**************
As we all know, American cars have always been known for their luxury and large displacement, and many of GM's models are among the best or even representatives of such models.
Delphi started specifically for GM to make auto parts, and many GM vehicles are equipped with ECUs that are products of Delphi.
Although Delphi has a certain reputation in the field of driving computers, most of their ECUs are specially prepared for large-displacement V8 or high-horsepower SUV models.
On the other hand, from Huayang Power, from their fame to the present, their high-horsepower models and models equipped with V8 engines are not nothing, but they are not the mainstream products of Huayang Power's models.
Such high-horsepower models under Huayang Power, or models equipped with V8 engines, are generally mainly sold in North America.
As for the models sold in China, or in Europe, they are generally based on the 4-cylinder engine of the inline L4, and the larger displacement is at best the V6 engine, and only a small part is the V8 engine.
So in this way, the database used by Delphi that is specially configured for high-horsepower engines, or V8 engines, is not so obvious to Sunshine.
You must know that the models sold by Huayang Power before are mainly corresponding to Volkswagen's models, so when they introduce ECU from Bosch, Bosch only needs to make some data adjustments to the ECU of the driving computer they sold to Volkswagen, so that they can adapt to Huayang Power's models.
However, the database on Delphi's side is different, and their database is really a bit of a chicken rib for Huayang Power. In Jin Xiaoqiang's view, it is really tasteless and a pity to abandon it.
Although Delphi has not done data development for small-displacement engines before, for example, the Saturn brand promoted by GM before is specifically for the development of small-displacement civilian models. But after all, Mercury has been out of production for a long time. A lot of the data is not up to date, so for Huayang Power, which is currently keeping up with the trend of the times and is known for developing small-displacement models, such data is of little effect.
And in reference to the later generations of Buick Regal and LaCrosse body mounted on the driving computer. Most of them were written by Delphi.
Think about the fuel consumption of these two cars, which were widely criticized by consumers in later generations, and the unreliable 6AT transmission. In fact, these problems are summarized in the end, and they are all caused by the poor matching of ECU data.
You must know that it is the same 6AT, universal. Volkswagen. Japan's Toyota and Honda used most of Japan's Aisin Seiki's 6AT gearboxes.
But why is it that Volkswagen and Toyota, Honda's engine and gearbox are not a big problem at all, and it has won the title of fuel economy.
But after GM's engine is paired with the 6AT gearbox, it can only be scolded by consumers for fuel consumption. The speed is soft and weak, and so on.
The most critical reason for this is because of the ECU of the driving computer. The control of the power output and the gearbox is not well matched, so this leads to the occurrence of these problems.
Later, although Delphi adjusted these problems on the part of GM alone, Delphi also changed its thinking and began to carefully develop and overcome the previous problems, and also solved many problems.
However, at this time, the impression and psychological shadow left by these two models of GM on consumers have been finalized long ago, so whenever Jin Xiaoqiang thinks of the poor data adjustment and matching on Delphi's side, he is panicked.
Now it seems that Delphi's side is obviously desperate, GM has been losing money for several years, and Delphi's previous way of living exclusively on GM is obviously no longer viable. …,
Now for Delphi, let alone competing with Bosch, the main task for them at the moment is to expand into new markets and then survive in the market.
Then there is the grudge between Bosch and Bosch, and Huayang Power has made a big move this time, expanding the production capacity of 1.5 million vehicles, and has secretly reached an agreement with GM, and has already obtained the production line of Saturn that is about to be discontinued by GM in the United States, so Delphi, which has been hinted at by GM, attaches great importance to this big move of Huayang Power, and they hope that through this big move of Huayang Power, they can get good benefits and live!
Therefore, this time, Delphi can be said to have taken out a very big sincerity, wanting to get a large order from Huayang Power, and it is best to reach an agreement with Huayang Power to become a large supplier of Huayang Power's models in the future.
As a competitor of Bosch, Drevor has never relaxed his attention to Bosch, and they have seen the rapid development of Bosch like a rocket in the past two years.
They analyzed the development of Bosch, and the most noteworthy of this is the cooperation between Bosch and Huayang Power, which has enabled Bosch to surpass Delphi to become the world's largest auto parts supplier.
The previous partnership with GM has made Delphi deeply aware of how important it is to have a good relationship with a giant in the world's automotive industry and become a long-term strategic partner.
Think about Delphi's growth path, in fact, isn't it always relying on the development of GM to survive, and the relationship between them is like Intel and Microsoft, one wins and the other loses.
Now GM is obviously in decline, but Huayang Power is rising like the rising sun, so Delphi attaches great importance to the development prospects of Huayang Power, although Huayang Power is currently in front of the world's top ten automobile manufacturing companies, maybe it is nothing, but he has a big market behind the Celestial Empire, and he has now shown the trend of dominating the Celestial Empire automobile market, according to this development, Huayang Power is the next Celestial Empire of General Motors.
So this time Delphi can be said to be willing to give up his own blood, isn't it just an open database, it doesn't matter, we can open it to you, but it's impossible to run away if you want to finish eating.
After all, behind Delphi is the U.S. government, what does the U.S. government do, isn't it to support our company, so they are not afraid that after Huayang Power gets its own database, it will throw itself off and go it alone, after all, they don't believe that the people of the Celestial Empire have such courage, if they dare to do this, then they can completely solve such a problem through the political means of the U.S. government.
What's more, in their opinion, they can set up an automotive ECU CNC R&D center together with Huayang Power, after all, the price of human resources that is as cheap as the Tianchao is also coveted by them.
As for what leaks secrets, they don't care, after all, it is now the key to survival, next year many of GM's manufacturing branches will be cut, which means that the winter of Delphi is also coming, they must find another company to accept their supply as soon as possible, otherwise it is difficult for them to continue to support GM alone, Bosch partners can be said to be all over the world, what Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and even Toyota in Japan, Honda are all their partners.
However, Delphi used to rely on the big tree of GM to enjoy the shade, so there were not many partners who cooperated with them, and GM had some relationship with them on a Mercedes-Benz, and the others were some small customers. …,
If they can't get the order from Huayang Power today, then their life will be miserable.
So Delphi let it out this time, and they agreed to whatever Jin Xiaoqiang wanted.
And Jin Xiaoqiang didn't expect that the representative of Delphi would agree so happily, plus he didn't look down on other people's Delphi skills before, but now that they suddenly agreed, he really didn't know how to decide.
So in the past few days, after Delphi's side relented, he has not been in a hurry to give a conclusion, after all, if he promised Delphi and gave them all the big cakes, he would definitely offend Bosch.
I cooperated well with Bosch before, if Bosch really provoked the fire, then the final result would definitely be a lose-lose situation, which is also not what Jin Xiaoqiang saw.
But these damn Germans are also brainless, they must know the news of their contact with Delphi, but why didn't they make any moves, are they so confident, confident that they will definitely go back to beg them?
These Germans seem to be really embarrassed!
After another day, Jin Xiaoqiang finally made a decision in his heart, and then after contacting Delphi again, he proposed not only to open up the database developed by Delphi ECU, but also to provide the database of their Stabilitrak system.
As we all know, Bosch has always been a big name in this field in terms of driving safety systems, and their ESP body stability system, there are few fans in the world who have not heard of it, with this system, I don't know how many lives will be saved every year.
And almost all the car manufacturing companies in the world, after seeing the benefits of this thing, are thinking about developing a system of their own.
But when it is the turn to really do it, there are not many companies that can develop such a body stability system, except for giants such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Toyota, Honda, General Motors, and Ford, other small companies can only sigh with admiration.
At present, the same system on the market as ESP is BMW's DSC, Toyota's VSC, and GM's STABILITRAK system, and GM's system is developed by Delphi
