Chapter 1250: Impact Laboratory
All the representatives attending the meeting will make some proposals, which will then be discussed with everyone, in order to make progress together. r?anwen??????????`???
However, the proposals are the same every year. Those small car companies all want the big car companies to make concessions and give them some technology for nothing. The big car companies want to merge those small car companies to expand their scale. Merging is much more cost-effective than building a new factory, let alone a group of skilled workers.
Those factories that produce spare parts want more orders and want to increase the price of spare parts. But it never occurred to them that what they are doing is the part with the lowest technical content, so how can they have the qualifications to negotiate conditions!
This year, Bingcheng Machinery Manufacturing Group had a new proposal, which caught Wang Donghui's attention at that time. Bingcheng Machinery Manufacturing Group will invest huge sums of money to expand their laboratories, and at the same time call on other car companies to join, like car companies in Europe, the United States, and Japan, to jointly establish the Huaxia ncap evaluation system.
There are several advantages in this way. First, everyone jointly conducts impact tests in one laboratory, which can avoid redundant construction of the laboratory and save money. Second, everyone conducts experiments in the same laboratory, so the evaluation standards are exactly the same, mutual supervision, there is no possibility of fraud, and the safety is more trustworthy by consumers. Third, it can be more in line with international standards. After all, this evaluation system is recognized by the world and helps domestic car companies go abroad.
Although all car companies have their own crash test rooms, except for the Bingcheng Machinery Manufacturing Group, they are relatively rough. Most of the models they produce are joint ventures of foreign companies, and they have passed the crash test abroad, so Domestically, it is relatively simple.
And some small car companies, the crash tests done are also very rough, and even many of them are fake data, as long as they are fooled by the above. The cost of a crash test is not a small amount.
A top-level dummy mold costs millions of RMB, and the cost of each collision is at least RMB 100,000 or 200,000. If a good car is used, the price will be even higher.
The test of a new car requires multiple crash tests, how much do you think it will cost? Those small domestic car companies simply cannot afford it.
The sales of Songjiang Automobile in foreign countries are not very good, which is also related to the low star rating of ncap. According to European standards, the best level of the Songjiang National Olympics can barely be regarded as 4 stars, and the others are only 3 stars. And the score of the elf just reached 2 stars.
In Europe and the United States, cars are one of the most important means of transportation, and the accident rate there is relatively high. Therefore, the safety of the car is very important. No one wants to have an accident, right?
As for Huaxia, they are far from paying enough attention to these things. Feng Yu even saw child seats for sale in the market last year. The child sat in the back by himself and didn't even know how to put on a seat belt.
Just a child seat can actually provide a lot of safety protection for children. Feng Yu also asked Bingcheng Machinery Manufacturing Group to manufacture this children's chair, but the market response was mediocre, and many people thought it was useless at all.
From a serious point of view, if there is a car accident, whether there is a child seat or not does not matter much, and the injury should still be injured. Some people even think that it is safer to hold their children on their laps or in their arms. In case of accidents, they can use their bodies to shield their children from danger.
Although in theory, the human body can also achieve a certain degree of protection, but Feng Yu still believes that the effect of child safety seats is better, and when adults inevitably have negligence, the seats will not. And when an accident occurs, adults may not be able to react.
If it is necessary to add a layer of protection, the adult sits next to the child, and the protection of the child will be higher.
In the previous life, Huaxia only established the cap in 2005, and it was still led by a private company, and the leader was Li Dafu. Those people in state-owned enterprises are still fighting on their own.
In this life, China's car exports were earlier,
Feng Yu believes that this star rating standard should be established earlier to improve the competitiveness of some Chinese car companies.
The establishment of this standard abroad is not too early, and the most influential European evaluation system only started in 1997. So now build, the gap will not be particularly large. If you wait a few more years, it may be even more difficult to catch up.
It can be said that as long as China's evaluation system is recognized by Europe, it will be recognized globally. For example, there is the Chevrolet sedan in the United States. In the evaluation of the United States, the average score is above 4 stars, but in the European laboratory, the comprehensive evaluation is only 2 stars.
Among the cars, the one with the leading evaluation coefficient at this time is Volvo, which was acquired by the Chinese car company in the previous life. It is also because of the acquisition of Volvo that China's evaluation system has been truly recognized internationally.
"Everyone, what do you think about Mr. Li's proposal?" Wang Donghui asked.
"I don't think it's necessary? We all have our own laboratories. Why do we use other people's laboratories for experiments? Lao Li, your company is already very profitable, so there is no need to make money from brother companies in this regard. Is it the money?" Mr. Zhao said angrily.
"Since Mr. Zhao asked, let me explain. Our group company has its own laboratories, including materials laboratory, parts laboratory, power laboratory, vehicle laboratory, emission laboratory, noise laboratory, vibration laboratory Laboratory, durability laboratory, environmental wind tunnel laboratory, metrology center, etc., I would like to ask, which of your companies has more complete laboratories than ours?"
"Just talking about this impact laboratory, we plan to invest 200 million U.S. dollars. Remember, it is 200 million U.S. dollars! The cost of a dummy in it is more than 1 million RMB. This still has to be purchased from abroad. Our domestic It is impossible to make such a precise dummy. Although there are only two types of impact tests for a car, the front and side, the data of different positions of the dummy must be tested every time. The impact test of a new car requires dozens of tests. Times, even hundreds of times, we can do it now, who of you did it?"
"Without these tests, it would be difficult for our cars to be recognized abroad. The cars we export to Europe and the United States must be tested and evaluated there. In everyone's opinion, our cars should be safe, right? , there is still a big gap. Safety is one of the most important considerations for many families when buying a car."
"Don't you really want to spend your whole life in China and never think about earning foreign exchange through export? You only think about producing joint venture cars and never think about producing your own brand of cars? You never think about buying other people's technology all your life, let yourself technology surpasses others?"
"This new impact test laboratory, fully invested by our Bingcheng Machinery Manufacturing Group, will be a national-level laboratory, and our other laboratories will also be national-level. We will build the largest in Asia. As an automotive engineering laboratory, we need to make others believe in our standards. If anyone wants to stay in their own country for the rest of their lives and watch outsiders export in to earn our money, then just pretend I didn’t say this, our ice city Machinery Manufacturing Group, come by yourself!"
