In the past two years, new energy vehicles have stood in an absolute outlet position, and many parties from market demand and policy support have brought China's new energy vehicles to the next turning point.
Change is coming, and new energy vehicles are on the eve of the blowout
In the process of reshaping the automotive industry, the addition of digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and 5G, as well as the trend of intelligence and networking, have given the industry a new ability to change. In this context, "Wei Xiaoli" took the lead in smelling the opportunities of the times and seized a wave of new energy market, but the cake of new energy vehicles is far more than what we see in front of our eyes.
How vast is the future of new energy vehicles? Let's look at China, the world's largest automobile consumer market, and in 2020, domestic automobile sales reached 25.311 million units. It is worth mentioning that the number of mainland cars per thousand people is less than 200, and there is still a lot of room for increment compared with the level of 500-800 vehicles in developed countries. According to the data of the Association, from January to November 2021, the sales volume of self-owned brand vehicles reached 7.349 million units, an increase of 22.9% year-on-year, and the market share of independent brands increased from 35.7% last year to 40.7%, of which the impact of electrification and networking was indispensable.
In the technology-led industry changes, there are always excellent enterprises that stand out. Tesla has created a myth that its market value exceeds the sum of several traditional car companies with a first-mover advantage in the field of electric vehicles. However, at present, the technological change and innovation of pure electric vehicles are still happening, and Xilis, which takes the extended range electric vehicle as the direction of power, is one of the "seed players". Range extended electric vehicles solve charging anxiety and endurance problems, while also balancing economy and power.
In such a complex industrial product as an automobile, mastering the core technology is crucial. In the new energy technology competition, Xilis started not too late, self-proclaimed new energy technology self-sustainer Xilis, in research and development and manufacturing invested a lot of resources, since its establishment in 2016, Xilis has mastered more than 1,000 new energy related patented technologies, is one of the few domestic independent mastery of three electric technology of new energy vehicle companies, and in the range of technology is quite accomplished. It is reported that the current proportion of Cyrus R & D personnel is more than 40%, forming a deep technical reserve, and the Chongqing Liangjiang Smart Factory built with Industry 4.0 standards provides a high-standard guarantee for technological transformation, which is the foundation of Cyrus competition in the field of new energy.
Take the initiative to seek changes, cross-border cooperation to enhance competitiveness
If Xilix's own leading technical reserves are the cost of its entry into the high-end new energy market, then the in-depth cooperation with Huawei gives Xilis a differentiated competitive advantage. At present, the high-end new energy market is competing for hundreds of schools, and Xilisi has accurately targeted the outlet of smart cars, empowered each other with Huawei, and strongly released the high-end smart car brand AITO. Xu Lin, president of Cyrus (rotation), said: "Based on smart cars, Adding Intelligence to Auto. This is not only the brand slogan of AITO, but also highlights the original intention of AITO to bring intelligent experience to users. ”
Huawei's advanced ICT technology and smart car solutions will help AITO bring consumers the ultimate and intelligent travel experience. Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei, CEO of Consumer BG, and CEO of Smart Vehicle Solutions BU, said: "Huawei and Xilis cooperate very deeply, and aito asks M5 for vehicle research and development, vehicle manufacturing and industrial production, which is the responsibility of Xilis, Huawei does not build cars, huawei's role is to help and help car companies build good cars." Empower product styling, brand marketing and sales channels. ”
Specific to the first product of the AITO brand, the AITO M5 is the first model to carry the new HarmonyOS smart cockpit. HarmonyOS smart cockpit breaks the information gap between different devices, so that the vehicle is no longer an island, but a super terminal that can seamlessly circulate with people, mobile phones, smart homes, smart watches, etc., truly realizing the convenience of all things connected by cars.
As a new energy vehicle, the AITO M5 retains the essence of HarmonyOS' UX design on Huawei's mobile phones and tablets, and its fluency is comparable to that of mobile phones, while taking into account driving safety and operation efficiency, it reconstructs the interaction between people and cars in the era of intelligent cars. Hongmeng car machine system can achieve up to 60 seconds of continuous dialogue, without fear of interjection interruptions and invalid instructions, and other car machine systems immediately open the gap, can be arranged 2 tasks in a sentence, can also clearly identify the instructions from the main driver, co-driver, rear row. With the distributed technical support of HarmonyOS, we only need to carry a Huawei watch or Huawei mobile phone with us, and we can enter the vehicle and the car for seamless circulation. In addition, there are many black technology functions to help Q&I M5 create a smart space, such as creative functions such as Carlog car life recording artifact and car sense payment, which make AITO Q&I M5 successfully incarnate into a mobile smart terminal.
To solve the anxiety, AITO asked the M5 to complete the breakthrough
On December 23, 2021, aito brand's first new car, the Q&I M5, was officially released and opened for pre-sale, for models in the price range of 250,000-320,000 yuan, Q&E M5 can meet the user's sense of need both from the core capability and luxury experience.
As we all know, although the pure electric vehicle performance is strong, but the charging anxiety and endurance problems have always been a problem in the minds of consumers, AITO Q&A M5 is based on the pure electric drive extended range platform (DE-i) to create, the intelligent generator set, drive technology, battery PACK, intelligent control technology for optimization and integration. Among them, the 1.5T four-cylinder range extender specially built by Xilis for the range extender has a compression ratio of up to 15:1, and has an ultra-high thermal efficiency of 41%, and the oil-electricity conversion rate can reach 3.2kW·h/L, which is a significant leading industry average, which also makes the WLTC range of the AITO Boundary M5 exceed 1100 kilometers. As a daily commuter car, the 40kW·h battery pack equipped with aito M5 has a pure electric endurance performance of 150 kilometers of WLTC working conditions, and it takes only 45 minutes for fast charging to increase the power from 20% to 80%, plus the flexible energy replenishment method of oil and electricity, making this car completely bid farewell to battery life and charging anxiety.
Not only that, the strength of the AITO Q&I M5 is also that its front axle is equipped with an asynchronous AC motor, and the rear axle is equipped with a dual-motor four-wheel drive scheme composed of permanent magnet synchronous motors, and the total power of the four-wheel drive flagship model can reach 365kW, the acceleration of 100 kilometers is only 4.4 seconds, and the acceleration of 0-50km/h is even lower to a staggering 1.9 seconds. That is to say, long endurance and high performance can be combined in this car, which may be the entry point for it to open the market.
At the same time, the AITO M5 uses an all-aluminum alloy chassis, which has a lighter mass than the steel chassis, and also lays a good foundation for better handling. In the suspension construction, the AITO Boundary M5 adopts the front double wishbones + rear trapezoidal multi-link independent suspension, although the cost is higher, so that the body can maintain better driving stability in different driving conditions. In addition, the vehicle is equipped with high-performance tires of the Pirelli P-Zero series and the Bosch iBooster intelligent braking system. It allows the vehicle to firmly grasp the ground when moving at high speeds, as well as efficient braking. Combined with the strong power output, even when entering the track, it has a good performance.
In the creation of a luxurious atmosphere, AITO Q&I M5 is equipped with a 10.4-inch curved full LCD instrument panel and a 15.6-inch 2K HDR intelligent central control large screen, the central control large screen has a 16:9 ultra-narrow bezel design, and the overall design makes the cockpit full of technology. With the 128 colors of intelligent atmosphere lights in the car, about 2.1 square meters of panoramic canopy, ICAS intelligent cleaning cockpit system and other functions to create a comfortable and healthy environment, and then through the seat with massage and ventilation heating function, HUAWEI SOUND professional audio to provide high-quality music, from the visual, auditory, smell and touch and other dimensions, with the power of science and technology to define the new concept of car luxury.
The AITO brand is the crystallization of the in-depth cooperation between Xilix and Huawei, and the two sides have cooperated in the whole chain of research and development, manufacturing, quality control, and sales, setting a model for innovative cooperation between automobile companies and technology companies. AiTO brand aims to develop smart cars, with "people" as the core, build an active service-oriented smart car ecology, and create a smart mobile life, which is the core that distinguishes it from other car companies, and also makes AITO Q&A M5 have a unique competitiveness. If the industry outlet is the time of day, and huawei's strong combination is geographical advantage, Xilis's own technology and prejudgment of the new track of smart cars are people, and the AITO M5 bred by therefore will surely bring differentiated selling points and new vitality to the new energy market.
