  core reading

  During the epidemic, most people were "staying at home", but the takeaway brother was very busy, delivering food, medicine, food… How to protect their own safety, everyone is also very concerned. The reporter interviewed three takeaway brothers in Shanghai, Chongqing and Yinchuan, and asked them to talk about their protection and work feelings during the epidemic prevention and control period.

  Shanghai, delivery brother Zhao Hongwu

  Protecting your own safety is also a responsibility to others

  "From New Year’s Eve to now, I haven’t rested yet." In Shanghai, Zhao Hongwu, the delivery brother of the online fresh food delivery platform, had a very busy time.

  Affected by the epidemic, recently, Shanghai citizens generally stay at home to fight the epidemic. If you want to eat some fresh vegetables, online order delivery to your home has become a popular choice.

  "Usually, each of our delivery staff has dozens of orders a day," Zhao Hongwu said. During the busiest time of the festival, there are only 70 or 80 orders. But now, from 7 am to 9 pm, "The dish is to be fresh, and the sooner it is delivered to the customer, the better."

  Running on the road every day, Zhao Hongwu and his colleagues have the most direct experience of the changes brought by the epidemic to the city: there are fewer cars and fewer people on the road, and the most coming and going are the electric cars of the delivery staff and couriers. In order to make these electric cars safe to drive, in Shanghai Pudong and other places, the traffic police also set up special traffic safety publicity classes.

  "I am very careful, never speeding," Zhao Hongwu said. During this time, he rode on the road, and his sense of responsibility became stronger. "The gifts are all for the citizens to eat, to protect their own safety, and to be responsible to others. For the sake of thousands of families, we are not afraid to rush!"

  "At the beginning of the Chinese New Year, it could still be delivered to the customer’s door." Zhao Hongwu said that with the changes in the epidemic situation, some communities gradually adopted closed management, and the dishes could only be delivered to the gate of the community and then notified to the customer to pick them up. "At first, many people were not used to it, and they felt that they had to walk more, and some complained on the phone." But Zhao Hongwu found it understandable, "After all, during the special period, everyone should understand each other."

  With the increasingly strict epidemic prevention and control measures in Shanghai, all residential areas in Shanghai are now under closed management, and the delivered dishes are all sent to the gate of the community for temporary storage, and then picked up by the citizens. "Some residential areas have also specially made shelves, and the dishes are arranged neatly." Zhao Hongwu said that not having to send them upstairs has indeed made himself a lot easier, and the number of daily deliveries has also increased. The salary is calculated according to the workload, and the income has also increased a lot. However, he still hopes that the epidemic will pass quickly. "I hope everyone is healthy and safe."

  Running outside every day, for the "delivery brothers", the epidemic prevention and control risk is greater than that of people staying at home. Zhao Hongwu admitted that his family members far away in Anhui would also worry about him, and he would video them every night to report safety. "The company has done a good job of protecting us, sending masks and gloves," Zhao Hongwu said. Now the first thing he does when he goes to work at the delivery point every day is to take his temperature, and the warehouse is disinfected every day. The frequency is also very high. Speaking of these, the family is much more at ease.

  "Don’t talk about it, I’m going to be busy." On the electric car, carrying fish, meat and vegetables, Zhao Hongwu sent dinner ingredients to several families…

  Chongqing, delivery brother Li Xiong

  Drug orders are increasing.

  "You have a new order!" A familiar voice sounded, and Li Xiong, the takeaway brother, received another order. This is a pharmacy order, and the customer bought anti-inflammatory tablets and loquat paste.

  Li Xiong, a food delivery rider in Chongqing’s Dadukou district, has stuck to his post since the epidemic and has not rested during the Spring Festival. Every day, Li Xiong goes to work "fully armed", wearing a mask and helmet, disinfecting food boxes and other tools, and wearing a "no-contact peace of mind delivery" card, which records his temperature and disinfection of food boxes today.

  During this time, the site is relatively quiet. On weekdays, there are more than 100 colleagues working, but now there are only about 30 colleagues, many of whom are under home observation. However, Li Xiong’s work is easier because there are fewer orders. The average daily order is about 20, which is only about 60% of the usual. In the past, when he was busy, he had to work overtime until late at night, and now he can get off work at 6 pm. "After 6 o’clock, the mall is basically closed, and we have nothing to do," Li Xiong said.

  With fewer orders, the company earns less. However, considering that supermarkets have more orders, the company provides weight subsidies to employees. For example, some customers buy a lot of vegetables and drinks at one time, as long as it exceeds 5 kilograms, employees can receive subsidies by weight.

  There are more drug orders than before, and Li Xiong delivers medicine about 1/3 of the time every day. Now pharmacies have stricter management, and online drug orders need to verify and register customer information.

  In order to prevent and control the epidemic, during this time, the takeaway platform has quietly developed the "contactless delivery" method. Before the Chinese New Year, his site advocated "contactless delivery" for everyone. Specifically, the courier contacted the customer in advance and hung the goods on the door handle or the front desk to reduce the risk. Now, it is more strict. In Chongqing, the community has been closed, and outsiders are not allowed to enter. The public’s awareness of epidemic prevention is also relatively strong, and they generally do not contact outsiders. "A tacit understanding has been formed, and everyone basically chooses not to meet," Li Xiong said.

  The customer for this drug order lives in the Guoruicheng community on Chunhui Road Street. Outside the community, Li Xiong saw a bright red banner – "Wash your hands frequently and disinfect more to keep away from bad viruses." A small loudspeaker played repeatedly, reminding the crowd entering and leaving, "Don’t go out, don’t gather, wear a mask, and be hygienic…" After Li Xiong communicated with the customer by phone, the other party chose to pick up the goods without contact. He put the medicine in the property management office and rushed to the next community non-stop.

  Even so, there were occasional customers who "requested to meet". Li Xiong was a little puzzled, thinking that the other party did not trust him. Unexpectedly, an old man gave him two masks in person: "Young man, there are many masks in my house, you should take good protection." Although it was a cloudy day that day, Li Xiong smiled brightly.

  Yinchuan, delivery brother Zhou Peng

  Rider delivery has protective measures.

  The warmer weather in Yinchuan didn’t stay for a few days before another round of cooling. Zhou Peng, a delivery rider, waited for customers to pick up their meals in front of the community. About 5 meters away from him, a large bag of goods was placed. After waiting for less than 10 minutes, the residents of the community who came to pick up the goods took away the shopping bags under Zhou Peng’s gaze, and the volunteers in front of the community disinfected the shopping bags. Zhou Peng also launched an electric car and rushed to the site to deliver the next order.

  The "peace of mind card" hanging on Zhou Peng’s takeaway clothes is marked with his name, body temperature and information on whether to disinfect food boxes and other information. Zhou Peng told reporters that the "contactless peace of mind delivery" service avoids face-to-face contact between riders and customers.

  During the epidemic, about a dozen orders were delivered every day, and there were obvious differences in the types of delivery. "In the past, customers mainly ordered food takeout online, but now most restaurants are still closed, and customers place more orders for medicines, fruits and vegetables from supermarkets, and some daily necessities." Zhou Peng introduced.

  The delivery truck in front of Zhou Peng still has traces left by the spraying of disinfectant on the body. During the epidemic, Zhou Peng’s company formulated a detailed workflow for the delivery staff. "Before the epidemic, our routine work was to disinfect twice in the morning and evening. After the epidemic, our riders arrived at the site at 9 o’clock every day and had to measure their body temperature first. If there is no problem, they will send us masks, two a day. After that, the vehicle will be disinfected, and the food box will be disinfected every time an order is completed. Every time you return to the site after delivering a meal, you have to measure your body temperature. In addition, the company will monitor our wearing of masks through online TV and offline inspections."

  The reporter learned that Zhou Peng’s takeaway company has formulated perfect protection measures for the riders. For the risk of infection, the company provides a free protection plan for the riders. From each stage of inspection, suspected, isolation, diagnosis and treatment, the riders will be given corresponding protection subsidies, up to 300,000 yuan. If the rider’s family members seek medical treatment due to COVID-19 infection, they can also receive corresponding subsidies and guarantees, including life care funds, disease condolences, reimbursement of outpatient and emergency medical expenses and a special guarantee of up to 100,000 yuan.

  Zhou Peng, a 38-year-old native of Yinchuan, has been working as a takeaway deliveryman for four years. "In the past, when I delivered food, I always hoped that there would be fewer cars and fewer people on the road, so that it would not affect my delivery speed." Now that the streets of Yinchuan are empty, Zhou Peng misses the lively street scenes of the past. "I believe that the epidemic will soon pass, and our lives will be as lively as before," Zhou Peng told reporters in a gust of cold wind!

Li Liang: How can the East and the West communicate and dialogue under the same starry sky?

  China News Agency, Beijing, October 26th: Under the same starry sky, how can the East and the West carry out exchanges and dialogues?

  - Interview with Li Liang, a researcher at the Institute of Natural Science History of the Chinese Academy of Sciences

  Authors, Xu Jing, Du Yan

  From ancient times to the present, the mysterious and magnificent vast starry sky has attracted the attention of different human civilizations on earth. "Chasing dreams and galaxies" is not only the romantic feelings of ordinary people, but also the pursuit of people’s careers for thousands of years. "The calendar is like the sun, moon and stars, and the time of the people is honored". People’s observation activities of the starry sky are closely related to production and life, resulting in a number of great inventions, which promote the development of science and technology.

  Li Liang, a researcher at the Institute of Natural Science History of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, recently accepted an exclusive interview with China News Agency’s "East-West Question", tracing how human beings go from looking up at the starry sky to space step by step, telling how the East and the West communicate and dialogue around the same starry sky, explaining the role of "looking up at the starry sky" in promoting scientific progress and the development of civilization for thousands of years, and why human beings will continue their journey to the sea of stars to explore the boundless universe.

  A summary of the interview is as follows:

  China News Agency reporter: Why do humans observe the starry sky? When did astronomical records begin?

  Li Liang:The history of humans looking up at the starry sky is very early, dating back thousands or even tens of thousands of years. Astronomical observations can be said to have originated from some of the most basic human questions, such as "who are we" and "where do we come from".

  Archaeological evidence suggests that ancient Chinese astronomical observation activities date back at least to the Neolithic period. In the 1970s, a batch of Neolithic painted pottery with patterns of the sun, moon and stars was unearthed in Dahe Village, Zhengzhou, Henan Province, which was determined to be about 4,000 to 6,000 years ago. The discovery of the site of the Tao Temple Observatory in Shanxi Province confirms that there was an official observatory in China at least 4,000 years ago. It is currently one of the earliest observatories in the world discovered by archaeology.

  From the existing archaeological and historical data, it can be seen that since about the 8th century BC, humans have had a relatively systematic celestial record.

  The magnificent starry sky has always attracted the attention of different human civilizations on earth, but only ancient Babylon, ancient China, and European and Arab civilizations after the Middle Ages have left a rich legacy of astronomical records. Especially after the decline of ancient Babylon, between 50 BC and 800 AD, China became almost the only country that has been diligent in observing and recording celestial phenomena for a long time. Most of the surviving celestial records from this period also came from China.

  Astronomy has many applications and is a very useful science. From a modern perspective, the accuracy and complexity achieved by ancient astronomy far exceeded that of other ancient natural sciences.

  China News Agency reporter: Why does the same starry sky form different constellations in the east and the west? Why is the star map called "the epitome of the world at that time"?

  Li Liang:For thousands of years, people in different regions have looked up at the same starry sky, but have their own understanding and interpretation of the starry sky.

  Almost every ancient civilization had its own constellation system. The modern constellation system we still use today originated in Mesopotamia 5,000 years ago. At that time, the Sumerians had learned how to use stars to distinguish time and season. Gradually, in order to facilitate memory, they connected different stars and imagined familiar patterns. This is the origin of constellations. Later, constellation observations here were further developed, spreading to the surrounding areas such as ancient Greece and ancient Egypt, and influencing the surrounding civilizations. In the 2nd century AD, the ancient Greek astronomer Ptolemy summed up 48 constellations on the basis of his predecessors. This is the basic prototype of the modern constellation system. It can be said that Western traditional constellations were produced on the basis of long-term mutual exchanges and integration of multiple civilizations, and are the crystallization of the wisdom of early agricultural and animal husbandry civilizations and maritime civilizations.

  Among the four ancient civilizations, only the Chinese civilization has continued to this day. Ancient China had its own theoretical system for dividing and naming the sky, and the constellations were usually called "star officials". The star official system took shape at the latest in the Warring States period, which was composed of the North Star and the Big Dipper, as well as the twenty-eight constellations in the Yellow Equatorial Belt. During the Three Kingdoms period, Chen Zhuo further determined the star official system of 283 star officials and 1,464 stars, which became the standard for the star official system in ancient China in the future. In the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, people added some constellations translated from the West, and eventually formed about 300 star officials.

  Unlike traditional Western constellations, which are mainly based on myths and legends, the ancient Chinese star official system can be said to be a reflection of society and culture in the sky, with unique cultural connotations. When Zhang Heng described ancient star officials in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he believed: "In the wild elephants, in the court elephants, in officials, in people and things, so it is ready." Therefore, most of China’s star names are named after artifacts, official names, and personnel, and the sky has become a microcosm of all aspects of the ancient world, social systems, and humanistic customs.

  In order to use and spread constellations, the ancients drew them on different materials, gradually forming the later star map. Star maps are not only a way for people to understand and record the starry sky, but also an important tool for studying and learning astronomy. They contain the infinite wisdom and imagination of human beings and are a microcosm of human exploration of the universe.

  Star maps were also known as astronomical maps in ancient China. There were many types of star maps in ancient China, which were exquisitely and meticulously drawn. They were an important achievement of scientific civilization and were rare in world history.

  China News Agency: As an important part of science, has Chinese and foreign astronomy exchanged ideas and learned from each other in the process of development?

  Li Liang:Astronomy has been a very important subject since ancient times. Among the four major sciences of heaven, arithmetic, agriculture and medicine in ancient China, astronomy was responsible for the important task of "chronicling the sun, moon and stars, and honoring the time of the people", which was closely related to production and life.

  The astronomical calendar occupied a pivotal position in the political system of ancient China, and was even enshrined as an official "orthodox" school for a long time. Therefore, official institutions dedicated to observing celestial phenomena and compiling calendars emerged. This way of operation played a positive role in promoting the development of Chinese astronomy, making China a country where astronomical observation activities have never been interrupted among many ancient civilizations, thus leaving a rich astronomical heritage.

  In his History of Science and Technology in China, Joseph Needham, a British historian of science, quoted Sutton and other historians of science: "From the Middle Ages until the end of the 14th century, there was no star map other than China."

  The ancient Chinese star map spread to Japan and the Korean Peninsula, forming a unique astrological system shared by the entire East Asia region. It was also one of the important links for the dissemination of ancient science and culture. In addition, the Xuanming Calendar of the Tang Dynasty was used in Japan for 823 years, making it one of the longest-lived calendars in history. The official calendar of the Korean Sejong period (1418-1450), the "Seven Political Calculations", was compiled on the basis of the "Giving Time Calendar" of the Yuan Dynasty and the "Datong Calendar" of the Ming Dynasty.

  It can be said that under the historical and social background of "books and texts", ancient China developed an "Eastern astronomy system" that was different from that of the West, and formed a strong cultural identity in East Asia and other regions. At the same time, the astronomical exchanges and exchanges among Eastern civilizations further promoted the formation and development of Eastern astronomy traditions.

  Civilizations are colorful because of exchanges, and civilizations are enriched because of mutual learning. In the course of the development of astronomy, China has its own continuous export and special contribution, and has always been a broad-minded and inclusive of all kinds of excellent foreign science and culture. China has also introduced astronomy knowledge from outside the region many times in history, three of which are relatively large. Liang Qichao pointed out in "The Academic History of China in the Near Three Hundred Years": "Arithmetic is very developed in China in ancient times, but it has been improved every time under the influence of foreign countries. The first is the Brahman method in the Tang Dynasty, the second is the Huihui method in the Yuan Dynasty, and the third is the Western method passed down by the Jesuits in the Ming and Qing Dynasties."

  China News Agency reporter: What role does ancient Chinese astronomical records play today? What impact does the development of astronomy have on the development of human society?

  Li Liang:Ancient China had made brilliant achievements in astronomical observation and accumulated a large amount of astronomical data. Needham once commented: "The Chinese astronomical records show that the Chinese were the most persistent and accurate astronomical observers in the world before the Arabs." "Modern astronomers have turned to these Chinese astronomical records on many occasions to obtain valuable results."

  Among the objects of modern astronomy research, many are about the evolution of celestial bodies and the universe, and the time range involved is extremely long. The precious historical materials we have accumulated are of great value. For example, there are thousands of records of solar and lunar eclipses in ancient China, which are very valuable for studying the changes in the speed of the earth’s rotation. For example, ancient Chinese records of comets, novae and supernovae, as well as sunspots, played an irreplaceable role. In the 1950s, Xi Zezong, one of the pioneers of the history of Chinese science, published the "New Table of Ancient Novae", which took full advantage of the great superiority of ancient China in complete, continuous and accurate astronomical observation data, and recorded the record of nova and supernova explosions in Chinese history, which won a reputation for the history of Chinese astronomy, the history of science and even the Chinese people.

  No matter in ancient times or modern times, astronomy is the "vanguard" of scientific development. The countless questions that humans look up at the starry sky have not only promoted the development of astronomy, but also promoted the development of science and technology and civilization.

  In recent years, a number of new achievements have emerged in Chinese astronomy: the "Guo Shoujing Telescope" has helped reveal more mysteries about the Milky Way, and the "China Sky Eye" has played an important role in neutral hydrogen universe research, pulsar search and physics research. Currently, the China Sky Survey Space Telescope, the "Taiji Project", and the Square Kilometer Array Radio Telescope are advancing.

  Once upon a time, "Yi invited the medicine of immortality to the Queen Mother of the West, and Huo’e stole it to fly to the moon." Today, the moon has become an important exploration target in China’s aerospace field, with a very romantic name – "Chang’e Project"; once, Qu Yuan used a series of questions in "Tianwen" to ask and think about the origin of the entire universe. Now, the "Tianwen 1" probe and the "Zhurong" rover are providing important scientific basis for in-depth understanding of Mars; once, "Kuafu exceeded his strength and wanted to chase the sun." Now, China’s comprehensive solar exploration satellite "Kuafu 1" has been launched into space, starting a journey to explore the sun.

  The above results demonstrate that some of the major developments China has made in the fields of astronomy and aerospace have reached the international advanced or leading level.

  There are still many unsolved mysteries in the universe waiting to be explored. In distant places, there are pioneers of human civilization who represent the curiosity of human civilization and move forward all the way. In the future, China and other countries in the world will face the same sea of stars and trace the origin of mankind and the universe through the joint efforts of generations. (End)

Wubai Beijing starts singing, saying it will bloom with rock flowers (photo)

  


  Taiwan’s "rock poet" Wu Bai has appeared in Beijing, where he will hold a "You Are My Flower" concert at the Beijing Workers’ Stadium on the 18th.


  China News Service, March 17, Taiwan’s "rock poet" Wu Baijin appeared in Beijing, and on the 18th he will hold a "You are my flower" concert at the Beijing Workers’ Gymnasium.


  At the press conference on the 17th, Wu Bai said that he will make a new attempt, performing "flower dance", "fire dance" and "zombie dance" on the stage, which have swept Hong Kong and Taiwan in earlier performances and caused repercussions.


  Wu Bai is not good at dancing. The flower dance, a self-made retro dance move that exceeds expectations, he said, is simple, and "dancing to the beat" can bring different simple happiness. According to reports, the flower dance spread quickly through the Internet, and three or five young friends from Hong Kong and Taiwan danced a few beats when they were frolicking to express stress, which has a direct joy and inspiration in dull times.


  The "Wubai 2008’You Are My Flower ‘Beijing Concert" will include his important songs for 15 years. The organizers said that the concert will combine different musical elements such as coldness, electronic sound, rock, retro, warmth and touching. The tracks are matched with "rock and lyric, classic with nostalgia, cold and passionate."


  This concert features a special guest, Alan Tam, and two powerful figures in the music world will compete on the same stage.

Welcome to report through the Mini Program

The owner of parking service business around some hospitals in Xi’ an said that he was not at ease.

  Going to the hospital to see a doctor, in addition to queuing for registration, is worrying. Driving to the hospital gate for a long time can’t get in and can’t find a parking space, which is also a worrying thing for patients and their families. Recently, a new service, parking service, has quietly sprung up around some 3A hospitals in Xi ‘an to solve the parking problem. How exactly does parking service serve? The reporter had an experience in front of several hospitals.

  experience

  Depojia two-hour parking charge 39 yuan

  At 9: 00 am on April 12th, the reporter drove to the intersection of Xiwu Road and Beixin Street, and found that the vehicles heading west of the intersection to the south gate of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi ‘an Jiaotong University had lined up in two "long queues" on the auxiliary road on the north side of the road, which was very slow. The reporter roughly counted, from the intersection to the gate of the hospital, there were 60 cars on the road only 200 meters away. The coordinator at the entrance of the hospital told the reporter that there are about 500 parking spaces in the hospital, but the number of patients who come to see a doctor by car far exceeds this number. Therefore, in the morning and afternoon rush hours, there are long queues of vehicles at the entrance of the hospital at any time. In addition, there is only one entrance to the hospital, so vehicles can only move forward a little while waiting in line, and if they are fast, they have to wait for ten or twenty minutes.

  While the reporter was at a loss, a parking service man with a parking billboard came to the front of the car and asked the reporter if he needed to park on his behalf. "You give me the car, I help you park, very convenient. I take twenty or thirty orders every day, which is absolutely no problem. If you are not at ease, I will send you the keys immediately after the car stops. " The parking person hesitated to see the reporter and kept explaining in the introduction. Later, according to its requirements, the reporter scanned the code and paid attention to its company’s parking applet, selected "I want to park" online and left my mobile phone number. Immediately after paying 39 yuan with WeChat, a uniformed valet driver immediately came forward to inspect the vehicle, and then valet parking officially started. After the reporter got off the bus, another staff member wearing the uniform of the parking driver also told the reporter about the follow-up use. According to the other party, the service fee for this valet parking is 39 yuan, including valet parking and pick-up and delivery services, and parking is free for 2 hours. If it exceeds 2 hours, the overtime service fee will be charged by 4 yuan every half hour before 15: 00 and 8 yuan every half hour after 15: 00. When picking up the car, the customer can contact the parking agent directly by phone, or enter the WeChat applet and click "I want to pick up the car". The staff will drive the car directly to the designated place for delivery, or send the car keys directly to the owner.

  I don’t feel comfortable giving my car to a stranger.

  In the interview, the reporter found that in the long queue of vehicles at the entrance of the hospital, several staff members wearing parking uniforms shuttled back and forth, constantly recommending their services to drivers waiting for parking. The reporter observed for half an hour, and seven drivers chose the parking service. However, many drivers said that they "don’t dare to use it" for the time being. Mr. Lin, the owner of the car, said that it is really not at ease to hand over the car directly to strangers. "What if the driver drives away directly?" Ms. Chen, the owner of the car, is worried: "It is still a trivial matter that there is a collision. The driver of Wanyi Park has a big accident that hurts people. How should the responsibility be divided? Only the relevant records on the WeChat applet, without a paper contract, feel unreliable. "

  Later, the reporter went to Xi ‘an Children’s Hospital, and saw the parking driver wearing the same uniform at the parking entrance of the west gate of the hospital. A valet parking driver surnamed Zhang told reporters that at present, there are seven or eight valet parking drivers waiting for orders in children’s hospital every day. Due to the limited number of parking spaces in the hospital parking lot and the large number of vehicles entering the hospital, it takes about 20 minutes or even longer for each order to pick up the car and park it. Because the valet parking service at the entrance of the hospital is still a new thing, some drivers don’t know much about it and don’t accept it, so most of the orders received are old customers, and even customers who have used valet parking service will take the initiative to contact the appointment form when they are in a hurry to park.

  In the face of everyone’s questions, the reporter contacted Mr. Lu, the person in charge of Xi’ an, which provides a parking service platform. He said that at present, the parking service in Xi ‘an is only launched in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Jiaotong University, Xi ‘an Children’s Hospital and the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi ‘an Jiaotong University, and it has been in the promotion stage since it was launched on February 25. There are nearly 100 valet drivers in the company. From Monday to Friday, the time for taking orders is from 8: 00 am to 3: 00 pm every day. Now, there are nearly 1,000 orders per day on average. Although many car owners don’t know much about this, from the feedback of used car owners, everyone’s recognition is still relatively high. It is expected that this month, the platform will also open parking services for many hospitals such as Tang Dou Hospital and Provincial People’s Hospital. After the car owner successfully booked the parking service through the platform, the company will actively deal with the car owner’s concerns about vehicle rubbing and illegal vehicles during the parking period. In addition, the company has requirements for the driving experience and driving skills of the parking agent, and the driving experience must be more than 5 years. Mr. Lu also said that at present, the valet parking service at the entrance of the hospital has been carried out in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Chongqing, Wuhan, Hangzhou and Xi ‘an. Next, the platform will open services such as valet parking for travel, valet parking in business districts, and meal parking, and soon the parking service APP will be launched, so that the car owner reservation service will be more convenient.

  Parking service is a new attempt and it is necessary to strengthen supervision.

  Shi Ying, vice president of Shaanxi Academy of Social Sciences, said that as a new service mode, the parking service launched on the online platform really meets the parking needs of people who see a doctor. It is a new attempt, but supervision should be strengthened. In recent years, similar parking service services have appeared in the northern, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, but most of them are the products of commercial companies’ operation, and the fees are relatively high, which is not very acceptable to patients and their families. It is suggested that major hospitals should form an official hospital parking platform to standardize and integrate parking service services, so as to ensure the safety of vehicles to the greatest extent and protect the service personnel who park on behalf of customers.

  Shi Ying also said that parking service can’t fundamentally solve the problem of parking difficulties, and functional departments need to strengthen parking guidance services, establish a perfect parking system, and at the same time strengthen the construction of public transportation near large hospitals to alleviate the parking contradiction from the source.

  lawyer

  Both sides of the service need to be careful to avoid disputes.

  "At present, services in parking service are all commercial activities, and their development is also the general trend. However, there are no special relevant laws and regulations to restrict and supervise them in China. In the case of parking service, both car owners and parking service providers conduct online transactions, so it is necessary to legally restrict the rights and obligations of both parties. Both car owners and service providers in parking service need to be cautious to avoid unnecessary disputes." Zhao Xiaodong, a lawyer of Shaanxi Haogong Law Firm, said that from the perspective of parking service companies, parking drivers must have a driver’s license and driving experience, and at the same time, they must carry out daily management and supervision. For the owner, valuables should be carried with him before handing over the car to the driver. If the driver makes an appointment through the mobile phone client, the driver’s license and ID card must be confirmed, and both parties should protect their rights and interests.

Real shot BYD Qin PLUS DM-i, starting from 105,800, monthly sales exceeded 10,000 and reached a new high.

When the tide of new energy came, the domestic car-making forces ushered in the opportunity of overtaking in corners, and finally they could grab a certain market share from the joint venture and show their strong competitiveness. In particular, BYD dares to be the first, and has invested huge energy and financial resources in technology research and development. Scientific and technological achievements are the main weights for its participation in the war. The brand’s dynasty strategy has achieved remarkable results, and many models are among the sales stars. This article will focus on the introduction of Qin PLUS DM-i (parameter picture), and bring you a close look at its charm.

In the just-concluded August, Qin PLUS DM-i once again brought surprises. It successfully broke through the 10,000 mark and sold 13,043 vehicles in a single month, which not only became the mainstay of DM models, but also the main force for BYD to seize the market. Together with Qin EV, the car helped the Qin family to reap the share, which seemed to have the ambition of the Qin Empire to dominate the world. At present, it is difficult to find an opponent in the field of new energy vehicles of the same class, and the leading edge is obvious. Only the same door Song PLUS DM-i is still struggling to catch up.

From the appearance point of view, Qin PLUS DM-i adheres to the design concept of BYD family Dragon Face, and the front part of the "dragon mouth" air intake grille is prominent in size, and the built-in lock-in structure is full of aggression, which can show a strong sporty atmosphere. The lights on both sides have sharp shapes, and the built-in arrow-feather LED light source has excellent dynamic perception, which improves the overall recognition after being turned on at night. In addition, the middle is connected by a thick chrome trim, which not only strengthens the visual extension of the front face, but also rises to another level in the gas field.

The size is a highlight of Qin PLUS DM-i, with a length of 4765mm and a wheelbase of 2,718 mm. The interior space is very ample, even if it is full of five adults, it can barely cope, and it is not as crowded as expected. It is also very particular about seat materials, focusing on the combination of touch and wrapping, and it is difficult to feel tired when traveling long distances.

The car’s touch LCD screen is divided into 10.1-inch and 12.8-inch specifications, and the car system is also the latest achievement of BYD. DiLink 3.0 intelligent network connection system has a good reputation, not only with navigation, voice recognition and other functions, but also very convenient for daily use. Third-party software such as Tik Tok can also be downloaded, which greatly improves the entertainment.

The power system played an important role in the sales of Qin Plus DM-I. It uses BYD’s latest plug-in hybrid technology, and the pure electric cruising range is divided into two modes: 55/120 km. Among them, the NEDC’s comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 km is only 0.7 oil. After filling a tank of oil, it can easily continue driving for more than 1,000 km, and the fuel economy is quite powerful. At present, Qin PLUS DM-i is selling four models, the starting price is only 105,800 yuan, and the top model is only 145,800 yuan. The cost performance is very good.

Foreign media: Volvo was reborn after being acquired by Geely, with record sales.

  Reference News Network reported on March 1,According to foreign media, Volvo Cars, a luxury car manufacturer acquired by China auto giants in 2010, has been reborn. From January to December 2015, the global sales volume exceeded 500,000 units for the first time, and the operating profit more than tripled over the previous year. Volvo also plans to upgrade all its models by 2018, and China’s funds seem to have brought it a virtuous circle. On the other hand, the goal of "achieving sales of 800,000 units by 2020" has also surfaced.

  According to "Nihon Keizai Shimbun" reported on February 29th, "The station wagon is Volvo’s most competitive model." Hanken samuelson, President and CEO of Volvo Cars, said at the Volvo showroom in Stockholm on the 18th.The press conference on the annual final accounts and the launch conference of the V90 station wagon will be held here. After the best-selling SUV)XC90 and the flagship model S90 last year, the V90 will be the finale.

  According to the report, samuelson looks very satisfied. Last year, not only the European market recovered, but also the depressed American market improved. Volvo ranks fifth in the world in the field of advanced automobiles, ranking behind the three major German manufacturers such as BMW and Toyota.

  Volvo decided to produce locally in the United States last year, and added 2,000 R&D and design teams in Sweden. Samuelson has always advocated that Sweden should take the lead in R&D and design. It was once rumored that its parent company — — Zhejiang Geely Holding Group was dissatisfied with Volvo’s design, but in the end Geely did not intervene excessively. As an independent car department from Volvo Group, Volvo Cars will change owners almost every 10 years. In 1999, it was owned by Ford Motor Company of the United States, and in 2010, it was acquired by Geely. Some employees said that the degree of freedom under Geely is greater than that under Ford. "With Volvo’s rebirth, the city is thriving," said a senior executive of SKF, a bearing giant also headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden.

  According to the report, in 2016, Volvo’s flagship models at all levels will all debut. The profit margin is already high, and the unified standard of parts and components will also bring results. It is expected that the income will continue to increase in 2016, setting a new record. Samuelson said ambitiously that all models will be upgraded before 2018.

  The production platform will also be unified. Starting from 2017, the second small and medium-sized car production platform will be put into production, which will unify the standards with Geely’s models, aiming at laying the foundation for the "800,000-unit era".

  The uniqueness of Volvo cars is that they have never taken the usual road. In addition to joining online shopping, the auto show has been concentrated in Geneva, Detroit and China (Beijing and Shanghai) since last year. The company’s management said, "At the auto show, reporters ran between booths, and they couldn’t compete with the three local manufacturers in Frankfurt. It is better to choose an occasion where they can introduce new cars and technologies carefully." At the press conference on the 18th, the management also arranged one-on-one interview time for the media applying for interviews.

  According to the report, Volvo is also facing some problems. Its profit margin last year was 4%, which is still far from the 10% of the Big Three in Germany. Due to the introduction of new production platforms, it is expected to reduce development costs and increase profits in the future, but the investment in electrification such as electric vehicles has just started. In 2015, the R&D investment was SEK 8.8 billion, an increase of more than 20%. At the same time, we are still exploring cooperation with other companies.

  An increase of 300,000 units in five years is a considerable step. Samuelson said that he would increase all kinds of software and talents in the future, but I’m afraid the front line is too long and there may be logistics problems. It is also very important to keep Volvo unique.

  The company also aims at "no one will be killed or injured by driving or riding Volvo cars by 2020", not only pursuing expansion. From 2017, Volvo will carry out autonomous driving experiments around the head office, also to achieve the goal of "zero casualties".

  According to the report, "safety brand" is one of Volvo’s selling points. Whether Volvo can keep this concept and make it the core of cohesion will be tested. (Compile/Yang Ting)

  [Further reading] Foreign media: Volvo Cars, a subsidiary of Geely, expects a record revenue in 2016.

  Reference News Network reported on February 18,According to foreign media, Volvo Cars predicts that its revenue will reach a record this year and its profit will also increase. The company has achieved strong growth in the European and American markets before, and its operating profit tripled in 2015.

  According to Reuters’s report on February 18th, the company announced that its operating profit for the whole year of 2015 increased from 2.13 billion Swedish kronor (about 1.63 billion RMB) in the previous year to 6.62 billion kronor (5.08 billion RMB).

  Volvo is carrying out an investment project of 75 billion kronor (about 57.5 billion RMB), and plans to launch a series of new models and establish a number of factories, so as to gain a foothold in the high-end market. At present, this market is dominated by German heavyweights such as Daimler’s Mercedes-Benz and BMW.

  Due to the brisk sales of the new XC90 SUV, the revenue increased in 2015, and the impact of the slowdown in China market was overshadowed by the growth of other markets.

  In a statement, Volvo said that all major markets, including China, Europe and the United States, are expected to grow, supporting the company to record record revenue for the third consecutive year in 2016.

  The reference news network reported on January 15.According to foreign media, the American auto industry has set a sales record, which has brought a lot of income to the largest auto manufacturers. They put money into research and development of new models, which will be displayed at the annual North American International Auto Show.

  According to the The New York Times website reported on January 14th, however, even the smallest car companies are booming in the prosperous American market, especially Volvo, a niche luxury brand owned by China and operated by Sweden.

  General Motors, Ford Motor Company and other brands held luxurious press conferences, while Volvo displayed the new car S90, and its flagship sport utility vehicle XC90 also won the Best New Truck Award in 2015.

  According to the report, this shows that even the smallest car companies can succeed when demand soars. Volvo has only a 0.3% share in the US market.

  During the financial crisis in 2010, Ford sold Volvo to China Geely Automobile Group as part of spending cuts. With a new owner, Volvo continues to expand. Geely’s goals include building Volvo’s first factory in North America.

  According to the report of research company Autodata, the total sales volume of the US auto market increased by 6% year-on-year, while the sales volume of Volvo soared by 24% to 70,000 vehicles.

  "We have always attached great importance to the development in the American market," said HakanSamuelsson, CEO and president of Volvo. "So we decided to show S90 publicly for the first time at the Detroit Auto Show and start building a Volvo factory here."

  Other small brands that have benefited from the surge in consumer demand include Subaru, a Japanese car manufacturer, and LandRover, a British SUV manufacturer. The former reported a 13% increase in sales, while the sales of Land Rover brand owned by India’s Tata Motors increased by 37%.

  "These brands and their new owners have made progress and really started to flourish," said MattDegen, senior editor of Kelley BlueBook, a car research company. "Volvo took longer, but we saw that it had a new idea of itself and it really started to run well."

  According to the report, after being owned by Geely, Volvo emphasized the brand’s long-standing reputation in safety and quality, as well as its unique Swedish style.

  Geely can promote the development of Volvo while maintaining these characteristics, and prevent it from disappearing from the market like brands such as Saturn and Mercury.

  Samuelson said that the best-selling Volvo XC90 trucks and S90 cars have brought new impetus to the company’s transformation and return to its core values.

  The S90 four-door coupe released on the north american auto show will go on sale this summer, with a starting price of around 47,000 US dollars (about 310,000 RMB).

  The company’s new goal has brought another development achievement: Volvo invested 500 million US dollars to break ground on the first automobile manufacturing plant in North America. The factory, located in Richville, South Carolina, will produce the next generation S60 sedan and plans to employ 2,000 employees in the next decade.

  It will allow Volvo to operate in three major markets — — Asia, Europe and the United States — — Have a production base.

  "This shift is quite remarkable," said JessicaCaldwell, a senior auto analyst in Edmunds.com. "The combination of new design and function makes this brand more attractive."

  According to the report, automobile manufacturers have introduced technologies that can improve safety, and Volvo has joined the ranks to regain its reputation of paying attention to safety. Volvo, which has the latest technology, has made a clear goal, that is, to realize its products without fatal or serious injury accidents by 2020.

  "Volvo once dominated the security field," Caldwell said. "They gave up this strategy about ten years ago. Today, they are emphasizing security elements again, but they have become more mainstream and less weird. "

  Volvo said that among other features, S90′ s safety technology will be able to detect pedestrians, cyclists and large animals.

  According to the report, the car also provides some new autonomous functions, such as high-speed steering assist function and automatic maintenance of the set speed or distance from the vehicle in front. It will have a gasoline version and a hybrid version.

  Geely handed over the management of Volvo to Swedish executives and provided it with a lot of money needed to develop new cars and technologies.

  Degen said, "We are now seeing the investment results."

  By 2020, Volvo will complete the upgrading of all product lines and occupy a better position to compete with global competitors. Autopilot technology will become the focus. Volvo also plans to develop the first pure electric vehicle and implement the global small car strategy.

  This is very different from the situation in 2009. At that time, Ford didn’t even find a buyer who was willing to buy this depressed car company. "They have survived the lowest point and made great progress," Caldwell said. "At that time, I didn’t know whether the company could continue to go on."

Micheal Ning, vice president of corporate communication in China, an automobile group, shared in the forum that technology companies are actually serving automobile companies.

  Understanding of connection and integration: zero casualties and zero emissions

  When the car enters the era of intelligent transportation, it needs to be people-oriented, that is, safer and more free. For Volvo, it is to achieve zero casualties and zero emissions in the future. "In the era of convergence of Internet and mobile Internet, our society will enter the era of intelligent transportation. In this process, cars will go from industrial chain to use to insurance, and the whole industry will realize zero casualties and zero emissions proposed by Volvo in the future." Micheal Ning said.

  The core factor of Volvo’s promotion of the driverless era

  "When people-oriented values are paid more and more attention, the safety of high-tech products is paid more attention." Micheal Ning mentioned, "Based on respect for life, Volvo will enter the unmanned field faster than other companies, including how to promote this technology faster."

  Do technology companies really have the strength to build cars? Technology companies are actually serving car companies.

  "The media is good, and the public is good. Many people think that there is no advantage for auto companies to engage in mobile internet, but they are actually wrong. Car companies like Volvo have laid out things like this with partners 10 years ago. " Micheal Ning mentioned, "If Internet companies say that they want to transform cars, the car company will play: Thank you, you just work for me."

  Explore the possibility of "connection" between drones and cars in the future.

  Finally, regarding the possibility of connection between cars and drones, Micheal Ning thinks that the imagination of the future transportation industry is huge. Cars and drones can also take off together in the future.

  The following is the full text of the forum speech:

  Cheng Li:Next, please welcome three guests to the stage.

  Mr. Chang Gang, Chief Marketing Officer of Ericsson China, Micheal Ning, Vice President of Communication in China District of Volvo Locomotive Group, and Mr. Xiong Yifang, Co-founder of Yihang.

  I’m Cheng Li, the founder of Cheyun.com, an automotive technology media in China. I’m very grateful to Phoenix.com for inviting me to host this session. Today, I’m very excited. We’ve been talking about the transformation of automobile transportation and the arrival of the intelligent era. The first question, just now, always talked about connection and integration. Can the three of you simply share with us your understanding of connection and integration?

  Chang Gang:Combined with the drone mentioned by Mr. Xiong just now, there is a scene that can show the integration we are talking about. We often encounter traffic accidents on the road, and we need to wait until the traffic police and the insurance company arrive at the scene to move the car and make the traffic smooth. In the future, the endurance of drones, especially in combination with the ubiquitous network capabilities provided by ICT, in such a scenario, perhaps the Traffic Management Bureau will send a drone, and the insurance company can also go to the scene to collect evidence for drones. Recognition can integrate ICT capabilities, drone capabilities and background support management capabilities, which will greatly improve traffic safety and efficiency.

  Xiong Yifang:I think connection and convergence are very new words for the UAV industry, because the industry is currently in a very early stage. It is a wild black belt era. The so-called connection and integration should be on-line 24 hours a day, and not only the owner of the drone is monitored, but also it should be regulated from the perspective of security and privacy.

  In the future, it will be a very important foundation for unmanned aerial vehicles to be online 24 hours. On this basis, an aerial Internet will be established between people and planes, between planes and between people.

  Micheal Ning:In fact, we have entered a new era, the era of the integration of Internet and mobile Internet. This era has entered an era of intelligent transportation, which can truly be people-oriented, and transportation will be safer and more free in the future. In this process, from the industrial chain to the use of automobiles to the future insurance, the whole industry will realize zero casualties and zero emissions proposed by Volvo in the future.

  Cheng Li:Why does Volvo enter the unmanned field faster than other companies, including how to promote this technology faster?

  Micheal Ning:Volvo’s thinking about autonomous driving is based on safety considerations and respect for life. Autonomous driving is safer, and Volvo spares no effort to promote the development line of autonomous driving.

  Secondly, Sweden is an active and innovative country, which invented human beings and produced companies like Bluetooth and Ericsson in the field of science and technology. In the China market, we think that the China market has entered the era of automotive mobile Internet very early, and its acceptance is very high. Therefore, our senior vice president of R&D will also come to China next, and we invited people from mobile Internet companies to tell him about the innovative thinking and technological innovation of the Internet in Britain. Therefore, such elements have led Volvo to take the lead in the fields of autonomous driving and smart interconnection.

  Cheng Li:Intelligent driving, including driverless driving, is more of a combination with new technologies and new Internet technologies. This aspect is not what the car factory is good at. How do you understand Volvo’s autonomous driving? What are its advantages? And what are the challenges?

  Micheal Ning:Many people think that there is no advantage for car companies to engage in mobile internet, but they are wrong. Car companies like Volvo have laid out things like this with partners 10 years ago.

  Second, the real future car is still a car, definitely not a mobile phone. So I’d like to challenge the technology companies. Do you really have the ability to build cars? Or just understand a part of the car? Therefore, there was a saying in the past that Internet companies said that they would transform their cars, and the car companies played by thanking you, and you just worked for me.

  Cheng Li:Is it more reliable for a technology company like Google to do smart cars, or is it more reliable for the traditional Volvo company?

  Xiong Yifang:Personally, I believe more in traditional car companies. Because any product should know its core when it is commercialized, if it is an internet car, its core is first of all the means of transportation, which is your driving experience and safety. This cannot be sacrificed. But the internet experience will make you happy, and it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t. Therefore, this is very similar to the aircraft in the air itself, because for example, when it comes to drones today, many professional manufacturers say that they want to make drones, and tomorrow they say that Apple will do it and the day after tomorrow they say that Xiaomi will do it. For us, we dare to say that we are not afraid at all. Why? Because the drone always needs a very, very safe environment for flying and needs to block the dangers in the air, it can’t be wrong at all. It can’t be as big as a mobile phone. It doesn’t matter if it crashes. You can get a new one. However, the BUG tolerance rate of UAV is zero, and any small error will make the loss irreversible, so the plane may fly away or blow up. If this kind of aircraft is manned, the safety will be greatly reduced if it is done by a technology company and a company with no production experience.

  What is the best fit for Google and Apple? A company like Google is best suited to make an ecosystem for us. Just like Android, it can be made into a system suitable for many surface applications, which is the most reasonable.

  Micheal Ning:A German who worked as an Internet company once said that I should pay tribute to the industrial people and respect. What I mean is the combination of reality and emptiness, O2O, online, offline and entity.

  Xiong Yifang:We have WeChat and a great company like Alibaba, but these are limited to the Chinese community. The target users of anything produced by any real economy are all mankind. Because human limbs are the same. A good product is a concept that can truly create an international brand, which is also the case in the international automobile industry for so many years. There are many good automobile brands in Japan, and South Korea has followed suit. China has made great progress in the past ten years. If we continue to look at the consumer electronics industry, well-known Japanese brands such as Panasonic in the 1970s, and now well-known consumer electronics brands such as Xiaomi in China have just stepped out of the Asian gate and entered the world, which is a very good thing for exporting brand image.

  Cheng Li:Can you briefly introduce the value Ericsson has created in this industry in terms of automobile automation and autonomous driving in the future?

  Chang Gang:I think ICT is an enabling tool, and I think ICT is a tool. Like today’s LINK+ or internet plus, it can be closely integrated with other industries. When it comes to the car scene, I think I agree with the two guests just now. The carrier of the car still takes safety as the most basic core element, plus the extension of other functions. At present, the physical and virtual experiences, regardless of VR or AR, have not been fully opened. It can be integrated with other industries. Specific to the environment of the car, the carrier safety of the car is the most basic core element, plus the extension of other functions. At present, when we talk about the entity and the experience that needs to be mentioned, it is through VR or AR, and there is no way to completely get through these two. Therefore, you still have to get into the car in a physical way, whether it is people or things, the traditional car companies in the future will play a leading role.

  Ericsson is a car networking enterprise or a drone enterprise, which can improve the information convergence and software as a whole. We won’t say that we should completely cut into a field and make an entity, because it is the survival value of the ecological chain itself, and we need to combine our strengths with the advantages of other manufacturers.

  Cheng Li:Communication operators such as Ericsson, including system operators, have not done well enough in entering China for localization. Does Ericsson have any relevant plans in this regard?

  Chang Gang:As far as Ericsson is concerned, our performance in all foreign companies in China is among the best. Ericsson regards China as an R&D innovation center, a supply chain center including the support of the Internet of Vehicles, and our cooperation with Volvo. Our Guangzhou R&D center has a team of hundreds of people to support the support of the Internet cloud in China. We have a strong commitment to the China market and have been strengthening our localization capabilities.

  Let’s take a look at unmanned driving. China company is making drones and multinational companies. What advantages do you think compared with American companies, and what are the problems?

  Xiong Yifang:Regardless of the industry, China is a very lucky market. Let’s go to see the communication industry. In fact, its development comes from western countries, and we need to catch up in China. However, although UAVs can be traced back to the World War II in 1920, it is only because of the rise of smart phones and the reduction of many smart sensors that the cost of UAVs can be controlled within 10,000 yuan, and a civil UAV industry with a certain volume was born.

  China’s position in this area is very advantageous. We know that DJI, the predecessor of the UAV industry and the largest UAV company in the world, worked for about eight years, and was on the verge of bankruptcy, because China made a very big advantage in the past and soon had its own innovative research and development, and then made this industry. Yihang was also a very young company established in April 2014. We rely on a large number of market advantages, and our R&D personnel are also the first.

  Compared with our American counterparts, we need to run in small steps. For a start-up, we can get a very good advantage from raw materials in China, and we can find all the supply chains of UAVs from upstream to downstream in Guangdong. In terms of software, in the past eight years, China has included a large number of industry software engineers, who will also shift from the software industry to the combination of software and hardware. When we make a combination of software and hardware, the cost can be greatly improved. At this time, as a China company, the biggest disadvantage is the brand. In the past, we said that we would not be a brand. We used to be a drone industry. Ten years ago, drones were called airplane models. There were hundreds of factories in Guangdong that made drones and sold them abroad. This is the biggest disadvantage.

  We mentioned a word called brand, starting with brand ability. Yihang took the lead in developing the technology of automatic follow-up of drones in July last year. Soon Wal-Mart found us and said that this technology was excellent. I ordered 20,000 units, but the brand was not Yihang, but it was still OEM. We refused. Because we are the only ones who have this technology, it will take three to six months for others to develop it. They said that we should take a step back, and we will post the brand of Yihang and the United States. Finally, we took out the report on Yihang by Wall Street. We said that we are not ordinary China companies, but we are innovative companies that Wall Street has paid attention to. Let’s forget it here. We might as well be an agent. Even in this way, we refused the cooperation of the biggest company.

  Cheng Li:Now we know that Yihang products are mainly sold to European and American countries.

  short for the Ningxia Hui Autonomous RegionShu Yong:I’m not familiar with this piece. It’s novel and my mind is wide open. I want to ask Xiong Yifang. The market in China is also big enough, so it’s extremely difficult for consumers to satisfy this. Of course, the cooperation with cars is also perfect. Driving a car, or autonomous driving in the future, can also cooperate with drones. This is a personal imagination. I think this industry is very interesting. At least there is a big market for many special needs, such as disaster relief. People’s lives in China are becoming more and more important, and these high-tech products will definitely have its value.

  Cheng Li:In fact, at the end of last year, the company made a video of the future imagination, and the protagonist was the drone. We called it the next generation drone. Why is it called the next generation? Because many concepts of drones are still limited by some technologies, there are still great restrictions on weight bearing. We made a scene. Now our children may be far away from the older generation. In the future, if we have strong technical ability, we may not have to go to grandma’s house. The drone can directly transfer the scene of the house in grandma’s city to the door of your house to achieve simple communication. This will take some time to achieve.

  But on the other hand, it can also be reflected that the development of drones has just begun. There is still a lot of room for imagination in its application scenarios. Especially in the future, if with the development of the network, the current 4G network or 5G network is not for optimizing support, but mainly for covering cities, so many antennas are underground. If it is necessary to support the remote control of this ubiquitous UAV in the future, maybe our network can be optimized, so that UAVs flying hundreds of meters or even higher in the air can also get full network support. The interconnection scene is no longer limited, so the imagination space is still very large.

  Cheng Li:For example, drones can also be combined with cars or mobile internet. What do you think of this connection and integration in the future, including the possibility of connecting drones with future cars?

  Xiong Yifang:We all talk about the Internet of Things now. The Internet of Things means that every entity can be connected, including cups and cushions. I think the responsibility of UAV in the whole future process is the aerial Internet terminal, and we are unable to change any existing ways. UAV hopes to open up a new field, whether it is doing power inspection, disaster relief, pesticide spraying and forest fire tour in the air, in fact, it is just a carrier. It just says that a smart robot can help us do all kinds of things in the air, and it can be better interconnected with the ground and the air by carrying different sensors. This is why many investors are so concerned about drones today, because it can really change the status quo of many industries and improve production and efficiency.

  Micheal Ning:Although the car and the drone are two products, it is certain that the application scene can be integrated with each other.

  Second, cars and drones can also take off together in the future.

  Chang Gang:If the drone is large enough to make a human journey through the drone, it can be combined with the car and can be used for remote professional driving. People can sit on it and connect from point A to point B. There is still a lot of room for imagination in this area.

  Cheng Li:Thank you very much for your wonderful sharing. The discussion of time relationship is over.

  There is a huge space for traffic imagination in the future. The Internet has provided all industries with such wings of imagination. It depends on how we innovate and how we can take this step. We need to witness the space of traffic imagination in the future and go to the farewell party together. Thanks again to the three guests and the audience.

What is the new car of Haval’s new energy strategy? Evaluation of Xiaolong and Xiaolong MAX Double Car Test Drive

The continuous investment of China brand in the field of plug-in hybrid powertrain has been transformed into many plug-in hybrid vehicles with monthly sales exceeding 10,000 in less than two years. Great Wall Motor has a wide layout in the new energy industry chain, and it has chosen a more prudent strategy at the time of launching compact plug-in hybrid vehicles.

Xiaolong and Xiaolong MAX are two plug-in hybrid compact SUVs launched by Harvard brand. The official named Xiaolong and Xiaolong MAX as "big items" and arranged them for test drive together, which reflected Harvard’s more comprehensive consideration in product planning and confidence in the product strength of the two "Dragon" new cars.

Among them, the pricing and positioning of Xiaolong equipped with DHT hybrid technology is more close to the people; Xiaolong MAX has a larger body size, and it also adds a new Hi4 hybrid architecture. The two cars are obviously different in size, shape and configuration. The similarity is that they both have good details and complete presentation of design ingenuity.

Xiaolong

The body length of 4600mm is more friendly in urban vehicles. A more reasonable body size also helps to reduce energy consumption.

Xiaolong’s design has a distinct recognition, which has no inheritance relationship with Harvard’s product line at present. The closed middle net in the upper part gives people the image meaning of "electrification". The heat dissipation requirement of the vehicle is completed through the hollow air intake grille behind the license plate frame.

Full of spirit, the double main waistlines and the sinking treatment of the roof create just the right sporty atmosphere, and the 2710mm wheelbase also creates a more stretched visual proportion relationship.

The shape of 18-inch rim is not a "new energy source", but more sharp in shape. The 225/60R18 GitiComfort F50 tire has a quiet and comfortable orientation, and the 60-flat ratio provides better support for shock absorption performance and durability of rotten roads.

The high-position brake light group composed of two hexagons has a unique shape. The spoiler integrated with the high-position brake light is composed of several appearance parts, and the whole spoiler continuously extends above the taillights.

The charging port is located on the right rear fender. It can provide 33kW DC fast charging. Considering Xiaolong’s battery capacity of 19.27kWh, this peak charging power can be said to be very high. According to official data, 30%-80% SOC takes only 26 minutes at the earliest. 3.3kW AC external discharge can also support the outdoor power-taking scene.

The soft material covering range of Xiaolong instrument panel covers the upper part of the instrument panel and the lateral area of the air outlet of the air conditioner, and it is generally plain. Fortunately, the textured surface technology of the plastic surface of the central control island platform, the dark chrome decoration of the interior and the personalized modeling of the air outlet balance the visual experience of the interior.

Both sides of the 7-inch instrument panel have separate electricity and oil quantity indicators, and the 12.3-inch central control panel, like the instrument panel, has a default black background. Therefore, there is no feeling that the screen size is too small in daily use.

The touch air conditioner buttons integrated under the central control panel have limited clarity in direct sunlight, and the high-frequency function of the air conditioner can be controlled by voice, which also reduces the inconvenience of touch control.

Xiaolong’s steering wheel has a large size and a thin ring, which takes care of the holding needs of different people. At the same time, the leather covering on the elbow of the door panel and the 64-color adjustable atmosphere lamp officially called "Star Laser Flowing Water Atmosphere Lamp" have obviously improved the sensory experience of the interior.

The design of the shield brings more available space for the central control island station, and 15W wireless charging is standard on one side. The storage space below also effectively improves the utilization rate of the interior space.

In the car, the author with a standard height of 175cm can get plenty of space in the front seat and back seat. The test drive has seat ventilation and heating, which is a bonus configuration in the same level.

The standard volume of the trunk is 420L, and the standard volume after putting down the rear seat is 1175L. Xiaolong’s design ingenuity is not limited to the appearance. After the rear headrest is laid down in the rear row, it can be turned over as a pillow. Considering the length of 4600mm, the space utilization rate is very high.

The storage space under the partition of the trunk still has enough space for other articles after receiving the external discharge equipment.

Xiaolong is equipped with 4G15H hybrid engine and combined with two-speed hybrid DHT power, which can achieve the maximum comprehensive power of 185kW and torque of 375n m.. The data level can be compared with the 2.0L gasoline turbocharged engine. Thanks to the blessing of the 19.27kWh battery pack, Xiaolong still runs in pure electricity most of the time.

Xiaolong, a former Madison rear multi-link independent suspension, has a comfortable suspension adjustment after sitting on the peak power of 185kW of the two-speed DHT system, so it will be more in tune with the overall soothing driving rhythm. The start and stop of the engine need to be consciously perceived. When high power is requested, DHT hybrid improves energy efficiency on the premise of smooth acceleration.

After many days and rounds of long-distance test drive by drivers with different driving habits, considering the frequent acceleration and braking during highway and shooting, although the energy consumption level can’t reach the official fuel consumption of 5.3L/100KM, it is still in the fuel consumption range of less than 6L/100KM, and the efficiency of DHT hybrid system is worthy of recognition.

With the positioning of compact new energy SUV, compared with Xiaolong MAX, Xiaolong has fully differentiated the power, space, configuration and texture, which makes the author have reason to believe that it will have attractive pricing. On the premise that the core experience is easy to use and the comfort function is enough, the two-speed DHT plug-in hybrid will be put in place. In particular, if a version with lower battery capacity is introduced later, it can not only maintain the fuel economy advantage of DHT hybrid, but also let more people consider experiencing the fun of Xiaolong with a lower threshold.

Xiaolong MAX

The difference between Xiaolong MAX and Xiaolong is not just the "MAX" of size. Power, space and configuration are different. They are two completely different cars. Xiaolong MAX has a length, width and height of 4758*1895*1725mm and a wheelbase of 2800mm. It can be said that it has established an "innate advantage" in size, which is also directly reflected in the interior space.

The appearance of Xiaolong MAX is still in contact with Harvard’s previous models, and the details depict the embrace of new energy. The net integrated with the front bumper, sharp light group. As well as the detailed description of the inside of the lamp group, all provide a certain sense of value.

The 235/55R19 wheel can be called "Bigfoot" at this level. In addition to higher passing performance and thicker sidewall on unpaved roads, it also significantly improves the comfort of daily driving.

Xiaolong MAX didn’t use penetrating taillights, but the light band inside the independent light group was treated with "flash drilling", and the lighting effect was significantly different from that of ordinary LED light groups.

The dark part of Xiaolong MAX instrument panel is made of soft material, and the white part is covered with leather. The design sense and materials used in the interior are beyond the author’s expectation of this level of products.

The physical buttons with high frequency function of air conditioner are reserved on the central control island platform, which takes care of users’ usage habits. However, there is no key position for the adjustment of driving mode.

Xiaolong MAX has optimized NVH, including using double-layer sound insulation glass in the front row, increasing the coverage area of sound-absorbing materials in key parts such as side walls and door panels, and using a large number of sound-absorbing materials in the body. The actual effect is also good. When Xiaolong MAX is driving in the city with pure electricity, the quietness inside the car has a leapfrog performance.

The wireless charging of 50W mobile phone is located on the left side of the central control island, and there is an independent cooling fan to ensure the normal charging of the mobile phone. If the right wireless charging option can be provided for car owners, even if the power is only 15W, I believe it will be very popular, and it will also be more conducive to the co-driver’s "putting down the phone".

The Coffee OS system based on Snapdragon 8155 can not only support three 12.3-inch screens, but also project navigation and driving assistance information on the HUD. The screen is still readable in direct sunlight.

The interior texture and atmosphere are the strengths of Xiaolong MAX, and so is the space. Adjust the sitting posture in the front row according to the author’s height of 175, and the leg space in the back row is ample. Moreover, the length of the front and rear seat cushions is at least 500mm, which ensures the supporting effect on the legs. The angle of the rear backrest supports two-step adjustment of 27 and 32, which increases the comfort configuration and is also helpful to enhance the sense of grade.

The Haval Xiaolong MAX trunk is 551L in the standard state, and the space can reach 1377L after the backrest of the rear independent seat is folded flat.

The L2+ driver assistance function of the Haval Xiaolong MAX top model is realized by 22 intelligent sensors. Because of the existence of the side-looking camera, the perception of the system is also richer. During the test drive, the author tried ACC full-speed adaptive cruise, changing lanes and other functions. This system can make driving easier and safer when dealing with national highway and expressway scenes, and reduce the fatigue degree when driving for a long time.

The new Hi4 hybrid architecture has 3 engines and 9 modes of intelligent dynamic switching, but the driving modes that users can actually choose are standard, economy, sports, snow and four-wheel drive. The power mode includes three modes: pure electricity, pure electricity priority and intelligent hybrid. Simplify the choice of users, in fact, the system has more underlying operating logic to support better performance of power and energy consumption.

The Hi4 system equipped with Xiaolong MAX has a comprehensive power of 205kW and a comprehensive torque of 585 N m.. 0-100km/h 6.8s can be completed. The blessing of high-power electric drive makes the power respond quickly, and it is calm when dealing with the power request of national highway and high-speed overtaking. The suspension emphasizes comfortable adjustment and the brake pedal setting that pays more attention to the linear release of braking force, which makes Xiaolong MAX more suitable for driving with the mentality of driving an SUV. We should know that Hi4 system not only has the advantages of power output, but also has the advantages of energy efficiency in daily life.

At the same time, due to the addition of pure electric four-wheel drive, parallel four-wheel drive and dual-shaft energy recovery mode, abundant power is not at the expense of energy consumption. Xiaolong MAX has it, but there are not many plug-in hybrid vehicles with single pedal mode. The energy recovery setting of Xiaolong MAX is easy to adapt in all intensities and single pedal mode, and it is not difficult to achieve uniform and linear acceleration braking. With a little adaptation, passengers can ride comfortably without carsickness. In addition, the Hi4 system can achieve 0.3g energy recovery at 110Km/h, with wider coverage of recovery conditions and better energy consumption performance. After the test drive, according to the data of official fuel consumption of 5.5L/100km, it is inferred that such fuel consumption is also possible in daily use. According to official data, 30%-80% SOC DC fast charging takes at least 26 minutes, which also provides convenience for daily recharge.

"Four-wheel drive experience, two-wheel drive price, four-wheel drive performance and two-wheel drive energy consumption" is the concept mentioned when the official introduced Xiaolong MAX. Xiaolong MAX does not have a two-wheel drive model. The two-wheel drive mentioned here, I guess it should be the best-selling plug-in hybrid two-wheel drive SUV of the same level. With the comprehensive product strength of Xiaolong MAX and the advantages of driving assistance and intelligent cockpit, if the "two-drive price" can be realized, Xiaolong MAX may greatly enhance Haval’s presence in the new energy market.
