The trend of Gree Electric is just a trivial matter for Han Hao, he faithfully fulfilled the role of a strategic investor, but did not ask about the company's operation, after all, people's energy is limited, and doing a good job in the main business of Zhonghua Group's automobile is its focus.

As long as the Zhonghua Group does not fall, even if the current "Gree" falls, there will be more other "Gree" emerging one after another.

Since the launch of the group's internationalization and diversification, Han Hao's time in the front line has been greatly reduced. Rather than traveling around the world by private jet, he prefers to stay in the company, especially in the automotive research institute, to watch the progress of various project tests. Every time a new project makes a breakthrough, especially the finalization of a new model, it is his excitement.

After sending Miss Dong away, Han Hao prepared to take a trip to the Automobile Research Institute on a whim to see how his company's key projects were progressing.

As half an automotive expert, Han Hao's current most important concern is, of course, the company's all-out investment in the AT transmission project. Compared with the 6AT at the Detroit Auto Show at the beginning of the year, which was 99% complete, the 100% completed 6AT transmission has quietly completed the mass production preparation after the continuous improvement of Chinese and foreign engineers.

When Han Hao walked into the floor of the AT project, the engineers were analyzing the prototype that had just been disassembled from the test vehicle. This 6AT prototype, which has followed the test vehicle all over the north and south of China's rivers and has been tested by various road conditions, has completed 100,000 kilometers of road tests in good working condition.

There are 16 more production test teams that set off with the same batch as them, and they will continue to run on the road, and they will attack 15 to 200,000 kilometers.

Wiggins, who was born in DSI, is the head of research and development of the AT project, and when he accepted the invitation of the Chinese, he saw a promising platform.

After coming to Jiangzhou, he got everything he needed here, especially high-quality talents at his disposal, and the AT project continued to advance at a rapid pace.

"Our 6AT has achieved the expected results both in bench tests and in actual road tests. In the horizontal comparison test of the bench, there are two competing 6AT products on the market with different degrees of oil leakage, but our product remains in excellent condition.

If there is one shortcoming, it is that there is no mass production that has passed the test of the market. Next, it is up to the Chinese consumers to score them personally!"

Wiggins touched his shiny forehead and said that the days of working overtime in the past had made his hair much less.

According to his meaning, it means that the 6AT has reached the mass production standard and can be officially launched to the market.

"How well does it match the 2.0-liter engine?"

2.0T+6AT is the golden power in Han Hao's heart, so he is very concerned about this issue. In the future, Land Rover and Volvo will be the main luxury brands, not to mention the two major brands of China and Huaxia that take the medium and low route.

"In our tests, the 1.8T engine power performed better. It may be that because the 2.0T engine tuning still needs a lot of data to improve, the matching degree of the 6AT is not perfect. However, there is no problem with normal use, but the smoothness of the gear shift is lacking, after all, both are new products, and they need to be continuously evolved through actual mass production data. ”

In front of Han Hao, Wiggins was blunt, and he knew that the boss preferred to hear the truth.

Although the 2.0T engine has attracted a lot of attention, it is indeed not as good as the 1.8T that has been tested by the market as soon as it was launched.

The PG30 codenamed 2.0T engine has been installed on a small scale on the Chunghwa Group's flagship SUV "Tang", and the CVT transmission has maintained the matching responsibility until the 6AT is not mass-produced.

The 2.0T engine is the star product of Zhonghua Group's external publicity, and before the 6AT is mature, Han Hao directly matches the CVT on it.

Judging from market feedback, the performance of 2.0T+CVT is average.

This is mainly due to the fact that the CVT has a slippage of steel belts and tapered wheels when starting, which is especially noticeable on high-horsepower engines.

Often one foot on the accelerator to the end, the engine roars and does not go up, the power does not come up, the acceleration is very poor, like an old lady climbing a hill slowly, and it is impossible to give full play to the power advantage of 2.0T.

Because of this, although the 2.0T engine of the PG30 has been officially installed and mass-produced by Zhonghua Group, the number of actual flows to consumers is limited.

"It's great to be able to do it, and I'm patient enough to wait for it to grow. But it's the same 2.0T engine, is your 6AT better or CVT better?"

Although it is also under the Chunghwa Group, there is obviously a competitive relationship between the AT and CVT teams, and Han Hao allows such healthy competition.

Although the CVT team has contributed to the development of Zhonghua Group's automobiles, the addition of AT has made them feel a deep crisis.

You must know that although CVT can now be tied with 6AT, CVT seems unable to compete with the technological frontier of 8AT and even 10AT. The AT transmission has already won the CVT in theory, and it is no wonder that Han Hao attaches so much importance to the development of the AT.

"Although the 6AT is not well matched with the 2.0T engine for the time being, the realization of the 6AT is still much better than the CVT when placed on the same engine.

We have enough data to support the conclusion.

In addition, our 8AT concept has already been designed, and if we can get enough actual data from the 6AT, it will take a third of the time to land than expected. In other words, in two years, we will be able to mass-produce the new 8AT, and then the 10AT will come out. ”

Being able to lead the evolution of the AT transmission is also a great joy for Wiggins.

At present, the 6AT is just about to enter the mainstream automotive market, but ZF and Aisin have announced the completion of the design of the 9AT and 10AT respectively, and the future transmission race has been sounded.

"Keep refueling and you'll get all the resources you need to complete your 10AT goal. ”

At present, Zhonghua Group is already sailing against the current, and it must compete with international giants at the forefront of technology, otherwise it will be eliminated by the other party.

China's auto market has ushered in an era of explosion, and the dividends of family car purchase are enough for all automakers to get a piece of the pie. As long as you can build a car on four wheels, no matter what brand you are, as long as the price is in place, there will be Chinese consumers who will dare to buy it.

In the case of the dominance of the Zhonghua Group, the original "three big and three small" state-owned enterprises, and even the rising stars Great Wall Motors and JAC Motors can eat well, and even Zotye Automobile, which has never been in the stream, can mix well, which is enough to show the huge size of China's automobile market.

But this situation will not last long, and it will take up to 10 years to rely on the dividends of the Chinese market. If you don't improve your strength as soon as possible during this period of time, and compare yourself with international giants, you will be eliminated by the times.

At the beginning of the last century, there were dozens of auto manufacturers in the U.S. auto market, and then after fierce competition, only three major auto groups remained. China now has hundreds of large and small car factories, but there are only a few car brands in the early 20s, and it is foreseeable that sooner or later they will re-embark on the road of American automobile development, and only a handful of auto groups will be left after fierce fighting.

Unlike the United States, China is now facing the background of global economic integration, all the international auto giants have entered China, and the auto market is the most competitive place in the world. Fortunately, the Chunghwa Group has risen, otherwise it is likely that the competition will end in the end, and the car brands with the Chinese imprint will gradually disappear, leaving only many joint venture brands to dominate the world.

Judging from the current situation, only FAW Hongqi, SAIC Roewe, Changan, and Great Wall Motors have the hope of rising and becoming local comrades-in-arms fighting side by side with Zhonghua Group. Because they have started their own brand R&D investment, they have a certain strength to compete in the market.

But their opportunities are limited, because once Zhonghua Group continues to grow, it will definitely squeeze the development space of other independent brands. Now the Chinese market has increased enough to allow them to have a reasonable space for self-growth.

If Zhonghua Group wants to fight a bayonet war with a joint venture brand in the Chinese market, then there will definitely be a large group of victims, and the weaker independent brands must bear the brunt.

Many scholars believe that the rise of the Zhonghua Group is both a blessing and a misfortune for China's auto industry.

After leaving the AT project team, Han Hao deliberately went to the CVT project team in the building across the road.

In his mind, the CVT project team will remain, but the strategic importance will be reduced. In the future, CVTs will be mainly supplied to mid- and low-end models, mainly with small-displacement engines. After all, the weakness of belt slippage and slow acceleration has always existed since its inception.

Although CVT is still the main shipment force of Zhonghua Group, everyone knows that AT technology has won tomorrow, and the change of power seems to be a sure fact.

Unexpectedly, when I walked into the R&D center of CVT, I found that it was still hot, and I didn't expect the morale to be low.

Xia Cheng is the head of the CVT R&D team, and he is concentrating on what the team members are discussing, until the people around him remind him of the arrival of his boss Han Hao.

Xia Cheng, the representative of the foreign faction who settled in Jiangzhou after marriage, is a leader among the people who have returned to China for development, and many overseas technical talents have taken him as an example and saw a bright future of working in China.

"It just so happened that I was looking for you to report to work in the past two days, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative to come to the door. ”

With excitement on his face, he could see that Xia Cheng was in a high mood, as if he had some good news to share with Han Hao.

He didn't wait for Han Hao to respond, he directly pulled the boss to the workbench, spread out a design sketch with his hand, and couldn't wait to show the new results in front of Han Hao.

can lead the Zhonghua Group to the end, Han Hao is also half an expert in the field of technology, at least he can see the clues at a glance in the design drawings in front of him.

This is a newly constructed CVT transmission design drawing, which should be the new work of Xia Cheng's team. Han Hao took a closer look and found that there was an additional set of devices at the position of the main gear, and the attached page also focused on showing the specific structure of the new device.

"Okay, you guys, hurry up and introduce me!"

In front of many technical experts on the scene, Han Hao did not ask them to announce the answers.

"Xiao Xu, tell me about your own invention plan!"

When Xia Cheng heard this, he pointed to a young man in the team next to him and asked him to come forward and introduce himself to the boss.

Being able to show his face directly in front of Han Hao made many other engineers very envious, and at the same time, they also had a better understanding of the mind of the supervisor Xia Cheng.

"This part of the new design is my ...... I was inspired by the AT transmission......"

Although he was not stage frightened, the sudden opportunity to speak still made the young engineer named Xiao Xu feel a little nervous.

You Xu is a new member of the CVT team, who has just graduated less than a year ago, and after graduating from the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Jiaotong University, he was directly recruited into Zhonghua Group.

Now graduates know that it is not wrong to choose Zhonghua Group with a high salary, because the treatment it gives is very high, which is on par with the financial and Internet industries. In particular, many engineering graduates list Chung Hwa Group as their first choice because it provides a broad development platform and lucrative treatment.

For example, in a country bordered by water, Toyota Motor ranks first in the flow of top university graduates in addition to banks.

"One year to repay the loan, three years to buy a house, five years to get married", this is the true description of the treatment of entering the China Group in the unofficial guidelines for employment in major universities in China.

Many graduates with student loans take only one year to pay them off. Benefiting from the preferential housing purchase policy of Zhonghua Group, three years is enough to save enough for a down payment to settle down in Jiangzhou. If you get married for five years, it means that Zhonghua Group will become a satisfactory work unit for many future mothers-in-law, after all, you can afford to buy a house.

Every year, the proportion of ordinary front-line workers among the newly recruited employees is getting smaller and smaller, and more are engineers and technicians. Zhonghua Group has grown into a new modern enterprise driven by innovation, and its R&D capabilities are second to none in China.

"Since the AT transmission has more and more gears and the gears are getting thinner, the CVT can also be used as a reference.

In view of the fact that the traditional CVT steel belt is easy to slip, the multi-gear ratio can be used to reduce the slippage probability. We have added a new starting gear system between the active and driven conical wheels, so that the traditional conical wheels can be reduced in size, so that the linkage steel belt is also greatly narrowed, and there is no longer a need to withstand large starting torques.

Theoretically, it is expected to significantly improve the response speed of the CVT transmission by at least 20%, and it can also be matched with a more powerful engine. ”

Talking about the fields he was familiar with and good at, You Xu began to talk about them, no longer looking like a young newcomer.

I thought that the AT transmission would be the first choice for high-torque engines, but the CVT team also targeted its weaknesses and improved them, and now the CVT transmission has been taken to a new level.

It was like a window paper that would break as soon as it was stabbed, Han Hao quickly understood You Xu's thoughts, which indeed seemed very feasible.

It's sometimes easy to invent, but it's hard for ordinary people to think outside the box, or why inspiration and thinking outside the box are important.

"Very well, I'm so proud of you!

Why do I dare to pat my chest in front of other peers and say that the China Group will definitely go to the world, just because of you are the loveliest inventors!"

I couldn't help but applaud the new achievements of CVT, and Han Hao praised this group of valuable talents who tirelessly pursue excellence in person. Compared with the design results of the new CVT, they are the most valuable asset of Zhonghua Group.
