Of course, there are also many people who are dissatisfied, especially laymen who talk about sales. So why can Chery, which has a poor sales volume, still serve as a benchmark? Listen to me slowly.
(1) platform independently developed by Chery. After years of technology accumulation, Chery finally developed T 1X(SUV platform), M 1X (car platform), M3X (high-end car platform) and pure electric vehicle platform. Independent development of the platform is not a simple matter, which requires very deep technical accumulation and huge capital investment. At present, Chery is the only domestic car platform that is completely independently developed, instead of copying foreign car platforms. What are the advantages of having your own platform? Platform, engine and gearbox are the core technologies of automobiles. The reason why we lag behind foreign brands is precisely because the core technology is not as good as others, and it will be constrained everywhere. For example, an SUV developed by a brand imitating the old RAV4 chassis has the reputation of "pig's large intestine" because it is impossible to modify the exhaust pipe layout, which makes this writing very awkward. Why can't I change the layout? Because it is not its own platform and does not master the core technology, it will have serious consequences if it is not changed well. It's different to have your own platform. Each data is designed by yourself, and the layout can be adjusted according to your own plan. Platformization is the future development direction and the only way for independent brands to go up.
Building a car on one platform can quickly develop new models. Most parts of cars produced on the same platform can be used universally, thus greatly reducing the cost of making cars and bringing tangible benefits to end consumers.
(2) Chery's engine. Different from other brands, Chery did not adopt Japanese Mitsubishi engine from the beginning, but took the road of producing its own engine. As early as 2003, Chery produced its own engine, model 480, which was carried on the old wind and cloud. Of course, its performance is far less than Mitsubishi engine, but it has achieved a breakthrough in its own brand engine. After that, Chery developed the second generation engine, and the 1.5T EFI that is still in production is the second generation product. 1.5T EFI engine is equipped with a variety of models, which is durable and fuel-efficient, which proves Chery's superior technical strength. Among the third generation engines, 1.6T engine caused a sensation as soon as it came out. 1.6T is divided into low power version and high power version. For some reason, the high-power version was not actually loaded. At present, Tiggo 8, Gateway X90 and Starway are all low-power versions equipped with 1.6T engine. Even the low-power version has surpassed the engines of many joint venture vehicles, which is almost equal to BMW's 2.0T, and Chery's 2.0T direct injection machine has been off the assembly line, is undergoing road test, and may be officially loaded soon.
(3) All models of Chery meet the national six B standards. In today's increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements, the introduction of the national six standards really tore off the fig leaf of many brands. When the tide goes out, we will know who is swimming naked. Chery has achieved the national six standard without reducing the cylinder of all models, which is the most stringent national six B. It is also rumored that Chery participated in the formulation of the national six standard.
(4) Chery's patent. China Automotive Technology and Research Center released the ranking of "20 19 Automotive Patent Innovation Index", and Chery ranked in the top three in the overall innovation index of the enterprise and ranked first in the field of intelligent networking. Chery has made great achievements in core technical fields such as engine power technology, platform technology, new energy, intelligent network connection and autonomous driving technology. Chery applied for patents 17889, and was granted patents 1 1532, ranking among the top in China automobile industry, forming a strong intellectual property reserve. Although the number of patents is important, the quality of patents can best reflect the gold content of patented technology. In this regard, Chery ranks first with far-reaching advantages.
So I think Chery is the most potential Huawei in the automobile industry, and I hope Chery can make persistent efforts.
