Ssangyong automobile and Byd Company Limited(002594) will jointly develop battery
According to foreign media reports, on December 22, South Korea Ssangyong automobile announced that it would cooperate with Byd Company Limited(002594) . The two companies have signed a memorandum of understanding to cooperate in the development of batteries, key parts of electric vehicles and the production of battery packs. Among them, Byd Company Limited(002594) wholly owned battery manufacturer ferdi Industrial Co., Ltd. will participate in the battery development project. The battery jointly developed by the two sides is expected to be used to supply Shuanglong’s first electric vehicle U100, which will be mass produced in 2023. In addition, Ssangyong and Byd Company Limited(002594) also plan to expand cooperation to jointly develop battery packs and pure electric vehicle production platforms.
Yicai comment: Ssangyong automobile has suffered from unfavorable development in recent years and encountered debt problems. It hopes to start again through a new partner. In the era of automobile transformation, the development of electric vehicles is irreversible. Byd Company Limited(002594) started early in the field of electric vehicles and has core battery technology. In recent years, Byd Company Limited(002594) has developed rapidly, and the sales of electric vehicles are also rising. In addition, it is reported that Toyota also plans to cooperate with Byd Company Limited(002594) to launch a small pure electric car only for the Chinese market by the end of 2022, and this model will be equipped with ” Byd Company Limited(002594) key technology”. This subverts the previous joint venture model, because in the past joint venture model, technology is often dominated by foreign capital, which also shows that the status of Chinese brands is constantly improving in the era of new energy vehicles.
minieye and Huawei released ipilot intelligent driving scheme
On December 21, minieye, a developer of intelligent driving solutions, announced the results of cooperation with Huawei at the 2021 Huawei intelligent vehicle solutions ecological forum, and announced for the first time the ipilot intelligent pilot assisted mass production scheme for L2 + / L2 + + scenario development, which is based on Huawei MDC 610 platform, At present, it has obtained two fixed-point projects for automobile customers, including new forces of automobile manufacturing and traditional main engine plants. The application scenarios of the ipilot scheme cover highways, urban expressways and other structured roads and urban roads, and support a variety of intelligent driving system functions.
Yicai comment: with the advent of the era of intelligent vehicles, automatic driving technology is becoming more and more important, but this requires cooperation between the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain. The cooperation between Huawei and minieye is conducive to giving full play to their respective advantages. Liu guoqingbo, founder of minieye, believes that due to the influence of new car building forces such as Tesla and the increase of market demand, L2 + / L2 + + level intelligent driving function will become the mainstream demand in the next 3 ~ 5 years. At the same time, it is also an important field for minieye to cultivate deeply. At present, minieye has achieved four L2 + / L2 + + level mass production projects, including cars, sedans and SUVs, covering new energy and fuel vehicles.
nanosmart bank obtained nearly 1 billion yuan in round a financing
On December 22, smart bank announced that it had obtained a round of financing of nearly 1 billion yuan. The investors were meituan, Hillhouse venture capital, Qualcomm venture capital, Shoucheng holdings, Jiuzhi capital, etc. The raised funds will be mainly used for the R & D investment of automatic driving and the construction of talent system. In 2022, the auxiliary driving project of milli Zhixing passenger car will be expanded by 7 times, and the project of no flow car at the end will be expanded by 3 times. At the same time, in order to promote the rapid development of femto data intelligence system, femto Supercomputing Center is also under preparation. It is expected that by the end of 2022, the millisecond driving assistance system will be equipped with 34 Great Wall passenger cars, and the number of passenger cars in the next three years is expected to exceed 1 million.
Yicai comment: in terms of end logistics unmanned vehicles, FeMo Zhixing has reached strategic cooperation with industry leading enterprises such as meituan, Wumart multipoint and aridamo Institute. At present, end logistics unmanned vehicles have been successively configured in specific scenarios such as supermarket distribution. Zhang Kai, chairman of Millie smart bank, said that automatic driving is one of the entrepreneurial tracks with the highest threshold and the most lasting cycle in the whole smart car industry. Completing round a financing is the first battle for Millie to win. Since this year, the field of automatic driving has welcomed another investment boom. A report released by it orange shows that in the third quarter of 2021 alone, 36 financing cases were obtained in the field of automatic driving, with an average of about 3 days. The financing amount in the third quarter was 13.85 billion yuan. The industry believes that compared with the heat of the last round, this year’s intelligent driving project once again attracted high attention of capital, which is related to the real landing of industrialization. Perceptual lidar and other technologies have also made great progress in recent years, and intelligent driving has begun to be commercialized in specific scenes. At the same time, many low-level autonomous passenger cars began to appear on the market and sell well. However, the commercialization of unmanned driving still faces some challenges.
Wei re push hybrid model
Wei brand latte DHT was officially launched recently. The official guide price range of the new car is 159800 yuan – 179800 yuan. A total of three new models have been launched. The vehicle is equipped with a hybrid system of “1.5T turbocharged engine + motor” and adopts a dual motor hybrid topology, which can realize efficient operation under different loads and various working modes, with a comprehensive fuel consumption of 4.9l/100km and a range of 1000km.
Yicai comment: Wei brand latte DHT is a hybrid model. Since this year, Great Wall Motor Company Limited(601633) , Geely and Byd Company Limited(002594) have launched hybrid models. In terms of hybrid technology, Toyota, Honda, Nissan in Japan and Hyundai Kia in South Korea have first mover advantages. However, with the enhancement of independent product R & D strength, its technology in the field of hybrid is also making continuous progress. Great Wall Motor Company Limited(601633) Huang Zhenyang, chief engineer of hybrid power system, believes that the hybrid systems launched by independent brands basically belong to the series and parallel connection of double motors and single gear, while Wei brand adopts the three modes of one low gear, one high gear and two gears plus series, organically covering the whole working condition. In this way, you can drive at medium and low speed, uniform speed and medium and high speed, the engine works efficiently, and NVH and power performance will be better.
