Chapter 281: Upgrading the Engine

Ask for a plan, ask for a monthly pass!

After coming out of Peter's laboratory, Jin Xiaoqiang was pulled away by Ding Weizhong and Yang Dingwei.

Since Dahuayang Power became famous, the two masters have disappeared a little, in fact, it is not that they deliberately want to fade out of sight, but that Jin Xiaoqiang has arranged another task for them.

That is to study how to produce aluminum alloy cylinder block equipment on a large scale, improve the production process and train manpower.

You must know that in these years, one of the so-called advanced technologies on the engine is how to lighten the engine as much as possible, and the best in this regard is the Japanese chalk himself, they have done enough work in the study of aluminum alloy cylinder block.

Toyota and Honda were also the first car manufacturers to introduce the use of aluminum alloy for engine cylinder heads, and these technologies have been applied to their new models Camry and Accord.

If according to the original historical development, the engine technology using aluminum alloy cylinder block or cylinder head would not have been introduced into the Celestial Empire so early, because in the opinion of the chalk himself, the products given to the Celestial Empire in these years are enough as long as they are third-rate products.

Even if it is a third-rate product that they despise the most, when it comes to the Celestial Empire, it is also a first-class product, which is enough to fool the consumers of the Celestial Empire, but because of the appearance of Huayang Power, they feel that it is no longer possible to fool around like this.

If they want to keep their share of the Celestial Empire market and maintain enough competitiveness against Huayang Power, as well as German and American products, then they must come up with enough weight, so they have advanced the plan to introduce aluminum alloy engines into the Celestial Empire.

According to Wang Jiao's front station in Shanghai during this time, the information collected shows that at the Shanghai Auto Show, German cars and American cars are also brewing price reductions to deal with the current fierce momentum of Huayang Power, in order to maintain their products in the market can be enough competitiveness.

Then, in order to cope with the measures of these opponents, Jin Xiaoqiang and they had to make a technical upgrade to their corresponding flagship products.

For example, at present, they are selling the best Yidong in the market, as well as the three models of Yihu, and Octavia, Jin Xiaoqiang and the senior management of Huayang Power discussed it and made a conclusion.

For example, in terms of mid-range cars, the German Passat corresponding to Yidong, as well as the American LaCrosse, and the Japanese Accord and Camry even if the price is reduced, it is impossible to reduce the lowest price to the same level as Yidong, after all, these foreign manufacturers, one by one, think very highly of themselves, they cannot be like Huayang Power, the starting price of the mid-range car to the level of more than 160,000 yuan, but they may fine-tune the price of their products at the same time, will put the engine of their model, Or some aspects such as the interior are fine-tuned to show their technical content.

Among them, they have explored the clear information that Japanese cars are likely to bow in, aluminum alloy engines, while German cars and American cars may be price reductions, and more preferential service measures will be taken in after-sales.

In order to maintain the image of Huayang Power as relatively cheap and high-quality, and the technical content is not as backward as foreign products, Jin Xiaoqiang decided to upgrade the engine system of their current flagship cars.

It turns out that the engines of their Octavia, Yidong, and Yihu cars all use gray cast iron, which is still the mainstream, as the main material of the engine.

However, in order to meet the technical challenges of Japanese car manufacturers, they decided to replace these three cars with aluminum alloy engine cylinder heads.

The reason why the cylinder block of the engine is not also changed to aluminum alloy at one time is also to consider the cost, and it is also to leave a certain space for the next step of technical upgrading.

After all, at present, the main thing they Huayang Power said to do is to keep up with the mainstream technical level of international car manufacturers, and within a certain range, they can keep up with them, not to be ahead of them in an all-round way.

After this task was issued some time ago, Ding Weizhong and Yang Dingwei, the two masters, were happy, because first, once the company's future models use a large number of aluminum alloy cylinder heads, it means that their income will be greatly improved.

Second, it also means that the painstaking products they have worked hard to develop will finally meet the majority of consumers, which is also a kind of praise for the automobile career they have fought for all their lives. …,

Therefore, during this period of time, the two masters who are not small are particularly energetic, almost every day in the aluminum alloy cylinder head production line they developed, where to soak every day is a day, all day long with their apprentices, in the study of the production process, constantly in the error correction, research, is to do foolproof in the future large-scale production.

Today, these two masters found Jin Xiaoqiang, just to let him go and see, the production line of aluminum alloy cylinder head they made, Jin Xiaoqiang could only happily follow the two masters and check it.

To the production line workshop located in the southeast corner of the factory, Jin Xiaoqiang couldn't help but applaud the design of the two masters, although the two teachers are old-school technicians, but their design of this production line is decent, and the modern production mode is very commensurate, not like the old production line in the past fifties and sixties.

"Haha, two masters, you really impress me!"

After looking at this production line and witnessing the production process and process of this line, Jin Xiaoqiang said with a smile to the two masters.

"Where, where, there are a lot of them, but there are Xiao Mou, Mu Zongjun, if it weren't for his help, we really wouldn't have been able to design this production line?"

Ding Weizhong scratched his head a little shyly and said to Jin Xiaoqiang, this old generation of technicians is honest, one is one, two is two, and there will never be greed for merit.

"Haha, then you have to lose the two masters to be willing to study, otherwise how can this production line be so easy to build, okay! Since I'm here, I'll assign another task to the two masters. ”

Jin Xiaoqiang's mind turned, and then said to Ding Weizhong and Yang Dingwei.

"What's the task? Mr. Jin, just say it! ”

Yang Dingwei heard that there was a task, and immediately came to the spirit, the master has made a lifetime of auto parts, and now he is about to retire to the age of retirement, but the old man is not convinced of the old, unwilling to retire early, and wants to work for a few years!

"Now that you have overcome the task of this aluminum alloy cylinder head, let's go directly to the next step and study how to produce aluminum alloy cylinder blocks in large quantities? I'm building a production line like this. ”……

"Okay! Mr. Jin, you are waiting for our good news! ”。

Yang Dingwei felt that Hun Yue was strong, and he had been engaged in auto parts research for a lifetime, but he didn't expect to enter the golden period when he was old, but he also felt content, compared with other old guys who had long retired at home, he felt that he was so happy.

Ding Weizhong is even more eager to try, you must know that what they are engaged in, in the eyes of foreign car manufacturers, may not be a big problem, but for the automotive industry of the Celestial Empire, every step they take is a creation.

For him, what he hopes more is that his name can be forever engraved in the history of the development of Tianchao Automobile!

After saying goodbye to the two masters, Jin Xiaoqiang returned to his office paper and began to ponder the problem that Peter gave him, that is, to come up with a powertrain worthy of the K series models.

In fact, long before Jin Xiaoqiang asked Peter and them to start researching the K series model, he had his own ideas about what kind of powertrain this K series should be equipped with.

The reason why Peter went to study this K series in the first place when there was an eMotion, and came out of the way to add a new car lineup, was also to consider the popularity of this car around the world in later generations.

After this Kia K jumped, before it was listed, it had received more than 10,000 orders in Africa, and after the knife landed in North America in 1 year, it created an annual sales volume of more than Tian Gongtai, in order to complete those overwhelming orders, Kia's factory in North America at that time had to Sun Bu Shi non-stop production, in order to barely ensure that the North American market demand for this car was met.

And after this car was launched in the Celestial Empire market, it created a monthly sales volume of more than that. Kia, which sells more than 70,000 units a year, has the best sales performance.

One of the main reasons why it has achieved such outstanding results is because of the excellent shape design of this car. …,

To tell the truth, compared to the excellent appearance of this car, his so-called is touted by Koreans. LL, the nuclear heart, can really only be said to be barely enough, and there is nothing too brilliant about it.

The 2 amount of the engine, just to accompany a CWT technology, it is very boastful, can only provide, Q horsepower and, Q torque, for this car, can only be said to be decent, and there is nothing outstanding.

And the powertrain that Jin Xiaoqiang intends to apply to this K series model is the Skyactiv technology that he has been optimistic about for a long time.

As we all know, the chalk himself has a very powerful automobile engine technology, but their golden age is also in the Qin era of the last century, and during that time, the engine technology of the chalk himself is very inflated.

It can even be said that at one time, their engine technology could compete with BMW and Mercedes-Benz, and as for the Volkswagen at that time, they were thrown a few streets away early.

However, since the late years of the last century, the chalk of the chalk himself's automobile engine technology has fallen into a cycle of stagnation, and there has been no new major invention and technological innovation, until the knife year, Mazda announced a technology called SKYACTIV.

This engine with SKYACTIV technology was immediately selected as one of the top 10 engines of the year as soon as it was announced.

And this technology was used by them in their new Mazda 3 Series sedan, which was put on the North American market, and once it was launched, it was immediately sought after by large consumers.

The best thing about this technology is that it can be done, and in the case of ordinary technology, it can be achieved to the point where the compression ratio of the car's fuel reaches the point where it is necessary to achieve the best air-to-fuel ratio.

This results in a 9 percent increase in combustion efficiency and a 15 percent increase in torque!

It is precisely because of this unique technology that this Mazda series was launched in the German, American and European markets in June of the ...... year, and immediately occupied 7% of the sales in these markets.

What a bullish concept is this?

You must know that the propaganda concept of this car at that time was that although we were a fuel car, we could achieve the same effect as new energy vehicles at that time, and we were able to save 30% of fuel compared to ordinary cars of the same displacement under the condition of ensuring power output and torque advantages!

This is almost the same as the one that Jin Xiaoqiang and they vigorously studied. B。 S people FOW said C "The powertrain of the four PS can achieve the same effect!

It's just that the powertrain is prepared for large-displacement luxury cars, and this powertrain, Jin Xiaoqiang intends to let him have fun with the people, specially prepared for the ordinary people.

When the time comes, with such a powertrain, coupled with the eye-catching and beautiful shape of the original Kia, then a perfect civilian model will be born again.

Mazda's SKYACTIV technology is actually divided into three parts, one part is their engine, one part is the body structure and chassis they use, and the other part is derived from their transmission.

Now Jin Xiaoqiang's time is relatively tight, Peter only gave him two months, and there is a Shanghai Auto Show during this period, so he has to hurry.

Because he plans to participate in the Paris Motor Show or the Geneva Motor Show again this year, when this set of Skyactiv technology belonging to Huayang Power will be unveiled at this large-scale foreign auto show.

The birth of a new technology a year, Jin Xiaoqiang believes that such a Huayang power, enough to thunder those foreigners, their Huayang power, as long as they continue to innovate, then they will establish an absolute high-end, high-tech high-end brand status in the hearts of foreign consumers.

When the time comes, it will be able to completely break the prejudice of those foreign devils against our Celestial Empire products, so that our Celestial Empire Manufacturing can completely raise its eyebrows in the world!

Jin Xiaoqiang, who felt that time was pressing, immediately began to design this engine after he had an idea, and the core technology of this Skyactiv engine lies in his unique 4-chop exhaust path...... )
