From the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympic Games to the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games, Zhang Xiaofan represented BAIC Group twice in the Olympic service guarantee and is a veritable "double Olympic person". Whether it is the scorching heat of the sun or the ice and snow, in this "double Olympic love affair" that lasted for 14 years, he contributed to the "BAIC power" for the green Olympics.
"I am proud to promote environmental protection through the Olympic opportunity"
14 years ago, new energy vehicles in China have not been large-scale promotion, hydrogen fuel vehicles are a new thing. When the hydrogen-fueled bus developed and manufactured by Beiqi Foton during the Beijing Olympic Games appeared on the streets of Beijing as a demonstration operation vehicle, it aroused a lot of attention. Zhang Xiaofan is a member of the service assurance team.
"There are three cars in total, and I sometimes drive in the car, sometimes I drive myself and follow behind, and I keep abreast of the car conditions." He told reporters that at that time, people generally felt that hydrogen energy from a wide range of sources, clean and efficient, and rich application scenarios was "mysterious", "often people come to experience the ride, many of whom are foreign guests participating in the Olympic Games, who are amazed by the hydrogen cylinders that replaced the fuel tank and the smooth exhaust pipes as new." ”
What impresses Zhang Xiaofan so far is that there is a detail in the promotional video at that time, the water discharged from the exhaust pipe can be raised and drunk, and someone really takes a cup to pick up the water to find out. "I feel proud to be able to popularize BAIC's advanced green environmental protection technology to the whole society and even the world through the Olympic Games."
"As soon as the walkie-talkie rings, the fastest response"
The scenes of 2008 are like yesterday. In the past 14 years, Zhang Xiaofan has been based on his employees as a contributor to the green environmental protection development of BAIC. At the Winter Olympics, he led more than 30 colleagues to form a team responsible for providing support for more than 500 Foton Ouhui new energy buses in Beijing.
Since the start of the race, the team has always maintained a 24-hour on-duty state, whether it is routine work such as checking vehicles before and after receiving the car, or dealing with sudden emergencies, it has methodically prepared for the punctual departure of winter Olympic vehicles to ensure that the vehicle maintenance is in place.
"Take the CAR THAT ISIB West Field Station responsible for the transfer of the main media center, running 24 hours, starting at a fixed time, running a lap of six or seven kilometers, which is a short-distance connection, and the current daily operation capacity is at least 85%." Zhang Xiaofan joked that he is most afraid of hearing the walkie-talkie ringing, which means that there is a situation, "but once it rings, we are not afraid at all, and respond as quickly as possible." ”
The biggest difficulty in serving the Winter Olympics is epidemic prevention. The vehicle runs in a closed loop, and the service team cannot enter the depot at any time to maintain the condition of the vehicle as in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, and the national "two sessions" in previous years. "The level of protection for this Winter Olympics is very high, and every car that comes back from outside must be strictly killed before it can enter the station. Even temporary dispatch parts are shipped into the closed loop with strict rules. Zhang Xiaofan said that there is a buffer zone inside and outside the closed loop, the transfer car delivers the parts and leaves, and after the parts are strictly killed, the people in the closed loop take it in.
"Service double Olympiao, a lifetime of glory"
"It's too big!" Talking about the changes in the past 14 years, Zhang Xiaofan has a lot of feelings and is full of pride between his words. He has been working in Beiqi Foton for 18 years, and he believes that whether it is product technology progress, the development of the company's human environment, or the feelings of employees for the company and brand, there has been a significant improvement. "Our technology is at the forefront of the industry, especially new energy, and the shape is also beautiful." There are 515 Ouhui hydrogen fuel buses in the Zhangjiakou area of the Winter Olympic Games. ”
These 14 years are also the 14 years of green development of BAIC Group, and whenever the Foton Ouhui new energy bus passes on the street, Zhang Xiaofan feels very kind. "After the 2008 Olympic Games, BAIC's new energy technology has developed more and more rapidly. In 2009, Foton Ouhui and Beijing Bus Group reached a strategic cooperation, and the first batch of cars sold 850 units, which happened to be the same day of my birthday on April 28. In the next ten years, Zhang Xiaofan has been responsible for serving the Beijing bus project, from not knowing anything about new energy technology to learning and doing it while making up for it, he has slowly grown into an excellent service manager who can be independent.
In 2008, the torch illuminated the bird's nest, and Beijing painted a magnificent picture of "one world, one dream"; in 2022, the torch was lit again in Beijing, and the vow of "going to the future together" resounded through the night sky. In Zhang Xiaofan's view, the experience of serving the Olympic Games twice is his lifelong wealth, "Green Olympics paved the background of the Beijing Winter Olympics, and it is my pride to be able to contribute on behalf of BAIC Group." Hopefully, we can all continue to forge ahead towards a farther goal. ”
