WLB Auto, as a car seller, we understand that we can do a good job in our industry by mastering the hearts of consumers, and for most people, as the second biggest choice in their lives, "buying a car", I believe that recently, many people have been hurt in the head. After all, unlike 20 years ago, when there is only fuel car as an option, find the right brand, choose the right type, you can pick out a good car. Nowadays, there are several power modes, not to mention brands and types. Faced with such a problem, how should we choose? Should we embrace the "tram" and bet on the future trend? Or shake hands with "hybrid" to grasp the current market? Consulted some insiders, they said the signal has been very clear, grasp the current 3 changes, we know how to choose. The first consideration is to observe the strategic layout of car companies. The one who understands consumers best is actually not necessarily the consumers themselves, but the developers of the products. This is reflected in Xiaomi car's xiaomi su7 car. In Europe, many people can experience this when they swipe through Tiktok videos: even though they haven't searched yet, the platform can already accurately recommend the content or products that we want. The same logic applies to the automotive market. By gaining insights into the layout of car companies, we can foresee the future direction - these companies, after all, don't invest in technologies that don't have a future. What is the current situation in the international market? We can observe the following trends: On the one hand, companies such as BYD Car, in which High End Custom Auto, clearly favours the development of pure electric vehicles. This is evidenced by BYD's "Yangwang" and "Tengshi" series, both of which are predominantly pure electric. On the other hand, Li Auto Stock, which start

The new car is divided into LIDAR version and no LIDAR version models according to different configurations; the body size is 4977/1999/1545 ( 1533 ) mm. According to media reports, the new Zeekr 001 is expected to adopt the 800V high-pressure platform technology, and will still have rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions.

In May 2023, Weichai Power and BYD signed a strategic cooperation agreement, the two sides intend to take advantage of their respective advantages in the field of new energy to establish a more comprehensive strategic partnership. Five months later, Weichai Fudi Battery Co., Ltd. was established, and the new company's business scope includes battery manufacturing, battery sales, technical services, technical development, technical consulting, technical exchanges, technology transfer, technology promotion, as well as new energy vehicle waste power battery recycling and laddering utilisation. In September 2023, the intelligent battery manufacturing base project jointly invested by FAW Jiefang and Vision Power was officially signed.

In November 2023, Great Wall Commercial Vehicle If Technology Co., Ltd, Great Wall Heavy Industry and Guangxi Yuchai signed a strategic cooperation agreement, the three parties will rely on their respective strengths to carry out comprehensive cooperation in the power system of new energy commercial vehicles and heavy industry products, vehicle development and application, and jointly promote the development of new energy industry. According to the agreement, if science and technology, the Great Wall Heavy

In the year 2023, Chinese auto brands had a lot of bright moments, such as surpassing joint venture brands in market share for the first time in a year, continuing to make strength in overseas markets, and constantly attacking the high-end market. At the same time, Chinese brands also had a difficult time: price wars were physically and mentally exhausting, "wars of words" occurred repeatedly, lagging car companies are facing elimination difficulties, and the pressure on the frontrunners is also getting bigger and bigger. With the arrival of the new year, in 2024, when the economy is gradually picking up and consumer confidence is recovering, Chinese brands will usher in new achievements and harvests. In 2024, the market share of Chinese brands is expected to go even further. From the global economic development trend in 2024, the warming has almost become a consensus, the overall situation of international trade will improve. China as the world's second largest economy, the economic development trend is bound to be consistent with this. China Association of Automobile Manufacturers predicts that in 2024 China's auto production and sales are expected to exceed 31 million units. What's more, new energy vehicles, a strong area for Chinese branded vehicles, will also maintain its growth momentum, and the penetration rate will further increase. Under the superposition of these two factors, it is not difficult for Chinese brands to reach another record high market share. In 2024, the technical strength and brand reputation of Chinese brands will be further enhanced. Historical experien

New Energy Vehicles: "Running Wild" and Quality Rising This year, the new energy automobile industry is really all the way "wild ride", highlights. In the recently held 2024 China Automotive Market Development Forecast Summit, China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (hereinafter referred to as "CAAM") Executive Vice President and Secretary General Fu Bingfeng pointed out that in 2023 China's automotive market showed three major highlights, one of which is the continuation of new energy vehicles rapid growth momentum, significantly better than the beginning of the year forecast! . According to the latest data released by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM), from January to November this year, China's new energy vehicle production and sales were completed 8,426,000 and 8,304,000 respectively, an increase of 34.5 per cent and 36.7 per cent year-on-year, with a market share of 30.8 per cent. The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) expects the annual sales of new energy vehicles to reach 9.4 million units. "China's auto industry already has the ability to quickly meet the extreme needs of consumers, and overseas consumers also need this extreme demand. China's cars are getting better and better. The "volume" of achievements is always the most intuitive. 3 July, with a brand-new new energy vehicles from the Guangzhou Automobile Egan vehicle offline area slowly drive out, China's new energy vehicle production volume officially reached 20 million units. Behind this, is the development of China's new energy vehicles for more than 10 years of continuous breakthroughs and rapid growth, from 1995 China's first new energy vehicles off the line, to February 2022 10 million new energy vehicles off the line, after 17 years; and from 10 million to 20 milli

Due to testing violations and other issues, on 26 December, Toyota's subsidiary Daihatsu Industries announced that its headquarters plant in Ikeda City, Osaka Prefecture, stopped operating. As a result, all four of the company's vehicle plants in Japan have ceased production. The shutdown is expected to last until at least the end of January 2024. In the meantime, Daihatsu has suspended shipments of all models and is currently under investigation by Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. Violations lasted 34 years Daihatsu, which was founded in 1907 and is known for its popular micro-small cars in Japan and Southeast Asia, is understood to have been acquired by Toyota for 51.2 per cent of its shares in 1998 and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Toyota in 2016. In April this year, Daihatsu received an internal report of crash test violations, and a preliminary investigation was conducted after which it was confirmed that the report was true, and that four of its models developed for overseas markets had violated the regulations in side impact tests. As a result, Daihatsu set up a new independent third-party committee to conduct further investigations based on the internal investigations, and in May, two more models were found to be in violation of the crash test. Later, as the investigation progressed, more violations were revealed. On 20 December, Daihatsu announced on its website that it would suspend shipments of all models, including those already in production, after the third-party committee found 174 irregularities in the company's review and monitoring, including falsification of safety crash test data. The number of models confirmed to be involved in the irregularities has incr

More than 3 million people stayed on the air just to see a new energy heavy truck running non-stop for 7 days? In the new energy buses and light trucks have already picked up the heavy responsibility, new energy heavy trucks are still carrying out feasibility analyses, how far they can run, how much they can carry, how much they can earn, how long they can use them, and in the final analysis, whether they can be operated as long-lastingly and reliably as oil trucks? When the proposition is too large, Yutong chose to start from the specific, recently concluded the country's first new energy heavy-duty truck 7 × 24 hours live operation live, is Yutong to solve the entrance. The real thing has the most power The challenge is located in the high temperature, high humidity of Haikou, the highest average temperature of about 28 ℃ and an average annual rainfall of more than 1,600 mm, to the stability of the vehicle, the three electric corrosion resistance to create a natural testing environment. Equally true is that the test vehicle is not a carefully selected "special car" from the production line, but the user provides, is operating the unmodified car; 7 days of people rest car does not rest in the operation, from loading and unloading to the power change, from the high-speed road to the gravel yard, the real operation will be encountered, the test are covered; 7 × 24 all-weather, uninterrupted live broadcast, the test will be carried out. Yutong new energy heavy truck w

I would recommend new energy vehicles as the family car of choice-LI L8 If you only have one car in your family, and this car takes you to commute, long distance, travelling and so on, I suggest you choose a long pure electric range hybrid, such as than the extended range. Because the pure electric range to meet at least 100 kilometres above the mileage, this is the vast majority of family users daily 1, 2 days of car mileage, so that you can usually daily commute to save some money, but also no mileage anxiety. If your family has a fixed parking space and can be installed home charger, extended range, hybrid is more suitable, 3 or 4 days to charge once, quite good, long distance fuel is also quite good. If you need two cars at home, it is recommended to keep one car without range anxiety, such as conventional fuel cars, Japanese hybrids, super hybrids or extended range, and the other can choose pure electric models. If you are not a mechanically inclined person, excluding the factor of saving money on fuel, I personally feel that the driving experience of a pure electric car is really much better than that of a fuel car, full of power and step on it, and the NVH (quietness and comfort) is very good, so it is really too comfortable. I drive the ideal extended range, although not pure tram, but have a pure tram driving e

With more car companies implementing "fuel and electricity at the same price", "fuel mixed with the same price", giving consumers a greater choice of space. Nowadays, consumers not only look at the price of the car, but also consider a number of years later when the disposal of the old car, the car can be sold on the price, less loss. Since last year, there has been a significant increase in the number of newly launched hybrid models. From the consumer side, the market acceptance of hybrid models is also increasing day by day, for example, BYD, Ideal, Tengshi, ask the world and other brands of plug-in hybrid, add-on models sales rise momentum is outstanding. Even Xiaomi, which has attracted much attention in the industry, has chosen to bet on the extended-range track for its first product. At the same time, due to the rapid growth in sales of hybrid models, the proportion of pure electric passenger cars has declined this year. So, in addition to the brand premium factor, in fact, fuel cars, pure electric cars and hybrid models, whose value retention rate is more bearable? New car main "fuel and electricity at the same price" In 2021, BYD Qin PLUS DM-i was listed on the market, focusing on the strategy of "fuel and electricity at the same price", Qin PLUS DM-i was priced at 115,800 RMB, which was already quite competitive in the market at that time. The real climax of the "same price for oil and electricity" is Tesla's sudden official price cut in January this year. Only three days after the price cut, Tesla harvested 30,000 new car orders. At first, the industry thought that Tesla's price cut was snatching away potential customers of other pure electri

Geely Xing Yue L Intelligent Engine the only one in its class to be equipped with the NOA Intelligent Pilot Hardware System as standard on all new cars New one!

Recently, 300 units of Geely Star Alcohol-Hydrogen Electric City Bus C8M were delivered to Tianjin Binhai New Area Public Transportation Group Co., Ltd (100 units) and Daqing Jiaotou Bus Co., Ltd (150 units) and Daqing Yucheng Public Transportation Co., Ltd (50 units), which successfully demonstrated the leading position of the Remote New Energy Commercial Vehicle Group in the application of methanol energy. 01 Methanol Commercial Vehicle is the road to carbon neutrality Methanol is an ideal fuel for automobiles. Under China's "coal-rich, gas-poor and oil-poor" energy structure, the development of the methanol economy and the promotion of methanol vehicles and methanol fuel applications have become important issues. China is the world's largest producer and user of methanol. In 2022, China's methanol capacity will be 100.41 million tonnes; methanol production will be 80.22 million tonnes; and imports will be 12.192 million tonnes. The capacity, production, sales and imports rank first in the world. Tsinghua University China Institute of Economic Thought and Practice President Li Daokui also believes that the methanol technology route is practical and feasible, green methanol autonomous and controllable, green methanol promising. It is worth mentioning that China's methanol vehicles, has a sound policy licensing of the whole system channel; industry to complete the construction of the technology chain, industrial chain and supply chain; in the application of methanol fuel cor

In the era of fuel vehicles, the development cycle of a new car is 5~7 years on average. And the era of new energy vehicles, new brands and new models of new crazy volume, this cycle is constantly being shortened to the current 9 ~ 12 months. R & D cycle limit compression, the safety of automotive features have been fully verified? Raise consumer questions. With price wars and wars of words raging, in the increasingly frenetic automotive market, which brand can still calmly verify the safety of their vehicles? The ID.7 VIZZION, which is about to go on sale, has not only been fully verified, but has even achieved "redundancy". Far beyond the national standard, safer than safe battery Battery safety is the most critical safety for new energy vehicles.Currently, new energy vehicles on the market advertise that their batteries have gone through a number of validations and provide top-level safety protection, but the repeated occurrence of battery fires in the press shows that there is still a long way to go in terms of battery safety.FAW-Volkswagen has taken the lead in disclosing the Changchun laboratory of its new technology research and development centre, which shows its confidence in creating the ID.7 VIZZION's "redundant safety".FAW-Volkswagen pays special attention to the battery safety issue that consumers are very concerned about. Referring to Volkswagen's high-grade safety standards in Germany, FAW-Volkswagen conducts safety tests on batteries that far exceed the national standard, such as 197 tests on overcharging prevention, short circuit, etc. While the national standard only has 18 tests, FAW-Volkswagen's tests far exceed the national standard by 179 tests, and it also conducts a total of 436 full-s

On 14th November, BYD Japan officially announced the launch of the J7, a mid-sized electric bus for the Japanese market, which will be available for booking from 1st January 2024, with delivery scheduled for autumn 2025, and is expected to be completed by the end of the year. Exterior of the new electric bus J7 The new medium-sized electric bus J7, with a capacity of 61 passengers, is powered by BYD's independently developed lithium iron phosphate blade battery, which has a range of up to 250km on a single charge and ensures a high level of safety while expanding the available space inside the vehicle through a fully flat floor and achieving a high driving range. Reducing congestion and accidents with a fully flat floor design Japan is currently in a critical period of public transport electrification transition, and there is a large demand for a wide range of models and efficient charging methods. 2015, BYD Japan introduced five K9 electric buses in Kyoto, achieving a breakthrough for a Chinese company in Japan, a strong traditional automotive country. After that, BYD has been actively cultivating the Japanese market and expanding its model matrix, providing the J6, a small electric bus that is most suitable for community buses, and the K8, a 10.5m large electric bus that is most suitable for Japan's specialised buses, covering a full range of large, medium and small-sized models. BYD is also constantly upgrading its product technology to quickly adapt to Japan's fa

Recently, the last internal combustion engine produced by BMW at its Munich plant in Germany officially rolled off the production line, a V8 engine. The plant will be upgraded and transformed into an electric vehicle production site in the future. "It is fitting that BMW is dedicating the Munich plant to the production of electric vehicles.For more than 100 years, Munich has been BMW's headquarters and main plant, and the brand's most important and visible plant. This should drive the company into the future." Foreign media outlet The Drive commented. Does this mean the end of BMW's internal combustion engine era? That's not so. In fact, the news isn't too surprising for the workers at the Munich plant. As early as 2020, BMW announced that it would transfer the internal combustion engine production work at the Munich plant to plants in Austria and the UK, which was transformed into an electric car plant, and BMW invested 400 million euros in this endeavour. Not long ago, Ika Horstmeyer, the BMW Group board member in charge of human resources, told the foreign press that the 1,200 skilled workers at the Munich plant who work on internal combustion engines have been retrained for their new roles within the company. As planned, the BMW Steyr plant in Austria will continue to produce V8 engines codenamed N63 and S63. A number of models, including non-BMW cars, use these two engines. In addition, the Hamhall plant in the UK is currently the sole production site for BMW's new S68 high-performance V8 engine and all N74 V12 engines. And now, along with t

On 26th October, Stellantis Group and Leapmotor officially announced their partnership, in which Stellantis will invest about 1.5 billion euros to acquire a 20% stake in Leapmotor, becoming the latter's majority shareholder and gaining two seats on Leapmotor's board of directors. At the same time, Stellantis and Leapmotor will set up a 51:49 joint venture called Leapmotor International. The joint venture will have the exclusive right to export and sell to all markets in the world except Greater China, as well as the exclusive right to manufacture Leapmotor products locally. The CEO of the joint venture will be appointed by Stellantis Group. 01 Each Takes What It Needs and Lays Out Overseas First of all, it should be noted that Stellantis and Zeropeng have similarities with Volkswagen and Xiaopeng in that they both use capital injection to acquire technology, but the target markets are different.While Volkswagen Group has joined hands with Xiaopeng to go further in China, its number one single global market, Stellantis' current situation in China is clear for all to see, and so it has focused its partnership on international markets outside of China, emphasising that "the Stellantis Group will continue to work on the implementation of its asset-light business model in China for its brands in China." From the co-operation agreement, we can see that the two sides have their own needs: Stellantis needs to make use of Zero Run Auto's electrification and intelligent technology to achieve its product transformation and layout on a global scale. Zero Run Auto, on the other hand, can rely on Stellantis' mature business layout in overseas markets t

Behind Schaeffler's acquisition of Vipertech On 9 October, a shocking news to the industry came out, Germany's famous automotive bearings, electric drive and internal combustion engine parts manufacturer Schaeffler Group announced that it intends to 3.64 billion euros (91 euros per share) cash offer, the acquisition of the former Continental Powertrain Division, also known as the electric drive and internal combustion engine products Vitesco Technology (Vitesco). On the same day, Vitesco confirmed the news. The Schaeffler family's buyout plan Why does the Schaeffler Group want to buy Vitesco? Will the acquisition go ahead smoothly? Behind these questions, the role of the Schaeffler family cannot be ignored. To put it simply, the Schaeffler family is the major shareholder of Schaeffler Group, Continental Group and Weipai Technology, holding about half of the shares of Weipai Technology. Specifically, the Schaeffler Group is a family-owned company from Germany that takes its name from the surname of its founder, Georg Schaeffler. Currently, the group is helmed by the founder's wife, Maria-Elisabeth Schaeffler-Tumann, as well as her son, Georg F.W. Schaeffler, who is now the chairman of the supervisory board of the Schaeffler Group. It can be said that the Schaeffler family has absolute control over the Schaeffler Group.

On 16th August, BYD's professional personalised vehicle brand, Equation Leopard, held the "Equation Leopard Brand and Technology Launch" at BYD's Pingshan headquarters in Shenzhen. In addition to the Equation Leopard brand and its three heavyweight models, the DMO (Dual Mode Off-Road) super hybrid off-road platform, which carries the brand's core proprietary technology, also attracted a great deal of attention from the industry. BYD Chairman and President Wang Chuanfu said, "The replacement of oil by electricity is only a small part of the transformation of the car; electricity, is rewriting the underlying logic of the whole dimension of the car." With the advent of the era of automobile personalisation, Equation Leopard will take the models equipped with DMO platform technology as a starting point to reshape the market rules of hardcore SUVs and sports cars, and realise "individuality affirmative action" with epoch-making new energy technology. Breaking the "Impossible" of Traditional Perception DMO adopts the new hybrid non-load-bearing structure, based on CTC battery chassis integration technology, with technical advantages in high-performance chassis, intelligent electric four-wheel drive and off-road special hybrid assembly, and is equipped with the intelligent hydraulic body control system of the Yun-van-P, which realises a breakthrough in traditional off-road in the aspects of safety, power, off-road performance and comfort, and energy consumption. Based on the new hybrid non-load-bearing architecture, DMO decouples the upper and lower bodies through flexible connections, with the lower body focusing on the high-performance chassis to create hardcore off-road performance, and the upper body foc

Car companies coincidentally enthusiastic about ultra-charging One of the direct reasons for the popularity of supercharging stations is the growing popularity of the 800V high-voltage platform technology in the field of electric vehicles. According to incomplete statistics, at present has been or will be determined in the near future to launch the 800V high-voltage platform of the automobile brand has more than 20, is known to car companies 800V high-voltage platform, including Mercedes-Benz EVA, BMW Neue Klasse platform, BYD e platform 3.0, Xiaopeng Fushang architecture, Geely SEA Hao Han platform and so on. Super fast charging and 800V have long been hailed as the "golden partners" for enhancing the performance and usage efficiency of electric vehicles. In particular, high-voltage fast charging and super charging, due to the characteristics of fast charging and high efficiency, are regarded as the "killer app" to resolve the use of electric vehicles anxiety, and even "replace" traditional fuel vehicles. In other words, more and more 800V cars, in the use of its matching super fast charging demand is also more and more exuberant, super charging will become a necessity. How active are car companies in the field of supercharging? We've combed through the recent information released by car companies on the construction of supercharging stations.

Hardcore off-road, this once niche market, has become this year's Chengdu Auto Show, "when the flower girl", from the Great Wall Haval, tanks, to the BYD look forward to the equation of the leopard, as well as the Dongfeng Mastodon, more and more of the layout of independent car companies off-road vehicles this market segment. Off-road vehicles have become the next wind mouth of the independent brand competition. However, the ups and downs of the off-road vehicle market is, after all, a niche market, there is really a need to become a must-contend place for car companies? Independent car companies and can break the monopoly of joint ventures, imported high-end brands in this market? 01 Off-road vehicles are piling up At this year's Chengdu Auto Show, the hardcore off-road vehicles became the brightest presence. On 25 August, the Haval Mastodon made its debut at the Chengdu Auto Show and lowered its price to 160,000 yuan, which, in the words of Great Wall Motor, "fills the blank of the new energy off-road vehicle market within the price range of 200,000 yuan". Thanks to the addition of 1.5T + Hi4 electric four-wheel drive + rear axle electronically controlled differential lock combination, the Haval Raptor presents a strong off-road performance, with good performance in terms of passability and playability. And the vehicle offers 7 driving modes, which can fully cover various off-road needs such as snow, sand and mud. Dongfeng MORA Mastodon was also officially launched at the Chengdu Auto Show, and offers two power forms, pure electric and extended range, with a starting price of 637,70

Heavy perception and light map is becoming the choice of more and more car companies. Xiaopeng announced that by the end of this year, it is expected that there will be 50 cities to achieve the landing of XNGP, smart self has also announced the IMAD intelligent driving technology planning, will soon open "go to high-precision maps NOA" public testing. However, there is also the opposite, in early August, Guangzhou Automobile Group invested 40 million yuan layout of high-precision maps. Why do enterprises have very different choices for perception and map? Perception and map will show what kind of development? Heavy perception is on the rise Heavy perception is on the rise, and NOA (Pilot Assisted Driving System) is highly favoured by car companies, and different system names have been derived from it, such as Peng's NGP, Azure's NOP, Huawei's NCA, Great Wall's NOH, and Ideal and Tesla's directly named NOA, but essentially it is basically the same, heavy on perception and light on maps. With more and more enterprises starting NOA public testing, this year is also known as the "NOA year". At present, there are enterprises including Xiaopeng, Huawei, millimetre wise, ideal and other enterprises have opened the city NOA test. Recently, the smart self announced IMAD intelligent driving technology planning, according to the plan, in September, the smart self will start to go to high-precision maps NOA public testing; in October to start the city NOA public testing; in 2024, the commuting mode of a hundred cities open; in 2025, the smart self IM AD into the era of Door to Door (the whole scene of the commute) for most of the scenarios.

Recently, the well-known U.S. electric bus manufacturer Proterra announced that it would seek bankruptcy protection from the Delaware federal court. As a result, the company's stock price fell more than 88%. Proterra is regarded as "electric bus field of Tesla", the U.S. government has provided tens of millions of U.S. dollars in assistance, behind the BMW, General Motors and other giants of the injection of capital, the market value of once close to $ 4 billion. But who had thought that the "collapse" came so fast, the application for bankruptcy, from the Prothera listed only two years ago, and this also gives the global bus companies sounded the alarm. 01 From the peak to the fall Prothera was founded in 2004, headquartered in Burlingame, California, the United States, its initial positioning is an electric vehicle parts supplier, was established four years later, the launch of the first electric bus EcoRide. In 2011, Prothera's first factory began operation, and the EcoRide went through a number of improvements and upgrades, expanding its product line from city buses to school buses, delivery trucks, and long-distance buses. However, sales of the series were dismal, with only 50 electric buses sold by 2013. In 2014, Prothera's operations began to improve with the addition of Tesla executives, and around 2015, Prothera launched a new product line, Catalyst, which is more premium, more technologically advanced, and more expensive than EcoRide.

On 25 August, two consecutive days of rainfall made Chengdu cool in early autumn, but the rain could not shake the enthusiasm of car companies and Chengdu auto dealers. The Golden Nine and Silver Ten, coupled with this year's major theme of promoting consumption, made this year's second A-class auto show in China, the current Chengdu International Automobile Exhibition (hereinafter referred to as the Chengdu Auto Show) attracted a lot of attention.

New energy is still the hottest As the largest auto show in the western market, the Chengdu Auto Show tends to take on more "car selling" tasks. Compared to the Beijing Auto Show, Shanghai Auto Show, and even the Guangzhou Auto Show, the Chengdu Auto Show didn't have too many heavyweight new cars in the past, but at this year's show site, we still found that many automakers launched their own relatively important products, especially the Chinese brands' new energy products. new energy products. Judging from the exhibitors, all car companies have taken new energy
