Yang Jie also agreed to Mazda's request in this regard, after all, now Mazda has become a holding subsidiary of Huaxing Group, and this company that is quite paranoid about technology research and development is still very in line with his spleen.

Mazda has been developing rotary engines for more than 40 years, and its technology in this area is indeed the world's first, and it is also their unique secret, and the rotary engine is very suitable for integration with generators as generators, and he also hopes that Mazda can maximize the potential of rotary engines.

And this hybrid system, of course, Zhongyuan Automobile Group can also be used.

The structure of the previous rotary engine is destined to wear out its edges, and the life of the cylinder parts is often shorter than that of ordinary engines, and the life of general rotary engines is only 9-130,000 kilometers.

Although the rotary engine has the working characteristics of small displacement and high speed, because its working principle is different from that of the reciprocating engine, when formulating the tax regulations on engine displacement, all countries in the world are multiplying the actual displacement of the rotary engine by 2 as its final displacement, and higher taxes also mean that the rotor will face more barriers and cannot be popularized on a large scale. It is all kinds of shortcomings that cause the rotary engine to not become the mainstream.

However, now Mazda has also changed its thinking, and the idea of the hybrid system developed is that the rotary engine will not directly participate in the wheel drive, but act as a generator to directly provide energy for the motor, while the rotary engine will operate more in a constant way as a range extender.

This solution allows the life and fuel consumption of the rotary engine to reach a very ideal state, but Mazda's technical strength in the technical fields such as generators, motors and battery packs is not enough, and these subsystems can only rely on other manufacturers, so it is difficult for the prototype developed before to be commercialized.

And the addition of extended-range engines and basic electric power, coupled with the inability to mass-produce, these prototypes cost between $5,000 and $10,000 more expensive than existing models, and if that's the case, many savvy consumers won't be able to accept it.

However, these are the strengths of Huaxing Group, after all, Huaxing Group has been investing heavily in this area for more than ten years, and Mazda is also very eager to get technical support for these products.

Of course, Yang Jie is not satisfied with the power of the extended-range engine developed by Mazda, after all, the power is only 28 kilowatts, which is unable to meet the power consumption needs of automobile motors, and he also instructed Kanai Seita to develop a set of generators that provide a maximum power of more than 100 kilowatts, and Huaxing Group will provide Mazda with high-performance permanent magnet motors and motors and battery pack product technology.

He hopes to be able to develop this hybrid system in the next few years, which will become the advantage of Mazda and Zhongyuan Automobile Group in hybrid vehicles in the next one or two decades, because the single-rotor range extender is very compact, which is also a major advantage of the rotary engine.

The lower the weight and the lower the loss of the rotary engine as a generator, the more efficient the whole system will be, and the space saved can be used to place more batteries, which is difficult to do with other engines.

Compared with conventional engines, Mazda's rotary engines are naturally excellent in noise control, and many passengers do not feel the engine running at all, because the center of gravity of the rotary engine does not shift like an in-line engine during the four-stroke work switching process, and it naturally runs more smoothly and quietly.

And this kind of generator is not only limited to the car itself, because it is easy to carry, and the power generation is also enough, such as home backyards, farms and various emergency occasions need to use the generator, this engine can come in handy.

After all, oil as the main energy source will continue for a long time in the future, and there will naturally be no shortage of such generators.

The simpler structural design of the rotary engine itself and the lighter weight than the traditional reciprocating engine are its biggest advantages, and there are still many people in the world who are haunted by the power system of the rotor structure and hope to re-emerge.

According to the report of Seita Kanai and others, the engine overhaul life of the rotary engine range extender has been increased to more than 200,000 kilometers because the engine speed is constant, and because the supercapacitor battery pack is equipped with a generator that does not need to work all the time, the engine life can be longer.

At present, in addition to the engine overhaul time developed by Zhongyuan Automobile Group Co., Ltd., the overhaul time can be 300,000 kilometers, and the performance of imported engines is the same, and other domestic engines will be overhauled at 160,000 kilometers.

The overhaul time of the rotary engine range extender developed by Mazda can reach more than 200,000 kilometers, which is enough.

Moreover, Mazda has achieved the ultimate in the technology of both fuel version of rotary engine and hydrogen rotary engine, and has also mastered a lot of technical patents in the development of hydrogen rotary engine, which can naturally be applied to the engine of Zhongyuan Automobile Group Company.

Speaking of Mazda, it is the world's top existence in terms of engine technology and transmission technology, not only the rotary engine, but also the transmission technology of Mazda is even more powerful than the Japanese Sanjie.

The technical team led by Hong Lei, general manager of the power system assembly company of Zhongyuan Automobile Group Co., Ltd., has caught up with those well-known automobile manufacturers in terms of engines, and has won in all aspects of the gearbox is more balanced, the product is stable and reliable, and compared with some foreign gearboxes, there is a lack of some technical highlights.

In order to develop the 8AT gearbox, the powertrain company also bought a lot of patents from abroad, and also found the world-famous automobile power technology development company Ricardo to help make later improvements.

If this gearbox is rated according to 100 points, Zhongyuan Automobile Group can get about 80 points.

Ricardo is one of the world's oldest engine and transmission design and manufacturing companies, with engineering expertise in engine control, electronics and software development, as well as the latest powertrains, with a strong and world-class experience in automotive and engine development technologies.

There are four of the most well-known companies like this in the world, and the design business of these companies is involved in the powertrain design and upgrading finalization of almost all car manufacturers at home and abroad.

Depending on the client, some projects are only responsible for the early conceptual design, while others are responsible for the entire project.

Just like business consulting firms like McKinsey & Company, these consulting firms do not run their own businesses, but they provide advice on the technical and commercial problems of the client companies, point out the problems, and propose solutions, but the work is still done by the OEMs themselves.

Thanks to the rapid progress of Huaxing Group's own high-precision machining and manufacturing strength over the years, the gearbox strength designed and produced by Huaxing Group is getting better and better, and now it has barely squeezed into the mainstream gearbox enterprises.

Although it has not reached the world's top level, it is completely sufficient, after all, Huaxing Group can be regarded as a half-way monk in gearbox technology, and it is very remarkable to be able to achieve the current level.

This time, Mazda can be completely included in the bag, Yang Jie also hopes to make good use of Mazda's technical patents and technical team on the gearbox to develop the world's top gearbox.
