I believe that many people have recently been surrounded by friends Amway "Beginning" this TV series, xiaobian I am the same, after being amway many times, finally still holding a rebellious psychology to try to watch it, originally thought that the story of two people in the car constantly looping dozens of minutes can be finished, how slow the pace of the TV series, must not be good, but in the end I did not escape the "true fragrance" law.
This drama is about the male and female protagonists who encounter an explosion on the bus, and then enter the "cycle" one after another, face the explosion again and again, and find a way to escape the story of the loop, which seems like a very simple story, but it makes me watch 13 episodes in one breath, and after watching "Beginning", I feel that the overall content is ups and downs and the rhythm is oppressive, very enjoyable.
The core of the whole drama is the word loop, because the setting of the loop makes the plot rhythm excellent, not only will there be no irritability of being forced to watch the water injection drama, but in the cycle again and again, the sense of immersion is full, and the sense of identity with each character is getting stronger and stronger.
Although I would like to continue to give you a look at this drama, as a car editor, I will eventually return to the content related to cars. As mentioned earlier, the core of the TV series "Beginning" is the word "loop", today Xiaobian will tell you about the cycle of the automotive industry, but this cycle is different from the event cycle in the TV series, but the material recycling.
The automotive industry has begun to pay attention to the recycling ability of products for more than 30 years, in these 30 years, relying on the promotion of environmentalists, increasingly stringent regulations and various price increases and scarcity of raw materials for automobile manufacturing in recent years, automakers have begun to make continuous efforts on the research road of material recycling, there has been a lot of progress, and even many car companies have reached a jaw-dropping point in the practical application of material recycling development.
Volvo
Volvo announced plans for renewable materials in 2018 and said that from 2025 onwards, at least 25% of the plastics used in all volvo's new cars will come from renewable materials, and in order to fulfill this promise, Volvo has even launched a limited edition of the new XC60 T8 plug-in hybrid model, which uses a lot of renewable plastics in the car.
For example, the console is made of recycled fibers and plastic from discarded fishing nets and nautical cables, the carpet on the floor contains fibers made of PET plastic bottles, as well as the renewable blend cotton material in the scraps of garment manufacturers, and the seats are also made of PET fibers from plastic bottles.
In addition, the acoustic cotton under the engine cover of the limited edition model is also made of the old seats of volvo cars used.
ford
Humans consume a lot of plastic bottles every day, and few people care about where they go after being thrown into the trash, while Ford is trying to use plastic bottles to make auto parts to achieve recycling of plastic bottles.
According to Ford's estimates, they plan to use an average of 300 recycled plastic bottles per vehicle, and about 1.2 billion plastic bottles per year, for the chassis armor of Ford SUVs and the rim linings made into Ford F-Series trucks.
This move can not only contribute to the environment, But also said that the use of recycled plastics can save costs for itself, but also make the car's chassis armor, engine guard, front and rear wheel arch lining lighter, but also improve the aerodynamics of the vehicle, to achieve better fuel saving effect, this wave of operation can be said to be mutually beneficial.
Bmw
Compared with the above car companies, BMW can be said to be a heavyweight in material recycling, and at the 2021 International Automobile and Smart Travel Exhibition, BMW Group released a BMW i cycle concept car designed based on the principle of "rethinking, re-refining, reusing and recycling".
The BMW i Cycle Concept reduces the complexity of vehicle design through digital design, reduces the use of materials, the appearance of the whole vehicle is not chrome, no border, no traditional column design, and even BMW's classic double kidney grille is also shown by digital animation.
What is even more amazing is that the vehicle is still made of 100% recycled materials and renewable recycled raw materials, such as the body is the use of renewable aluminum materials, and the light gold of the paint is obtained through anodized post-treatment, avoiding the use of paint. The tires are made of sustainable natural rubber, and the color of the tires is also the color of the added colored recycled rubber particles.
In addition, the main cabin structure materials of the BMW i Circulation Concept are all 3D printed, and the seat interior is also made of recycled plastic.
What makes people feel even more brain-opening is that the BMW i-loop concept car does not have a traditional dashboard, nor a central control screen in the traditional sense, but is replaced by a 3D printed crystal user interface, and its vehicle information will also be displayed through the projection of radiation, so that there is no need to use a glass screen.
There must be many readers who want to ask how this car is assembled together? When it comes to the point, the BMW i Cycle Concept's car assembly does not use welding, bonding or composite materials like ordinary cars, but uses recyclable materials such as ropes, snap buckles, and quick release fasteners. In order to be able to better recycle these materials, BMW has also created a platform called "Yuehe", supported by artificial intelligence, which can disassemble the whole vehicle into various parts with only a wrench.
These car companies in the application of material recycling on the road can be said to have gone quite far, car companies of material recycling production can not only play a certain protective role for the entire world environment, save non-renewable resources in nature, to achieve sustainable development of human beings; for enterprises, but also to make themselves not choked by the throat of automobile manufacturing raw materials, can achieve self-sufficiency, but also can reduce the production costs of enterprises, improve the competitiveness of enterprises, and help enterprises achieve sustainable development.
