Formula-E.

The full name is FIA Formula E competition, which is also known as the legendary Formula E.

Although it has only been around for a long time, it has only been six years since then, and the first competition dates back to the autumn of 2014. But aside from the pale history of this event, because of the increasingly extreme world environment in recent years, this event has attracted more and more attention in the eyes of people.

Moreover, with Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mercedes-Benz, Europa League, Renault, Swiss France and other traditional racing giants have settled in this emerging racing competition, in the past two years, a voice can often be heard among fans - Formula-E will replace F1!

In Li Fanyu's view, this statement is impossible to realize, at least at this stage.

The impact of F1 on automotive technology is not something that can be explained in a simple sentence or two.

Whether it is aerodynamics, car exterior design, engine, transmission, tires, energy recovery system and other necessary factors to promote the development of the automotive industry, almost all of them are first applied to F1 cars before they can be commercialized.

It can be said that F1 has influenced the development and progress of automobiles. It can even be said that if you want to know where the car will go in the near future, you can roughly guess it by looking at the F1 cars.

Because almost all of Zhengxin's core technologies are derived from Xapp rather than the R&D process from concept to practice to popularization, Zhengxin already has a brand like X-car that can beat most of the supercars on the market, so naturally there is no need to prove anything in F1.

In addition, Zhengxin's involvement in the racing industry is still short, and the accumulation of racing experience and team construction is still shallow, so Li Fanyu has never had the idea of participating in F1.

But Formula-e is different!

In a sense, the status of this competition in the field of automobile racing is the same as Zhengxin's current position in the automobile market.

All represent that the background is still shallow, but it may lead the future!

The reason why he is preparing to participate in this event is that Li Fanyu has a lot of plans;

In his view, the next generation of automotive energy after the internal combustion engine is already foreseeable to be pure electric drive. It's a thing.

However, although pure electric vehicles have now appeared, they can fully replace internal combustion engine vehicles, and it is not yet known that they will move from non-mainstream to mainstream. As an auto company with an annual profit of more than 150 billion yuan and a market share of nearly 30% in the Chinese market, it must make a layout for the future.

In recent years, the environmental impact of racing cars has become increasingly criticized due to the frequent use of large internal combustion engines. As one of the world's most well-known and influential F1 pages, it is constantly trying to minimize the impact on the environment by reducing displacement, enhancing the energy recovery system, and banning refueling during races.

However, after the advent of the electric method, people around the world who are interested in new energy vehicles have set their sights on here.

It can be said that participating in Formula E is the best platform for Zhengxin to demonstrate its current electric technology around the world.

Secondly. Formula E has always been about Formula 1. Some of the rules of the races are also similar to those of F1. However, there is an essential difference in the powertrain: the Formula E car uses an electric motor, and the maximum power performance is limited to 200 carats, or 270 hp, by the FIA. THE WEIGHT OF THE WHOLE VEHICLE IS 800KG, AND THE WEIGHT OF THE BATTERY SHALL NOT EXCEED 200KG.

This kind of performance is still inferior to the F1, which has thousands of horsepower. This may not be a good thing for the game itself.

But for Zhengxin, it is a great opportunity!

Because under such restrictions, FE can be regarded as a proving ground of the same level, similar rules, but much lower competition intensity!

In addition, compared to F1, this race has a more direct impact on the production of electric vehicles.

Formula E cars are only available with standard chassis, and all the rest of the assembly parts need to be assembled by the team themselves. In other words, many parts of Formula E cars are highly similar to civilian electric vehicles.

Moreover, this equation does not mean to squeeze battery performance, but more emphasis on aerodynamics, range, durability and other issues.

It can be said that FE pays more attention to durability and universality - which coincides with the requirements of civilian electric vehicles.

Therefore, after the X dissolved metal battery and Zhengxin's super rare earth permanent magnet motor were combined and applied to the Tomahawk and achieved satisfactory performance, Li Fanyu couldn't wait to put this plan into action.

On the internal combustion engine car brand, Zhengxin may be a hundred years late. But the door to the electric world has just cracked a little crack!

No one thought that after a vigorous flying yellow operation, at the moment when the live broadcast was about to end, Li Fanyu would be able to throw such a big news!

In the midst of the audience's chanting of the letter, Li Fanyu smiled and waved to the live broadcast camera, ending his crazy accident but not deviating from the plan.

Together with TOPGEAR, who had left the pot first, intending to quickly return to Amagi to complete the unfinished business of the special, and several of the main producers in the highest gear, they embarked on the return flight.

I thought that after throwing the big bomb of participating in FE, I would immediately return to the group to organize the team and the high-performance R&D department to make plans, as well as the upcoming media army. But when Li Fanyu just got off the plane and was about to say goodbye to everyone, he was entangled by celluloid.

Looking at the celluloid who followed behind him like a tail, without leaving or talking, Li Fanyu frowned.

"What, you want to sneak up on me to avenge the arrow you just had?" he made a defensive gesture and turned back suddenly.

Celluloid, who didn't know what to think, was taken aback, and only then did she pick up her previous domineering spirit again: "Hmph! I'm so narrow-minded and don't know what to do......?

Seeing Li Fanyu's eyes glaring, she immediately changed her words: "Thank you dad for the morning......

Li Fanyu nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, it's all a trivial matter, no need to make a special trip to thank you." Besides, it's not exactly helping you. If you fall into the Yellow River, my tomahawk will not be able to wash it off in terms of performance. What's more, this Feihuang also cured my fear of heights. I'll leave first if there's nothing else to do, there must be you busy over there in the program team, hurry back. ”

Celluloid didn't move, her face was a little scared: "That ......"

With such a little woman's expression, Li Fanyu has never seen it on this crazy girl's face.

Unusual!

It's amazing!

He leaned over and circled around celluloid as if he were studying some anomalous creature, looking at the latter with some apprehension.

"What are you doing?"

Li Fanyu smiled, "Are you okay?"

"Uncle's!" the squeezed celluloid immediately broke out, "Grandma just wants to treat you to a meal!

Seeing Li Fanyu's glaring eyes, she immediately withered.

"Dad, please be sure to appreciate your face......"

Looking at celluloid, who was constantly switching between mania and sickness, Li Fan raised his hand with a foolish smile and looked at the time.

Thinking that he hadn't eaten water since morning, he shrugged his shoulders, "Okay, I'll give you an hour." ”

Looking at the smile on Celluloid's face, he made up for it: "Do your filial piety." ”
