"Boss, I've been studying people's car habits for a while now, and I'm now, although families in the United States and Europe own more than one car, but the empty rate of these cars is quite high, although there are no accurate statistics, but the preliminary estimate is that in the total use time of 7o% to 8o%, the car is used by only one person."

"The fuel consumption of these cars per 100 kilometers is generally more than 8 liters, and the body length is generally more than 4.4 meters, which not only occupies more floor space and wastes more fuel, but also increases the cost of people's use, and parking is also a big problem."

"Think about it, if there is an entry-level mini car on the market that uses an exhaust of less than 6oocc, consumes less than 4 liters per 100 kilometers, has 2 to 4 seats, is less than 3 meters in length, and costs only 1ooooo dollars, people can drive this elf-like car freely through the city's buildings, which is both economical and environmentally friendly, as long as there is a random place to park the car, and the same parking lot can park almost twice as many cars, what a great innovation?"

Speaking of which, than Jon. Waldegard's eyes were shining, there was something called hope in it, "I have carefully studied the product lines of the world's major automobile manufacturers, although they have very rich and complete product lines, but they do not have such a car smaller than the AOO class, boss, I think this is our opportunity, this is my dream in life." ”

When Waldegard spoke, Lin Zheng had been listening very carefully, and waited until Waldegard finished speaking before Lin Zheng spoke, "Lao Wa, this kind of car smaller than the AOO-class sedan is not your patent, maybe you don't know, this kind of car is available in Japan." ”

"Do you have such cars in Japan?" Waldegard was stunned for a moment and looked at Lin Zheng blankly. His face was full of disbelief of loss.

"Yes, and there are many, and there seem to be models from all major Japanese car brands." Lin Zheng nodded, looking at Waldegard with a lost face, he could understand Waldegard's mood very well, he spent a lot of energy and thought to present a business opportunity, because he could make a lot of money with this method. But I didn't expect that my solution had already been realized by others, and this sense of disparity was really shocking, but as a boss, the most important thing I should do at this time is to tell him what I know.

"As far as I know, this type of car is called a 'light car' in Japan, also known as a 'k-car'. The size and price are basically the same as you said, depending on the brand and configuration, it seems to be between $7ooo and $12ooo, it seems to have been on display since the 5o years, as for the market share...... I guess it's probably not less than 2o%. ”

Lin Zheng's understanding of Japanese light automatic cars is very limited, only that this kind of car is called light automatic car in Japan, also known as K-car, and has been exhibited since the 5o years after World War II. After many years of exhibition, a fairly complete system and regulations on light automatic cars have been formed, and it seems that the exhaust volume of this kind of car is generally very small, and the size is about the same size as the Alto that has just come out in China, and it is very popular in Japan and is very popular with the Japanese.

In fact, at the end of 92 years from the Japanese Suzuki company introduced Alto this car in the seventies and eighties did belong to the category of light automatic cars, but after entering the 9o years, the Japanese government re-divided the definition of light automatic vehicles, stipulating that the maximum displacement of the motive is 66om1, and the displacement of "up to" 796m1 Alto has also been "promoted" from the category of light automatic cars to ordinary cars. If it weren't for the fact that Lin Zheng's first car was a three-handed Alto, he wouldn't have known so much about Japanese light automatic cars.

"I already have," Waldegard smiled bitterly, and the excitement in his eyes faded away, as if he had a beautiful dream, but when he woke up, he realized that it was just a dream...... No matter how beautiful a dream is, it's just a dream.

It's ridiculous that he still wants to rely on these maintenance technicians from China to form a research team. I built such a light vehicle with my own knowledge and experience of automobiles, but I didn't expect it to be just wishful thinking.

Lin Zheng patted Waldegard on the shoulder as a sign of comfort, he understood the feeling of this disillusionment, and only hoped that he could quickly come out of the shadow of failure. In order to comfort Waldegard, he even planned to give Waldegard a new project, "Okay, old Wa, don't think about this question, since you have been in the United States and Europe, let me ask you, why do Europeans like cars with manual transmissions?" I see that the traffic jam in the city is also very strict, when the traffic jam is stopped, keep stepping on the clutch and shifting, the left foot is tired and stupid, right? ”

"What's the way to be tired, who makes a manual transmission car cheaper," although Waldegard hadn't yet recovered from the loss of being hit just now, the question was too simple, and he replied absentmindedly, "Boss, don't you know?" Whether in Europe or the United States, the best selling model of the same model is always the lowest-spec model, well, that is, the model with manual transmission and cloth seats. ”

"As for the traffic jam, the left foot may be a little tired...... For the average person, this means they could spend between $5ooo and $1oooo less! This is not a small amount, for any average family, this figure is equivalent to two to three years of property tax in the United States, so you should be able to understand that it is acceptable to work your left foot in the face of real money. ”

I've got a slot! Lin Zheng couldn't help but complain about the black heart of the American imperialist again: After a few years, it is one thing for us to buy a house expensive, but we will pay a tax once when we apply for the real estate certificate. What about democracy and freedom?

But it doesn't seem to be my business? Anyway, it's Lao Mei who pays taxes, isn't it?

Thinking of the nonsense that some unscrupulous media in China vigorously promote that Westerners love manual transmission when buying a car because manual transmission is more fuel-efficient, Lin Zheng became more depressed in his heart: these well-known elites are really worthy of their reputation as well-known elites, and foreigners smell fragrant when they pull.

But Waldegard's answer made Lin Zhengyue affirm the feasibility of his idea, and immediately made a lot of fun, and immediately asked Waldegaard again, "Lao Wa, if there is such an intelligent automatic clutch device designed for manual transmission models, on the basis of not changing the original car gearbox and clutch, a set of independent systems can be installed through guò, and the clutch and clutch will be controlled by a microcomputer, so as to achieve 'driving gear shift without stepping on the clutch, You only need to manually switch the gear lever's effect, and you can realize the 'creep' driving function that the automatic transmission model will have in the case of traffic jams, which is equivalent to the original manual transmission has become a 'semi-automatic transmission', and you can switch back to the traditional manual transmission driving mode at any time, the cost control zhì is below 2oo US dollars, and the market price is about 5oo US dollars, do you think there will be a market for such a product? ”

"Adding an external automatic clutch to a manual transmission model?" Waldegard's eyes, who had just looked depressed, lit up suddenly!

As a former Rc world champion, Waldegard came into contact with the car itself is a "semi-automatic" model, the car in the process of high speed, according to the needs of the actual terrain need to switch between the foot clutch and the automatic clutch of the heel action, he is no stranger to the automatic clutch, want to add an additional set of automatic clutch on the manual transmission model without destroying the original shift mechanism is not difficult at all, for a knowledgeable and experienced former world champion, After he heard Lin Zheng's idea, he had already thought of what this system should do:

The hydraulic automatic clutch adds an electronic control unit (ECU) and a hydraulic actuation system on the basis of the current universal diaphragm clutch, and changes the pedal to control the clutch cylinder piston to the switch device to control the electric oil pump to control the clutch cylinder piston; The ECU and ECU are integrated, and the optimal engagement time and degree of the clutch are calculated based on sensor feedback information such as accelerator pedal, variable gear, variable input/output shaft rotation, motor rotation, and throttle opening.

The actuator of the automatic clutch is composed of an electric oil pump, a solenoid valve and a clutch cylinder, when the ECU sends a command to drive the electric oil pump, the high-pressure oil generated by the electric oil pump is transmitted to the clutch cylinder through the guò solenoid valve. The current flow of the solenoid valve is controlled to control the flow of oil and the channel change of oil, so as to realize the movement of the clutch cylinder piston, so as to complete the clutch action when the car starts and shifts, and finally realizes the effect of "no need to step on the clutch for shifting".

If you want to thoroughly experience the pure fun of manual transmission and practice the heel toe action, it's simple, just turn off the ECU, such a good idea, why didn't I think of it?! Waldegard wants to hit his head against the wall!

"There is a market! There is definitely a market! Waldegard's eyes were red, "The most rare thing in this is the design of the external ECU, except for this thing, there is no difficulty in other things, we can do it, I swear, as long as the price is only 5oo dollars, those who are fed up with manual transmission but are reluctant to buy automatic transmission guys will be crazy with joy." Waldegard said excitedly.

"Alright, this task is up to you." Looking at Waldegard, who had come out of the depression just now, Lin Zheng was also sincerely happy.

"No, boss," Waldegard suddenly reacted, and the whole person was excited, "Since Japan's light automatic car show has been going on for so many years, why can't you see it anywhere outside of Japan at all?" This...... I still have a chance! ”
