Recently, Skyworth, a well-known TV manufacturer in the mainland, launched its first plug-in hybrid model, Skyworth HT-i.
Looking at this name, everyone does not feel a little familiar, HT-i This and BYD's DM-i naming is like ah.
Because skyworth's new car power system is the BYD DM-i system.
The new car is equipped with BYD's 1.5L engine and EHS hybrid system powertrain, with a comprehensive endurance of 1267km, a pure electric endurance of 200km, and a fuel consumption of 5.3L for 100 km of feeder.
It seems that Skyworth in maintaining the excellent tradition of low fuel consumption in DMI, but also increased the pure electric endurance to 200km, can be described as blue out of blue and better than blue, still in line to buy Song PLUS friends what are waiting, buy Skyworth Ah.
Seeing this, do you think we are advertising skyworth?
I can solemnly answer you here.
Of course not.
I just want to take this opportunity to talk to you about the technology sharing between car companies.
In fact, technology sharing and technical cooperation have always existed in the automotive industry.
There are two main cases: one is the cooperation of multiple enterprises to produce a product. This is mainly manifested in the fact that one car company provides a platform architecture to design the core parts of a car's chassis, powertrain layout, etc.; another car company is responsible for the design of the appearance and interior of the vehicle.
Representatives of this model are: for example, the recently listed smart genie #1, he was provided by Geely to complete the core architecture design such as the chassis, and then Mercedes-Benz was responsible for the interior design of the exterior, and the earlier Denza was also manufactured by Mercedes-Benz and BYD in a similar way.
This model for cooperative car companies, not only save costs, but also learn the technology of others, a proper win-win situation, but there is a slight disadvantage to the brand produced by cooperation, after all, everyone will not want to buy a Mercedes-Benz with an auspicious heart.
However, this model is not the focus of our discussion today, the focus is on another model, the car company as a supplier, another car company to buy his core technology products for their own use. This model is far more common in car companies than the previous model.
For example, many sports car manufacturers now purchase the engines of large car groups, and then adjust them according to their own vehicle positioning; under the same car group, different brands use the power system used by the best-selling brands.
In the early development of mainland automobile companies, this model is more common, like the car companies that everyone can currently call the name, the original is basically the use of Mitsubishi engines.
This is mainly because the mainland automobile industry at that time was not developed, lack of technical accumulation options, but the problem that followed was that your car was easily controlled by others, after all, others did not supply you, your production could only stop.
Therefore, at that time, in order to solve this problem, various domestic car companies invested in the research and development of core technologies such as engines, initially through reverse mapping, and then to their own forward research and development.
The breakthrough of domestic car companies in the core components as a whole has allowed our auto products to slowly have the ability to break the wrist of international manufacturers in a reasonable price range.
However, from the perspective of this situation of Skyworth, this car-making model of purchasing other people's core technologies may re-emerge from the jianghu.
At this time, there may be friends who refute me, Sanniu, didn't you mention earlier that many sports car factories, big factories, etc. are still building cars like this? How to change to your own country Skyworth, you criticized?
Here we may pay attention to the fact that sports car manufacturers who will choose this way are because their products are niche products, sales are not high, and the cost of developing engines alone is too high.
Like the same group, the results of different brands using the mature technology of other brands have fully demonstrated to us that this way is not good, like Jaguar Land Rover, originally under the ford, the use of Ford's engine, but after the separation, Ford no longer provides it with the latest engine technology, so that Jaguar Land Rover for a long time, new products can only use old technology, product competitiveness fell sharply.
Volkswagen Group's Skoda was the strongest Czech car brand when it became independent, but after entering Volkswagen's full use of Volkswagen's engine and dual-clutch transmission, it has basically lost its research and development capabilities.
Sanniu personally believes that at present, all kinds of enterprises have begun to enter the car industry madly, it is advisable to accelerate the layout of their own products, but it is not advisable to ignore the accumulation of their own product technology.
Buying other people's core technologies is indeed an effective means to make their products quickly competitive, but in the current domestic automobile market, where competition has intensified, whether a car company has its own core technology has also become an important part of many consumer cars to measure whether car companies are reliable.
Although our country's layout of new energy is to hope that we can achieve overtaking in the corners on the new track, accelerating the product layout is indeed the key to improving the competitiveness of enterprises, but the car also needs to be precipitated, too eager to cut a short road, the result may not be ideal.
The road is still far away, and I hope that the kings will continue to walk slowly.
