Digital technology promotes the reform of China’s automobile industry

New energy vehicles are the main direction of global automobile industry transformation and upgrading and green development, and also the strategic choice for China’s automobile industry to develop with high quality and achieve overtaking in corners. In recent years, with the support of relevant policies, major domestic automobile manufacturers have made clear their development goals, accelerated transformation and upgrading, optimized their internal operation modes, and actively cooperated with upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain to jointly promote the development of China’s new energy automobile industry and made remarkable achievements.

Specifically, under the background of globalization and digitalization, electrification and intelligence have become an important direction and the only way in the process of automobile industry reform. But it also brings great challenges to traditional automobile manufacturers, especially in the field of intelligence, which has become the focus of market competition at present and even in the future. Therefore, the "single-player" operation mode can no longer adapt to the development of today’s times, and the cooperation between enterprises will become more important.

Therefore, the participation of technology companies will press the "acceleration button" for the innovation and transformation of automobile manufacturers. As the world’s leading provider of information and communication technology solutions, Huawei has always been committed to providing innovative solutions and technical support for all walks of life. Today, Huawei has taken the automobile business as one of the important development directions of the enterprise, and provided standardized parts model, HI model and HarmonyOS Zhixing model for its partners. Relying on Huawei’s smart car incremental parts products, technical solutions and excellent brand marketing experience accumulated by Huawei terminals, we will deeply empower partners and continue to lead the new era of smart electric vehicles.

Take Wenjie M9 as an example, it is the first flagship SUV of HarmonyOS Zhixing, equipped with Huawei’s full-stack smart car technology solution, and is committed to changing people’s travel modes with ten smart cars "black technology", including HUAWEIXPIXEL million pixel smart projection headlights, HarmonyOS cockpit with ten screens, Huawei’s head-up display system, HUAWEIADS2.0 advanced intelligent driver assistance system, and ultra-dimensional safety system. While bringing users a full-scene intelligent experience, it also provides important reference value for the digital intelligent transformation of China’s new energy automobile industry.

At present, China’s new energy vehicles mainly include pure electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles, etc. The product lines are relatively rich, and the vehicle types are also covered from mini-cars to full-size vehicles, which basically meet the needs of consumers. According to the data of the Association, from January to November 2023, the cumulative retail sales of new energy passenger cars in China reached 6.809 million, a year-on-year increase of 35.2%. It accounts for about 35% of China’s total automobile sales. As the data shows, new energy vehicles are developing rapidly, and the higher the market share means that more consumers are willing to buy new energy vehicles.

As the final work in the field of high-end intelligent new energy vehicles in 2023, Wenjie M9 has attracted much attention from the market. It is understood that the number of blind orders for new cars has reached 54,000 before they are listed, which is enough to prove consumers’ expectations and recognition. Behind the figures, the change of consumption concept can be reflected. As a mass consumer product, the value of automobile is in the process of changing from basic quality and function to higher experience demand. Consumers are no longer simply satisfied with the traditional role brought by automobile, but pursue a higher level of user experience.

It is the user experience that defines the core strength of the product that makes the M9 in the world. With the unique product design, ever-changing and practical driving space, the leading generation of intelligent cockpit and higher-level intelligent driving system, it will fill the user’s experience in minutes and stimulate consumers’ desire to buy. It is not difficult to see that the listing of the M9 will help boost the consumption of new energy vehicles. Good market performance will also enhance the confidence of the booming brands in the world, continue to increase research and development efforts, and launch more high-quality models. At the same time, the support of consumers can fully mobilize the enthusiasm of industrial transformation and promote the steady growth of the market, which is expected to bring broader market incremental space.

China brand reshapes the new pattern of global automobile industry development.

The new energy vehicle market is one of the important fields of global economic development. In the past few years, driven by relevant policies and technological progress, China’s new energy vehicle field has shown great development potential and broad market prospects.

As mentioned above, China’s new energy vehicles continue to show explosive growth, the market scale is leading the world, and the brand continues to break through. A new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is leading a group of outstanding China brand automobile enterprises to rise rapidly, and their global influence is increasing day by day. China has become the largest exporter of new energy automobile products in the world. This has a profound impact on the reconstruction of the global automobile industry innovation map and market competition pattern.

Nowadays, China brand cars have shown strong innovation ability and competitiveness in the global market. From the product level, the Wenjie M9 is one of the representative models in the era of new energy vehicles, which affects the industrial development trend and consumption direction. From electrification leading to intelligence leading, it not only reflects the confidence of enterprises in core technical strength, but also highlights the tenacious determination of China brand to shine on the global stage. Looking forward to the future, we have reason to believe that China New Energy Vehicle will continue to lead the global automobile industry reform and development with excellent quality, innovative technology and green concept.

Volvo Cars announced that its net profit in 2021 increased by 82% year-on-year.

  [Pacific Auto Network] Recently, Auto announced its revenue and profit in 2021. According to the official, consumers’ demand for the car is still strong despite the continuous shortage of spare parts in the automobile industry.

  Specifically, Volvo Car’s revenue in 2021 increased from SEK 262.8 billion in the previous year to SEK 282 billion, an increase of 7%. Operating profit increased from SEK 8.5 billion in the previous year to SEK 20.3 billion, up 138% year-on-year, and the operating profit margin was 7.2%. Net profit increased from SEK 7.8 billion to SEK 14.2 billion, an increase of 82%.

  "2021 is a proud year for Volvo Cars," said H? Kan Samuelsson said, "Despite the continuous shortage of parts and components in the automotive industry, our global market share has increased and we have achieved unprecedented high income and profit margin."

  According to official information, in the last quarter of 2021, Volvo Car’s revenue was 80.1 billion Swedish kronor, down 6% year-on-year. Although consumer demand and orders have been strong, automobile production was limited due to the shortage of chips. The operating profit for the quarter was SEK 3.7 billion, and the operating profit rate was 7.1%.

  Compared with the same period in 2020, the sales of Volvo Cars in the fourth quarter of 2021 decreased by 20%. The company’s electrification series products continue to be welcomed by the market. In the fourth quarter of 2021, the series vehicles accounted for 34% of the company’s global sales, plug-in vehicles accounted for 28% of Volvo’s total sales, and pure electric vehicles accounted for 6% of the total sales.

  As Volvo Cars increases the annual production capacity of pure electric vehicles to 150,000 vehicles, the proportion of pure electric vehicles in the total sales will double compared with 2021. Looking ahead, Volvo officials said that the uncertainty of the automobile industry is still high. Although the shortage of spare parts has eased, the supply chain is expected to remain a constraint. At the same time, Volvo Cars continues to see strong customer demand and predicts that the growth rate of electric vehicles will be faster than the overall market, which will enable the company’s sales to continue to grow in 2022.

The wide rear fender can highlight the wildness of the vehicle. After all, as a medium-sized SUV, momentum is essential.

BYD Tang New Energy 2022 DM-p 215KM four-wheel drive flagship model

  After entering the car, we can still easily identify that it is a BYD brand. The layout of the center console has not changed significantly. The exaggerated center console is very eye-catching. At the same time, the overall quality of the car has once again reached a higher level. The two-color design adopted in the center console and door panels can create a warmer cockpit atmosphere.

Great Wall Motor Mocha DHT-PHEV 2022 1.5T 0 Anxious Wisdom Edition

"Moka DHT-PHEV 2022 1.5T 0 Anxious Wisdom Edition"

  With the announcement of the price of the new car, its competitors have surfaced, which is the Wei brand Moka DHT-PHEV model that has received much attention before. The two are similar in price and positioning. However, based on BYD’s profound knowledge in the field of plug-in hybrid, Tang DM-p seems to have a unique advantage. From the former "542" to today’s DM-p platform, BYD has obvious advantages in both market share and popularity in the plug-in hybrid market.

BYD Han EV test drive evaluation: luxury and technology both live up to the name of flagship.

  Original title: BYD Han EV test drive evaluation: luxury and technology live up to the name of flagship

  Beijing, September 6 (Reporter Zhang Xu) Since the listing of Han EV, it has become BYD’s hottest pure electric car. As a flagship model, it integrates all new technologies and technologies. Brand-new design language, luxurious interior atmosphere, blade battery, IPB intelligent brake and Dillink 3.0 intelligent network connection system are all applied to Han EV, and they live up to the name of flagship.

  Another Deduction of Oriental Aesthetics

  Han EV adopts the latest EV Dragon face family design language. Compared with the previous EV models, it simplifies the exaggerated big mouth grille design and replaces it with this widened matte metal trim. The flat design is not only simple and elegant, but also improves the sense of the whole front.

(Photo by Yang Guangwang reporter Zhang Xu)

  The shape of the headlights is slender and magical, and its light source adopts a matrix LED light group. When you unlock the vehicle, LED daytime running lights and LED headlights light up in turn, just like waking up a sleeping dragon, which is very sci-fi. At the same time, the inner folding line design of the lower part of the front bumper with the figure-eight diversion duct not only enriches the shape of the front face, but also brings a strong sense of movement. This brand-new design style has become a unique symbol of BYD EV models.

(Photo by Yang Guangwang reporter Zhang Xu)

  From the side, the first impression of Han EV is long, very long. As a flagship model, its body length reaches 4980mm, its width is 1910mm, and its height is only 1495 mm. Together with the wheelbase of 2920mm, it makes the whole look very long and narrow. The through waistline creates a dive posture, and the design that the arched lines at the rear fender are combined with the tailgate cover shows the car’s sense of strength and movement to the fullest.

(Photo by Yang Guangwang reporter Zhang Xu)

  In fact, there are some hidden design details and technical configurations on the side of the car body. The first is the hidden electric door handle, which increases the sense of ceremony and also reduces the wind resistance. In addition, the extended door handle is engraved with the LOGO of "Han". This detail is handled very delicately, which always shows the identity of the flagship model.

  Secondly, the exterior rearview mirror similar to the shape of water droplets can further support the reduction of wind resistance. NFC function logo is also marked on the exterior rearview mirror. When you forget to bring your car keys when you travel, you can easily do it with your mobile phone, which is convenient and practical. In addition, thanks to the smooth body lines of the whole vehicle and these fine designs, Han EV can have a drag coefficient of 0.233.

  The design of the rear of the car is still simple and clear. The rear is formed by multiple horizontal lines, which makes the overall visual width even better. The through taillights are decorated with silver chrome, which looks very delicate. The most special thing is that the taillights incorporate the design elements of the dragon claws, and the red light strips inside are very beautiful after lighting.

(Photo by Yang Guangwang reporter Zhang Xu)

  Luxury and technology coexist.

  The center console of Han EV is still a familiar dynasty series style. The rotatable central control screen is eye-catching. The leather package that can be reached everywhere is matched with wooden decorative boards and leather stitching, which creates the texture and luxury atmosphere of the whole interior in a very good position.

  In fact, sitting in the car, the first impression is not this luxurious and scientific center console. It’s the seat of Han EV, which is really comfortable. The seat is made of perforated leather, which is in place for leg support, waist support, wrapping on both sides and head support, and the padding of the seat is very soft, just like sitting on a soft and supportive leather sofa. In addition, the seat is also equipped with ventilation and heating function, which can bring high-quality riding experience in winter and summer.

  The steering wheel is designed with a flat-bottomed Shuang Fu, with excellent grip and reasonable layout of multi-function buttons on both sides, making it easy for people to find the corresponding functions.

(Photo by Yang Guangwang reporter Zhang Xu)

  It is not surprising that the 12.3-inch full LCD dashboard appears on BYD models, and the information that can be displayed is also very rich, and it provides three theme modes: classic, concise and sports. However, with the switching of ECO/SPORT driving modes, each theme will also present two different color backgrounds.

(Photo by Yang Guangwang reporter Zhang Xu)

  BYD’s latest DiLink3.0 car system is installed in this 15.6-inch rotating screen. The brand-new UI design is the biggest change of the new system. Its design is inspired by Tai Chi and ancient jade elements, and with high resolution and good response speed, the central control screen has excellent visual sense and practicality.

(Photo by Yang Guangwang reporter Zhang Xu)

  Han EV’s gear area was officially named "BYDHeart Dragon’s Heart". Its brand-new gear is small and full to grasp, and the layout design of surrounding buttons also improves the convenience of operation. This area is equipped with multiple function buttons such as automatic parking, volume adjustment, driving mode adjustment, kinetic energy recovery adjustment, etc. However, there are also some regrets. Bright black is seriously reflective in the case of sufficient light, and it is still difficult to operate this area while driving.

(Photo by Yang Guangwang reporter Zhang Xu)

  Sitting in the back row, the comfort of the seat is as good as that of the front row. The head, back and legs are well supported and wrapped, and the padding in the seat is soft enough. In addition, the boss key, the co-pilot, and the independent air conditioning control panel in the back row are standard in all the EV systems.

  Beyond the driving experience of the same level

  The model we tested this time is the distinguished version of Han EV with long battery life. It adopts the power layout of single motor precursor, and is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with the maximum power of 163kW and the maximum torque of 330N·m, and the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is 7.9 seconds. Although it is not as fast as 3.9 seconds per 100 kilometers of the four-wheel drive high-performance flagship model, it can only make a choice in order to have a battery life of 605KM.

  BYD’s blade battery is the highlight, and the space utilization rate inside its battery pack can be improved by 60%-80% compared with the traditional battery pack. This also makes the battery capacity reach 77kWh and the energy density reach 140Wh/kg.

(Photo by Yang Guangwang reporter Zhang Xu)

  In daily driving, the accelerator pedal and brake adjustment of Han EV are more like a fuel car. When the vehicle starts to accelerate, the power output of the motor is linear and uniform without any sudden feeling. When braking, the vehicle will stop linearly according to the driver’s braking force. It is worth mentioning that when the vehicle decelerates at low speed, the initial braking force is slightly stiff, but the situation has improved after the adjustment of the comfort of the brake pedal.

  The new car offers three driving modes, except snow mode, ECO and SPORT are the two most commonly used modes. Because it is a single motor model, when driving in ECO or SPORT mode, I feel that there is not much difference between them, but the dynamic response of the latter is faster.

(Photo by Yang Guangwang reporter Zhang Xu)

  In addition, the car also provides standard and large two-stage kinetic energy recovery adjustment. When the kinetic energy recovery is in the standard mode, after releasing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle will slow down like a fuel truck without any dragging feeling; When the kinetic energy recovery level is high, although the vehicle will obviously slow down, it does not bring a strong sense of drag, and the whole kinetic energy recovery process is smooth and natural.

(Photo by Yang Guangwang reporter Zhang Xu)

  Han EV has excellent control over NVH. In terms of wind noise, thanks to the double-layer glass in the front row, almost no obvious noise can be heard within 100km/h, and the interior quietness is very satisfactory. Compared with the former, the performance of tire noise is slightly inferior. When the vehicle passes through some rough sections, the noise is more obvious, but it is within the acceptable range.

(Photo by Yang Guangwang reporter Zhang Xu)

  The car adopts the combination of front McPherson independent suspension and rear multi-link independent suspension, and the chassis suspension is set with toughness, which ensures the comfort of the car and has certain support. In the face of bumps such as speed bumps, manhole covers and damaged roads, it is handled properly without unnecessary shaking, but the vibration filtering effect is slightly not calm enough for continuous fine vibration.

  summary

  On the whole, the performance of Han EV is quite outstanding. Whether it is the appearance value, interior materials, high configuration and technical strength, it is well-deserved as BYD’s flagship car. And it can meet the needs of many consumers for space, quality and configuration at a price of less than 300 thousand yuan, which may be the secret of keeping sales of Han EV.

Can waste lithium batteries be recycled by throwing them into alkaline water? Lawrence national laboratory introduces new battery materials.

  Recycling used lithium batteries is a good business.

  However, at present, mainstream battery recycling enterprises have to face a big trouble, that is, the process of battery recycling consumes a lot of energy, has high economic cost, and will produce a large number of toxic by-products.

  At the beginning of February, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBL) announced on its official website that the relevant team of the laboratory had developed a Quick-Release Binder. When lithium-ion batteries using this quick-release binder are recycled, they only need to be disassembled and put into alkaline water at room temperature, and the electrode components can be separated by gentle shaking, and then the required components can be filtered out of the water and air-dried.

  At present, the relevant teams are cooperating with onto technologies, an American battery recycling company, to conduct tests, which will soon be introduced to the market.

  It is understood that the binder is a colloidal substance used in most types of batteries (including lithium-ion batteries and commonly used alkaline batteries). Every battery has two electrodes — — A positive electrode and a negative electrode. The electrode is made of conductive chemicals that generate current, and the adhesive binds these active chemical components together and fixes them in a proper position to achieve consistent and lasting performance.

  The quick-release adhesive invented by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory staff is made of two commercially available polymer materials, polyacrylic acid (PAA) and polyethyleneimine (PEI), which are connected by chemical bonds between positively charged nitrogen atoms in PEI and negatively charged oxygen atoms in PAA.

  When the solid bonding material is placed in a solution containing sodium hydroxide (Na+OH – ) in alkaline water, sodium ions will enter the connection site, thus separating the two polymer materials. The separated polymer dissolves in the liquid, releasing any electrode components embedded in it.

  The left vial contains a copper foil of the battery current collector. After the quick-release adhesive is dissolved, the valuable electrode components in the battery have been completely released. In the vial on the right, the adhesive is rapidly dissolving in alkaline water. In contrast, the traditional binder strongly adheres the electrode material to the current collector like glue, which makes it difficult to separate and recycle the battery electrode material.

  This is in sharp contrast with the current recycling of waste lithium-ion batteries. It is understood that taking the pyrometallurgical method of lithium-ion battery recycling technology as an example, it is necessary to chop and grind the battery and separate the metal and elements after combustion. The recycling process is not only high in energy consumption and cost, but also releases toxic chemicals that must be handled carefully.

  The quick-release adhesive of Lawrence Laboratories team can be used to manufacture the positive and negative electrodes of batteries, and the price is about one tenth of that of the two most commonly used commercial adhesives for batteries.

  Liu Gao, a senior scientist in the field of energy technology in Berkeley Lab, a member of the Energy Storage Center of Berkeley Lab and the project leader, said: "If we don’t stop burning batteries and throwing them into the trash can, we will run out of resources in the next decade. Cobalt and nickel are not enough, and we must recycle them, otherwise we can’t keep up with the market demand for batteries. "

  Another member of the team said, "In the laboratory scale, preparation is very easy, and we don’t think it will be difficult to promote it to the commercial scale." The team believes that this material can be applied to batteries of all sizes, from small batteries in mobile phones to energy storage batteries in power grids.

  The team’s tests show that this adhesive can be applied to various battery types, such as button cell in the picture.

  In late September 2022, this technology was rated as one of the 100 revolutionary technologies developed globally in 2022 by R&D 100 Awards.

  OnTo Technology, an American battery company, is working with Liu Gao’s team to complete product testing and bring it to market. The existing experiments show that the quick-release adhesive is very stable under high voltage and low voltage, and researchers now plan to use this adhesive to build a prototype lithium-ion battery to analyze its performance.

  According to Steve Sloop, the founder of OnTo Technology, the rapid release of adhesive represents a paradigm shift in battery design. This design paradigm is no longer to design the battery first and try to create a recycling process afterwards, but to become the first design for recycling.

  Assuming that the test goes well, the technology will smoothly transition to commercial manufacturing. Steve Sloop said, "The battery does not contain perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which is also a great achievement — — PFAS is a compound used to make non-stick coatings and many other products, but it may cause many health-related problems. "

  It is understood that the development of this quick-release adhesive has been supported by the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy of the US Department of Energy.
