It is said that "electrification" is the only way for the automobile industry to enter a new life. From Volkswagen and Daimler entering the war situation one after another, to Toyota and Honda hindsight, no one has doubted such a development direction anymore. The crazy offensive of Chinese car companies has made the global auto industry more and more engraved this view in the hearts of the people.
The future has come, and everything has begun to radiate outward around China. However, with the acceleration of the process of the new four modernizations, we still need to pay attention to the fact that in the context of the EV era, those sparks left by the centuries of automobile changes should not be easily abandoned. When everyone uses the network to deeply embed the word "intelligent" within the industry, attributes such as reliability and security also need to be adhered to.
Therefore, as a member of the new forces, the cooperation between Beiqi Blue Valley's high-end brand Jihu and top technology companies has not only endowed its products with powerful intelligent genes, but also made its accumulation in the field of new energy vehicles over the years shine with new advantages.
Just like the R&D pace of excellence in the development of the whole vehicle, the existence of intelligent manufacturing factories such as "Oriental Graz" seems to be the cornerstone of Jihu to show the world, but in fact, when Beiqi Blue Valley spent ten years to clear up the development ideas of China's new energy industry, we have every reason to regard these measures as a representative move to eliminate industrial impetuosity.
With the background of the development of the three-electric system required for high-end new energy vehicles, compared with other car companies that simply want to complete self-upgrading through external forces, Beiqi Blue Valley is looking forward to the fact that those enterprises with high standards in their respective fields can encourage them to promote the industry forward in the technical iteration logic they have created.
Mutual achievement with Magna
Since the development of new energy has become the driving force for China's auto industry to become self-reliant and self-reliant, from traditional car companies to new car-making forces emerging from all walks of life, in order to complete the transcendence of overseas enterprises as soon as possible, they have made great efforts. To this end, with the accelerated pace of electrification development, research related to intelligence has become the consensus of everyone.
On the surface, 2021 is the year that new energy vehicles began to enter the private market on a large scale. Under the "Wei Xiaoli", the low-end pure electric scooter led by Wuling and Chery is enough to illustrate this problem. However, when Tesla promoted the word "intelligent" to link with the development of the entire industry, the changeable concept of personal consumption almost forced the industry to avoid keeping up with the times.
Some people shouted that the development of automatic driving is the only way to promote the automotive industry to enter the new ecology, and the entire industrial chain will follow the linkage. From the major auto shows this year to the technology days of various car companies, the upgrade of the three electric systems has begun to become a supporting role, and the repeated appearance of terms such as voice interaction, automatic parking, and lidar has almost subverted everything in the past.
Like most companies, in order to complete this project, Beiqi Blue Valley has indeed chosen to cooperate with technology companies such as Huawei and Baidu. The launch of the new HI version of polar fox alpha S is based on this purpose.
However, even for the Polar Fox itself, is this the only way to face the future? The answer is also obvious, no.
Self-arming with "intelligence" has always been the icing on the cake. In the century-old history of automobile development, the key elements of the birth of a masterpiece should not be abandoned from those most fundamental attributes. Therefore, "safety", "practicality", and "durability", which have always been talked about in the past, need to be valued and grasped in this era of quick success.
Polar Fox BE21 pure electric exclusive platform
In the past year, compared with many car companies that regard sales as the only criterion for self-evaluation, Jihu is still working the precipitation of products and channels. In the first full year of the brand's growth, catering to market trends and advancing will only be one aspect, locking the essence of car development at the source, Jihu still has a "stubborn" side.
After concluding the relationship with Magna, it provides consumers with products with higher integration, superior performance, higher level of intelligence, longer mileage and lighter weight, and the birth of the first be21 pure electric platform with fully redundant architecture has given Jihu the confidence to compete with the new forces of car manufacturing. But you'd be wrong to think that you're working with Magna just because of that.
Magna's strength is the consensus of the industry.
The world's leading vehicle engineering manufacturer and service manufacturer, with more than 100 years of high-end automobile manufacturing experience and history, has manufactured more than 3.7 million luxury models. The Mercedes-Benz G-Class, Jaguar I-Pace, BMW Z4/Toyota Supra on sale were all born here.
Behind the birth of the Pole Fox, beiqi Blue Valley has accumulated rich experience in technological upgrading and market development in the development of new energy in the past ten years. This shows that beiqi Jihu has the original accumulation of entering the high-end new energy market, and the existence of Magna has made it complete the upgrading of the manufacturing end and the advancement of the process. Since the beginning of the cooperation, the two have adhered to the goal of mutual achievement.
Perhaps such a deeply grinding of internal strength of the initiative, will not be adopted by those start-ups, consumers can get the perception of this is not strong, but in today's electrification, such a polar fox is actually a car company with complete development strength should look like. Compared with other newcomers who want to directly use external forces to complete the curve overtaking, the inherent advantages of The Pole Fox, which has absolute technical control and system construction, are self-evident.
Qualitative change is the premise of quantitative change
In July 2019, BAIC Blue Valley signed an agreement with Magna and Zhenjiang Municipal Governments on THE relevant agreements of BAIC Magna's high-end new energy vehicle manufacturing base, and the three parties announced the joint establishment of a high-end new energy vehicle manufacturing joint venture.
Today, more than two years have passed since the construction of the Beiqi Blue Valley and Magna Manufacturing Joint Venture Company officially began. The vicissitudes of the market have indeed made everyone in it feel the crisis brought about by the rapid iteration of the industry. The market development of Polar Fox is also encountering more and more challenges under this surging trend.
On the one hand, new people are emerging, everyone is regarded as an "intelligent pioneer", and the increasingly impetuous development trend of the industry is bound to have an impact on those in the bureau. On the other hand, the so-called "user co-creation" and other new models have spawned, so that car companies at the beginning of research and development focus no longer on the mechanical literacy of the car, will it lay hidden dangers for the upgrading of automotive technology?
In other words, when indicators such as automatic driving and 100-kilometer acceleration performance become important factors affecting the level of prices under hardware redundancy, whether the iterative direction and criterion of "high-end electric vehicles" can still be unified is also slightly confused at this moment.
Indeed, at the beginning of the polar fox brand, when Magna's president of Asia and Europe, Ainde, led the European leadership team to test the extreme fox alpha T in all directions, he concluded: "ARCFOX Alpha T is definitely a high-end electric vehicle with real goods. "The outside world will always have doubts about such a pricey pure electric model."
But again, we first need to make it clear that Beiqi Blue Valley is a car company with a complete new energy vehicle manufacturing system.
Polar Fox Alpha T white body
When all the new car-making forces and traditional car companies are increasingly focusing on intelligence, the in-depth cooperation between Jihu and Magna will not be limited to the production and manufacturing end. Beiqi Blue Valley's previous achievements from the best products to the products, from the market to the word of mouth, will complete a new round of qualitative leaps in cooperation with Magna and other enterprises.
As in many contacts with the Polar Fox engineers, they repeatedly proposed that the white body of the Alpha series was a comprehensive leader in all aspects. Such remarks, although different from most of the new car-making forces of the peers, but in the face of the "high-end electric vehicles should not only talk about intelligence" this question, so, but more reference value.
In practice, it is precisely in the past decade of in-depth research on electric vehicles, in order to perfectly balance the double consideration of body lightweight and safety, Jihu Alpha T/ Alpha S chose to use steel and aluminum hybrid body design, which is as high as 50000Nm/deg and 63000Nm/deg body torsional stiffness, not only early than Weilai ES6 and other models, in the body structure of the most important A, B pillar and other core positions used in the thermoformed steel, which can withstand up to 15 tons of pressure per square centimeter , is also much higher than the industry average.
Moreover, just like the requirements of Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar and even Aston Martin, the reason why Polar Fox chose to hand over the manufacturing rights of the new car to Magna is nothing more than the latter's exquisite skills in the production and manufacturing system.
Magna Factory Concept production system in the Jihu Zhenjiang factory to achieve a perfect replica, the most important point is that from the process management to the quality system, and even the staff training and information communication mechanism, for the production of the Jihu Alpha car series to give the production of the Jihu Alpha car series the same quality assurance as the European luxury car convergence.
"Oriental Graz" is another name for the high-end intelligent manufacturing base of Magna in Beiqi Blue Valley. The name itself carries Magna's firm determination to land advanced manufacturing concepts in China.
Then, when Jihu deeply follows the system that comes from it, presumably all of this is enough to light up a light for the development of New Energy in China: on the road to building luxury electric vehicles, the connection between the "intelligence" that opens the future path and the traditional manufacturing system should not be cut off. After all, what the Pole Fox has to do is different from storytelling, the former, much more difficult.
At this stage, in China's new energy industry, it is difficult to find the next old new energy vehicle company that can qualify for contractual relations with Magna, Huawei and so on. This means that relying on the group's 10 years of new energy vehicle manufacturing technology, Jihu will undertake the strategic mission of Beiqi Blue Valley to fully enter the electrification and intelligent "double spiral", and at the same time, it is naturally its urgent responsibility to take China's new energy development away from impetuousness, from the source for itself, but also for the latecomers to clear the industrial context.
