In the opinion of "Car Circle": Why is the reputation of Xingtu Lanyue so good? That is the excellent product quality.

A car owner had an accident while driving across the desert. The vehicle rolled over more than seven times in a row, and the vehicle was not damaged much, and the people in the car were also unscathed. Out of great trust in the safety of Xingtu Lunar Landing, the owner soon bought a new Lunar Landing car.

Excellent product strength has created the high quality of the Xingtu brand, and also made everyone have a soft spot for Xingtu Lanyue. With the launch of the 2025 Xingtu Lanyue, the highlights of safety, comfort and intelligence have been blessed to consolidate the competitiveness of its products. I believe this car will definitely sell well in the end point market.

(Extreme krypton 009 integrated die-cast rear-end aluminum body debuted at the 2023 European Body Annual Conference)

The strongest back-end body technology in the automotive industry, unveiled at the global body "Oscar"

EuroCarBody (ECB) is a top summit in the international body field organized by Automotive Circle International. It has a history of 30 years and has now developed into a platform for the world’s latest body technology display and exchange. As a high-standard international technology platform, EuroCarBody not only gathers the world’s latest high-end automotive technologies, but also attracts engineering experts from all over the world to participate in tasting and technical exchanges. Every year, more than 2,500 participants discuss, exchange and learn about the innovation and sustainable development of automotive engineering technology, which strongly promotes the innovation and progress of the automotive industry.

(Site map of the European Automobile Conference)

As a representative of Chinese luxury new energy brands, JK’s participation in the 2023 European Car Body Conference fully confirmed the absolute strength of Chinese cars to enter the world stage. JK 009’s large-scale integrated die-casting aluminum body became the only Chinese luxury pure electric MPV rear-end aluminum body on display at the conference by virtue of its innovative technology to subvert traditional MPVs. The audience showed great interest and conducted in-depth research and discussion on it.

Extreme Krypton 009 engineers shared the body structure and technical logic on the spot, deconstructing the innovative breakthrough of the integrated die-casting aluminum body from multiple dimensions. The integrated die-casting rear-end aluminum body displayed by Extreme Krypton 009 is by far the largest mass production in the automotive industry in the world, and has achieved full-stack self-research in terms of technology and materials. At the same time, the integrated die-casting aluminum body surpasses the current mainstream die-casting technology in terms of equipment, materials and structural design. Experts and professionals at the meeting responded strongly to this. Extreme Krypton 009 body technology is tantamount to a "technological revolution" in the automotive industry, which refreshes the international people’s understanding of China’s automotive body technology.

"The most versatile" body technology, redefining MPV safety standards

The "China Top Ten Body Selection" is highly professional and authoritative in the industry. The jury team is composed of senior experts in different fields, evaluating dimensions covering materials, processes, structures, designs, etc., and conducting a comprehensive review of safety, comfort and other indicators that consumers are concerned about. Extreme Krypton 009 uses a large number of 2000MPa high-strength rigid materials to ensure sufficient body strength and stiffness from the selection of materials. At the same time, through the optimization of the body structure and process, the top pressure when the vehicle is turned over is decomposed to protect the safety of the occupants. Among them, the TWB thermoforming soft and hard laser welding process welds materials of different strengths and the same thickness together in the A-pillar and B-pillar areas to meet the vehicle’s needs for different deformations of the same part; while the FDS flow drill screw technology forms a high connection strength with the high rotation speed and axial pressure generated by special equipment, making the connectors tighter and more stable, achieving the effect of smaller body deformation and better sealing. Extreme krypton 009’s excellence in body technology has reached a luxury that far exceeds the industry standard, and has been highly recognized by the jury.

With the support of top-level body technology and comprehensive R & D system, JK spent 1.30 billion forging the world’s largest 7200-ton giant die-casting machine in the automotive industry, thus creating an integrated die-casting rear-end aluminum body, 1.4m long and 1.6m wide, reducing nearly 800 welding points, reducing the amount of deformation by 16% when encountering impact, and improving the bending stiffness by 11%. Through the innovative four-stage collision partition strategy, a two-stage detachable buffer structure is set, which not only brings safer rear-end protection, but also helps users better reduce the maintenance cost after the collision.

As the world’s first native luxury pure electric MPV, Krypton 009 has created a 720 ° all-round "no dead angle" safety protection design based on the actual use of the user’s car. In addition to the integrated die-cast aluminum body at the rear end, it has also made great efforts at the top and bottom. The top of the body of Krypton 009 is protected by 128kN top pressure, and the roof can bear up to 13 tons. It can efficiently absorb and disperse collision energy from different directions, prevent cabin deformation, and protect the safety of occupants. It can be called the "top ceiling". The bottom is the first "ten grids" battery anti-collision structure, 133mm aluminum side anti-collision beam, with "ten grids" multi-layer energy absorption structure, which brings layers of collision buffer to the battery when it is hit, builds a great wall of battery safety, and realizes the industry’s highest battery safety requirements of "no heat spread and no fire". So far, all models of Extreme Krypton have been delivered for more than 170,000 units, and still maintain the industry’s only safety record of "zero battery fire", which is the best proof of the safety of Extreme Krypton batteries.

In addition, the Krypton 009 also achieved an amazing 36,450 N · m/deg torsional stiffness, casting a veritable "steel and iron bone", which reached more than 3 times that of the traditional luxury MPV. It not only improved the passive safety protection of the vehicle, but also improved the handling and NVH performance.

Within a month, it won both domestic and international recognition. The revolutionary body technology of "China Player" Krypton 009 not only conveys the forward-looking safety concept of China’s pure electric luxury MPV, but also a key technical endorsement for domestic brands to go global. In the future, Krypton will also increase automobile technology innovation, continuously promote the development and progress of the national automobile industry, and enhance the influence of Chinese automobiles on the international stage.

Dongfeng Group is running out of patience? Lantu Auto is in turmoil again

  After less than a year, Lantu Automobile once again ushered in a round of senior management changes.

  On May 15, the power plant reporter received confirmation from the official that Yu Fei, the general manager of sales of Lantu Automobile, and Liu Zhanshu, the deputy general manager of sales, had both left around May Day. According to the power plant’s understanding, this is another management change within Lantu Automobile after the large-scale organizational structure adjustment of Dongfeng last July. In addition to the two senior executives of the marketing department, this personnel adjustment also involves a number of middle managers of the marketing department.

  According to public information, Liu and Yu joined Lantu in June and July last year respectively. Before that, they had both worked in the automotive industry for many years. Yu Fei is a veteran of the Great Wall department and served as the general manager of marketing of the Ola brand under the Great Wall, while Liu Zhanshu is the old partner of Lantu CEO Lu Fang. He has served many well-known brands such as FAW-Volkswagen Audi, SAIC-GM Buick, and Extreme Krypton Automobile.

  As for the reason for leaving, Liu Zhanshu told the power plant that his family is in Shanghai, and it is difficult to take care of his family in Wuhan for a long time. In his internal letter when he left in early April, he also said that "after drifting outside for more than two years, it is time to return." Regarding his experience during his tenure, he said in the letter that "Landmap is the shortest working time and the largest workload in my career, and of course the most rewarding experience."

  According to Liu Zhanshu, there are indeed many problems within Landmap, and there is still a lot of basic work that needs to be improved, but there are opportunities in technology, products and other aspects. In this regard, a middle-level person who left the company told the power plant that the biggest problem of Landmap is that the group controls too strictly. "What choices are made internally are given by parents, and they are very strong opinions." He believes that Liu Zhanshu does not fit well with this working atmosphere.

  As a high-end electric brand under Dongfeng, Lantu is similar to Zhiji under SAIC and Extreme Krypton under Geely. Lantu is alsoUnder the impact of the electric vehicle wave, the product is not only the pioneer of the latter’s electric vehicle transformation, but also carries the latter’s dream of high-end impact. Since its independent operation in June 2021, Lantu Automobile has released a total of three products, but the market sales have always been unsatisfactory.

  The data shows that the first model of Lantu, Lantu FREE, was delivered in August 2021. The cumulative sales volume in 2021 was only 6791 units. The second model, Lantu Dreamer, was delivered in July 2022. The cumulative sales volume of the two vehicles in 2022 was only 19,400 units, only 62% of the annual sales target. This year, the sales target set by Lantu is 40,000 – 60,000 units. As of April, Lantu actually completed only 9021 units.

  Among them, in March this year, Dongfeng Group and the Hubei government launched the "strongest car purchase season in history" subsidy activity, covering Dongfeng Citroen, Dongfeng Peugeot, Dongfeng Nissan, Dongfeng Honda, Dongfeng Fengshen and other brands. The maximum comprehensive subsidy is as high as 90,000 yuan, while the starting price of Lantu Dreamer is directly reduced by 40,000 yuan to 329,900 yuan. Even so, the sales volume of Lantu Automobile in the month is only 3027 vehicles.

  In July last year, Dongfeng Group made its first personnel adjustment to Lantu, involving a total of six executives. Among them, Lu Fang, CEO of Lantu Automobile, no longer served as CTO, and was replaced by Wang Junjun, an old man in the Dongfeng department. In addition, the leadership team of Dongfeng Department, Qin Jie, Liu Mingjiao, Gong Xuesong, and Shao Mingfeng, also took up positions in Lantu. Yu and Liu, who left this time, also joined during this period.

  However, as the paratroopers represented by Yu and Liu left one after another, the marketing authority of Lantu was also handed back to Shao Mingfeng, an executive of the Dongfeng Department. So far, the senior management team of Lantu, except for Lu Fang, is basically the leadership team of the Dongfeng Department. In this regard, the above-mentioned mid-level people who left told the power plant that now, Lu Fang’s internal real power is also limited, but if "President Lu leaves, it will really be a state-owned enterprise".

  Judging from the signals revealed by Lu Fang, the operating pressure exerted by Dongfeng Group is not small. At the Shanghai Auto Show in April, Lu Zai said in an interview with the power plant and other media that each company’s birth environment is different, and how to use existing resource endowments to complete market competition is a problem that each company needs to think about. Although it is also learning from the experience of its peers internally, the difficulty of Landmap is to solve the problem within a certain framework.

  A typical example is the funding problem. The above-mentioned mid-level people pointed out that the internal knows that there is a problem, but to solve the problem will cost money. According to public information, after two years of independent operation, Lantu completed a round of external financing in November last year, with a financing amount of 4.55 billion yuan. Among them, Dongfeng Motor invested 900 million yuan. After the investment, the shareholding ratio is still as high as 78.88%, and it is still the absolute controlling shareholder.

  According to NIO founder Li Bin, the capital threshold for car building has been pulled to 40 billion. For Landmap, external financing of only 3.65 billion yuan will not last long, and it needs to be backed by Dongfeng Group’s continuous blood transfusion, which has many restrictions on the attributes of state-owned enterprises. The above-mentioned mid-level person pointed out that maintaining the status quo may be the best choice. "If you really want to make a big change, there may be certain risks to Landmap."

  In addition to the loss of independent operating space, the above-mentioned mid-level people pointed out that another problem of Landmap is that Dongfeng Department is too eager to achieve success. In this regard, a number of users who are certified as Landmap employees broke the news on social media that not only do they frequently change management, but also frequently change the employee appraisal system. The appraisal system implemented is often opaque, and there was even a problem of temporarily changing the performance coefficient around November last year.

  This behavior has been interpreted by many users as disguised layoffs. In March this year, Lantu Auto has launched a round of layoffs, involving multiple departments such as outbound calls and sales support. Lantu has responded to the power plant, and this wave of adjustments has been settled before the auto show. According to the revelations, at present, the normal elimination rate of Lantu Auto at the end of the quarter is around 5%, and with the new round of executive adjustments, Lantu may usher in a new round of personnel turmoil.
