Chapter 145: The Auto Show Shows Its Might

The 2.0T engine of Pangu series PG30 was officially developed, and all the competitive pressure was thrown to the 6AT technology research and development team of Zhonghua Group, which was working hard.

Although the two sides maintained communication, it is an indisputable fact that they compete with each other in private.

The 2.0T and 6AT engines can be said to be the most critical R&D projects of Zhonghua Group in traditional fuel vehicles, as long as one of them is ensured, it can be invincible in the competition, and if it is a two-pronged approach, it is enough to stand in the ranks of leading big brothers in the automotive industry.

You must know that at present, even Toyota and General Motors have not launched their own turbo engines with T, and Volkswagen does not have its own AT transmission technology, in the context of the government's requirements for further reduction of emission standards, "T+AT" can be described as a golden combination of automotive power.

The two R&D teams of 2.0T and 6AT can be said to ask for money and people, and they are recognized as ace teams in China Automotive Research Institute. When the trump card meets the trump card, it is naturally a meeting like Mars hitting the earth, and both sides do not admit defeat and want to fight for the "first trump card".

It is said that the team leaders of the two sides had a gentleman's agreement a year ago to see who could turn the results into mass production advantages first, and the losing side would have to treat the other party to a delicious meal in public.

The 2.0T team benefited from the large number of original materials and local training teams accumulated by Pangu Engine, which has always adhered to independent research and development, while the 6AT team has the original finished product drawings provided by DSI and high-end R&D talents with international backgrounds to join.

While both Land Rover and Volvo engineers nodded at the new turbo engine, and the 6AT production was not yet out of the lab, it was clear that this time it was the 2.0T team that had won, and they had won this time.

"Alas, we didn't expect to change the rear-wheel drive design to the front-wheel drive design package, and the amount of work was so large that it exceeded our expectations. If it weren't for the pursuit of low fuel consumption, we would have completed the mass production and development of the 6AT long ago. ”

A senior engineer from the 6AT team couldn't help but sigh and said.

Losing to the 2.0T team, although there is no actual loss, it still makes everyone very unhappy, which is a sense of collective honor.

"If we want to beat them, we can only turn the tables on the 8AT! I believe that with the accumulation of 6AT, our 8AT road should be much easier.

But not to mention, it was the competition with them that allowed us to overcome many technical difficulties in one go, and in fact, we have to thank the other party for whipping us to improve.

It is estimated that in more than half a year, our 6AT should also be launched to meet the public. ”

Another colleague glanced at the data on the computer screen and replied indifferently.

"Do you say that at this North American auto show, the Korean Association agreed to put our 6AT on the table? Although there is no mass production, we can also make a big name in the town.

Let those foreign counterparts know that we Chinese are developing rapidly in automotive technology, and it is only a matter of time before we catch up with them. ”

Now when I go abroad, I find that the technology mastered by Zhonghua Group is still very good, and the employees are much more confident at the bottom.

"I don't know yet, look at what Mr. Han means!"

......

Participating in the Detroit Auto Show in North America, Han Hao did not plan to hide, which is a big stage to show the strength of China's auto industry.

"The 6AT transmission has also followed, and although it has not yet been mass-produced, it has reached 99% completion, which is basically completed.

People in developed countries have a sense of arrogance, that is, if you don't beat them in a dignified manner, the other party will not admit defeat from the bottom of their hearts.

As for us, we must not only be reasonable, but also present facts, and we must be tough on both sides to win respect, so that we can sell Chinese-made cars to them. ”

With a wave of Han Hao's hand, the new products of Zhonghua Group started a mighty journey to the United States.

When the organizing committee of the Detroit Auto Show heard that Chinese cars were coming to the exhibition, the first thought was that the God of Wealth was coming!

You must know that after the 08 subprime mortgage crisis, capital from China began to wave banknotes to purchase all over the world, and Chinese tourists have also become guests of global attractions, allowing everyone to see the power of the yuan. Of course, you have to exchange it for dollars before you use it, but Chinese tyrants and Chinese aunts are suddenly famous all over the world.

The Detroit Auto Show Organizing Committee is no stranger to the name China Group, which has swallowed Land Rover and Volvo in the past two years, and does not dare to do this without money in his pocket!

In particular, Zhonghua Group's announcement to enter the North American auto market has made American industry insiders full of curiosity and want to find out.

In order to better play the biggest gimmick of this auto show, the organizing committee deliberately gave the most central position to Chinese automobiles. Entering the exhibition hall from any direction, walking to the most central position is the Chinese automobile booth, such treatment can be described as painstaking, of course, it is indispensable to the Chinese generous handover of dollars so that it can not refuse.

"Han, I promise, you will definitely be crowded here by then! Even I will be waiting to see your products.

The thought of Chinese-made cars coming to the U.S. makes me excited that the U.S. market will welcome new players. ”

The chairman of the organizing committee of the auto show personally received Han Hao's arrival, and he said to the Chinese super-rich man with courtesy.

It can be expected that American audiences, whether they understand cars or not, will be very interested in cars from China to see what is sacred.

It's one thing to buy or not, but look at the head office, and see the lively mentality is common to people all over the world.

If there is more China Group, a major customer, and other Chinese auto companies will come in the future, the Detroit Auto Show will be able to increase a lot of revenue.

Auto shows need to be profitable, fresh and gimmicky to attract visitors.

"If it works out, we do not rule out signing a long-term cooperation agreement. To be honest, there has been a lack of Chinese cars present, and any auto show that claims to be a global international auto show is inferior by three points. ”

When China's economy rises and the automobile industry has become one of the maps of the global automobile industry, it is naturally qualified to say such things, and Han Hao's answer can be regarded as telling the truth.

Time passed day by day, and with careful preparation, the long-awaited Detroit Auto Show finally kicked off in January 2010.

Zhonghua Group's full line attacked, Zhonghua, Huaxia, Land Rover, Volvo brand side by side at the booth, and even Huaxia motorcycles were not absent, showing the style of China's automobile industry to the American people.

The Land Rover Evoque was one of the stars of the show, and the new compact SUV was unanimously praised by the audience for its floating body shape, and it will also start to be imported into the US market.

As for Volvo, which has not changed its model for a long time, it is a little embarrassing, and the main focus is the XC60 that was recently launched in 2008. However, they also unveiled a new generation of production concept car, and to everyone's surprise, Volvo took the XC60 as the first facelift model after entering the Chung Hwa Group.

It seems that the Chinese really do not play cards according to common sense, originally thought that the sedan S60 would be the main event, but did not expect the SUV to become a breakthrough.

No matter how good Land Rover and Volvo are, the stars of this Detroit Auto Show are undoubtedly the two major brands of China and China.

The Chinese "Qin", "Han", "Tang", "Song" and "Ming" series of models are unfolded in one word, plus Huaxia Hongguang, Tianshu 530, Dimensity 510, Luli 730, Lingyi sedan, and the newly added SUV flagship Tiefutu, forming the Great Wall of China's automobile industry, standing on American soil.

From motorcycles to automobiles, from fuel vehicles to new energy vehicles, from sedans to aspirated engines to turbocharged engines, from CVT transmissions to 6AT transmissions...... The Chinese took out the pressed box treasure and displayed it in one go, all of which were at the world's cutting-edge level, making the American audience dumbfounded.

This is different from the impression of Chinese cars!

Looking at the booth here, it seems that it is more powerful than American cars, are you in the wrong place?

"Zhonghua Group is China's largest private enterprise, in 2009 achieved sales of 4.03 million vehicles, an increase of 31% year-on-year, the group's sales revenue also broke a record of more than 410 billion yuan (about 60 billion US dollars), and achieved a net profit of 55.2 billion yuan......

The company continues to rank first in China's automobile sales market, and its products have entered more than 100 countries and regions around the world, and is expected to enter the top 120 of the world's top 500 list......"

On the large-screen TV, the English promotional video of Chunghwa Group was scrolled to introduce the new industrial giant from the other side of the Pacific to the audience of the auto show.

In terms of sales growth rate, Zhonghua Group deserves to be a big star in the global automotive industry, with an unparalleled growth rate of 31%, and other giants have a growth rate of less than 5%, but the Chinese have created a new miracle.

The huge Chinese auto market has absorbed most of the Chunghwa Group's production capacity, almost single-handedly fulfilling the high contribution responsibility, and China has begun to replace the United States as the world's largest auto market with 13.64 million sales. What's even more terrifying is that this car market has just been installed with engines, and it is expected that it may exceed the 20 million mark in five years.

Even the three major state-owned enterprises of FAW, FAW and SAIC Motor also achieved the best results in history last year with the help of the explosion of China's automobiles, each earning more than 20 billion yuan in net profit income. There is a certain gap with Zhonghua Group, but they are still catching up behind them, of course, it is their joint ventures that make great efforts.

In 09, Toyota continued to occupy the global auto sales throne, with sales of 7.81 million units and sales revenue of 204.3 billion US dollars, making it a huge enterprise. Compared with Toyota, Zhonghua Group's sales of half of Toyota's sales are only a quarter of the revenue, which is enough to show that the products are obviously in the middle and low end.

A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and the biggest competitor in Han Hao's eyes at the moment is Toyota, and he is looking forward to replacing it one day.

You must know that "the prince will have a kind of Xiangning", but the Chinese have shouted a slogan for more than 2,000 years.

Compared with ordinary spectators watching the Chinese-made models, industry insiders are more concerned about the newly released 2.0T turbo engine and 6AT transmission on the side.

They are paying more attention to this than in the field related to new energy vehicles, and even the demonstration of hybrid power cannot stop its pace.

New energy vehicles are the sunrise of tomorrow, but today it is still the power of traditional internal combustion engines, and it will take at least ten years to reach the other side of tomorrow.

Nowadays, 99.999% of the cars sold every year are traditional power, and new energy vehicles are only mascots for the time being, which is beyond reach.

If the Zhonghua Group did not threaten the status of the original auto giants too much in the past, then today's combination of "2.0T+6AT" makes them understand that the Chinese have caught up, and their original advantages have disappeared. In particular, with sales of 4.03 million units, Zhonghua Group continues to maintain an upward trend in the ranks of the top ten auto giants, and has come to sixth place from the goalkeeper position, directly threatening the three giants of Toyota, General Motors and Volkswagen.

"The Chinese are coming!"

This is no longer an empty phrase about the wolf.
