On December 17-19, 2021, the third "Horizon Cup" China Intelligent Vehicle Annual Model Evaluation Test and Evaluation Conference sponsored by the Automotive Evaluation Institute was held in Beijing. After layers of selection, 20 models stood out from 106 shortlisted models and were rigorously inspected by experts at professional intelligent network test sites. In the end, Weipai Mocha won the most important award - the "Horizon Cup" the 3rd China Intelligent Vehicle Annual Model Evaluation Annual Intelligent Model Award with its outstanding performance in intelligent parking, intelligent cruise, intelligent navigation and intelligent navigation system.
This result can be said to be unexpected, because many of the products participating in the competition are pure electric vehicles that "win at the starting line", which have innate advantages in electrification and intelligence, and some foreign brands, whether brand power or R & D investment, have more advantages; but this result is also reasonable, in fact, in the 20 products participating in the final inspection, none of them can reach such a high level of intelligence under the traditional fuel vehicle architecture like Mocha, and look at it from another dimension No product has been able to provide consumers with such a reassuring and comprehensive smart car product at the same price level. As the Expert Committee commented: "If the price factor is introduced, Mocha is undoubtedly the most competitive." Whether it is following the car, bending adaptation, lane keeping, or cockpit intelligent performance, mocha and Mercedes-Benz, Xiaopeng are on the same level, and even the test performance of some functions is still on top of it, and its price is the most affordable. ”
In other words, Mocha not only came up with impressive results in the professional test, but also won the affirmation of the expert committee in other dimensions with comprehensive strength, which is the key reason why Weipai Mocha won the only award.
Mocha was recognized by the jury for its outstanding performance
The industry generally believes that pure electric vehicles are the future of intelligent driving, but the emergence of mocha not only proves that fuel vehicles based on engines also have high-end intelligent cockpits, but also have the strength to match pure electric vehicles in assisted driving and even automatic driving.
On the day of the test, Mocha was not the most concerned model among the 20 shortlisted models, and most of the members of the expert committee took the lead in setting their sights on pure electric vehicles. However, "gold will always shine", with some expert experience, after testing the mocha, its excellent cockpit experience and outstanding auxiliary driving function, people have left a deep impression, and with the expert committee on the product test continues to be carried out, more and more expert members in the experience comparison, gave the mocha a high evaluation.
"Motorcycle trucks are equipped with a wealth of intelligent driver assistance systems, and the overall performance is excellent. The pilot system has a wide range of speed, many application traffic scenarios, excellent speed and direction control performance, and a strong sense of comfort, operational security and trust. Guan Xin, dean of the Automotive Research Institute of Jilin University, Yangtze River Scholar Distinguished Professor, and chairman of the China Intelligent Vehicle Annual Model Evaluation Committee, said after testing the Wei brand mocha that he believes that the comprehensive performance of the mocha in the assisted driving level is close to the level of excellent drivers, and the performance is the most prominent among all the participating models.
To say that the most impressive to experts is Mocha's NOH intelligent pilot assisted driving function. "The practicality and stability of this function are excellent, it can not only achieve adaptive cruising from entering the high speed to driving out of the high speed, but also can achieve automatic lane change, overtaking and other complex actions under the premise of ensuring safety, if the automatic lane change process encounters the rear car overtaking, the system will automatically stop lane change, much like a mature and stable old driver." Liu Zongwei, associate researcher at Tsinghua University's School of Vehicles and Vehicles and assistant dean of the Academy of Automotive Industry and Technology Strategy, said.
"Compared with pure electric vehicles, the intelligent driving assistance function based on traditional mechanical structure makes me feel more at ease. For example, in recent years, we often see the news of the sudden acceleration or loss of control of pure electric vehicles, and the consequences are more serious, which is related to the characteristics of the motor 'that is, give and have'. However, the intelligent driving realized on the traditional mechanical structure, even if a similar situation occurs, will relatively leave enough reaction time for the driver. Zhu Xichan, a professor at the School of Automotive Science of Tongji University and director of the Institute of Automotive Safety Technology, said that unlike the principle of the motor, to achieve intelligent driving under the mechanical structure, it is necessary to do more coordination work with the electronic control signal on the engine, transmission and other parts, which is more difficult, but overall safer.
In fact, compared with the other 19 products involved this time, although other products also have remarkable performance, the comprehensive strength shown by Weipai Mocha is leading the industry. "Mocha actively adopts innovative technologies, which play a leading role in technological innovation in the consumer market and industry. Moreover, the cost performance is the most prominent advantage of Mocha, and this factor is obviously impossible to ignore for consumers. Xu Xiangyang, professor of the School of Transportation Science and Engineering of Beihang University and director of the academic committee of the academy, gave a high evaluation to the mocha, he believes that Weipai mocha has won the unanimous recognition of the jury for its super product competitiveness, and it is deserved to win the only award of this year.
Once, many people said that buying domestic cars is because of feelings, but playing the emotional card will inevitably not go long. A product in the market competition, in the end to rely on product strength and price advantage to win, this is the consumer market unchanged iron law, and the expert committee can give Wei brand Mocha such a high evaluation, enough to see that this Chinese brand car has fully complied with this market law.
Make intelligence work for people
When we talk about smart cars, what exactly is the intelligence in it? Some companies use automatic parking as the selling point of "intelligence", and some use voice recognition as a propaganda point, which is undoubtedly intelligent, but it is not really intelligent. Intelligence is not an "island", only solve a certain aspect of the problem, it should be able to "think" like people.
At the beginning of the birth of Mocha, it hoped to provide users with "simple accompaniment". How should this sentence be understood? We believe that this is a "strange circle" that Weipai hopes to break, that is, the configuration on the car is getting richer and richer, and the functions seem to be more and more, but in fact, there are not many that can really be used by consumers, and what Mocha hopes is to provide a more convenient and intelligent car experience as much as possible where users have needs.
Wu Sheng, the founder of Scene Labs, once asked an interesting question: When the digital age arrives, what is the experience we expect? What is the temperature we are willing to feel? "Under the proposition of the new era, travel in the digital age is calling for the emergence of 'new species', we hope to be people-oriented, in different digital generalities, exhibit more and more and more closely related to us, and solve the pain points of our lives of small luck." Wu Sheng summed up in this way, answering people's expectations and needs in the digital era of automobiles, and mocha is a "new species" that came into being at the dawn of this new era.
In fact, the so-called "new species" is not the gap between the hardware, but its uniqueness from other things, just as the most fundamental difference between humans and other animals is intelligence, and for Mocha, the most fundamental difference is also reflected in its strong "thinking" ability. Having a thinking ability similar to that of people means that Mocha is no longer a cold machine, but a "you" as the center, growing into an active companion, insightful, on-call "smart travel partner who knows you best".
For example, the NOH intelligent pilot auxiliary driving function that experts are talking about during the selection process, which is based on millimeter wave radar, forward-looking lens, high-precision map and decision-making system can achieve autonomous lane change, overtaking decision-making, intelligent up and down ramps and other functions on the highway, when the current rear vehicles maintain a safe distance, the mocha automatically turns on the turn signal and realizes parallel overtaking, and when the driver judges the safe distance and turns on the turn signal, the mocha can also achieve lane change and overtaking according to the driver's intention, this action does not drag mud with water. It is worth mentioning that when the judges experience this function, there is a landmark situation where the dotted line becomes a solid line on the road surface, and mocha is just about to make a lane change action, and then returns to the original lane because it detects the change of the road marking, which is the intelligence we want to see.
In the view of experts, the fusion parking function has been much better than the original automatic parking, the mocha basically does not need a specific identification line or a specific scene, you can accurately find the position that can stop yourself, as long as the driver selects the framed position on the central control screen, the mocha can enter the parking space by itself. Even if the visual inspection of some parking spaces is very limited, through the accurate measurement of the sensor, the mocha can still park in it without error, and the process can be described as thrilling, which can't help but make the professional riders on the scene feel impressed.
In order to enhance the driving experience, the AR-HUD system applied by Mocha also shined in this test. In the open navigation mode, AR-HUD will simulate the path through animation, and accurately project the driving route in the form of a similar 3D display in front of the driver's eyes, compared with the past in the central control screen to display the entrance and exit positions in 2D pictures, this display effect is undoubtedly an improvement in the spatial dimension, and its application will make the Xizhimen Bridge no longer a "nightmare" for the driver. In addition to the map navigation information, including side-on-call warnings and other road participant labeling information can also be displayed, greatly reducing the possibility of drivers ignoring a certain traffic participant.
Set a new benchmark to change the market competition pattern
In fact, although the test of the mocha impressed the expert committee, the highlights of the mocha are far more than the intelligent aspects of this conversation, and it can even be said that these are just the tip of the iceberg of many highlights of the mocha. When Weipai launched the mocha, many people once thought that it was a replacement product, but through this selection, the expert committee members believed that the mocha was a new "species", and felt that intelligence is not a stack of configurations, but can really be used by people.
Mocha's advanced intelligent driving function benefits from the outstanding technology platform - coffee intelligent system, the system is a user-centric, vehicle-as-carrier, cross-scenario application of a new generation of vehicle intelligent system, through the integration and innovation of the whole vehicle intelligence, to bring users an intelligent travel service experience, with intelligent cockpit, intelligent driving, intelligent service "three wisdom integration" innovation ability, from perception, data, HMI, service and experience and other multi-level to promote the intelligent improvement of vehicles, to build a new era of travel service ecology. With the blessing of the coffee intelligent system, Mocha can meet the daily travel needs of users in an all-round way.
At the same time, Mocha is also the only "entry is hybrid" model of the same level, in addition to the 2.0T engine + 48V mixing system, but also the DHT-PHEV hybrid technology is applied to it, as one of the few new energy models in the domestic SUV market, mocha DHT-PHEV system covers electric and hybrid two power forms, integrated two-speed fixed-axle gearbox, is the world's first full-speed domain high efficiency, good driving experience, high degree of intelligence of the new energy architecture. This system is independently designed and developed by Weipai, and has applied for 199 patents, including more than 80 core patents.
Under the support of intelligent DHT hybrid technology, the product performance of Weipai's latest Mocha DHT-PHEV model has far exceeded that of the extended range models and pure electric vehicle models of the new power camp. In terms of function, the single-motor Mocha DHT-PHEV 2022 1.5T 0 Anxiety Smart Edition is enough to meet the needs of general home use. The 204-kilometer WLTC pure electric mileage can already cover 95% of the travel demand, which can be called the "ceiling" of pure electric endurance of PHEV products on the market today. Compared to the ideal ONE's 188 km pure electric range under NEDC conditions, the mocha DHT-PHEV not only has a longer pure electric range, but is closer to actual use.
Of course, the system efficiency of Mocha DHT-PHEV is also second to none, and its engine adopts a number of advanced technologies in the industry: integrated exhaust manifold in the cylinder head, 350bar overhead direct injection, high-temperature VGT supercharger, deep Miller cycle and other advanced technologies, which not only meet the national VI .b emissions, but also have a high thermal efficiency of 38%, reaching the industry's first-class level. With a 130kW high-integrated DHT transmission, two-speed direct drive, covering the full-speed domain scene, making the fuel consumption of more than 2 tons of Mocha DHT-PHEV only 5.55L/100km, and the comprehensive cruising range of more than 1000 km, all indicators are greatly better than competitors.
At present, a phenomenon recognized by the industry is that the homogenization of commercially available products is very high, the product configuration is similar at the same price, and small functional changes are often there, but innovative technologies are rare. On Mocha, we see that its leading edge is more than a little, whether it is intelligent security, intelligent cockpit, intelligent driving, etc., Mocha has achieved leading the industry, and even leading the "new forces".
In the past few years, it is often the new car-making forces that talk about subversion, but the new forces gradually find that their foundation is too thin, and it is not realistic to subvert traditional car companies, so they will no longer mention it in recent years. The fact that Mocha won the "Horizon Cup" the third China Intelligent Vehicle Annual Model Evaluation Annual Smart Model Award, we are deeply encouraged and delighted, because backed by more than 30 years of car-making experience of the Great Wall, Weipai has both confidence and is qualified to stir the market.
The global auto industry is in full swing to promote the "new four modernizations", and in this year's complex internal and external environment, the competition between manufacturers is more intense, and the auto industry has entered a period of deep adjustment. Since ancient times, there is a saying that "heroes in a chaotic world" and the ever-changing market environment have accelerated elimination, but at the same time accelerated the emergence of strong people in the industry. "The more competition, the faster the species evolve." Wei Pai started with Mocha, not only to change the fuel vehicle market, but also to be the "head goose" of the intelligent transformation of automobiles.
We're all saying that smart mobility makes life better. The most fundamental embodiment of this beauty is actually the understanding and satisfaction of our needs by intelligence, and the mocha is the "person" that allows consumers to enjoy the customized exclusive experience of thousands of people. Integrating many application scenarios, Mocha brings people's car experience to a new dimension, just like from two-dimensional space to three-dimensional space, mocha can provide active services around the needs of car owners. This leap seems to have been the "patent" of the new car-making forces in the past, but Mocha took the lead in breaking through this invisible "shackles", proving that traditional car companies can also be at the forefront of the era of leading digital transformation.
