Rebirth 05 Be a car tycoon

Chapter 205 Power Innovation
On the first working day in 2009, Nanshan Auto held a ministerial meeting as usual.

Everyone originally thought that the first regular meeting of the new year would not discuss any particularly important matters.

In the end, I didn't expect Xiao Hui to say a big thing when he came up.

"Starting from the light of domestic products, our popular models have reached the time to consider product replacement.

In recent years, the country's policies have changed, and everyone can see clearly.

For future products, the company will promote the transformation of engines to turbochargers.

In addition to the 1.0 engine used in mini cars, all other models will use turbocharged engines in the future. "

Turbocharging itself is not a new technology.

Many car companies have been using it decades ago.

But in the past few decades, its development has not been very fast.

There are various problems here.

However, with China's promotion of small-displacement engines and low fuel consumption, engine turbocharging is a trend.

For example, if the same N5 model is used, if a normal engine is used, then at least a displacement of more than 2.0L is required to meet the power demand, and the fuel consumption under working conditions can also reach seven oils.

But if a turbocharged engine is used, then basically 1.5T can meet the requirements.

Many people may not feel the impact of this matter.

On the one hand, the fuel consumption of the 1.5T engine will be lower than that of the 2.0L.

On the other hand, the consumption tax for 1.5-displacement models is different from that of 2.0.

"Mr. Xiao, at present, the turbocharged engine technology of niche cars is mainly promoted on the market, and other companies still generally use naturally aspirated engines.

Our current engine technology level is ahead of other competitors. Can we consider changing it after a few years? "

Zheng Zhihua was the first to stand up and express his opinion.

As the head of the sales department, he is more worried that after changing the powertrain, consumers' recognition will decline.

Such risks are relatively large.

"Minister Zheng has some truth in what he said. Normally, if an engine needs to be replaced, it will take more than ten years of use.

If our products start to consider new powertrains now, they will generally be used for three to five years.

In terms of cost, this is actually not very cost-effective. "

Purchasing Minister Wang Fugui also stood up to support Zheng Zhihua.

Although many times the opinions of the sales department and the purchasing department are different.

But on the current matter, Wang Fugui and Zheng Zhihua's views are relatively consistent.

"The production aspect is not a big problem. Whether it is a turbocharged engine or a naturally aspirated engine, the assembly process is not particularly different."

Dai Hanbiao, the head of the production department, was there making mud.

It was not suitable for him to express too many opinions on this matter.

"Starting research and development of a new generation of powertrain from now on, I fully agree.

But which models will be used at that time, this can be discussed further. "

Naturally, Xiang Changle hoped that the research center could have more tasks.

Otherwise, the research center now occupies a lot of the company's resources, and if there is always no work to do, he, the dean, will be under great pressure.

"1.5T, 2.0T, 3.0T, these three turbocharged engines will be our main engines in the future, and this direction will not change.

As for the specific equipped models, it can be considered comprehensively in combination with policy changes and engine costs. "

Xiao Hui is not someone who does not listen to opinions at all.

It's just that he is very clear that turbocharging is the mainstream direction in the future.

Now it is definitely necessary to accumulate technology.

Otherwise, the niche cars that have been deployed in advance may be able to surpass them again in the future.

Nanshan Automobile is a private enterprise.

Xiao Hui's prestige is very high now, and the things he has decided, no matter whether everyone has opinions or not, must be implemented seriously.

……

"Hassan, I heard that Nanshan Automobile is also vigorously developing turbocharged engines. It seems that our strategy of turbocharged engines plus dual-clutch transmissions is on the right track."

Bordo's news is very well-informed.

After there was movement from Nanshan Automobile, he got the news very quickly.

"Whether it is in Europe or China, reducing the fuel consumption of cars is a major trend, and the government's policies will definitely become more and more stringent.

Especially in terms of emission regulations, China III, China IV, China V, and China VI, it is estimated that the applicable time interval between different levels will become shorter and shorter.

We must consider these factors in advance, and take advantage of our earlier entry into the Chinese market and a better understanding of China's policies than others, so that niche cars can take the lead. "

It has to be said that Hassan's decision is still very correct.

Xiaozhong Automobile has been cultivating in China for so many years, and has a relatively wide network of contacts.

For the advance news of some policies, they have the opportunity to obtain in advance.

"That's true, especially as China's automobile production and sales continue to increase, and the environmental pollution caused by automobile exhaust emissions is also receiving more and more attention. There will definitely be many relevant policies and regulations in this regard."

Bordeaux echoed from the side.

"Nanshan Automobile has now surpassed us to become the largest automobile company in China, and the headquarters is now paying more and more attention to the Chinese market.

In the next few years, we will launch more than ten new models one after another.

Even now under the influence of the subprime mortgage crisis, I have persuaded the group at the headquarters to continue the construction of the new factory.

At that time, we still have a chance to regain the number one position in the market. "

Hassan was a little reconciled.

Why did he lose his position as the leader in the niche car market?

This thing is hard to accept.

"Hassan, you said that Nanshan Automobile is now entering the international market. Should we stumbling them overseas and let them waste part of their energy overseas?"

Bordo thinks that if some methods are not applied, it is estimated that it will be very difficult for niche cars to surpass Nanshan Automobile.

"They haven't entered the European market now. Even if we want to use some means, we don't have many choices."

Obviously, Hassan didn't want to deal with Nanshan Automobile.

It's just that they didn't find any good solution, so they died down.

If he really found the lifeline of Nanshan Automobile, he would definitely be more active in engaging in Nanshan Automobile than anyone else.

"Although our market in Citigroup is not very big, we also have some cooperative partners. Do you want to make good use of these people?"

"You think the people of Citigroup are stupid, they won't just do things for us if there is no benefit.

Let's get things done in Huaxia first, and compete with others in a proper way. "
