High-end Interview with Shanghai Auto Show On April 19, the 19th Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition with the theme of "Embracing Change" opened. In the high-end interview room opened by Easy Car, Auto Sankei interviewed Xu Yun, vice president of Krypton Intelligent Technology.
In the face of profound changes in the automotive industry, such as electrification, intelligence, networking and enjoyment, independent brands have successively launched brand-new electric vehicle brands, impacting the high-end market. A brand-new smart electric vehicle brand jointly invested by Geely Automobile and Geely Holding Group also appeared at the auto show.
Facing another wave of new energy vehicles, Xu Yun said, "More and more people have joined the smart electric industry, and more wisdom has come in, which has accelerated the process of the whole industry. Although it has brought competition, in general, it will promote the continuous improvement of the technical level by constantly tapping the needs of users, and ultimately benefit consumers. "
The following is an interview record:
Automobile sankei: Hello, Mr. Xu, you know a lot about technology. Please ask this question first. What are the core technology preparations for the core technology bottleneck of the new energy industry?
Xu Yun: There are two main parts. First, there are three power systems. Polar krypton 00 1 adopts polar battery pack, which has several characteristics: high safety and high capacity.
Safety means no fire or puncture. We thought a lot, and even sacrificed a part of our production capacity for safety, but it did dispel customers' doubts. In terms of motors, the power density is very high and the efficiency is very high.
In terms of intelligence, our goal of creating autonomous driving is not to make users feel nervous, but to give users a safe driving experience. To this end, we not only pay attention to computing power, but also introduce a brand-new "bone recognition" based on the platform of cross-vision system fusion algorithm. In terms of autonomous driving, we will gradually form the full-stack self-developed ability, including chips and algorithms.
Automobile production: what are the advantages of krypton 00 1 in pure electric structure?
Xu Yun: The first one is Yan value. Based on the high bandwidth advantage provided by the vast architecture, the configuration of Krypton 00 1 is not limited by the power layout of traditional fuel vehicles. You can see the exhibition car in the booth. Its tires extend as far as possible to the four corners, and its posture is beautiful. Special coordination before and after. We positioned him as a luxury hunting sports car.
Coupled with the development advantages of the vast architecture SEA OS software layer, it gives us many possibilities for evolution, and we can constantly make the experience better according to the needs of users.
In addition to these, krypton 00 1 brings a very good driving experience. Pole-controlled digital chassis technology can maximize application scenarios. It can not only bring extremely high extreme driving performance, but also provide comfortable travel space for the whole family.
Why are we positioned as a luxury hunting coupe? We hope it can be used as both a car and an SUV to meet the needs of users.
Automobile sankei: Therefore, the usage scenario is still very comprehensive. In what ways does Krypton 00 1 surpass the concept car?
Xu Yun: From the appearance of the concept car last year to the release of the production car a few days ago, we collected a lot of user feedback, including fans, news comments on the Internet and messages under the official account. All these users' real worries and expectations also point out the direction for our evolution. Generally speaking, Krypton 00 1 vehicle * * * has achieved 342 evolutions, including acceleration, braking, handling, endurance and even the improvement of energy efficiency, which is almost unimaginable in the organizational structure of traditional automobile enterprises, and this evolutionary ability is its core competitiveness.
Automobile sankei: Since we are talking about batteries, can you introduce the krypton battery pack? How safe is it? What are the advantages?
Xu Yun: First of all, the polar battery has a large capacity. At present, the actual discharge capacity 100 kWh is still very large.
Another is collision avoidance. We integrated the global superior resources, stood on the shoulders of giants, and built a 360-degree battery safety protection system for Krypton 00 1. Whether it is small-angle frontal collision, side collision, column collision under various working conditions, or spherical bottom support. Fully consider making the passive safety of electric vehicles more impeccable.
At the same time, we also jointly developed the "no fire" technology with contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Ltd., which can realize millisecond battery flash-off, breakdown without open flame and high temperature without spreading, and ensure battery safety from the inside.
Automobile production and sales: In addition to safety, there is another problem that consumers are most worried about, that is, the cruising range in winter. Do we have any measures in this regard?
Xu Yun: A lot of consideration has been given to the endurance of users' cars in winter. Direct-heating heat pump is the standard of Krypton 00 1 all systems, which can directly and quickly convert air heat energy. In efficiency, it is higher than indirect heat pump and PTC electric heater. This technology is also the best means in the industry.
There are many other technologies for different energy needs in different scenarios. For example, in winter, the battery life can be extended by intelligent air conditioners, such as detecting how many people are in the passenger compartment of a car, monitoring the air quality, and judging whether it will fog. On the premise of ensuring safety and comfort, the intelligent control system can provide as little cold air as possible into the passenger compartment, which is a refined energy management scheme. Also, if users use private charging, before departure, the electricity outside the car will heat your passenger compartment and the battery pack at the same time, so as to keep the energy and air conditioning system in the best condition and improve efficiency. In a word, we have equipped krypton space 00 1 with many efficient solutions specifically for winter travel.
Automobile production: This year, Xiaomi, Zhizao, Baidu, Didi, Apple and other technology giants have officially announced to build cars. How to treat another wave of new energy vehicles?
Xu Yun: OK, I am very excited, and I believe you are also very excited. More and more people join the intelligent electrical industry, and more wisdom will accelerate the progress of the whole industry. Although it brings competition, on the whole, it will promote the continuous progress of technical level by constantly tapping the needs of users, and ultimately benefit consumers.
Automobile sankei: What is Krypton's current position in the competition of pure electric track?
Xu Yun: It's hard to say. Let's just say that we are open-minded and open-minded. We hope we can exceed users' expectations.
Today's users are different from the past. They are willing to participate and express many opinions on automobile products. More wisdom can be absorbed by us and help us to promote the progress of our products, which is very important for krypton.
Automobile production: it is a cooperative relationship with users.
Xu Yun: Yes, every user is a smart person. The more people give you opinions, the mainstream views will be formed, which will make us more aware of what we really need.
Compared with before, krypton users are no longer bystanders of products, they will provide very real feedback, which is very good for us.
As I said before, from concept to product, there are many users' voices, including pricing. So many users can always find deja vu on Krypton 00 1, which is a product that everyone wants.
Of course, we will continue to establish more user contacts and close the distance with users. There are social platforms, the help of the media and even our direct selling system, which have narrowed the distance between us and users.
Automobile sankei: expect to sell like krypton and launch like a rocket. Thank you for your support!
