CCTV News:From December 18th to 20th, the final of the 1st National Postdoctoral Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition was held in Foshan, Guangdong. This is the largest, highest level and widest coverage national post-doctoral innovation and entrepreneurship competition held since the implementation of the post-doctoral system in China, and it can also be said that it is a competition between super brain in our country.

The contestant on the road show is named Dink, and the project he shows is the "high-speed, high-definition and three-dimensional machine vision system" developed by him and his team in 10 years.

Judges:I want to ask, what are our specific application scenarios?

Player:At present, our main application scenarios are more guided by robots.

In the past, the recognition speed of domestic robot vision system was slow, and most of them could only be designed according to fixed programs, and repeated sorting and handling could not be carried out. The 3D "eyes" developed by the Dink team can identify objects in all directions and greatly improve the vision level of the robot. Dink’s project also got a high score in the roadshow of the Entrepreneurial Competition.

Dink, a contestant in the 1st National Postdoctoral Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition:Contacting these technical experts and investors and interacting with them can bring some new ideas and even some new application scenarios.

The project roadshow, on-site defense, and on-the-spot bright points, 47 teams competed for the gold, silver and bronze awards in this competition, and the total prize money of the competition was more than 12 million yuan. More importantly, the contest gave many excellent "ideas" a chance to land.

Tang Yong, the expert judge of the contest:How can we cross and inspire each other with our own ideas and ideas, and truly achieve our originality by facing the international (frontier of science and technology)?

The title contest focuses on the practical problems of enterprises

The post-doctoral innovation and entrepreneurship competition has attracted wide attention. The characteristic of this competition is that manufacturing enterprises give questions, and postdoctoral fellows come to answer them, which can be described as "facing the market" and "professional and accurate". Let’s take a look again.

The title contest is one of the highlights of this competition. In the end, 23 technical requirements and 230 applicants entered the finals, and the solutions were displayed on the spot for the problems raised by listed companies.

The way of the competition is similar to that of the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition, but the content of the competition is more specific, which solves the practical problems faced by enterprises. This postdoctoral team from Shenzhen brought the world’s leading 6G technical solution to expose the research topics of mobile communication system and key technologies.

Contest contestant Zhang Chenyao:The leading place lies in the low-power algorithm, because the energy consumption on the satellite is limited. We adopt the low-power intelligent technology of wireless sensor network and put it on the on-board as low-power calculation, and achieve the effect of fusion of calculation results through the combination of multiple satellites.

After the completion of the road show, the expert judges of the contest will also ask questions on the spot, and score on the spot around the core competitiveness of the project technology, the effectiveness of the project team, the feasibility of the implementation plan, etc. If the list is finally successfully unveiled, the total amount of rewards will exceed 50 million yuan.

Since the beginning of this year, the state has promoted the implementation of the digital transformation partnership action to empower traditional enterprises to upgrade digitally and intelligently; The implementation of intelligent manufacturing engineering and digital empowerment of small and medium-sized enterprises will enable digital technology to better empower the development of large, medium and small enterprises, which will also create a bigger stage for postdoctoral students.

　　Cctv news Experts from the Forum of 30 Circulation People in China put forward an idea to encourage China supermarket enterprises to enter the markets of five Central Asian countries along the "Silk Road Economic Belt" and establish a "Silk Road Supermarket". To this end, Ma Longlong, vice chairman of the 30-member China Circulation Forum, and Zhi Li, a young expert, wrote to the leaders of the Ministry of Commerce, proposing to establish a "Silk Road Supermarket" and held an expert seminar.

　　According to Ma Longlong, in the summer of 2014, they led a team to five Central Asian countries to investigate the development of local commerce and trade circulation industry, and deeply felt the urgent desire of the local government and people to vigorously develop commercial infrastructure to meet the growing consumer demand. As the "One Belt, One Road" strategy has entered the stage of full implementation, supporting and guiding China supermarket enterprises to enter the Central Asian market along the "Silk Road" is in line with the interests of all countries and has broad prospects.

　　"Construction ‘ Silk Road Supermarket ’ It is of great significance. " Ma Longlong analysis:

　　— — It is conducive to the smooth implementation of the "Belt and Road" strategy.

　　Building a "community of interests" and "community of destiny" of relevant countries is one of the starting points of the "Belt and Road" strategic concept. The construction of "Silk Road Supermarket" is a concrete form of strengthening economic and trade exchanges between China and countries along the route, which can effectively promote the implementation of the strategy and tap the potential of cooperation between China and countries along the route.

　　— — It is conducive to creating a new situation in China’s opening up. China has made remarkable achievements in opening up to the outside world, but the overall pattern is "fast in the east and slow in the west, strong in the sea and weak in the land". The construction of "Silk Road Supermarket" is an important measure to accelerate the pace of China’s opening to the west and help inland border areas move from the edge of opening to the forefront.

　　— — Is conducive to establishing a new diplomatic image of China. Countries along the "Belt and Road" are rich in energy, but daily necessities and fresh food are relatively scarce. The construction of "Silk Road Supermarket" is conducive to reversing China’s diplomatic image with the main purpose of "purchasing resources" and enhancing its diplomatic affinity.

　　— — Conducive to China’s circulation industry going out. In July 2012, the State Council put forward the strategy of "going out" for the circulation industry. The construction of "Silk Road Supermarket" will be a vivid practice of this strategy and will also provide valuable experience for later enterprises.

　　In view of the characteristics of the five Central Asian countries, such as sufficient purchasing power, vast territory and sparsely populated, Ma Longlong believes that a perfect supply chain is one of the key factors for successfully building a "Silk Road Supermarket", and small and medium-sized supermarkets should become the main format of the "Silk Road Supermarket", while private enterprises are more suitable as the main business entities of the "Silk Road Supermarket". Ma Longlong suggested that the government should encourage and guide domestic private supermarket enterprises to go out and build small and medium-sized supermarkets mainly engaged in daily necessities and fresh food in countries along the Belt and Road; The government has invested in the construction of transportation infrastructure and public welfare logistics and distribution centers in countries along the route, and introduced preferential policies for the import and export of goods to facilitate the supply of goods; Five Central Asian countries will be used as construction pilots, and when they are mature, they will be deployed to enter the markets of Turkey or other countries.

　　　　　　 CCTV News:Now, almost every household has broadband. Broadband is idle when we are not at home. If someone told you that these flows can be realized by renting out profits, would you be moved? Some time ago, Mr. Liu, a citizen of Yichang, Hubei Province, was moved by this way of making money, and it turned out that it was a scam.

　　　　　　 Some time ago, Mr. Liu from Yichang, Hubei was introduced, saying that if you rent the idle broadband traffic at home, you can get high cash back, but only if you rent the port of an APP first. So Mr. Liu invested 20 thousand yuan first.

　　　　　　 Victim Mr. Liu: "The rent of a node is 400 yuan a month, and then it can generate 20 yuan a day, which is 600 yuan a month, and you can earn 200 yuan by investing 400 yuan. Twenty thousand dollars bought fifty mouths, and then the twenty thousand dollars returned thousands of dollars. "

　　　　　　 After seeing the profit, Mr. Liu added investment again, but this time the cash back was delayed. He felt cheated and went to the police station to call the police. After receiving the police, the police immediately launched an investigation and found that this was a typical investment fraud case.

　　　　　　 Yang Zhou, a policeman from Xiling District Bureau of Yichang Public Security Bureau: "In the process of fraud, they actually pay back the money to the victims of the previous investment in proportion on a regular basis as promised, but they are actually waiting for an opportunity, that is, once there is a victim who invests a large amount at one time, the fish is hooked, and they will no longer pay back."

　　　　　　 According to the clues provided by the victim, the police locked three suspects in Anyang, Henan Province and arrested them. At the scene, 22 mobile phones, 31 phone cards and 1 computer involved were seized, and 240,000 yuan was recovered.

　　　　　　 After investigation, three suspects forged a set of apps with realized traffic and posted advertisements through multiple channels to attract victims’ investment.

　　　　　　 Zhang Junrui, a policeman from Xiling District Branch of Yichang Public Security Bureau, said: "This kind of network port (fraud) case is relatively new, and the fooled groups are all over the country."

　　　　　　 At present, three suspects have been criminally detained, and the number of deceived people and the amount involved are being further processed.

Putin is with his dog Kony.

In August, 2003, Putin rowed in the Altai mountain river.

Putin swims in the presidential residence on the outskirts of Moscow. The above three pictures are from Zhongxin.com.

　　Be content with a big fish in your hand

　　Russian media revealed the president’s personal life, and invited officials to eat kebabs and dogs to engage in diplomatic diving, attracting high-ranking officials to follow suit-

　　On April 21st, the Russian Communist Youth League Pravda published an article that revealed Putin’s little-known leisure life.

　　eat and drink

　　Please eat "presidential kebab"

　　"

　　During President Putin’s vacation, those government officials who met with him "semi-officially" did not always leave after the meeting. Sometimes, President Putin will leave them and treat them to a "light meal". In this case, a brazier will be set up in the courtyard of the "Bocharovo Creek" official residence where President Putin lives, and then everyone will sit around and eat grilled fish or kebabs.

　　Sometimes, vegetables, such as eggplant, tomatoes, peppers and onions, are added to the kebabs. In addition to the delicious "presidential kebabs", there will be delicious sour juice to drink. It is said that this is also what Putin particularly likes.

　　On one occasion, Putin hosted a security meeting in Sochi. After that, he took all the participants to the seaside restaurant adjacent to a disco, and the president went to the balcony with them, listening to the deafening disco music coming from next door and munching on delicious food. President Putin nodded at the ballroom and asked the others, "Do you want to try it?" But they didn’t go to the party in the end.

　　make merry

　　Take a break and have a good time.

　　Putin is a car lover, but what makes him feel depressed is that since he became president, he has rarely had the opportunity to drive in person, especially in Moscow, which is "forbidden". However, this is not difficult for the Russian president. He often drives his own car when he inspects his work in other places. Of course, for the sake of safety, bodyguards will always follow him.

　　Cultivate your dog to be a "diplomat"

　　Not long ago, Putin’s dog Kony became one of the "protagonists" in Russian media: when Putin accompanied the visiting Presidents of Belarus and Tajikistan for a walk, Kony obediently followed. It is reported that Putin deliberately brought Kony out, just to close the relationship with the two leaders.

　　Last year, Putin met with Kuchma, then president of Ukraine. When they were ready to start the talks, the dogs began to bark, and Putin had to go back and "appease" them. However, what everyone heard was: "Shut up!" The dogs immediately quieted down. Obviously, they knew who was the head of the family.

　　one’s favourite

　　A tour is 2000 meters.

　　Usually, President Putin gets up at 7: 30 in the morning. After getting up, his homework is swimming, and a trip is 2000 meters.

　　Last summer, Putin also mastered a new "underwater skill"-diving. It is worth mentioning that after learning about the president’s new hobby, senior government officials around him followed suit and learned to dive. In this way, if invited by the president, you can go to sea with him, which is undoubtedly good for your future development.

　　Although President Putin also likes alpine skiing, his men may not be willing to learn this sport. The reason is very simple, even if you learn it, you can’t show your skills in front of the president: because the president never takes anyone with him when skiing!

On November 18, 2023, the 21st Guangzhou International Automobile Exhibition ushered in the first professional audience day. ic photo

The Guangzhou Auto Show is the last large-scale auto show of the year, and it has naturally become the starting gun for the final battle of car companies at the end of the year.

This year’s Guangzhou Auto Show is still hot, and car companies have brought their blockbuster products and huge sales teams to the show. According to the organizers of the Guangzhou Auto Show, the total number of vehicles on display at this year’s Guangzhou Auto Show is 1,132, including 469 new energy vehicles.

It is worth noting that in the increasingly fierce competitive environment, car companies have accelerated the pace of new car launches in order to boost sales. There are as many as 59 cars in the world for the first time at this year’s Guangzhou Auto Show, and new car launches have been held intensively. Many brands have launched new blockbuster models, which will also add to the national auto market’s year-end impulse.

The competition for new products is intense, and price reduction is the main theme

New products have been an effective way for automakers to boost sales, especially in the first year of a new car’s launch. In the Chinese market, automakers have "rolled" the development cycle of new energy vehicles from the past five years or so to 48 months or even 36 months.

According to the organizers of the Guangzhou Auto Show, at this year’s Guangzhou Auto Show, there are as many as 59 cars in the world, including 8 first cars from multinational companies. In comparison, there were 38 cars in the world at last year’s Guangzhou Auto Show, including 9 first cars from multinational companies.

There are many models with high attention in the first car, such as BYD Ocean Network’s first medium-sized pure electric SUV, Hishi07 EV, Great Wall’s tank 700 Hi4-T, Huawei Hongmeng Cockpit 4.0-blessed Zhijie S7, Xiaopeng’s first MPV model X9, Li Auto’s first pure electric flagship model MEGA, and so on.

An employee of a car company participating in the exhibition told the surging news reporter, "This year’s Guangzhou Auto Show new car launches are so crowded that there are many overlapping parts in the same hall, and the leaders are simply selling cars at the top of their throats."

In addition, in this year’s model launch, it can be seen that car companies are cautious in pricing. The official price announced by many first models is lower than market expectations or lower than the price of previous generation models.

For example, the delivery price of Polaris 4 released by Polaris during the Guangzhou Auto Show was 299,900 yuan to 399,900 yuan. Compared with the price displayed at the Shanghai Auto Show in April, it decreased by about 50,000 yuan. It is not difficult to see from this price adjustment that in the face of competition in China’s new energy vehicle market, Polaris is eager to participate in it by reducing prices.

At the Guangzhou auto show, car companies have offered sincere discounts. Similarly, car company executives no longer give a negative or secretive attitude to the "price war".

"In addition to price, customer trust is also one of the factors to maintain brand competitiveness," Meng Xia, chief executive of Volkswagen’s passenger car brand in China, said at the auto show. "Volkswagen will not compete solely on price." He also said that in China, it is committed to providing consumers with excellent products at attractive prices, but not just reducing prices.

Volkswagen can be said to be the beneficiary of the price war in the car market. After launching a sharp price reduction of the pure electric ID family in July this year, the sales of the Volkswagen ID series soared. In particular, the Volkswagen ID.3 achieved a nearly four-fold increase in sales in the second month after the price reduction.

The car market has intensified, making it difficult for car companies to make money

Driven by a large number of new cars at the Guangzhou Auto Show, as well as price cuts and promotions by car companies, the auto market at the end of the year was generally optimistic.

The latest data from the Passenger Federation shows that from November 1st to 12th, the retail sales of the passenger car market was 538,000, an increase of 18% over the same period last year. The Passenger Federation believes that with the gradual strengthening of the car market, car companies are looking forward to working hard to achieve the annual target. The confidence of the car market is enhanced, and the year-on-year growth of the car market in November is expected to reach more than 20%.

The passenger association believes that this year’s car market can steadily reach the expected sales of 9 million vehicles in the whole year. Some institutions have also given more optimistic expectations.

Dongguan Securities believes that the fourth quarter is the traditional peak season of the automobile market, the national and local policies to promote the consumption of new energy vehicles are expected to continue to exert force, new products of car companies have been launched one after another, and at the same time, another round of price reduction promotions has been opened to stimulate further release of demand.

However, the increase in sales of new energy vehicles has not eased the current intense "involution", and the profitability problem is still a major problem plaguing car companies.

During the Guangzhou Auto Show, Zhuang Jingxiong, general manager of SAIC General Motors, was even more blunt, saying that selling new energy vehicles "is too embarrassing to say hello if you don’t lose money now."

Huatai Securities said in its latest research report that the auto industry discount rate has still been rising since November. The agency’s tracking data shows that the current average discount rate in the auto industry is 5.93%, compared with less than 3% in the same period last year. The latest data from the National Bureau of Statistics also showed that the price of new energy passenger vehicles fell by 4.6% year-on-year in October.

As competition in the auto market intensifies, the survival of the fittest in the industry is accelerating. Liu Jie, vice president of Li Auto’s business, said in an interview with The Paper and other media, "2023 to 2025 is the elimination stage of new energy vehicles. By the end of next year, the top few winners should have basically stabilized, and the new energy companies on the card table will further expand their market share in the later stage."

In fact, this year’s Guangzhou Auto Show has already seen the absence of many well-known brands, such as GAC Mitsubishi, which has just announced its withdrawal from the Chinese market, Weimaraner and Aichi, which are in business difficulties, and Dongfeng Peugeot Citroen, which launched a price war at the beginning of this year.

Recently, some netizens posted a Changan Mazda EZ-6 purchase invoice, showing that the purchased model is an EZ-6 pure electric BEV model, priced at 221,800 yuan. This information has triggered widespread discussion, and many people believe that as Changan Mazda’s first new energy product, especially as the only model in the joint venture B-class sedan market that provides range-extending power, this price is mostly true. And the arrival of this car may make no small waves in the market.

Judging from the pictures released, the invoice date for this car purchase is August 16, which is more than a month earlier than the pre-sale time. Normally, when a new car is launched, the car company has a complete time advancement process. For a joint venture car company like Changma, it is not surprising that both China and Japan need to make joint decisions and agree on the price 2 months in advance. In addition, although the invoice code and other sensitive information are coded, from the information of the invoicing party and the invoice seal of Changan Mazda Automobile Co., Ltd., this invoice does not look fake and is likely to be internally leaked. Therefore, the invoice itself is highly reliable and most likely reflects the true selling price of the EZ-6.

In fact, since the EZ-6 made its debut at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, it has quickly become the hottest car in the joint venture new energy field. The reason why it has attracted widespread attention both inside and outside the industry is that its design stands at the forefront of the joint venture new energy field, and on the other hand, the EZ-6 is the only model in the joint venture B-class car market that provides range extension power options, making up for the gap in the joint venture new energy in the range extension field.

In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the EZ-6 are 4921/1890/1485mm respectively, the wheelbase is 2895mm, and it adopts a frameless door and hatchback design. Although the shape is more new and energy-oriented, the through-type tail lights, four round gun downlights on both sides, can still see the shadow of Mazda’s classic design elements. In terms of power, according to the information currently exposed, the EZ-6 has two forms: pure electric and extended range, and adopts a rear-drive layout. The power parameters of the pure electric version are 190kW, while the extended range version uses the same 1.5-liter range extender, and the power parameters are exactly the same. In terms of battery life, according to the capacity of the battery pack, the cruising range of pure electric models is 480km and 600km respectively; a single charge and a tank of fuel for an extended range vehicle can achieve a long range of over 1300km.

In terms of smart configuration, the EZ-6 can be said to have everything. It is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon third-generation 8155 chip, 14.6-inch floating center control screen with full LCD instrument panel and AR-HUD head-up display system. In addition, this car also supports 180-degree panoramic chassis, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assistance and automatic parking functions. Even more surprising is that the EZ-6 also has luxury features such as rare Sony audio, 64-color ambient lights and zero-gravity seats.

If you look at the price comparison between the product and other models, the price of the EZ-6 is very reasonable. From the known information alone, the EZ-6 has already dumped a large part of the joint venture in terms of configuration. As a joint venture pure electric B-class car, compared with the same level of Tesla, the price of about 300,000, and the starting price of Volkswagen ID7 of 227,700 yuan, the EZ-6 pure electric version is only 221,800 yuan, which is quite competitive.

According to Mazda’s previous pricing strategy, it is expected that the final market price of the EZ-6 will fall between 18-240,000 yuan. If the pre-sale stage brings some preferential policies, then the existing joint venture new energy models on the market will face a lot of pressure. It is reported that the EZ-6 will start pre-sale on September 28 and officially go on sale at the end of October. Everything is waiting for the answer to be revealed.

This is certainly exciting news for potential owners and car enthusiasts. What do you think of the pricing and product configuration of Changan Mazda EZ-6? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section.

In 2024, Changan Automobile joined hands with industry giants such as Huawei and China Unicom to bring together the top digital transformation strategies and technical essence in the industry, and proudly built a 5G intelligent AI flexible super factory covering the whole area in Yubei District, Chongqing, that is, Changan Automobile Smart Factory, which aims to establish a "new model" in the field of intelligent manufacturing and showcase the cutting-edge achievements of intelligent exploration.

On the afternoon of July 19, the world’s first intelligent shape variable replacement model based on the SDA architecture (one car to many cars, travel to "SUV form", commute to "coupe form", load to "pickup truck form"), joined hands with the classic movie character Transformers in Changan Automotive Smart Factory. Through the live broadcast, Transformers and Changan Automotive engineers walked side by side, leading the audience to visit the six core areas of the final assembly workshop, painting line, welding area, stamping workshop, die casting center and battery manufacturing workshop, uncovering the mystery of the solid technology behind intelligent manufacturing layer by layer, and jointly witnessing and exploring the strong core competitiveness contained in Chinese manufacturing.

Future automotive intelligent manufacturing new highlands, exploring the six workshops of Changan Automobile Digital Intelligence Factory

The reason why Changan Automobile Numerical Intelligence Factory was given the exclusive mission of producing high-end Numerical Intelligence vehicles is not only due to Changan Automobile’s profound car-making heritage and experience accumulated over the past 40 years, but also its firm investment and unremitting innovation in the field of intelligent manufacturing, as well as its comprehensive embrace and deep integration of cutting-edge technology. This series of efforts have jointly built Changan Numerical Intelligence Factory’s unique advantages and core competitiveness in the field of high-end Numerical Intelligence automobile production.

In the initial chapter of automobile manufacturing, the stamping workshop played a crucial role. At present, the stamping workshop of Changan Shuizhi Factory stands out for its excellent level of automation. Its stamping production line has been fully automated. As a pioneer of Changan Automobile’s own brand, it is not only the first production line capable of controlling steel and aluminum mixed materials, but also shows extraordinary flexibility to easily cope with the production challenges of various materials such as steel and aluminum plates.

In order to ensure the excellent quality of stamped parts, the workshop introduced an innovative "online AI quality inspection + offline quality inspection" dual inspection system at the end of the stamping process. This system relies on advanced AI quality inspection algorithms deployed in the cloud, combined with industrial cameras trained by precision machine vision, to achieve all-round quality inspection and information recording of products in just one second, which greatly improves the inspection efficiency. At the same time, the application of edge algorithms is even more icing on the cake. It monitors hundreds of key quality control points in real time, ensuring the accuracy and timeliness of inspection, jointly promoting the automation process of the quality inspection process, and significantly improving the accuracy of quality inspection results.

After a comprehensive upgrade, the level of automation in the welding workshop has jumped to an unprecedented level, with more than 95% of the operation process being automated. In the workshop, 185 precision welding stations and 471 high-efficiency automated robots are distributed in an orderly manner. They work together, which not only significantly improves the precision of welding operations, but also further enhances the robustness of the body structure through the extensive use of innovative aluminum alloy riveting processes.

In particular, it is worth mentioning that in the pursuit of the ultimate strength of the body’s sidewall, the stamping workshop has adopted the industry’s leading integrated thermoforming technology, which has enabled the strength of the sidewall inner panel to achieve a qualitative leap. Compared with the ordinary car sidewall inner panel, its strength has been increased by 2-3 times.

It is the deep integration and application of this series of cutting-edge technologies that together create a new generation of safety body of Changan Qiyuan E07. This body makes a bold breakthrough in design, with the use of high-strength steel and aluminum alloys reaching more than 90%. Even key parts such as the car body and the front cover are made of all-aluminum alloy. This design is not only comparable to Tesla’s all-aluminum body design, but also has achieved remarkable results in vehicle lightweight, effectively reducing the weight of the vehicle, thereby improving fuel economy and handling performance. At the same time, the durability and safety of the body have also achieved a qualitative leap, providing drivers and passengers with a more solid and reliable safety guarantee.

Changan Shuizhi Factory leads the industry trend and takes the lead in establishing a unique fully automated flexible and unmanned die casting production workshop in China. The workshop integrates five core processes of melting, die casting, post-processing, machining and assembly, and is equipped with four top-class die casting machines weighing 7,700 tons. As a masterpiece of the factory, Changan Qiyuan E07 adopts the industry’s leading front and rear integrated die casting technology. This innovative process delicately integrates 163 components into two core parts. The die casting process takes only an astonishing 110 seconds, demonstrating unprecedented efficiency and integration capabilities.

It is particularly worth mentioning that Changan Shuizhi Factory has also pioneered a new die-casting process of "one mold and two pieces", which allows the flexible design of bumper parts and integrated die-casting parts, and achieves slow connection through ingenious mechanical structure. This design ingenuity ensures that the vehicle can effectively protect the integrated casting from damage in the event of a conventional collision, thereby greatly reducing the maintenance cost after the collision.

The in-depth application of integrated die-casting technology not only allows Changan Qiyuan E07 to achieve a significant reduction in vehicle weight, but also has a lighter curb weight of more than 100 kilograms compared to Model X. This lightweight achievement gives the vehicle more agile handling performance and positive response speed. At the same time, the torsional stiffness and bending stiffness of the vehicle have also been significantly improved by 24% and 23% respectively, and the collision energy absorption efficiency has jumped by 54%. These outstanding performances together ensure that Changan Qiyuan E07 can easily meet the stringent requirements of the upcoming 2024 version of the C-NCAP five-star safety standard, bringing users an unprecedented safe driving experience.

The painting workshop of Changan Shuizhi Factory, as an art palace of automobile beauty and protection, has introduced the first water-based environmentally friendly 3C2B process coating line in China through its innovation, which is undoubtedly another milestone in the green transformation of the automotive industry. This technological innovation has not only deeply improved the quality boundary of products, but also set a new benchmark in the field of environmental protection. Through the unique "three sprays and two dryers" process, compared with the simple "three coats and one bake" of the traditional 3C1B model, the pass rate of painting has achieved a qualitative leap, and the key performance indicators of car paints – adhesion, corrosion resistance, film hardness and durability – have been enhanced as never before, ensuring that vehicles can still show a lasting and gorgeous luster in extreme environments.

It is particularly worth mentioning that Changan Shuizhi Factory’s persistent pursuit of environmentally friendly materials. The water-based coatings used have greatly reduced environmental pollution due to their low VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions, and actively responded to the global call for low-carbon environmental protection. This gentle treatment of nature is a manifestation of Changan Automobile’s sense of responsibility as an industry leader.

In addition, the gluing ISS robot and LASD robot configured in the painting workshop are the bright pearls of intelligent production. With its micron-level accuracy, the ISS extrusion robot has completely bid farewell to the possible flaws in the era of manual extrusion, ensuring the flawless gluing process. The liquid damping glue used by the LASD robot has shown extraordinary strength in sound insulation and heat insulation, creating a quiet and comfortable private space for passengers, making every trip a pleasant journey of body and mind.

Changan Qiyuan E07, as the master of this series of advanced craftsmanship, satisfies consumers’ pursuit of personalization with its colorful 7 body colors. At the scene, the first-time users witnessed the extraordinary charm of the latest off-line matte car paint vehicles. The unique texture and luster instantly ignited their enthusiasm, and they were deeply attracted by this masterpiece that combines technology and aesthetics.

The "Golden Bell Jar Battery" carried by Changan Qiyuan E07, its birthplace – the battery workshop, is undoubtedly a bright pearl in Changan Shuizhi Factory.

The Buick Envision Plus has performed well in the mid-size SUV market, selling 3,635 units last month, and if the price of the new entry-level model is a surprise, it is expected to increase sales.

On August 24, 2022, the "Windless Aerobic TAN Origin Traceability – 2022-2023 China Air Conditioning Industry Summit Forum" was held in Harbin under the guidance of China Household Appliances Association and sponsored by China Home Appliances Network.CC,Haier, Highly,Hisense, Kelon, Konka, Leader, Meibo,beautiful,Panasonic,TCLRepresentatives of mainstream household air-conditioning brands and core component manufacturers, as well as forumsexclusivechannel partnerJD.comHome appliances, data support agency GfK Zhongyikang, etc. gathered together to talk "double carbon"The innovative development and mission of the air-conditioning industry under the goal."

High temperature "heating" air conditioner market

Although autumn has begun, many places in China are still under high temperature during the "end" stage of the "dog days".How to cool the body and the heart? The air conditioner is obviouslymostA good choice. Therefore, in the "roasting" mode, refrigeration appliances represented by air conditioners ushered in a high-temperature "hot period" in July and August. According to GfK Zhongyikang monitoring data, the retail sales and retail sales of air conditioners in the online market in July increased by 41.6% and 44.6% year-on-year respectively. Entering August, the retail sales and retail sales of air conditioners in the online market in the past two weeks increased by 76.0% and 79.4% year-on-year respectively; the offline market volume and volume also achieved a year-on-year growth of over 20%. Such asbeautiful,HaierOaks,Hisense, Kelon,TCL,PanasonicMany air-conditioning companies, such as Meibo, Changhong, and Konka, have reported to China State Grid that during the peak air-conditioning season in the past two months, there are many high-temperature days and a wide range of coverage, and the sales of the company’s air-conditioning products have increased significantly compared with before. "The installation masters are running at full capacity," said the relevant person in charge of the air-conditioning company.

However, the staged bright performance of the air conditioner market is in sharp contrast to the cold industry in the first half of the year and even the entire 2022 cold year. According to GfK Zhongyikang data, in the first half of this year, the retail volume and retail sales of the household air conditioner market decreased by 20.1% and 14.1% respectively year-on-year; in the whole 2022 cold year, the retail volume and retail sales of the air conditioner market were 43.57 million units and 150.50 billion yuan, respectively, down 15.0% and 9.2% year-on-year. "The economic downturn and epidemic directly affect the income level of consumers, so the consumer confidence index decreased year-on-year." In the opinion of Peng Xiandong, general manager of GfK Zhongyikang’s large home appliance division, this directly affects consumers’ expectations for the home appliance market and the execution of purchasing power. The corresponding air conditioner is also affected and has declined significantly. In addition, air conditioners have further entered the existing market, with less new demand. Based on this, Peng Xiandong judged that the air conditioner industry will enter a low-speed era in the next two years, with incremental scarcity. The market core will shift from the pursuit of scale to the pursuit of quality.

Peng Xiandong, General Manager of GfK Zhongyikang Home Appliances Division

Wang Lei, secretary-general of the China Household Appliances Association, also believes that this is the result of multiple factors. Including the repeated regional epidemics across the country in the first half of the year, which put pressure on the industrial supply chain and had a negative impact on the demand for air conditioners; in addition, the real estate industry is also a factor strongly related to the demand for air conditioners; furthermore, the more important objective factor is that the popularity of household air conditioners has basically reached a high level. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the number of air conditioners owned by 100 households in China reached 117.7 units by the end of 2020, of which 149.6 were owned by 100 households in cities and towns. " At present, the social stock of air conditioners in the country has reached 540 million units, and the stock update has become the main body of current and future market consumption demand. This has a direct and long-term impact on the size of the air conditioner market. "

Seeking "new" kinetic energy under the stock

When the industry enters a new development stage dominated by "stock replacement", in terms of the external operating environment, as analyzed by Wei Lai, Chief Research Officer of Zijin Tianfeng Futures, raw material prices, which account for more than 85% of the cost of air conditioners, are getting rid of the traditional cyclical framework and reshaping into a new cycle, corresponding to the reshaping of the cyclical characteristics of air conditioners at both ends of cost and consumption. Under the characteristics of the new cycle, the market prospect of air conditioners is still broad, but it needs to seek new growth momentum inward.

So, where is the new way to break the growth? Perhaps, as described by Wang Lei and various air-conditioning companies – intelligently empowered, more energy-saving, comfortable, healthy, and high-end air conditioners will bring more enthusiasm and demand from consumers, and will also bring impetus to the technological progress and product innovation of the air-conditioning industry and industry. Recent consumer street research by China Home Appliance Network also shows that price is no longer the main factor in determining consumers to buy air conditioners. When considering "replacing" air conditioners, most consumers focus on products with more energy-saving, intelligent, comfortable, healthy and other functional characteristics. Such as fresh air conditioners, global windless air conditioners, washing air conditioners, sterilization health, self-cleaning air conditioners, sleep air conditioners, etc. are all their favorite products.

The change in consumer demand is reflected in the retail end, according to GfK Zhongyikang data, 2022 cold year, the new level of energy efficiency air conditioning sales in the online channel accounted for about 67.9%, the proportion of offline reached 78.7%; fresh air air conditioning online penetration rate of about 2.3%, an increase of 283%, offline penetration rate of about 6.7%, an increase of 59.5%. JD.com platform data also shows that in the first half of the year, the turnover of JD.com platform fresh air conditioners was 5.5 times that of the same period last year, and fresh air conditioners also showed characteristics higher than the broader market by 32%; during the "618" period, the turnover of JD.com platform fresh air conditioners increased by 460% year-on-year; JD.com home appliances "815" anniversary peak period of 28 hours, the turnover of fresh air conditioners increased by more than 4 times year-on-year. " The JD.com platform always takes consumer demand as the first starting point. "Zhang Yiming, marketing director of JD.com’s home appliance air conditioner business department, said that through active market research, JD.com home appliances and various air conditioner brands work closely together, with the same perspective. They all believe that the new air conditioner in the new product may be the next growth point of the industry." Combined with the trend of purification and health, the increase in fresh air volume will be more suitable for the needs of life scenes. "

At the enterprise level, it can be seen that more air-conditioning companies are also launching products with corresponding functions or even complex functions through technological innovation to meet the diverse, personalized and quality consumer needs of consumers. Taking Casarte air conditioners as an example, at the meeting, Yan Bo, general manager of Casarte air conditioners, introduced that due to the different air pain points faced by different climates and seasons, Casarte innovatively launched the luxury version of Yunding air conditioners. "The positioning of this product is’original ecological air maintenance expert ‘, hoping to achieve the maintenance of people, the maintenance of the environment, and the maintenance of high-end lifestyles through air conditioning. Overall, what we want to do is to pass on the high-end, comfort and wisdom of Casarte air conditioners to consumers."

Midea air conditioners are also working to increase the average price of the entire industry through air conditioner products that highlight health, comfort, and intelligence. Oaks, Hisense, TCL, Konka, Panasonic and other related air conditioning brands are focusing on the fresh air track, such as Oaks launched a four-season fresh air air conditioner that can change fresh oxygen in the whole house for 1 hour, Hisense launched a high-end air environment from six dimensions such as temperature, humidity, wind feeling, purification, etc. Brilliant C200, TCL launched a small blue wing II with a large fresh air volume of 60 cubic meters per hour without secondary wall punching holes, Konka launched a smart fresh air conditioner with dual-drive hybrid fresh air system, Panasonic Anchor Health and Smart launched a series of alcohol air, etc. They all meet consumers’ needs for a healthier and more comfortable home life experience through differentiated fresh air conditioners. Kelon Air Conditioning customizes more convenient, comfortable and healthy sleep solutions for users by creating smart sleep air scenes. In addition to home split machines, Meibo Air Conditioning has found sub-sectors such as wearable air conditioners and vehicle air conditioners to seek differentiation. Changhong Air Conditioning has built a healthy living atmosphere for consumers through the creation of a fresh environment with years of accumulation of dust-free technology.

As a company specializing in thermal management and environmental control, Invik has accumulated rich technical experience in the field of precision environmental control. Wang Xiangdong, general manager of Shenzhen Invik Health and Environment Technology Co., Ltd., believes that at present, "health" should be the main breakthrough in air conditioning innovation. In this regard, EBC Yingbao advocates "safe and healthy comfort is the real comfort", and advocates fundamentally solving the comfort problem of the air environment under the premise of safety and health, and is a one-machine solution to the air environment problem. "Our air environment machine adjusts or removes the temperature, humidity, cleanliness, various pollutants, microorganisms and other indicators of the air environment dynamically, harmoniously and synchronously through multi-dimensional phase control technology, and is committed to providing customers with a safe, healthy and comfortable air environment."

It can be seen that the product evaluation dimension based on factors such as energy conservation, health, and comfort is becoming the core driving force for the reform and upgrading of China’s air-conditioning supply side. Therefore, the three major product trends in the air conditioning industry in 2023 proposed at the summit forum, namely the "energy-saving" product trend represented by Midea Xuanyao 2-horse hanging machine, Oxmos Fresh Air Pro air conditioner, Kelong Sleeping Small Ear LZ air conditioner, and Meibo Xinxinpai intelligent AI voice air conditioner; the "comfort" product trend represented by Casarte connoisseur air conditioner system, COLMO TURING household central air conditioner, Hisense Bright series fresh air conditioner, Konka smart fresh air conditioner, and Commander BIGGER air curtain air conditioner; and the "health" product trend represented by Haier washing air cabinet hanging air conditioner, EBC Yingbao pure air environment machine, Panasonic alcohol air conditioner, and Changhong guest restaurant shared air conditioner, which has been highly recognized and affirmed by the guests and industry colleagues They all anticipate that these three major product trends will become a new engine for the growth of the air conditioning industry in the upcoming 2023 new cold year.

"Double carbon" engine drives green and high-quality development

In fact, whether it is the driving effect of extreme weather on air-conditioning consumption, or the pursuit of new energy conservation, health, and comfort at the enterprise level under the leadership of stock replacement, it can be made clear that changes in the environment, market changes, and demand are forcing air-conditioning enterprises to step up innovation and development, transformation and upgrading, and also put forward new and higher requirements for the high-quality development of the air-conditioning industry, that is, the air-conditioning industry and enterprises should be socially responsible and consumer-responsible enterprises and products.

According to the IEA report, the global energy-related CO2 emissions in 2018 were about 34.20 billion tons, of which the global energy consumption of air conditioners and fans accounted for about 3.8% of CO2 emissions. It is expected that by 2050, the energy demand for space cooling will increase more than threefold. There is no doubt that the green and low-carbon transformation of the air conditioning industry is imperative.

But objectively speaking, the green and low-carbon development of the air-conditioning industry still faces no small challenges. "For the refrigeration and air-conditioning industry, under the background trend of’dual carbon ‘, the biggest challenge is that the reduction of HFCs conventional refrigerants may bring corresponding quota problems, which may directly affect the operation of an enterprise." Li Tingxun, an associate professor at Sun Yat-sen University, believes that the future control of HFCs consumption, production or quota management may directly impact the development of the air-conditioning industry. So, how can the air-conditioning industry achieve carbon emission reduction? In Li Tingxun’s opinion, on the one hand, it is necessary to improve energy efficiency. At present, the energy efficiency of air-conditioners has increased by 15%, and it may increase by another 15% in the future by 2030. On the other hand, based on the carbon emissions directly caused by refrigerants, it is necessary to choose and develop more environmentally friendly refrigerant alternatives. In this regard, the only sure opportunity is that low GWP refrigerants will have a large application in the future. In addition, materials, production, transportation, warehousing and other links will also directly or indirectly lead to carbon emissions, so air-conditioning related companies also pay attention to the carbon emission reduction of the whole life cycle of air-conditioning products.

"Compared with other manufacturing industries, I personally think the energy saving and carbon reduction of the home appliance industry has advantages." Xie Nanan, director of the environmental and dual-carbon business department of the General Technology Inspection and Testing Group, analyzed that the reason is that the home appliance industry has implemented the trade-in policy more fully, and the improvement of energy efficiency of home appliances is to reduce energy consumption from the source. In addition, the intelligence of home appliances is a systematic improvement, which is to consider the improvement of energy efficiency from an overall perspective. In addition, there is still more room for expansion in the green and low-carbon transformation of the home appliance industry, such as the control role of the supply chain, energy consumption in the production process, energy structure adjustment, and non-carbon dioxide greenhouse gas emission reduction of refrigerants such as HFCs, which are worthy of attention and active promotion by home appliance companies such as air conditioners.

As Li Tingxun and Xie Nanan said, energy efficiency is only one part of low carbon, and to maximize carbon reduction, it is necessary to go through the whole life cycle of air-conditioning products. In this regard, more and more air-conditioning companies, including Midea, Haier, Oaks, and Hisense, have begun to focus on promoting green and low-carbon transformation at the manufacturing level or within the whole life cycle of air-conditioning products. Take Midea as an example. In 2021, Midea Group officially released a green strategy, focusing on six pillars: green design, green procurement, green manufacturing, green logistics, green recycling, and green services, to build a whole-process green industrial chain. " Among them, green design is the leader and traction of the entire green strategy. "Li Jinbo, director of the development center of Midea’s Air Conditioning Innovation Research Institute, said that in recent years, Midea’s air conditioners have accumulated rich technical and product innovation practices in green design. In terms of green technology, it has continued to lay out in environmental protection refrigerant technology, global ultra-high energy efficiency technology, new generation refrigeration technology, and cold storage and heat storage technology." Midea’s air conditioners will continue to expand the supply of green products through technological innovation, product innovation, and standard guidance, to meet the growing needs of users for a better life, and to promote the green and low-carbon transformation of the whole industry. "

Compressor companies, which are the core products of the upstream supply chain of air conditioners, are also actively promoting the green transformation of the industrial chain. For example, CMCC mentioned that building a green industrial chain and promoting the green design of parts and components, including miniaturization and low noise, are all future development directions of GMCC. Haili compressor also said that whether it is from environmentally friendly refrigerant substitution, energy efficiency improvement, including flattening and miniaturization, Haili compressor has always been serving the air conditioning industry and continues to move forward around the green and low-carbon development direction.

It is worth mentioning that at the meeting, Wang Lei and Lv Shenghua, editor-in-chief of China Home Appliances Network, led all the air-conditioning-related enterprises and industry guests to issue the "Green Energy-saving Air Conditioning Replacement Initiative" to the air-conditioning industry – actively responding to the national "double carbon" strategy and the 2022 National Home Appliance Consumption Season activities to promote the quality of green smart air conditioners, increase varieties, and create brands; industry organizations, upstream and downstream industries give full play to their respective advantages to promote a new round of "trade-in" and "home appliances to the countryside" work, promote the upgrade of air-conditioning consumption in an orderly manner, and continue to lead the trend of quality, greening, and intelligence of air-conditioning consumption. This move undoubtedly further sounded the clarion call for the green and low-carbon
