Chapter 252: Haqi's Accord
After a month of intense training, the workers of Hafei Automobile Factory ran in the production line and manufactured auto parts and assembled vehicles like real production cars, and finally ushered in the day of acceptance on October 10. Lin Qiangsheng and Eriksson stood together, next to Fu Yulong, director of Hafei Automobile Factory, and leaders of the province's industrial departments attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The 100th sedan of Hafei Automobile was assembled and slowly slid out of the assembly line, and the visitors standing on both sides kept applauding and congratulating each other.
In the warm applause and cheers, the black Accord sedan (second generation) was slowly pushed out of the workshop, Fu Yulong could not hide his excitement and personally got on the car, and Lin Qiangsheng pushed the other side.
With the goal of creating a top-of-the-line mid-to-high-end sedan, this sedan incorporates more elements of mid-to-high-end cars. The sedan is luxuriously equipped with leather upholstery, leather adjustable seats, alloy wheels, power windows and a cassette recorder sound system.
In an era dominated by manual windows, vinyl seats and an optional AM radio, this is an incredible feature even internationally. There is no vehicle in the country to compare, Binqi is now producing the Jetta belongs to the mid-range car, even if it was known as the high-end but imported or parallel goods car has made the public realize what is called a high-end car, the people are not easy to fool, and the Accord car has crossed the threshold of high-end cars.
The Accord has been slightly improved from the original, with a wheelbase of 2,371 mm and a total length of 4,115 mm. This size is larger than the original, and the Chinese people like big cars, and the original is 5mm shorter than the first generation, which is very unreasonable.
The Accord has a large interior space and a spacious and comfortable ride. The details of the carriage are more complete. In terms of power, this sedan uses an 86-horsepower 1.8L engine, which has both fuel economy, and uses CVCC (Composite Overcurrent Controlled Combustion), a housekeeping technology stolen from Honda, which divides the engine combustion chamber into the main combustion chamber and the auxiliary combustion chamber, first igniting a small amount of concentrated gas mixture in the auxiliary combustion chamber, and then burning together with the lean mixture gas in the main combustion chamber.
There's a reason for that. In order to retaliate against the theft of Japanese companies, Lin Qiangsheng studied his valve adjustment timing technology. Japanese car companies monopolized this technology because Lin Qiangsheng only exchanged the technology with GM, Ford and BMW and Mercedes-Benz Volkswagen for the technology they needed, so the Japanese simply studied it themselves. After knowing the technical details by checking the patents, they can come up with a set of things by themselves and then give them another name, bypassing the many valve timing technology patent barriers registered by Lin Johnson.
The Americans and Germans have done more than they have to lose, they can exchange technology with Johnson Lin to act openly, anyway, almost every car manufacturer has these technologies, and they don't care about one more.
And the seventies and eighties were the crazy period when the Japanese plagiarized and stole the advanced technology of developed countries, and the Japanese would not exchange technology with Lin Qiangsheng at this time. Just use it directly, and the lawsuit is also a means of publicity.
Lin Qiangsheng sued the Japanese company, and the Japanese countersued him for monopoly, and the two sides used lawyers to start a lawsuit in the United States. Therefore, Lin Qiangsheng also used Honda's CVCC engine technology, which is disgusting to the Japanese in terms of self-production and self-sale in China, and its improved engine is 15% more fuel-efficient than the original. With this technology, of course, Lin Johnson and Johnson can't use the same name as the Japanese, otherwise he will really admit to plagiarizing them, which is not good!
Lin Qiangsheng gave it a new name. Vortex gas adjustable system, that's what it means anyway. Of course. CVCC is not a new technology, it is something developed by Honda in the 70s, and the structure is complex and difficult to manufacture. This is typical Japanese design, the Japanese like to design things more complex to solve problems, while the Chinese like to keep things simple and often complacent. Lin Qiangsheng brought this technology, even if it was to cultivate the complex thinking logic of Harbin Automobile.
This design is in the combustion stroke. The small combustion chamber is ignited first, the thick mixture is ignited, and then the lean mixture in the main combustion chamber is ignited, and the work is started at this time.
This technology solves the problem of gasoline combustion, and there were not so many electronic devices in those days. The car relies on the carburetor, and the air intake is not well controlled at low speed, and the pollution is serious. And this way of working can burn off excess gasoline, and the density of thin air in the combustion chamber can be very high, and the efficiency of the entire engine will be higher, so after the birth of this technology, it will definitely make the world shine, and Honda relies on the low fuel consumption of this technology, environmental protection and energy saving characteristics, the first to pass the 70-year new version of the "Air Purification Act" in the United States, which made countless car manufacturers cry. In 72 years, CVCC technology became famous in the world, and this small car factory that started manufacturing cars ten years ago gave the world's automotive giants a resounding slap in the face.
In 2000, CVCC technology was selected as the representative of the 20th century Best Engineered Car by the Automotive Technicians Association (SAE)'s monthly magazine "AutomotiveEngineering".
Lin Johnson's use of this technology under the displacement of 1.8L is also a tribute to Honda!
The problem of this design is that the power is not large, and the combustion chamber and mechanical structure are complex, and the efficiency cannot be compared with the later EFI engines.
Lin Qiangsheng knew that later on, the engine that relied on the shape of the vortex to solve the emission problem began to decline, and the researchers began to think about the amount of electronic fuel injection and the shape of the combustion chamber. The new design begins to allow the controllable mixture to go back in a single combustion chamber, the gasoline mist sways around, and then mixes with the air to burn more efficiently, and after the efficiency is high, the power can be increased and the emission is less.
So, engine scientists have been tackling lean combustion in recent decades, mixing less and more uniform gasoline mist with more air.
CVCC technology is only suitable for engines with a small displacement of less than 1.8L, and HAC will launch three engines one after another, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, a 2.4-liter naturally aspirated engine, and a 3.0-liter V6 engine.
Not surprisingly, China produced a 5.65-liter V8 liquid-cooled engine in 1958, equipped with the FAW Hongqi CA72 sedan, with a power of 164 kilowatts. Saying that the V6V8 engine cannot be built in China is actually a long-term technical suppression of the Chinese people who have lost their self-confidence and belittled themselves. If you don't build it, you will never make progress, so let's start with this 3.0LV6 engine!
At present, these engines are undergoing multi-point electronic fuel injection system tuning, which consumes a lot of fuel just to collect data for testing. An injector is installed on the intake branch pipe in front of each cylinder intake valve of the engine, and this electronically controlled fuel injection device will completely eliminate the carburetor, and the mass production of this car will let Chinese cars enter the era of EFI!
Several engines are estimated to be finalized in one or two months, and then after the preparatory work, these EFI trucks will be mass-produced, which is definitely a bombshell for China!
Therefore, only a few people in the whole factory knew about it, and even if they were told about the project they were studying, the Chinese people might not know what it was, and a kind of engine that did not use carburetors and used electronic control to inject fuel was something that the Chinese people of this era had never heard of.
The Accord sedan also features a 4-speed automatic transmission as an option, front-wheel drive, and the FF layout makes the interior more spacious and comfortable, and it includes a wealth of standard equipment such as air conditioning, car steering, AM/FM stereo radio, rear window defroster/wiper/scrubber and remote control back door unlocking. Its innovative interior features include comfortable ergonomic seats, logic controls and high-quality switches, as well as a maintenance reminder system for oil changes, tire changes and more.
As a government official car, this car is mainly painted in black, white, silver gray, and copper color. In China, the name is set as "Yage", and the related trademark has been registered with the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, and its Chinese pinyin "Yage" has also been registered abroad, and the Accord sedan will also be assembled and produced at the Georgia plant in the United States at the end of this year.
The situation that this car will be produced in the United States has been informed to Fu Yulong and other Chinese leaders, although they do not understand why it is produced in the United States and not in China, so Lin Qiangsheng explained to them the increasingly severe protectionism of the United States, the new US government will adopt stricter protection measures and bills for the local car industry, and a large number of Japanese cars have entered the American car market has almost overwhelmed American giants such as GM Ford. At this time, it is better to make less money than to let the US political circles and media pay attention to Chinese-made cars, otherwise the Americans will definitely put Chinese cars on the same strike list, which will also have an adverse impact on China's foreign policy.
After Fu Yulong and others understood the situation, they learned that the foreign market is not something they can enter if they want to, and everyone is disappointed that they can only hope that this car will be better produced in the United States. Fortunately, Lin Qiangsheng promised to import a large number of auto parts and let Harbin export spare parts to achieve the purpose of earning foreign exchange, which is also good news.
