A few days ago, Xiaokang officially announced the production and sales data for March this year, and its Sales volume in March was 3160 vehicles, with a strong momentum. According to industry analysts, the sales of Xilis in the month mainly came from the AITO M5, which exceeded 3,000 units in the first month of delivery, and may become a hot sale in the field of extended range electric vehicles.
At present, a new round of industrial change represented by intelligent manufacturing and industrial Internet is being carried out rapidly, and electrification, networking and intelligence will be the general direction of the development of the mainland automobile industry. At the same time, in the context of global carbon reduction, some car companies have issued a timetable for stopping the sale of fuel vehicles, and the development of new energy vehicles has become a compulsory course for the survival and development of automobile companies.
Not only that, for people living in the Internet age, the car is no longer just a simple travel tool, but more like a smart partner. Models with highly intelligent and excellent product experience have gradually become the first choice for consumers to buy cars. Xilis timely insight into the market wind, at the end of last year released a high-end new energy vehicle brand - AITO, the brand's first model Q&A M5 also showed a good momentum of development after the listing and delivery. As expressed in the brand slogan Advanced Intelligence to Auto, AITO will inject wisdom into the car and lead the high-quality development of the industry with innovative ideas.
From AUTO to AITO, embark on an evolutionary journey that disrupts tradition
In today's rapid development of science and technology, the car has been endowed with "wisdom and life", and has gradually become a "third living space" integrating travel, entertainment, social networking and office, bringing people a more convenient and intelligent travel experience.
In order to cope with the development of the era of automotive intelligence, Xilix Automobile adheres to an open and integrated mindset, carries out in-depth cooperation with Huawei, and obtains the help of ICT companies in technology, products and channels, and the two sides have created a precedent for deep cross-border integration. AITO's original intention is to build a truly intelligent car, and the new brand integrates the most advanced technology and the best quality resources of Xilix and Huawei.
For example, this car is the first to carry the new HarmonyOS intelligent cockpit innovation products, there is no doubt that the attribute blessing of the smart ecology is also a plus in the field of new energy, with the support of HarmonyOS, AITO Q&A M5 opens up the mobile phone, smart wearable devices and other channels connected with the car, and consolidates the label of smart cars. The car-machine system equipped with the M5 can learn independently and adapt to the user, and it can achieve continuous optimization of performance and software without changing the hardware, so that the car has an active service thinking.
It is certain that the strong combination of Xilix and Huawei will promote the AITO brand to innovate from the inside out, from the inside out, from the thinking, and essentially promote the new development of mobility.
Self-sustaining self-developed core technology Xilis pure electric drive range extender platform (DE-i)
The world's automotive industry is experiencing major changes unprecedented in a century, especially in the development of recent years, let us truly realize the importance of firmly grasping the core technology in our own hands. If you want to become a strong person, you need to have excellent research and development strength, only in this way, will the progress of core technology be stronger and more lasting.
In the face of the "double carbon" goal, all car companies are accelerating technology iteration and developing new technologies and system solutions to further enhance the safety, energy saving and environmental protection of new energy vehicle products. Since its establishment in 2016, Xilis has always adhered to the self-sustaining and self-research of technology, and has obtained more than 1,000 patented technologies in the core technology fields of new energy such as electric and intelligent. On December 2, 2021, Xilix released the Cyrus Pure Electric Drive Range Extended Range Platform (DE-i), which raises the technological advancement of EVR and product reliability to a new height.
The platform is the industry's first intelligent range extender control system for multi-scenario recognition, which can be optimally matched with core components such as third-generation range extenders, drive systems, and battery PACK. The system can independently identify 864 travel scenarios to achieve accurate matching and achieve global and all-season adaptability, while the system can also continuously upgrade OTA to improve AI learning capabilities. The platform supports product endurance of 1000 km to start, 4 seconds of 100 km acceleration, bringing stronger power, lower energy consumption of hard power, and a good solution to the common industry pain points of new energy vehicles.
This is more concretely reflected in the AITO Q&I M5, which uses a 1.5T four-cylinder range extender specially built for the extended range system, with a maximum compression ratio of 15:1 and a thermal efficiency of up to 41%. The high thermal efficiency makes the efficiency of the engine significantly improved, the power loss is less, and the power generation efficiency of the range extender reaches 3.2kW·h/L, which can escort the power of the vehicle for high-intensity driving conditions, and ensure the power output.
In addition to the efficient intelligent range extender, the AITO Inquisition M5 is equipped with an asynchronous AC motor on the front axle and a permanent magnet synchronous motor on the rear axle to form a dual-motor four-wheel drive solution, making its performance beyond imagination. The all-wheel drive flagship version of the AITO M5 has a total power of 365kW, accelerating 4.4 seconds from 100 km/h and accelerating from 0-50 km/h to a staggering 1.9 seconds.
Smart factories enable digital transformation
AiTO's first model, the M5, was released on December 23 last year and officially delivered on March 5, and each step is proceeding in an orderly manner as planned. As a new model, sales in the first month exceeded many people's expectations.
Behind the strong delivery is inseparable from the strong production capacity of the Xilis Liangjiang Smart Factory. The factory is built in accordance with Industry 4.0 standards, including five major processes including stamping, welding, painting, final assembly and battery PACK, using advanced and intelligent manufacturing processes, with high work efficiency and mass production capacity, with more than 1,000 robots working together, key processes to achieve 100% automation, 24-hour full-time online inspection, to ensure high efficiency and high quality.
At present, the production capacity of Thexis Liangjiang Smart Factory is rapidly climbing, and the new second plant built in accordance with the standards of intelligent digital flexible vehicle factories has been basically completed, laying a solid foundation for future scale delivery. It is also reported that Xilis masters the two technical routes of pure electricity and extended range, and will launch more diversified products according to market demand.
Previously, the "Carbon Peak Action Plan before 2030" issued by the State Council mentioned that it is necessary to vigorously promote new energy vehicles. The launch of the pure electric drive range extended range platform (DE-i) by Xilis Automobile marks a major progress in range extension technology, and has the conditions for large-scale industrialization, coupled with the support of national policies, which not only reduces the installed capacity of power batteries, but also promotes the transformation and upgrading of traditional internal combustion engines to intelligent range extended range systems, and I believe that its future market prospects are broad!
