BYD Han’s sales volume has exceeded 10,000 for several months in a row, and what impressed consumers is performance and quality.

Since 2009, China has surpassed the United States to become the world’s largest automobile producer and consumer market. In the following ten years, China’s automobile market has undergone earth-shaking changes, from the initial "market for technology" to "overtaking by changing lanes" under the wave of electrification. Of course, "lane-changing overtaking" can’t just be said by mouth, but it should be realized through the core technology of completely independent new energy vehicles. At the same time, it is necessary to be able to independently produce world-class high-quality new energy vehicles in order to realize the real "lane-changing overtaking".

Looking at the current independent brands, it is obviously BYD, the new energy leader, who is most likely to achieve "overtaking in different lanes". Especially since its flagship model "Han" came out, its sales volume has exceeded 10,000 for several months in a row, and it has become the benchmark product of China brand medium and large cars. In the fierce competition market, why BYD Han can achieve excellent results, the super-high product quality is definitely the core factor. In March, 2021, BYD held the activity of "Tempering-BYD’s Quality Journey", which made us really see BYD’s quality standards and intentions.

Safety is the core, and BYD Han was tempered like this.

There is a popular saying in the automobile circle: making cars that are not aimed at safety is hooliganism. BYD has always spared no effort in terms of safety. As the flagship model of BYD, Han has become an "industry leader" in the safety field.

It is understood that in the process of vehicle development, BYD has carried out a large number of simulation designs for safety, and simulated the passive safety of the whole vehicle, system, subsystem and parts in the event of collision through mathematical models. In order to reach the safety level defined in the planning, Han adopted a high-safety car body, in which 43 pieces of military-grade thermoformed steel were used, and BYD Han used 97kg of thermoformed steel in body-in-white, which not only ranked first among China brand mass-produced cars, but also nearly twice as much as the second one, creating "invisible" protection and safer driving experience for consumers.

the Han Dynasty/the Han nationality/Chinese (language)/man

There is a saying that what you get from the paper is shallow. For car safety, nothing is more convincing than a crash test. The vehicle collision laboratory built by BYD with huge investment can not only carry out basic frontal, offset and side collision tests, but also carry out frontal 40% overlapping deformable rigid barrier collision, frontal 25% overlapping rigid barrier collision, rear-end collision, tumbling and column collision, and even real collision between two vehicles at high speed. It is one of the most advanced vehicle safety collision laboratories in the world.

The outstanding collision laboratory, to a great extent, represents BYD’s extra care in safety. In addition to the common crash tests such as frontal, side and rear-end collision before listing, Han also conducted more stringent and complicated safety tests for the complexity of road traffic and the characteristics of new energy vehicles, such as frontal collision with a top speed of 120km/h and ultra-difficult small offset collision, so as to ensure the safety of users in extreme traffic accidents to the maximum extent.

Of course, for new energy vehicles, in addition to the safety of vehicles, battery safety is the focus of everyone’s attention. For this reason, BYD has launched a blade battery. In this activity, the acupuncture test was displayed on the spot. Compared with the ternary lithium battery, it exploded and caught fire instantly after puncture, and the blade battery completed the puncture test steadily, which showed us BYD’s strength in leading the global power battery safety to a new height.

Besides safety, BYD Han’s high quality is reflected in its high reliability and long life. When we walked into BYD Parts Testing Center, there were a series of test stands, such as steering system laboratory, suspension system durability test platform, vehicle four-column test bench and environmental warehouse, MAST multi-axis simulation vibration test bench, 24-channel road simulation test bench, etc. The repeated tests made BYD Han more reliable. Not only that, BYD Han has to complete the "three highs" test in a harsh and extreme environment, and run on real roads in Heilongjiang, Tibet, Hainan Island and other places in the country through the team’s self-driving mode, which makes BYD dare to target the life of the whole vehicle at 600,000 kilometers, which is twice as much as that of the same class.

The sales volume is only the beginning, and BYD Han leads the brand upward.

As mentioned above, BYD Han has sold more than 10,000 cars for several months in a row, and in terms of sales volume, it is second only to the "Three Musketeers" (Audi A6L (parameter picture), Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 5 Series) models with a monthly sales volume of 10,000, which is far away from other competitors. As the only new energy vehicle with a monthly sales of over 10,000 yuan in the current medium and large car market, Han can be said to have achieved a milestone breakthrough, marking the official entry of China brand into the same class car head camp.

Byd Han, as a heavyweight model of BYD for ten years, has a more important significance besides sales volume, which is to lead the brand upward and lead its own brand to hit the high-end market. When it comes to the upward trend of China’s automobile brand, behind it is the upward trend of technology. As BYD’s flagship model, Han has 12 best in the world and 9 best in China, setting a benchmark for the safety, performance and luxury of new energy vehicles. It can be said that with strong technical strength, Han has subverted consumers’ cognition of the mid-to-high-end car market, and made a solid step on the road to the breakthrough of China brand cars.

When major car companies are still simply pursuing single indicators such as battery life, BYD Han, which integrates the world’s leading hard-core technology, has set a new benchmark for the new energy industry. Byd Han’s strong product strength in performance, safety, luxury, design and other aspects has established the identity of the flagship model and made people see the powerful strength of the current China automobile brand.

In addition, the appearance of BYD Han not only created a new standard of global new energy vehicle technology and quality, but also rewritten the market structure of new energy vehicles and traditional fuel luxury vehicles. As the saying goes: hearing is empty, seeing is believing. Through the activity of "Quality Journey of BYD", we can see BYD’s focus on quality, and it is this focus that enables it to always lead the new energy market. Nowadays, with the arrival of the stock era, super-high quality is the first factor to impress consumers, which also gives us reason to believe that BYD will create more brilliant achievements in the future.

Xiaomi was exposed to 10% layoffs and the founding employees left, and Lei Jun once again faced heavy pressure.

Wen | Hunting Cloud Network Fei Wang

The Spring Festival of the Year of the Tiger is coming to an end, and Internet companies are scrambling to stage the drama of layoffs.

Recently, there are rumors that Xiaomi plans to lay off 10% of employees, and HR has already started an interview. Live a "radish squat" game.

Regarding the news of layoffs, Xiaomi responded urgently that there have been no layoffs in Xiaomi’s entrepreneurship, and at present, there are more than 4,000 hot jobs in Xiaomi that are still recruiting talents. Xiaomi welcomes outstanding talents to join.

In addition to the "layoffs" storm, the departure of Li Weixing, an employee of Xiaomi No.12, was also revealed.

According to Sina Technology, Li Weixing, a member of Xiaomi’s founding team and former vice chairman and secretary general of Xiaomi Technical Committee, left his post. Li Weixing is Xiaomi’s No.12 employee. On April 6, 2010, when Xiaomi Company was founded, Li Weixing was among the 13 people who drank millet porridge with Lei Jun.. He was in charge of MIUI development in the early days and then transferred to the technical committee.

At present, Li Weixing has left Xiaomi, and the specific reason for leaving is unknown.

"Layoff" began at the end of last year, and Xiaomi has good products and fish or is the first wave.

According to the report of Whip Cowboy, at the end of last year, Xiaomi experienced a wave of layoffs, and the department involved was Xiaomi Youpin. A person familiar with the matter said: "Because of the overlapping business, people who had good products and passed Xiaomi at the end of last year were laid off."

On January 17 this year, Xiaomi Youpin Youyu officially announced that due to business adjustment, Youpin Youyu will terminate its operation at 10: 00 on March 17, 2022, when users will not be able to access Youpin Youyu App and applets.

In addition, it was mentioned in the report of the whip ox that as early as last December, Xiaomi employees had to know the news that the company was going to "lay off employees". "The leaders of all departments are forced to assign 10% performance C indicators. Xiaomi’s assessment performance for employees is divided into three levels: A, B and C. Employees who get C mean to be interviewed by HR and may be laid off. "

The above-mentioned employees said, "Xiaomi has always had the tradition of’ elimination at the end’, but in the past, resigned employees topped the number of places eliminated at the end, but this wave was officially filed. In the second year, it was this wave (the person with performance appraisal C) that was laid off first. " According to the employee, "some old or redundant departments in the direction of the Internet, such as the information technology department, have been laid off more, while some departments with good benefits, few people or new ones have laid off fewer employees or even no employees, that is, they have not been assigned the index of C."

As a result, after the news of Xiaomi’s layoffs broke out, some relevant personnel of Xiaomi’s mobile phone products department said that they had not heard the news of layoffs and there was no layoffs in their team. Not only that, Xiaomi’s former employees recently received a text message saying: Xiaomi’s door is always open, welcome to join Xiaomi again.

As for who will be laid off, according to the above-mentioned employees, "there are two different views on the criteria for layoffs this time. One is to lay off the grassroots who do things. For example, he heard that there is a department with five people and four leaders, and the only one who works has been laid off. Another way of saying it is specifically for the middle-level people who are not qualified to fish.’ There are two middle-level leaders in our next-door department who left at the end of last year. I wonder if they were laid off.’ "

Coincidentally, on January 29 this year, there was just a personnel change inside Xiaomi Company: Chang Cheng, the group vice president and general manager of Xiaomi’s mobile phone products department, left for personal reasons; Shang Jin, former vice president of Xiaomi Group and general manager of China New Retail Department, also left for personal reasons.

It should be noted that Xiaomi mentioned in the above response that "4,000 hot jobs are still recruiting talents", which is easily reminiscent of Xiaomi’s car-making project.

Since the announcement of building a car in March last year, Xiaomi began to recruit talents in the fields of vehicle and autonomous driving. At the end of July last year, Xiaomi released 120 jobs in two days, mainly in the field of complete vehicles.

According to the salary announced by Xiaomi, the monthly salary of its recruitment position is between 20 and 60 K, with 14 salaries. The treatment is much higher than that of a group of new car-making forces.

In September, 2021, it was reported that Xiaomi would hold an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders on October 25th to approve the adoption of Xiaomi EV’s equity incentive plan. The authorized limit of the plan is 1 billion shares, accounting for 10% of the total issued shares.

Coincidentally, at almost the same time, Yu Liguo, president of Yuanji Fox Automobile, joined Xiaomi. Only for various reasons, the news was not officially announced until January 14 this year. Xiaomi announced on the same day that he appointed Yu Liguo as the vice president of Xiaomi Automobile and the political commissar of Xiaomi Automobile Beijing Headquarters, responsible for coordinating the comprehensive management of Xiaomi Automobile, the promotion of special business and the organization and talent construction of Xiaomi Automobile Beijing Headquarters.

"Changes in operating conditions": the market share returned to the third place, and "high-end+car-making" burned money at both ends.

Regarding the news of "layoffs", some relevant personnel said that Xiaomi did not reduce the dismissal of employees because of changes in business conditions, but it was eliminated because of the mismatch of employees’ business capabilities.

The above-mentioned "changes in operating conditions" may be related to the sluggish share price of Xiaomi, or it may be related to high-end and "burning money" in making cars.

Relevant information shows that Xiaomi Group landed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on July 9, 2018, with an issue price of HK$ 17/share, but it broke when it went public. On September 2, 2019, Xiaomi Group’s share price once fell to the lowest point of HK$ 8.28/share. On the day of listing, Lei Jun once boasted to double the share price of investors who bought Xiaomi on the day of listing. Until January 4, 2021, Xiaomi’s share price closed at HK$ 34/share, and finally realized the promise of doubling IPO investors.

In the second quarter of 2021, Xiaomi’s mobile phone shipments ranked second in the world for the first time. However, the good times did not last long. According to the report of Canalys, a market research organization, the global market share of Xiaomi mobile phone was 14% in the third quarter of last year, which was not as good as Apple’s 15% market share, ranking third, and even lost the first position in Europe, Russia, Southeast Asia and other markets in one fell swoop.

Due to the combination of various factors, Xiaomi’s share price suffered a "five-day losing streak" before the Spring Festival, and even "Xiaomi broke again" was listed on Weibo Hot Search.

Up to now, Xiaomi’s share price is HK$ 16.28 per share, which is 54.65% lower than the high of HK$ 35.90 on January 5, 2021. The market value is HK$ 407.1 billion, and the evaporation at a higher point exceeds HK$ 490 billion.

"High-end" refers to the high-end strategy of Xiaomi announced by Lei Jun on February 8 this year: "The high-end road is the only way for Xiaomi’s growth, and it is also the battle of life and death for Xiaomi’s development. We will unswervingly implement the high-end strategy."

Lei Jun said: "The high-end road cannot be achieved overnight. We must insist that Qingshan will not relax, maintain long-term strategic strength and continuous investment, and resolutely implement the’ 100 billion in five years’ R&D plan."

However, a data from HCR Huichen shows that in 2021, the share of domestic high-end smartphones (models with a price of more than 5,000 yuan) reached 74.26%, while Huawei still maintained a market share of 17.82% after two years of shortage, and Xiaomi was even less than a fraction of Huawei’s mobile phone share, only 2.97%.

Building a car is a big event that is almost "well known" since Xiaomi officially announced in March 2021.

On March 30, 2021, Xiaomi Group announced that the board of directors of the company had officially approved the establishment of the smart electric vehicle business, with an initial investment of 10 billion yuan. It is estimated that the investment in the next 10 years will reach 10 billion US dollars (about 65.6 billion yuan).

At the press conference that night, Lei Jun claimed that he was willing to put all his reputation in life and personally lead the team to fight for Xiaomi Automobile! Lei Jun is even more heroic and said, "We can afford it" (the bottom spirit may come from the total cash reserve of over 100 billion yuan mentioned in Xiaomi’s annual report of the previous fiscal year).

It is roughly estimated that Xiaomi needs to be "high-end+car-making" within ten years, and the total cost is about 265.6 billion yuan.

However, Xiaomi’s "building a car" seems to have closed the "open source" door of external financing blood transfusion from the beginning. According to the relevant report of Tencent News "Qianwang", "In the past (around March 2021), a large number of friends in the investment circle asked Lei Jun whether there were investment opportunities, but they were all declined, because only when the car and Xiaomi mobile phone were fully connected could the business be done well."

Sales declined, the stock price was depressed, and "high-end+car-making" was another golden beast. In addition to "open source", Xiaomi seems to be able to "cut down" only through the veiled "elimination".

Huawei will upgrade the new M7 by 500 million yuan, and support NCA in urban areas nationwide by the end of the year.

  Yesterday (September 12th), Huawei held the launch conference of AITO’s new M7 series in Shanghai. The new car launched five models with five seats and six seats, with the price range of 249,800-329,800 yuan.

Based on the ability of multi-sensor fusion perception, the new M7 in Wenjie also has the intelligent parking ability of visible parking, and supports parking in parking service and ultra-narrow parking spaces in the park.

  As the first achievement of the cooperation between Huawei and Celestial in the mode of intelligent selection, AITO has been supported by Huawei in the field of intelligence, so it has ushered in rapid growth in the new energy vehicle market, reaching the peak of monthly sales of 12,000 vehicles in October last year, but its sales suddenly dropped sharply in January this year, and it was not until June that it gradually recovered to the level of 6,000 to 7,000 vehicles. In July this year, Yu Chengdong once said, "In the face of external shocks, we will improve rapidly. This year, we will comprehensively optimize in the fields of retail, service and delivery, and enhance the overall service capability. Sales volume is only the result of a certain development stage, and tomorrow’s capability is based on the existing technology accumulation. Huawei will always maintain high investment in research and development, and constantly use innovative technologies to enhance the user experience."

  Based on this, the new AITO M7, which was built with a heavy upgrade of 500 million yuan, not only upgraded in the field of intelligent driving and intelligent cockpit, but also greatly improved the performance, space design and layout of the body chassis.

  In terms of driving experience, AITO has upgraded HUAWEI DATSTM 2.0 and front and rear suspension double FSD variable damping shock absorbers. In terms of power, it is equipped with HUAWEI DriveONE extended-range electric drive platform, and the four-wheel drive version accelerates 4.8s per 100 kilometers. Under the condition of full oil and full electricity CLTC, the new M7 has a comprehensive battery life of 1300km and a pure battery life of 240km, and the fuel consumption is as low as 5.6L/100km under the feeding condition. Yu Chengdong said that the new M7 has an ultra-low drag coefficient of 0.298Cd, giving consideration to endurance and power. "The acceleration performance is equivalent to 4.0T, but the fuel consumption is only equivalent to 1.5T".

  In terms of space, the effective space in the new M7 five-seater car in AITO is as long as 3338mm, the trunk is 1100mm deep, and the standard volume can reach 686L, and various modes such as a 2-meter big bed can be switched to match the 52L storage compartment in the trunk. The overall space of the front, middle and rear three rows of the six-seat layout reaches 2605mm, and the whole car is full of seats. There is still 1.1 meters of trunk space and 188L standard volume, which can be expanded to 775L after putting down the rear seats.

  In terms of security, AITO asks the new M7 to give consideration to passive security, active security to avoid accidents, physical security and intelligent security. In terms of passive safety, the new M7 body structure is matched with mold opening, and the welding production line is rebuilt. The submarine-grade thermoformed steel accounts for 24.4%, high-strength steel and aluminum alloy account for 80.6%. In addition, the new car comes standard with eight airbags and front double pre-tensioned seat belts; In terms of active safety, HUAWEI ADS 2.0 can achieve forward, lateral and backward omni-directional anti-collision ability, and the maximum braking speed of automatic emergency braking can be increased to 90km/h, which can reduce 90% traffic accidents caused by inattention and complex road conditions.

BYD’s brand-new Qin Fuel/Qin EV has entered the compact sedan market since 64,900 yuan.

On November 5th, BYD’s brand-new Qin series was officially launched, and six new models were launched. Among them, BYD Qin has added four fuel models, and the official guide price of the new Qin fuel is 64,900-81,900 yuan. Before January 25, 2020, the first batch of car owners can enjoy a discount of 5,000 yuan and a surprise of up to 17,000 yuan. The price range of the new Qin EV after subsidy is 129,900 — 139.9 thousand yuan.

A new fuel version has been added to the compact car market.

Zhao Changjiang, general manager of BYD Auto Sales Co., Ltd., mentioned in an interview that from January to September this year, the compact car market accounted for 31.7% of the total market, which is the highest share of the automobile segment and also the "place where the military strategists must fight for it". The brand-new Qin Fuel and Qin EV listed this time are divided into two ways, entering the fuel field and new energy field respectively, and continuing BYD’s journey in the compact car market.

Zhao Changjiang also said that the Qin series has always been a new energy vehicle, and the launch of the fuel version has important considerations: after the launch of the new Qin fuel version, it will make up for the lack of compact fuel cars in the Dynasty series. The brand-new Qin fuel adopts Dragon Face design language, led by internationally renowned design master Wolfgang Eiger, with a length of 4675mm and a wheelbase of 2,670 mm. The new car is equipped with a 1.5-liter +CVT power combination, which meets the national six emission standards. The maximum power is 80 kW, the peak torque is 148 Nm, and the comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 5.9L.

With the launch of brand-new Qin fuel, BYD Dynasty series products have achieved full engine and full power coverage in compact cars, intermediate cars, compact SUVs, medium and large SUVs and MPV markets.

The brand value of new energy is strong. The new Qin EV has a battery life of 421km.

Along with the new Qin fuel, there is also a new Qin EV. The new Qin EV also uses the Dragon Face design language, and the front face adopts a matrix closed grille. It is worth mentioning that the new Qin EV is based on the world’s leading professional electric vehicle platform — — The BYD e platform is built to realize the efficient integration of motor, electronic control and transmission, reduce the overall body weight, optimize the energy transmission path and reduce the power consumption. The maximum power of its driving motor can reach 100 kW and the peak torque is 180 Nm. The ternary lithium battery has a capacity of 53.1kWh, an energy density of 160Wh/kg, and NEDC’s comprehensive working life reaches 421km.

In the field of new energy vehicles, BYD has a solid technical accumulation, especially in terms of safety. The brand-new Qin EV listed this time builds a seven-dimensional four-layer battery safety matrix, which fully guarantees battery safety in terms of reliable connection, high-voltage protection, collision and overcharge.

With its technical strength and reputation, BYD has established a solid brand awareness among consumers. Therefore, in the case of a decline in the new energy vehicle market, the cumulative sales of BYD’s new energy vehicles in the first nine months still achieved a year-on-year increase of 34.31% to 192,600 units. New energy is the development trend of the automobile market, and Zhao Changjiang judges that it will gradually pick up next year.

The road to champion, the new Qin continues to move forward, intelligent technology empowers travel.

As the "pioneering work" of Dynasty cars, Qin has accumulated more than 200,000 car owners since its listing in 2013. Qin DM has won the CRC SAE category for many years in a row and is a "double champion" in the market and on the field.

Under the background that after the Pan-90s, it gradually became the main consumer and intelligent networking became the trend, Qin also chose to keep pace with the times. The newly listed brand-new Qin Fuel and brand-new Qin EV are both equipped with BYD’s latest DiLink 2.0 intelligent networking system, and users can install 3 million +APP applications on the system, providing cloud service functions, smart bracelet key system and other configurations, and matching Bosch ESP 9.3 body electronic stability system. At the same time, the new Qin EV also supports the intelligent remote upgrade of OTA of the whole vehicle, which can comprehensively upgrade the multimedia system, power system and braking system, and is equipped with remote driving black technology.

In addition, the brand-new Qin Fuel and the brand-new Qin EV both have leading configurations of the same class, such as the longest 4675mm body and NVH library-level quiet space, and their core components are all from internationally renowned suppliers.

With the listing of brand-new Qin fuel and Qin EV, BYD’s continuous efforts in the field of cars have been kicked off. According to reports, BYD will launch a brand-new medium and large car next year — — Han, when the dynasty series will officially enter the mid-to high-end car market.

BYD’s "Easy Sifang" black technology concept is active, and the auto sector has multiple daily limit.

  On January 6th, the financial sector reported that the automobile sector had strengthened. Today, Kaida, Junda and Tongda Electric had daily limit, and Aolian Electronics rose more than 13%.

  In the news, on January 5th, BYD’s brand-new high-end automobile brand was officially released, and its core technology "Easy Sifang" was emphatically introduced. It is understood that the "Easy Sifang" technology is BYD’s first mass-produced four-motor drive technology in China, which can accurately control the four-wheel dynamics of vehicles by virtue of the four-motor independent vector control technology and create a brand-new automobile safety technology system.

  Several stocks that took the lead in daily trading on Friday seemed to be related to the concept of "wheel-side motor", and investors asked related listed companies whether BYD’s black technology was related to you.

Qunar.com mislabeled "18 yuan for one night". Four people bought 7,800 copies and were cancelled.

  Four people, including Jiang, bought 7,800 group purchase coupons for 7-day hotel stay at the price of each 18 yuan on Qunar.com, and then Qunar.com unilaterally frozen all the group purchase coupons and refunded them, which caused disputes between the two sides. After the court of first instance rejected the prosecution of Jiang, Jiang appealed to Beijing No.1 Intermediate People’s Court. Yesterday morning, the second trial of the case was held in Beijing No.1 Intermediate People’s Court.

  The 116 yuan hotel group purchase coupon was wrongly marked as 18 yuan.

  In August 2014, Xingzhi Hotel reached an agreement with the fun company affiliated to Qunar.com on the 7-day hotel chain Wuxi Central Station Store, where Qunar.com released the group purchase marketing information of the hotel and provided users with electronic consumption vouchers, which were recognized by the hotel.

  In November, 2014, Qunar.com published a group purchase product of "7-day hotel chain Central Station Store staying in a traditional twin room for one night" in Wuxi, with a discount of 0.9%, and the group purchase price was 18 yuan. Jiang, Wang, Zhu and Wang bought 2100 copies, 2500 copies, 1900 copies and 1300 copies of goods respectively, which are valid for one year, and paid all the group purchase money, and have received the electronic group purchase coupons issued by the website of Funa Company.

  On the first day of the product’s launch, some people spent money with 18 yuan’s group purchase coupons. Qunar.com found that it mislabeled the room with a total price of 116 yuan as 18 yuan, and then unilaterally frozen the above 7,800 group purchase coupons and made a refund.

  After receiving the refund notice, Jiang and others sent letters to Qunar.com several times, asking them to perform the contract according to the contract, but they were rejected. Later, Jiang and other four people appealed to the court, requesting that Qunar.com continue to fulfill the group purchase according to the group purchase information published on the website.

  Violate the principle of fairness and dismiss the prosecution in the first instance.

  When the case was opened in the first instance, Qunar.com said that the employee mislabeled the original cost price of 109 yuan as 7 yuan on the day of the incident, and then the system automatically generated the group purchase price 18 yuan. In the process of reaching an online service contract with four people, including Jiang, there were frauds and major misunderstandings, and the conclusion and contents of the contract violated the basic principles of voluntariness, equal compensation, honesty and credit, fairness and so on. If we continue to perform the contract, it will cause huge losses to the company. Therefore, we request the court to reject the claims of Jiang and others, and file a counterclaim to request the cancellation of the group purchase contract involved.

  The court of first instance held that qunar. com’s group purchase information was wrong in expression, and if the group purchaser bought the hotel check-in service with 18 yuan’s group purchase coupon, the payment and service were seriously unequal, which violated the principle of fairness.

  The court held that the prices of the 7-day chain hotels in Wuxi involved in the case were all above 100 yuan, and even the hotels with relatively simple facilities needed at least 29 yuan. According to the first-instance judgment, the court revoked the online sales contract reached by four people, including Jiang and Qunar.com, on hotel group purchase coupons, and rejected other claims. Jiang and other four people refused to accept the appeal.

  Qunar. com called consumers "cheating"

  When the second trial was held yesterday, Qunar.com said that after the price was found to be wrong, the website removed the related products. For some consumers who have already purchased, they will be allowed to continue to stay. "But when we inquired about the appellant’s information, we found that they were suspected of cheating, so we frozen the group purchase coupon and refunded it."

  The agent of Qunar.com said that the reason why it is suspected of cheating is because "they are all newly registered users on the day of purchase, and the time period for purchasing group purchase coupons is also the same, and the IP address of their Internet access is the IP address of the hotel."

  Jiang and others denied this statement. "I bought it when I thought it was cheap, and I didn’t consider so much." In addition, regarding Qunar.com’s unilateral freezing of group purchase coupons, Jiang and others said, "If the other party thinks that the contract can be revoked, it should be handled in accordance with the law, and the group purchase coupons cannot be frozen and refunded unilaterally. We believe that this behavior violates the relevant provisions of the contract law and is a breach of contract."

  In addition, there are some scattered buyers of the group purchase products involved, and Qunar.com has fulfilled these contracts normally. This differential treatment violates the appellant’s right to fair trade.

  Yesterday, the court did not pronounce a sentence in court.

BYD has made great efforts. Can the goal of 1.2 million vehicles be achieved in the three major car systems of Dynasty, Ocean and Warship?

The most outstanding performance of the domestic automobile market in 2021 is the explosive growth of new energy vehicles under the epidemic situation. In 2021, the total sales volume of new energy vehicles reached 3.52 million 1000 vehicles, up nearly 160% year-on-year, and the annual penetration rate reached 14.8%. Of course, when it comes to new energy, we have to mention BYD, a domestic new energy leader. Last year, the annual sales volume of new energy passenger cars reached 593,745, and the sales volume of all models exceeded 730,000.

BYD can achieve such sales. Jiang Ge believes that it relies on the support of core technologies such as blade batteries and DM-i super hybrid, as well as a rich product line as a carrier. Among them, the top three heroes include the Song family with an annual sales of 200,000 vehicles, the Qin family with 194,000 vehicles, and the Han family with 117,000 vehicles. In addition, there are the help of Tang, Yuan and E nets.

This year, BYD has set itself an annual target of 1.2 million sales. In addition to expanding production capacity, it will further improve its product line. What new cars are there? Can you achieve your goal? Let’s take a look at Brother Jiang.

A, dynasty series

1. BYD Yuan (parameter picture) PLUS

Aspect: cockpit with the theme of "sports and fitness"

Positioning the compact tidal running SUV, Yuan PLUS has officially started pre-sale in January, with a pre-sale price of 132,800 yuan-152,800 yuan, which is expected to be officially listed in the first quarter. It is reported that BYD Yuan PLUS will be the first to be listed in Australia on February 19th. At present, it has received 15,000 orders, which is quite explosive.

Compared with the old Yuan pro, Yuan PLUS adopts BYD’s latest family Dragon Face 3.0 design language, including wide chrome-plated decorative strips running through the front face, chrome-plated decorative plates on the C-pillar, chrome-plated LOGO decorative strips on the fender, penetrating taillights with wing design and other latest designs, which are more fashionable as a whole, and are on the same level as competing products such as Tucki Gi3 and GAC AION Y.

The proportion of the car body with short front and rear suspension and long wheelbase is 4455*1875*1615mm, and the wheelbase is 2720mm.

The interior is the biggest "bright spot" of Yuan PLUS. The overall design concept takes "exercise and fitness" as the theme, and the details, such as grip door handle, thrust electronic gear lever, treadmill handrail, dumbbell air outlet and so on, are highly characterized, and their eye-catching ability is called off the charts.

In terms of power, it is quite satisfactory. The maximum power of the motor is 150kW and the peak torque is 330N·m, but fortunately, the battery is BYD’s most famous blade battery, which provides 430km and 510km battery life. As far as the product strength is concerned, Yuan PLUS can still play well, but whether it can revive its glory may depend on whether its final pricing will be a surprise.

2. BYD Han

Aspect: the captain and power are enhanced, and the DM-i version is reproduced.

Compared with the current Han EV, the change of the new car is not great. The upper part of the front face is still closed, but the lower enclosure adopts a brand-new style, and the air inlet size is larger, and some fine adjustments have been made.

In terms of size, BYD Han has also been upgraded. The length of the car has been lengthened from the previous 4980mm to the new 4995mm, which has certain advantages compared with rivals such as Tesla Model 3 and Tucki P7.

In terms of power, BYD Han EV has strengthened the motor, and the single motor version has been upgraded from the current maximum power of 163kW to 180kW;; The maximum power of the dual-motor version is upgraded from 163/200kW to 180/200kW. It is reported that the acceleration time of the new Han EV dual-motor version is only 3.7 seconds.

In addition to the Han EV, the Han DM-i equipped with a 1.5T plug-in system also appeared on the declaration list. This Han DM-i is not much different from the previously declared models, and it also uses the dot matrix network. As can be seen from the application information, the new car will be equipped with red brake calipers.

In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 1.5T engine, an electric motor and a Ferrous lithium phosphate blade battery, and there will be two endurance versions with fuel consumption of 0.8L and 1.4L per 100 kilometers respectively. In terms of price, compared with DM models, the price of Han DM-i will be further reduced, and the estimated starting price can be less than 200,000.

3. BYD Tang

Aspect: Increased cruising range

At the end of last year, the 2022 BYD Tang EV completed the declaration of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Although it is only an annual redesigned model, the appearance of the new BYD Tang EV has changed a lot. In design, the new Tang EV abandons the "grille" design, and the EV tastes stronger.

In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with BYD DM-i hybrid system, adopting a hybrid system consisting of 1.5T+ motors and lithium iron phosphate batteries, in which the maximum power of the engine is 139 HP and the peak power of the motor is 160 kW.

Second, the ocean network series

Seals/seagulls/sea lions

Aspect: 60,000 yuan mini-car to 250,000 yuan SUV full coverage

The marine life series is mainly based on pure electric power created by E platform 3.0, focusing on selling points such as new face value, new coil efficiency, new intelligence and new experience. Among them, BYD Seal is positioning a medium-sized pure electric car, or benchmarking Tesla Model 3, which is expected to be officially unveiled in the first quarter. Seals are the second model of marine life series after dolphins, and the estimated price will be at the level of 200,000.

In addition to seals, BYD Ocean Series will also have two new cars, Seagull and Sea Lion, which will also be released in the second and third quarters of this year. Among them, Seagull locates A00-class miniature electric vehicles, and the competing products will be cars such as Wuling Hongguang MINI EV and Chery QQ ice cream, and the estimated starting price is about 60,000 yuan.

Chery QQ ice cream

The sea lion is positioned as a medium-sized pure electric SUV, with an estimated starting price of 200,000, and competitors will target Tesla Model Y.. It is reported that this new car will have the opportunity to carry lidar, which is expected to exceed 700km in terms of battery life.

Third, the warship series

Cruiser 05/ destroyer 07/ landing ship

Aspect: brand-new cars, SUVs and MPVs

The warship series is mainly powered by DM-i, and the main selling points are fast, economical, quiet, smooth and green. According to the plan previously announced by BYD officials, the "warship" series of BYD’s "Ocean Net" will launch "destroyers" for positioning cars, "cruisers" for positioning SUV models and "landing ships" for positioning MPV models.

At present, the destroyer 05 has been unveiled, and its positioning is close to that of Qin PLUS. It is expected to be officially launched in the first quarter, offering two cruising ranges of 55km and 120km, of which the 120 km version will also be equipped with fast charging technology, and the price is expected to be between 120,000 and 150,000 yuan.

In addition to destroyer 05, it is reported that BYD will also release destroyer 07 in the fourth quarter of this year, which is close to Han. Judging from the two models of destroyers, the warship series is a bit like a "two-car strategy" with the dynasty series.

The warship series will also launch two SUVs of cruisers, which are expected to be sister models of Song PLUS and Tang. In addition, according to the data, there is also an MPV model named Landing Ship in the warship series, which is expected to be listed in the third quarter of this year and will be compared with the GL8 of Buick. At that time, the models of BYD Ocean Network will be more abundant than the current dynasty series.

In addition, according to the previous news, BYD will also release a high-end model this year with a price range of 500,000-800,000 yuan, and the new car will be classified under a brand-new high-end brand.

Write it at the end

The blade battery completes the distribution, the super hybrid DM-i continues to exert its strength, and BYD’s stamina is still full. Under such a rising trend, BYD’s main task this year is to complete the full roll-out of its product line. At that time, do you think BYD has the opportunity to catch up with Geely, Chang ‘an and Great Wall in total sales through new energy products? Welcome to pay attention to "car territory without borders", leave a message in the comment area below and share your views on BYD.

Where does Volvo come from to maintain "zero casualties" in traffic safety in the electrified era?

[EV Vision Original] If the concept of environmental protection has been integrated into the spiritual blood of Northern Europe, then the synonym of safety has also been integrated into Volvo’s brand gene.

Throughout the development of Volvo, you will find that in some historical nodes, there are security considerations. In 1944, the first one-piece cage body was invented, and in 1959, the three-point seat belt was invented. In that era when fuel vehicles dominated the world, Volvo created a new definition of safety.

Swedish engineer Nils Bohlin invented the V-type three-point seat belt in 1959.

So, when electrification has taken over the throne of fuel vehicles and is ready to unify the world, is Volvo ready for safety?

Yes, it did.

I remember once, Volvo put forward the vision of "zero casualties", which was successfully realized in 2020. Although this is a chapter that can’t be surpassed in the era of fuel vehicles, in the face of the advent of electrification today, Volvo has also begun its own evolution and learning, especially intelligence and networking, and integrated its corresponding technologies into the whole vehicle to meet the new needs of users for automobiles. And the assisted driving has become an important foundation of this development.

In our knowledge, some car companies are still promoting their own L2-assisted driving system. However, as early as 2012, Volvo launched a mass-produced Pilot Assist pilot system with L2 autopilot function, which means that Volvo has once again advanced its deployment in this field and once again led the technological pace of industry development.

So, how will Volvo "lead" in the future?

With regard to autonomous driving, Volvo’s advanced technology route can be said to be very unique. It does not follow the L1-L5 classification method commonly used in the industry, but adopts three stages: "Drive Pilot" (the driver is dominant), "Cruise Pilot" (advanced assisted driving under system monitoring) and "Ride Pilot" (without driver monitoring). This is nothing more than the support of our own technical strength, so we have such courage.

For future models, Volvo will be equipped with a central computing platform composed of NVIDIA DRIVE Orin chips in terms of hardware. The data shows that the computing power of a single Orion-X chip can reach 254TOPS, which means that it can calculate 254 trillion times per second, which is 3.5 times that of Tesla HW3.0. At the same time, Volvo is also cooperating with Luminar, the top technology company in Silicon Valley. All Volvo cars will be equipped with 300-line +1550nm Iris second-generation vehicle-class lidar.

As a lidar manufacturer from the United States, the lidar produced by Luminar uses a laser source of 1550nm. At present, there are two kinds of lidar wavelengths on the market: 905nm and 1550 nm. Among them, the laser radar with wavelength of 905nm uses silicon-based photodetector as the emission source, which has the advantages of low cost and mature technology. However, it also has the disadvantage that the 905nm laser source is harmful to human eyes. Although it belongs to the invisible light source, under a certain energy, the laser of this wavelength will burn the retina when it irradiates human eyes, so when it is used as a laser radar emitter, the power should be reduced, so its ability to resist weather interference is weak and its penetration into rain and fog is insufficient.

The 1550 nm laser radar uses InGaAs near infrared detector as the emission source, and its laser is far away from the visible spectrum absorbed by human eyes. Compared with the 905 nm laser, the 1550 nm laser with the same power is 40 times safer for human eyes, so it has higher safety. Therefore, it can run at full power and has high penetration for extreme weather environment.

The data shows that Luminar lidar has a maximum detection range of 600m, and can detect about 10% low reflectivity targets within a distance of 250m, such as black cars at night and tires with the lowest reflectivity on the road, which is of great help to improve driving safety. And the radar itself also supports OTA upgrade, which can constantly update iterations.

In addition, it can also achieve a viewing angle of 120 horizontally and 26 vertically without rotating the radar, and can obtain high-resolution data at any position in the vertical direction in real time by dynamically changing the scanning mode.

In addition, Volvo’s future models will be equipped with a multi-sensor fusion sensing scheme consisting of 5 millimeter-wave radars, 8 cameras and 16 ultrasonic sensors, which improves the fault tolerance rate of the autonomous driving algorithm and greatly improves the safety factor.

In terms of software architecture, Volvo is one of the few automobile manufacturers with complete capability of independent research and development of ADAS. Except perception, everything from perception fusion, decision-making to control is self-developed. At the same time, Zenseact, a Volvo autopilot software development company, can provide a full stack of autopilot software. In addition to reaching a global strategic cooperation with the autopilot giant Waymo, it also cooperated with companies such as UBER to jointly accelerate the development of safe and stable autopilot algorithm logic.

In addition to intelligent driving, passive safety is still Volvo’s core DNA.

When the vehicle ushers in the electrification transformation, the structural safety of the vehicle itself is a little more than that of the traditional fuel vehicle. The first thing to bear the brunt of this is battery safety.

According to previous reports, Volvo Cars announced in June that it would cooperate with Northvolt to develop and produce sustainable battery products. The battery product will be produced with 100% renewable energy, and its energy density is expected to exceed 1000 Wh/L.. So, with such a high energy density battery, how should Volvo prevent it?

In view of the safety of high energy density batteries, Volvo has adopted six technical supports, namely, low heat conduction source blocking technology, barrier-free heat removal technology, intelligent cooling technology, millisecond fast power off technology, positive pressure blocking technology and automatic early warning technology, and their main duties are to block the thermal runaway of batteries to ensure the life safety of people in the car.

Not only that, Volvo will test each battery provided by the supplier separately instead of sampling to ensure reliability. According to the test, the battery pack carried on the whole vehicle can be soaked in more than 1m water depth for many hours and still be intact.

Previously, Volvo had put a Volvo XC40 pure electric version directly into a large glass pool with a water depth of 1.7m. After soaking for 4 minutes, the Volvo XC40 pure electric version can still be driven out smoothly, and the battery-controlled motors are in normal working condition. And after 12 hours of continuous immersion, Volvo XC40 pure electric battery pack still has no water, no leakage and no thermal runaway. It can be seen that Volvo’s battery protection level far exceeds the IP67 standard, so there is no doubt about Volvo’s battery safety.

In addition to waterproof, Volvo has also achieved all-round design and optimization in terms of battery collision safety. Generally speaking, when a pure electric vehicle collides, the battery will be extruded and deformed due to external force, which will eventually lead to rupture and short circuit, and lead to severe fire.

Volvo, on the other hand, has developed fire prevention and temperature control technology for battery packs, so that enough evacuation time can be reserved for drivers and passengers. Not only that, because the power battery occupies most of the chassis area, it puts forward new requirements for structure and energy absorption design.

Volvo has done a good job in protecting the battery pack structure from the structural design of the battery pack. In the collision test in Europe, the battery pack can remain intact and not deformed after the side collision, so as to ensure that the battery cells and circuits are protected from being squeezed and damaged in the vehicle accident, greatly reducing the accident risk and improving the safety of the vehicle.

Perhaps it has been brought to the extreme in terms of safety, but is Volvo’s label limited to this? The answer is: no.

Nowadays, the advanced level of intelligent cockpit has become the best test to show the real strength of a car company in intelligent technology. For future products, Volvo will be equipped with a self-developed integrated in-vehicle system-"Volvo S.OS", and its operating systems include Android Automotive OS, QNX, AUTOSAR and Linux.

This system can realize faster and more flexible function development and upgrade. Just like our smart phones, functions and applications, including service experience, can be upgraded remotely online through OTA.

In addition, at this year’s CES show, Volvo announced its cooperation with Qualcomm. In the future, Volvo pure electric SUV will use Qualcomm Snapdragon digital cockpit platform as the high computing power center, which can meet the higher requirements in image, audio and artificial intelligence, and has the advantage of ultra-low power consumption. Thanks to the new computing platform, the running speed of Volvo Car’s next-generation in-vehicle infotainment system will be increased by 2 times and the image generation speed will be increased by 10 times.

Finally, Volvo recently announced a cooperation with Epic Games, a game company, to apply Unreal Engine, a game development engine of Epic, to the brand-new all-electric flagship model of the next-generation Volvo car, so as to provide a more realistic visual effect for the digital cockpit through photo-level visualization technology and meet the new breakthrough of drivers and passengers in senses.

Write it at the end

As a car company that has developed for 95 years, the word safety is deeply rooted in Volvo’s brand gene, which is more important to consumers than fuel consumption and performance. With the advent of electrification, Volvo continues to lead the safety benchmark in the electrical age through its own vision and foresight, and as consumers, we continue to give Volvo such confidence and continue the concept of "zero casualties" to the end. We will wait and see.
