In the morning, many presidents and directors of car companies briefly visited the current Jiuzhou Automobile Factory, focusing on the automobile research and development center.
At noon, I had a simple meal in the canteen of Jiuzhou Automobile Factory. Naturally, I was full of praise for the food of Jiuzhou Automobile Factory.
It was not until two o'clock in the afternoon that the management of all large and small car companies who had received invitations from Kyushu Automobile had arrived, and this small product launch officially began.
On the open space of the Comprehensive Automobile R&D Center, a small exhibition stand has been simply built, and nearly two hundred stools have been placed.
According to the guidelines, the senior executives of each company took their seats one by one.
The seating area for the management of Chery Company, the seating area for the management of Changan Automobile, the seating area for Lifan Automobile, the upper-level seating area for Volkswagen, and the upper-level seating area for Citroën. . . . .
Almost all domestic car companies, large and small, are here, and international car companies are also here, including several well-known car companies!
At the same time, in addition to the senior executives of these car companies, there are also media reporters who are carrying long guns and short guns.
Sina News reporters, Sohu News reporters, Tencent News reporters, NetEase News reporters, as well as traditional Xichuan News reporters, and even CCTV reporters!
The two hundred seats were fully occupied, and some temporary seats were added.
Today is different from the past. As the influence of Kyushu Automobile Factory grows, it is no longer the past. Even if you want to hold a product launch conference, no one will pay attention and there will be no scene of domestic journalists arriving.
At that time, they could only entertain themselves. The managers in the factory, plus the occasional dealers who passed by, and Chen Qianjun, who often had a meal, the most the media could do was simply report on the city's news.
Xu Yifan, who was standing in the corner of the product launch conference and witnessed the first official launch of Kyushu Motors, was a little sad at the lively scene in front of him.
Thinking back to last year, Jiuzhou Automobile transformed from an old car manufacturer to a car manufacturer, and was disliked by almost everyone.
He was like a clown at the car show, looked down upon by everyone, and even encountered cynicism on the Internet.
Electric cars are not favored by everyone, so how can a small company build a good car?
But now, in less than a year, Kyushu Motors has proven its car-making capabilities, coupled with official support for new energy electric vehicles.
Two levels of reversal!
"Now, Jiuzhou Auto's product launches have attracted the attention of these car companies in the same industry, as well as major domestic car companies."
Xu Yifan sighed softly and sat down in the seat belonging to Kyushu Automobile employees.
The time soon came to two o'clock in the afternoon.
While the executives of many car companies were waiting, the press conference officially began.
There was no opening performance, no welcome ceremony, just a young man under thirty years old walked up.
"Hello everyone, I am Ye Zhiyong, president of Jiuzhou Technology. Welcome everyone to the Jiuzhou Automobile Factory to participate in this product launch conference organized by Jiuzhou Technology Company."
The sound was transmitted through the lapel microphone to the speaker and then to the entire press conference, so that everyone present could hear it clearly.
Facing the senior executives of many companies in the audience, the young CEO of Jiuzhou Technology spoke calmly and calmly.
"In this new product launch conference, Jiuzhou Technology did not launch many new products. There was only a new motor and supporting control system. I will briefly explain the parameters and performance of this motor."
While Ye Zhiyong was talking, a Jiuzhou Automobile employee came up with a small cart. What was held up by a steel frame on the cart was a car motor and a boxy, tightly covered Intelligent control system.
"Everyone should already know the name of this motor. It's called Jinwu."
While Ye Zhiyong was explaining, various flashlights were already on, taking pictures of the motor controller on the cart and the young man on the stage.
Ye Zhiyong turned a blind eye to the flashbulbs of the media and continued his work.
With his palms facing the products around him, Ye Zhiyong raised his voice and continued to introduce.
"Jinwu Motor is positioned as a lower-end electric vehicle power system."
"However, being low-end does not mean that its power performance is insufficient. The Jinwu motor is a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a motor power of 168kw, a torque of 271nm, and a maximum horsepower of 249 horses."
"Perhaps compared to the Suzaku Motor, the power performance is still a bit weaker, but compared to a fuel vehicle, this power performance is enough to meet the daily needs of a family car."
"It is paired with an electronic continuously variable transmission independently developed by Kyushu Motors, which is quick and sensitive."
Ordinary people who don't know much about cars may not be impressed by such parameter performance after hearing about it.
But the people present were all senior executives of some car companies. They have to deal with cars every day, so they naturally understand the power of them.
The most basic thing is to compare it with a fuel vehicle with similar power performance.
The 2011 Honda Accord has a 2.4L displacement and a guide price of 250,000. The engine has a maximum power of 132, a maximum torque of 225, and a maximum horsepower of 179 horses.
The 2011 Ford Focus has a 2.0L displacement, a guide price of 150,000, an engine with a maximum power of 104, a maximum torque of 180, and a maximum horsepower of 141 horses.
The 2010 Volkswagen Golf GTI, with a guide price of 240,000, is equipped with a 2.0T high-power engine with a maximum power of 147, a maximum torque of 280 twist, and a maximum horsepower of 200 horses.
The 2011 BMW 3 Series 318i takes the lead, with a 2.0 displacement, a guide price of 296,000, an engine with a maximum power of 100, a maximum torque of 180, and a maximum horsepower of 136 horses.
Compared with ordinary mainstream models priced at RMB 200,000 to RMB 300,000, this motor outperforms those joint venture cars in terms of power performance.
The expressions of some of the car company executives below changed slightly.
Fortunately, domestic car companies, even Chery Automobile, have not yet caught up in engine technology, and have long been accustomed to other car companies having better engine power.
And with the Suzaku motor at the forefront, no one will think that Kyushu Motors is bragging. It can produce more powerful Suzakus, and its power performance and product quality are guaranteed. There will definitely be no problem with the slightly inferior Jinwu.
The power performance of this slightly weaker Jinwu motor is acceptable and expected.
"I don't know how much a motor like this will sell to us as a component. If the price is tens of thousands of yuan per set, it will be relatively good."
"The power and performance of the manufactured vehicles are comparable to those joint venture models costing RMB 500,000 to RMB 600,000."
“If the models of our car companies are equipped with this motor, there will no longer be heart problems.
"Although it is still worse than the Suzaku motor, the power performance is very sufficient."
"As long as the price is more affordable, it will be perfect. It may even be more suitable for current domestic car companies than manufacturing fuel vehicles."
"Engine technology is lagging behind, but in terms of motor technology, Kyushu Automobile is now the number one company in the world!"
“Coupled with subsidies for new energy vehicles, it’s very promising!”
Compared with the senior executives of domestic car companies, they are slightly excited about the procurement of Jinwu motor power system.
The faces of the executives of several joint venture car companies with their own engine technology are not very good.
The Chinese CEO of Volkswagen murmured: “This Jinwu motor is almost the same as their 2011 Audi A4L with a guide price of 580,000.
The top version of the six-cylinder 3.2L displacement engine has a maximum engine power of 195, a maximum torque of 330, and a maximum horsepower of 265 horsepower.
It is comparable to this high-end model! "
"If all the car companies in China use such motors and build a good environment for the use of electric vehicles, it may be difficult to sell fuel vehicles."
When he said this, the Volkswagen executive also looked at the surrounding Chinese car company executives who looked obviously excited.
A senior executive of Citroen Automobile Company: "The six-cylinder engine is more powerful than the Citroen C6 that our car company imported two years ago with a guide price of 640,000."
“Maybe the future will be dominated by new energy electric vehicles?!”
Just a simple parameter attracted the attention of many people present.
This is not the end yet. Ye Zhiyong on the field continued: "The parameter just now is the power of a single motor. If dual motors at the front and rear are used, the power performance can be further improved!"
Even though matching and tuning may result in a certain loss of power performance, with the support of dual motors, a fuel vehicle with a price tag of less than one million yuan will be far inferior to an electric vehicle!
With the electric heart of Kyushu Motors, domestic car companies will no longer be able to only manufacture low-end models, and the power system problems of high-end models will be solved!
What's more, there are higher-end Suzaku motors, and the power performance will only be more violent.
Senior executives of domestic car companies are beaming.
Changan Automobile executives: "Today's trip is definitely the right one!"
Zotye Motors: “We have the ability to build good-looking and luxurious cars, including engines and gearboxes.
It can only use technology that is far behind the times. Not only is it expensive to purchase, but it also has many problems, consumes more fuel, and has weak power.
Especially when it comes to engine and gearbox problems, we also want to use good products that are durable and fuel-efficient to make consumers more satisfied! "
It is a pity that the latest engines of international car companies, such as Volkswagen, Toyota, Honda, etc., will not be easily sold to these domestic car companies.
Lifan Motors: “I think our company can purchase fewer engines and use more motors from Kyushu Motors next.
The power performance is better and the cost of using the car is lower. Even if the price is more expensive, consumers will accept it.
At least it's much better than the old engine technology used before.
The only question now is how much does this Jinwu motor cost? Is there any warranty or replacement? I can’t wait to know! "
