundation for the future.
After hearing Sun Mingyuan say this, Qin Zhenhua was interested: "If the trucks in the future can really achieve autonomous driving, this will be a huge improvement, and logistics efficiency will be higher. Of course, drivers may be unemployed."
Now, with the development of the country's economy, the conditions outside the roads are getting better and better, and more and more cars are also increasing. Qin Zhenhua is very curious. Once autonomous driving is realized, what will be like in the future? Cars do not need drivers.
This can greatly improve traffic efficiency, but it also means the disappearance of the driver's profession.
"Yes, this will be a profound change, but all of this requires a long time of effort." Sun Mingyuan said: "Twenty years, or even more, and autonomous driving is destined to not be able to do so at the beginning stage of the process.
It is only in some special areas, such as on the docks, short-distance trucks that carry containers can be automated first, tested on closed roads, and only after everything is mature can it be put on the road."
Sun Mingyuan has seen the future prospects. Now, they are going to go step by step in that direction. Although it may take a long time, they must conduct pre-research in advance.
"Our country was backward in the past, so compared with developed Western countries, many of our technologies are insufficient. It is precisely because of this that we have to continue to develop and follow up, and finally realize our
To surpass, in the truck field, we are trying to catch up with the trend of the world. In the future, in the era of intelligence, perhaps we can still lead the development of the times.”
Sun Mingyuan is full of confidence in this.
Qin Zhenhua was also very happy: "I didn't expect that you can actually think about this kind of situation. I am very satisfied with your work. I hope that in the future, we can have more cooperation. By the way, your future truck, and
What's your thoughts?"
"The future development path will be intelligence on the one hand, and on the other hand, the revolution of the power system." Sun Mingyuan was also very good at speaking, and he talked endlessly: "Over the years, our protection of the environment has more and more
We are paying more and more attention to the exhaust emissions of trucks, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for us trucks to reduce emissions. Therefore, the power aspect must be changed."
"Do you use natural gas?" Qin Zhenhua asked. He had heard Wang Erzhu talk about these things and knew that natural gas has been very popular in recent years because natural gas emissions are cleaner than diesel.
"Natural gas is one direction. Our truck's engine can burn natural gas with a slight improvement. However, this thing is still polluted and is not a real clean fuel. In the future, after the emission standards continue to be raised, we want to continue to meet the standards.
, it will be difficult." Sun Mingyuan said.
"What will you burn in the future?" Qin Zhenhua asked.
"Now, there are two directions in the world. One of them is to burn hydrogen. We know that after hydrogen and oxygen are combined, the only product is water. Therefore, using hydrogen as fuel should be the cleanest." Sun Mingyuan said
.
Hearing his words, Qin Zhenhua shook his head: "I don't think this is a development direction. Hydrogen is very dangerous, much more dangerous than natural gas. Moreover, it is not easy to obtain. There is such an experimental vehicle in the capital.
.”
Hydrogen is the lightest gas, so if there is a slight leakage, it will evaporate into the air and then it may explode. Although natural gas is also dangerous, after all, natural gas is directly mined and can be used directly. If hydrogen is
, but it needs to be made, which is not suitable at all.
"The other direction is electrification." Sun Mingyuan said: "Use batteries to store energy, so that during operation, there is real zero emissions."
Qin Zhenhua pondered for a moment and said, "Fortunately, our tank engines do not require emissions."
Both directions are not favored by Qin Zhenhua. It is even more inappropriate to use batteries to store energy. How much energy can the battery store? Moreover, how long does it take to store primary energy? How to make commercial vehicles trouble?
Qin Zhenhua couldn't control it either. Fortunately, military vehicles did not have these requirements, because military vehicles were going to fight. When they arrived on the battlefield, they suddenly ran out of power and were charging slowly? How could that be possible? Besides, during the war period, electricity would be generated
The station is likely to be blown up, where does the electricity come from? Do you carry a fuel generator with you?
Therefore, military vehicles do not require emissions. Although tanks also use high-pressure common rail technology, they are definitely not for the purpose of meeting emission standards, but for the purpose of more full combustion, which can make the tank engine more powerful. Of course, the benefits are that
,The tanks nowadays no longer emit black smoke, and it can be regarded as reducing exhaust pollution.
