At the China Association of Automotive Engineers Annual Conference and Exhibition (2017SAECCE) held recently, Chen Qingtai, chairman of the China Electric Vehicles Centennial Association, proposed that the technological advancement of electric vehicles should be “two-line combatâ€: one front is battery, motor, and electronic control. , power electronics, light weight, etc., to ensure the good roadside function of electric vehicles, but this is only a "1.0" version; the other front is information, network and intelligence, to meet the ever-increasing consumer experience, and ultimately realize no one drive. When the two types of technologies merge together, they can enter the "2.0" or even "3.0" version. Therefore, in the field of electric vehicle technology, or in all new energy automotive technologies, not only automakers, but also auto parts suppliers who are behind them must also make a difference in two major directions. First, new energy auto parts and components To develop, and to be laid out as soon as possible; Second, based on the trend of smart interconnection, the traditional auto parts companies need to change from the original focus only on the state of the hardware to the combination of hardware and software. In the past year, we can clearly feel that the transformation of auto parts manufacturers is accelerating. 2017SAECCE has many parts and components companies talk about their thinking and practice in this area. In an interview with the media, Wang Qiong, chief technology officer of Faurecia (China) Investment Co., Ltd., stated clearly that Faurecia is undergoing transformation and becomes a company driven by technological innovation, and all its current products and innovations are centered around it. The two major themes of "Life on the car" and "Creating and winning a green future" are launched. In February of this year, Faurecia's emission control technology system was renamed "Forgia Green Movement System." Since then, Faurecia's business unit will not only focus on its previous emissions control and related technologies, but will also develop innovative technologies for the rapidly growing commercial vehicle market and the global off-highway high-powered market including ships and power generation. , and provide related solutions for new energy vehicles. It is not difficult to see its determination in the development of electrified new energy vehicles. According to the author's understanding, in 2017, it has done at least the following things in the field of new energy vehicles: 1. In order to meet the higher requirements of the efficient and comprehensive integration scheme of electric vehicles for air conditioning systems, they cooperated with MAHLE Group to jointly develop innovative interior thermal management technologies to enhance the comfort and energy efficiency of occupants. Greatly increase driving mileage; Second, it is expanding the application of composite materials to a wider range of structural and semi-structural parts, as well as applied to various parts of interiors and seats, and making it suitable for all types of powertrains (including internal combustion engines). Automobiles, hybrid cars, electric vehicles, fuel cell vehicles, etc.); 3. The Group signed a cooperation agreement with STELIA this year to develop a lightweight hydrogen storage tank for fuel cell vehicles, and signed a five-year cooperation agreement with the French CEA (Atomic Energy and Alternative Energy Commission) to carry out research and development projects on fuel cell stack technology. Cooperation. According to Wang Qiong, by collaborating with STELIA Aerospace Composites and drawing on its more than 30 years of experience in producing high-pressure hydrogen storage tanks for the aerospace industry, Faurecia is developing high pressure (700 bar) for fuel cell vehicles while maximizing Lightweight hydrogen storage tanks. If the Foggia project is more used to meet the needs of the "1.0" version of the new energy vehicle technology, then its practice in the aspect of interconnection and intelligent transformation will undoubtedly be conducive to "2.0" or even "3.0" for new energy vehicle technology. Version upgrade. Of course, these are not just new energy models. These will become additional points for all current and future models. "Unity of intelligence and practice" is Foglia's new brand proposition put forward under the background of interconnected and intelligent transformation. People in the industry all know that in the past, their products were mainly hardware and software was relatively small, and the demand for intelligence required that they have the ability to integrate hardware and software, and rely on the Internet to bring more convenience to users. Wang Qiong believes: "We need to strengthen the application of software while maintaining the security, quality, and design strengths. At the same time, if we want to truly realize marketization, we must consider the cost factor while considering the technology. In the event of a rise, consumers are truly intelligent." He said that the current market for Faurecia is less challenging and there are more opportunities. Foglia's original strengths in security, quality, and design still exist, but after networking, the entire imagination is even bigger, the market is bigger, and the added value is even higher. Of course, at the same time, it is necessary to solve the cost-effective problem, to solve the cost problem, to solve the problem of integration of different technologies. "Therefore, in the face of transformation, the overall thinking of the enterprise must be changed and it must be more open." It is precisely based on this consideration that Faurecia uses its own capabilities while also strengthening its advantages in this area through acquisitions and cooperation. In July this year, Faurecia acquired a majority stake in Jiangxi Good Helper Company for a price of 1.45 billion yuan. According to the data, Jiangxi’s helpers mainly provide in-vehicle entertainment information systems and automotive interior electronics solutions, involving the integration of digital displays and human-machine interface technologies. It is not difficult to see that this acquisition is very beneficial to the technical research and development of Fagoria's future driving. Then in September, Faurecia demonstrated its infotainment solution in cooperation with Palot at the Frankfurt show. The combination of the expertise of Pilot Automotive in electronic technology and software development with Foglia's smart surface solutions. It is understood that based on this innovative interconnected system, users can control their favorite software applications through multimedia screens. Human-computer interaction intelligence can run different displays at the same time. The integrated box can control vehicle interconnection, telephone interconnection, broadcast reception and voice recognition. Wang Qiong said that the acquisition of a good helper in Jiangxi is a good complement to Parrot in France. Palot is targeting the European and American markets. China’s good helper is aimed at the Chinese market and is aimed at cost-effectiveness. "There are probably two or three hundred software engineers combined by Plott and good helpers. This makes Foggia's software capabilities somewhat better. Together with our strengths in traditional hardware, it is easier to achieve technological breakthroughs. Through these cooperations, our products are also more cost-efficient.†It is also worth mentioning that, in May this year, Faurecia and ZF also established a strategic partnership, which has developed subversive and differentiated technical cooperation in the development of automotive interior systems and the application of autopilot security. At this year's Frankfurt Motor Show, they demonstrated their first collaboration, The Advanced Versatile Structure. It is understood that this solution can rely on intelligent dynamic applications to ensure the safety of drivers in different modes. The driver can tilt, lift, adjust and rotate the seat while integrating the seat frame of the seat belt and seat belt retractor, providing a very safe cabin space. In 2017 SAECCE, Faurecia brought the OASIS concept cockpit and U-shaped SCR BlueBox compact mixer technology. Among them, the OASIS concept cockpit is the future cockpit prototype for autonomous driving, with 14 items of electric adjustment. In addition to touch-type head restraint adjustment and pneumatic wing and lumbar support adjustments, the seat also enables vision of the occupant's posture through the vision system to pre-adjust head restraint and seat length. The seat presets a variety of modes, relax, entertain, and business mode to easily switch, perfectly adapting to the future of automatic driving scenarios. It is not difficult to see that through a series of initiatives such as acquisition and cooperation, Faurecia has significantly improved its product innovation and development speed. Whether it is in the new energy vehicle technology itself or in the direction of smart interconnection, the Buddha The positive layout of Giya has achieved certain results. Of course, Faurecia is far more than this in this area. Wang Qiong revealed that the company's other investments are also in progress and more progress will be announced in the future. aluminum t slot rails,aluminum extrusion rails,aluminum extrusion linear rail,extruded aluminum rail t slot,extruded aluminum linear rail Guangdong Huachang Group Co., Ltd. , https://www.wacangaluminium.com
