Over the past few days, outside the cold Beijing Olympic Park, 5 blue and yellow new energy mobile food trucks with hot air have been "on duty" on time every day, which not only sends warmth to the logistics support personnel of the Winter Olympic Games, but also really helps the "Zero Carbon Winter Olympics".
These new energy mobile food trucks from the geely commercial vehicle group's remote brand series, which started from Huzhou more than a month ago, have served a group of logistics support personnel from the beginning of the activity drill to the opening of the official Winter Olympic Games, and have received unanimous praise and praise from the Beijing Municipal General Security Bureau.
How did these "Huzhou intelligent" new energy mobile food trucks move from Huzhou to the Beijing Winter Olympics? The reporter interviewed the person in charge of Huzhou, Geely's new energy mobile food truck project, and listened to the story behind it.
The team of more than 20 people has worked hard for more than 1 month to successfully develop
"It was November last year when I received the order, because I had to participate in the winter Olympic drill one month in advance, so there was not much time left for the R&D team, which was still very difficult." Zhou Guangzhen, head of the Huzhou project of Geely New Energy Mobile Food Truck, said frankly that he felt pressure when he received the task. Despite this, Geely Commercial Vehicle Research Institute rose to the challenge and organized a research and development team of more than 20 people to start work in a race against time.
Zhou Guangzhen told reporters that the two core problems that these 5 vehicles need to solve are the lightweight of the whole vehicle, and the other is the continuous power supply of new energy vehicles in the cold weather of Beijing. "The second problem in particular, the need to continue to use in the event of a power outage, and finally the team successfully developed a reverse power supply for the vehicle, that is, even in the case of a power outage, the vehicle can continue to work for 4 to 6 hours." Zhou Guangzhen said that so far, they have received unanimous praise from various food truck users in Beijing, and more praise from the Beijing Municipal General Security Bureau.
According to reports, at present, Geely Commercial Vehicle Huzhou Factory will continue to transform and produce 100 new energy mobile food trucks to serve and ensure the upcoming Opening of the Beijing Winter Paralympic Games and the National Two Sessions.
New energy mobile food trucks can also help rural revitalization
Let's look at what this new energy mobile food truck of "Huzhou Intelligent Manufacturing" can do? "Although this food truck is not large, it can meet the needs of making more than 300 meals on the spot, and can also make barbecue, coffee, roasting and other styles of food, so as to ensure that every security worker can enjoy a warm and delicious meal." Zhou Guangzhen said that the flexibility of mobile food trucks lies in the fact that they can be close to actual needs when developed, bringing convenience and services directly to the scene, which is very humane.
It is the flexibility of new energy mobile food trucks that has also brought consumers a new way of consumption. According to reports, new energy mobile food trucks can also enrich the format of rural tourism, "the current rural tourism has the characteristics of seasonality, fixed commercial booths in the peak season is not enough to meet the needs of tourists, off-season and idle, so new energy commercial vehicles can give individuals more entrepreneurial opportunities, with rural revitalization." Zhou Guangzhen said that this also gives consumers more choices, which is a kind of consumption innovation. It is understood that at present, many orders are for mobile commercial vehicles for scenic spots, and the Huzhou factory is also actively producing.
Geely Commercial Vehicle Ran Out of "Huzhou Speed"
"We were fortunate enough to catch the shuttle for the Winter Olympics thanks to the 'Huzhou Speed'." Mao Liming, general manager of Geely Commercial Vehicles Huzhou Factory, said that the Huzhou factory took 264 days from signing the contract and landing to production! This speed was something they hadn't dared to think about before.
Geely Group has its own strategic development and planning department, "landing" a new project, it is bound to think about it again and again. "Because of the tight time, the negotiation and research were carried out at the same time." After an in-depth investigation of Huzhou, Mao Liming said, "Huzhou's location advantage is obvious, and the new energy industry concentration is very high, just like a 'foothold' tailored for our new projects, which is very suitable for the needs of enterprises, and it is inevitable to choose here." ”
Negotiations began on March 8, 2021, and after several rounds of efficient consultations, the two sides signed a contract on April 12. In just 36 days, Geely Commercial Vehicle Group's first new energy commercial vehicle project in the Yangtze River Delta region was settled in Huzhou. From the landing of the project in April to the end of last year, Geely Commercial Vehicle Group's remote brand buses and special vehicles were invoiced and sold at the Huzhou factory, with sales of nearly 60 million yuan.
Mao Liming said that taking root and tapping the Huzhou market is the first step, and next, Geely will face Zhejiang, radiate the Yangtze River Delta, and step by step build a strategic deployment of carbon neutrality in the whole value chain.
