Great Wall OEM production MINI
Time back to July 10, 2018, Great Wall and BMW reached a cooperation agreement, signed a joint venture contract, the two sides accounted for 50% of the shares, the establishment of Beam Auto.
Subsequently, in November 2019, the beam vehicle project was officially launched in Zhangjiagang City, Jiangsu Province, with an annual standard production capacity of 160,000 units, and will officially put into operation MINI pure electric vehicles in 2023. This will also be the BMW Group's first joint venture project for electric vehicles in the world.
According to Klaus Frhlich, Director of R&D at the BMW Group, "Today China has become a driving force for innovation and a global market leader, especially in the areas of electrification and digitalization. The BMW Group has extensive experience as a leader in electrification, and Great Wall Motors is a leader in China's automotive industry, and the two companies will give full play to their respective expertise to jointly promote the development and production of new products. ”
Great Wall Motors also said that the unique new joint venture model is not only at the production level, but also includes the joint research and development of pure electric vehicles in China's world's largest new energy vehicle market.
Therefore, this time the cooperation between domestic and foreign capital is no longer a pure technology take-ism, and foreign models are simply localized. Instead, product planning, technology research and development, production and manufacturing, Great Wall Motors are all involved.
The reason why it chose to cooperate with great wall and invited great wall to participate in the development process of the model. All because of Great Wall Motors' deep technical reserves. Especially in the field of intelligent networking, batteries, and intelligent driving, the continuous investment makes Great Wall Motors have an industry-leading level.
Such as DHT hybrid technology that breaks the myth of Japanese hybridization.
In the field of 5G intelligent driving, china mobile has carried out in-depth cooperation and achieved phased results in V2X vehicle-road coordination technology.
In 2019, the Honeycomb Energy Jintan Power Battery Factory was officially put into operation, which is the world's first intelligent manufacturing factory that adopts advanced "high-speed lamination process" on square aluminum shell batteries, and has the ability to stably supply to the world's mainstream OEMs.
The nest energy launched a cobalt-free material and a quaternary material battery, which effectively solves the safety and cost problems of new energy power batteries with the application of lamination process.
These will provide solid technical support for the upcoming pure electric MINI, so that the MINI that transitions from fuel oil to pure electricity will not be left behind in the army of new energy.
According to gossip, the first model of the beam car adopts a three-door design, the battery capacity is 50.5kWh, the cruising range can reach 400km under WLTP conditions, and the new car will be officially released in June 2023. The car is most likely a purely electric version of the MINI.
Previously, more netizens took pictures of suspected domestic MINI test cars, and from the pictures, domestic MINI seems to have no charm from the previous MINI. However, in the end, what kind of face the domestic MINI will show, or leave it to the official to give clear information.
Geely is responsible for the production and development of domestic smart
Compared with the Great Wall and BMW jointly participating in the research and development of pure electric MINI, all the research and development work of the domestic smart in the future will be entrusted to Geely, while Mercedes-Benz is only responsible for the design part of the model.
It all started on February 24, 2018, when Geely's chairman had 9.69% of the voting rights of daimler group, becoming the largest single shareholder of daimler group. Subsequently, the two parties announced that each 50% of the joint venture company, the company named Zhimada, and jointly operated the smart brand.
The company's first model will be a domestic smart, the new car is expected to be listed in the second half of this year, and based on the domestic market, gradually diverged to various countries and regions around the world.
The first domestic smart model was designed by Mercedes-Benz, and Geely was responsible for production and research and development. The internal code name is HX11, and the new car will be built on the Geely SEA Haohan architecture platform.
Ask why Mercedes-Benz will rest assured that the research and development of domestic smart will be entrusted to Geely. The first pure electric exclusive architecture developed by Geely Automobile, the Haohan SEA Intelligent Evolution Experience Architecture, is hardcore enough.
Its core is to build a three-dimensional layout of the trinity with the hardware layer, system layer and ecological layer, which is a full ecological architecture from hardware to chip to application.
It aims to bring users a zero-border intelligent travel experience through scientific and technological innovation in six major areas (space, three electricity, intelligence, automatic driving, safety, and performance).
In the future, domestic smart will also be born from this architecture, which lays a good foundation for the model.
In terms of space, the Haohan architecture achieves a wheelbase range from 1800-3300 mm. With the same body size, a larger interior space can be created.
In terms of three electrics, the SEA Haohan architecture can achieve 200,000 kilometers of non-attenuation under THEC working conditions and produce 2 million kilometers of long-life power batteries.
In terms of intelligence, SEA Haohan architecture integrates the SEA OS vehicle intelligent development system, which can realize FOTA in all scenarios and full life cycles. And let the domestic smart have the universe intelligent human-computer interaction system.
In terms of autonomous driving, the SEA Haohan architecture has the ability to fully autonomously drive, and it will be able to complete autonomous driving under open roads in 2025. At this stage, the domestic smart has intelligent parking assistance, adaptive cruise, pilot assistance, lane keeping, emergency avoidance and other functions.
In terms of security, SEA Haohan architecture will be the first to deploy the national secret chip on the 5G Tbox to ensure the security of user information.
Coupled with the fact that Mercedes-Benz is also a brain hole in the design end, it can be seen from the concept map previously released that the new smart adopts the two-way door design of the carriage, supplemented by a through-type front and rear light group, a very personalized C-pillar, and the eye-catching rate is extremely high.
Next, wait for the new car to go on sale!
Toyota's new car will use BYD's blade battery
As early as 2019, Toyota and BYD reached a cooperation agreement, and by March 25, 2020, both sides invested 50% to establish BYD Toyota Electric Vehicle Technology Co., Ltd.
One is an old-school car company that has been established for more than 80 years, and the other is the only car company in the world that has fully mastered the technology of three electrics. The combination of the two sides can be described as a strong union.
Although according to the public PPT of e-TNGA, a new electric vehicle platform developed by Toyota at that time, BYD's name only appeared in the peripheral list of battery supply and business cooperation systems. And the first model of the platform, bZ4X, did not use BYD's battery, but chose the battery of the Ningde era.
But this does not mean that the cooperation between Toyota and BYD is just a passing touch and an eyeball. It is understood that the third model under the e-TNGA platform will use BYD's blade battery. (New car interior code EV7)
And there are rumors that in the future, BYD will be fully responsible for the design, development and manufacturing of new electric vehicles cooperated by the two sides, while Toyota is only responsible for the later acceptance. In the future, the core technologies such as electronic control, motors and batteries of Toyota's pure electric products sold in China will be fully responsible for BYD. (The authenticity of the information needs to be further verified)
Although the credibility of all new cars being developed by BYD is not high, the use of BYD blade batteries is almost a foregone conclusion.
Because the blade battery developed by BYD claims to be able to end the safety pain points of new energy vehicles, the label of "spontaneous combustion" is completely erased from the dictionary of new energy vehicles.
It has undergone the most stringent needle prick test in the world, as well as an upgraded test of 46 tons of heavy truck crushing. After two tests, BYD's blade battery did not have any smoke and fire, let alone spontaneous combustion.
And it uses lamination process. Compared with the winding structure, it has a larger heat dissipation surface and a thinner thickness, which makes it have excellent internal heat dissipation performance. As a result, it also has better cycle characteristics, safety characteristics and energy density.
In addition, compared with the traditional battery pack, the volume utilization rate of the blade battery has increased by more than 50%, which means that the cruising range can be increased by more than 50%, reaching the same level of high energy density ternary lithium batteries.
So it can be said that such an excellent blade battery, Toyota has no reason not to use.
summary
From the initial dependence, to the later independent research and development of straight waist bar, and then to the current foreign car companies also require cooperation, I have to say that domestic car companies are really growing step by step and becoming better themselves. The better domestic car companies will also help the mainland to move from a big country in the automobile industry to a strong country in the automobile industry.
