During the "meal" period of a restaurant, takeaways waiting for "departure" are filled with the desk Photographer/Intern, Huang Jiating

　　The scale of the Internet catering market has doubled, and the problem of disposable tableware pollution is also very serious. It is reported that Meituan and Ele.me, two major takeaway platforms in China, have launched "Qingshan Plan" and "Blue Planet Plan" environmental protection plans respectively. However, some people believe that in dealing with the problem of takeaway waste, the takeaway platform can play a limited role. In addition, catering companies, disposable tableware manufacturers, and consumers should share the corresponding responsibilities to improve the environmental protection problems caused by takeaway lunch boxes.

　　Big data shows that 3 out of every 10 Chinese people are takeout users, generating more than 20 million takeaways every day. In the next ten years, the socialization, intensification and industrialization of kitchens will see tremendous development, and the problem of disposable tableware pollution will also come.

　　survey

　　How much takeaway waste can be generated every day?

　　At around 11:30 noon, the deliveryman Xiao Liu hurried into a commercial building at Wudaokou. He didn’t have time to wait for the elevator, so he chose to climb the stairs to pick up the food at the gourmet food stall on the third floor. At this time, in the stairwell leading to the food stall, there were already many delivery guys running up and down like meteors, and the atmosphere was quite tense.

　　The peak delivery period is called "rice mouth" by the delivery brothers. In the delivery hotspot – a university campus, during the "rice mouth" period, the delivery frequency of a delivery brother can reach 4 to 5 times, and the order volume for one delivery is about 4 to 5 copies. In terms of takeaway restaurants, according to the observation of the Beijing Youth Daily reporter, taking the rice noodle takeaway as an example, the order volume during the "rice mouth" period is 16 to 25 copies. The standard package includes a pair of chopsticks, a plastic spoon, a plastic round bowl, a plastic round bowl lid, and a plastic bag. If the user’s order requires soy sauce, vinegar, or chili peppers, another 3 to 5 plastic bags will be generated. According to the statistics of standard orders, a "rice noodle takeaway" will generate 16 to 25 meals of lunch box waste.

　　In this food stall, there are a total of 14 merchants, each with an order volume of about 20 to 50 copies. Taking each standard lunch box as an example, the food stall produces 840 to 2,100 fast food lunch boxes in one "meal".

　　In contrast, the number of takeout orders from large chain restaurants is even more impressive. According to the owner of a restaurant chain specializing in northwestern flavors: "We have about 4.40 million takeout orders a year. According to the average order of four lunch boxes, we should use 17 million lunch boxes a year." The owner admitted that for restaurants, the most concerned is how to ensure that takeout is delivered to customers within 25 minutes to an hour, and that the color, aroma, taste and shape of the dish are basically unchanged when it comes out of the pot. "We have also tried paper lunch boxes," he said. "But Chinese food and beverage forms are particularly rich and complex, and the cartons with soup and water do not penetrate for more than a few minutes. It cannot be achieved in an hour."

　　Data from Xinhua News Agency: Our country has more than 20 million takeaways every day. But the amount of waste generated is also worrying. The used lunch boxes are stacked up enough to go three and a half times from the earth to the International Space Station, and the plastic bags can cover 168 football fields.

　　current situation

　　The rapid development of takeout brings garbage problems

　　According to the "China Plastic Products Industry Production and Marketing Demand and Investment Forecast Analysis Report", the cumulative output of plastic products in our country 30.47 million tons in January-May 2017, with a cumulative increase of 3.8%. The growth of plastic products is inseparable from the rise and development of emerging industries such as takeaway. At the "Takeaway Food Packaging Safety and Environmental Protection Seminar" held recently, Zhou Lili, a senior engineer in the comprehensive business department of the China Plastics Processing Industry Association, introduced that plastic products account for a large proportion of disposable tableware. China’s current total amount of disposable tableware plastics belongs to a large consumer group in the world. But in fact, if the per capita is calculated, we are not the largest consumer, but the United States should be the largest consumer.

　　Just how big the Chinese takeout market is can be seen by looking at the data released by the two major takeout platforms.

　　Meituan comments on big data show that the national takeaway industry has developed rapidly in 2016: in 2016, the overall transaction volume of the takeaway industry reached 130 billion, it is expected to break through 200 billion in 2017, and it will climb to 300 billion scale in 2018. From the user perspective, 3 out of every 10 Chinese people are takeaway users. Ele.me expects the takeaway market to break through 700 billion in 2020.

　　According to the analysis, the top reasons why Chinese users choose online takeaway are busy with work and no time to cook, unwilling to cook at home, preferential activities for takeaway, delicious meals for takeaway, bad weather, and lifestyle habits. Among them, the fast pace of work and time constraints are the main reasons for users to order takeaway. 42.7% of users choose takeaway to solve work meals, and 21.8% of users are unwilling to cook at home.

　　measure

　　The "no utensils required" option doesn’t work well

　　Takeaway food delivery companies are very concerned about the problem of tableware waste. Recently, Meituan Dianping and Ele.me have started to trial the "no tableware" service, which is to add the "no tableware" option on the APP order page, where the tableware refers to disposable chopsticks. It is understood that Meituan Takeaway launched the "Qingshan Plan" this year, establishing the post of chief environmental protection officer to encourage customer engagement in "bring your own tableware" activities and reduce the use of disposable tableware such as chopsticks and napkins. At the same time, for catering companies that promise to use "environmentally friendly lunch box packaging", light up the environmental protection logo and add screening items. Consumers can screen with one click and invite consumers and professional organizations to supervise catering companies that promise to use "environmentally friendly lunch box packaging".

　　This year, Ele.me launched the "Blue Planet" program, adding a "no tableware" note option on the order confirmation page of the new version of the APP, and providing points rewards for users who choose "no tableware". The Ele.me points mall will open an environmental protection area for users to use points to claim desert public welfare forests and redeem environmentally friendly shopping bags. At present, Ele.me has reached preliminary cooperation intentions with well-known environmental protection organizations such as the Alxa SEE Foundation.

　　But it is understood that the trial effect is not very satisfactory. Some merchants would rather spend time and effort on diners’ taste preferences for fear of making mistakes, such as less sugar, less oil, no cilantro, etc., but when it comes to the question of whether to put chopsticks, they are "rather trusting them than not trusting them". "What if the customer gives me a bad review? I have to send someone to deliver it again, and the labor cost has risen again."

　　Some analysts believe that in dealing with the problem of takeaway waste, the takeaway platform can play a limited role. Only catering companies that provide takeaway services, manufacturers of disposable tableware, and consumers can assume corresponding responsibilities, and all parties can work together to improve the current environmental protection problems caused by takeaway lunch boxes.

　　expert opinion

　　Waste tableware should be recycled

　　Zhou Lili, a senior engineer in the comprehensive business department of the China Plastics Processing Industry Association, pointed out that plastic products are a relatively contradictory product, which facilitates our lives, but also brings environmental protection problems. Zhou Lili suggested that the relevant departments formulate a rule on how to recycle these discarded catering utensils, how to regenerate them, and how to manage them well. "We also recommend centralized inspections in some key regions and setting up some recycling points. Of course, this cost should be based on the production enterprises, distributors, and the model of white polystyrene lunch boxes. This is a contribution to environmental protection. In addition, we still recommend using degradable materials as much as possible in the future when conditions are available."

　　Meng Suhe, chairperson of the Chinese Society of Food Science and Technology, said that in terms of the safety and environmental protection of takeaway lunch boxes, catering platforms should actively formulate entry thresholds, guide catering enterprises to choose qualified, safe and environmentally friendly lunch box products, and eliminate catering enterprises that do not pay attention to environmental protection and safety. For lunch box manufacturers, Meng Suhe believes that due to the characteristics of Chinese cooking and consumption, it is necessary to actively produce lunch box products suitable for Chinese takeaway use, and ensure their environmental protection attributes and product quality.

　　Shang Guiqin, director of the National Key Laboratory of Food Contact Materials (Changzhou), believes that food delivery companies can formulate industry standards for the fast food industry, unify the requirements of lunch box standards, select manufacturers and suppliers that can meet the standards, and make environmental protection choices from the perspective of social responsibility.

　　Financial Observation

　　Just by "advertising"

　　It is difficult to solve the problem in the short term

　　The pollution problem of fast food boxes has recently become a hot topic of public opinion. Experts say that the amount of plastic used in the United States far exceeds that of our country, but the public opinion in the United States is not hot about pollution. From a certain perspective, our citizens’ concern for environmental protection has made the fastest progress in the world.

　　It is commendable that the two food delivery companies have taken the lead in environmental protection measures and found ways to remind users to appropriately reduce the use of disposable dining products. These efforts have not only reduced the pollution of disposable tableware in our country, but also made the corporate culture and corporate image of two responsible large enterprises.

　　In the next ten years, the socialization, intensification, and industrialization of kitchens will see tremendous development, and the problem of disposable tableware pollution will also develop rapidly. There is no time to wait. If we only rely on the publicity of these enterprises, we will definitely not be able to solve such a huge social problem in the short term.

　　According to Ele.me, although the "no tableware" option is designed on the APP, and some people do check this option often, many merchants still provide tableware for each takeaway. The reason is that it is very troublesome to selectively remove some tableware from the order, and the second is that if there is a mistake, the customer’s request for supplementary tableware will increase the cost. Also, in case the customer reneges, he dares not not to send supplementary tableware. So this environmental protection measure worth boasting has become a decoration.

　　Therefore, to solve the problem of white waste, we must first rely on the consciousness of the people. How to quickly improve the awareness of the people’s environmental protection is the key to the problem. In fact, without the promotion of these companies, everyone who has the habit of ordering takeout frequently will definitely be able to express a lot of profound insights on environmental protection issues. But whether they are willing to do it by themselves, and whether they are willing to exchange their own little trouble for a greater improvement in the living environment of the whole country’s citizens is another question.

　　Our reporter, Zhao Xinpei, intern, Huang Jiating

　　　After a wave of Wang fried, "far ahead" has begun to appear "interlaced" (interlaced like mountains, no) phenomenon. Now, Huawei’s wave of "breaking the sky" has been used in the new M7 Dading gameplay: in early October, Huawei announced the new M7 worth 30,000 yuan Dading rights and interests, and soon made a commitment to the market to delay the delivery of subsidies of 200 yuan/day. On the basis of the order surge, the drainage of "welfare on the top is guaranteed" was formed again. The market continued to be hot, and the cumulative Dading has exceeded 70,000 units in the 45 days of listing! Triggered netizens to ridicule, Huawei just issued "benefits", regardless of their own pressure gameplay, giving the marketing market another lesson.

　　Rights and security "together" Huawei is playing heartbeat?

　　For a long time, the official listing of new cars will focus on "welfare" promotions, in order to win good market sales. Huawei has found a new way to stand on the "consumer side" and let the rights and protection of the new M7 go together!

　　In terms of "welfare", Huawei’s new M7 rights and interests: (Time: 10.8-10)

　　① Dading enjoys 5,000 yuan to deduct 8,000 yuan, and the balance is reduced or exempted;

　　② Give away 12,000 yuan worth of inner and outer decoration matching gold;

　　③ Enjoy a matching right worth 15,000 yuan (as described below);

　　Max Smart Driving Edition users can deduct the optional ADS2.0 urban pilot NCA function in equal amounts;

　　Plus rear drive version users can equally choose a technology comfort package worth 15,000 yuan;

　　Users of all models can also choose a combination of rights and interests worth 15,000 yuan (21-inch wheels worth 10,000 yuan and original rear-installed boutiques 3 choose 1)

　　Shortly after the release of the 30,000 yuan rights and interests, the care plan for consumers to "back the bottom" was immediately released: Wenjiexin M7 users who completed the big payment before November 30, 2023 (inclusive), the order status on the AITO App from the date of "the delivery plan has been confirmed" to the date of "the vehicle has arrived at the store", if the corresponding waiting period in the table below is exceeded, the cash subsidy for car pickup will be obtained according to the number of days (the date the vehicle has arrived at the store – the date the delivery plan has been confirmed – the waiting period). The overdue subsidy standard is 200 yuan/day, up to 10,000 yuan.

　　Two policies have come out one after another, allowing consumers to call "fun", creating a "Mate7 moment" in which the new M7 is set to break the 70,000 in 45 days. Even Yu Chengdong, executive director of Huawei, CEO of end point BG, and chairperson of smart car solutions BU, has to go to the factory to supervise production and quality control. He also personally made a commitment to the market: currently, the Sailis smart factory is working overtime, the entire supply chain has invested more than 1 billion new funds, increased more than 20,000 people, and the new production shifts are 22 hours a day, going all out to ensure delivery! Directly let consumers praise "this wave, stable"!

　　Not only is it smart and safe, but the space is also beyond your imagination

　　After 25 days on the market, 50,000 orders will be broken, 60,000 orders will be broken in a month, and 70,000 orders will be broken in 45 days. Naturally, this splash of orders cannot be achieved solely by "welfare" and "rights and interests". People are increasingly discovering that the new M7 backed by Huawei is not only full of sincerity, but also extraordinary in the fields of intelligence and security. Even regular items such as space and interiors are impressive.

　　The length, width and height of the five seats of the new M7 are 5020 × 1945 × 1760mm respectively. Huawei creatively uses the "room acquisition rate" to tell the market that the body size is not equal to the large space, and the effective interior space is the point that needs to be paid attention to. The five seats of the new M7 have the best effective interior space in the same class, and the "room acquisition rate" of 66.3% leads the same class. The length of the car is 3338mm, which is better than the excellent ideal L7 and BMW X5L in the same class. Each position is very spacious. The trunk depth is 1100mm, and the standard volume can reach 686L, which can easily accommodate 12 20-inch boarding boxes. After the second row of seats is reclined and connected to the trunk, the maximum depth is expanded to 2051mm, which can form a loading space of 1619L, easily accommodate 30 20-inch suitcases, and with the 52L storage compartment of the trunk, the ultimate space efficiency meets the loading needs of family cars. At the same time, the new M7 enjoys a more flexible six-seat layout, providing consumers with more car purchase options.

　　In terms of seats, the new M7 focuses on family travel scenarios and comprehensively optimizes the driving experience. The five seats are standard with new "marshmallow" seats, 10 layers of comfortable stacked design, and the total thickness of foam is 100mm; the standard four seats are equipped with ventilation, heating and massage functions, each seat is as comfortable as first class. Through Xiaoyi smart assistant, the double-row nap function of the main and co-pilot can be activated by voice. Enjoy six seats with new zero-gravity seats, allowing users to relieve fatigue while riding, as if they were in a space capsule, bringing ultimate comfort and relaxation experience.

　　Backed by Huawei, I thought that the product power of the new M7 in the world was far ahead, but after it went on the market, I found that the original Dading gameplay was also unparalleled. In fact, apart from the surface look of the kernel, these "unattainable" all stem from Huawei’s always standing at the starting point of the user, resulting in the popular fried chicken in the automotive circle and the new M7 in the world. At present, all rights and interests are in place, and the opportunity must not be missed. If you are interested in the new M7 in the world, speed up and rush!

Volvo pulled out of the pole star and its share price soared by 30%.

Volvo Car announced that it will no longer provide funds for Polar Star and plans to reduce its holdings. The reduced shares will be mainly taken over by Geely.

In the past, some analysts believed that Volvo held a large number of polar stars, which dragged down Volvo.

The market reaction confirmed this view, and Volvo’s share price soared just after the announcement.

Volvo pulled out and its share price soared.

Volvo Car (hereinafter referred to as Volvo) announced that it would stop blood transfusion to Polar Star and adjust its shares.

At present, Volvo is evaluating the distribution of shares in Polar Star to its shareholders, and Geely Sweden is the potential main recipient.

Some analysts believe that Geely will replace Volvo’s position as an important shareholder of Polar Star.

For Volvo’s reduction, Geely responded that it supports Volvo to concentrate resources on developing itself.

Geely also stated that it will continue to provide comprehensive business and financial support for Polar Star.

Geely also added that supporting Polar Star will not make Geely reduce its holdings of Volvo. This will be added, because only last month, Geely reduced its holdings of Volvo.

Volvo currently holds 48% of the shares of Polar Star. Some analysts once thought that holding such a high share was a burden for Volvo.

The market proved that this was the case. After Volvo announced its withdrawal from Polar Star, its share price once rose by 30%.

The share price of Polar Star once fell more than 15%, and its market value shrank by nearly 86% compared with the highest value.

The polar star, which just announced layoffs not long ago, is now worse, and the recent situation is in sharp contrast with Volvo.

Volvo is in a good situation, but Polar Star is in a bad situation.

On February 1st, Volvo released its performance report, which showed that its global sales in 2023 was 708,000 vehicles, driving the company’s revenue to increase by 21% year-on-year to 399.3 billion Swedish kronor (equivalent to about RMB 275.9 billion).

Excluding joint ventures and associated companies, the company’s basic operating profit is about 17.694 billion yuan, up 43% year-on-year.

What is even more rare is that the transformation results are also good:

Volvo sold 113,000 pure trams last year, up over 70% year-on-year, and the sales volume of plug-in hybrid vehicles was 152,000, up 10% year-on-year.

Simply calculate, the sales volume of Volvo’s new energy vehicles accounts for over 37.4% of the total sales volume.

Jim Ron, CEO of Volvo Cars, summed it up:

In 2023, Volvo’s revenue and profit reached new highs, which was an important milestone on the company’s transformation road.

In 2017, Polar Star, a joint venture between Volvo and Geely, did not perform well last year.

The annual sales volume was only 54,600 vehicles, and the total loss in the first three quarters was equivalent to RMB 5.27 billion.

Just announced 15% layoffs last week, saying that "the market is full of challenges", and it is necessary to adjust the business scale to cut costs and reduce blood transfusion of Geely and Volvo.

The poor performance of Polar Star is partly due to insufficient attention to the domestic market. The financial report in the first quarter of last year showed that its revenue share in China was only 1.4%.

Polar Star realized the problem, and in order to cater to the preferences of consumers in China, the new polar star 4 was designated as an SUV model.

In view of the local development in China, it was built on the vast platform of the same model SEA, the chassis was tuned by Volvo, and considering the intelligent competitiveness, Meizu’s Flyme Auto was installed on the car core.

It can be seen that Geely assembled the main battle for the battle of Polar Star 4.

In June 2022, the market value of IPO rushed to the pole star of nearly 197.3 billion yuan, which ushered in a dream start, but it was abandoned by "Swedish fellow villagers" less than two years later.

With the withdrawal of Volvo, the problem of polar star is more directly placed in front of Geely case. Geely has gained more direct equity, so it is necessary to try to make Polar Star shine again.

　　() Financial Research Center On April 21st, some investors asked (), Hello: Is the newly released Zhiji L7 pure electric vehicle jointly built by your company and Alibaba? Is it true that this car also has wireless charging function? thank you

　　The company replied, Dear investors, hello. Zhiji Automobile Technology Co., Ltd. was established at the end of 2020. It is a brand-new user-oriented automobile science and technology company jointly built by SAIC, () and Alibaba Group. Zhiji L7 has wireless charging function.

　　[car home Information] The oil price is about to usher in the "9 yuan" era, and friends around us have begun to succumb and want to change to a more economical car. Unfortunately, not only the oil price has gone up, but also the price of electric vehicles. Tesla and BYD have just announced price adjustments. In the era of high oil prices, hybrid models seem to be an ideal transition choice. Just last year, many car companies also released their own hybrid models. Today, let’s take a look at those hybrid models that have been listed this year and will be listed within 200,000 yuan to help you find more economical cars.

　　Many consumers have very high requirements for cars, which require both strong power, money saving and large space. In the past, for pure fuel vehicles, it was very difficult to achieve strong power, large space and fuel economy, because it was a contradiction in itself. Strong power requires large displacement, and it is impossible to save fuel with large displacement. However, the arrival of new energy technologies has perfectly solved these contradictions.

　　At present, there are three main types of hybrid models on the market, namely, hybrid electric vehicle, plug-in hybrid vehicle and extended-range hybrid vehicle. These three types will be included in the models to be recommended today. The battery of hybrid electric vehicle is small, which mainly depends on pure electric drive at low speed to save fuel. It does not need to be charged separately, and the price of new vehicle is easy to accept, but in terms of fuel economy, it is only slightly lower than that of ordinary fuel vehicle.

　　Plug-in hybrid vehicles, compared with ordinary hybrid vehicles, have larger batteries, so they will have better performance in fuel economy. Because it not only works in pure electricity at the starting state, but can completely choose EV pure electricity mode. In this way, pure electric commuting is not a dream in the road sections with more traffic lights in the city. If the daily commuting distance is within a reasonable range, you can basically commute by pure electricity, so in this way, the fuel consumption is actually zero. However, plug-in hybrid vehicles need to be charged separately to give full play to its advantages. If there is no charging pile at home, it will cost some time.

　　The extended-range hybrid model is an electric vehicle that does not need to be charged. The engine mainly charges the battery or supplies the generator. Although the fuel consumption is not lower than that of the plug-in hybrid model, it is lower than that of the oil-electric hybrid model, and it also saves the trouble of charging. Next, let’s take a look at the money-saving hybrid models that will be listed within 200,000 yuan this year.

　● BYD destroyer 05

　　BYD is gradually forming a series of marine life mainly equipped with E platform 3.0 pure electricity and a series of warships mainly equipped with DM-i plug-in hybrid technology. The destroyer 05 will be the first model of the warship series, and it will be positioned as a compact car. Its model size is 4780/1837/1495mm, and its wheelbase is 2718mm, which is basically the same as that of Qin PLUS DM-i, and its positioning will also form a complementary relationship with Qin PLUS DM-I. The car is equipped with an 8.8-inch full LCD instrument and a 15.6-inch floating multimedia touch screen.

　　The sales of BYD DM-i are booming in 2021, which has a lot to do with BYD’s strategic change. BYD plug-in hybrid models have been sold in the market for many years, and the early publicity point is its powerful power, even the acceleration time of 0-100km/h will be marked at the rear of the car. Last year, BYD changed its thinking and launched a number of DM-i models focusing on fuel-saving routes. After years of deep cultivation in the plug-in hybrid vehicle market and pure electric market, BYD DM-i models were quickly recognized by consumers.

　　Compared with the past DM-p models, the DM-i model engine is mainly a naturally aspirated small displacement engine, which increases the cruising range in pure electric mode and makes the comprehensive fuel consumption lower. Although the power is reduced, it is still at an excellent level in ordinary models.

　　BYD Destroyer 05 is equipped with Xiaoyun-Plug-in special 1.5L engine, which adopts Atkinson cycle working mode and ultra-high compression ratio of 15.5:1. It is a fuel-saving engine. Compared with ordinary engines, it simplifies the engine structure, improves the reliability and makes the power more efficient. On the motor, EHS electromechanical coupling unit adopts double motor design, including driving motor and generator. At medium and low speeds, the motor is mainly used to drive the vehicle, and at high speeds, the engine is used to directly drive the vehicle, and the driving motor is used as power assistance. In addition, the battery is equipped with Ferrous lithium phosphate’s blade battery, which has higher energy density and smaller volume, reducing the occupation of vehicle space.

　　From the parameter point of view, the 1.5L engine of destroyer 05 has a maximum power of 110 HP (81 kW) and a maximum torque of 135 Nm. In terms of driving motor, two power versions are provided according to different models, with the maximum power of 180 HP and 197 HP and the maximum torque of 316 Nm and 325 Nm respectively. The comprehensive pure electric cruising range of WLTC is 46km and 101km, respectively. Referring to Qin PLUS, the average fuel consumption given by the owner is 3.8L/100km. Of course, powerful friends can wait for Han DM-i, and its cruising range will be longer in pure electric mode.

　● Wei brand latte DHT-PHEV

　　Wei brand latte DHT-PHEV is positioned as a compact SUV, which will be equivalent to the positioning of Macchiato DHT-PHEV listed last year, forming complementary advantages. In terms of body size, its length, width and height are 4668/1890/1730mm and its wheelbase is 2745mm, which is obviously slightly larger than that of Macchiato DHT-PHEV. The car is equipped with four screens, including a 14.6-inch central control LCD screen, a 9.2-inch LCD instrument, a 9-inch touch screen and a HUD head-up display.

　　In the future, Wei Pai will promote DHT lemon mixing in all products and gradually transition to the era of new energy. DHT will be the focus of Wei Pai’s future development. At the same time, in terms of new energy technology, Wei Pai will also have two modes: HEV (oil-electricity hybrid) and PHEV (plug-in hybrid).

　　Great Wall DHT is a set of dual-motor high-efficiency hybrid system independently developed by Great Wall Motor for three years. The engine and two motors are connected through a parallel shaft 2-speed reduction mechanism, and the power output relationship between different components is adjusted through a clutch. That is, double motors are used to decouple the same wheel end of the engine to flexibly adjust the working state of the engine. In this way, the following three working modes can be realized: EV, series and parallel mode.

　　In pure electric mode, the TM main drive motor is driven by the lithium battery to directly drive the vehicle forward, and the engine is in a flameout state; In series mode, the engine runs in the high-efficiency interval to drive the GM motor to generate electricity, and the TM motor drives the wheels to move forward; In parallel mode, the engine drives the wheels through a two-speed reducer, and at the same time, the TM drive motor assists in adjusting the load of the engine.

　　In terms of parameters, the Latte DHT-PHEV is equipped with 1.5T intelligent DHT, with a total system power of 181kW and a peak torque of 532N·m, which will be matched with the DHT130 hybrid gearbox, with an acceleration of 7.5s from 0-100km/h, and a comprehensive fuel consumption of only 4.9L/100km, and a full-oil battery life of over 1,000km.

　● Chery Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+

　　In January of this year, the Chery Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+ was officially launched, and the price of the new car was 151.8-165.8 thousand yuan. It is a plug-in hybrid medium-sized SUV. Compared with the same price model, the Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+ has a larger body size, and it also brings more interior seating space, forming a three-row and seven-seat layout. The interior adopts double 12.3-inch dual-screen design, with built-in high-tech maps, singing bars, iQiyi and other apps, combined with SONY audio, showing a different audio-visual experience.

　　Chery Kunpeng Power was released at the Shanghai Auto Show in 2021. It is a global power architecture of Chery 4.0, a hybrid technology platform composed of Chery’s fourth-generation engine and a special DHT hybrid gearbox. Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+ is the first model of Chery equipped with Kunpeng DHT hybrid power system.

　　Chery claims in the advertisement of Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+ that the car has 3 engines, 3 gears, 9 models and 11 speeds. What is this? Three engines refer to three kinds of power sources, including 1.5TGDI Miller cycle engine with the highest thermal efficiency of more than 45%+DHT double motors (front double motors+rear single motors). Double motors can be driven separately or simultaneously, and generate electricity at the same time. At the same time, DHT has three physical gear ratios.

　　Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+ can realize pure electric mode and series extended range mode, that is, the engine drives the motor to generate electricity, and the motor drives the wheels, and it can also realize parallel mode, that is, the engine and the motor are driven at the same time. Nine modes can realize high-efficiency working modes such as single/double motor drive, extended range, parallel connection, direct engine drive, single/double motor energy recovery, driving/parking charging, etc. In addition, Chery combined the motor with the transmission to form the DHT hybrid special transmission, thus achieving 11 combination modes and smooth and efficient power output. Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+ also has 11 driving scenarios, including starting, medium and low speed, overhead, overtaking, red light, congestion, high speed, long distance, mountain road, high-speed steering, ice/snow/mud/sand.

　　In terms of parameters, the Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng e+ is equipped with a hybrid power system consisting of front double motor+rear single motor +1.5T engine. The four-wheel drive model with engine+double motor+electric rear axle accelerates for 4.9 seconds at 0-100km/h, and the engine+double motor model accelerates for 7.2 seconds at 0-100km/h. The whole system comes standard with a battery pack of 19.27kWh, and the maximum input torque is 57.

　● Changan UNI-K iDD

　　Changan UNI-K iDD is a plug-in hybrid medium-sized SUV, which just announced the price of the new car, with the price range of 176,900-192,900 yuan. The new car continues the design of the fuel version, and adopts a sporty and futuristic design. At the same time, the interior design is also very layered. The full LCD instrument panel and the suspended central control panel will not be absent from the car.

　　At the Chongqing Auto Show in 2021, Changan released the Blue Whale iDD hybrid system, which is a plug-in hybrid system, supporting pure electric mode and hybrid electric mode. This system includes blue whale engine, blue whale transmission, large-capacity battery control system, etc. Changan UNI-K iDD became the first vehicle equipped with the Blue Whale iDD hybrid system, and it will be applied to more of its products in the future.

　　The structure of Blue Whale iDD hybrid system is similar to that of plug-in hybrid system of Volkswagen. Both of them adopt P2 hybrid system structure, and the motor is placed between the engine and the transmission. Blue Whale iDD hybrid system adopts core technologies such as high-efficiency and high-pressure hydraulic system, three-clutch integration technology, intelligent electronic double pump technology, etc. The comprehensive efficiency of electric drive of Blue Whale electric drive transmission is 90%, and it has a super-capacity PHEV battery with a battery capacity of 30.7kWh and a pure electric cruising range of 130km. In addition, Changan UNI-K iDD also supports OTA upgrade in full power domain, which can continuously enhance users’ feelings.

The transmission system is matched with the Blue Whale three-clutch electric drive gearbox, and the NEDC has a pure electric cruising range of 130 km and a comprehensive cruising range of 1,100 km, which is power-deficient.

　● Geely Xingyue L Raytheon Hi·X Hybrid Edition

　　At the end of last year, Geely Xingyue L Raytheon Hi·X hybrid version officially announced the pre-sale price, and the pre-sale price of the new car was 173,700 yuan, which was positioned as a compact SUV. This is a hybrid model based on the Star Yue L model, which is different from the fuel version of Star Yue L in appearance design, mainly reflected in the design of the front grille. In the interior design, the three screens in the car are the biggest highlights, and the use of large-area suede leather fabrics shows the luxury inside the car.

　　Xingyue L Raytheon Hi·X hybrid version is equipped with a 1.5T three-cylinder engine code-named DHE15. The three-cylinder engine is smaller, which helps to reduce the volume of the whole hybrid system. For the working conditions where the three-cylinder engine is prone to jitter, such as starting, the system can be driven by a motor to avoid poor working areas. The temperature of compression and combustion process of Miller cycle engine is lower, thus reducing heat transfer loss and saving fuel.

　　With the appearance of DHT Pro, Geely hybrid system entered the era of dual motors. Of course, not all the double motors are used to drive the vehicle. The P1 motor is connected with the engine and mainly used to generate electricity, and the P2 motor is responsible for driving the vehicle. Geely has integrated a 3-speed transmission in the P2 drive motor of DHT Pro, which has more gears than ordinary models, and theoretically accelerates more smoothly, so the engine has more chances to be in an efficient working area.

　　Xingyue L Raytheon Hi·X hybrid version of the ternary lithium battery pack has a capacity of about 1.8kWh, and the battery pack is located in the channel in the middle of the seat. Compared with the strategy of putting the battery pack under the seat in mainstream hybrid models, this method has less impact on the space of riding and storage, giving consideration to practical performance.

　　In terms of parameters, Xingyue L Raytheon Hi·X hybrid version is equipped with a hybrid power system consisting of a 1.5T three-cylinder engine. The maximum power of the engine is 150 HP and the peak torque is 225 Nm. The transmission system adopts a 3-speed electric drive gearbox (DHT Pro). The thermal efficiency of the engine is 43.32%, the fuel saving rate is 40%, the maximum endurance is 1300km with full oil, the acceleration time from 0 to 100 km/h is 7.9 seconds, and the comprehensive fuel consumption is 4.3L/100km.

　● Nissan hacker e-POWER

　　After Nissan Sylphy e-POWER, a new generation of hackers will also bring e-POWER models and position compact SUVs. The appearance style of the new hackers is similar to that of the current Qijun, and the new cars look more sporty and flamboyant than the current models. In the interior, the overall design is layered, and the suspended central control panel and full LCD instrument are equipped.

　　E-POWER can be understood as an extended-range hybrid power system equipped with a small-capacity battery. It is an electric vehicle without charging. It is structurally composed of an engine, a generator and a drive motor. The engine is an extended-range generator, which only drives the generator to generate electricity. The generated electric energy will be stored in the battery or directly used as the energy input of the drive motor according to the vehicle working conditions.

　　E-POWER system has a simple structure and no complicated coupling device, which is beneficial to miniaturization and lightweight and is presented in series. In terms of working mode, under low load, the energy of driving motor is completely provided by battery, and the driving mode of vehicle is the same as that of pure electric vehicle. With the increase of vehicle driving load, the output power of the battery can’t meet the demand of the motor. At this time, the engine starts to drive the generator to generate electricity to meet the demand of the motor for electric energy. When the battery power is low, the engine will also start to drive the generator to generate electricity. Part of the generated electricity will be sent to the motor to drive the wheels, and the other part will charge the battery to ensure that the battery power is at an appropriate level.

There are no parameters for fuel consumption. At present, the comprehensive fuel consumption of Sylphy e-POWER is 3.9L.

　● Edit Comment:

　　Consumers should still decide which model to choose according to their own situation, for example, it is inconvenient to charge, or don’t consider plug-in hybrid vehicles. Hybrid models are more suitable for commuting in cities with congested road conditions. In addition to saving fuel and money, they can also bring you a better driving experience and a smoother feeling on the stop-and-go road. I believe that in 2022, it may be a new year for hybrid vehicles, and oil prices will promote the change of historical wheels, which is similar to the process of Japanese cars knocking on the door of the United States.

　　From September 30th to October 3rd, the performance version of Shanhai Gun, off-road gun, artillery and other heavy vehicles of Great Wall Gun, together with powerful vehicles such as Tank 300 and New Haval H5, formed the largest off-road corps, appeared in the "Alashan Heroes’ Club 2023", and gathered with users in the "Great Wall Motor Off-road Base" to make friends with cars and stroll in the sand sea.

　　As the leader of pickup trucks, the All-round Family of Great Wall Gun built the pickup truck culture base camp in China with its strong off-road strength, which ignited the off-road pickup truck dream in users’ hearts and led the pickup truck culture to leap upward.

　　Great Wall Gun Full Performance Familygo on an expedition/a campaignAlxa Write the lofty sentiments of galloping in the desert

　　During the event, the full-performance family models of the Great Wall Cannon were all unveiled, and all over the mountains were Great Wall Cannons. They galloped with users in the vast desert and reveled under the vast starry sky, presenting a "performance pickup truck feast".

　　As the leader of pickup truck culture and the leader of users’ co-creation, Great Wall Gun insists on creating user brands with users and empowering pickup truck culture. This Alashan Heroes’ Club is another user-created event after the fourth anniversary of the Great Wall Gun brand ushered in the 500,000-vehicle assembly line. This year’s Heroes’ Club will not only include cross-country events such as Arnaudas U2 Desert Championship, Great Wall Cup T3 Challenge, Artillery League Cup, but also activities such as users’ wave play and modification exhibition, cross-country training camp, light luxury camping in Shanhaiying, desert concert, etc., to play with users and be wild together.

　　Great Wall Gun’s all-round performance family not only demonstrated its outstanding performance and leading technology, but also conveyed the spirit of freedom, passion and adventure to users, experienced the fun of "wild" together, and wrote down the lofty aspirations of galloping through the desert.

　　The brand strength of Great Wall Gun has been recognized by the market and trusted by users. At present, the Great Wall pickup truck has been the first in sales for 25 consecutive years, and the global cumulative sales volume has exceeded 2.45 million; From January to August this year, the Great Wall pickup trucks sold a total of 135,477 units worldwide, up 7.3% year-on-year, and the domestic terminal market accounted for nearly 50%. For every two pickup trucks sold in China, one was the Great Wall, leading the pickup truck category value in China to jump upward.

　　Bigger, stronger and more luxurious Shanhai cannon performance editionStage the ultimate performance aesthetics

　　In this "2023 Alashan Heroes’ Club", the performance version of Shanhai Gun started the first test in the desert at the same time, showing off the hard-core off-road strength, and won unanimous praise from the media and user representatives in terms of luxury off-road configuration and long-distance crossing comfort.

　　Shanhai Gun Performance Edition is based on the world’s leading intelligent professional off-road tank platform, which perfectly integrates hard-core off-road and intelligent luxury, and redefines hard-core off-road pickup trucks with bigger, stronger and more luxurious hard-core strength.

　　The design concept of the performance version of Shanhai Gun originated from the aggressive spirit of China culture "erin brockovich". The exclusive body color of "Golden Armor" symbolizes the cross-country spirit of courage to challenge and constantly break through. Yellow sand wears golden armor in hundreds of battles, and it will never be returned without breaking Loulan. The whole vehicle body is close to the full-size pickup truck. Thanks to the design of shortening the rear suspension, increasing the wheelbase, widening the wheel track and optimizing the shock absorption arrangement, the proportion of the vehicle body is more coordinated, and the driving space is more spacious, bringing a space feeling like first class.

　　Shanhai Gun Performance Edition is equipped with the only and most powerful domestic 3.0T V6 engine, matched with 9AT transmission, and comes standard with silicone oil fan with better heat dissipation performance, surging power and always on-line; Standard Borgwarner 4A+MLOCK intelligent four-wheel drive system, equipped with front and rear axle electronically controlled jaw differential locks, to create a real "three locks" in the hearts of off-road players, and equipped with up to 9 all-terrain modes, all-weather, all-road, all-scene off-road needs can be handled freely, showing the ultimate off-road driving pleasure and charm. The original factory is equipped with millions of off-road equipment, such as front and rear metal bumpers, metal side pedals connected to the frame, 18-inch off-road AT tires, K-MAN nitrogen shock absorption, 12,500-pound T-MAX winch and other hard-core equipment, which saves users the troubles of licensing, going on the road, annual inspection and after-sales, and brings amazing new off-road play.

　　Highlighting the intelligent experience and high safety performance of the vehicle, Shanhai Gun Performance Edition also gives the optimal solution of off-road+intelligence, with L2-level high-level intelligent driving assistance, which can realize ACC adaptive cruise, intelligent cruise, AEB automatic emergency braking, lane keeping and other functions, giving the pickup a more intelligent and humanized experience with technology.

　　It is reported that the performance version of Shanhai Gun will expand the experience of users and the media in mid-October, and start the national pre-sale at the same time. It will be listed in the fourth quarter of this year, with a price of less than 300,000. I believe that with the hard blessing of the performance version of Shanhai Gun, we will be more free, more calm and more extreme in pursuing the mountains and seas in our hearts.

　　The Great Wall Gun created the off-road pickup truck culture that belongs to China people alone, so that off-road is no longer a hobby of a few people, but a lifestyle of more people. Great Wall Gun will continue to adhere to category innovation, continuously iterate and consolidate the full-performance family product matrix, so that more users can enjoy a new way of off-road life.

At this juncture in 2023,Using digital powerAccelerate application modernization,alreadybecomeGovernment and enterprises jointly build a digital China to promote Chinese modernization.The main theme.It can be said that going to the cloud has become the only way to intellectualize government and enterprises, and it is the future of digital China.

As a global manufacturing enterprise with nearly 200,000 employees, Huawei has many similarities with many government and enterprises, both of which are non-cloud-native, and have also experienced the process of their own digital transformation from scratch.Practicing the strategy of "everything is service", Huawei Cloud is based on the positioning of digital "cloud base" and "enabler".The technology, tools and experience precipitated in the digital transformation will continue to be opened on Huawei Cloud to help more government and enterprises accelerate digitalization.

On the one hand, Huawei Cloud provides a comprehensive and rich cloud service to help government and enterprises make good use of the cloud. In the application of modern technological innovation, Huawei Cloud provides six key technologies: "assembly delivery, digital intelligence drive, DevOps, service-oriented architecture, security, credibility and resilience", including the leading Huawei Cloud Astro low-code platform and innovative cloud services covering databases, AI, digital content production and other aspects. At the same time, Huawei Cloud also creatively integrated the four production lines, launched DevCloud Development Cloud, and realized the collaboration of DataOps, MLOps, MetaOps and DevOps. Through one-stop XOps solution, the asset sharing and development process of data, AI, digital content and applications were seamlessly integrated, and isolated islands were broken, which made the process from innovation to value realization more efficient and reliable.

In addition, for the diversified application scenarios of government and enterprises, Huawei Cloud Stack has comprehensively carried out innovation on the cloud. By extracting the common characteristics of industry segmentation scenarios, the cloud service combination Offering, networking, configuration, application, etc. has been standardized and continuously introduced to the market. Based on rich experience in industry cloudization, Huawei Cloud Stack is working with partners to provide professional services and best practices to help many government and enterprise users move towards deep cloud use. In 2022, Huawei Cloud Stack accumulated more than 5,200 global government and enterprise customers, and continued to lead in the government and enterprise market.

At the same time, Huawei Cloud has also built a soft capability of digital transformation, that is, spilling Huawei’s own digital transformation experience to Huawei Cloud, and jointly building industry aPaaS with partners to help users better realize application modernization and complete digital transformation through "experience as a service". Up to now, Huawei Cloud has released several basic aPaaS services, such as industry, heating, government affairs, coal mine, education, electric power and highway, as well as KooMessage cloud messaging service and river map KooMap service. Huawei Yunkaitian aPaaS has fully opened more than 50 scene cloud services and more than 100,000 API services, which are widely used in more than ten vertical industries.

On the other hand,With the comprehensive and deep use of the cloud in the government and enterprise market, the demand has increased by leaps and bounds year by year.The coordinated development among cities, industries and enterprises has become particularly important, which requires the joint efforts of government, enterprises, industry and research.

In order to accelerate the overall improvement of the quality and efficiency of the digital economy, and help the smart development of cities, the upgrading of industrial digital intelligence, and the innovative growth of enterprises, Huawei Cloud joined hands with institutions such as China Soft Institute, Federation of Industry and Commerce, Xinhua Net, media and ecological partners to jointly launch the "100-city enterprise application modernization China Tour" action, and joined hands with all parties.Promote the modernization of government and enterprise applications and accelerate the high-quality development of government and enterprise.

"China Tour of’ 100 Cities and 100 Enterprises’ Application Modernization" promotes the modernization of government and enterprise applications and accelerates high-quality development.

As an important part of the "100 Cities and 100 Enterprises Apply Modernization to China" campaign, Huawei Cloud City Summit has gone through five years, which is the five years that Huawei Cloud has been deeply cultivating government and enterprises, and it is also the five years that it witnessed the rapid cloudization of government and enterprises and entered the deep-water area of digital intelligence. In order to bring the latest intelligent transformation concepts, technologies and successful practical experience to various cities, industries and enterprises, since 2019, Huawei Cloud City Summit has begun to go deep into the country and enter the forefront of the intelligentization of government and enterprises. To this day,Huawei Cloud City Summit has been completed.Grow more and moreThe preferred platform for cities and enterprises to explore technology and business model innovation.Next, Huawei Cloud City Summit will continue to go to the whole country, injecting new kinetic energy into the modernization of urban and industrial applications.

Up to now, Huawei Cloud has served the 800+ China government cloud project in the government market, built a "one city and one cloud" with 150+ cities, and provided digital empowerment services for over 40 central enterprises and 200 state-owned enterprises; At the same time, relying on more than 160 innovation centers nationwide, Huawei Cloud has helped more than 23,000 manufacturing enterprises to digitally transform.

One tree doesn’t make a forest, and one river can’t make a sea. Digitalization has become the biggest dividend and opportunity for government and enterprises at present, and it is also a common opportunity for the whole industry. Huawei Cloud hopes to release digital productivity by building a "cloud base" in the future world and become the primary force for the intelligentization of government and enterprises.

As a global automobile safety benchmark, Volvo’s story began in Gothenburg, Sweden in 1927.

There, Volvo launched its first mass production model OV4, but it was ignored by the market because of its convertible structure design, which failed to take into account the local situation in Sweden.

It was not until the second model, the hard-top car PV4, was introduced that it was turned over by selling 694 cars in two years.

What put Volvo on the right track was the six-cylinder engine model PV651 launched in 1929. After the acquisition of Pentaverken Engine Company in 1935, Volvo was officially listed on the Swedish Stock Exchange.

Ford Motor Company was acquired in 1999 at a cost of US$ 6.45 billion. Later, due to the financial crisis in 2008, it was deeply mired in operating losses and had to sell its brand assets. Among them, Volvo Car was sold to Geely Automobile at a cost of US$ 1.8 billion in 2010, which was more than 70% lower than the original purchase price of US$ 6.45 billion. Ford is an old enemy in Volvo’s development history.

Geely and Volvo’s Ten Years’ Road

March 28th, 2020 is the 10th anniversary of Geely’s acquisition of Volvo, which is why when people talk about Volvo cars, they will mention Geely’s reasons.

Geely’s acquisition of Volvo in that year was enough to be called a snake swallowing an elephant drama. Li Shufu’s desperate saburo mentality made Volvo survive, especially in the second-tier luxury car camp in China market.

By 2018, the sales volume will reach 130,000 vehicles, the global sales volume will exceed 640,000 vehicles, and the brand value will soar from the original $1.8 billion to $18 billion, with a year-on-year increase of over 100%.

Since Geely acquired Volvo in 2010, thanks to the convenience Geely brought to Volvo in terms of channels and production capacity, the sales of Volvo cars in China and around the world have also increased year after year. Since Geely acquired Volvo, Volvo’s annual sales have risen sharply for six consecutive years.

Achieving profitability is just a starter. The highlight is that in 2019, global sales exceeded 700,000 vehicles, with a cumulative sales of 705,400 vehicles. Breaking the highest sales record since 1993, it can be said that Geely is a great benefactor on the road of Volvo’s revival.

Relying on the advantage of Geely’s localization in China, Volvo and Geely also jointly launched a new brand, Lexus, to enter the domestic high-end market. In 2018, the brand sold more than 120,000 vehicles, which almost tied Volvo’s annual sales, and made Great Wall WEY a loser, and established a reputation in the high-end market of domestic cars.

In the past ten years, the sales volume of Volvo cars has increased from 334,800 to 662,000 in 2020, and the China market has become the largest single market for Volvo.

Cars equipped with internal combustion engines have no future.

"Cars equipped with internal combustion engines have no future."

Volvo is full of longing for the future of electric vehicles, and even plans to completely eliminate all internal combustion engine automobile products including hybrid vehicles in 2030. This means that after 10 years, Volvo will bid farewell to fuel vehicles and become a pure electric brand completely.

However, with the current situation of Volvo’s electrification development, it is still far from such a radical plan.

The debut of Volvo’s first pure electric vehicle is long overdue, and the sales volume of electric vehicle brand Polar Star, which was born out of Volvo’s high-performance department specializing in electrification, is also a long story.

Farewell to the fuel truck completely after 10 years, which is quite a bit "desperate". But beyond that, Volvo seems to have no choice.

Volvo wants to rely on two wings when transforming to electrification, one is to rely on Polaris, and the other is to rely on its own hybrid car.

However, nowadays, the development of Polaris is far from optimistic, and hybrid cars are not up to expectations.

In 2017, Volvo’s department specializing in electrification and high performance was separated from Volvo and named Polar Star, officially becoming a brand new and independent electric vehicle brand.

The original intention of separating Polar Star is that Volvo hopes to change its traditional car image by the east wind of new energy, build a new brand with brand-new labels, develop in the direction of high-performance electric vehicles, and compete with Tesla.

Unfortunately, Volvo, which tried to fly with two wings, failed to fly.

Polar Star did not fulfill the dream of Volvo’s high-performance electric vehicle brand as expected. In 2020, the cumulative insurance amount of Polar Star was only 365 vehicles.

In terms of products, the brand positioning of Polar Star and Volvo is one of the major reasons for the poor sales performance of Polar Star.

Polar Star 1 can see the shadow of Volvo S90. The almost identical interior, central control panel and Raytheon’s hammer headlights make people feel that they bought a Volvo for 1.45 million yuan. The design of Polar Star 2 and Volvo 40.2 concept car cannot be said to be very similar, but can only be said to be exactly the same.

The core selling point of Polar Star, which goes out independently, is still the characteristics of environmental protection and performance, which is very similar to Volvo. As long as Volvo introduces pure electric vehicles, it will definitely collide with its own hatched polar star, and its own electric vehicle business coincides with its electric vehicle business, which is not conducive to the development of polar star.

On the other hand, Volvo’s funding for Polar Star is not generous, which makes Polar Star slow in terms of factory construction and retail network construction. This is also reflected in Volvo’s financial report.

According to the financial report, the loss of Polar Star reached 520 million Swedish kronor (about 380 million yuan) in 2018. Perhaps in order to improve cash flow, it was recently reported that Polar Star is promoting financing and will issue an IPO in the future.

Thomas Ingrat, CEO of Polar Star Brand, also confirmed that the goal of Polar Star’s medium and long-term development is very clear, which is to open the door to IPO and stock market.

Get an electric shock before Tesla

But in fact, Volvo is the earliest luxury brand that "gets an electric shock".

As early as 1992, Volvo launched the ECC model, started the exploration of electrification, and launched the ECC model. This car uses gas turbine+electric drive, not only that, but also the whole car is made of recyclable materials.

In 2007, when Europe scoffed at the electrification of automobiles, it was Volvo that released C30 Electric and stood up for electric vehicles. The car is equipped with "DRIVE" powertrain technology, adopts a mid-range battery pack, and has a cruising range of 150km. It takes only 8 hours to fully charge the household charging pile.

At that time, Tesla was only established for more than three years, and its first automobile product Roadster was not released.

Volvo is also the first traditional car company to stand up and specify the time to stop production of traditional fuel vehicles. In July 2017, Volvo announced that it would stop production of fuel vehicles after 2019.

However, all Volvo did was pay lip service. After the timetable of "stopping production of fuel vehicles" was put forward, Volvo’s electric vehicle project did not speed up. It was not until October 2019 that Volvo launched the first pure electric vehicle XC40 RECHARGE.

At the same time, other new energy car companies have accelerated their pace.

In 2017, Tesla set up a branch in China, which achieved sales of more than 20,000 electric vehicles that year. In 2018, Audi e-tron made its debut in China. Soon after, Mercedes-Benz EQC appeared in China.

Volvo’s XC40 RECHARGE is not only a late debut, but also an "oil-to-electricity" model, which is based on the Volvo XC40 fuel version. The product of "oil to electricity" has shortcomings such as short battery life, slow charging, unstable chassis and poor handling since its birth.

In 2020, Volvo XC40 RECHARGE sold only 87 vehicles; In January 2021, its sales volume was 51 vehicles.

Difficult IPO

At present, Geely is considering restarting its subsidiary Volvo’s IPO plan, and Volvo’s valuation may be around 20 billion US dollars.

Geely Holding will negotiate Volvo’s IPO as soon as this year, and consider potential listing sites including Stockholm and Amsterdam.

At present, IPO preparation is still in its infancy, and details such as potential valuation may change. Volvo Cars will also judge various IPO schemes, and if necessary, it will make regulatory disclosure at an appropriate time.

Previously, Geely Holding prepared for the IPO of Volvo Cars in 2018, but investors were hesitant about its valuation of up to 30 billion US dollars, and then Volvo’s listing went nowhere.

It is difficult to go public not only because the valuation is too high, but because Volvo is not worth the valuation.

As we all know, Volvo has got a hard hand in price reduction. The sharp price reduction has temporarily brought about an increase in Volvo’s sales, but it has greatly reduced its brand power and lowered its brand image.

Volvo’s technology has been continuously delegated to Geely, which will undoubtedly greatly reduce its brand image.

Price reduction and technology decentralization have undoubtedly made Volvo lose the dignity and value of luxury brands.

At the same time, it has greatly reduced consumers’ confidence in this brand. With the decline of brand power and consumer confidence, Volvo’s sales growth rate has slowed down significantly.

In terms of product quality, Volvo has also begun to decline.

Although Volvo has always advertised its own safety, frequent quality problems and many large-scale vehicle recalls have torn the label of Volvo’s "safety" completely.

In 2020 alone, Volvo recalled four times, involving more than 530,000 vehicles. Moreover, the number of vehicles recalled due to hidden dangers in seat belts is as high as 245,000.

As the inventor of three-point seat belts, Volvo finally stumbled in its own field, which forced people to re-examine Volvo.

The "low frequency resonance" problem of Volvo’s main sales models has also caused its reputation to decline.

Of course, the manufacturer has not come up with an effective solution, and this problem still plagues many Volvo car owners for a long time. Such quality makes it difficult to link Volvo with the "safety" label again.

As the brand image goes from bad to worse, the brand power is greatly reduced and quality problems appear frequently, Volvo’s future road becomes more and more difficult.

With the intensification of competition, even if Volvo goes public smoothly in the future, it will worry about the stock price.

New energy vehicles are the hottest topic at the moment, especially after the outbreak of gathering with major new car-making forces, which gives consumers more choices. Then, among many models, why can BYD Han become the sales volume after Model 3? Today we will talk about three reasons for choosing it!

Reason one: the same level of security is the best!

Whether it is a pure electric car or a plug-in hybrid car, it must first be a "car". You may prefer black technology or pay more attention to operation, but no one can ignore the safety of the car. Especially the spontaneous combustion problem, although it has a higher endurance performance, it is extremely unstable and prone to safety accidents. Once it spontaneously ignites, it will cause explosions in a short time, which will endanger the health of passengers.

The birth of blade battery completely solved this problem, not only infinitely close to ternary lithium battery in battery life, but also completely solved the problem of spontaneous combustion. And Ferrous lithium phosphate itself is cheap, and the car is naturally the safest in its class. In addition, it can also greatly save the cost of building a car, and apply the cost to the interior materials, which can also greatly enhance the sense of luxury.

Reason 2: It is most suitable for home use.

In the comparison of models of the same class, both Model 3 and Model 3 have a "common problem", that is, their body size is too small, more like a sedan, especially the rear space is too narrow to use. Byd Han is a real dimension reduction blow, with a body size of 4980×1910×1495mm and a wheelbase of 2920mm far exceeding the other two cars.

If the owner is a single aristocrat or a young man who has just fallen in love, it won’t make a big difference for the time being, but if it is a family that has already married or even had children, then BYD Han’s advantage is very obvious.

Reason 3: worry-free battery life

Although from the book data, BYD Han’s battery life is not particularly top-notch, according to the actual measurement by the owner and the media, BYD Han’s battery life is very excellent, and the actual battery life of the 605km version is basically measured at around 600km, even in the cold winter, the owner’s measured result is more than 390km. On the other hand, some ternary lithium models have a battery life of more than 700km, but the actual battery life level can’t even nedc 300km, which has caused great troubles to consumers.
