On April 11, 2024, ARCFOX Motors held a Darwin 2.0 technology brand launch conference with the theme of "People-oriented, Pursuit of Perfection, and Sustainable Evolution" in Beijing. The conference focused on the three major aspects of safety protection, power performance, and vehicle intelligence, and covered seven major technical sectors, leading the continuous evolution of all scenarios and building industry-leading technical strength.
In the field of security protection, JiHu has launched the "Jidun" security technology and the "Jijing" health technology, providing users with comprehensive and efficient protection. Based on the six major security shields, Extreme Shield security technology has built a full-time and all-domain security protection system, realizing ultra-high computing power, full-scene early warning capabilities, and security design that far exceeds global standards. Officially, this technology performed well in the world's first 4-car 3-way serial crash test, and it can achieve second-level response after an accident. At the same time, JiHu has also achieved zero leakage in information security, provided financial-grade privacy protection, and integrated the security concept throughout the product life cycle, winning the CA-CAP devil test and body corrosion resistance platinum rating.
In terms of health, the ultra-clean health technology takes five industry-first technologies as the core to create a comprehensive protection for users from respiratory health to contact health. Zero-aldehyde-free benzene adsorption and degradation technology, forward design simulation verification technology, maternal and infant antibacterial technology, antiviral air conditioning filtration technology and odorless anti-mite technology jointly create a clean and healthy environment in the car. This technology has achieved a leap from the 1.0 to 3.0 era in the field of in-vehicle health, making BAIC POLARFOX a leader in the industry.
The Darwin 2.0 technology system not only demonstrates the leading technical strength of BAIC ARCFOX, but also reflects its comprehensive display of the four values of sensitive insight, forward-looking wisdom, extreme technology, and warm protection. Compared with the traditional PPT concept, JiHu's innovative technology has become an advantage that users can really experience. Through this press conference, BAIC POLARFOX once again proved its leading position in the field of automotive technology, bringing users a safer, healthier and more intelligent travel experience.
In the field of performance, ARCFOX Motors organically integrates the advantages of new energy vehicles and traditional fuel vehicles through the "Aurora" battery, "Jifeng" power and "Lingyun" chassis, and pokes the deep concerns of every consumer who has a demand for performance. Aurora Battery has maintained a record of 0 spontaneous combustion since delivery. Everything stems from the full-time and all-domain safety protection provided by ARCFOX Motors in three extreme scenarios: battery knocking, torrential rain and flooding, and high-temperature spontaneous combustion.
The bottom of the battery is equipped with the original "Xuanwu armor" as standard, which uses aerospace-grade materials and processes to form 7 layers of protection, with a strength of 1500MPa, comparable to an armored car, and also takes into account the four major functions of insulation, heat preservation, heat conduction, and anti-corrosion, fully considering the complexity of the environment. In addition, Aurora Cell pioneered the "space capsule sealing" technology. The highly hydrophobic silicon-based material is selected as the substrate, with a hydrophobic rate of 97%, and no water enters under the conditions of 2 meters of water depth and 48 hours of submersion test, which can be called a submarine in the battery industry, far exceeding the industry average. Under the super protection of the Xuanwu armor and the sealing of the space capsule, no matter how complex the road conditions and environment encountered, the ARCFOX car can be driven with confidence.
The battery safety of ARCFOX Motors is not only that, the "fire blanket heat insulation" technology, which integrates the functions of resistance, sparseness and control, can always achieve only smoke and no fire, zero spontaneous combustion, and ensure personal safety. 20 processes, more than 6,000 control points. The quality control of near-zero defect battery cells makes it possible to drive ARCFOX cars with extra peace of mind when traveling through the north and south of the motherland. In addition, there is a full life cycle verification system and a 360 full-time butler to ensure the durability of ARCFOX Motors and protect every trip.
Jifeng Power: Extreme motor performance, surging power, long-lasting motor system
Through Jifeng Power, Jihu Motors can achieve the ultimate driving experience that is fast, stable, and comfortable.
Among them, for the understanding of "fast", Jihu Motors believes that there are at least two points.
