Not long after the signing of the cooperation agreement with Tesla, another incident came to the door, which completely proved that Zhonghua Group has now become a multinational giant.

After all, last year's global sales exceeded 3 million, becoming the top 10 global auto companies for two consecutive years, and this momentum will continue to be maintained, with Land Rover and Volvo as the façade, Zhonghua Group can be said to have a strong position in the international automobile industry.

This is an invitation letter to invite representatives from the Chinese automotive industry to participate in a joint discussion of global automotive giants to discuss global standards for hybrid and electric vehicles.

Third-rate enterprises make products, second-rate enterprises make brands, and first-class enterprises set standards.

There is no doubt that Zhonghua Group has been recognized by international peers and is qualified to participate in the certification of the future development direction of automobiles.

One only has to look at which of the biggest auto giants are in attendance to see how high the level of discussion is when it comes to hybrid and electric vehicles.

Toyota took the lead, Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Renault-Nissan, General Motors, Ford, Hyundai-Kia, and finally the Zhonghua Group from China participated in the meeting, basically monopolizing the global mainstream automobile market.

Of course, the other two heavyweights, Volkswagen and PSA Peugeot Citroën, are missing the other two heavyweights, which have invested heavily in diesel engines for corporate reasons, lack of results in the field of hybrid and electric vehicles, and do not want to join the negotiation standards led by Japanese companies.

In fact, the absence of Volkswagen and Peugeot Citroen will not have much impact, because eight companies, including the Chunghwa Group, are enough to form a monopoly mainstream, and the United Nations will also revise the world standard for automobiles on this basis.

Zhonghua Group sent two technical cadres, Zhao Quanfu and Xiong Fanxing, to lead a team to attend the meeting, to exchange and discuss with foreign giants on the spot, so as to draw a new global automotive industry standard.

"Everyone is competing for standards, who makes it first, establishes the industry standard, and can have more say in the later stage and not be controlled by others. ”

On his flight to the United Nations headquarters, Zhao Quanfu was very clear about this truth.

In the conference hall of the United Nations Headquarters, representatives from the eight major automotive companies will gather for several rounds of discussions to negotiate and agree on the new technical standards they have nominated.

The meeting was chaired by a UN official, who of course acted only as a facilitator, and it was the representatives of the world's eight major auto giants who came to the final conclusion.

When Zhao Quanfu and Xiong Fanxing led the Chinese team into the conference room, they found that they were the last delegates to arrive, and they quickly found a place belonging to the Zhonghua Group on the round table, because there was not only a five-star red flag but also the logo of the Zhonghua Group on the table.

After taking their seats, all the delegates found that Asian faces occupied half of the seats in the venue, and Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai and Zhonghua Group were all auto giants from Asia.

No wonder Asia has become the fastest growing region in the world, as can be seen from this round table alone, the UN official in charge of presiding over the meeting thought to himself.

Thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river.

Who would have thought that the Chinese market, which has always been regarded as an automobile colony by multinational companies, would emerge as a new giant that could sit down with everyone and make the Zhonghua Group seem to be a miracle of development.

This conference is more like a technical achievement exchange conference, and the participants have come up with their own company's research and development of the new power system of the car to explain, and at the same time exchange with each other about the success or failure.

Since only Toyota and Chunghwa Group have successful experience in mass production of hybrid and electric vehicles, the meeting focused more on the standards of the Chinese and Japanese solutions.

Speaking of hybrids, Toyota's THS is unique in the world, you must know that the Prius has been mass-produced on the road ten years ago, so this time the industry standard for hybrid power is basically Toyota's first look.

It can be said that Honda's IMMD and Chunghwa Group's ZHS non-plug-in hybrid system both call Toyota's THS the big brother.

This non-plug-in hybrid type of petrol-electric (HEV) has proven to be a viable solution, and Honda's new model Insight and Chunghwa Group's "Han" have both been tested for nearly half a year and have performed very well on the road.

In addition to Toyota's years of accumulated data, even Zhonghua Group has also given very good results to support, and other companies have also analyzed and studied this in the laboratory, so Toyota's THS petrol-electric hybrid derived from the HEV hybrid has taken the lead in becoming the industry standard unanimously agreed by the eight giants.

However, in another major hybrid system, the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) proposed by the China Group is facing a lonely situation.

"After our actual testing, the plug-in PHEV version has better acceleration performance than HEV, and the range is not inferior, and the large-scale application of charging piles will be a bridge to the future. No one can deny that BEVs (battery electric vehicles) are the future, and PHEVs should be the ideal bridge to the transition to HEVs. ”

Xiong Fanxing fully analyzed the problem from a strategic perspective when he pushed Zhonghua Group's own plug-in PHEV standard.

Compared with Toyota's HEV, the plug-in system of PHEV is more like a future new energy vehicle, and HEV is still dominated by internal combustion engines.

"I would like to ask, how many kilometers can your PHEV last without gas?"

The representative from General Motors raised his hand to ask the Chinese side questions.

"Theoretically it can reach 50 kilometers, but in practice it is in the early 30 kilometers. ”

Xiong Fanxing replied without hesitation based on the existing data.

"Oh-"

Representatives of other car companies shook their heads, and it seemed that they were not satisfied with such an answer.

In their view, plug-in PHEVs are more symbolic than practical. For such a mileage, there is also a feeling that the gains outweigh the losses.

"Short range now does not mean insufficient mileage in the future, we know that we are more thinking about the transition between the two eras, many consumers want to experience electric vehicles but are afraid of running out of power and breaking them down halfway, this plug-in PHEV model can solve their biggest concerns. I think it should be one of the promotion criteria, allowing consumers to vote with their feet on who to choose. ”

Large-scale mass production of the plug-in PHEV model only started in China, so foreign auto giants were indifferent to this, Xiong Fanxing couldn't help but say loudly when he saw this.

The real reason is not how well the plug-in PHEV model performs, but that the China Group has taken the lead in this field, while other international giants are still only in the laboratory stage, and they do not want the Chinese to go ahead. You must know that Toyota's THS system has only begun to be recognized by everyone after 10 years, and now the data of Zhonghua Group is not enough to convince everyone.

"Compared with HEVs, PHEVs are not mature in many fields and have not been verified by large-scale practice data.

We believe that PHEVs can be a research direction, but it is still too early to become an industry standard.

However, PHEVs can be written into a new direction of development, and everyone can explore it on their own, and as for the industry standard, it can be discussed in a few years. ”

Toyota representatives came forward to speak, and they meant to put aside the plug-in PHEV standard proposed by the Chinese, in addition to maintaining their own THS system.

Undoubtedly, such a proposal was agreed by the other seven giants, and the plug-in PHEV standard of the Chunghwa Group was coldly treated.

Next is another highlight, the pure electric BEV system, which is the direction that all car companies are focusing on research and development.

Similarly, due to the large-scale mass production of practical BEV buses in China, as well as the newly launched "Han" BEV model, Xiong Fanxing once again took the podium.

"BEVs are the future, and we use a ternary lithium-ion battery control system that allows for fast charging and improved battery stability......

The starting performance of the vehicle is much better than that of the internal combustion engine, and the driving stability can be compared to that of a conventional car. Many Chinese people are reluctant to take BEV buses because they drive smoothly and have no odor......

The establishment of high-speed charging piles solves the problem that everyone is most concerned about the charging time, and there is no situation that affects vehicle scheduling due to charging in our practical application, and it is also comparable to ordinary fuel vehicles in vehicle maintenance......

The main cost is the high price of lithium batteries, which makes BEV cars have to rely on massive government subsidies to survive......"

Among the countries in the world, only China is the first country to mass-produce pure electric BEV vehicles on the road, so when Xiong Fanxing explained, representatives of other car companies listened quietly to the experience from China.

In the case of pure electric vehicles, the car companies present in the general direction of BEV are not opposed, but what kind of battery materials should be used and what standards should be used for charging piles are the existence of endless debate.

It can be said that China's BEV experience has made everyone very excited, but due to its own pure electric research and development results, the standards given by Zhonghua Group still lack practical explanations, so the other seven giants still have not agreed to incorporate Chinese standards into international standards.

The real reason is the same as PHEV, the Chinese are ahead, and other countries cannot be led by the China Group, at least until everyone gains something in this field to reach an agreement.

In the end, after bargaining, the eight giants present at the meeting issued a joint statement:

It was agreed that the automotive industry will enter the new energy era, and will officially begin to popularize hybrid system vehicles in 2015, among which the gasoline-electric HEV created by Toyota Motor will become the industry promotion standard. In addition, they agreed to invest in research and development in the direction of PHEVs and BEVs for the advancement of human mobility, and to formulate global industry standards for BEVs at an appropriate time in the future.

The United Nations will also revise the global new automotive standards based on the conclusions of this meeting.

It seems that the Chinese are the biggest frustrations, because the Zhonghua Group sits on the three major standards of HEV, PHEV and BEV, but can only make a wedding dress for Toyota.

"At least our ZHS non-plug-in system has gained international recognition and can be put into commercial use without modification or burden. Other companies have to work hard under the guidance of the new standards, and you don't see that Koreans are the worst looking, they are the biggest frustrations, because their neighbors have surpassed them. ”

On the way back to China, Zhao Quanfu communicated with Xiong Fanxing about going abroad to participate in the formulation of industry standards.

"That said, at least we still tried to write PHEV into the joint statement, and there is the influence of us Chinese. ”

It seems that PHEV still has to rely on the Chinese themselves to push, and other international counterparts will not invest in this field for the time being. Xiong Fanxing still has confidence in PHEVs because they are in line with China's national conditions. (https:)
