　　I. Price trend

　　According to the commodity analysis system of the business community, the price of light soda ash fell this week. As of September 27th, the average market price of soda ash was 1,614 yuan/ton, down by 46 yuan/ton compared with the price of 1,660 yuan/ton at the beginning of the week, down by 2.77% and down by 10.83% compared with the beginning of the month.

　　Second, the market analysis

　　According to the commodity analysis system of the business community, the soda ash market as a whole was weak this week. At the supply end, the overhaul enterprise equipment resumed operation, the utilization rate of soda ash capacity was improved, the supply of market goods increased, the inventory pressure of manufacturers was greater, and the focus of soda ash transaction continued to move down; On the demand side, the downstream fell first and then stabilized, and the demand for soda ash was limited. Before the holiday, the downstream replenished on demand, some soda ash enterprises shipped, and the price of soda ash in some areas increased. On September 27th, the price of soda ash in East China increased slightly, and the mainstream market price of light soda ash was about 1430-1600 yuan/ton. The price of soda ash in central China has increased slightly, and the mainstream market price of light soda ash is about 1350-1550 yuan/ton.

　　Demand: According to the commodity analysis system of the business company, the price of glass fell first and then stabilized. As of September 27th, the average market price was 13.45 yuan/square meter, which was 0.74% lower than the average market price of 13.55 yuan/square meter at the beginning of the week. The glass market started to decline, but the overall situation was still weak, with limited inventory reduction. Downstream purchases and purchases were followed up as needed, and glass prices were weak.

　　The market outlook predicts that at present, the utilization rate of domestic soda ash capacity is high, the inventory pressure of spot soda plants is high, the downstream glass industry is temporarily stable, the demand support is still limited, the soda ash market is insufficient, and the atmosphere in the venue is cautious. It is expected that soda ash will be sorted out in the short term, depending on the downstream market demand.

　　editorial comment/note

　　Since the emergence of "professional counterfeiters", this group has been controversial. It is undeniable that "professional counterfeiters" have played a positive role in promoting market purification and establishing consumers’ awareness of rights protection. However, when some of them are no longer aiming at solving consumer disputes, but demanding high compensation, or even falsifying evidence to extort money from businesses and using malicious complaints to report for their own profit, "counterfeiting" has changed its flavor.

　　"Counterfeiting" has become a "fake fight", which obviously deviates from the original intention of legislation and the original intention of protecting consumers. On the contrary, the real problem of consumer rights protection cannot be solved. In just three months, it involved cracking down on "malicious reporting of illegal profit-making behavior" and "taking ‘ Counterfeiting ’ The central document of the name of extortion was issued twice. At the legislative level, all localities have also strengthened the revision of relevant legal provisions and resolutely said no to extortion under the banner of "safeguarding rights."

　　Li Hua (pseudonym), the owner of a silk scarf dealer in Changchun, wanted to compromise and spend money when he was asked for compensation by a "professional counterfeiter" with a silk scarf material appraisal report. However, not long ago, he approached the Changchun Consumers Association for consultation, only to realize that he could first compare the report issued by the claimant with the quality inspection report of the goods themselves.

　　It was discovered by this comparison that the silk scarves inspected by the claimant were simply "crowned with pride" and the goods were completely different. Li Hua immediately reported the case and lamented that he "successfully escaped a robbery."

　　Recently, a survey by the Workers Daily reporter found that some people are actually making "professional claims" for illegal profits in the name of "professional counterfeiting". Its purpose is not to crack down on counterfeiting and protect consumer rights, but to demand high compensation, create a large number of malicious reports, and repeatedly extort money from businesses.

　　Change the bag, blackmail and pester the lawsuit, and "fake" becomes "fake"

　　Zhong Ping, secretary-general of Changchun Consumers Association, still remembers that more than ten years ago, a gentle and articulate complainant came to Changchun Consumers Association, reflecting that the food he bought in a supermarket violated the regulations and was labeled as health care function, and wanted to claim compensation.

　　After exchanging professional knowledge with him, the complainant said, "I have traveled a lot in Northeast China, as far as you know", and Zhong Ping realized that she had met a "professional counterfeiter". At that time, Zhong Ping was deeply impressed by this gentle and professional complainant with reasonable demands.

　　"At that time, I quite agree with the emergence of these people. Because they are very professional, their behavior can play a positive role in purifying the market, and the other is to urge our relevant staff to improve their business ability and quality. " Zhong Ping said.

　　"On our complaint platform, many people directly say that they are professional counterfeiters, and the scope of complaints is getting wider and wider." Zhong Ping said, "At first, most of them were aimed at food. Later, communication services, clothes, furniture and other commodities became the targets of counterfeiting, and many of them claimed for details such as product descriptions and advertising words."

　　After handling many cases, Zhong Ping gradually discovered that many "professional counterfeiters" have turned "counterfeiting" into fraud.

　　"Some people report maliciously, not for the purpose of purifying the market, but for asking merchants to take money privately, implement threats, false evaluations or even blackmail, falsify evidence and make illegal profits." Zhong Ping told reporters that she had been complained to the higher authorities by a very strong "professional counterfeiter". Once such cases were not handled as expected, they would repeatedly complain and importune.

　　The shopkeeper engaged in cross-border e-commerce in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province was threatened to report by a mother and son from Shanghai on the grounds of defective product labels, and had to "pay tribute" to 600 yuan’s goods every month for two consecutive years, until they were sentenced for extortion; A Taobao shop owner was targeted by "professional counterfeiters" for using exaggerated slogans and had to pay 2,000 yuan for recognition; The QQ group claiming for counterfeiting claims that it only needs 30 yuan to "learn from the teacher" to obtain the "claim tips" … …

　　According to the recent symposium on professional claim behavior, which was jointly attended by the market supervision department, China Consumers Association and enterprise representatives, in recent years, the number of malicious complaints and reports of "professional claim" initiated in the name of "counterfeiting" and "safeguarding rights" has exceeded 1 million every year.

　　In the court’s judgment, professional counterfeiters win or lose differently.

　　The reporter used "professional counterfeiting" as the key word in China’s refereeing documents online, and retrieved 1,382 refereeing documents this year, which was significantly lower than 3,348 last year. In many documents with a relatively recent date, the counterfeiters won or lost in court judgments, and most of them were sentenced to return the goods because of the real problems of the goods, and the multiple compensation claims were not supported.

　　In July 2018, the post-90s "professional counterfeiter" Han bought 12 bottles of imported brand red wine in a wholesale supermarket in Qingdao twice, paid 20,160 yuan for the wine, and filmed the whole purchase process. Subsequently, Han sued the supermarket to the court of the jurisdiction on the grounds that the imported red wine labels sold by the supermarket did not meet the national standards, requesting an order to return the purchase price and paying 10 times compensation of 201,600 yuan.

　　During the trial, the four effective judgments submitted by the defendant supermarket showed that Han had sued several different defendants at the same time in the Xiangzhou District People’s Court of Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province, and all of them demanded the defendants to refund the purchase price and pay 10 times the compensation on the grounds that the purchased products did not have Chinese labels. At the same time, the forms of evidence submitted by Han in several cases are basically the same. According to statistics, there are more than 50 cases in this batch, involving more than 4 million yuan.

　　The court of first instance ruled that the supermarket returned the payment of 20,160 yuan to Han, but did not support his claim of 10 times. Han refused to accept it and appealed to the Qingdao Intermediate People’s Court. The final judgment of Qingdao Intermediate People’s Court was changed: the supermarket returned the payment of 20,160 yuan to Han, and paid him compensation of 201,600 yuan, and Han returned the red wine.

　　"Professional counterfeiters" are not so lucky.

　　Xingmou has successively purchased 75 electric vehicles with a certain brand exceeding the standard, and commissioned the research institute to conduct testing. The results show that many items of electric vehicles are unqualified. Since 2017, Xing has gone through 17 court sessions, rulings and judgments, sued the court for a return and was punished with "one loses three". The Court of Final Appeal held that Xing, as a professional counterfeiter, did not buy or use goods or receive services for his daily needs, and was not a consumer as stipulated by law, so he did not support his claim of triple compensation.

　　Defining the red line is the key between legality and illegality.

　　"It’s a cold winter in the spring … … I suggest that all colleagues who fight counterfeiting must follow the principles of legitimacy, necessity, rationality and legality. " In April this year, "anti-counterfeiting fighter" Wang Hai said at the fifth "315 Anti-counterfeiting Forum" held in Beijing.

　　Wang Yuqi, a lawyer of Guangdong Guanghe (Changchun) Law Firm, told the reporter that from the actual case, there is only a thin line between the legality and illegality of professional counterfeiting, and the attitude of judicial practice is becoming more and more cautious.

　　The reporter of Workers Daily found that in recent days, many courts have issued judgments against "professional claimants" under the banner of "defending rights" and "counterfeiting", which are actually extortion.

　　For example, a 90-year-old man in Longyan, Fujian used the absolute term "extreme words" defined by the advertising law to make malicious complaints and extortion against online shop sellers, and was sentenced to 1 year and 8 months in prison by the court and fined 15,000 yuan; Shanghai Changning District Court sentenced Wang, a "professional claimant", to three years and three months in prison and fined him … … According to media reports, not long ago, four provinces and cities, including Henan and Xiamen, listed "professional counterfeiting" for extortion and illegal profits as "eliminating evils".

　　"The urgent task is to explore effective methods on the basis of summarizing the characteristics and problems of professional claims, and clearly define the red line between legal claims for professional counterfeiting and extortion. Reasonable and legal professional counterfeiting should be supported, but extortion must be punished. " Wang Yuqi said.

　　"Judging from the complaints this year, professional anti-counterfeiting behavior has been significantly reduced." Zhong Ping suggested that while opposing and severely punishing illegal counterfeiting, relevant departments should also formulate attractive reward mechanisms for legitimate "professional counterfeiters", guide them to exercise their anti-counterfeiting rights in the right way, play their positive role, and unblock the combination. Only in this way can the root cause be cured.

　　Some netizens also said that professional anti-counterfeiting was born to meet the market demand, and it was the market that finally exercised the right of elimination. Enterprises don’t sell fakes, product quality passes, and business integrity, counterfeiters will gradually disappear.

　　[Autohome News] Before 2020, our Chinese brand’s medium/medium and large SUV products were still rare, and the market was almost monopolized by overseas brands. At that time, we were still very cautious about this market. Even if there were products, most of them showed brand perception and technology, and did not pursue market performance. However, the growth of our Chinese brands in the past two years has indeed made rapid progress, especially in the new energy market. Medium/medium and large SUVs have gradually become the mainstream. Not only is the market demand increasing day by day, but our products are also becoming more and more mature.

　　Recently, it has also become a period of product explosion in this market, including the new (|), the new Wenjie M7, Lynk & Co 08 EM-P and the new Xiaopeng G9 have been launched, and new players such as Zhiji LS6 are waiting for an opportunity. What is their market prospect? What is the sales policy now? Let’s go to the store again to find out.

◆　The new NIO EC6
Price range: 35.80-41 6,000
Product features: LiDAR upper body, appearance/configuration have been upgraded
Store location: direct sales model, there are many supermarket/store layouts. At present, there are 134 NIO centers, 286 NIO spaces, 304 NIO service centers and 58 NIO delivery centers globally

　　The new NIO EC6 was officially launched on September 15, with two versions priced at 358,000 (75kWh) and 416,000 (100kWh). It stands to reason that it is beyond our 300,000 car purchase budget, but after using the NIO BaaS battery rental plan, the price of both models is 288,000 (battery rental 980 yuan/month and 1680 yuan/month), just within the budget, plus a good heat, so we decided to add it to this car purchase survey.

　　The new EC6 has not been listed on the day of arrival, so there is only one.10,000 points for booking (deposit 5000 yuan)Other relevant policies are subject to those announced at the time of official listing. Detailed information can be found atClick here.Check, the delivery cycle is about 2 weeks. At that time, although the price of the new EC6 has not yet been released, the sales said that it is expected to be about 350,000, which is very close to the actual price. The order data is also relatively good. There are already more than 10 orders in the store, and one can be added every day on working days, and about 3 on weekends. The order is mainly for young people. Older users are also interested, but they have not placed an order. They still want to wait for the listing price to come out. Overall, the market prospect is relatively optimistic. It is worth mentioning that although the new EC6 has no discounts, there are no discounts in the storeES8 and ET7 have a small number of stock cars, you can get a discount of 10,000 yuan…

　　One of the main upgrades of the new EC6 is the appearance, and the other is the intelligent performance. The appearance aspect includes changing the appearance to a new design style, and at the same time provides 9 body colors to choose from. The interior will also provide 3 exclusive color schemes. It just so happens that the car on display adopts the Danxia red color scheme, which is very classy. In addition to intelligence, the new car is equipped with the latest banyan system and NOP + driving assistance. This time I came to the store just in time for the system upgrade, and I couldn’t actually experience it. However, friends who want to know more about the new car can also check our previous detailed experience videos.

　　The NIO EC6 was first launched in 2020, which can be regarded as a pioneer for Chinese brands to enter the medium-sized SUV market relatively early. At that time, it was also regarded as one of the strong competitors of Tesla Model Y. After the previous generation EC6 was launched, it achieved a monthly sales of 3,000 +, which is also a meritorious model that helped NIO achieve monthly sales of over 10,000 and successfully ranked among the top three new forces. With the launch of the new EC6, it can be regarded as the last piece of the puzzle of the NIO NT2.0 platform. It is bound to bear the burden of sales again. The future market performance is what we all look forward to.

◆　New Xiaopeng G9
Price range: 26.39-35 9,900 yuan
Product features: configuration adjustment, more people-friendly, more practical
Store location: mainly based on the direct sales model, but also developing the dealer model.Supermarkets are the main ones, and there are also departmental stores.

　　The new Xiaopeng G9 just listed on September 19, after the completion of the change, the new car has finally dropped to 300,000, a total of 5 models, the price range is 26.39-35 9,900 yuan. At the same time, you can also enjoy the air suspension time-limited 20% off, car color limit free, delivery gift package, replacement subsidy, intelligent upgrade and other subsidy policies, while there are points compensation and hardware upgrades for old owners and so on.

　　This time, the Xiaopeng G9 has been mainly adjusted for the configuration. For example, the Danao audio + 5D music cockpit is replaced with an optional configuration, and the standard Xiaopeng XOpera brand audio is equipped. In practice, this self-developed audio can also provide a good listening experience for front and rear passengers, which is completely sufficient for the vast majority of people. In addition, the car system still maintains a relatively high level, and the voice response is very sensitive, which has always been XPeng Motors’ expertise. Of course, in addition to the audio, the new Xiaopeng G9 has many details to adjust. For details, you can click here to view.

　　There is a new G9 570max model display in the store. This is also the configuration mainly promoted by Xiaopeng G9. The new G9 has not been listed when it arrives at the store.The deposit is 5,000 yuan, and delivery is expected to start in 1 month.In addition, sales representationThe old Xiaopeng G9 can have a discount of 10,000 yuanHowever, there are only a small number of existing cars, and they are not available when they are sold out. But users who come to the store are basically waiting for the launch of the new G9. After all, there was news at that time that the price of the new model would be cheaper, and the configuration adjustment would not be large.

　　Xiaopeng G9 was officially launched in September 2022 at the earliest, and it has been exactly one year. As the flagship product of XPeng Motors, although its intelligent driving and charging capabilities have been raised to a new height, the pricing of 30.99-46 9,900 yuan has not been recognized by the market. Except for the sales volume of 4,000 in December 2022, the average monthly sales volume in other months basically hovers around 1,000. After the launch of the new Xiaopeng G9, the price range will be greatly reduced. Can it be recognized by the market again?

◆　New Q Jie M7
Price range: 24.98-32 9,800 yuan
Product features: five-seat version, Huawei ADS 2.0 smart drive, all-aluminum chassis
Store location: Huawei direct sales are mainly in supermarkets, while Sailis direct sales are mainly in industrial park stores, and supermarkets have a wider layout

　　The new Q & J M7 was officially launched on September 12, with a total of 5 models and a price range of 24.98-32 9,800 yuan. Since the new car was pre-sold at the Chengdu Auto Show in August, the cumulative order exceeded 15,000 units within 24 hours of listing, and 2700 new orders were added on September 17, creating a new high for the brand’s single-day orders. It can be seen that whether in the supermarket Huawei store or the Q & J 4S store, the new Q & J M7 has become a well-deserved star product.

　　According to sales, the new M7 store can basically guarantee a daily increase of 2-3 orders, and can double on weekends, mainly young consumers, most of them choose 5-seat smart driving version (309,800), Huawei ADS 2.0 smart driving is still very attractive to young consumers, and the older ones will basically choose the rear drive version (5 rear drive version sold 249,800, 6 rear drive version sold 269,800 yuan). According to previous news, Huawei ADS 2.0 smart driving system is expected to be in the National Open City NCA in December, when it may usher in another wave of sales.

　　If you place an order before the first sales period on October 7, you can get a cash discount of 6,000 yuan, a matching fee of 12,000 yuan and a matching benefit of 15,000 yuan (choose one of three). In addition, there is a replacement subsidy of 15,000 yuan in the store, and the sales rights are still quite attractive. Although the new Q Jie M7 will be delivered when it is listed, if you place an order now, the delivery cycle will take about a month. It is worth mentioning that the new Q Jie M7 has a new 5-seat version with high comfort in the rear row, which is the most comfortable in this visit. In addition, Hongmeng Smart Cockpit 3.0 also has excellent performance. Except for the slightly slow automatic speech recognition (possibly due to signal problems in the exhibition hall), other performances are impeccable.

　　Wenjie M7 was first launched in July 2022. Under Huawei’s halo blessing, it achieved good market feedback in the early stage of listing. The highest monthly sales exceeded 5,000 units, but it fell sharply after 2023, with the average monthly sales falling to about 1,000 units. The new Wenjie M7 can be said to have been adjusted very timely and successful, especially at the moment when Huawei’s new mobile phones are released, the new M7 is also taking advantage of the momentum and has the potential to enter the first echelon.

◆ Lynk & Co 08 EM-P
Price range: 20.88-28 8,000 yuan
Product features: Meizu car machine, new design language/pure electric battery life 245km
Store location: dealer model, mostly industrial park stores, few supermarkets

　　Lynk & Co 08 ushered in the official listing on September 8. This time, a total of 5 models were launched, priced at 20.88-28 8,000 yuan. Through communication with sales staff, it was found that there are no other preferential policies in the store. For consumers who want to buy Lynk & Co 08, they can only refer to the official rights and interests released when they were listed. At present,Lynk & Co 08 all models can enjoy 9,000 yuan to enjoy the gold when placing an order. At the same time, you can also upgrade the Harmanka 23 speaker audio bag worth 10,000 yuan for free. The optional "Technology Pride Smart Enjoy Pack" can get 7,500 yuan for five years of NOA function service. In terms of replacement subsidy, you can enjoy a replacement/additional purchase subsidy of up to 6,000 yuan. In addition, you can also get 300 yuan worth of Meizu Mall 30,000 points.

　　According to Geely’s official sales figures, the Lynk & Co brand sold 18,696 units in August, an increase of about 9% month-on-month and an increase of about 24% year-on-year. According to previous data, less than a week after the new car opened for pre-sale on August 8, the order has exceeded 10,000 units. On the same day, I communicated with the staff in the Beijing store and learned that since the official listing of Lynk & Co 08 as of September 15, the current in-store sales have exceeded 100 units. In this way, this store alone has an average of more than 10 orders per day. It seems that the popularity of new cars is still very high. During our viewing, there are staff who are explaining the functions of the car system to users. It can be seen that users are still very concerned about the intelligent configuration of vehicles.

　　The new car uses the latest LYNK Flyme Auto Meizu car system. The sales staff in the store said that it has the same level of fluency as the mobile phone, and the actual experience is really good. Our experience of zoom navigation, one-handed sliding interface, switching between different interfaces and other conventional operations did not find any cards or slow responses during the process. Basically, we can realize finger operation where to hit, and the response is very fast. In addition, we also experienced the automatic speech recognition function of the car. Lynk & Co 08 can only support voice conversations in a single area. When the main driver issues a voice command, the co-pilot immediately sends out a voice command that cannot be recognized. In this regard, we can compare the M7, which can support continuous dialogue in different zones and increase the convenience of continuous operation for different passengers in the car. But for the usage habits of different users, we can’t give absolute good or bad evaluations.

　　In addition to the function of the car, when we learned that the Harmanka stereo can be replaced for free, we immediately carried out the experience, which does continue the consistent characteristics of its brand, with excellent sound resolution. In addition, we hope to give users a certain reference in the car purchase experience. Looking back at our car store this time, the overall scale is relatively large, and different models have cars on display. There are also a small number of official used cars in the store. The service attitude of the sales staff in the store and the patient explanation provided us with a good car viewing experience.

◆ Zhiji LS6
Pre-sale price range: 23- 300,000 yuan
Product features: DIY personalized dress-up/technology cockpit design, GPT large modelgo online
Store location: direct sales model, mostly supermarket stores, industrial park stores are rare

　　Zhiji LS6 has opened pre-sale at the previous Chengdu Auto Show, and the pre-sale price range is 23-300,000 yuan.The new car plans to show the car to the store on September 22. By inquiring about the sales in the store, it is expected that the official price will be maintained within 300,000 yuan, and it will be officially listed and delivered in October. At present, there are no additional preferential policies in the store, and it is still based on official rights and interests. At present, the preferential activities that provide 2,000 yuan of intention gold to 5,000 car purchases also include 10,000 yuan of optional funds. For L7/LS7 owners, they can enjoy another 10,000 yuan discount.Since the pre-sale started at the end of August, as of the day of the survey on September 15,The national order volume of Zhiji LS6 has reached 15,000 units.

　　The new car offers a total of 7 body colors. According to the store, the current main colors are brown, cyan and pink. Obviously, pink bodies are more popular with female consumers. Interestingly, although we didn’t see the real car, the in-store sales explained to us a variety of personalized gameplay of Zhiji LS6, including DIY replacement of different colors of rim decoration, side skirt trim and rear spoiler trim and so on.

　　Since there are no show cars in the store at present, we did not experience the actual operation of the car and machine system this time. However, in the store we experienced the car and machine of Zhiji L7 and the voice control system. The overall recognition speed needs to be improved compared with other vehicles of the same class. Looking forward to LS6’s improvement in this regard. The Zhiji car we investigated this time is a store located in a large shopping mall. The store decoration style is similar to the reduced version of the car show booth, located in the central lobby area of the mall. The service attitude of the staff in the store and the professional performance of the product are acceptable.　

Editor’s comment:

　　This time we are mainly limited to about 300,000 of new products to the store survey, but in the domestic new energy market, of course, there are many BYD, Tengshi and ideal brands have very good products have been affirmed by consumers. An obvious feeling is that compared with the previous store survey by price, preferential and other stimulus policies, this survey we are more impressed by the product force.

　　They are not only trying their best to meet the harsh conditions of consumers "both want, want, and want", but also form brand differences through details and bring some unexpected joy. So if you buy a car 300,000 budget, what aspects do you value most and which model will you choose? Which new car market conditions do you want to see? You are welcome to leave a message in the comment area, our car purchase investigation team is always ready. (Text/Autohome Guo Chen, Yao Yu)

On September 21, the long-rumored NIO phone finally appeared. At the NIO IN 2023 NIO Innovation and Technology Day, founder Li Bin officially released the flagship smartphone NIO Phone to the outside world.

At the beginning of the mobile phone launch session, Li Bin responded to the long-curious question of the outside world to everyone present – why does NIO make mobile phones?

"This is definitely not because mobile phone companies are building cars, nor is it because NIO doesn’t make money from cars now, but relies on mobile phones to make profits," Li Bin said. "Our reason is actually very simple and well-considered – because users need a mobile phone that is seamlessly connected to NIO, and we want to make NIO products better."

He showed how the phone can be seamlessly integrated into the car, both in terms of hardware and software.

First of all, the hardware configuration of the NIO Phone is basically the same as the flagship mobile phone on the market. In terms of chips, the phone is equipped with Qualcomm’s second-generation Snapdragon 8 leading version. The storage solution is based on 12GB + 512GB, and the maximum optional 16GB + 1T. It is equipped with a 6.81-inch curved screen with 2K resolution and supports a variable refresh rate of 1-120Hz. In terms of images, its main camera, ultra-wide-angle and periscope telephoto are all 50 million pixels. In terms of battery life, the NIO Phone is equipped with a 5200mAh battery and supports 66W wired and 50W wireless flash charging. At the same time, the special project matches the NIO wireless car charging.

In terms of appearance design, NIO Phone refers to the skyline elements of the NIO brand, using nano-microcrystalline ceramics and environmentally friendly leather stitching on the material. In addition, a special version of EPedition has been launched, with red elements interspersed in the fuselage, which is different from the ordinary version in design language.

As an important medium for human-vehicle interaction, NIO has injected many software-level interaction shortcuts into NIO Phone.

According to reports, the NIO Phone integrates mobile phones and smart electric vehicles through NIO Link NIO panoramic interconnection technology. The phone is equipped with UWB ultra-wideband technology, which can replace car keys and support unlocking without electricity within 48 hours.

On the left side of the fuselage, NIO Phone sets a NIO Link car control key, which can be just a click away 30 driver interconnection functions, including quick view of vehicle status, parking position, complete vehicle unlocking lock, window lift, trunk opening, air conditioning remote adjustment, etc., in the case of mobile phone without network, it can also realize unlocking, flashing horn, vehicle summoning, remote parking and other functions.

In terms of in-car control, Li Bin mentioned that the NIO Phone can be combined with in-car sensors to identify the user’s location and present a car control card interface with different functions based on the driver’s seat, passenger seat, or rear seat.

Li Bin believes that this reflects the original intention of NIO Phone’s design. "In addition to these functions that can be perceived more quickly, it is more about the seamless information flow and relay at the bottom of the software."

For example, NIO Phone has a more detailed understanding of human-vehicle interaction, such as the navigation route relay, which allows users to set a destination and choose a driving route on their mobile phone. After getting on the bus, it will automatically switch to the car-side navigation, and there is no need to perform additional operations on the car. For example, the navigation clipboard relay can automatically pop up and push on the car’s central control screen according to the location text copied by the user on the mobile phone, and the user can enter the navigation after clicking. It should be pointed out that these operations will not go to the cloud, ensuring the privacy and security of user data.

The Inter-App communications application of the mobile phone and the smart cockpit is the key breakthrough direction of this mobile phone. In addition to the aforementioned functions, the NIO Phone currently also has a panoramic application function, namely "Sky Window". After this function is turned on, a separate phone will run on the central control screen of the vehicle, supporting the parallel operation of the central control screen and the mobile phone dual applications. "Windows is not a simple screen projection, these two screens can run different programs in parallel, which is very different," Li Bin said.

For business scenarios, when users use the super conference, they can automatically transfer to the car after boarding the car, and can also call the in-car hardware (such as cameras). In terms of entertainment scenarios, NIO Link games can also be synchronized to the central control large screen to play.

For more systematic privacy and security issues, NIO said that the NIO Phone’s NIO self-developed SkyUI system provides 0 system advertisements, 0 commercial pre-installation, and only local processing of sensitive data. On cloud data protection, NIO Phone adopts multi-key encryption protection, and data and keys are stored separately.

　　After the merger of Uber China and the completion of the local online ride-hailing management plan, Didi began to make major adjustments to the pricing method.

　　Surging News (www.thepaper.cn) learned that starting from August 18, Didi Chuxing platform implemented separate pricing for drivers and passengers.20% of each order charged by the driver before cancellation, 0.5 yuan per order, plus 1.77% management fee.

　　Taking Beijing as an example, the order is driven for 10 kilometers and 20 minutes. Before the adjustment, the actual income of the owner = (2 * 10 + 0.5 * 20) * 80% = 24 yuan; after the adjustment, the actual income of the owner = (1.8 * 10 + 0.4 * 20) * 100% = 26 yuan.

　　Didi said that after this adjustment, the income of car owners has not changed compared with before. The income of car owners in some cities will also increase with the separation of drivers and passengers, which can increase by about 10% -18%.

　　The adjustment of Didi’s pricing method this time is mainly aimed at the driver side, with little impact on the passenger side.

　　It is reported that after the driver and passenger are priced separately, the basic fare (km + duration + night fee), other fees, and dynamic price adjustment fees will be 100% owned by the owner. The owner does not need to make any changes in the withdrawal operation, which is the same as before.

　　Didi told Surging News that the purpose of making this pricing adjustment is very simple. First, after the division of pricing,Owners can see their income more intuitively, and the details of their income become clearer. Second, owners can also calculate their income directly through the pricing rules on the owner’s side, which is simple and clear.Didi said that after the adjustment of the pricing method, the income of car owners will also be more stable and will not be affected by fluctuations in the passenger side.

　　As for why they chose to make this pricing adjustment at this time, Didi said that after Didi merged with Uber China, the media reported a large number of Didi price increases (Didi said it was just a normal price dynamic adjustment, and there was no price increase), which confused Didi drivers about the pricing method. Many drivers expressed their desire for a more transparent pricing method to Didi Chuxing.

　　After communicating with a number of Didi drivers in Shanghai recently, Surging News found that there has been a recent phenomenon of Didi drivers leaving the platform. Drivers said that the current subsidy for drivers has decreased compared to before.

　　Zhu Wei, deputy director of the Communication Law Research Center of China University of Political Science and Law and an expert member of the Sharing Economy Working Committee of the Internet Association of China, told The Paper.The adjustment of the pricing method made by Didi further illustrates the difference between online car-hailing and traditional taxis. It is not a disguised form of money or a tap, but a manifestation of the sharing economy.This also reflects the requirements of the "differentiated operation" of the new policy on special cars, not only for passengers and owners, but also for the difference in revenue sharing. This will force taxi reform.

　　An insider of Volkswagen Chuxing (a ride-hailing platform owned by the mass transportation group) told The Paper that from the recent frequent actions of Didi, including price increases, reduced driver subsidies, and this time drivers charging a fixed proportion, it can be seen that Didi is under increasing pressure in terms of profitability and is working hard to make changes and postures to give confidence to the capital.

　　The aforementioned Volkswagen insider also said that in the long run, Didi will surely generate profits on the driver and passenger side.

　　It is reported that the new pricing method of Didi Chuxing has been launched in Beijing, Shanghai and other cities, and will be gradually rolled out across the board in the future.

As we all know, there have been many revelations about the iPhone 16 series long before the release of the iPhone 15 series. In line with the principle of "bold assumptions, careful verification", we will still learn about predictions or revelations about new models to see what new things Apple may do next year.

Recently, Haitong International Securities analyst Jeff Pu revealed some details about the iPhone 16 Pro. He introduced,The device will feature a faster 5G modem, Wi-Fi 7, and a new ultra-wide-angle lens at the rear.

In a note to investors, Jeff Pu based his predictions for the iPhone 16 series on his sources in Apple’s supply chain.

He revealed that the size of the new iPhone will be 0.2 inches larger than the current 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches, that is, the standard version iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro will increase to 6.3 inches, and the larger iPhone 16 Plus and Pro Max models will become 6.9 inches – In contrast, Huawei Mate 60 Pro is 6.82 inches in size.

Coincidentally, Tianfeng International industry analyst Guo Mingxuan and DSCC CEO Ross Young have reported that iPhone 16 series will be larger in size.

And thanks to the larger fuselage size,Apple will be able to carry the same quadruple prism periscope head as the iPhone 15 Pro Max on the relatively small iPhone 16 Pro model, and will finally support 5x optical zoom.

Jeff Pu emphasized that both the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max will feature 12 million-pixel quadrilateral prism periscope heads for better zoom.

But in this way, the more widely applicable triple telephoto seems to be gone. If Apple still maintains the 3-lens module, the lack of 3x optical telephoto becomes a loss.

Jeff Pu said in the report that Apple plans to upgrade the super wide-angle lens for the Pro series models, and this lens has not been moved since iPhone 13 Pro.

The ultra-wide-angle lens on the iPhone 16 Pro series will use 48 million pixel sensor, a huge leap over the current 12 million pixels. Better ultra-wide-angle quality can also improve the utilization rate of ultra-wide angle to some extent.

Apple’s A-series chips have changed this year, and the appearance of the A17 Pro has changed the next naming rules. Not surprisingly, the iPhone 16 Pro will be equipped with a new A18 Pro chip, built on the same 3nm process as the A17 Pro. The memory is still estimated to be 8GB.

It is worth noting that iPhone 16 Pro changes in terms of connectivity, whether it is Wi-Fi or 5G, iPhone 16 Pro will be upgraded. Jeff Pu speculates that the new iPhone will be equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon X75 modem, which can achieve 5G download speeds of up to 7.5 Gbps.

While the iPhone 15 Pro was the first to introduce support for WiFi 6E, next year’s iPhone Pro will likely feature WiFi 7. The latest Wi-Fi standard has speeds of up to 46 Gbps, four times that of WiFi 6.

But support is support. If you want to enjoy the speed of WiFi 7, you also need the corresponding network speed and router, and WiFi 6 routers are not yet popular… I can only say that in the future, it is no problem to use the mobile phone for two more years.

Jeff Pu also predicted the standard iPhone 16. He said that the iPhone 16 will still use a dual-camera module, and the ultra-wide-angle lens will retain 12 million pixel sensor, but will not support macro function.

iPhone 16 standard model should be the A17 didn’t run, after all, to pull the gap with the A17 Pro. The good news is that the memory is 8GB, but the 5G modem will not be upgraded. In terms of connectivity, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are also finer – they will support WiFi 6E, not WiFi 7.

The above information is an early reference, Apple is expected to launch iPhone 16 series in September next year, the future we will continue to pay attention to Apple and the new iPhone.

Apple launches a new iPhone every year, and we haven’t seen a refreshing update on the iPhone in years – oh, the last one was called "Dynamic Island". Many users and fans of competing products expressed dissatisfaction and ridicule at these small fixes.

Apple does not tweak new iPhone every year, but it does upgrade. In a recent interview with Brut., Apple CEO Tim Cook answered the question "Is it necessary to launch a new iPhone every year?"

"I think it’s a great thing to have a iPhone every year for people who want it," he said. Apple promotes the practice of users trading in old phones for new ones. So if the phone still works, Apple resells it (recycles it).

If it doesn’t work, Apple has a way to disassemble it and recycle the material to make new iPhone. This is also in line with Apple’s environmental values, although the idea of releasing iPhone annually seems to contradict environmental sensitivity.

But Cook believes that Apple is committed to maximizing the value of older iPhone. iPhone 13 Pro series is still the most worth buying iPhone model in the past 5 years, if iPhone 16 Pro series still has no upgrades, then I may still retain that view.

"Gold nine silver ten" is the peak season of the traditional car market. According to the data released by the Passenger Federation, the sales of new energy passenger vehicles in September increased by 23.0% year-on-year. The AITO Wenjie new M7, which has been listed for only a month, is undoubtedly the new favorite of the market. According to the official, Dading has broken through 60,000 units. While sales are hot, it also puts forward higher requirements for delivery. It is reported that in order to fully ensure the high-quality and fast delivery of the AITO Wenjie new M7, Sailis Automobile’s joint supply chain has invested 1 billion yuan and added more than 20,000 manpower.

Whether the supply chain can be effectively pulled and managed is the key to ensuring large-scale delivery and high-quality product delivery. Especially in the new energy automobile industry, a stable and efficient supply chain system is the guarantee of the quality, quantity and delivery efficiency of auto parts. This is reflected in some previous new power car companies. Due to the lack of deep cooperation foundation and experience, there may be unstable and uncontrollable risk factors in the supply chain in the face of extreme situations. For example, during the epidemic, there were even situations where the supply chain was tight and "dared not" to take orders, which limited the sales growth of car companies.

As one of the leading enterprises in the whole vehicle chain, Sailis Automobile has 20 years of vehicle manufacturing accumulation and excellent supply chain management capabilities, and uses the high-quality supply chain system as the foundation for the whole vehicle strength. Not only does it cooperate with Huawei’s cross-border business to build a smart car industry chain in depth, but also reaches strategic cooperation with many leading enterprises such as Ningde Times, Topu, Wencan, etc. Among them, Li’er, Huguang, Topu, etc. have settled in the local area to help the local industry strengthen and supplement the chain. Through forward-looking judgment of the industry and cooperation with many supply chain enterprises in advance, Sailis Automobile gathers the leading technologies of leading supply chain enterprises, and at the same time reduces the cost from procurement, production to after-sales services, promotes production efficiency and quality control, and builds a solid foundation for efficient and high-quality delivery.

Since the beginning of this year, the AITO Q & A series has been launched and delivered the M5 smart driving version and the new M7 series, which have been widely recognized by the market. In December, the flagship model AITO Q & A M9 will also be launched soon. Under the support of a complete supply chain system, Sailis Automobile promotes the strategy of large single products, and will seize a place in the fierce competition of new energy vehicles.

It is worth noting that the stock price of 601127.SH has continued to rise recently, and the market value has jumped by 100 billion yuan again. Cinda Securities’ latest research report said that it is optimistic about the rising profit space of Sailis, and pointed out that with the launch of AITO’s new M7 and M9, the company’s new energy vehicle sales are expected to achieve a significant increase.

　　CCTV NewsIt is the consensus of many car owners to find a surrogate driver after drinking and socializing, but if the surrogate driver is fully responsible for the traffic accident, should the insurance company insured by the owner unconditionally settle the claim? Recently, the Shanghai No. 1 Intermediate People’s Court (hereinafter referred to as the Shanghai No. 1 Intermediate Court) heard a case of subrogation by an insurance company caused by "Internet + surrogate driving". The court ruled that the surrogate driving company should be liable to the insurance company according to law.

　　At 21:33 on October 22, 2014, Mr. Zhou contacted a car service company to provide chauffeur services. At 21:45, the chauffeur Tang arrived at Mr. Zhou’s location. Due to Mr. Zhou’s drinking, his friend Cai signed a "entrusted chauffeur service agreement" (hereinafter referred to as the "agreement") with a car service company. The signature of the "agreement" was stamped with the seal of a car service company.

　　At 21:50, Tang had a traffic accident while driving Mr. Zhou’s vehicle, causing damage to the three vehicles. The traffic police department determined that Tang was fully responsible for the accident. Afterwards, the insurance company that insured Mr. Zhou’s car paid Mr. Zhou 53,300 yuan for the claim, and then obtained the transfer of rights issued by Mr. Zhou, and sued a car service company in court.

　　The insurance company believes that a car service company, as the party providing the driving service, should ensure the safety of the vehicle. Now the company is responsible for the accident and should bear the liability of 53,300 yuan.

　　The court of first instance ruled in favor of all the claims of the insurance company. A car service company refused to accept it and appealed to the Shanghai No. 1 Intermediate Court, requesting that the original judgment be revoked and the original lawsuit request of the insurance company be rejected. An auto service company appealed that it was only a driver information service platform, an intermediary who provided driver service information to drivers and customers and facilitated the signing of the Agreement between the two parties, and was not a party to the Agreement. The driver-on-behalf relationship occurred between Mr. Zhou and Tang. Even if compensation is required, it should be Tang’s compensation.

　　A car service company also proposed that the "Agreement" has stipulated relevant exemption clauses. For example, Article 12 stipulates that the client should first use vehicle insurance to settle claims. The company only compensates for "the part that falls within the scope of insurance liability but fails to pay", "the increase in insurance premiums in the following year" and "traffic compensation". Article 9 "Traffic accidents caused by non-personnel operations" are not responsible. When the customer logs in to the company platform to register, the company has informed the above exemption content, and the company’s website has also been publicized. When Mr. Zhou placed an order on the same day, the company also sent the relevant terms to Mr. Zhou via SMS. Therefore, the company has fully informed the exemption clause, and the exemption clause is legal and valid, and the company should be exempted accordingly.

　　After the trial, the Shanghai First Intermediate Court held that it was not improper for the insurance company to assert the right of subrogation against an automobile service company based on the contractual relationship between an automobile service company and Mr. Zhou, and the exemption clause was not legally effective because it failed to provide a prompt explanation. An automobile service company should be liable for the losses caused by the traffic accident. Finally, 2nd-round Moderation rejected the appeal and upheld the original judgment.

　　The Shanghai No. 1 Intermediate Court held that an automobile service company affixed the official seal to the "entrusted party" of the Agreement, and Mr. Zhou’s friend Cai signed it at the "customer confirmation". An automobile service company also recognized that Mr. Zhou sent the information that needs to be driven to the company. According to the agreement in the Agreement that "the agreement signed by the accompanying person shall be regarded as signed by the client himself", Mr. Zhou and an automobile service company reached an agreement on the Agreement. The Agreement has come into effect, and the two parties have established a trust contract relationship. An automobile service company is a party to the Agreement. It is not improper for an insurance company to claim the right of subrogation from an automobile service company based on the contractual relationship between an automobile service company and Mr. Zhou. In addition, an automobile service company provides paid driving services, and the designated driver is fully responsible for traffic accidents during the driving process. Therefore, the company is at fault in the performance of the contract and should compensate the client, Mr. Zhou, for his losses.

　　The "Agreement" is a format contract provided by the company, and Article 12 of it is a limitation of one’s own liability. The "Agreement" does not take black or bold methods to draw the attention of the client. The company claims to prompt customers through notifications during website registration and sending text messages, but does not provide evidence to prove it. Therefore, this clause has no legal effect because it fails to fulfill the obligation to prompt and explain. In addition, since the driver Tang is fully responsible for the traffic accident, this case does not fall under Article 9 of the "Agreement". "Therefore, an automobile service company shall be liable for the losses caused by the traffic accident. (CCTV reporter, Li Wenjie)

　　[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 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.

　● 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.

　● 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).

　● 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.

　　In terms of parameters, the new generation of hacker’s e-POWER model is equipped with a 1.5T variable compression ratio engine with a maximum power of 190 HP, and the front wheels are driven by the motor. There are no parameters for fuel consumption. At present, the comprehensive fuel consumption of Sylphy e-POWER is 3.9L.

　　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.

Recently, according to many media reports, a BYD Han caught fire in the Dalong section of Cenxi of Baomao Expressway due to collision with the guardrail. Unfortunately, the driver Yang was trapped in the car and died unfortunately. On the afternoon of the 6th, according to media reports, the staff of Yuncheng District Court confirmed to reporters that Yang Moumou, a judge of the court, did die unfortunately due to a high-speed traffic accident yesterday, which was not a tolerance. At present, the court has contacted family members to appease their emotions and coordinate the aftermath.

According to the witnesses of the incident, after the BYD Han collided and caught fire, someone rescued it and found that the door could not be opened, which also delayed the best time for rescue.

It is understood that BYD Han built a high-end car for BYD Auto, and the new car is equipped with a hidden door handle.

The discussion about the hidden door handle has recently become a hot topic.

Recently, some netizens posted a video, in which a Tucki P7 directly crossed the sidewalk beside the road, directly knocked down a tree, and finally stopped at the top of the fence next to it, and the whole body was billowing with smoke. What is even more desperate is that even after such a big car accident, Xpeng Motors’s hidden door handle still didn’t pop up, and the rescuers outside couldn’t open the car door through normal channels. Although the accident didn’t expose any news of casualties, it was still chilling at first glance, and the hidden door handle was once again carried to the focus by everyone.

It is worth noting that Tesla, the "rhythmic" hidden door handle, has also had serious problems. In 2029, Omar Awan, a 48-year-old American anesthesiologist, drove a Tesla Model S (parameter picture) rented by himself on a road in South Florida. The car suddenly lost control and crashed into a palm tree next to it, and then caught fire. When the firemen arrived, they tried to rescue Omar Awan from the car, but found that the door could not be opened at all, because the door handle of Model S was not a regular handle, but a so-called hidden handle, which automatically popped up when the car key was detected. Firefighters tried every means but couldn’t open the collapsed car door. They could only watch the fire devour Omar Awan’s life. Witnesses around also took these pictures.

When the hidden door handle has become a popular product, but some drawbacks are fatal, I feel that it is necessary for us to reflect and the relevant departments need to intervene. In order to avoid such a tragedy from happening again.
