With the upgrading of consumption and the maturity of consumer groups, consumers have put forward higher requirements for product quality, but few consumers can realize that vehicle anti-corrosion technology and safety are closely related. According to third-party platform data collected by the Defective Product Management Center of the State Administration for Market Regulation, the number of automobile corrosion complaints has reached more than 13,000 in recent years.
In the face of consumers concerned about the corrosion resistance and anti-aging problems of vehicles, Jihu Automobile attaches great importance to it, not only doing the basic skills of "anti-corrosion" in advance, but also controlling product quality in other safety aspects with requirements that exceed the national standard and line standard, and creating a "platinum-level" safety concept of Jihu Automobile.
Recently, the Polar Fox Alpha S, which integrates advanced technology, has won the first batch of platinum grade certificates for the corrosion resistance test evaluation of the whole vehicle in the CA-CAP test evaluation by virtue of its excellent performance in corrosion resistance, which has been recognized by authoritative institutions and provided consumers with benchmark safety samples.

Consolidate the basic skills of anti-corrosion and achieve a reliable "safe product"
Corrosion is a kind of destruction that is carried out quietly, but the harm is very terrible, not only directly shortening the service life of the material, triggering consumer complaints, but also leading to a large number of recalls. According to the recall information released by the Defective Product Management Center of the State Administration for Market Regulation, the recalls caused by corrosion problems have reached 134, involving more than 7.81 million cars, 54 brands and more than 100 models. Current ownership estimates mean that about 1 in every 37 cars are recalled due to corrosion problems.
When the corrosion is serious, it will even cause safety performance failures, threatening the safety of the lives and property of the drivers and passengers. According to statistics, 91.3% of automotive corrosion recalls are due to corrosion caused by serious safety performance failures. Just last week, Toyota recalled nearly 900,000 vehicles in China due to safety hazards due to the potential for internal components of engine exhaust gas recirculation valves (EGR valves) that could be corroded by higher concentrations of chlorine in fuel.
Corrosion problems have always plagued and threatened consumers. For them, a corrosion-resistant, anti-aging model undoubtedly installs a long-term effective safety lock for travel. If you can know in advance whether the vehicle is resistant to corrosion, you can avoid this risk. The Polar Fox Alpha S is a safe and durable model that has been recognized by authoritative institutions and users, and is a "safety item" that can be trusted.
On December 9, in the test results of China's automobile corrosion resistance and aging performance evaluation (CA-CAP), the Polar Fox Alpha S won the first batch of vehicle corrosion resistance test evaluation platinum grade certificate with a score of 92.3 points, becoming the only B-class model to obtain a platinum grade certificate.

It is reported that CA-CAP is organized by the China Consumer Goods Quality and Safety Promotion Association under the State Administration of Quality Supervision, and only the evaluation vehicle with a rating result of 5 stars or more is eligible for the platinum grade certificate. Of the 107 models tested in total from 2016 to 2021, only 11 achieved a 5-star rating. This year, among the 12 models participating in the evaluation, only two models, including the Polar Fox Alpha S, have obtained the platinum grade certificate of the vehicle corrosion resistance test, which can be seen in its gold content.
In fact, the Polar Fox Alpha S not only has to accept the test of road conditions similar to the daily encounter with gravel roads, uneven washboard roads, highways, salt water tanks, etc., but also continues to park in the more stringent salt spray cabin and high temperature and high humidity environment cabin. In the end, the corrosive appearance, functional evaluation and coating scratch evaluation of the Polar Fox Alpha S were excellent, especially in the four doors and two covers, battery housing, chassis suspension, coating scratch diffusion control and other aspects of consumer concern, all of which were at a good level, and obtained 5-star evaluation.

Chen Shanghua, deputy general manager of BAIC BJEV, said: "The fact that Jihu Alpha S was able to win the award shows that Jihu Alpha S has been recognized by the China Consumer Goods Quality and Safety Promotion Association and has proved its quality with its achievements. ”
Worry about users first, play a "preventive shot" for hidden dangers in advance
The reason why Polar Fox Alpha S was able to obtain recognition in the CA-CAP test and collect the platinum grade certificate is because Extreme Fox Automobile always puts consumers in mind, puts consumers' concerns in mind, and effectively predicts and solves possible problems in action, so as to put a "preventive shot" for hidden dangers in advance.
Aware of the troubles and safety threats that corrosiveness brings to consumers, Polar Fox Alpha S has done a lot of work before leaving the factory. Not only a large number of double-sided hot-dip pure zinc steel plate, ultra-high swimming penetration of electrophoretic coatings, anti-stone impact PVC, weld sealant, structural glue and other corrosion-resistant materials, but also the structure of a reasonable dry and wet area, in the bottom of the body a large number of application of cavity anti-corrosion wax, etc., from the selection of materials to the process, comprehensively improve the anti-corrosion ability of the vehicle.
Polar Fox Alpha S has done enough "anti-corrosion" basic skills before leaving the factory
Among them, the Enviro-Prime 8000 ultra-high penetration electrophoresis paint selected by Polar Fox Alpha S makes the body have a sufficiently thick and complete electrophoretic paint film inside and outside the body, and the high permeability electrophoresis paint is combined with a reasonable process hole design, so that the thickness of the body electrophoresis paint reaches 20um and the inner cavity is 12um, which is the industry-leading level. In addition to the basic anti-corrosion ability, the film thickness of the double-sided hot-dip pure zinc steel coating reaches about 10um, and the dense oxide layer is formed after zinc corrosion oxidation, which can effectively block the further occurrence of corrosion.
For users in the north, winter vehicles have to be in close contact with the snow, in addition to being eroded by the rain and snow itself, snow melting agent is also a presence that cannot be ignored. In particular, inferior snow melting agents often use chlorine salt as the main component, and its adsorption on the body will lead to the separation of body steel and anti-corrosion layer, which will bring great corrosion to the vehicle, especially to the tire and chassis. At the beginning of the design, the Polar Fox Alpha S considered various weather conditions, and applied a large number of cavity anti-corrosion waxes to the bottom of the car in advance, effectively isolating the erosion of corrosive media on the inner cavity of the bottom of the car. At the same time, the use of stone-resistant PVC, weld sealant and structural adhesive also ensures the ability of the vehicle to wear rust without functional failure for a long time.

It is precisely with solid anti-corrosion basic skills and a full range of protective measures that Jihu Alpha S can successfully withstand the "devil test" of 60 vehicle strengthening corrosion test cycles in the entire test of CA-CAP, bringing users safe and reliable product quality.
Elevated floors for safety Forged with superior industry standards
There is no safest, only safer. National standards and line standards are the unified requirements of the state and the industry for enterprises, and products can only be put on the market if they meet the standards. However, the goal of Jihu Automobile has never been to meet the standards so simple, but to strictly demand itself with higher standards that exceed the national standard and line standards, and bring users cross-level quality.
Polar Fox Alpha S obtained CA-CAP Platinum Grade Certificate, which is a microcosm of Pole Fox Automobile's safety system layout. At present, Jihu Automobile has made breakthroughs in ultra-high standards in vehicle testing and collisions, and has participated in the formulation of some automotive safety standards.

For example, in terms of battery safety that consumers are most concerned about, the national standard humidity and heat cycle test cycle cycle is 3 days, but Jihu Automobile should do more than 10 years of high temperature and high humidity cycle test, and more than 8 months of alternating test under full use temperature conditions to ensure that the power battery system adapts to the use of the environment across the country. At the same time, the Polar Fox battery pack meets the IP68, realizes 8h dust test power battery system does not enter foreign matter inside, soaks in 1m water depth environment for up to 24h without water, much higher than the national standard IP67 requirements in 1m water depth environment soaking 30min no water.
In addition to conventional automobile safety, the hidden dangers hidden in intelligent development should also be paid enough attention. According to data released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, there were as many as 2.8 million malicious attacks related to the Internet of Vehicles in China in 2020, and the risks of platform vulnerabilities, communication hijackings, and privacy leaks were more severe. In order to improve the three-dimensional security protection of the intelligent experience, Jihu Automobile adopts the "cloud pipe end" information security defense-in-depth system to bring users a full range of "financial grade" information security inside and outside the vehicle. It is reported that Jihu Automobile has passed the certification of China Automobile Yanhuacheng and obtained the first pure electric vehicle information security authority certification in China.
It is worth mentioning that Jihu Automobile and its parent company BAIC Group actively participate in the renewal and iteration of the social evaluation system and the formulation of industry standards, contributing to the safety evaluation system. Among them, BAIC has participated in the formulation of information security standards at home and abroad, and has applied 24 vehicle information security programs and 15 enterprise standards. Jihu Automobile participated in the CNCAP Rule Upgrade Working Group and the CICSI Rule Upgrade Working Group, and put forward opinions and suggestions on the technical route of future rules.
From the Alpha S anti-corrosion to see the micro-knowledge of the Polar Fox car "platinum" safety concept
Starting from the needs of consumers, and constantly demanding themselves with higher standards, Jihu Auto always guards the safe travel of users. "In the future, Jihu Automobile will continue to make full efforts in places that consumers can't see but will affect the service life of vehicles, and bring consumers more safe, reliable and durable pure electric vehicles." Chen Shanghua said.
