The establishment of a company on automotive electronics has always been one of Zhou Jingming's business plans, Bosch in the field of automotive electronics, has always been the undisputed first, if you can make achievements in automotive electronics, shake the status of Bosch's big brother, Zhou Jingming feels that it is not impossible.

At present, the ABS system has been fully used in the world, and the ABS system equipped on the Phoenix brand car is also provided by Bosch, which Zhou Jingming has long wanted to change, since this time to develop airbags, it is just to take this opportunity to achieve independent production of ABS by the way.

In addition, the active safety measures and passive safety measures of the car, far more than airbags and ABS, there are more automotive electronic technology, can further improve the driving safety of the car, Zhou Jingming hopes, in the future, he can make the safety index of the car to a higher level, do his best to reduce the casualties caused by traffic accidents.

"You are the boss of the company, if you want to set up an automotive electronics branch, I will definitely support it. Zhao Ke himself is not very familiar with automotive electronics, but he also has to admit that automotive electronics is becoming more and more important for the whole vehicle.

"I'm just informing you first, we don't have to worry about the rest of the things, and we are currently concentrating on applying for patents for airbags, which can't be met by imports. Zhou Jingming said seriously.

Just do it.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhou Jingming summoned relevant personnel to attend the meeting, and set up an airbag research and development team, and Zhou Jingming was personally responsible for the research and development of this project.

The entire airbag system is mainly composed of inertial sensors, electronic control systems and airbags, because Zhou Jingming himself does not have any special research on this aspect, in order to ensure that the project can be carried out smoothly, Zhou Jingming also specially found Bosch technicians to guide them.

Of course, research and development is one thing, and if you want to make it mandatory for every car to install airbags in the entire domestic automobile industry, Zhou Jingming also needs the participation of other companies, so that if such a proposal is made to the Ministry of Machinery and Technology, then it is possible to promote the upgrading of domestic passive safety regulations.

Therefore, Zhou Jingming took the time to find Xu Guanglu, if SAIC Volkswagen is willing to make suggestions to the Ministry of Machinery with him, then it will be much easier next.

"What is the probability that your side will be able to develop successfully?" After listening to Zhou Jingming's words, Xu Guanglu frowned.

"R&D is definitely 100% successful, and it will take up to six months to complete this project, and I mean I want to implement this standard throughout the industry, and if you are willing to join, it will be a huge help in this matter." Zhou Jingming hurriedly replied.

Xu Guanglu thought for a moment, "Xiao Zhou, I have to report this matter to the company, after all, it involves increasing the cost, I can't decide it alone, at most a week, I will reply to you." ”

"Okay, this matter is really a matter of life safety, and I hope that the factory director can unite with me. Zhou Jingming said solemnly.

After returning to the company, Zhou Jingming thought about it and called FAW's Chen Dongsheng again, the domestic companies that can mass-produce sedans are FAW, SAIC and Tianming Company, if FAW is also willing to join, even if SAIC does not agree, it will be much easier.

To Zhou Jingming's surprise, Chen Dongsheng agreed on the spot, and promised that as long as Zhou Jingming was willing to make suggestions to the Ministry of Mechanics, FAW would definitely follow.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Jingming breathed a long sigh of relief, with the addition of FAW, the probability of success in this matter will increase a lot, then the most important thing is to take down the patent of the airbag as soon as possible!

On the fourth day after looking for Xu Guanglu, Xu Guanglu found Zhou Jingming, who was doing research.

"Xiao Zhou, I'm here for the airbag thing. After seeing Zhou Jingming, Xu Guanglu said straight to the point.

"And what do you say?"

Originally, SAIC did not agree to do this, because it would inevitably involve an increase in costs, but then something happened at the factory that prompted SAIC to agree to the proposal to install airbags. Xu Guanglu smiled bitterly and continued,

"Two days ago, a group of people came to the factory gate to ask for an explanation, and also dragged a Santana produced by our factory over, the driver of this car encountered a traffic accident, because of a violent blow to the head, unfortunately left, his family thought that there was a problem with our car, so they came to ask for an explanation, which caused a very bad impact, so in order to avoid such a thing from happening again, the board of directors also approved. ”

"Factory director, strictly speaking, such an accident occurs, it is indeed a problem with our car, if this traffic accident happened in the United States, to a large extent, unnecessary casualties can be avoided, because the United States has been mandatory to install airbags since 1984. Zhou Jingming said with some sadness.

Although airbags are not 100% guaranteed to avoid casualties, they can reduce the casualty rate by a large margin.

Even if they can only reduce the casualties by 1%, it is worth their 100% effort, because it is the respect and cherishing of every life!

"Then we will depend on the progress of your side, if you need to make a proposal to the ministry, you can come to me, and we will support you in the name of SAIC Volkswagen. ”

With the help of Bosch technicians, one technical problem after another has been overcome by Zhou Jingming, and there is only one step left before the final success.

Three months later, in July, the research and development of airbags has made a breakthrough, in the laboratory, by giving certain working conditions, the airbags can quickly pop out, expand, form enough protection for the driver.

In this context, led by Tianming Automobile Company, FAW and SAIC Volkswagen, three domestic automobile companies, jointly proposed to the Ministry of Machinery Industry that the airbag system should be installed in the cars produced since 1989, and at the same time improve the standards for passing the automobile crash test.

Considering the participation of SAIC and FAW, the Ministry of Machinery also felt that this matter was extraordinary, so he asked Li Mingzhe to fly to Shencheng on behalf of the Ministry of Machinery and Technology, and he would judge the feasibility of this proposal.

After Li Mingzhe arrived in Shencheng, he first visited the research progress of Tianming Company's airbags under the leadership of Zhou Jingming.

"Director Li, the research phase of airbags is almost over, the next stage only needs to pass the actual car test, we plan to conduct a car crash test the day after tomorrow, and then will be compared with the car with airbags and without airbags, Director Li can feel it on the spot, and know why we propose to install airbags on the car. After visiting the research progress, Zhou Jingming said to Li Mingzhe.

This crash test is mainly used to test the efficacy of airbags!
