Chapter 176： Engine development direction

After a week, Bao Zixuan finally sorted out all the information about the car engine and variable box. I already have a plan in mind about what type of engine to develop.

If Heiyun wants to rise rapidly in the automotive field, it will implement corner overtaking. So judging from the strength of the major auto manufacturing giants now, we can only work **** engine fuel consumption. Otherwise, it will be difficult to get a share in the market, but Heiyun Automobile does not have any brand advantage.

Bao Zixuan is preparing to develop a hybrid car, and now he will prepare two sets of powertrains for the car. This technology in the previous life was first developed by Toyota in 1997. It not only used it by itself, but also exchanged many practical technologies from other car companies through authorization. This is a car engine with great commercial value.

Hybrid vehicles, also known as hybrid vehicles, refer to vehicles equipped with more than two power sources: batteries, fuel cells, solar cells, and diesel locomotive generator sets. Currently, hybrid vehicles generally refer to diesel locomotive generators, plus batteries Car.

There are many kinds of vehicle power sources: battery, fuel cell, solar cell, diesel locomotive generator set, the current hybrid vehicle generally refers to the diesel locomotive generator, plus the battery car.

There are three main types of hybrid vehicles. One is the "parallel mode" in which the engine is the main power and the electric motor is used as the auxiliary power of the series hybrid electric vehicle principle. This method is mainly driven by the engine, using the characteristics of the electric motor to generate strong power when it is restarted. When the fuel consumption of the engine is large when the car starts, accelerates, etc., the electric motor is used to assist the drive to reduce the fuel consumption of the engine. The structure of this method is relatively simple, and only an electric motor and a battery need to be added to the car.

The other is the "series and parallel mode" in which only the electric motor is driven at low speed, and the engine and the electric motor are driven together when the speed is increased. When starting and at low speed, it is only driven by the electric motor. When the speed is increased, the engine and the electric motor share the power efficiently. This method requires a power sharing device and a generator, so the structure is complicated.

There is also a "series mode" of electric vehicles that only use electric motors to drive. The engine is only used as a power source, the car is driven only by electric motors, and the drive system is only electric motors, but because it also needs to install a fuel engine, it is also a hybrid A kind of car.

There are various drawbacks in the currently commonly used fuel engine vehicles. Statistics show that under the road conditions that account for more than 80%, an ordinary car only uses 40% of its power potential, and it will drop to 25% in urban areas. More serious Is the emission of waste gas to pollute the environment. Since the 1990s, the voices of various countries in the world for improving environmental protection have become increasingly loud, and various electric vehicles have come to the fore. Although it is widely believed that the future is the world of electric vehicles, current battery technology problems hinder the application of electric vehicles. Since the energy density of batteries is hundreds of times worse than gasoline, experts estimate that electric vehicles will not be able to replace combustion engine vehicles within a few decades (unless there is a major breakthrough in fuel cell technology).

Reality forced engineers to come up with the best of both worlds, developing a hybrid-electric vehicle (Hybrid-ElectricVehicel, abbreviated HEV). The so-called hybrid device is a combination of an electric motor and an auxiliary power unit to do the driving force in a car. The auxiliary power unit is actually a small fuel engine or a power generator set. To put it into perspective, it is to make the traditional engine as small as possible, so that part of the power is borne by the battery-motor system. This kind of hybrid device not only takes advantage of the engine’s long continuous working time and good power performance, but also the advantages of the motor’s pollution-free and low-noise. Exhaust emissions can be improved by more than 30%.

Bao Zixuan knows that the most critical core parts of a hybrid vehicle are the gasoline engine, the permanent magnet brushless generator, the battery, and the tuning technology for the two engines.

Now that Heiyun Group has Philips motor technology, there is no problem in the research and development of permanent magnet brushless generators. The research and development of lithium batteries has been completed, and the battery technology can already meet the requirements. As for the tuning system and software of the two motivations, here is MIT, and there is no difficulty at all. Bao Zixuan presided over the research and development of the gasoline engine this time. This is his profession and what he wants to do most.

It has always been the creed of Heiyun Company to do what it says, and now it is not bound by the board of directors. What Bao Zixuan said to do, he could do it immediately, which had both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the enterprise has high efficiency, and the disadvantage is that once the leaders make mistakes, it will bring serious losses to the enterprise. It is the first generation of founders who are wise and wise and will not make mistakes in decision-making. However, when it is passed down from generation to generation, it is inevitable to encounter prodigal sons, which may bring down the enterprise. This is why many companies hire professional managers after they become bigger.

Bao Zixuan called John Chambers to his office. Now John Chambers is very busy as the person in charge of Black Cloud America. Bao Zixuan is basically a hands-off shopkeeper, and many things need the general manager of each region to be responsible.

John Chambers thought that the boss called him about the Los Angeles Electronic Technology Exhibition. After all, this is the most important thing for the Black Cloud Group recently, and the products exhibited this time are still the most. For this reason, Black Cloud has reserved 800 yuan at the exhibition. A large exhibition hall of square meters. Costs twice as much per square foot as other businesses. So John Chambers has been in Los Angeles to follow up on the show.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said to John Chambers: "John, I called you back at this time because there is an important matter that needs to be negotiated with youJohn Chambers: "Boss, the current exhibition The building went well. Don't worry about this, Manager Hashimoto and I are well prepared. "

Bao Zixuan: "I'm not worried about your abilities at all. I'm rushing to call you back now because I want you to find an American car factory, and Heiyun wants to enter the field of mass-produced cars. This is related to the future development of the company, so you now put the exhibition All the work is handed over to Hashimoto-kun. You need to look for talents in the field of automobiles. We need to set up a black cloud automobile company in the United States in the shortest time, and look for an automobile factory. Now the major automobile companies in the United States are having a hard time. It should be possible to buy To the automobile production plant, it can be directly produced in the United States. Then, a car plant in Hong Kong will also be established, specifically for the Asian market.”

John Chambers did not expect his boss to enter the automotive field all of a sudden! Completely out of step with the rhythm. The Black Cloud Group has its own car customization factory, which can only produce a small number of Knight XV each month, and the accessories are ordered externally. The auto giants didn't take it to heart at all. Now that they suddenly want to enter the field of mass production cars, they have to compete with these auto giants for food.

For the automobile field where the black cloud is not strong, it may not necessarily beat these century-old automobile giants. However, as a professional manager, he only has the right to suggest the work arranged by the boss and has no right to deny it. Looking at Bao Zixuan's serious look, John Chambers knew that he could only complete the task given by the boss unconditionally.

Because he knew that Bao Zixuan was the kind of person who would complete a decision once he made it. Even if the decision was wrong, he would have to finish it. But so far, the boss has not found any decision-making mistakes. It is often at a loss when negotiating, but it is much better now.
