Chapter 1210 Technological Breakthroughs (Request Tickets)

“Lee, do you think we can mass produce a large number of engines? Ha-ha-ha. Okay, great! ”

Ice City Machine Manufacturing Group has always attached great importance to engine research, and they have always enjoyed working with Ice Plant. As companies become more profitable, more and more expensive to invest in R&D, and technology advances faster and faster.

A few years ago, Ice City Machine Manufacturing Group was able to produce large volumes of engines, but the cost was nearly double that of other large car companies. That means they're only competitive in Huaxia, and going abroad is nothing.

Now Songjiang cars are known abroad in two models, the Oriental Deer and the Pokémon. As for the hot Guo Olympics sold domestically, except in Eastern Europe, the European and American sales were poor.

Many Europeans and Americans like large volumes of cars, especially SUVs, and they demand high power. Initially, the Crazy Fields 4500 was a low-cost, high-volume engine that made history, and it allowed them to create a lot of names in high-volume SUVs. And now, Crazy Field has made another breakthrough by studying low-cost 4700CC displacement engines.

Not to say that other large car companies do not have larger engines, Volkswagen, Ford, etc. are said to have 4800 emissions of engine technology, and are even studying 6000 emissions engines, but only on luxury sedans and sports cars, not on medium- and low-end vehicles, like Toyota.

One is that technology is not fully mature enough and mass production can result in excessive costs and thus loss of competitiveness. Madfield did a great job at this point, cost control was excellent, selling prices weren't too high, and firmly dominated the market for large volumes of SUVs.

Also thanks to the 4500 model, Madfield still retained some visibility in Huaxia and was not completely suppressed by Songjiang and the public.

However, FAW told Crazy Tian that you have 4700 anyway if you want Crazy Tian to take out this model for joint venture. But Madfield refused, selling it himself was clearly more profitable, and it was also a technical blockade.

If FAW masters the production and manufacturing technology of this engine, Crazy Field will always have to be a joint venture. If it's a joint venture, obviously Huaxia's car companies are cheaper, and Crazy Field certainly doesn't want to.

If it wasn't for opening up the market, they wouldn't be willing to joint venture with Huaxia Motors. All of this has changed because of the Songjiang car.

Their goal now is to continue to promote the brand so that in the future, they can gradually erode Huaxia's car business and thus completely occupy the market. In this way, there is no doubt that Crazy Field will become the world's first car company.

……

Ice City Machinery, a new type of engine, is actually a V-shaped engine that mimics the masses, and inspired by aircraft engines.

As early as the 1920s, the world was struck by the use of W12 engines to assemble a 24L vehicle. That's right, 24L, not 2.4L.

Ice Plant naturally also has W-engine technology, but it has never been considered in the direction of cars, and they are still working on the V-engines.

V6 succeeded, but V8 was difficult and could be built, but the cost was much higher than the public.

So Feng Yu prompted them, two V6s side by side, to become a W12 engine?

This reminds engineers from the Ice Plant that they immediately remembered their W12 engine, which is already a decommissioned aircraft engine.

But it would be great to update some of the technology and apply it to your car.

The first thing you need to do is miniaturize this engine, reduce its displacement, and keep it under 6L. Large volumes do have powerful power, but too much oil can be expensive if they are too large.

Even they thought, since they have a V4 engine, they could change it to a W8 engine, which is certainly smaller than a V8.

If the engine is too big to mount a four-wheel drive on the car, it can only be used as a rear drive, and if the engine is smaller, these problems can be solved.

Four-wheel-drive cars can be more maneuverable and out-of-town. This high-powered engine is for the new Oriental Deer themselves.

And the success of this research is the W8 engine, with a 4.0L displacement, which is Huaxia's first autonomous R&D successful 4L + displacement engine.

“Is this engine stable? Can you continue to increase power?” Feng Yu asked with joy.

With this engine, the off-road performance of the Oriental Deer will be greatly enhanced, defeating Madfield with brand and price advantages is absolutely fine.

It also produces a middle-end SUV that pushes it to the European and American markets. Over there, a lot of people still love a lot of SUVs. Even domestically, a lot of people like it.

“No problem, we can already make W10 and W12 engines in the lab, but we don't think the W10 is necessary, because the cylinder can increase to a single cylinder 600 displacement, so the W8 can theoretically achieve a 4.8L displacement and a massive increase in power. ”

“Very good, so how much difference do we have with advanced engines overseas?” Feng Yu asked seriously.

“For engines that are applied to models like regular sedans and SUVs, the gap is about a decade away. But if we count sports cars and lab technology, we're 30 years away. The Ferrari V8 is said to have 8L displacement. ”

The single-cylinder 1L displacement can also be mounted on a small sports car, showing how powerful its technology is. If Ice City Machinery was to build an 8L V8, I'm afraid it was twice the size of Ferrari's head, how would it fit in the car?

However, this advanced, high-volume engine has a narrow application and is typically used on sports cars. Road conditions in Huaxia limit the development of sports cars. When Songjiang launched the sports car, it could only be sold as normal. Foreign imported sports cars, due to higher taxes, do not sell very well.

However, Demons have quite a talented person, like Feng Yu's road back then, importing second-hand foreign sports cars, the price will be much lower. Then it was repaired, then sold, said to have made a lot of money.

However, it doesn't matter. Although the car is profitable, the higher sales models are ordinary sedans and SUVs. The car can't be abandoned, it's just a temporary trade-off.

Songjiang's SUV has the biggest reputation abroad, of course it needs to be maintained. As for the sports car, it hasn't been sold abroad yet.

“As a result, the gap between our regular home cars and our SUVs is getting smaller and smaller from large foreign car companies. Great, we're launching a massive SUV right now, along with our new high-end sedan. With the sports car, a new one is also available. There are other models to consider, and those foreign brands that have been active in the last few years must be repressed again! ”
