ESP system includes ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) and ASR (Anti-Side Slip System), which are the functional extensions of these two systems. Therefore, ESP can be regarded as the most advanced form of automobile anti-skid device at present. ESP is particularly sensitive to oversteer or understeer. For example, when a car turns left and oversteers (turns too fast), it will flick its tail to the right. When the sensor senses the slip, it will quickly brake the right front wheel to restore its adhesion and generate the opposite torque to keep the car in the original lane. Of course, there is a limit to everything. If the driver drives too fast blindly, it will be difficult to keep any existing safety devices. .
In fact, in foreign countries, passenger cars sold in China by various countries are basically equipped with ESP systems, such as Fit made in Japan, Santana made by Volkswagen and Elantra made by Hyundai. Cars made by foreigners pay great attention to safety, and many countries regard ESP as the industry standard, that is, cars without ESP system are not allowed to be listed.
However, when these foreigners transferred their production technology to us, they did not bring their industry standards. In addition, due to the backward domestic economy, the current industry standards have not reached the foreign level. As a result, a large number of joint venture vehicles have no ESP system. The signal given by this situation is that China people's lives are not important, and China people are proud. As long as they have a car, it is best to have a joint venture car. Also, the price of each joint venture car includes about 30% of the technology transfer fee and trademark use fee. For example, Fit bought a little over 50,000 RMB in Japan (genuine Fit) and nearly 1 10000 RMB in China (joint venture Fit). Of the 65,438+065,438+00,000 RMB, more than 30,000 RMB will be handed over to Japanese Honda by Guangzhou Honda Company, and the people of China will pay the bill. Sadly, many people like joint venture cars now and feel that they have face. A Japanese said: China people don't buy their own cars, but they feel proud, which is incredible. The meaning of contempt is beyond words.
