Kyushu Automobile Factory.
Comprehensive automobile research and development center, a huge open space in the center of the building.
Today, the place was once again crowded with curious visitors who came to see the new products of Jiuzhou Automobile Factory.
Different from the low-speed electric vehicles that everyone watched before, today’s protagonist is much larger than the previous Laotoule vehicles.
These are two vehicles with silver bodies, one is a sedan with smooth and rounded lines.
Most of the body adopts a streamlined shape, which reminds people of speed and movement at first glance.
The other one is an SUV-shaped vehicle, square and square, with a tall and large body.
Although the shapes and sizes of the two cars are very different, they both give people a common feeling, that is, a sense of the future!
Compared with most cars and SUVs sold on the market today, the appearance of these two cars is full of futuristic appearance, like products of two eras!
Of course, this was inseparable from Xu Yifan's training.
After all, he is a time traveler from more than ten years ago. Although he does not know how to design, he has been exposed to many vehicle models due to his previous work.
Especially the electric models of new forces such as Wei Xiaoli, the appearance design is still good.
Xu Yifan can improve the design of the car by one or two levels with a little guidance from the designers.
The crowd was buzzing around the two vehicles with their doors open.
“These two cars are so beautiful!”
"Is this the electric car produced by Jiuzhou Automobile Factory?"
"It's so handsome. Is it really a car produced by our company? It looks much better than those joint venture brand vehicles!"
"Compared with this, BYD F3 New Energy looks so ugly!"
"Compared with the Santana I bought before, this car looks much more luxurious."
"Finally, Jiuzhou Automobile Factory is going to build a real car. If you take out such a car, a lot of people will like it just for its appearance. Hehehehe!"
"I don't know if these two cars can be sold in Jiuzhou stores. If so, I think I can get the agency rights!"
Among the crowd, in addition to some managers from Jiuzhou Automobile Factory, there were also several agents who came to the factory and were very jealous of these two cars.
After all, low-speed electric vehicles are relatively niche. Although they have brought them a lot of profits, who would object to making a lot of money!
If more cars can be registered, the consumer base will definitely expand a lot.
At the same time, among the crowd, there was also Chen Qianjun who came to watch the excitement!
When he is free, Chen Qianjun likes to come to Jiuzhou Automobile Factory to watch.
Every time he goes back with great surprises, the development speed of Jiuzhou Automobile Factory has exceeded his expectations by a lot!
A large car company can bring tax revenue and many jobs to the local area.
Especially companies like Jiuzhou Automobile Factory, which have never stopped developing.
The jobs it only provides are unique in today's Jiangzhou City.
What's more, this factory area will be here, which will bring about changes. Nowadays, all kinds of snack sellers, tobacco and alcohol sellers, etc. around the factory area are extremely prosperous!
Even if they don't work at Kyushu Automobile Factory, many people have discovered business opportunities because of the prosperity of Kyushu Automobile Factory.
In Chen Qianjun's eyes, Jiuzhou Automobile is much more important than other factories in the city!
Today, of course, we have to take a sneak peek at this real car test model of Kyushu Motors.
"I wonder if this time's car can open up the market as easily as the previous low-speed electric cars."
"Today's low-speed electric vehicle market has become more and more clear. Jiuzhou Automobile is unique in the country, and the money it makes is not bad compared to some large car companies!"
"If we can gain a firm foothold in the automobile market, then Jiangzhou City will prosper!"
"Don't talk about competing with joint venture cars, as long as we become the largest domestic car company, it will be fine."
Chen Qianjun seems to see that a promotion and salary increase are just around the corner!
While everyone was watching, an automotive engineer told everyone about the car model.
"These two models are named according to Mr. Xu. The sedan is named Dongting and the SUV is named Taishan."
"Jiuzhou·Dongting."
"The vehicle length is 4980mm, the vehicle width is 1882mm, and the vehicle height is 1488mm."
"Positioning B-class luxury sedan."
"It is equipped with Hengxin's third-generation high-capacity lithium iron phosphate battery, with a maximum cruising range of 600 kilometers. It uses fast charging technology and can charge 80% in two hours."
"Power consumption per 100 kilometers is 20kwh."
"It is equipped with an electric four-wheel drive system developed by Kyushu Motors. The vehicle is equipped with four motors code-named 'Suzaku', with a total power of 560kw, a total torque of 1200nm, and acceleration from zero to 0-100 in 2.6 seconds."
"Using the single-speed highly integrated reduction gear set for electric vehicles independently developed by Jiuzhou Automobile, and the independently developed intelligent electronic control system."
"Self-developed chassis technology, front and rear independent suspension, new material disc brakes, and energy recovery electric braking technology."
"Tire specification 245/45R19."
"There are a total of twelve airbags in the whole car..."
The R&D engineer introduced each technology to the onlookers present.
Unlike before, which only had one battery technology, today's Kyushu Automobile reveals technologies that transcend the times everywhere!
Nearly a year has passed, and Xu Yifan deliberately controlled and ordered important technologies first.
Today, Jiuzhou Auto has accumulated a lot of technology in vehicle manufacturing.
In addition to the visible technologies, the body materials, brake pad manufacturing materials, etc. are also very different from ordinary cars.
There are also industrial equipment and technologies for large-volume automobile production, which are continuously developed on the basis of the existing ones to ensure that the products they produce, while having excellent performance, are more durable and cost-effective, and the quality, assembly process, etc. will be better.
For these technologies, almost all the profits made by Kyushu Automobile, except for wages, materials and other costs, are invested in research and development!
Today's Jiuzhou Automobile, in terms of technology alone, is even more powerful than those electric vehicles built by new energy vehicle companies in 2023!
Ninety percent of this development is due to the system!
As well as the comprehensive automobile R&D center, materials laboratory, and the 10% efforts of many R&D personnel.
Today's Jiuzhou Automobile Factory has a total of more than 100 technology patents, registered domestically and internationally.
In some technologies, preliminary technologies have been registered as patents, while deeper technologies are not yet available.
Many important technologies that exceed today's technologies, such as third-generation lithium iron phosphate batteries, high-power Suzaku motors, etc., do not have registered patents.
There is no need to worry about other companies registering patents before themselves.
Technological research and development is like a road of continuous progress, which requires cutting through thorns in a dense jungle to move forward.
Jiuzhou Automobile announced that it would occupy the first section of the road it took, so that others would not be allowed to go down here.
For example, first- and second-generation new lithium iron phosphate battery technology, primary Suzaku motor technology, etc.
Patent barriers can be formed by registering patents for outdated but important technologies.
Block the door, so you don't have to worry about others walking in front.
If another company wants to follow the path of Kyushu Motors, it needs to pay a patent fee first and obtain the authorization of Kyushu Motors before it can follow this path.
If you don't want to go along with it, you can re-open a road from the nearby forest and develop technology that can catch up with Kyushu Motors. That company is awesome!
There are pros and cons to patent registration. While enjoying protection, you must also publish your technology.
Really high-end technology, it is better not to register!
