This summer, the most Chinese-savvy MPV expert, GAC Trumpchi, took the Trumpchi Zhidian New Energy E9 and went abroad to officially put it into scientific research in the Arctic under the name of "China's Antarctic and Arctic Investigation Designated Vehicle". At the same time, the direct drive to the global new energy vehicle hinterland officially opened the first long-term test across Europe and Asia in the history of China's new energy MPV in Norway.
On August 29th, Trumpchi E9 returned to Guangzhou to hold the closing ceremony of the Trumpchi Zhidian New Energy E9 Arctic Qi Trail and Eurasia Thousand Miles Long Test, sharing with everyone the "Qi" trail journey of the Arctic scientific expedition, sharing the interesting insights and anecdotes through the five countries of Europe and Asia, and drawing a successful end to the "Qi" trail journey.
What does E9 rely on to go to the Arctic with such "great effort"?
With the intensification of global warming, Arctic glaciers are melting at an accelerated rate, and the living environment of polar bears is deteriorating day by day, and it is urgent to protect the Arctic. As a member of the world's automobile brands, GAC Trumpchi has the responsibility and obligation to make efforts and contribute to the Arctic ecology.
The Trumpchi E9, which participated in the Arctic scientific expedition, is GAC Trumpchi's first new energy MPV product based on 14 years of intelligent hybrid technology accumulation and "XEV+ICV" dual-core strategy 2.0, with a cumulative bench verification time of more than 100,000 hours, and has successfully passed strict verification such as high temperature, high humidity, high cold, and high corrosion. Its 25.6kWh capacity magazine battery can also adapt to the ultra-wide temperature range of -30°C to 60°C, and has 5 layers of safe and efficient protection, which ensures endurance and performance in extremely low temperature environments like the Arctic, while maintaining higher safety.
At the same time, the Trumpchi E9 is equipped with a unique 2.0TM intelligent electric system in the same class, which has a comprehensive range of 1032km under WLTC conditions, 136km in CLTC conditions, and 6.05L/100km in WLTC feed, which can bring excellent convenience to the mainland polar expedition team to carry out scientific investigation.
Mr. Huang He, a representative of Autohome, also shared the story behind embarking on the polar research journey with the Trumpchi E9 at the closing ceremony, and said, "The harsh environment of the polar scientific expedition has extremely high requirements for the quality of the vehicle, and how to choose a qualified polar research vehicle has become a problem. The emergence of Trumpchi E9 is the perfect opportunity. Its outstanding safety, long battery life, new energy, low consumption and environmental protection advantages are very in line with the requirements of this polar scientific expedition. ”
Thanks to the differentiated leading edge of "Ning, Energy, Wisdom and Yuan" and the blessing of China's strongest three electric technologies, Trumpchi E9 has attracted much attention since it held a listing conference at the Great Hall of the People on May 21 and was awarded as the "Designated Car for China's Antarctic and Arctic Expedition" by the China Polar Research Center, with a cumulative sales of nearly 7,000 units in less than three months on the market, ranking in the forefront of new energy MPVs.
In addition, on June 19 this year, Trumpchi E9 also stood out from nearly 1,400 models, and won the "C-class plug-in hybrid MPV champion" and "2023 China Automotive Low-carbon Leader Model" with the lowest carbon emission level in its class and lower than the industry average of 16.9%.
Low-carbon environmental protection attributes have been authoritatively certified, and E9 supports China's environmental protection cause with strength and sufficient confidence.
Self-driving across five countries in Europe and Asia, the whole process of long-term testing "0" failure
Back in July, Trumpchi E9 set off a "abroad" boom.
On the one hand, Meng Qingjia, a senior media person, drove E9 from Beijing, all the way west, passing through 20 cities in Europe and Asia, and finally arrived at Tromsø, Norway, known as the "City of Auroras", and encountered the beauty of the aurora at 69° north latitude in the Arctic Circle.
On the other side, two senior media people, the car man Lao Xu and the car doudou, started from Oslo, Norway, traveled east, passing through Sweden, Finland, and then to Russia and Kazakhstan, and finally drove 1000+ kilometers back to the motherland, completing the first long-term test in the history of China's new energy MPV.
As the witnesses of this Eurasia long-term test, the autobots Lao Xu, Meng Qingjia, and Chedoudou also shared what they saw and heard along the way.
Among them, the car man Lao Xu said that under the attack of thousands of miles, the quality of Trumpchi has always been noticed, and the average energy consumption of Trumpchi E9 is 6.5L/100km, "Say hello abroad, directly say I am Chinese, this is a Chinese car." ”
Meng Qingjia shared his experience of the E9 driving mode on the spot, saying that the "power preservation" mode of the E9 made him deeply impressed during use. When preparing to go to the gas station, you can open the power preservation mode 10-20 kilometers in advance, adjust to the highest, and let the battery be charged to the maximum in advance during driving, about 68-70 kilometers (that is, the battery power is 64%-66%), and then at the same time of refueling, you can charge the battery, and when the oil is full, the oil and electricity will be "fed", killing two birds with one stone.
For example, the car mobile phone card slot of E9 is vertically designed, which is more in line with the habits of Chinese people compared to other brands of horizontal card slots, and the "one-key SPA" mode of the second row of seats is very friendly to women and can relieve the fatigue of long-distance travel. "I have to say that Trumpchi really deserves to be the MPV expert who knows the Chinese best."
At the same time, she also mentioned that on a narrow one-way road from Russia to Kazakhstan, "fortunately, E9 has intelligent avoidance and front and rear collision warning functions, and the dashboard quickly shows that Mr. Xu stepped forward, and we avoided being hit by the milk truck behind and avoiding a car accident." ”
In this Eurasia long-term test, Trumpchi E9 has become a "net celebrity check-in item" for foreign friends, and everywhere it goes, it is frequently watched and praised by many parties. In Norway, some people think that the E9 is worth a million and want to buy one on the spot; In Sweden, when a tram owner heard that the E9 lasted 1000+, he expressed envy and was "tired" on the spot; In Russia, there is a Trumpchi 4S store owner who hopes to import E9 and said that if E9 comes to Russia, it will definitely sell well.
Not only that, E9 was also invited by the Norwegian Electric Vehicle Industry Association for in-depth exchanges, the secretary general of the association said that "I like to massage in the car the most", but also highly recognized the E9's intelligent network and rich luxury comfort experience, believing that E9 highlights the capabilities of Chinese manufacturers and represents China's forefront position in digital media solutions. It is really a reverse export of Chinese car culture, which is very in place.
In addition, Trumpchi E9, as the product intelligently created by MPV experts who understand Chinese best, naturally understands the logic of Chinese people "not only want horses to run, but also want horses not to eat grass". So, the Trumpchi E9, who returned to China, challenged not to lose the quality of travel (air conditioning 26°C, four people full of luggage, heated front and rear seats), driving 1,000 kilometers from Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan, to Almaty, the city closest to the mainland border. In the end, with a tank of fuel driving 1057.5 kilometers and a fuel consumption of 5.5L per 100 kilometers, he successfully completed the challenge.
In fact, Trumpchi E9 has only been on the market for more than 3 months and is still being tested by the market. However, the Trumpchi Zhidian New Energy E9 Arctic Traces and Eurasia Thousand Miles Long-term Test is an extreme test conducted by GAC Trumpchi from high-frequency consumer use scenarios such as daily life and long-distance travel to extreme environments such as the Arctic, which not only fully proves the world-class product quality of Trumpchi E9, but also the confidence and confidence given by "China MPV experts" to win the first place in the market share of Chinese brand MPV and gain nearly 480,000 user bases, and it is also the epitome of GAC Trumpchi's active transformation into a new energy technology enterprise, and it is also an inspirational guardian of the North Pole.
