Chapter 1066 New Car Test
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the year is basically over, and it’s time for everyone to calm down and go about their work of calling the police.
The reason why it is said that the fifteenth day of the first lunar month can only be regarded as the end of the new year, because there is another second day of the second lunar month after it.
The first lunar month falls on February 2nd, so it has nothing to do with the Chinese New Year.
On the second day of February, when the dragon raises its head, a few firecrackers are set off in rural areas in the north. Since setting off firecrackers is somehow related to the New Year.
Coincidentally, on the day when the dragon raised its head, Weilai Automobile obtained the new energy vehicle manufacturing license issued by the state.
This is the first enterprise in China to obtain the product production qualification of a national new energy vehicle enterprise.
Weilai was the first to obtain a manufacturing license for new energy vehicles, which has a lot to do with the electric buses produced in previous years.
In the past few years, Weilai and cooperative factories have produced more than 300,000 electric buses.
In addition to selling nearly 200,000 vehicles domestically, tens of thousands of them were also exported.
These exported electric buses are basically exported to Western developed countries.
Weilai electric buses are safe, durable and have a long range. These advantages have accumulated a good reputation in the country, so Weilai Group was the first to obtain a manufacturing license for new energy vehicles.
After obtaining the qualification for new energy vehicles, Weilai sent the three prototypes of the produced vehicles to the relevant departments for testing.
Once it passes the inspection, it will be put into production immediately.
Although Weilai Group is proceeding intensively, the planned production capacity is not very large.
If these three cars are put into production, the annual output of each car will not exceed 10,000 units.
Jiang Yu still knew that electric cars had just entered the market, but sales were very dismal.
In the first year of the previous generation of electric cars, only 5,000 were sold in China.
In this life, it is better to have more than this number. It would be good to have twice as much.
After the state approves new energy vehicles, Weilai's fuel vehicles will have to be adjusted accordingly. Weilai will only launch an A sedan this year and an SUV next year.
Then...
And then is there any more?
Of course, there still has to be a solution. Jiang Yu’s plan is to stop selling fuel vehicles in 15 years.
This will take a few more years to rely on fuel vehicles. If there are no fuel vehicles and only electric vehicles, even with state subsidies, we will probably lose money.
On April 1, 2009, Andy Rubin and his team finally returned to China, and naturally they took their robotic achievements with them when they left.
Of course Wei Lai needs to have a backup so they can do their own research after they leave.
Unknowingly, Andy Rubin's team has been working in China for almost five years.
Jiang Yu sent them off to the plane in Bohai City with a sincere attitude.
After all, they developed a mobile operating system for Weilai mobile phones, and upgraded this system before the second-generation mobile phone was released last year.
These people are also teachers of Weilai's technical staff, and have trained hundreds of mobile phone systems and robot teams for Weilai Electronics.
Now that these people have been able to completely take over the follow-up research and development of mobile phone operating systems and robot operating systems, Jiang Yu only approved their departure.
The robots they developed have also attracted the attention of the military, and all the information has been handed over to the military, which is also conducting research on its transformation.
Weilai has oversold the use of robots and basically integrated them into the vehicle production line. It has not developed robots for other purposes at all.
This is not possible. Without technology, it is useless to say anything. Now that we have technology, we must use it.
Besides, for those who follow Andy Rubin, once they throw it away, they may not be able to pick it up again in the future.
Jiang Yu arranged some things related to robots.
In fact, he can't say that he knows nothing about robots, but he doesn't know two things either. It's just his own memory arrangement. As for whether these people can study it, he doesn't care too much.
As long as they don't waste their skills, there will always be something they can use.
one day.
In industry, there are many areas where robots can show their talents.
Automobile manufacturing, electronic and electrical, rubber and plastics, casting, food industry, chemical industry, glass industry, household appliances industry, metallurgical industry and tobacco industry, etc.
These are the industries with the highest robot utilization rates.
Among the industrial zones, there are automobile manufacturing, electronic appliances, rubber and plastics, casting, chemical industry, household appliances, etc. The demand is still quite large.
Jiang Yu arranged projects related to these industries. Of course, he could only propose a framework and let Weilai's scientific and technical personnel explore and study it themselves.
Research funding is not a problem and the bonuses are very generous.
Weilai research has always been unparalleled in terms of environmental hardware.
The country has just issued several manufacturing licenses for new energy vehicles, and Weilai has sent three test vehicles. This makes the national automobile inspection department a little excited. They also want to know what new energy cars feel like.
At the nationally designated testing base, testers saw three test vehicles of Weilai.
An A-class small car, a B-class mid-size sedan and an SUV.
Two of them are pure electric and one is a plug-in hybrid.
When the testers saw the styling of these three new energy vehicles from Weilai, their hearts jumped.
Weilai Automobile has always been known for its avant-garde styling in recent years, and the three cars they saw have even more avant-garde styling.
That A-class car has a multi-spoke chrome-plated air intake grille at the front and is equipped with Merlohosaurus-shaped headlights, which makes the car look more refined and high-end.
On the side of the body, the 17-inch double five-spoke whirlwind wheels look sporty.
The tail lines are clear and full, with a slanted visual experience, showing sufficient sports genes.
The shape of the rear of the car is dominated by horizontal lines, which are strong, thick and clearly defined.
The through-type light strip design and the rear trunk lid with a duck tail effect make the entire model more distinguishable and classy.
In terms of the interior, the most eye-catching feature is the large LCD touch screen.
In 2009, few cars were equipped with such vehicle touch screens.
Needless to say, this car is very comfortable to drive.
And that SUV was even more outrageous.
The front grille is designed with a peak grid, with a dot-matrix grille on the inside and an exaggerated fog lamp shape.
The headlights on both sides are connected to the front center grille, creating a very strong sense of unity.
The side lines are smooth and full, and extend to the waistline at the tail, forming a dynamic image.
The same through-type taillights also give people a unique feeling.
Full LED headlights, large-area dot-matrix mid-grid penetrating taillights, and 18-inch wheels give it a sporty and technological feel.
The testers circled these cars countless times.
"Are you still testing it? You can tell the problem with the car just by looking at it? Let me test it."
