Volvo dumped 28 billion luxury electric "baggage" to Geely.

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

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

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

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

Volvo pulled out and its share price soared.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The cake in the industry is not enough, and the marketing depends on the head anchor … What is the reason why it is "difficult" to make up domestic products?

Every reporter Shu Dongni, every intern reporter Huang Hai, every editor Liang Xiao    

The public opinion storm caused by 79 yuan Huaxizi’s eyebrow pencil has not stopped.

On September 14th, some event-related entries, such as "Netizen explodes Hua Xizi’s five makeup brushes for 919 yuan", "What eyebrow pencils are more expensive than Hua Xizi’s" and "Yu Meijing’s powder rose by 320,000 a day", were posted on the hot search, which triggered a total reading volume of over 200 million times.

Consumers who questioned the price of Huaxizi poured into traditional Chinese beauty brands with more cost-effective performance. Since September 12, brands such as Bee Flower and Yumeijing have been on the hot search in turn, becoming the "new favorites" chosen by consumers.

In the transformation from "online celebrity" to parity, there may be a consumption trend that cannot be ignored — — It seems that the first generation of online celebrity beauty brands represented by Hua Xizi and Perfect Diary can’t be sold in Amoy’s base camp. According to the data of the third-party research report, the reporter of national business daily found that the total GMV of Huaxizi had a high year-on-year decline for several months since December last year on the Alibaba platform, the base camp where Huaxizi started.

"It has never been used, and the price/performance ratio is average." Yemeng, who lives in Foshan, Guangdong Province, bought Hua Xizi’s makeup remover, cosmetic eggs and eyeliner two or three years ago.

For yemeng, who didn’t have a job at that time, the singer Charlie was the only reason for her to buy Hua Xizi. She was a hardcore fan of Charlie. "In fact, even if I knew that Charlie had become a brand friend, I hesitated for a long time before buying it, because I knew that it was low in cost performance, mainly in marketing. So I didn’t buy its ace product, but bought something I thought I would use. "

When it comes to lipstick and honey powder with a "good" reputation, yemeng, who has always been careful in skin care, bluntly said: "Honey powder lipstick is a bit ‘ Wrong species ’ … …” Yemeng’s experience is not unique. On social media such as Weibo and Xiaohongshu, there are many discussions about the quality and price of Huaxizi.

On September 13, the related terms of Hua Xizi’s eyebrow pencil were more expensive than gold on the hot search.

Taobao platform shows that the price of Huaxizi Shouwumei chalk in Huaxizi’s official flagship store is one replacement in 89 yuan, with a net content of 0.08g. After conversion, the average price per gram is 556.25 yuan, which is nearly 20% higher than the latest published unit price of gold in China and Shanghai Gold Exchange.

Is Huaxizi expensive?

"The price of Huaxizi is in the upper-middle price range among domestic products (beauty products)." On the afternoon of September 14, a person who was responsible for the live broadcast of a domestic brand e-commerce told reporters. However, the person also said that when calculating the price of eyebrow pencil, consumers should also take the replacement into account. Take the price of Hua Xizi’s live broadcast room in Li Jiaqi as an example. 79 yuan buys one and gets two replacement clothes, with an average price of 329.17 yuan per gram.

Compared with mainstream makeup brands on the market, the unit price of this eyebrow pencil of Hua Xizi is in the upper-middle level of the industry. In fact, entering the mid-to high-end market has always been the business goal that Hua Xizi is laying out.

According to several authoritative sources, Hua Mantian, the founder of Hua Xizi, once bluntly said: "For a long time, the high-end market of China cosmetics has been monopolized by international brands. But today, many products of Huaxizi have cut into the middle and high-end price belt and achieved certain success. "

However, for price-sensitive consumers, domestic beauty products with rising prices seem less attractive.

According to the latest research report of China Merchants Securities, in the nine months from December 2022 to August this year, the monthly GMV (total turnover) of Huaxizi products on Ali platform only increased in three months. In December 2022 and January 2023, the overall GMV of Huaxizi on the Ali platform dropped by as much as 45% and 56%.

Not only Hua Xizi, but also the perfect diary that ran out almost at the same time as Hua Xizi has a similar situation — — In the past nine months, the GMV of Perfect Diary on Ali platform has declined year-on-year almost every month.

The trend of pressure may have appeared in 618 last year. According to the research report of Guoyuan Securities, during the period of June 18, 2022, the brand growth rate of Huaxi Zi failed, with a drop of 41%.

On the afternoon of September 14th, the reporter sent an interview request to Hua Xizi on the issue of sales volume. As of press time, the other party has not responded.

"The research data is also biased. As far as I know, there is more than one channel for brands now. Taobao, Shake (sound), Fast (hand) and Little Red Book all need marketing costs. Brands may focus on Taobao at this stage. If other sales channels perform well, they may focus on other channels (such as marketing costs). Brands don’t want to be monopolized by the platform, making themselves very passive. "

On the evening of September 14, an e-commerce industry practitioner bluntly told reporters: "To be honest, we don’t know whether the sales volume of the brand is rising or falling, because the industry of live e-commerce may find many anchors to bring the goods, and all the sales data are in the hands of the boss or the corresponding merchants’ meeting knows that the company’s data has a wall."

However, in Wang Kai’s perception, the overall beauty is indeed on the decline in the past two years.

Wang Kai had previously worked as a "friend" in the head live broadcast room. He analyzed to reporters: "One is because there will be more new products of beauty, and now both domestic products and big brands are actually rolling … … For domestic products, it is more powerful in cost performance, but many of them have no brand power to support, so if it is not a very classic product, its product life cycle will be shorter. "

"Now it doesn’t cost too much to build a brand and make a product, so it won’t have long-term vitality."

It is not difficult to make products, and marketing has become the "number one project" of the brand. In the process of industry involution, the live broadcast room of the head anchor still has great appeal to domestic beauty brands.

Everyone is criticizing Hua Xizi, but almost all brands want to be Hua Xizi. Since I started to contact Li Jiaqi Live Studio in 2018, in just five years, Huaxi’s revenue has achieved a leap from tens of millions to billions.

"Lick" — — Wan Qing, who was in charge of the live broadcast of a domestic beauty brand, used this word to describe the company’s dependence on the head anchor. Wan Qing’s brand has appeared in many popular variety shows, but its dependence on the head anchor is not much different from that of small brands. "Sometimes it is a loss, because self-broadcasting is not necessarily so good."

Wan Qing told reporters that the cooperation between his brand and the head anchor often adopts the model of pit fee plus commission. Wan Qing recalled that the price of cooperation with a head anchor at that time was about 300,000 to 400,000 pit fees, plus a certain percentage of commission. "There is also a molecular parent link. If it is a parent link, it is more links, and it will be more expensive."

Wang Kai provided a set of data to the reporter. In the beauty industry, there are two main ways to cooperate with the live broadcast room. One is a pure maid, which is about 30% ~ 50%; The second is the pit fee plus commission, but the commission is probably between 30% and 50%, depending on the cooperation rules between the product and the anchor. "If you are like the previous top anchor, his commission will not be lower than 40% or 50%."

Image source: Weibo @ Li Jiaqi Austin

In the face of such a high proportion of commission, why are brands looking for goods in the live broadcast room still "endless"?

"Live broadcast is a must for domestic beauty."

Wang Kai gave a view similar to Wan Qing’s. He thought there were two main problems: exposure and transformation.

"If you have a deep cooperation with the head anchor, the head anchor will give you a video, and its broadcast volume may reach several million, which is equivalent to your exposure of several million in the whole network; If there is a super head anchor, there may be tens of millions in one game, which means that your product has tens of millions of exposures. " In terms of transformation, "a small-headed anchor, if it sells well, will bring you an output of about one million. Although you said that you paid a commission of 30% to 40% to this anchor, you still earned it."

In Wang Kai’s view, the brand’s choice of head anchor has hidden benefits. "First of all, this is an increase in exposure. There is no way to calculate the income, but it is indeed a relatively large hidden income. If Tik Tok has these exposures on Taobao, it will correspondingly increase the search volume of keywords on Taobao … … After the product goes on the market, there will be more things to consider, which will definitely be much better than yourself.

What is the difference between Yunqi system and standard luxury suspension system?

When I looked up at U9 and walked out of the stage in a dancing posture, I knew it was unusual. On April 10th, BYD released the cloud chariot system for new energy vehicles, which was specially created for new energy vehicles to improve driving quality. Among them, there are four sets of body control systems with different characteristics, including Yunqi -C, Yunqi -A, Yunqi -P and Yunqi -X, and different systems will be set for different models.

In terms of interpretation, the term "chariot" means a multi-person assisted push cart, which describes the state of the emperor’s trip in that year. However, in BYD’s technical system, Yunchariot represents different functional contents under the same platform structure, so it has different classifications. This setting is similar to luxury brands that pay attention to driving, such as Mercedes-Benz magic carpet, Audi’s intelligent attitude stabilization system, Land Rover all-terrain feedback system and Porsche PDCC system. Today, I will share their differences with you.

In the new energy era, vehicles will pay more attention to the functional applications such as three-electric technology and assisted driving, and the demand point for driving itself will become weaker. Therefore, for vehicles with higher overall load than traditional fuel, efforts in body control system are the place to open the gap between brands.

Pure electric vehicles can better achieve the 50:50 gold counterweight because the batteries are evenly distributed at the bottom of the vehicle. However, due to the high quality of the overall equipment, the inertia generated during driving will be greater, and the requirements for suspension damping will be higher. At the same time, according to the characteristics of different vehicles, the differences in control systems also make the vehicles have different performances.

The four systems have special targeted uses.

First of all, Yunxiao -C, which can be simply considered as a suspension system with variable damping adjustment, can adjust the hardness and damping effect of the suspension according to the feedback of road conditions by means of electronic dampers. This system is relatively rudimentary, and many models with torsion beam dependent suspensions will have similar systems to adjust the comfort of the suspension. At present, BYD Han is equipped with it, which can provide better damping effect.

Yunqi -A adds an air suspension, which can realize the soft and hard adjustment of the suspension and adjust it according to the actual demand, which is also the common point of air suspension. However, one thing is special. In the process of high-speed steering, an airbag is added to the flank positions on both sides of the bucket seat, which can be inflated according to the change of speed and steering angle, so that passengers can effectively offset the lateral thrust during the shift of center of gravity, and the direct effect is to make passengers sit on the seat more stably.

The cloud chariot -P is set for looking up to the U8 hard-core SUV. It is mainly divided into three contents, the first is the adjustment range of up and down height of 200mm, which makes the vehicle have stronger passability. Secondly, it is able to have stronger compression resistance and cushion the specific impact caused by the height difference. Finally, the most important thing is to have a longer suspension stroke, which can make it closer to the road surface when passing through the undulating road surface to avoid suspension. At the same time, it can realize the dynamic balance of the vehicle by four-wheel linkage and achieve the same height of the four wheels.

Finally, it is the strongest cloud -X, just like looking up at U9 at the beginning. As a super-running model, more attention is paid to handling, especially in high-speed dynamic driving texture. The active anti-roll bar can be adjusted moderately by combining with the road surface perception software, so that the included angle between the vehicle and the ground can be tracked more perfectly and the vehicle can be driven closer to the ground.

As mentioned above, Yunqi system can adjust different driving dynamics around cars, SUVs and even sports cars. It is targeted and differentiated, and it can be adjusted and adapted according to the driving conditions of different models. What are the differences from the familiar Mercedes-Benz magic carpet, Audi intelligent attitude stabilization system, Land Rover all-terrain feedback system and Porsche PDCC system? What I have concluded is that, on the one hand, the hardware is diversified and has different configurations according to different models, and it will not go all over the world like other systems. On the other hand, according to the computing power of the cloud, we can combine the road conditions and the data collected by the algorithm to simulate the suspension damping effect that changes according to driving habits. This is a process of continuous learning and optimization.

Say, where are the system characteristics of other brands?

First of all, the magic carpet of Mercedes-Benz is called the magic body control system. Through the "road scanning camera" located at the windshield, the road conditions within 15 meters in front of the vehicle and above 3 mm in ground height can be pre-scanned. When the road surface in front is monitored to be undulating, the magic body control system will automatically change the hydraulic oil quantity of the hydraulic tappet in suspension, and at the same time, it will be integrated with many sensors, calculation actuators and air suspension.

The core of this is predictability, which can perceive the road condition in advance and adjust it, instead of passively reacting when the vehicle drives to the corresponding road section. This configuration is unique to luxury models on Mercedes-Benz S-Class models.

Audi’s intelligent attitude stabilization system, as its name implies, can provide a more stable body driving posture. This system can increase or decrease the load of each wheel through the motor according to the road condition, so it can actively adjust the chassis position no matter what driving situation. In comfort+mode, the intelligent attitude stabilization system can use the tilting function when driving in corners, and can adjust the body posture to reduce the lateral acceleration of passengers.

When entering the curve, the intelligent attitude stabilization system will raise the car body on the outside of the curve and lower the car body on the other side, so that the deviation between the vehicle and the curve is controlled within 3. When driving in a straight line, the intelligent attitude stabilization system can provide buffer compensation for the pitching motion of the chassis, which makes the car body more trackable during driving.

In the field of cars, what Yunqi -C and Yunqi -A have in common with Mercedes-Benz magic carpet and Audi intelligent posture stabilization is that they can adjust the damping adaptively to improve the comfort, but Mercedes-Benz has better foresight and can simulate the road conditions in advance, which Yunqi can’t compare with.

Compared with Audi’s intelligent posture stabilization, Yunqi did not adjust the posture of the whole vehicle, but only simulated the corresponding feelings on the seat, which is a fundamental difference. After all, it has nothing to do with the dynamics of the whole vehicle.

In addition, for luxury models, Land Rover ATF system needs to manually select the corresponding mode system for proper allocation. The changes are the response speed of the engine, the acceleration slip regulation and the difference of the dynamic stability system of the car body, which can have more obvious effects on fuel vehicles.

However, compared with BYD’s Yunqi -P, it is developed around new energy vehicles, which can achieve a more accurate ratio of power output and four-wheel independent operation, which perfectly solves the problem that pure electric vehicles have no mechanical differential, can achieve four-wheel different speed differences, and has better effects on the ability to get rid of difficulties and the adjustment of suspension stroke.

Finally, Porsche’s PDCC, whose core is the active anti-roll bar, can actively adjust the speed between different wheels when cornering, improve the grip of the inner wheel, and compensate for the difference, so that the vehicle has better tracking performance during cornering, and will not be out of control because of the influence of speed and corner angle, thus restraining the roll and improving the cornering speed.

From this technical point of view, BYD’s Yunqi -X system imitates such functionality, which can monitor the dynamics of wheels from time to time. At the same time, it is more evolved than Porsche PDCC in that it is equipped with a laser radar and can realize four-wheel independent operation at the same time. This is the reason for the frog jump.

Conclusion:

The different module functions of the cloud-chariot system can be used for different vehicles and different scenes, which can be said to be very targeted. Compared with the system provided by luxury brands to improve driving quality, it is very similar in functional attributes and effects, and the only difference is that it is aimed at new energy vehicles.

The value of luxury brands lies in providing luxury experience and more comfortable riding experience, which is the ultimate goal of all research and development of advanced suspension systems. However, Yunqi has mastered the core contents of luxury brands at present, and at the same time, it can be said that the innovation in the field of new energy is more advanced.

When others are still thinking about how to improve their sense of science and technology, BYD still returns to the original point and focuses on the driving quality itself. This consideration shows that BYD has begun to understand cars.

  BYD said that DM-i super hybrid technology is the core weapon of Qin PLUS. It is reported that Qin PLUS is equipped with a hybrid system consisting of a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and an electric motor. The official said that the thermal efficiency of this 1.5L engine can reach 43%, and it also has Atkinson cycle, high compression ratio of 15.5, EGR exhaust gas recirculation system and split cooling technology. Without electric drive, the engine fuel consumption is 3.8L/100km.

Editor’s comment:

   It can be seen that Qin PLUS is positioned as a stylish and practical family car, but on this basis, BYD also hopes to let the new car release more features, such as simple but not simple design, ultra-low fuel consumption, etc., in order to meet the needs of users in terms of quality, cost performance and face value, and attract more potential consumers. Therefore, if its final pricing is close to the people in the future, it is expected to have good product sales. (Text/car home Zhouyi)

Exploring Xiaomi automobile production base: small batch trial production has been realized, and the new car will be listed in February next year.

"It should have started production, but not long ago I heard a voice coming from a distance." A few days ago, a person working near the Xiaomi automobile production base said in an interview with reporters.

A few days ago, the reporter visited Xiaomi Automobile Factory in Beijing Economic Development Zone and saw that the production plant had begun to take shape. There is Xiaomi’s LOGO on the office building, and occasionally big trucks and yellow engineering vehicles pass by.

Waiting for the dock staff to visit at the gate of Xiaomi automobile factory
Zhang Hai (pseudonym), a component supplier, told reporters that the first phase of Xiaomi Automobile Factory, the four major factories of Xiaomi Automobile Factory, built production workshops (stamping, welding, painting and assembly) and started small-batch trial production. The manufactured car is parked in the assembly workshop.

Since Lei Jun, founder, chairman and CEO of Xiaomi Group, announced Xiaomi’s entry into the smart car industry, the dynamics of Xiaomi Automobile have attracted much attention. An insider who asked not to be named said in an interview that Xiaomi Automobile will start mass production next month (December) and start selling early next year (February). Previously, Lei Jun said that Xiaomi’s first car will be mass-produced in the first half of 2024.

The confidentiality system of the factory is strict, and suppliers queue up to visit.

For a long time, Xiaomi car has been quite secretive because of its high degree of confidentiality. "When we enter the factory, we are forbidden to use tools such as mobile phones and cannot disclose any information." Zhang Hai told reporters.

During the visit, the reporter also found that Xiaomi Automobile Factory is surrounded by green iron sheets and stone walls. Only the north gate is reserved as the entrance and exit, and strict inspection is required when entering.

The security guard at the entrance of Xiaomi automobile told the reporter that foreigners who need to enter the factory should not only scan and register the QR code at the security booth at the door and register the visitor information, but also contact the internal staff Xiaomi to automatically come out and guide them before they enter. "The internal confidentiality system of Xiaomi Automobile is very strict, and we have to go through this process every time we come here." Another component supplier waiting for internal employees at the gate of Xiaomi Automobile Factory also said.

At the north gate of Xiaomi Automobile, the reporter saw nearly 20 people scanning the QR code to register at the door, waiting for contact. To choose. "Most of us are suppliers of Xiaomi auto parts, some have reached cooperation, and some are going to Xiaomi Auto to explore and seek possible cooperation." Zhang Hai said.

Rong Fang (pseudonym), who is also a supplier of Xiaomi Automobile, told reporters that he dropped by Xiaomi Automobile Factory after attending the closed meeting of Xiaomi Automobile. "Xiaomi Auto’s information confidentiality system is particularly strict. The company representatives who participated in Xiaomi’s closed-door meeting signed a confidentiality agreement and could not disclose any information released at the meeting to the outside world." Rong Fang said.

According to public information, on November 8, Xiaomi held a closed-door partner meeting in Xiaomi Science and Technology Park. Participants are all major buyers of Xiaomi Automobile, including Xiaomi mobile phone and automobile supply chain business. This closed-door meeting is only for invited people, and mobile phones, computers and other electronic equipment are not allowed in the meeting room.

Thirteen. In November, the relevant person in charge of Xiaomi Group also said in an interview that the only information that can be disclosed to the outside world for Xiaomi Automobile is the mass production time of the first car (that is, the first half of the year). 2024).

Trial production of dozens of new cars

According to the plan, Xiaomi Automobile Factory will be built in two phases. The first phase covers an area of about 720,000 square meters with an annual production capacity of 150,000 vehicles. It will be completed in June 2023; The first phase project is expected to start in 2024 and be completed in 2025.

According to public information, the related factories of the first phase of Xiaomi Automobile Factory passed the acceptance on June 12. The reporter saw in front of Xiaomi Automobile Factory that the land to be developed and developed in the factory was separated from the completed factories and office buildings, and marked with "No.1". 1 to 5, barbed wire. "In addition to the factory building, Xiaomi Automobile Factory has also set up an internal low-speed test site for the trial production of vehicles." Zhang Hai told reporters.

According to the above-mentioned insider who asked not to be named, Xiaomi Automobile Factory has started trial production in small batches for some time and is currently producing vehicles. Dozens of cars. "The factory will start mass production at the end of this year to prepare for the launch of the model in February next year." An insider who asked not to be named said.

A few days ago, a detailed picture of the chassis of Xiaomi’s first model was exposed online. From the spy photos, the overall design of the new car is fashionable, and the popular hidden door handle may be adopted. On the back, you can see the arc shape of the taillights.

"From the design point of view, the new car is a car, very similar to Tucki P7." The above-mentioned insider who asked not to be named said. Zhang Hai also said that judging from the appearance of the white body parked in the factory, Xiaomi’s first car may be a "sports car-like" car.

Hu Zhengnan, who is in charge of Xiaomi’s auto-related business, posted a message in his personal Weibo: "Hey! It’s hard to protect myself from it, and now I have a headache. What if we just start selling? "

Guo Ming, an analyst at Tianfeng International Securities, believes that the key selling points of Xiaomi’s first model will focus on autonomous driving technology, software ecology, 800V fast charging and power configuration, and the price is expected to be below 300,000. "After the first Xiaomi model is listed in 2024, it is expected that the shipment will be 50,000 to 60,000 units." Guo Ming is full of confidence.

"Birth card" may appear.

Although the mass production of the time node is confirmed, there is no news that there is a problem at present.

"Xiaomi Automobile must use its own production qualification. The group has invested so much money (coming in) that it is impossible to produce with the qualifications of others. " A number of Xiaomi auto parts suppliers told national business daily.

According to Reuters, Xiaomi was approved by the National Development and Reform Commission to produce electric vehicles in August this year, but it still needs the approval of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. However, the news has not been officially confirmed. The reporter also inquired about Xiaomi Group many times, but did not get a reply.

The person in charge of the new energy automobile company, who asked not to be named, told reporters that one of the important prerequisites for automobile enterprises to obtain the production qualification of new energy vehicles is to have their own production plants. Xiaomi Automobile has already met this condition, which may be just a problem. "There is still more than half a year before mass production," Xiaomi Automobile revealed. It is not impossible for Xiaomi Automobile to obtain (production) qualification during this period. The CEO of the above-mentioned new energy automobile company, who asked not to be named, said.

It should be noted that it has recently been reported that Xiaomi Automobile has contacted Jianghuai Automobile, Chery Automobile, Beiqi Blue Xiaomi Automobile and Beiqi Blue Valley to make further progress in cooperation, and both parties are interested in further negotiations. In this regard, Xiaomi Automobile related person said that for the person in charge of Beiqi Blue Valley, he only replied to the reporter: "We have not received relevant news internally."

"In theory, Xiaomi Automobile has its own factory and does not need OEM production from other companies. Beiqi Zhenjiang Blue Valley Factory will produce four models at the same time in 2024, and its smart selection cooperation model with Huawei will also have to transform the Futian factory for production. " An insider close to Beiqi Blue Valley told reporters.

In addition, it has recently been reported that Haima Automobile and Xiaomi Automobile have reached a cooperation. In this regard, Haima Automobile said on the interactive platform that the company has no cooperation with Xiaomi Automobile at present. Xiaomi automobile’s news about automobile cooperation. "We don’t know the news." The relevant person in charge of Haima Automobile responded to the reporter.

However, the management of the above-mentioned new energy automobile company, who asked not to be named, believes that Xiaomi Automobile is likely to find other automobile companies to cooperate in production, but will use its own production qualifications. "Even if Xiaomi Car Factory can be put into production quickly next year, there will still be a process of increasing production capacity." The sales target set by Lei Jun is that the production capacity of Xiaomi Automobile in June 2024 is 100,000 units, and it is difficult for the new factory to reach this production capacity quickly. The above-mentioned unnamed executives of new energy automobile companies analyzed this.

According to Lei Jun’s plan, the first batch of Xiaomi cars will sell 100,000 vehicles within one year and deliver 900,000 vehicles in the next three years, thus "entering the first camp in the industry in 2024". This means that from 2025 to 2027, Xiaomi Automobile needs an annual production capacity of at least 300,000 vehicles.

"Xiaomi Auto’s contact with other car companies to solve the existing capacity problem is a strategy based on its long-term sales target, which can alleviate the subsequent capacity shortage of Xiaomi Auto to some extent. The management of the above-mentioned new energy automobile company, who asked not to be named, believes.

All photos and parameters of Xiaomi Automobile are made public, and the rear part is "Beijing Xiaomi".

According to the official opinion of the website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, on November 15th, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released the announcement of road motor vehicle manufacturers and products (No.377 series) and the catalogue of energy-saving and new energy-using vehicles enjoying the preferential treatment of vehicle and vessel tax (No.56 series).The two Xiaomi cars on the market are all pure electric vehicles of this brand.

Net exposure BYD Han collided with the fire door and could not open the scene of the owner’s death

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.

There can’t be a price before the official release! Why is Xiaomi car difficult to "price"?

Early this morning, Wang Hua, general manager of the public relations department of Xiaomi Group, released the ultimate rumor about Xiaomi Automobile on the social media platform. Wang Hua said that in the past two days, rumors have been made three times to clarify the price P chart of Xiaomi Automobile.Today, the rumor is finally dismissed. Until the official Xiaomi automobile product launch conference is over, all the information and posters with Xiaomi automobile version and price are fake..

Wang Hua also said that there can be no price and policy before the official release. Don’t believe the so-called insider rumors, no one knows the real price, or even the official release time, because everything has not yet been determined.

Things to review:

Regarding the price of Xiaomi car, at the Xiaomi car technology conference held on December 28, 2023, Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi Group, explained the performance of the first car SU7 of Xiaomi and said firmly: "So don’t shout 99,000 (referring to the pricing of Xiaomi SU7), it is impossible!" Lei Jun further said: "Anyone who has this kind of performance and configuration will get more than 400,000! Therefore, there is no need to talk about 149,000, but we still have to respect technology! "

On January 2nd, Lei Jun said that Xiaomi SU750 had no rivals within 7.5 million and rushed to Weibo for hot search. On the same day, Lei Jun wrote on the social media platform, "Xiaomi SU7, who is competing with the same file?" . In the comment area of this article in Weibo, some netizens commented, "Without the price, I don’t know who is in the same file. Mr. Lei will give the price quickly and want to buy a car for the New Year."

Subsequently, Lei Jun replied to this comment, "Is there an opponent within 500,000?"

Xiaomi public relations rumors three times in two days.

Recently, some people have made a price poster similar to Xiaomi’s official style, which indicates that the pre-sale price of Xiaomi SU7 rear-drive standard version is 99,000, and the pre-sale price of Xiaomi SU7 four-wheel drive Max version is 599,000.

In this regard, Wang Hua, the head of Xiaomi’s public relations, denied rumors on the social media platform on the 3rd. These pictures were fake at first glance. "Not only is the font wrong, but there is no metric mark, and the screenshot of official website is directly P".

After the rumor was rumored on the 3rd, a poster picture of the scheduled opening of Xiaomi SU7 was circulated on the Internet. This time, the picture was made very realistically, with many details, but unfortunately it was still fake.

Wang Hua, head of Xiaomi’s public relations, said: "Everyone’s expectations have been received, and the rhythm of a daily picture is unnecessary. When it is officially released, everyone can see it at a glance."

Why is Xiaomi car difficult to "price"?

Nowadays, the pricing of Xiaomi SU7 has become a mystery, and it has also earned enough attention.

According to national business daily, according to Pang Rui, a well-known brand expert and founding partner of Zhansheng Communication, this may be a "test water" for Xiaomi Automobile in pricing. "So far, for the pricing of Xiaomi SU7, Xiaomi is more denying the price circulated on the Internet, without giving any positive hints. Perhaps this is also a pricing test strategy, that is, by observing the market’s public opinion feedback on different rumored prices, Xiaomi can constantly correct the price and gradually form the final pricing in the process. " He said, "Xiaomi has denied the three prices of 99,000, 149,000 and 599,000, which also shows that Xiaomi SU7 will not be positioned in the low-end or luxury car market, but is more likely to choose the middle and high-end market."

Whether it is electronic products such as mobile phones or home appliances such as televisions, millet products are often known for their cost performance. When Xiaomi turned to the car track, many people also expected its first car, especially in terms of price, hoping that it could maintain the brand tonality of "high cost performance".

Some netizens speculate from the current automobile market that the minimum starting price of Xiaomi automobile may be between 200,000 yuan and 300,000 yuan. At the same time, it is reported that Xiaomi SU7 Max needs to be sold for more than 330,000 yuan to achieve breakeven.

According to China Net Finance, Liang Zhenpeng, a senior industrial economic observer, said that Xiaomi’s pricing was not announced, which may be a decision made by considering various factors. "On the one hand, it takes a long time for a car to go from PPT to commercial mass production, and then to improve the yield to meet the standards of product quality, process performance and other technical parameters. For Xiaomi, the cost is temporarily difficult to determine, so the price has not been disclosed yet; On the other hand, in the process of R&D and manufacturing, Xiaomi’s automobile products will continue to be iteratively updated, and the cost will continue to change, thus affecting the final pricing. "

Why did you choose BYD Han? You have to accept these three reasons.

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

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

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

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

Reason 2: It is most suitable for home use.

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

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

Reason 3: worry-free battery life

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