The "spring cold" caused by the epidemic has greatly affected the automotive industry chain, especially in Shanghai.

According to the China Automobile Association, the overall production of mainland vehicles in 2021 exceeded 26 million, of which 2.833 million were from Shanghai, but in the past April, it seems that all the links were not going well. Personnel control, logistics delays, supply chain disruptions, and closed production management are all adding difficulties to the automotive industry and one of the most important pillars of Shanghai's economy.

As the sun rises in Shanghai, the Cadillac LYRIQ project team has never pressed the "pause button." On May 6, LYRIQ's first pre-production vehicle rolled off the production line at SAIC-GM's Cadillac plant, marking that LYRIQ conducted the final stage of commissioning and verification of the production link before mass production, which also means that Cadillac is continuing to move forward with the clarion call of Shanghai's automotive industry' recovery.

The closest to actual combat

It is difficult to build an excellent new energy vehicle, and under the epidemic situation, it is even more difficult to resume work and production to complete the pre-production of a new new energy vehicle.

Some brands talk about intelligence, some brands talk about driving control, some brands talk about ideals and the future, new energy vehicles in this era have been given the meaning of beyond travel, it is known as the third space in addition to home, the company these two residences, its birth subverted many cognitions, but whether it is the change of driving mode or the gradual understanding of technology, the control of quality is the bottom line of the automotive industry to judge whether a car is excellent or not, which is also one of the meanings of pre-production.

Pre-production is the most critical link in the localization process of LYRIQ, if the mass production link is actual combat, then pre-production is to strive for excellence and do the closest to the actual battle.

During this toughest month of April, LYRIQ started full-link validation at the Cadillac plant in the final stage of pre-mass production. In the production stage, it has carried out a full range of practical optimization of the production line process to ensure that it meets the standards of mass production, that is, every LYRIQ that comes down from the production line in the future, its entire production process has been tested by practice on this day as feasible.

At the same time, at this stage, LYRIQ has also continuously improved the quality stability of parts and vehicles. In this environment, the quality of parts and vehicles maintains a high degree of consistency with the settings and data of the production links, and the synchronization rate is the highest, laying a solid quality foundation for luxury quality.

The matching of parts and logistics supply has been verified, and the automotive logistics supply chain is an extremely complex system engineering, which is a precision industrial product composed of thousands of parts and components, which cannot successfully complete the production process without any link, and can complete the corresponding verification in April, which also shows the importance of the main engine factory to LYRIQ and the introduction of resources behind it, as well as confidence.

Personnel is also a key part, in the pre-production link, LYRIQ completed the improvement of the skills of production operators, each individual in each link of the small efforts, and finally let LYRIQ's vehicle process adjust to the optimal state.

At the same time, the work of vehicle durability testing and other work is also continuing, and the completion of various work in the epidemic is to explore a dangerous situation that no one has ever stepped into, to compete for persistence, to compete for resilience, to compete for accumulation, to compete for heritage, and more importantly, to compete for confidence.

Looking forward to it, and worth the wait

According to the official disclosure, LYRIQ is continuing to carry out the functional test of the whole vehicle in the production stage, and we can feel the many surprises that this luxury new energy vehicle will bring in advance from all aspects.

The most important thing is the localization adaptation of the VCS intelligent cockpit.

The LYRIQ is cadillac's first model to feature a new generation of VCS virtual cockpit system, which integrates the most advanced hardware configurations and will be widely used in other new cars such as Cadillac, Buick, Chevrolet and other new cars in the coming days.

The resolution of the 33-inch retina curved screen reaches 8960 * 1320, which means that its lateral resolution exceeds all the 8k displays you can see at present (7680 * 4320), it is the most critical interactive unit of this intelligent mobile terminal, the visual part of the cockpit as the core solution will reach the perception of consumers through it, and it is also a key part of the comfort and intelligence of this third space, you can even play 4K HD movies on this screen, As well as enjoying more audiovisual entertainment features, I think, very few people can refuse the temptation of large screens.

LYRIQ according to the previous news, will be equipped with AKG 7.1 channel 19 speaker hi-fi audio, audio rating up to 1400W, speaker panels are all made of aluminum, of which 4 speakers will be arranged in the main co-pilot headrest position, the advantage is that it not only provides a better surround sound effect for the front seater, the main driving position can also play the navigation voice alone, will not disturb the leisure and relaxation of the whole car occupants.

The new generation of Super Cruise Super Assist System China Road Test and Driver Assistance System China Road Test are also underway, which is the previous exciting localization test of driver assistance systems. This system is known as the real let-go driving assistance system, not only can achieve more intelligent driving assistance, in rain and fog weather and other low visibility, but also with centimeter-level high-precision maps and high-precision GPS positioning, there is more accurate information to provide information on road conditions, so as to make driving safer, which is also the biggest significance of the driving assistance system.

At the same time, Guangde vehicle endurance test, vehicle 5G module test, charging integration test and other links will jointly lay a solid foundation for the follow-up safe and high-quality production and operation.

Under the epidemic, the headwinds charge

In the new round of revolution in the automobile industry, new energy and intelligent network connection is the decisive victory, Shanghai is the automobile manufacturing base, but also the new energy manufacturing base, the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Information Technology announced the first batch of 666 enterprises to resume work and production of automobile OEMs and parts manufacturing enterprises are very large, SAIC-GM is also one of the first batch of "white list" enterprises to resume work and production, naturally also to reflect the due responsibility.

Strict management according to requirements, closed production, the sense of urgency of the epidemic and the urgency of production and manufacturing pressure make every enterprise that resumes work and production more need to practice internal skills, cooperate with the government and other social organizations, and actively pull the supply chain, which is also an example that SAIC-GM needs to make.

I think that the off-line of the LYRIQ pre-production car and the test verification of each link are exactly a successful answer sheet handed over by SAIC-GM, and the production of excellent products under the risk and crisis can reflect the strongest organizational strength, such a perfect answer sheet makes people have more information about LYRIQ's subsequent safe and high-quality production and operation, and also makes people look forward to the upcoming luxury pure electric journey!
