Chapter 1383 This is all pure silver

After that, Deputy Director Kang paused and said with a smile: "Before this, no one has made an accurate classification of new energy vehicles. Among all the companies present here, Huateng Group has made in-depth research on new energy vehicles and hybrid vehicles. In this case, let's first listen to Comrade Zhang Qihang's classification of performance vehicles."

Everyone looked at Zhang Qihang curiously.

  To be honest, at this stage, there is no accurate and clear concept of new energy vehicles in China, and everyone's understanding of new energy vehicles is also confusing and vague: What kind of car can be considered a new energy vehicle? What are the commonalities between these different new energy vehicles on the market?

Now that everyone heard that Zhang Qihang was going to set standards for new energy vehicles, while looking disdainful and thinking, "What qualifications do you, Zhang Qihang, have to define new energy vehicles?", they were also pricking up their ears, wanting to hear what Zhang Qihang would say.

After all, what Deputy Director Kang said was right. Among so many people attending the meeting, only Zhang Qihang had the deepest understanding of new energy vehicles.

Zhang Qihang was not polite and nodded, "Okay, since everyone wants to listen, I will say a little more. This is just my personal opinion, so please forgive me if I am wrong.

In addition to cars equipped with start-stop function, I think mild hybrid vehicles should be models equipped with 48V hybrid system.

The biggest difference between models equipped with a 48V hybrid system and models equipped with a start-stop system is that, in theory, the 48V mild hybrid system can use a BSG motor located at the front end of the engine and connected to the engine by a belt to replace the starter motor and generator, so that this BSG motor can be used to start the engine and generate electricity. It can also give the vehicle extra power when the vehicle starts to assist the vehicle in starting, and even extend the vehicle's coasting time while having a certain kinetic energy recovery capability.

If manufacturers are willing to spend the money to equip vehicles with electric air-conditioning compressors, they can also ensure that cooling continues without starting the engine when the vehicle is temporarily parked, such as when waiting for a green light, further improving the fuel efficiency of this mild hybrid system.

These are capabilities that energy-saving vehicles equipped only with engine start-stop systems do not have.

But the biggest problem with the 48V hybrid system is that it is limited by voltage and the motor power cannot be very large, which means that the electric motor cannot drive the vehicle alone, so the fuel saving effect is limited. According to our internal tests at Huateng Group, it can generally save 10% to 12% of fuel. Even in the most ideal situation, the fuel saving effect is only about 15%. It is estimated that replacing the 48V electric compressor can achieve a fuel saving effect of 18% to 20%, but I think this is the upper limit of this system. "

Everyone nodded, thinking that what Zhang Qihang said made sense.

Deputy Director Kang also said at the right time: "That's right, Comrade Zhang Qihang, what do you think a moderate hybrid vehicle is like?"

"I think the moderate hybrid system should be a 'strong single motor' solution similar to the Hongda IMA hybrid system. This moderate hybrid system still has a traditional engine and gearbox, but there is a motor with stronger output power between the engine and the gearbox," Zhang Qihang explained. "I heard that some manufacturers are studying the strong single motor solution of installing the motor alone at the rear of the gearbox or even on the rear axle, but no matter where the motor is located, these solutions are based on a single motor with relatively strong power as the core.

Therefore, I call the hybrid system based on a strong single motor, similar to the Honda IMA, a moderate hybrid system. The typical characteristics of this type of system are that in addition to still having the capabilities and typical characteristics of a 48V hybrid system, because the system voltage is higher, the motor has the ability to propel the vehicle alone at lower speeds, and the fuel economy is even better, with a fuel economy rate of more than 20%, and even up to 30% under some conditions.

But the disadvantages of a single motor are also obvious. That is, because there is only one motor, it means that it has to "do multiple jobs". It is responsible for starting the engine, recovering kinetic energy, and driving the vehicle forward. As a result, it may lose sight of one thing while focusing on another under some working conditions. But there is nothing that can be done about it.

This also leads to the next hybrid mode: a strong hybrid system that uses two motors, also called a deep hybrid system.

I guess everyone has seen models equipped with this type of strong hybrid system, such as our Huateng Group's hybrid Excelle, hybrid Sylphy and the big brother's hybrid Prius.

Another notable feature of this type of hybrid system is that no matter whether it is the extended-range solution of Excelle, the high-speed direct-drive solution of Sylphy or the power-division solution of Prius, the fuel-saving performance can reach more than 40%, and 40% is just the starting point, and 50% is also easy.

As for pure electric vehicles, I think I don’t need to say more, everyone understands it.”

After Zhang Qihang finished speaking, there was silence in the conference room.

Before this, even the senior practitioners in the domestic automobile industry sitting in the conference room were vague about the classification of new energy vehicles. But now after listening to Zhang Qihang's words, everyone felt that their understanding suddenly became much clearer, and it seemed that this was indeed the classification. However, one of the CEOs suddenly spoke to Zhang Qihang and said, "Boss Zhang, we all know that your group has applied for a hybrid vehicle with external charging capability some time ago. In your opinion, which category should your hybrid vehicle with charging capability be classified into?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes immediately turned to Zhang Qihang.

Just as the CEO said, everyone knows about the hybrid car with external charging capability that Huateng Group had previously applied for. So everyone is also curious about how this type of car should be classified.

Zhang Qihang smiled and said, "I call this kind of hybrid car that can be recharged by an external power source a plug-in hybrid car. Some people may think that this car should be classified as a deep hybrid car, but I think it should be classified as a quasi-electric car."

"why?"

The boss who asked the question couldn't help but frown.

Zhang Qihang: "As you can see, our plug-in hybrid vehicle has a pure electric driving range of 50 kilometers, which means that consumers do not need to start the engine or consume fuel in daily use. They only need to think about charging the car every day, and use it as a pure electric car.

  In fact, the pure electric driving range of 50 kilometers is only due to battery cost, not technology. If necessary, we can make a plug-in hybrid vehicle with a pure electric driving range of 100 kilometers or even 150 kilometers. In this way, the car may only use the engine for less than one month in a year, but its daily convenience is much more convenient than that of a pure electric vehicle. In your opinion, if this plug-in hybrid vehicle is not called a quasi-electric vehicle, what should it be called?

I think that since the government is preparing to support and encourage the development of the new energy vehicle industry through subsidies, plug-in hybrid vehicles, which are convenient for daily use and highly fuel-efficient, should be the top priority for subsidies and even future promotion. After all, the cost of batteries is too high.”

"This……"

The boss who asked the question stopped talking. He had no answer.

In fact, it was not just this CEO, other CEOs at the meeting also felt that what Zhang Qihang said made sense. However, the CEOs who reacted immediately felt that Zhang Qihang was simply insidious: Well, your Huateng Industrial Group not only has what you call "dual-motor deep hybrid technology", but now you have an additional "quasi-electric".

Since you all have plug-in hybrid technology, I guess it won't be difficult for your Huateng Group to develop pure electric vehicles. Does that mean your Huateng Group is going to take the fattest piece of meat?

  After realizing this, the CEOs of friendly competitors who couldn’t even produce a 48V hybrid system immediately became indignant: Zhang Qihang, you are such a sinister guy!

On the contrary, Deputy Director Kang showed a satisfied smile on his face when he looked at everyone's reactions.

Are you still dissatisfied with Zhang Qihang and Huateng Industrial Group?

It's good to be dissatisfied. The more dissatisfied you are, the more we will help Huateng Industrial Group to get more subsidies, and even blatantly favor Huateng Industrial Group.

  Don't accuse us of being partial. What about the time when you were all so arrogant and didn't take us seriously? This is called the wheel of fortune!

While everyone was either angry or thinking, only the representative of Big Brother had a calm expression.

It's no wonder that Vice President Li, who was attending the meeting with Big Brother, had such a calm expression. Just before the group, Big Brother and Oil-Thief Otter finally completed all the negotiations for the introduction of the hybrid Corolla and formally signed a cooperation agreement. This means that their share of the subsidy will be included in any case. In that case, why should they be so anxious?

  Zhang Qihang watched the reactions of the CEOs and found them more interesting. According to the news that had been circulated before, the country was very determined to develop new energy vehicles. The subsidy for the "5 Cities, Energy-Saving and New Energy Vehicle Demonstration, Promotion and Application Project" was also very large. Hybrid passenger cars and light commercial vehicles could get a subsidy of up to yuan per vehicle.

The subsidies for pure electric vehicles are also considerable. It is said that the subsidy for a single vehicle will not be less than 5 yuan.

  The subsidies for urban buses and coaches are even greater. For buses with hybrid power systems, the subsidy ranges from 5 to 40 yuan per vehicle, and the subsidy for pure electric and fuel cell buses even exceeds 50 yuan!

This is all free money!
