Yes, Chery has always been the passionate Chery. In fact, most consumers know nothing about the charm of Chery, Tianyajun said rudely.
More persistent than Honda, how strong is Chery's engine technology?
Unlike most car companies, Chery's first step in building a car is not to build a car, but to build an engine. It is also the first independent brand that wants to make the upstream core of this mass consumption comprehensive commodity domestically.
An "unarmed" novice can have such a strategy and have to admire Yin Tongyue's vision. For this reason, many people call Chery "the engine company".
As early as 1996, Chery spent $29.8 million to import a second-hand engine production line from Wales, England. At the same level, Geely, Great Wall and other car companies still stay at the level of self-learning automobile assembly skills.
1999, when other independent brands knew nothing about engine technology, the first engine CAC480( 1.6) in Chery's enterprise history was successfully ignited, which represented the highest level of independent brands at that time. At the same time, Chery successfully got rid of the fate of relying entirely on imported engines.
In 2005, the first generation acteco engine jointly developed by Chery and Austrian AVL company was officially put into the market. Its environmental standards are directly in line with European standards and are carried on its son of the East and Chery QQ. Once launched, it received great response, and the average monthly sales of Chery QQ even reached 1 10,000 vehicles. Not only that, this generation of engines also derived 0.8L-4.2L engines with a displacement of as much as 18, which directly broke the long-term imprisonment of independent brands by Toyota and Mitsubishi and lowered the average selling price of the whole market. At this time, Geely has just started, and other independent brands such as Great Wall and Changan have not yet started.
What really opened the gap was 2009.
At that time, Chery introduced the second-generation engines with turbocharging technology, including 1.6DVVT/ 1.5DVVT,1.0tci/1.5tci. The new models added dual VVT variable timing adjustment and intake and exhaust turbocharging technology. Significant progress has been made in power, economy and emissions. The quality performance is even better, and the IPTV (average number of failures per thousand vehicles in three months) value of the engine is only about 4, which is equivalent to the level of Volkswagen in Germany at that time and ranks among the first-class international levels. In addition, many advanced technologies, such as variable intake and exhaust timing adjustment (DVVT), light weight of the whole machine and modular design of engine intake and exhaust, have been applied. The latest version of this generation of engines is the E4T 15C engine carried by the current Arrizo GX, which has been criticized for its small torque difference and high noise. From the initial mastery of engine technology to the continuous improvement of engine power, thermal efficiency and economy, Chery has also turned over the passing line and climbed in a higher direction, while the "heart" of its own brands such as Great Wall and Changan is still highly dependent on the supply of joint venture brands such as Mitsubishi.
Eight years later, Chery's third generation ACTECO? 1.6TGDI engine comes out, with high thermal efficiency of 37. 1% and compression ratio of 9.9: 1.
At this point, Chery has fully opened the TGDI turbocharged direct injection era. Subsequently, Chery exhibited a brand-new 1.6TGDI hybrid engine (DHE) at the 20 19 World New Energy Vehicle Conference, with a maximum thermal efficiency of 4 1%. Many people can't believe that their own brands can develop a top engine to compete with Toyota technology. Chery's ACTECO? 1.6TGDI？ Direct injection in cylinder? The turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 197Ps and a maximum torque of 290 N m. It can easily run into the "9-second club" with zero acceleration, and its parameters are comparable to those of many joint venture brands.
It is also from the third generation engine that Chery revolutionized the engine warranty commitment of 10 year and100000 kilometers, far exceeding the average level of the same class.
It is reported that the vehicle verification of Chery's third-generation engine has accumulated more than 2 million kilometers, and the user running equivalent has exceeded 10 years. Its IPTV is as low as 1 or even 0.2, which exceeds the average value of international mainstream brands. It can be seen from the bathtub curve of the engine that the running-in period and running-in period are almost the same. For engines with complex systems, longer life means higher requirements for the stability of cylinder head, cylinder block, intake and exhaust, and ignition system. Chery extended the engine warranty mileage 10 times at one time, which shows how solid its foundation is.
It can be seen that Chery has given up the primary stage of seeking quantity and survival, but gradually changed from quantitative change to qualitative change and embarked on the boutique route. At present, its R&D level has surpassed many competitors including joint venture car companies.
Chery's third-generation engine has another advantage? ：
ACTECO？ Honda Civic's 1.6TGDI engine and 1.5T engine both adopt in-cylinder direct injection technology, and the thermal efficiency of the two engines is also very close (Chery 1.6T: more than 37.5%, Honda Civic 1.5t: 38%), but Chery's generation of engines are It is really rare to pull back a game in front of Honda, an "engine madman".
I believe many people still remember the switch of the national six emission standards this year, and the research and development progress of many car companies was forced to be interrupted. However, Chery does not have such a dilemma. As early as 20 13' s research and development stage, Chery has been aiming at the national six emission standards, leading the industry for 6 years. At present, Chery has developed nearly 20 gasoline engines and diesel engines, five of which have won the honorary title of "Top Ten Engines" in China.
As the saying goes, "there is food in the warehouse, so take your time." The engine technology and tenacious research and development ability standing on the spire are Chery's food.
Patent mania sweeps the domestic automobile market.
Of course, Chery is not satisfied with focusing only on the engine business, but also has made great achievements in gearbox.
If it is in the engine field, Chery is aiming at Honda. Then on the gearbox, Chery's goal is Toyota.
Chery is the only automobile enterprise in China that has mastered the development technology of a full range of gearboxes. With nearly 65,438+00 self-developed manual gearboxes, it is the first self-developed CVT among independent brands.
In addition, the performance and reliability of the dual-clutch gearbox jointly developed with Gertrak can be called the benchmark of the same level.
Like Toyota Holding Aisin Seiki, Chery Seiki also hopes to rely on its own technological advantages for backdoor incubation.
20 16 Zhejiang Wan Liyang co., ltd, which produces commercial gearboxes for trucks, acquired Wuhu Chery gearbox co., ltd (later renamed Wuhu Wan Liyang) as Chery holding company at a price of 12.24%. As the second largest shareholder in Wan Liyang, in order to better expand CVT gearbox business, we use our own production capacity to cultivate the latter. Chery transferred the CVT 19 gearbox independently developed and the CVT25 gearbox in the initial research and development stage to Wan Liyang, Zhejiang.
Subsequently, on June 5th, 20 18, Wan Liyang CVT25 gearbox was officially rolled off the production line, with a torque capacity of 250 N m. Thanks to the newly optimized steel belt, high thermal capacity clutch and large-angle damper hydraulic torque converter, the overall mechanical transmission efficiency of Wan Liyang CVT25 gearbox was improved by 5%. Its vane pump with flow control expands the speed ratio range by 30% on the basis of CVT 19, and is also compatible with automatic start/stop, 48V light mixing, PHEV and electronic gear shifting.
In addition, this gearbox with a speed ratio range of 7.07 also has the advantages of high reliability, strong acceleration, good fuel economy and low noise. The most intuitive feeling at the consumer level is that the acceleration performance is better, the fuel consumption is reduced and the car is quieter.
With Ariza GX? Pro, for example, the official said that the 0-60km/h acceleration time is only 4 seconds, and the 100 km acceleration time is 9 seconds. Arize GX is based on bear fuel consumption statistics? 20 19? Dear? 1.5T？ The real fuel consumption value of CVT color version National Sixth Edition owner is 8.33L/ 100KM, while Emgrand GL? 20 19? 1.5T？ The fuel consumption of the automatic elite intelligent exclusive version reached 8.57L/ 100KM.
This gearbox has attracted the attention of many domestic car companies.
At present, Chery, Geely, BYD and many other independent brand car companies have become customers of Wan Liyang gearbox, and FAW and Great Wall Motor have also begun to extend olive branches to Wan Liyang. It can be seen that although the market capacity of Wan Liyang is not as big as that of Bang Qi. However, under the high pressure of Aisin, the Wan Liyang gearbox with Chery background color is more and more popular. From scratch, from zero to excellent.
Chery's initial goal of backdoor incubation is being realized step by step, rather than "playing" through the Internet.
Strong R&D team
Thanks to the technical accumulation in core components such as engines and transmissions, Chery is the first independent brand with a platform.
At present, Chery has a platform matrix including T 1X, M 1X, M3X, NEV and so on. In terms of R&D strength, Chery also has a global R&D team of more than 5,500 designers and engineers, as well as R&D centers such as Wuhu Headquarters, Shanghai R&D Center, Frankfurt R&D Center in Germany, Silicon Valley R&D Center in the United States and Brazil R&D Center. Strong talent pool and tough hardware facilities are the solid backing for Chery to continue to forge ahead in the future.
Among these top laboratories, two are worth mentioning.
First, the optical engine laboratory.
It plays a vital role in the process of forward research and development. In order to find out how the oil droplets are dispersed in the combustion chamber, in 20 12, Chery took the lead in setting up an optical engine laboratory with huge investment in domestic automobile enterprises, making the transparent single-cylinder engine run, and then taking high-speed photos of it with laser. Every time the crankshaft rotates 1 degree, images can be left, and 720 photos can be taken in one trip, which can track the path and state of gasoline atomization, and then continuously optimize the combustion system in product development. With its blessing, accurate fuel injection can be realized in the research and development process, thus optimizing engine fuel consumption. Meeting strict emission standards is also very beneficial to the thermal efficiency and research and development progress of engines.
Of course, the benefits don't stop there. With clear image data, the fuel injection position can be adjusted. As we all know, the increase of Honda CR-V engine oil is due to the fact that the oil mist on the inner wall of the cylinder block can't burn after cooling, and then it is scraped into the oil pan by the piston ring, which leads to the dilution of the engine oil and the rise of the liquid level. The optical engine laboratory can observe this drawback at the early stage of design and avoid design damage at the first time, so Chery owners basically don't have to worry about the "machine friend door" incident coming to them.
Second, the collision safety laboratory.
In order to verify the security of its model. Chery has established the largest collision laboratory in Asia. In addition to frontal collision, side collision and rear-end collision stipulated in China's collision safety regulations, Chery's collision safety laboratory can also carry out collision experiments from different angles such as column collision, real vehicle collision and collision at various angles. No matter the collision experiment stipulated by Europe, America or Japan, it can be verified in Chery's collision laboratory. It is the rich experimental data and strong research support that enables Chery to better tailor the solution in terms of safety. Is its model in C-NCAP? Professional tests, such as J.D.Power, have also achieved good results. From market to market, Chery's V-shaped products will benefit from the quality management system built by the forward development system for life.
Leading the global market
As a self-owned brand in China with 2 1 year technology accumulation and car-making experience, Chery's export scope has covered more than 80 overseas countries and regions such as Russia, Ukraine, Egypt, the Philippines, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Angola and Ecuador, with a cumulative export of more than 1.5 million vehicles.
Among them, Chery's cumulative sales in the Russian market has exceeded 200,000 units. In 20 19, Chery * * * exported 96,000 new cars, ranking first among domestic automobile enterprises in passenger car export with 17. At present, the cumulative output of Chery engines has exceeded 6 million units, which are not only self-operated, but also exported to developed markets such as the United States, Italy and Japan. According to Chery's strategic plan, 500,000 cars will be exported in 2025, with an export value of 5 billion US dollars.
abstract
So, as the title suggests, many people know nothing about the charm of Chery.
Although Chery has experienced many setbacks and detours in recent years, in terms of technology, Chery is still the powerful Chery.
With the addition of new shareholders, I believe that Chery, which has stronger financial support, will explode more energy in the future and become the pride of Chinese people.
