Chapter 1246: Technological Breakthrough

"Old Li, you said we can mass-produce large-displacement engines? Hahaha, yes, that's great!"

Bingcheng Machinery Manufacturing Group has always attached great importance to the research of engines, and they have always been very happy to cooperate with Bingfei Factory. As the company's profits are getting higher and higher, more and more expenses are invested in research and development, and technological progress is also getting faster and faster.

A few years ago, Bingcheng Machinery Manufacturing Group was able to produce large-displacement engines, but the cost was nearly double that of other large car companies. That means that they are only competitive in China, and they are nothing when they go abroad.

Now there are only two models of Songjiang Automobile that are well-known abroad, one is the Oriental Deer, and the other is the Elf. As for the Olympic Games, which are very popular in China, they are not selling well in Europe and the United States except in Eastern Europe.

Many Europeans and Americans like large-displacement cars, especially SUVs, and they require high-strength power. The original 4500 of Crazy Field was a low-cost large-displacement engine that created history, and it also made them a big name among large-displacement SUVs. And now, Crazy Field has successfully researched a low-cost displacement engine, making another breakthrough.

It’s not that other large car companies don’t have engines with larger displacements. It is said that Volkswagen, Ford, etc. have engine technologies with 4,800 displacements, and are even researching 6,000 displacement engines, but they are only applied to luxury cars and sports cars, not to Toyota. Same, used in low-end cars.

One is that the technology is not yet fully mature, and if it is mass-produced, the cost will be too high and it will lose its competitiveness. Crazy Field has done a very good job in this regard. It has excellent cost control and the price will not be too high, firmly occupying the market of large-displacement SUVs.

It is also with the 4500 model that Crazy Field still maintains some popularity in China, and has not been completely suppressed by Songjiang and Volkswagen.

However, FAW mentioned to Crazy Field that they want to let Crazy Field take out this model as a joint venture. Anyway, you have 4700. But Crazy Field refused. Selling it by yourself is obviously more profitable, and it is also a kind of technical blockade.

If yàoshì FAW has mastered the production and manufacturing technology of this kind of engine, then Crazy Field can only be a joint venture forever. In the case of a joint venture, it is obvious that Huaxia's car companies will take advantage of it, and of course Crazy Field is not willing.

If it wasn't for the purpose of opening up the market, they wouldn't be willing to form a joint venture with a Huaxia car company. The changes brought about by all these are also because of the Songjiang brand car.

Their current goal is to continue to maintain brand promotion, so that they can gradually erode China's car companies in the future, and completely occupy this market. In this way, there will be no doubt that Crazy Field will become the world's number one car company.

...

To say that the new engine of Bingcheng Machinery is actually an imitation of the V-type engine of the public, and the inspiration comes from the aircraft engine.

As early as the 1920s, someone used a W12 aircraft engine to assemble a 24L displacement car, which caused a sensation in the world. That's right, it's 24L, not 2.4L.

Naturally, Bingfei Factory also has W-type engine technology, but they have never considered it in the direction of automobiles. They have been still researching, V-type engines.

The V6 was successful, but the V8 was very difficult and could be manufactured, but the cost was much higher than that of the public.

So Feng Yu reminded them, can't two V6s be connected side by side to form a W12 engine?

This sentence reminded the engineers sent by the ice flying factory, they immediately thought of the W12 aircraft engine of their own factory, in fact, this is already an obsolete aircraft engine.

But it would be nice to update some technology and apply it to the car.

The first thing to do is to miniaturize the engine, reduce its displacement, and control it below 6L. A large displacement is indeed powerful, but if the displacement is too large, it will consume too much fuel.

They even thought that since they have a V4 engine, they can also change it to a W8 engine, which must be smaller than the V8.

If the engine is too large,

It is impossible to install four-wheel drive on the car, only the rear drive can be used, and the engine is smaller, so these problems can be solved.

Four-wheel drive vehicles have better handling and better off-road performance. This high-power engine, they themselves were researched for the new Oriental Deer.

The successful research this time is the W8 engine with a displacement of 4.0L, which is China's first self-developed engine with a displacement of more than 4L.

"Is the performance of this engine stable? Can you continue to increase the power?" Feng Yu asked happily.

With this engine, the off-road performance of Dongfang Shenlu will be greatly improved. With its brand advantage and price advantage, it will definitely not have any problem in defeating Crazy Field.

And it can also produce a mid-end SUV, which can be pushed to the European and American markets. Over there, many people still like large-displacement off-road vehicles very much. Even in China, many people like it.

"No problem, we have been able to manufacture W10 and W12 engines in the laboratory, but we don't think there is any need for W10, because the cylinder can be increased to become a single cylinder with a displacement of 600, then W8 can theoretically reach 4.8L Displacement, power greatly increased."

"Very good, so how far is the gap between us and foreign advanced engines?" Feng Yu asked seriously.

"If it is an engine that is applied to ordinary cars and SUVs, there is still a gap of about ten years. But if we count the technology of sports cars and laboratories, we still have a gap of thirty years. Ferrari's V8 engine, it is said There are already 8L displacement."

The displacement of a single cylinder of 1L can still be installed on a small sports car, which shows how powerful its technology is. The Bingcheng Machinery Manufacturing Group yàoshì built a V8 engine with a displacement of 8L, so it is probably twice the size of a Ferrari, so how can it be installed on the car?

However, this kind of advanced large-displacement engine has a relatively narrow application range, and is generally used in sports cars. China's road conditions limit the development of sports cars. Songjiang launched that sports car, and the sales can only be said to be mediocre. However, due to higher taxes on imported sports cars from abroad, their sales are not very good.

On the contrary, there is a very capable person in Shanghai. Just like Feng Yu's way back then, the price of imported second-hand foreign sports cars will be much lower. Then it was repaired, and the chūqù was sold again. It is said that it made a lot of money.

But it doesn't matter. Although the profits of sports cars are high, the models with higher sales are still ordinary cars and SUVs. The sports car cannot be given up. It is just a temporary choice.

Songjiang's SUV has the greatest reputation abroad, so of course we must keep it. As for sports cars, they haven't been sold abroad yet.

"In this way, the gap between us and foreign large-scale car companies in the field of ordinary family cars and SUVs is getting smaller and smaller. Very good, we will launch a large-displacement SUV and our new high-end sedan at the same time. For sports cars, Also launch a new one. There are other models to consider, those foreign car brands that have become active in recent years must be suppressed again!"
