The semi-automatic battery swap platform technology has been completed, and the next step is to lay out battery swap stations.
In addition, the second-generation engine technology is basically completed.
However, the research and development progress of Kyushu Motor's first-generation gasoline-electric hybrid technology is only 82%.
Compared with simpler battery swapping technology, the progress is much slower.
After walking around the factory and the R&D center, it was exactly 5:30 in the afternoon. I got off work and had dinner in the cafeteria!
Amid Xu Yifan's expectations, two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Early that morning, Xu Yifan and several senior executives of Jiuzhou Automobile Company were waiting at the gate of Jiuzhou Automobile Factory.
Nowadays, after many reception inspections in the past two years, I have adapted a lot to this kind of official inspection situation and can handle it easily.
We didn’t keep everyone waiting for too long, and soon several cars came from a distance.
The car at the beginning was very familiar to Xu Yifan and others.
It was the car of Chen Qianjun who often went to Jiuzhou Automobile Factory.
The vehicle stopped, and Chen Qianjun and the old man Xu Yifan had seen before got out of the vehicle.
There were not many people accompanying him, only seven or eight, but most of them were older.
"Mr. Xu, long time no see!" the old man said with a smile on his face after getting off the car.
"Boss, I've been waiting for you!"
Xu Yifan stepped forward, shook hands with the other party excitedly, and then poured out his sorrow with a sad face.
"Do you know how I spent this year?"
“It’s not easy to develop new energy electric vehicles!”
"Obviously, our cars are already very good in terms of product quality and performance. Even many foreign car companies are already studying our cars."
"A few days ago, the CEO of Volkswagen came to discuss the acquisition of Kyushu Automobile, and he was given US$20 billion."
"Well, is there such a thing!? Did Kyushu Motors agree?"
The old man answered with some surprise, and then looked at Chen Qianjun beside him.
"That's definitely not the case. I don't want to work for others." Xu Yifan shook his head.
After Xu Yifan finished speaking, the old man breathed a sigh of relief.
"However, it is still difficult for consumers to recognize electric vehicles, and sales are very few." Xu Yifan continued to complain.
To this young man, the old man said helplessly: "Didn't I hear that Xichuan Province ordered more than a thousand official cars some time ago, and I even signed on them. With the price of Kyushu cars, it can be It’s not a small amount.”
"Ah haha, that batch of cars is still being prepared for handover, and the payment has not been received yet." Xu Yifan said haha.
The old man smiled helplessly: "Well, I haven't seen you for a year. I heard that Jiuzhou Automobile Factory has changed a lot. Please take me to see it."
"no problem!"
Xu Yifan and several company executives led the group towards the Jiuzhou Automobile Factory.
After getting on a specially prepared sightseeing car in the factory area, the low-speed electric car quickly headed towards the depths of the Kyushu Automobile Factory, where there are now many buildings and factories.
From Jiuzhou Automobile's low-speed electric vehicle production workshop, to battery production plant No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3, to Jiuyuan Electric Vehicle No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 factories.
In particular, the newly built factories attracted the attention of this group of people.
In the super factory, Chen Qianjun and others looked at the robotic arm in front of them, grabbing the one-piece car body, and using a smaller robotic arm, computer controlled welding of the body structure without workers.
Next to him, Xu Yifan introduced the current high-tech factory to everyone.
“This is Kyushu Automobile’s super factory. The main products it produces are several Kyushu electric cars, Kyushu Dongting, Kyushu Taishan, and most of the bodies and parts of Kyushu Suzaku.
The super factory can save a lot of vehicle manufacturing costs and improve production efficiency. The various equipment inside have reached the world's advanced level.
At the same time, a large number of computer-controlled robotic arms are used, which greatly improves production efficiency. At the same time, less manual labor is used, and the quality of the products is more stable.
Although this factory is not very large, it can produce 50,000 Kyushu cars annually.
“This is just the first super factory to be established, and it is of experimental nature.
The super factory to be built later will be more than ten times the size of this factory, and the output can reach more than fifteen times after improvements. "
Compared with domestic automobile manufacturing companies, there are many advanced factories in front of us.
It was even more technological than the production lines of those joint venture car companies. The old man had a smile on his face and kept exaggerating.
"Okay, okay, they say that people will be impressed after three days of separation. This Kyushu car has not been seen for a year, and its technological progress is also impressive."
"Seeing such a rapidly developing automobile company, I seem to see domestic scientific researchers from that backward era, who were also full of enthusiasm and could turn decay into miracles under difficult conditions."
Even around the old man, several people of similar age couldn't help but speak.
"Jiuzhou Automobile, Mr. Xu is really awesome!"
"It is indeed the company that Lao Zhou has been looking forward to. We have often heard news about the Jiuzhou Automobile Factory this year."
"Such an enterprise deserves strong official help. We are right this time!"
"By the way, Kyushu Motors was on CCTV news before. You have to thank us for this!"
Xu Yifan chuckled and said: "Oh haha, that's natural. We invite everyone to have dinner in our cafeteria at noon!"
"To my liking!"
A few people joked for a while, and Xu Yifan asked again: "By the way, leader, what about the new energy subsidies you mentioned last year?"
"Young man, don't worry, let's take another look."
The old man shook his head and gave it up, then looked towards the direction of the factory and sighed.
"Jiuzhou Auto has changed so much! It's at least half as big as when I came last year. It's great for young people to be motivated. The same goes for this company, which is as vigorous as the sun in the morning."
"We are very much looking forward to Kyushu Auto becoming the backbone of our Chinese automobile manufacturing industry in the near future."
"By the way, what kind of factory is that next door?"
"That's a steel smelting plant, this isn't a materials laboratory where something good comes out by chance.
A new type of steel is two to three times harder than ordinary car body materials, but the corresponding weight is about twice as heavy as ordinary car steel of the same volume.
Although it will sacrifice part of the car's energy consumption ratio, I think safety is more important. In preparation for the next Kyushu Motors, most of the body parts will use this steel to create Kyushu Motors' safety concept. "
"High-strength steel, this is a good thing!"
"I have heard before that the steel used in these Kyushu Motors models is somewhat special, and the body weight is heavier than that of ordinary cars. I will have to take a closer look later!"
After everyone came out of the super car factory, they walked into the steel factory.
After a careful inspection, the group of people came out of the steel factory. On the way to the next target, the group of people around Chen Qianjun couldn't help but sigh.
"There are so many good things from Jiuzhou Automobile Factory!"
"This time we came to the right place. Not only did we see the advanced automobile manufacturing industry, but also China's future new energy vehicles, as well as the manufacturing of basic materials."
"Such steel may not only be used in automobiles..."
Steel, as a basic material, is used in various industrial equipment, and its importance is self-evident.
After sighing for a few words, one of the old men said to Xu Yifan: "Steel with such strength is of great use in various industries and equipment manufacturing.
It's a pity that the current output is too small. Mr. Xu, are you interested in expanding the scale of this steel plant? "
The people next to me also thought thoughtfully: "Perhaps, there will be great uses in the manufacture of some equipment later!"
"Can the government allocate funds to expand production capacity?" Speaking of this, Xu Yifan is not sleepy!
An old man thought for a while and replied: "We have to go back and discuss this. The problem shouldn't be big, and we won't have to wait too long."
"But I definitely can't give you the money for free. I have to get some samples to test first.
If there are no problems, we can go through the shipyard's accounts and order a batch of high-strength steel from the Jiuzhou Automobile Factory to support the expansion of steel production.
As for raw materials, if you need anything, you can contact us. Special circumstances must be treated specially. "
"No problem!" Xu Yifan smiled happily. Looking at this situation, he will have a lot of income!
After answering, Xu Yifan had a slight thought in his mind. For the production of equipment, the strength of this kind of steel is completely sufficient. What will it be used to make?
From the existing Jiuzhou automobile factory, to the sodium-ion battery factory still under construction, to the engine production plant and so on.
Xu Yifan and several company executives led everyone to inspect them one by one.
Even Jiuzhou Automobile Factory, a group of people have carefully experienced several existing car models.
I got on the car and took a ride, and drove it myself. I was full of praise for several Kyushu cars.
"These cars from Kyushu Motors are really good. They look great and have very strong power and performance!"
"Speaking of which, the latest news seems to be that Kyushu Suzaku has exceeded four minutes and fifty seconds, which is faster than the vehicles of those major international car companies."
"In terms of power performance, safety, appearance and interior, they are already better than those joint venture models."
"With companies like Jiuzhou Automobile Factory here, China's automobile industry will develop rapidly!"
Several old people caught Jiuzhou Auto and praised him.
After a while, Mr. Zhou said: "Okay, now we can talk about subsidies.
The intensity of the subsidy this time is greater than we expected before. It is also Jiuzhou Automobile that allows us to see the possibility of new energy vehicles surpassing fuel vehicles in the short term.
This is a document that has been clearly implemented. Mr. Xu, please take a look. "
Xu Yifan took the not particularly thick document from the old man's hand.
Cover, white text on a blue background.
"Notice on Continuing the Promotion and Application of New Energy Vehicles (Cai Jian [2010] No. 551)"
Open the file and see the details.
In order to speed up the development of the new energy vehicle industry, promote energy conservation and emission reduction, and promote air pollution control, it was submitted to the State Council for approval.
From 2010 to 2013, we continued to promote the application of new energy vehicles. The relevant subsidy policies are now notified as follows:
1. Relying on urban promotion and application of new energy vehicles:
(one). . . . .
(2) Demonstration cities or regions must meet the following conditions:
1. From 2010 to 2013, the cumulative promotion volume of new energy vehicles in extra-large cities or key regions shall not be less than 10,000 vehicles, and the cumulative promotion volume in other cities or regions shall not be less than 5,000 vehicles.
2. The number of foreign brands among the vehicles promoted and applied shall not be less than 30%, and obstacles shall not be set up or disguised to restrict the purchase of foreign brand vehicles.
3. Vehicle procurement in government agencies, public institutions and other fields should be tilted towards new energy vehicles, and the proportion of new energy vehicles in newly added or updated public transportation, official, logistics and environmental sanitation vehicles should not be less than 30%.
4. . . .
5. . . .
2. Provide subsidies for consumers to purchase new energy vehicles.
3. Provide financial incentives for the construction of charging facilities in model cities.
The finance department will arrange funds to provide comprehensive rewards to demonstration cities, and the reward funds will be mainly used for the construction of charging facilities and other aspects. Specific reward methods and standards will be formulated separately.
Several pages were filled with densely packed projects. In addition to the cities and projects being subsidized, etc., when turning to the back of the document, Xu Yifan also saw the specific subsidy standards.
1. Subsidy standards for the promotion and application of pure electric passenger cars and plug-in hybrid (including extended-range) passenger cars (unit: 10,000 yuan/vehicle)
Vehicle Type:
For pure electric passenger cars with a pure electric range of more than 80 kilometers and less than 150 kilometers, a subsidy of 35,000 is provided.
Pure electric passenger cars with a pure electric range of more than 150 kilometers but less than 250 kilometers will receive a subsidy of 50,000 yuan per unit.
Pure electric passenger cars with a pure electric range of more than 250 kilometers and less than 400 kilometers will receive a subsidy of 65,000 yuan per unit.
Pure electric passenger cars with a pure electric range of more than 400 kilometers will receive a subsidy of 70,000 yuan per unit, and those with a pure electric range of more than 500 kilometers will receive a subsidy of 80,000 yuan.
Plug-in hybrid, with a pure electric range of more than 50 kilometers, a subsidy of 35,000 yuan per unit. . . . .
2. Subsidy standards for the promotion and application of pure electric buses and plug-in hybrid (including extended-range) buses (unit: 10,000 yuan/vehicle)
For pure electric buses, the length of the bus is more than six meters and less than eight meters, and the subsidy is 300,000 yuan per unit.
Pure electric buses with a length of more than eight meters but less than ten meters will receive a subsidy of 400,000 yuan per unit.
A pure electric bus with a length of more than ten meters will receive a subsidy of 500,000 yuan per unit.
A subsidy of 250,000 yuan is given for plug-in hybrid buses (including extended-range buses) with a length of more than 10 meters.
In addition: a fixed subsidy of 150,000 yuan for pure electric buses with supercapacitor, sodium ion fast charging, and lithium iron phosphate fast charging.
3. Subsidy standards for the promotion and application of pure electric special vehicles (mainly: postal service, logistics, sanitation, etc.): a subsidy of 2,000 yuan per kilowatt-hour of battery capacity, and the total subsidy for each vehicle shall not exceed 150,000 yuan.
In the catalog, various subsidies ranged from tens to hundreds of thousands at every turn, which made those who read it feel frightened.
This is real money, lots and lots of money!
After Xu Yifan took a brief look at it, he understood the desperate car companies.
In the future, there will be some companies that cheat on subsidies, also because they give too much.
A direct subsidy of 500,000 yuan for pure electric buses over ten meters tall is simply scary!
Seeing this subsidy, Xu Yifan thought of the news he had seen before.
GMC Bus Company defrauded a total of 260 million yuan by fabricating false production and sales business by fabricating false raw materials and vouchers for material procurement, vehicle production and sales, uploading false certificates of conformity, and illegally applying for motor vehicle driving licenses.
In addition, there are King Long United Automotive Industry, Wuzhoulong Automobile Co., Ltd., Shaolin Bus Co., Ltd., and Chery Wanda Bus Co., Ltd., with more than 500 million and some with tens of millions.
Even these are just the tip of the iceberg.
However, there are pros and cons. It is also because of such strong subsidies that we can create a soil suitable for new energy vehicles to survive.
Although there are moths, it also feeds the upstream and downstream industrial chains of electric vehicles, drives the rapid development of battery technology, and supports outstanding electric vehicle companies such as BYD.
I saw Xu Yifan looking thoughtful after reading the entire new energy subsidy policy.
The old man asked Xu Yifan: "By the way, Mr. Xu, I wonder if Jiuzhou Automobile Factory has the idea of manufacturing pure electric buses.
In terms of passenger cars, the official support can be limited, but for commercial vehicles, it can help in more places. City buses, buses that travel between cities, etc. will be more suitable. "
Xu Yifan thought for a while, nodded seriously and said: "There are new energy buses, of course there is no problem!"
Even if you don’t have it now, you can have it in a while.
Even if the researchers at the Automobile R&D Center work overtime and spend money on bus technology, they must produce Kyushu Motors' commercial vehicles as quickly as possible!
This is all wasted money!
The old man smiled and said: "Oh, it's great if there is such a thing. I look forward to taking a ride on the new energy bus produced by Jiuzhou Automobile next time I go to Jiuzhou Automobile.
We also hope to see that starting from Xichuan Province, Kyushu Motor’s commercial vehicles can occupy more markets.
Of course, we can do our best in this regard to help Jiuzhou Automobile sell various models, as long as Jiuzhou Automobile's product quality is excellent. "
Compared with those car companies that have not yet risen or even been established, the current Jiuzhou Automobile is the main purpose of this subsidy.
Help Jiuzhou Automobile develop as quickly as possible.
If it were not for the fact that eggs cannot be put in one basket, it would be better if more than one company could support the big market of China. Officials would even want to subsidize Kyushu Auto alone.
Jiuzhou Automobile is the new energy vehicle company with the best technology in China today.
Not only does it have its own core battery technology, but it also has proven Suzaku motor and controller technology. Today, it has also seen progress in vehicle production and manufacturing.
In addition to the fact that the sales volume is not particularly good due to the market, inconvenient charging and other reasons, Jiuzhou Automobile has far surpassed other domestic car companies and is far ahead of the same type of car companies in terms of new energy vehicles.
Moreover, Jiuzhou Automobile has been developing at a rapid pace in the past two years, and its future prospects are limitless!
For such enterprises, the government will of course provide strong assistance. As long as they can produce products, they will help sell them wherever they can!
If new energy subsidies don't come, they will be very powerful subsidies. They will even clearly favor Kyushu Automobile and provide some greater help!
