*******************
"Well, now this car is still using the provincial aerospace institute, and the engine factory shared by our Brilliance comes from Mitsubishi's 2.0 old nose, so the power performance is still a little worse, but we now have several other plans, launched at the same time, but if you want to wait for the new engine to come out, you have to wait until after the next year at the earliest."
Li Yifan frowned and said, to be honest, he was not very satisfied with the engine of this 4G series, but there was no way, even if they wanted to get a new engine out now, it would not be so easy.
And he didn't know how much shock he had brought to Li Zheng and Pan Xiang with what he said casually.
Although they don't have much contact with this young little boss, they also know that this little boss usually talks and rarely talks big.
He said that after a year, he would definitely be able to make a new engine after a year, but boss, how difficult this engine is, do you know?
Let's just say that at present, in China, North FAW and Puhai Motor, which have joined forces with Volkswagen, have been working with Volkswagen for so long, but if you let them build an engine by themselves, they still can't build it.
As for the other two private enterprises in China, it is needless to say.
Chery and Geely, if it is said that the production of small displacement engines, such as a zero-point engine, is still alive. After all, they've all done motorcycles before. What kind of small engine has experience.
But I don't want to say much about the big ones. Let's just say that the four-cylinder engine used in the mainstream of automobiles on the market, 1.6 displacement, 1.8L, 2.0L, and 2.4L, these mainstream four-cylinder engines, they can get each of them.
If Chery and Geely need to use such engines, they generally purchase them from the aerospace institutes in the provincial capitals, although they also have their own plans to design and develop their own engines. But it's not something that can be done in three or five years.
Geely heard that it was doing it on its own, and Chery simply cooperated with a company in Austria and asked for help to design and develop the engine.
As soon as they thought of this, Li Zheng and Pan Xiang felt that the leader of Chery really didn't know what to think?
Aren't you spending money to help others develop talents? If you have the money for cooperation, why don't you rush to build a research institute and invite some senior teachers to cultivate your own design and R&D capabilities? I really don't know what to call 1
However, from these details alone, it can already be seen how difficult it is to design and develop an engine by yourself.
But they're the boss. The light tone in front of them when talking about designing and developing a new engine is as if they were talking about a very inconspicuous thing.
If this is said by someone else. Li Zheng and Pan Xiang must have spat on him, but as soon as their boss said this, they didn't know why, so they believed it.
Because they can feel that self-confidence from this boss, the confidence that does not need to shout slogans and show determination.
Such self-confidence, they have never seen in anyone else!
In fact, Li Yifan really didn't brag with the two of them, you must know that some time ago, he went to Europe, and that time he didn't run in vain, but he moved Sabo's database all at once.
At the end of last year, those materials were successively transported back to China by him, and the first thing to come back was the technical data baked into the hard disk.
Later, some key materials were transported back by sea.
With these information, it can be said that the engineers of Chenhua Automobile Company are like tigers.
These materials can be said to be various, but they are quite comprehensive, and the three major items about automobiles are all involved.
For example, the engine, Saab is in the field of turbocharged engines, but they are the originators of the world, and they are the first to play turbocharged engines in the world.
Later, due to the pressure of funds and the parent company GM, their development in this area gradually slowed down, but even so, their technology still left a very valuable legacy to GM after the collapse.
You must know that before the 2008 world financial crisis, the world's hegemon in the automotive field like General Motors didn't even bother to play turbocharging technology.
They have always built cars according to the American concept, large displacement, and comfortable driving, which is their characteristic.
But after the 2008 global financial crisis, GM also entered bankruptcy protection, and they lost a series of losses in the market, and the failure was due to the poor sales of their models around the world.
And the reason why they don't sell well is because they don't pay enough attention to the market, and the world is already in the oil crisis before the global financial crisis.
It is not because of the troubles of the oil-exporting countries, but because of the rise of China, but because of the country's total oil imports, which has caused the price of oil to soar.
Consumers all over the world must not face the threat of high oil prices, so that more fuel-efficient cars have become the favorite of car owners.
And after the outbreak of the financial crisis in 2008, even the local tyrants in the United States couldn't stand the high oil prices and the general oil tigers.
In this way, how can GM's cars still be sold?
After entering the bankruptcy protection process, GM quickly adjusted its production and design ideas, and they began to actively move closer to the world's mainstream small-displacement fuel-efficient vehicles.
Turbocharged engines, which were previously dismissive, have returned to the vision of GM designers, and Saab's legacy has allowed them to launch several turbocharged engines in a row in less than two years, and all of them can be classified as performance monsters.
For example, the 2.0T engine that was later used in China on Regal and LaCrosse can turn Volkswagen's turbo engine into slag in seconds, both in terms of data and in actual use.
And almost all of these techniques are derived from the technical reservations they made when they auctioned Saab in the first place.
You must know that Volkswagen has been insisting on the field of turbocharged engines for decades, but in the end, it still has a problem of burning engine oil and truth, and people GM directly took Saab's turbocharged engine technology and modified it, and used it directly, which can compete with Volkswagen, which shows the strength of Saab's turbocharged engine.
Now Li Yifan has also developed a set of these technologies, and all he needs is time, give him three years, and when his engineers have thoroughly understood all these technologies, then it will be the time for them to develop their Chenhua Automobile.
But now, I can only use the nose of Mitsubishi's 4G series first.
As for the transmission, he also got a set of 5AT automatic transmissions from Saab, which is also independently developed by Saab's engineers, and it is also a good thing.
You must know that the current mainstream automatic transmission in the domestic market is just a 4AT, and the Accord has won the title of high-tech just by relying on a 5AT, and it is proud of its sales.
If next year they use this set of 5AT technology in their own cars after they have thoroughly eaten the technology, then can they compete with the Accord?
Even if you can't resist the Accord, it can definitely reduce the negative image of the Chinese people on the low technology content of domestic cars!
In these years, the speed of decentralization of technology is not as fast as it was more than ten years later, so this set of 5AT transmissions can support it for several years in China.
It is estimated that after 08 years, you will be able to use the 6AT transmission for your own car.
Now Zhou Yuanchao, who was poached from DSI in Australia, and his team have been put in place, although many people still insist on staying in Australia to work, but with Li Yifan's strength, it is not a big problem for them to build a studio in Australia, and because of the expansion of the network, remote office is no longer a problem.
Now the main work of Zhou Yuanchao's team is to modify the 6AT transmission adapted to the rear-wheel drive model at DSI to the 6AT transmission suitable for the front-wheel drive model.
You must know that after Geely acquired DSI in Australia, it did the same.
It's just that no one pays attention to this now, after all, Australia's DSI has been declining in the field of transmissions, because it does not pay attention to the development of overseas markets, and often retains the arrogant momentum of its own Caucasians, so that they are more and more unpopular with others in the world.
In Europe and the Americas, there are many strong players, they have no market at all, and in Asia, it is the world of the Japanese, and they also can't get through.
Originally, if they obediently cooperated with Huaguo's automobile companies, they could still survive for a while, but these Australian ladies are arrogant and look down on our Huaguo enterprises, so what awaits them can only be a dead end.
As for the chassis, that's even more to say.
At that time, Saab's propaganda slogan was the integration of people and vehicles, flying close to the ground, and the driving experience.
What does this mean, this shows that their chassis tuning itself is quite good, and even after GM acquired this company, it also specialized in studying and learning from their chassis tuning technology.
And this set of technology is also quite complex, after succeeding, it was worshiped by many engineers in the company.
However, the chassis of this Junjie is not bad, you must know that the later generation of this model without ESP, just relying on the chassis, in Germany to complete the antler experiment at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, that is quite a bullish performance.
After all, the chassis that was trained by the chassis engineers hired by Porsche at a large price is not bragging.
So Li Yifan didn't think about it, and didn't let the engineers replace the chassis of this Junjie.
But the same, after the technology is thoroughly understood, this technology can be used in other models...... (To be continued......)
