Chapter 1194

A car head is 1.2 to 2.5 times that of the existing fuel car head. Is the price high?

High, not high.

It is certain that the price is high. Calculated at the highest 2.5 times, the price of such a domestic car head is almost the same as the price of imported high-end car heads. Do you think the price is high?
But it is reasonable to say that it is not high. After all, this car is fuel-efficient. It is also calculated according to the fuel-saving rate of 45%. Although the price is hundreds of thousands higher, it can save the car owner 300 million worth during the entire life cycle. From this point of view, the car owner still earns money, and it is a huge profit!
For individual car owners, they may still struggle with the high down payment ratio, but for enterprise users, as long as they can be sure that this car head can really help them earn so much money, a higher price is never a problem. question!What's more, judging from the long-term development trend, the price of diesel must be getting higher and higher, which means that in the possible future, this car can help car owners save more and more fuel expenses.

The only problem is...

Cai Xiangdong frowned and asked Zhang Qihang: "Mr. Zhang, why is there such a difference in the price?"

Zhang Qihang explained: "Because this price is judged based on the experience of Huateng Motors in the hybrid system, but the problem is that this is just an idea, not even a concept. How big a battery pack should be used, what power motor should be used to meet the needs of the system, and how the entire system should be matched... These are all unknowns.

For example, in a car, a 1.7 kWh battery pack is enough, but it will definitely not work if this battery pack is placed on a truck. I personally estimate that at least a [-]-[-] kWh battery pack should be equipped. In this way, higher requirements are placed on the heat dissipation of the battery pack and the consistency of the battery cells..."

"understood."

Cai Xiangdong nodded slowly.

Hearing what Zhang Qihang said, he understood: It is precisely because of so many uncertainties that Zhang Qihang's price has such a large deviation, but it is understandable, after all, is it just an idea now? .

He thought for a while, and then asked Zhang Qihang: "Now the CNG engine is also very popular, and it can indeed greatly reduce the fuel consumption of users. At the same time, it also has a very obvious performance in terms of environmental protection and emissions. The most important thing is that it can easily It is realized on the basis of the existing power system, and the difficulty of modification is extremely low, what do you think of this situation?"

"In the short term... Well, in the next 10 years, CNG has a lot of room for development," Zhang Qihang said without hesitation: "After all, as you said, the difficulty of technology realization is low, and the contribution to environmental protection is great. , the most important thing is that it can indeed greatly reduce the user's fuel cost, especially in the field of urban public transportation and point-to-point logistics and passenger transportation. I think CNG fuel engines will usher in a huge wave of development."

As soon as Cai Xiangdong heard Zhang Qihang's words, he understood that this guy had really thought about this issue carefully, and Zhang Qihang's last sentence made Cai Xiangdong's eyes shine, and felt that Zhang Qihang's words could not be more correct: urban bus lines are all It is fixed, and the same is true for those intra-provincial transportation routes and passenger routes. With the advantages of low cost and environmental protection, CNG can really show its strengths in this regard.

Zhang Qihang continued: "However, CNG fuel engines are the present, and hybrid power is the future. Our Sinotruk Group is going to make CNG fuel engines, especially for urban buses and provincial road passenger transport. I think the market for CNG fuel engines The proportion will become larger and larger...the fuel cost advantage is too great, but at the same time, the hybrid system must not be ignored."

Cai Xiangdong thought about it carefully, and finally nodded: "What you said is very reasonable, whether it is CNG or AMT automatic transmission, hybrid system, our Sinotruk Group cannot be left behind..."

Speaking of this, he looked up at Deputy Chief Engineer Liu and the others who were arguing fiercely, and said, "Lao Liu, Lao Sun, have you come to a conclusion of your quarrel?"

"This..." Deputy Chief Engineer Liu said hesitantly and awkwardly: "I thought about it carefully, and I think I'm not forward-looking enough. We need to develop an AMT automatic transmission."

It's not that Deputy Chief Engineer Liu really felt the need to engage in AMT gearboxes. In fact, after Vice President Sun moved out the two projects of "National Eleventh Five-Year Development Plan" and "National 863 Plan", Deputy Chief Engineer Liu Nothing to say: You said that the development of heavy-duty AMT automatic transmissions for commercial vehicles is not important?If it is not important, then why did the country mention this project as "the country attaches great importance to it"?

"Well, it's good that you can realize this," Cai Xiangdong nodded slowly, and didn't bother to care whether Deputy Chief Engineer Liu really realized that his thinking was wrong or had to bow his head due to the situation, and said slowly: "What do other comrades think? Also talk about your own thoughts."

It has risen to the height of the National Eleventh Five-Year Development Plan and 863, who can have a "different" idea?Who dares to think differently?Everyone shook their heads, expressing their firm support for the decision of the group leader...

"Europe and the United States have widely popularized and used automatic transmission in the field of commercial vehicles. I think Mr. Zhang is right. With the rapid development of our domestic economy, users also have demand for automatic transmission trucks. Our heavy truck group should also Make efforts in the field of automatic transmission."

"Yes, yes, this is correct. Users have higher and higher requirements for the comfort of vehicles. In the early years of the Great Liberation, there was no air conditioner or a small sleeper. Now, there is an air conditioner. With the sleeper berth, you can even choose to install the parking air conditioning system. In the future, car owners hope that the vehicle will be equipped with automatic transmission to reduce fatigue. I think it is completely understandable..."

………………

Everyone expressed their support for the Group to increase investment in the field of heavy-duty AMT automatic transmissions for commercial vehicles.

Seeing that everyone was nodding to indicate where they are, Cai Xiangdong nodded slightly, and then said: "I discussed with Mr. Zhang just now, and we think that our Sinotruk Group should not only vigorously develop automatic transmissions, but also vigorously develop CNG fuel engines. In addition , but also to develop hybrid special engines and transmission systems..."

Speaking of this, Cai Xiangdong glanced at Lao Tan and said, "Old Tan, don't rush to leave later."

Comrade Tan nodded and said, "Okay."

Although Cai Xiangdong didn't say what's the matter, he already understood in his heart: as the person in charge of the engine project of Sinotruk Group, since the group wants to develop LNG fuel, CNG fuel and hybrid special engines, of course, he must communicate with himself this matter.

....................................

At the end of the meeting, only Zhang Qihang, Cai Xiangdong, and Lao Tan held the "small meeting" in Zhang Qihang's office. After the three were seated, Cai Xiangdong spoke to Lao Tan first: "Old Tan, the group is ready Raise the level of your Weichai, you are responsible for your own profits and losses, and the group only exists as a holding group."

"what……"

Hearing Cai Xiangdong's words, Lao Tan couldn't help being stunned, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Zhang Qihang, who had a better relationship with him.

Zhang Qihang nodded with a smile, and gave Lao Tan a positive look: "I have communicated with Cai Dong for a long time on this matter, and Cai Dong and I agree that giving Weichai more autonomy will help Weichai development and growth.”

Different from history, in the original historical time and space, because of the poor financial situation of the parent company Sinotruk Group, Weichai, as a subsidiary, even has to shoulder the responsibility of "supporting" the parent company. That's all, but Weichai had a very difficult time in those years, which led to the situation that Weichai, as a subsidiary, had to "sell blood to foster mothers".

Of course, Weichai is not happy about this situation: Why, aren’t the old people supporting the small ones, why are they now the small ones?It’s fine if our life is easy, but the problem is that our life is not easy either.

The result was that the two sides had a very stalemate for a while, and the leaders coordinated many times without any results. Finally, in 2006, the (provincial) State-owned Assets Management Office issued a document to dissolve the affiliation between Weichai and Sinotruk Group—— In fact, no matter how much the leaders persuaded, the two sides couldn't make it through, and had to break up.

But this time and space, the situation has changed: after Zhang Qihang concurrently served as the general manager of Sinotruk Group, the group's operating conditions improved rapidly, and there was no need to suck blood from Weichai to support itself. Weichai's engine purchase orders have increased year by year, resulting in a relationship between the two parties in terms of interests not only not dirty, but increasingly close.

However, considering that in order to adapt to the development of the new era, since last year, Zhang Qihang has discussed with Cai Xiangdong the idea of ​​launching Weichai - the child will be separated when the child grows up.

However, this separation is not the same as the separation of ordinary people, but to give Weichai more autonomy.

But of course, while Weichai has more autonomy, it naturally also has to shoulder greater responsibilities.

"This... this..."

Hearing Zhang Qihang's words, Lao Tan didn't know what to say for a while, but even so, he was more happy: If Weichai is upgraded to a subsidiary that operates independently and is responsible for its own profits and losses, then in the future, Sinotruk He will only give corresponding guidance on the development strategy of the group, and at the same time do corresponding supervision. The daily operation of the company is basically decided by the current leadership group with himself as the core. At that time, he will no longer be a Old Tan is of course very happy that he is no longer the director of a simple branch factory, but a "vassal prince".

But while he was happy, he naturally knew that the burden on his shoulders was heavier. Thinking that the tens of thousands of mouths in the factory would have to rely on himself to eat, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
