Up to now, the news will include Land Rover Defender and the new Kia K5 Kaiku? , Mercedes-Benz new GLA, Wuling Hong Guang MINI? EV will announce the pre-sale price or be officially listed during Chengdu Auto Show.
In addition, I want to know what is worth paying attention to this week and next week. Let's take a look at the details of this issue of "Car Circle of the Week".
New energy vehicles go to the countryside to launch activities
On July 15, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce jointly issued the Notice on Launching New Energy Vehicles to the Countryside. According to the requirements of the Notice, China Automobile Industry Association (hereinafter referred to as "China Automobile Association") will be entrusted to organize and implement the activities of new energy vehicles going to the countryside from July to February, 2020, and participate in 10 companies and models 16.
Specifically, this activity of new energy vehicles going to the countryside was organized by Beijing New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd. (Beiqi New Energy EC3), Great Wall Automobile Co., Ltd. (Great Wall Euler R 1 and Euler IQ) and SAIC-GM-Wuling Automobile Co., Ltd. (Baojun E 100, E200；; Hong Guang Mini EV), Chongqing changan new energy automobile co., ltd. (changan benben e star), Chery new energy automobile technology co., ltd. (Chery EQ 1), Anhui jianghuai automobile group co., ltd. (jianghuai i EV? 6E), BYD Co., Ltd. (BYD Yuan, E 1, E2,), Dongfeng Motor Group Co., Ltd. (New Energy EX 1), FAW Pentium Car Co., Ltd. (Pentium E0 1), Zhejiang New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd. (Nezha N0 1).
View of vehicle industry: Under the background that the country encourages automobile consumption, the rural market is becoming a "blue ocean". Judging from the consumption of new energy vehicles, the current electric vehicle market and charging pile layout are mainly concentrated in first-and second-tier cities. For the rural environment at this stage, it is very suitable for installing private charging piles.
From the price point of view, the products going to the countryside are mainly low-end models, which are basically below 654.38+ 10,000 yuan. SAIC-GM-Wuling brand new Hong Guang MINI? EV, even less than 30 thousand yuan. According to the news of China Automobile Association in July 15, the specific preferential scheme is still being worked out, with an estimated preferential range of 2,000-8,000 yuan. After adding the discount, the threshold for rural residents to buy a car is further reduced.
Baojun Automobile was named by the 3 15 Party because of the gearbox problem.
Affected by the epidemic, this year's "March 15" party was postponed to July 16. Among them, SAIC-GM-Wuling automobile was named because of some problems in its Baojun 560 gearbox.
It is reported that some owners of Baojun 560 have frequently turned off their engines during driving, and SAIC-GM-Wuling Automobile has also recalled some vehicles, but the recall has not completely solved the problem of gearbox failure. More than one owner reported that the gearbox failure of his Baojun car appeared repeatedly in several years, and even after the recall, the above problems were not completely solved. Faced with the problem, the solution given by the 4S shop is to replace the gearbox, and some cars that have changed the gearbox once or even many times still have problems.
SAIC-GM-Wuling Motor subsequently responded to this incident, saying in a statement: This CCTV report is about165438+19680 Baojun 560 produced from June 29th, 2007 to June 30th, 2007. DCT？ 1.5T In order to effectively solve the doubts of these vehicle users, some vehicles have set up a "Baojun 560DCT exclusive hotline", which is communicated and serviced by a special person, and promised to be responsible for the product quality problems encountered by users at all costs.
Automobile industry point of view: CCTV host's comments at the 3 15 party were impressive: "The purpose of implementing the defective automobile recall system is to make automobile manufacturers take responsibility. Once quality or safety hazards are discovered, they must be completely solved to safeguard consumers' rights and interests. However, while we see these car manufacturers shirking, we also find that they regard the recall system as a fig leaf to delay time and cover up problems. "
In recent years, the recall system of the automobile industry has been continuously improved, and the recall of automobile products has become more frequent, but few people pay attention to the follow-up situation of the recall. The problems that have not been solved since the recall of Baojun Automobile are exposed. After the recall, did the manufacturer solve the defects of those products? This is a problem that needs the attention of the industry. At the same time, I also hope that the manufacturers who survived this 3 15 party can take a warning in the future and don't wait until they are exposed to solve problems for consumers.
Dongfeng brand new high-end electric brand Bluebird
On July 17, Dongfeng Group announced the Chinese name of its brand-new high-end electric brand-Lan Tu, and the brand-new LOGO also made its debut. According to the official, Lan Tu's homophonic "blueprint" means beautiful planning and prospects; "Lan" is the mountain wind, representing pure nature, and "Tu" is the blueprint for planning new things, representing a better life.
It is reported that Lan Tu Automotive Technology Co., Ltd. and Lan Tu Brand were announced at the same time, and they will adopt a new logo and operate completely independently, not affiliated with any subsidiary of Dongfeng Group. The new company will adopt a brand-new strategy, a brand-new organizational system, a brand-new business model and a brand-new team, and a brand-new management team will also make its debut at this brand launch conference.
In addition, Lan Tu will continue to use Dongfeng Renault's factory in Wuhan and transform it. The annual production capacity of the factory is 6.5438+0.5 million vehicles and 50,000 engines. According to the previous information, Lan Tu brand has planned 9 models, covering SUV, MPV and other market segments. The first model is scheduled to be put into production on 202 1.
View of vehicle industry: At present, Dongfeng Company has four China brands: Fengshen, Scenery, Fashion and Qichen. The prices of most products of these four brands are below 6.5438+0.5 million yuan, while Lan Tu brand is aimed at the high-end market.
But in recent years, many domestic car companies have tried to launch high-end brands, but up to now, only WEY and LECK have achieved good market sales. At present, driven by consumption upgrading, people's demand for car purchase has changed, and consumer demand is concentrated on high-end products. The future development of Lan Tu brand is full of challenges and opportunities.
After the merger of PSA and FCA, the new group was named STELLANTIS.
This week, Fiat Chrysler (FCA) announced its new group name-Stellantis after merging with PSA Group on its social platform.
According to the FCA, "STELLANTIS" evolved from the Latin verb "stello", which means "light with stars". This large-scale brand-new merger project integrates many long-established automobile brands under the two groups and the strong corporate culture of both sides; At the same time, the unique values and respective brands of the merged parties will also be preserved and continued.
In addition, "STELLANTIS" will be used exclusively as the official group name of the merged new group. The next step will be to release the company logo of the new group. The name and Logo logo of the new group will constitute the corporate brand logo of the new group. After the merger, all sub-brands of the new group will continue to use their existing brand names and brand logos.
Automotive industry point of view: PSA and FCA will become the fourth largest car company in the world after the merger. However, since the two sides signed a comprehensive merger agreement last year, the merger has not progressed smoothly. On the contrary, it was investigated by anti-monopoly agencies, and the global automobile sales of the two major groups fell sharply under the epidemic. According to the plan, the merger of the two enterprises will be formally completed in the first quarter of 20021year. Can the two sides successfully complete the merger and "light up the automobile industry" as the newly announced group naming means? Let's wait and see.
