Chapter 1364 The Really Anxious Person

Looking at her own photos on major websites and the comments such as "Sister is so awesome!" and "Sister is so beautiful and talented, I love her", Tian Tian is very happy but also a little embarrassed: In her nearly 30 years of life, when has she ever experienced such undisguised praise?

  Who doesn't like to be praised?

For a moment, Tian Tian was in an extremely good mood.

  Tian Tian was in a very good mood, but some people were not so happy. For example, yesterday, the "competitor" of Naga, who was repeatedly compared with them, was very annoyed when they received calls from time to time asking for interviews: You ask me what I think? What do you think I think?

I sit and watch!

I'll lie down and watch!

I watched it upside down!

Is it possible?!

But apart from this friendly competitor, there is another car company that is not only unhappy, but also a little panicked!

Donggang District, the capital of Japan, is the headquarters of Hongda Group.

Fukui Taro took a deep breath and looked at the people in front of him: "Everyone, have you watched the launch of Huateng Automobile's 'Qilin' engine? I wonder what you think about this? And...what do you think about the future of our IMA system?"

On the big screen behind Taro Fukui is the Qilin engine of Huateng Group, which is known as the "world's first in thermal efficiency."

No one spoke in response to their president's question.

  In other words, everyone already has the answer in their hearts, but the previous route was set by Hongda’s spiritual totem, so how can we oppose it?

No one spoke, and then Fukui Taro spoke: "Yesterday, the president and I watched the new product launch of Huateng Group through the Internet. The president was shocked by what Huateng Group showed. He told me at the time that the student who needed our help to produce a good engine back then has been able to achieve this level in such a short time. It is really amazing.

The chairman also told me that the decision we made to develop the IMA system 10 years ago was a good one. Over the past 10 years, the global sales of cars equipped with the IMA system have exceeded 60. This is an excellent result, proving that our IMA system has been recognized by consumers around the world. "

  No one spoke, everyone was stunned: Is this what the respected president said?

No one is a fool. Since the president said that the IMA system was fine and suitable 10 years ago, then the other way around is that this system must be no longer suitable now.

Seeing the shocked expressions in everyone's eyes, Dalang Fukui couldn't help but pursed his lips.

In fact, during yesterday's live broadcast, the old president took the initiative to say that he made a mistake when he chose the hybrid technology route. Fortunately, there is still time. He made a request to Taro Fukui, asking everyone to consider carefully what Hongda's hybrid route should be.

By the way, Toyota has its own THS hybrid system, and HTC also has its own IMA hybrid system. In fact, the time when HTC decided to develop the IMA hybrid system was almost the same as the time when Toyota decided to develop the THS hybrid system.

  It’s just that Hongda’s IMA hybrid system is much simpler than the THS hybrid system of the Otter. Simply put, on the engine side, the engine of Hongda’s IMA hybrid system is not a dedicated Atkinson cycle engine, but an ordinary engine;

In the field of electric motors, the Otter THS system is a dual-motor system, one mainly responsible for power generation and the other mainly responsible for driving, and the traditional gearbox is eliminated. The Hongda IMA system installs an ultra-thin motor between the engine and the traditional gearbox. In the early days, the power of this motor was only 10 kilowatts, and it could only play a role in assisting and starting and stopping, with limited fuel-saving effects. Later, Hongda increased the power of this ultra-thin motor to 15 kilowatts, and it was finally possible to drive purely on electricity at low speeds.

The advantages of a single-motor hybrid system are obvious. While it has a certain fuel-saving effect, it has a lower cost and a smoother driving experience. However, the disadvantages are also obvious. With only one motor, it is responsible for driving, starting the engine, generating electricity, and recovering kinetic energy. It does the work of four people, and it is normal to lose sight of one thing while focusing on another. Therefore, in terms of fuel-saving effect, it is far from comparable to the THS system of the Otter, and is even inferior to the first-generation hybrid solution of the Huateng Group. The first-generation hybrid solution of the Huateng Group has two motors after all, one for generating electricity and recovering kinetic energy, and the other for driving.

Because the fuel-saving effect is not very obvious, Honda's IMA hybrid models are not selling very well worldwide. Just now, Taro Fukui said that Honda's IMA models have sold a total of 60 units worldwide, which seems to be very successful, but compared with the Otter, it is not enough - the Otter has sold a total of 450 million units equipped with the THS hybrid system worldwide!

Shaking his head, Fukui Taro continued, "The chairman also said that our two competitors in the hybrid field have both chosen the Atkinson cycle engine and dual-motor solution. He instructed us to seriously discuss the advantages and disadvantages of our IMA solution, the THS solution of the Otter, and the i-MMD solution of the Huateng Group..."

At this point, Fukui Taro glanced at Hachigo Hirotaka, nodded and said, "Hachigo-kun, let's start with you."

Hachigo Hirotaka was trained by the old chairman as the next generation successor. He is now in charge of Hongda's technology research and development and is the general technical person in charge of Hongda. In addition, since Hongda's spiritual totem has already given instructions, Hachigo Hirotaka was not polite when he heard it. He nodded to everyone first, and then said: "I believe everyone knows the advantages of the IMA solution, which is low cost. We can let users experience the charm of hybrid power at a lower cost. In the past few years, our sales of 60 IMA models are the best proof.

In addition, I also analyzed the plans of Touyou Otter and Huateng Group, and finally came to the conclusion that our Hongda IMA plan is 'oil-based, electricity-assisted', while Touyou Otter and Huateng Group's plans are 'electricity-based, oil-assisted'. "

As soon as Hachigo Hirotaka said this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

  Why were everyone so hesitant and afraid to speak before? Wasn't it because speaking out would involve the risk of criticizing the president?

This situation is absolutely unacceptable in Honda Motor Co., Ltd., as the president is the spiritual totem of the company! But with what Hachigo Hirotaka said, there is no problem: the IMA technology route previously formulated by the president is correct and absolutely no problem, but our opponents have opened up a new hybrid technology route, and they seem to be taking the right path, so the question we are going to discuss next is which of the two correct routes should we take.

Fukui Taro also breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Hachigo Hirotaka with approval, and nodded his head in appreciation: "So, Hachigo-kun, which of these two routes do you think is better?"

Hachigo Honglong is also a sly guy. After hearing this, he pondered for a moment before saying, "In my opinion, both of these technical routes are feasible, just like when we go to work every morning, we can choose to drive, take a taxi, ride a motorcycle, or take the bus...

There is no doubt that these choices can all help us reach our destination, so there is nothing wrong with these choices, it just depends on how we choose.

If the company continues to stick to the idea of ​​'oil as the main and electricity as the auxiliary' in the future, then we only need to continue to improve the IMA plan, but if we want to go the route of 'electricity as the main and oil as the auxiliary', then the opponent's plan is worth our reference. "

In a word, both paths are right. They do not offend the old chairman, nor do they deny the success of Touyoula and Huateng Group. Which path you choose is not up to me to comment. You have the final say, and I'm listening.

"This..." Fukui Taro pondered for a moment and said, "Then, Mr. Hachigo, please comment on the i-MMD system of Huateng Group."

"Hai!"

There is no need to discuss his own chairman, Hachigo Hirotaka is not polite: "The biggest feature of Huateng Group's hybrid system is that everything is designed around hybrid. According to existing information, the purpose of Huateng Group's development of this 'Qilin' engine is to make it always work in the high-efficiency area to generate electricity, and the whole vehicle is driven by electric motors as much as possible. In this way, the fuel consumption of the whole vehicle can be reduced to a very low level.

If Huateng Group continues to explore this system, such as directly using an external power source to recharge the battery and simultaneously increase the battery capacity, then Huateng Group's hybrid products can use electricity for short-distance travel, greatly reducing daily usage costs, and there is no need to worry about insufficient power in the battery when traveling long distances.

I think this is the ultimate form of hybrid vehicles. If Japan can equip itself with such hybrid vehicles that can travel long distances, we can greatly reduce the import of crude oil. We only need to build more power stations, which will have great strategic value for our national security. "

As expected of the next generation successor who is valued and vigorously cultivated by the old chairman, Hirotaka Hachigo has a sharp vision. He saw at a glance that plug-in hybrid vehicles are the future of hybrid vehicles. At the same time, the emergence of this type of vehicle will also have huge strategic value for Japan's international energy security.

  As soon as he said this, everyone was in an uproar!

"is it possible?"

"How is that impossible? This is just adding a generator to a pure electric car. General Motors has already manufactured pure electric cars several years ago."

"You seem to be right."

"Hachigo-kun is really amazing."

"Will Hongda also develop hybrid vehicles with the ability to run on pure electricity for a long time in the future?"

"But if we do this, can we afford the cost of the battery..."

…………

Everyone was talking at once, and at this moment, it looked a bit like a discussion meeting.
