"If the motivation is not strong enough, how do you optimize the passability?" Chen Zhiwen asked again.

Fuel consumption and power, this is two eternal opposing issues, the two can only take one of them, this is the consensus of everyone, unless the engine technology is against the sky, the combustion efficiency is very high, but it is obviously impossible, the development of fuel vehicles to a few decades later, before and after almost a hundred years, although the engine thermal efficiency is constantly improving, the speed of progress is very slow, any car company, want to develop in this field, are required to invest tens of billions of funds for research and development.

Moreover, even if there is, how can Honda sell it to himself, this technology acquisition Chen Zhiwen also knows that it is North American AMC in the name of the American company, went to Japan to talk, and the purchase, is also the general technology in the hands of Honda, compared with the current Japanese engine technology is two grades worse, and this technology can only be used in small engines, in the 70s, it is a small model technology that Honda put in the Japanese local market, and the follow-up technology is updated and iterated, plus the small engine is not suitable for the main market of the United States, It's not going to be used slowly.

AMC sent people to Japan, found several companies to discuss the purchase of this technology, and finally bought an old production line and all related technology patents for $13 million, some of which can be used on other AMC models.

Wuling's models must be fuel-efficient, otherwise there is absolutely no market, because its main market is commercial, to transport goods to many people, is a basic demand, so to speak, is a closed rainproof minivan.

"Because considering the future of Wuling, it is mainly commercial, and the demand for high speed is not large, so we adjusted the low-speed torque, so that the power output is very strong at low speed, with the high chassis, the passability is very strong, but at high speed it is relatively weak, and the impact on fuel consumption is not great." Director Qian explained.

"These models haven't been tested in various ways, have they?" Tian Xuecheng on the side asked.

"Yes, at present, it has only gone through some simple in-plant tests, high and low temperature static tests, and it will take a while for road tests, and the procedures on the government side have not been completed, and at present, we can only conduct simple road tests in our test site." Director Qian replied.

"Where are you going to go for a road test?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"In the north, we will go to the northernmost Heilongjiang, Inner Mongolia and other parts of the region, in the south, it is the two Guangxi area, mainly to consider the test of high temperature and low temperature, the western region will also have, the Gobi low-end for the chassis tire test is very good, other places, is the normal test, but in order to save costs, we also consider sending some cars directly to some local governments that often use cars, which is good for both of us." Director Qian said.

"Then you need the consent of the local government, right?" Chen Zhiwen asked, for people who need to use the car and then test the performance of the want and the car is naturally very good for car companies, but the premise is that the vehicle must be qualified to go on the road, otherwise it is illegal to go on the road and sell.

"Yes, we will also communicate with the government in this regard, which should not be a problem, and we are also going through the normal process to apply for a road test, and if a traffic accident is caused by the failure of the vehicle itself, we also need to be held responsible, but this matter may be a little difficult to explain." Director Qian said.

"Well, just follow the process, the responsibility should be ours, and we don't have to admit it, the automotive industry has its own risks." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said. Although it is a bit difficult to say, many technologies do require a lot of trial and error to grow, and the automotive industry is a little better, and good control can minimize losses, and the pharmaceutical industry is the big one.

"Okay." Director Qian said.

"How long does the road test take?" Tian Xuecheng asked again.

"It takes about a year, and the normal road test can be speeded up by adding more people and spending more money, but in the cold and hot environment of winter and summer, you can only wait." Director Qian said.

"Okay, the test must be done well, Wuling can be said to be our first self-developed product, and it is absolutely necessary to ensure that it is listed in the best condition." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

The best state, not to say the best, compared to other cars, Wuling price is very cheap, that naturally it is impossible to do in place, but you need to try to find out all kinds of problems, to ensure quality, especially not to break down often.

In the future, Wuling needs to be sold all over the country, especially when global warming is not very serious, the winter in the entire mainland is still very cold, especially in the north, in an extremely low temperature environment, the car can rest for cooking, after all, the oil may also freeze, but in a normal low temperature environment, it is still necessary to ensure stability, if it can't be done, it is basically insulated in the northern market.

In the same way, if Wuling wants to sell to Southeast Asia, it must have strong heat resistance, and even need to be corrosion-resistant.

Of course, considering the cost, these two situations can be set up two special models, for example, the north does not need refrigeration and air conditioning, but the southern models, maybe high configuration can be matched, this is actually also because, its own car air conditioning parts company, can reduce the cost to a minimum, otherwise this model can not be equipped with air conditioning.

But most of the structures and materials are still the same, and they all need to be tested.

"Chen Sheng can rest assured that all the tests and acceptances are standardized, and the AMC side will also test them together." Director Qian said.

"Yes." Tian Xuecheng also nodded and said, although AMC is not very large-scale, it has a history of several decades, and there should still be process standard control.

"Okay, then let's get in the car and experience this car." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said.

The car made by Yanjing Jeep, he is not very interested in test driving, because the difference between it and the American-made model is that some parts are domestic, and the assembly process may also be a little different.

And Wuling is a new car, but also their own entry into the automotive industry of a small road overtaking, if this model is built, although it is a low-end model with small profits, but as long as the amount is large, it can also become a small overlord.

In the automotive industry, Chen Zhiwen never thought of going to the level of Red Bull or Midea today, as long as he can have certain achievements, it is enough, this is a goal, and it is more difficult, but because of this, there is a new goal in life, just like Samsung in the 90s, although Samsung finally failed because of the Asian financial crisis, but at that time Li Jianxi's idea, Chen Zhiwen still agreed, super rich, also have a goal in life, some Western tycoons, even think about running for president or parliamentarians and so on.

"This car is a manual transmission, and it's not easy to drive, so I'll drive it." Director Qian said with a smile.

"Okay, let's just experience it." Chen Zhiwen nodded, although the current mainstream of the international market is automatic transmission, but manual transmission still occupies a large position, this is because the current automatic transmission technology cost is still too high, and the optimization is not enough, many aspects are not as good as manual transmission, and even fuel consumption is much higher, and it is easy to break, therefore, ordinary price models, even in developed countries such as Europe, America and Japan, there are still many manual transmissions, Wuling takes the low-end route, naturally manual transmission.

However, their group of Hong Kong tycoons is naturally dominated by high-end automatic transmission cars, including Chen Zhiwen, although he can drive, and when he learned to drive, he also had a manual transmission, but he forgot about it later, and he was not interested in learning again, after all, he basically didn't even drive a car.

The sound of the "boom" engine sounded, and Chen Zhiwen, who was sitting in the rear, immediately felt the vibration under the seat, and the sound of the engine in front of the car was not small, and he didn't know how many decibels, but it was a little difficult to whisper in the car.

Wuling Shenche soon moved, in front of their location, there was a gate to go out, and soon Wuling opened out, and the sunlight from the outside world immediately exposed to everyone, Director Wang immediately rolled down the window next to him, and it was much more comfortable after the wind blew in, although the wind was also hot.

After half a circle in the entire Jeep factory, he drove to the test site next door, where there are simple stone roads and some blue roads, all of which simulate various common environments.

Although it is not long, he estimates that such a frequency will definitely make people a little uncomfortable for a long time.

The car drove on different roads for about 20 minutes in total, and then returned to the place where it had just been driven, and after everyone got out of the car, Director Qian said a little embarrassedly: "Sorry, Chen Sheng, Wuling's car is much worse in terms of comfort." ”

"This car doesn't need comfort, it's positioned like this, and it just needs to be able to reduce the cost." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said.

Modern cars are very high-tech, and even higher in a few decades, but in fact, they are mainly used on how to improve comfort, because cars are made for people, and most of them are still made for many rich people or the middle class, but people who have some conditions are very concerned about comfort.

On a mechanical structure that burns gasoline and exceeds a ton, it also needs to drive at high speed, including various road conditions, and has to deal with various climates such as high and low temperatures, heavy storms and rains.

Let's just say that the simplest engine, if you want to be comfortable, you must find ways to reduce vibration, and the gearbox must also be very perfect, otherwise it will be stuck, if you want to do these two things well, what you need is hundreds of billions of research and development, and the Volkswagen Mercedes-Benz BMW of later generations has not completely done a good job in various collocations for decades.

But if you don't care about vibration and stuttering, then this kind of engine technology, a car brand with a little ability can do it well. In the same way, the same is true for various problems such as chassis vibration and interior noise, as long as you don't care, or don't consider these when developing new models, the whole development difficulty will be exponentially reduced.

Of course, saying that you don't think about it is only relative, not that you don't care about it at all.

Wuling's strengths are these, the performance of the cost of the bottom line, itself is not a product of enjoyment, but the means of production that can make money, this is different from any other car companies.

"Yes, the cost of this car is very low, we estimated, the price of the terminal, can be set at 30,000 yuan, if the production is high, it can continue to decline." Director Qian smiled and said.

"30,000 RMB?" Director Wang's face on the side was full of shock.
