On the first day of the winter vacation, more than 20 primary and secondary school students from many schools in Shanghai went to Jiading to participate in the "Zero Carbon Smart Travel • Future City" study tour organized by the Nuclear Science and Technology Innovation Center to experience low-carbon and zero-carbon life, feel the changes of environmental protection technology, and enhance their comprehensive ability in exploration and research.
At 10:00 a.m., the friends came to the first stop, Volvo Cars Asia Pacific Headquarters, and everyone was immediately attracted by the typical Scandinavian style architecture. The headquarters building, which has a floor area of approximately 200,000 square meters, was inaugurated in March 2019 and includes Volvo Cars Asia Pacific and its R&D center and design center in Asia Pacific.
After entering the main building, the students were attracted by the four Volvo cars parked in the atrium, including new energy vehicles, and the "volvo" environmental protection wall composed of a whole moss was more eye-catching, and they personally felt Volvo's pursuit and practice of environmental protection concepts, and the humanization, comfort and fun of the office area made everyone yearn.
Subsequently, a special car popularization class was held in the round table conference center, volvo senior engineers introduced the classification and modeling of cars, automobile construction and development, the main functional departments of the automobile factory, etc. to the students, and after sharing, the students actively interacted with the engineers to jointly imagine the future appearance of the car, with the power of science and technology, endowed with environmental protection.
In the afternoon, the students opened a new research and study check-in point - Shanghai International Automobile City EV-AI Zhixing Port, visited the Experience Automobile Museum, and observed the operation of the new energy public data detection system.
Shanghai International Automobile City is a key construction project in Shanghai's "Tenth Five-Year Plan", planning to cover an area of 100 square kilometers, including automobile trade zone, automobile research and development zone, automobile manufacturing area, Anting New Town District, racing area, automobile education area and other functional areas, including the familiar FI Racing China Station.
EV-AI Zhixing Port was upgraded from the test drive center built in 2011 as a demonstration window of Shanghai International Automobile City, demonstrating the core technical achievements of the country's first international demonstration area for electric vehicles and the national intelligent networked vehicle pilot demonstration area. Aiming at the "intelligentization, networking, electrification and sharing" of automobiles, Zhixing Port carries out cutting-edge technology display and exchange, travel service experience, new model exploration of car purchase and science demonstration and promotion of future travel, and is committed to building the world's first "EV+AI" one-stop experience center for future travel, and actively serving the construction of a world-class automobile industry center.
Under the leadership of the teacher, the students visited the Smart Energy Center to understand the future development trend of automobiles and experience the most cutting-edge autonomous driving technology. At the end of the activity, the students came to the China Post Automobile Museum, selected their own postal stamps and started the robotic arm to knock on the star film, leaving precious memories and commemorations.
Ge Chenjie, head of the Shanghai Nuclear Science and Technology Innovation Center, introduced that nuclear power is a training school with the mission of cultivating computational thinking and cultivating future innovative talents and featuring science and technology education, and the "zero carbon intelligent tourism • future city" study tour is one of the series of activities, which is a specific measure for the nuclear power science and technology innovation center to implement the "double reduction" policy and help primary and secondary school students improve their comprehensive quality.
