[car home Industry] Recently, the news that Celeste Huawei has stopped production of SF5 has been widely circulated. Many users said that they had been told by offline stores that (|) no longer accepted reservations. Not long ago, AITO, a high-end new energy brand jointly built by Huawei and Celeste, was released, and the first model of the new brand was listed on the market. This caused concern about the fate of Cyrus.

　　"The Celestial brand will not withdraw from the market. As long as users have demand, we will produce and deliver it." After an exclusive conversation with Zhou Lin, executive deputy general manager of Jin Kang Celeste Science and Technology Center and general manager of product line, car home got this definite answer.

　　In the face of the constantly fermenting public opinion, Cyrus recently posted on its official social platform that "Cyrus SF5 will continue to accept user orders." Despite the official clarification, with the new brand AITO, the future development fate of the Celeste brand is worrying. Since the announcement of its entry into the automobile industry, Huawei has always been accompanied by controversy, and the future of Cyrus, which is closest to Huawei, naturally concerns the industry.

■Cyrus will not disappear.

　　Sailis SF5 is the first model that Xiaokang (parent company of Sailis) cooperates with Huawei. When it came out in April, 2021, it was rumored that the order number of Celestial was refreshed several times: "The order number was broken by 3,000 vehicles in two days" and "the national order number exceeded 10,000 vehicles in one month". It is based on the high attention at the initial stage of the release that the outside world has high expectations for the sales volume of Sellers SF5 in the terminal.

　　According to the latest data of the Federation, the sales volume of Sailis SF5 in 2021 (April-November) is only 7080 vehicles. According to car home, it is partly because of the slow delivery. Due to Huawei’s high technical requirements, the running-in of quality control between the two parties has a certain impact on the climbing of production capacity.

　　"In this process, Huawei applied some concepts in the field of mobile phones and ICT, and provided more information on how to complete product quality control standards completely." Zhou Lin said, "A large number of mobile phones need to ensure complete and consistent quality standards, and the number of them on the market far exceeds that of cars, so Huawei’s quality control standards are more detailed than cars."

　　As for why the news that Celeste SF5 stopped production came out, Zhou Lin attributed it to the fact that the promotion of new brand models needed to be tilted in resources, which caused some misunderstanding to the outside world. "Due to the shortage of chips, due to the consideration of ensuring the timeliness of user delivery, the reservation will not be accepted for a few days, avoiding that the order cycle will take two or three months or longer to deliver, and users may complain. Now, with the solution of this problem, the reservation channel has been reopened."

　　Car home found on Celestial App that at present, Celestial Huawei can still place an order normally, and users can choose 1000 yuan’s intentional deposit or 10,000 yuan.

　　In fact, the negative emotions of Celestial SF5 users stem from Celestial’s closure of direct stores and the "separation" of Huawei brand from SF5. After all, Celestial SF5 withdrew from all the experience centers of Huawei overnight after its appearance, and the posters in the store have been switched from Celestial Huawei’s smart selection SF5 to AITO Media M5. When car home visited the Shanghai Sailisi direct store, he also found that the store was being rebuilt or even closed. The sales said, "We have moved to the AITO user center, and the pre-sales and after-sales are integrated."

"Photo by car home: The changes before and after a Celeste store in Shanghai"

　　It is not uncommon to complete the model change and upgrade within one year in the current technical iteration of smart electric vehicles. Even the new force of "Wei Xiaoli" can’t avoid the pit of complaints, and old users often feel that they have been "cut leeks". However, in just eight months, it is the first time that a newly established brand has switched to another brand.

　　In order to appease the old users, Sailis posted on its official social platform on January 5, "For the users who have already delivered, Sailis promised to upgrade the lifetime warranty of the whole vehicle and range extender in addition to the 8-year/160,000-kilometer warranty of the three-power system promised earlier, and the first owner can get an additional discount of 10,000 yuan on the basis of the rights and interests of the schedule within four years." However, the owner of Celeste SF5 needs to go to AITO brand store for after-sales maintenance.

　　Zhou Lin also clearly told car home, "Sailis is still Sailis, and AITO is a brand-new high-end smart car brand with the high assistance of Huawei. The two brands will continue to enrich their product matrix and new models will come out constantly. This is a product pedigree evolved under two brands of an enterprise."

　　It is expected that at the end of February this year, the M5 will start the delivery of the first car owners. Regarding the follow-up vehicle planning of AITO brand, Zhou Lin revealed, "It is expected that a new large SUV will be launched at the end of the second quarter or the beginning of the third quarter in 2022, and it can be delivered by the end of this year. Since then, there will be a pure electric version of the M5. At the same time, new models launched in 2023 are also being prepared in an orderly manner. "

■Competition between Cyrus and AITO brand?

　　Although Celestial’s response put an end to the rumors of the suspension of production of SF5, it did not completely dispel the doubts about the future direction of Celestial SF5 and even the brand.

　　The insiders believe that Huawei has shifted its focus to the newly listed model M5, and stopping SF5 is a timely stop loss in a sense. However, some analysts pointed out that there are some differences in the positioning, selling prices and target groups of the two models, which may be complementary.

　　After the official listing of M5, some potential consumers were diverted to M5 on a large scale under the guidance of sales due to the temporary suspension of sales of Celestial SF.

　　Gwan Chin (a pseudonym), a user around car home, bought the SF5 of Celeste Huawei Smart Choice in early December. Because the sales promised to deliver the car in one week, Gwan Chin sold the gas car at home. Unexpectedly, after waiting for two weeks, the sales told him that the car had been discontinued and recommended him to add money to buy a new brand M5.

　　According to the official, M5 has been on the market for three days, and the large order has exceeded 2,000 units. Will Sellers SF5 be substantially marginalized by the market?

　　From the perspective of product strength, the M5 of AITO is indeed remarkable. Among them, Huawei’s HarmonyOS intelligent cockpit is the biggest highlight of the M5. Only with the opening of HarmonyOS system, will this advantage be leveled by more models equipped with HarmonyOS smart cockpit in the future? In Zhou Lin’s view, AITO has taken the first-Mover advantage at the time node.

　　"It was originally planned that the mass production time of Huawei’s HarmonyOS smart cockpit product was September 2022. With the deep cooperation between Huawei and Celeste, this product can be mass-produced about one year in advance. At present, the HarmonyOS smart cockpit mentioned by friends on the market is not a complete cockpit concept, similar to the cooperation mode of the traditional car Tier 1. "

　　In the mode of cooperation, Huawei’s deep participation has obviously gone far beyond other automobile projects. If Cyrus SF5 is Huawei’s adopted son, then the world M5 is more like Huawei’s own son.

　　Nowadays, Huawei has put more thoughts into the pre-planning and product design of AITO brand, even into product marketing and factory transformation. Especially in the research and development and adaptation of intelligent cockpit in HarmonyOS, Huawei has devoted more human resources.

　　"Since March this year, the Huawei team has gradually intervened in various workshops and links, including the R&D team. At present, there are four or five hundred people." Zhou Lin revealed.

　　As for whether the follow-up Sailis can only use its own channels, there is also uncertainty about whether it can re-enter Huawei’s intelligent car selection system. After all, unlike other auto companies’ direct stores, Huawei has limited area allocated for exhibition cars. With the release of the second new model of AITO this year, how much resources can Huawei give to Celeste? How to avoid internal competition among brands is a problem that Cyrus must think about at the moment when various car companies are grabbing the window period of smart electric vehicles.

　　"We give the choice to the users," Zhou Lin said frankly. "Celeste and AITO brands will have their own brand positioning and target customer groups, and the two brands will be differentiated. At present, there is only one model under each brand, and the system is not fully established. It will be gradually improved in the later stage."

■Xiaokang doesn’t want to just be a foundry.

　　Under the concern of where the Celeste brand will go, the outside world also believes that Huawei will "build a car" by taking advantage of the factory and qualification of Xiaokang shares.

　　Today’s Huawei, although verbally claiming "no cars", has indirectly declared its series layout and actions that Huawei does not only want to be limited to Bosch in the era of smart electric vehicles.

　　On December 23, 2021, at Huawei’s flagship new product launch conference in winter, Huawei walked to the stage for the first time from behind the scenes of the automobile industry. Yu Chengdong said apologetically that he had caught a cold, but he spent more than 30,000 words to introduce the M5, but Cyrus never appeared in front of the stage.

　　Yu Chengdong said, "AITO M5 integrates Huawei’s industrial design, engineering technology, system software and HarmonyOS’s ecological advantages." Selis is rarely mentioned between the lines, and people in the industry feel that this car is infinitely close to Huawei’s "pro-son" except for not hanging Huawei’s logo.

　　"But this does not mean that Xiaokang has become a Huawei foundry." Zhou Lin emphasized that with Huawei’s help, AITO’s first model, the M5, was manufactured into the whole value chain of users’ cars, and Cyrus was responsible for R&D, manufacturing, delivery, service and creating the whole life cycle car experience. Huawei is deeply involved in product definition, quality control and channel sales. The two sides give play to each other’s strengths.

　　"When the smart ecology collides with the automobile industry, there will be many new explorations and ways." At present, Huawei’s cooperation with car companies has defined two modes: First, Huawei Inside mode. At present, Huawei provides autonomous driving solutions to three cooperative car companies, namely BAIC, Changan and Guangzhou Automobile, to support them to build their own sub-brands; Second, Huawei’s BU business provides parts and solutions to car companies.

　　AITO M5 is a brand-new cooperation mode, which is independent of the above two modes: Huawei is not only a component supplier, but also the industrial design team of Huawei BU.

　　"If someone says that we are a foundry, why doesn’t Huawei buy a factory itself?" In the conversation, I can feel the injustice in Zhou Lin’s heart. "Huawei originally made mobile phones, but it didn’t know much about the automotive field. The design standards of automobiles have always been dominated by us, but Huawei’s specialties in the ICT field, such as communication and cockpit information security, will be deeply dominant."

　　In Zhou Lin’s view, in addition to Huawei’s empowerment, Cyrus also has its own core technology, which is more focused on the research and development of new energy technologies and manufacturing quality (five boutique platforms+core three-power technology+Industry 4.0 smart factory). If the M5 can maintain its leading position in the market, it is not the strength of a single product point, but the joint efforts of both parties to open the era of smart cars for users, which is the core that distinguishes it from other models.

　　Undoubtedly, Cyrus’ initial intention is to use Huawei to improve his brand image. Before the cooperation with Huawei, the industry knew little about Cyrus. After taking the "express train" of Huawei, the share price of the parent company of Cyrus Xiaokang soared from 17 yuan/share in early 2020 to the highest 83 yuan/share.

　　However, after the release of M5, the capital market quickly gave feedback to Xiaokang shares: it fell more than 7% that day and fell for two consecutive days, then continued to fall, and closed at 52.56 yuan/share on January 7. Huawei still spends a lot of energy and resources on the new car of AITO brand, but Cyrus is busy with the production and after-sales of SF5.

　　Will Cyrus reconsider its cooperation with Huawei? The insiders think it is difficult to give an answer. "Objectively speaking, the cooperation with Huawei has brought a high degree of attention to Xiaokang and also brought a sharp rise in the stock price." The data shows that in the first three quarters of 2021, the company achieved a total operating income of 11.45 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 24%, but the net profit returned to the mother was-1.083 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 49%.

　　In-depth cooperation with Huawei can almost be said to be the only option for Cyrus at present. Xiaokang also stressed at the investment exchange meeting on January 7 that "the cross-border cooperation between the company and Huawei is in-depth and successful, and the two sides have invested heavily, and there is no reason for not cooperating."

　　At present, it is a top priority for Cyrus to cooperate well with Huawei and try to polish products and make delivery. At the AITO brand launch conference, Sailis officially put forward a slogan that seems a bit difficult now-to become the TOP3 of the global new energy vehicle within five years. In Zhou Lin’s view, with the advantages of both parties and the continuous optimization of the new product system, we can reach the breakthrough level of the sales model. "Let everything go to time!"

[Text/Financial Circle Society & Dao Ge said Che Ma Jian Yu] With the deepening of electrification and intelligent transformation, the automobile market in China is undergoing drastic changes. In this context, the "three-year rejuvenation" action plan was released to accelerate the transformation to a new energy technology company.

?

For Chuanqi, 2024 is the first year of the "three-year rejuvenation" action plan. In this year, Chuanqi gained a lot, and the platform technologies such as I-GTEC2.0 and new EV+ new energy platform were released one after another, which strengthened the competitiveness of Chuanqi brand. In terms of products, the rejuvenation of MPV matrix makes Chuanqi’s transformation more emboldened.

Nowadays, the balance is insufficient in 2024, and how Chuanqi will perform in the coming year has also become the focus of attention. According to Chuanqi’s official news, based on the EV+ new energy platform, GAC Chuanqi will develop a series of models, covering all categories of cars, SUVs and MPVs. Chuanqi S7, the first mass production model of EV+ new energy platform, is expected to be officially launched in the first half of next year.

?

At the same time, Chuanqi’s smart driving performance in 2025 will go to a higher level. After all, in addition to the technical upgrade during the year, Chuanqi also received a strong support-Huawei.

?

MPV’s strong performance casts transformation confidence.

?

Through careful market insight, Chuanqi cut into MPV, a small track, and gradually became a big shot in this field. As of November, the cumulative sales volume of Chuanqi MPV has reached 700,000 vehicles, and China brand MPV is the only one. At the same time, Chuanqi’s MPV preservation rate continues to be the highest, and its M8, M6 and other models have ranked first in the multi-platform independent brand MPV preservation rate for many times in a row, which shows that users fully recognize Chuanqi’s MPV and are well-deserved MPV experts in China.

?

Chuanqi’s leading product insight and market position in MPV market have also become the foundation of Chuanqi’s transformation. In 2024, it was a great year for technical innovation of Guangzhou Automobile Chuanqi. I-GTEC2.0 was released, which was upgraded in all dimensions for chassis, power generation, intelligence and platform, and GMC400 super hybrid technology developed by the whole stack was launched, which was also launched and implemented in conjunction with Huawei’s innovation plan. All these technologies are empowering Chuanqi MPV, bringing consumers the smartest, most luxurious and most enjoyable travel experience.

In the past November, Chuanqi launched two hybrid MPVs, including the Grandmaster Super Hybrid Edition equipped with full-stack self-developed HEV hybrid technology and the Chuanqi New Energy E9 Supercharged Edition. These two cars represent Chuanqi’s latest achievements in HEV and PHEV hybrid technologies. However, this is not over yet. Chuanqi, which is in the first year of the "three-year rejuvenation" action plan, has more achievements, and these achievements also make Chuanqi’s 2025 more interesting.

?

Rich technological innovation, Chuanqi 2025, many bullets.

?

Since the beginning of this year, Chuanqi has made continuous breakthroughs in technology. In April this year, GAC Chuanqi launched EV+, a worry-free solution for users in the whole cycle and all scenarios, to solve the pain points of users in terms of energy replenishment, quality, safety and service. At the just-concluded Guangzhou Auto Show, GAC Chuanqi went further and brought a new EV+ new energy platform.

According to reports, the EV+ platform can realize the dual-mode parallelism of extended range and plug-in. Among them, GAC Super Extended Range Technology further reduces fuel consumption by 15%, improves pure battery life by 12%, and bid farewell to feeding troubles completely! At the same time, the EV+ platform adopts the mode of self-developed and cooperative two-wheel drive, and GAC has self-developed AI intelligent cockpit, end-to-end intelligent driving without drawing, and other pioneering technologies such as Huawei Gankun intelligent driving and HarmonyOS cockpit, which can bring more help to Chuanqi.

In terms of vehicle mechanical quality, Juxing intelligent control chassis under the EV+ platform is equipped with high-end technologies such as active preview multi-cavity suspension and Gankun U-turn, which reduces the chassis impact by 29%, comparable to millions of luxury cars, and improves the steering sensitivity by 25%. Big cars can also have the flexibility of small cars. At the same time, meet the most stringent safety standards around the world. These technical preparations also provide more bullets for Chuanqi’s market competition next year.

?

Based on the EV+ new energy platform, GAC Chuanqi will develop a series of models, covering all categories of cars, SUVs and MPVs. Chuanqi S7, the first mass production model of EV+ new energy platform, is expected to be officially launched in the first half of next year. Chuanqi S7 is also the first production car in the latest design language of GAC, and the first high-end intelligent driving model of Chuanqi. At the same time, in 2025, GAC Chuanqi is about to usher in a breakthrough year of intelligent driving. Among them, not only Chuanqi S7 has attracted much attention, but three models equipped with high-end intelligent driving will also be listed one after another. Next year, Chuanqi’s high-level intelligent driver will send four cars together, with full firepower!

　　Lishui, May 10th, Zhongxin. com (trainee reporter Zhou Yulong correspondent Yu Fan Ye Fangju) Install a camera on the wall, set up a sensing device in the mahjong table, and remotely control it in the background … … Nowadays, these series of "cheating" techniques that once appeared in movies have quietly appeared in real life, making many gamblers lose their money without knowing why.

　　In April 2018, the police in Longquan, Zhejiang Province successfully arrested the first gang in Zhejiang Province that used high-tech means such as remote perspective to monitor mahjong fraud. As of May 9, Longquan police have arrested 15 suspects and detained 14 people.

　　Men devote themselves to mahjong cheating.

　　Xie Moumou, the principal offender, is from Longquan. He doesn’t have a stable job on weekdays. His biggest hobby in his spare time is playing mahjong.

　　Mahjong requires not only some experience, but also luck. Since the second half of 2016, Xie Moumou, who is extremely unlucky, has lost a lot of money on the mahjong table, and gambling debts have also accumulated more and more. However, instead of stopping, he has studied the evil road and tried to turn over the book.

　　How can I monitor the card situation without being discovered? At the end of 2016, Xie Moumou began to concentrate on finding the so-called "gateway" on the Internet, and bought some equipment from the Internet, such as wireless micro-headphones, wireless surveillance video equipment, mahjong chips, etc., and then slowly explored ways to cheat in mahjong while looking for someone to cooperate in playing mahjong. Gradually, Xie Moumou became the "ever-victorious general" on the mahjong table.

　　Not only that, Xie Moumou also made his "small tricks" bigger and more specialized, and convened some "kindred spirits" to form a studio, forming a veritable "gambling gang".

　　The "winning general" was suddenly arrested.

　　In April 2018, after months of investigation and operation, Longquan police gradually found out the organizational structure and criminal facts of the gang, and locked in the foothold of this criminal gang that used high-tech equipment to commit fraud and gambling.

　　In the early morning of April 4, with the order of the commander of the network-closing operation, the arresting personnel who had long been hidden near a rented house (gambling spot) in the south ocean of Longquan decisively rushed into the gambling scene, controlled the gambling gang and arrested 13 suspects on the spot.

　　But to the police’s surprise, there was almost nothing unusual in the mahjong room, and mahjong and playing cards didn’t seem to have been tampered with.

　　During the on-site search, an experienced old policeman found something fishy in the spotlights on the ceiling of the mahjong room. Through his many years of experience in handling cases, the old policeman concluded that the secret of gambling fraud equipment is likely to be hidden in this spotlight.

　　Sure enough, there is a miniature camera hidden in the spotlight of the casino, and a signal transmitter is installed in the lamp on the wall, while a gang member in charge of playing mahjong wears a miniature earphone in his ear, and a complete set of high-tech gambling fraud equipment gradually "surfaced".

　　Mahjong indoor tricky.

　　How on earth does this homemade high-tech equipment implement gambling fraud?

　　It turns out that when Xie Moumou first started to study cheating, he bought some mahjong chips from the Internet and installed them in mahjong. When playing cards with others, he took the special mahjong with him, secretly replaced the cards in mahjong machine, and installed specific equipment such as sensors in mahjong machine. After he started playing cards, he controlled them through the remote control he carried, and the micro headphones he secretly wore would automatically report the cards, so as to master the card situation.

　　After the establishment of a studio dedicated to gambling, Xie Moumou upgraded the gambling equipment and methods, forming a "clairvoyance" mode of remote control.

　　First of all, Xie Moumou placed mahjong with a special chip in the mahjong room and installed sensors at the four outlets of the mahjong table. The sensors can sense the situation of playing cards through the chip. Then, Xie Moumou installed a transparent miniature camera in the hidden place in the mahjong room. The camera can be installed on murals, spotlights or even teacups, and outsiders can’t find it at all.

　　The camera is connected to the background through WiFi, and Xie Moumou in the background will see the cards on the gambling table through the monitor in another room and "guide" the accomplices who are playing cards in real time through the intercom. This method greatly improves the chance of winning cards, and also achieves the goal of winning money.

　　After winning more money, Xie Moumou began to brag about this way of making money with his friends. Unexpectedly, people have come to the door to find Xie Moumou to cooperate. With the gradual expansion of business, Xie Moumou also sold equipment and technology to Jingning, Wuzhen, Zhejiang and Nanning, Guangxi. With the deepening of investigation, Longquan police arrested another suspect in Wuzhen, Jiaxing on the evening of May 8.

　　At present, the case is still being further processed.

Comfort configuration is often linked to the quality of a car. Of course, the higher the comfort configuration, the more pleasant the passenger experience, which can give the car a higher evaluation. What I brought to my riders today is. Let’s take a look at its performance.

Let’s take a look at the appearance of the BMW 8 Series. The front of the BMW 8 Series looks very domineering and cool. Combined with the fashionable headlights, the visual effect coincides with the positioning of the whole vehicle. The car is equipped with LED daytime running lights, automatic opening and closing, adaptive far and near light, automatic steering, delayed closing and so on. Come to the side of the car, the car body size is 4857MM*1902MM*1350MM, the car uses fashionable and atmospheric lines, the side looks very round and lovely, with large-sized thick-walled tires, the shape is quite simple. In the design of the rear end, the overall shape of the BMW 8 Series rear end echoes the front end, and the taillights are very calm, and the overall shape is still very attractive.

Sitting in the car, the interior of BMW 8 Series looks very spiritual and makes people feel very soft. The steering wheel of the car is very clean and made of leather, and everything looks very dynamic and lively. From the central control point of view, the central control screen with 12.3-inch touch-sensitive LCD makes the interior design quite layered, and the details are still in place. Let’s take a look at the dashboard and seats again. The dashboard design is remarkable, giving people a very young feeling. The car uses leather seats, which are wide and thick, improving the ride experience of drivers and passengers.

BMW 8 Series is equipped with an automatic manual transmission (AT) gearbox, with an acceleration time of 5.5s per 100 kilometers, which has good power performance and is completely OK for daily use.

Looking at the configuration, the BMW 8 Series is equipped with car networking, driving mode selection, remote control key, interior atmosphere light, engine start and stop and other configurations.

OK！ Next, let’s sum up. The car introduced today is remarkable in terms of space, configuration and power, and home travel is also a good helper.

　　It is imperative for Chang ‘an, which reshuffles its cards, to accelerate new energy sources.

　　Sub-brands play a phased role from appearance to departure. The last stage has come to an end and they are ready for the next stage.

　　At the end of the year, Changan X5 PLUS and X7 PLUS, two classic models of Changan Auchan, have been updated one after another, but the brand-new V-shaped logos of the two cars are very eye-catching and adopt a brand-new naming method. It seems that everything points to the return of the new car to the brand sequence of Changan Automobile. Where will the Auchan brand go?

　　In 2018, Changan Auchan was born. With the blessing of Changan brand and the accuracy of positioning, it quickly occupied a seat in domestic second-line independent brands and harvested in the low-end market.

　　Changan’s joint venture brands are becoming more and more obvious. Changan has built the Auchan brand with the strength of the brand, and Auchan has helped Changan Automobile to move smoothly into the passenger car market.

　　In the next three years, Changan Auchan entered a golden age. If it is pessimistic, it seems to be the last carnival of fuel vehicles, because the development of China automobile soon reached a turning point.

　　Behind the Shuang Sheng, the fuel car is shrinking silently.

　　In 2022, Rao, Changan Auchan, who still made a lot of money in the field of fuel vehicles, realized that this was not a long-term solution, so he launched Auchan Z6 and the hybrid model Auchan Z6 iDD, in order to get out of the comfort zone and want to inject new energy into Changan Auchan brand.

　　However, the injected new energy force is in conflict with the low-end market where it is located, and the premium brought by new technologies and the existing audience groups begin to contradict, and soon Changan Auchan, who once climbed all the way, began to slow down.

　　As a fuel model, Auchan Z6 has not reproduced the excellent performance of Auchan X7 and X5 since its launch. However, the hybrid model Auchan Z6 iDD did not arouse much splash. In the final analysis, it is the mismatch between technology and pricing. The plug-in hybrid in the market has already appeared the standard answer like BYD, so Auchan is even more silent.

　　It never rains but it pours. This year, the fuel car market began to shrink, and it was very obvious. In 2022, the sales volume of passenger cars in China was 23.563 million, a year-on-year increase of 9.5%.

　　Among them, new energy vehicles sold 6.887 million vehicles in the whole year, up 93.4% year-on-year, and the market share increased to 25.6%, up from 12.1% in the previous year. In other words, in 2022, the sales volume of passenger cars in China will increase by 9.5% year-on-year, and the role of new energy vehicles is the biggest.

　　From the sales data, the sales volume of fuel vehicles decreased by more than 2 million units in 2022. However, Chang ‘an’s 2022 answer sheet hit a new high in five years. It is worth noting that Changan Automobile also disclosed the main subsidiaries and shareholding companies that affected the company’s net profit by more than 10% in 2022. Specifically, Aouita lost 2.015 billion yuan, Changan New Energy lost 3.196 billion yuan and Changan Ford lost 2.449 billion yuan.

　　But the reality of the market is that no matter how hard we try to absorb nutrients, it is limited, especially when the market is shrinking.

　　Therefore, the weakness of Changan Auchan this year is becoming more and more obvious, and the shrinking market has caused many brands to start to cut prices on a large scale. The most serious impact of this year’s price war is the low-priced market, because the price itself is already very low, but the price above will be under pressure, so the impact on Changan Auchan’s fuel vehicles this year can be imagined.

　　New energy sources are cutting prices, old first-line fuel vehicles are cutting prices, and second-line Auchan’s living space is constantly being compressed, so the beginning of head pressure is the beginning of the disappearance below.

　　Reflected in the sales volume, the sales volume of Changan Auchan brand in November 2023 was 22,526 vehicles, up 32.7% year-on-year and down 19.9% quarter-on-quarter.

　　The chain of single products is also declining. In November, the sales volume of Changan Auchan X5 PLUS was 5,771 units, down 7.97% from the previous month. However, it accounted for 28.83% of Changan automobile sales, and its ranking in SUV sales dropped by 4 places compared with last month.

　　It can be seen that Changan Auchan is still a pillar for Changan brand in the fuel vehicle sector, but it will inevitably be slightly affected when the whole market begins to compress.

　　This means it’s time to shuffle again.

　　The old does not go, the new does not come.

　　This wave of Auchan’s return to Chang ‘an may mean that Chang ‘an is carrying out brand reconstruction and sequence rejuvenation. In fact, from the beginning of this year, Changan has been making adjustments, starting with new energy vehicles and launching a multi-brand strategy.

　　Deep Blue announced that it would change its name to "Deep Blue Automobile", or it would change from Changan to an independent operation mode, similar to the relationship between Geely and Krypton Automobile. The official said, "Changan Deep Blue was changed to Deep Blue Car to make the brand clearer, and nothing else has changed."

　　In the second half of the year, Changan Qiyuan was officially released. Changan Automobile’s new energy will become a parallel pattern of Qiyuan, Deep Blue and Aouita. Qiyuan is different from Aouita and Deep Blue. Both of them have Changan as the largest shareholder, but Qiyuan is a series of brands hatched by Changan Automobile, which is 100% owned by Changan Automobile. This means that Qiyuan, a "son" in the field of new energy, has higher autonomy.

　　The new energy field pushes three in one breath, and the brand in the fuel vehicle field returns, and the focus of Changan is clear at a glance. It seems that the three brands cover almost all the current new energy power scenarios, and Aouita and Deep Blue also have the advantage of intelligence with the help of Huawei. But in fact, there is no strong profit cow in Chang ‘an’s new energy.

　　Let’s start with Aouita, who has made his debut for the longest time. Last week, there was a major personnel change in Aouita, and Zhu Huarong, Party Secretary and Chairman of Changan Automobile, served as Chairman of Aouita Science and Technology. Zhu Huarong’s appointment is an important manifestation of his great attention to Aouita.

　　As the "eldest son", Aouita shoulders the responsibility of Changan to attack the high-end field of new energy, so Changan will spare no effort to pull Huawei, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited and other allies to pour a lot of resources, technology and funds into Aouita. However, the sales volume and cognition did not seem to break out. In the first 11 months of this year, the highest monthly sales volume in Aouita was only 2,825 vehicles, and the sales volume in other months remained at around 1,000 vehicles. It seems that the target of 100,000 vehicles can only be achieved less than one fifth.

　　Therefore, Aouita 12 tried to break through the bottleneck, and the result is still unknown. Changan’s new energy rhythm broke out this year, and the mid-range dark blue car and the low-end Changan Qiyuan were sorted out successively, but some of them fell behind.

　　Compared with several other independent brands, both the main brand and the new series are somewhat slow. The leading BYD is even catching up with Tesla this year. It is predicted that BYD accounts for 17% of the global pure tram market, and it is expected to surpass it in the fourth quarter of this year and become the first in the world.

　　In the first 11 months, the cumulative sales volume of Guangzhou Automobile Ai ‘an was 434,000 units, and the growth rate in the first half of the year was amazing. Geely’s five products in three years have sold about 94,000 vehicles as of November this year. Combined with the new models launched at present, it is hopeful to complete the total sales of 120,000 vehicles in 2023.

　　In contrast, Aouita delivered 21,483 units in the first 11 months, while Deep Blue delivered 122,000 units in the first 11 months. It’s not a remarkable achievement. I don’t know if I can turn the situation around with Aouita’s 12 big break of 20,000 vehicles.

　　Changan’s iron triangle of new energy has already begun to take shape, but it will take time for the "three carriages" to be quickly accepted by the market. According to the plan, Changan Automobile will have 27 new energy products in 2025, among which Changan Qiyuan will launch 10 new digital intelligent evolution new automobile products. At the same time, Deep Blue Auto will launch 6 models and 4 models from Aouita, totaling more than 20 heavyweight products. The sales volume of new energy reached 1.2 million vehicles, accounting for 40%, and by 2030, the sales volume will reach 2.4 million vehicles, accounting for 60%.

　　Although the plan is beautiful, Chang ‘an’s fuel is under pressure, and new energy has not yet broken through the shackles and ushered in an outbreak. Therefore, Changan carefully adjusted the chessboard, further reclaimed the brand of fuel vehicles, and accelerated the development of new energy, which may be Changan’s main plan for 2024.

　　Auchan’s rebranding into Chang ‘an seems to indicate the future in which independent fuel brands will gradually shrink.

According to the latest revelations, the Huawei Mate 70 series not only continues Huawei’s consistent high-end business style in design, but also innovates in details, making it the most recognizable and business-minded generation in the Mate series.

The new Mate series machines in successive generations have been highly sought after and are often in short supply. According to the blogger’s revelations in the comment area, although the stock of the Mate 70 series is sufficient, in the face of the enthusiasm of the majority of users, "grabbing" will become the norm. Therefore, for users looking forward to the Mate 70 series, it will be key to prepare in advance and seize the opportunity to launch.

Summarizing the previously leaked information, the Huawei Mate 70 series is expected to officially debut in October-November. At that time, this new machine, which integrates innovative design, excellent performance and advanced systems, will undoubtedly become the focus of the market.

Dear friends, have you ever been worried about choosing a car? AT, CVT, DCT, these terms are dazzling. Today, I will give you a general idea of the difference between these gearboxes, so as to help you not be confused when choosing a car.

1. Manual gearbox (MT)

First of all, we have to talk about the manual gearbox, which is MT. This kind of gearbox needs us to do it ourselves and shift gears according to factors such as speed and speed. It’s like a "hands-on" friend, which needs us to worry more. But it is this "hurry-scurry" that makes many people feel that MT is a bit troublesome. Moreover, many novice drivers are not sure about the timing of shifting, and it is easy to have problems such as frustration and flameout. So, MT gearbox is more suitable for drivers who like driving and pursue a sense of control. Low fuel consumption, cheap maintenance and high durability.

2. Automatic gearbox (AT)

Automatic gearbox, that is, AT, can be said to be the gospel of lazy people. Step on the accelerator and the gearbox will automatically help you choose the right gear. There is no need to worry about the frustration caused by the wrong shift timing. Moreover, the AT gearbox has fast response speed and smooth shifting, which makes driving easier. However, AT gearbox also has its shortcomings. First of all, its cost and maintenance are relatively high; Secondly, some AT gearboxes will feel frustrated at low speed. So, AT gearbox is more suitable for friends who pursue driving comfort.

3. Continuously variable transmission (CVT)

Continuously variable transmission, that is, CVT, can be said to be the "chameleon" in the transmission. It is not in the traditional sense, but transmits power through two cone wheels and steel belts. This means that it can continuously change the transmission ratio and make the acceleration of the vehicle smoother. CVT gearbox performs very well in urban commuting and daily transportation, and its fuel consumption is relatively low. But ah, CVT gearbox also has its shortcomings. For example, its carrying capacity is relatively small and it is not suitable for intense driving; For another example, some CVT gearboxes will slip when accelerating rapidly. So, CVT gearbox is more suitable for friends who pay attention to economy and comfort.

4.（DCT）

Dual clutch gearbox, namely DCT, can be said to be the choice of high-end players. It combines the advantages of manual gearbox and automatic gearbox, and has the characteristics of fast response and smooth shift. At high speed, DCT gearbox can provide better acceleration performance and fuel economy. But ah, DCT gearbox also has its shortcomings. For example, its manufacturing cost is high; For another example, the technical requirements for drivers are relatively high. So, DCT gearbox is more suitable for friends who pursue high performance and driving pleasure.

Having said that, everyone should have a general understanding of these gearboxes. Actually, which gearbox to choose depends on your own needs and preferences. If you are a driver who likes driving and pursues a sense of control, then MT gearbox is definitely the best choice. If you are a friend who pursues driving comfort, then AT gearbox is definitely more suitable for you. If you are a friend who pays attention to economy and comfort, then CVT gearbox will definitely not let you down; If you are a friend who pursues high performance and driving pleasure, then DCT gearbox can definitely meet your needs. Personally, I recommend Aisin and ZF AT gearbox, but CVT doesn’t recommend it.

Finally, what I want to say is that no matter what kind of gearbox you choose, safety is the most important. So, while enjoying driving, we should always remember that safety comes first! I hope this article can be helpful to everyone, and I wish you all the best in choosing your favorite model! If you like it, just like it. If you don’t like it, just say something about me.
