For the requirements of the big boss, Schwede and others naturally dare not ignore it, after all, the pattern and business vision of the big boss make these managers extremely admired, and the big boss is really very generous to Jaguar Land Rover's investment in research and development.

Other tycoons or investment institutions let the company bear a considerable part of the debt after acquiring the company, and the big boss did not let Jaguar Land Rover bear the debt at all after the acquisition of the company, and promised to provide the company with a loan of 5 billion pounds within three years, and then will provide more loans to support R&D investment.

Now the size of the enterprise has become more and more important in the automotive industry, which is why many companies choose the alliance, only in this way can they pool resources and use the scale effect to solve the problems of electrification and autonomous driving technology.

For a small company like Jaguar Land Rover, this challenge is particularly daunting, especially now that the financial tsunami is hit, many car manufacturers are mourning, and even several auto giants have gone bankrupt, the company can be supported by the Huaxing consortium with strong financial resources, which is really lucky.

Jaguar Land Rover has just signed the contract and now is also immediately launched the Jaguar Land Rover model officially introduced into the rabbit domestic program, now is to start to establish branches and sales channels in the country, the second half of the company will officially carry a variety of models to participate in the domestic auto show collective appearance, and then will open up the domestic market.

At the same time, Dr. Schweeder also initiated the plan to expand the R&D and manufacturing integration center at the headquarters, covering an area of more than 300 hectares and accommodating tens of thousands of R&D personnel.

The original Jaguar Land Rover headquarters building will not be demolished, but will retain the administrative structure, forming a complete industrial layout with the new manufacturing center.

If completed, the R&D and manufacturing center will enable the team of designers to produce 20 full-scale clay models at the same time.

The center also includes a 380-acre proving ground that simulates winters of minus 40 degrees Celsius in the Arctic and 55 degrees Celsius in the Middle Eastern deserts, as well as bench testing facilities for engines, transmissions, gearboxes and chassis that allow prototypes to complete 10-year, 240,000-kilometer life cycle testing in a matter of weeks without leaving the country.

The proving ground also includes a dedicated test track, where vehicles can drive all day on a four-lane emissions test loop or on a low-speed endurance loop. It can also test the performance of the vehicle on various road surfaces such as gravel and off-road to verify vehicle performance and reliability.

The proving ground has a full range of engineering and design offices and facilities and can accommodate 2,500 engineers.

The design and manufacturing center also includes an automotive electronics test department, where Jaguar Land Rover has only 4 electronic test platforms, and Schweder plans to grow to 19 test platforms, in order to ensure the safety of the vehicle, it is necessary to assume a variety of vehicle scenarios for virtual testing of the whole vehicle.

For example, when driving on the highway, the electronic brake anti-lock braking system fails, or the network cable is disconnected and the contact is poor, how will the whole vehicle react, and whether the car will start if the accelerator is not pressed and the start button is pressed.

Zhongyuan Automobile Group itself also has more than 20 such test platforms, a car has 70 to 100 black boxes, each black box is a controller, control a system, these systems from different technical departments of Huaxing Group or other suppliers, to confirm that these systems are compatible with each other is the core task of the electronic test laboratory.

Because Huaxing Group itself is a giant company in semiconductor, information technology and communication technology, there are a lot of electronic products on the automotive products of Zhongyuan Automobile Group Company, so many such electronic test platforms have been established very early, in order to make these systems compatible and reliable in various situations and ensure the quality of automotive products.

The labs of these experimental platforms are constantly crackling, and each platform is testing various software sent by the design department one after another, whether the button input order is different, whether the reversing radar is sensitive enough, and so on, testers need to input different data for virtual inspection.

It is precisely with these experimental platforms that the various systems of the automotive products launched by Zhongyuan Automobile Group are stable and reliable.

Yang Jie also expressed his support for Schwede's plan, and Huaxing Group will also provide Jaguar Land Rover with equipment for these platforms, which also saves some unjust money.

Although Yang Jie has always been stingy with these R&D investments, the money in the province still has to be saved, Huaxing Group itself is a variety of equipment giant companies, Jaguar Land Rover needs a variety of equipment itself can provide naturally will not be purchased from other manufacturers.

Because the number of electronic product test platforms in Jaguar Land Rover was very small, and the sales volume of the Land Rover brand was larger than that of the Jaguar brand, especially the Range Rover used the most automotive electronic products, and the electrical failures that had been complained about by customers before, as well as the failure of the entertainment system, was mainly due to this reason.

Jaguar Land Rover's automotive electronic products are mainly purchased from other manufacturers, and then integrate these subsystems themselves, but their own technical personnel in this area are not enough, the technical strength mastered in this regard is not enough, and it is inevitable that the matching between various systems will be incompatible, which is why in the world's major quality evaluation institutions, Jaguar Land Rover's two brands are ranked at the bottom.

John Bull's old foundation in machinery manufacturing is still there, and the quality of design, manufacturing and production of engine machinery is still very reliable, but now the engines are all required to match the engine's computer, and the degree of electronics is getting higher and higher, and John Bull has no company that can rank among the global auto parts suppliers except for a GKN group company involved in auto parts.

Moreover, John Bull's own car market is not large, and many of its own car brands have almost all been acquired by foreign capital, and the entire automobile industry can be said to be wiped out.

Jaguar Land Rover is now only the brand, the company's three factory production workshop technology backward resulting in low production capacity and high cost, even if Jaguar Land Rover styling charming, outstanding sports performance, especially Land Rover's hard-core off-road ability has few rivals, but all kinds of small problems continue, but there is no way to get more praise.

Before the completion of the design, R&D and manufacturing center of Jaguar Land Rover, Yang Jie also asked Jaguar Land Rover to launch all the new models to be launched to be temporarily sent to the test site of Zhongyuan Automobile Group for experimental testing, and all models will not be officially launched before passing the experimental test standards of Zhongyuan Automobile Group.

Yang Jie would rather let Jaguar Land Rover reduce production in the next few years, and first solve various internal problems before expanding production capacity.
