On April 20, 2022, the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2022 was held as scheduled in Boao Town, Hainan Province, and as last year, due to the impact of the epidemic, the conference was still conducted in a combination of online + offline.
This time, the Boao Forum for Asia, around the theme of "Epidemic and the World: Jointly Promoting Global Development and Building a Common Future", seems to be a big theme, but such an international discussion is actually not as far away from us as it seems, and the content discussed is actually closely related to our lives. In a word, it is embodied that "the core is neutral in carbon, and the finale is in the metacosm".
Energy saving and emission reduction, the road to carbon neutrality in the automotive industry
Global supply chains have had mixed ups and downs in the past year, and since the beginning of this year, the capricious epidemic in Asia has brought a thick layer of smog to Asia's trade economy, and economic development has become a common vision of more countries. Unlike the path of the industrial age in the past, there is now a problem of the environment on the top of the economic problem. As a result, we can see that the theme of the discussion on the first day of the conference on April 20 is "carbon neutrality".
What is carbon neutrality? Carbon neutrality is to cancel out various carbon dioxide produced by human activities through afforestation and other forms in a certain period of time, so as to achieve "zero emissions" of carbon dioxide. Modern history is the history of industry, history of industry is the history of energy, and carbon neutrality is reshaping all industries from the perspective of energy.
At the Boao Forum for Asia, a series of discussions were held on the issue of carbon neutrality, and representatives from international organizations and Chinese and foreign experts exchanged views on topics such as industrial restructuring and energy structure transformation, the realization of temperature control goals, and the establishment of international cooperation to improve the carbon market mechanism, fully collided views, and explored the way to achieve carbon neutrality.
At present, more than 20 carbon emission trading systems have been established around the world. As the world's largest consumer market, how can the Chinese market better achieve emission reduction targets through the carbon market mechanism of international cooperation?
In this regard, Zhou Xiaochuan, vice chairman of the Boao Forum for Asia, said that the mainland has initially formed a national unified carbon market, and then it is necessary to optimize the carbon market incentive mechanism, the direction of optimization should be from the spot to the forward market, and the incentive mechanism in the medium and long term is mainly to guide investment, and find new technologies, equipment and processes by guiding capital investment. It takes a process to achieve the desired efficacy.
Take the automobile industry as an example, as an important part of the industrial system, not only in the production and manufacturing stage to face the problem of carbon emissions, the car as the most important travel tool for human beings, exhaust emissions are closely related to the problem of carbon neutrality. For the automobile industry, although there is a double-point reward and punishment policy, but in essence, carbon neutrality is not an obligation or cost issue, but a problem of development trend and future survival, in the future, as most countries achieve carbon neutrality, the competitiveness of the automotive industry may depend on its green and low-carbon "gold content".
Therefore, we can also see that car companies are actively transforming electrification to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality. However, the road to transformation is not achieved overnight, it requires a gradual process, and for most traditional car companies, the current technical improvement of fuel models is also imminent.
At present, the mainstream of the market is still fuel models, so on the issue of carbon neutrality, energy conservation and emission reduction is the attitude of car companies to actively respond to carbon neutrality. The CADILLAC CT6 vip car at the Boao Forum for Asia gave a good answer. Cadillac CT6, the only one in the same class equipped with a 2.0T variable cylinder turbo engine and a 10-speed automatic transmission with a powertrain, has the characteristics of low emissions, low fuel consumption, low speed and high torque. This engine, with a highlight technology - Tripower variable valve management technology, can monitor the power output needs of a variety of driving situations in real time, and intelligently and automatically adjust the opening and closing degree of the engine intake valve, to achieve "four cylinder high-performance mode", "four-cylinder economic mode" and "two-cylinder ultra-economic mode" three working conditions, to obtain better fuel economy, contribute to energy saving and emission reduction.
Carbon neutrality is a means of solving environmental problems. After this pandemic, which has been going on for several years, the world is paying more attention to the health of the environment than ever before, which is reflected in the automotive sector, which is the concept of green cockpits. Also take the Boao Forum for Asia VIP car Cadillac CT6, which is equipped with air particulate matter filtration and negative ion generator, which can generate at least 1.3 million negative ions with a concentration of 1.3 million / cubic centimeter after the air conditioner is turned on, which can actively adsorb tiny particles and make them settle, with PM2.5 filter, the filtration efficiency is further increased by 30%, ensuring fresh and comfortable cockpit breathing, which can effectively protect the respiratory health of occupants, especially allergy-prone people.
Climate change is an important topic at the annual meeting of the Boao Forum for Asia, under the carbon neutrality target, car companies can play an important role in optimizing the allocation of resources, and as the consensus on carbon neutrality improves, we will also wait and see the future market.
Intelligent technology, the metacosmological future of the automotive industry
It is undeniable that the current Internet era will face a new change, and this time the "industrial revolution" that changes the Internet is the metacosm. The Boao Forum for Asia has taken the metacosm as the core of the finale, which is deeply considered.
The metacosm is a 3D virtual space with convergent and physical persistence characteristics that present convergent and physical persistence characteristics through virtual augmentation of physical reality, based on the future Internet, with link perception and shared characteristics. The real world is already the Red Sea, the parallel world is the blue ocean, and the metacosm is to reshape all reality from the perspective of the virtual.
The Boao Forum for Asia pointed out that the metacosm is a new internet application and social form that integrates virtual reality and reality produced by integrating a variety of new technologies, which will shape a new interactive mode of reality and virtual world, contains great opportunities for social, life, games, office and other scene changes, and will become the next global scientific and technological outlet.
From the current technical environment of the meta-universe, there is still a lot of room for development, with the continuous progress of science and technology, and the improvement of supporting facilities, plasticity is still very high, it is worth long-term tracking. The combination of the metacosm and industry will inevitably produce new commercial value.
Focusing on the automotive industry, can automotive intelligence become part of the metacosm in the future? In fact, many car companies have a substantial research direction on this issue, for the car, the realization of intelligent driving is an indispensable part, cadillac CT6 on the new generation of Super Cruise super assisted driving system is a step towards the future of the car. As the industry's first intelligent driver assistance system using a centimeter-level high-precision map data system, and the first intelligent driving system that allows drivers to let go of their hands on highways in North America, it has the proud result of "16 million kilometers without accidents" in the world.
In addition, today's CT6 has realized 7 active safety technologies such as ACC, AEB, FCM, LCC, LKA, etc., from reminder and early warning, active intervention to intelligent cruise comprehensive coverage, bringing a more comfortable, safe and relaxed travel experience with intelligent technology.
Write at the end:
At the Boao Forum for Asia, we saw that development and opportunities coexist after the epidemic, but carbon neutrality is an urgent goal in front of us, and only the research and development and progress of related core technologies can drive the green upgrading of the industry and drive the high-quality development of the upstream and downstream industrial chains.
Judging from the results, the future must be the era of the meta-universe, and intelligence will be a new challenge that traditional industries need to experience, just like cadillac CT6's deep cultivation in intelligent driving, constantly breaking through itself and meeting more challenges in order to win in the future.
