In the early morning of January 4, near a mining area in Hunchun City, Jilin Province, a Siberian tiger walked slowly in the middle of the road with blood on its front paws. The whole process was photographed by the monitoring of the police office. On January 5th, residents of the living area in the mining area told Jimu journalists that tigers had appeared near the mining area many times this winter, and this tiger killed a dog in the early morning of the 4th, and its front paws should be the blood of dogs. The relevant staff of the Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park responded that it is temporarily impossible to determine whether this tiger is a tiger suspected of killing the Northeast Leopard in the near future because of the lack of high-definition video on the side of the Northeast Tiger.

Siberian tiger was surprised in the early morning of the mining area

Two surveillance videos show that at 0: 33 on January 4, a tiger slowly strolled from a distance on the motorway at the entrance of a mining area. When it walks under the camera, it can be clearly seen that there is obvious blood on its front paws. The surveillance video also shows that the camera "Wing Police Room 235" recorded this process.

Because there is still blood on the front paws of the Northeast Tiger, some netizens are worried about whether it is injured after watching the video.

On the afternoon of January 5, local citizen Mr. Hu (Hua surname) told Jimu journalist that the incident occurred near the gold and copper mine more than 100 kilometers away from Hunchun city, and the mining area was located in the Northeast Tiger Nature Reserve. In the early morning of the 4th, the tiger appeared at Xiamengang in the mining area, about 5 kilometers away from the living area. Just at 11 o’clock in the middle of the night on November 6 last year, the camera of "S-bend Police Room 231" near the mining area also photographed a tiger pacing slowly on the motorway, which is the upper gate of the mining area, near the living area.

"I sent these surveillance videos to my friend who is engaged in animal protection. She thinks that the tiger that appeared late at night on November 6 and early in the morning on January 4 is probably the same one." Mr. Hu said that he used to work in the mining area. When he drove back and forth between the mining area and Hunchun City, he had never seen the Northeast Tiger, only the Northeast Leopard, but many of his colleagues and nearby residents had seen the Northeast Tiger.

Residents say it killed a dog.

The boss who opened a canteen in the living area of the mining area told the Jimu journalist that there was indeed a Siberian tiger near the gate of the mining area in the early morning of the 4 th, and it also killed a dog in the gate. The blood on the front paw of the tiger in the monitoring should belong to that dog.

"We are a protected area here, and we can often see the Northeast Tiger." The boss said that he had traveled to Hunchun City by car before and had met the Northeast Tiger on the road. This winter, she felt that the Northeast Tiger would appear more frequently near the mining area. "It appeared in October and November last year, and it appeared again this time." She said that especially this time, the tiger killed a dog, and she was even more scared, and she didn’t dare to go out for a walk at night.

"During the day, everyone went to the mine from the living area, driving or riding motorcycles, which was also good. There were no fewer customers coming to the store to buy things. But at night, everyone dared not walk around. " She said.

I’m not sure if it’s the one that killed the leopard.

Hunchun is the center of the Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park, with a high density of tigers.

According to Jilin Daily’s previous report, at 11: 00 pm on November 6 last year, the surveillance camera set up in the above-mentioned mining area captured the physical image data of the wild Siberian tiger. According to the early warning information of National Forestry and Grassland Administration National Testing and Research Center, this tiger is fierce. It was a tiger that injured people in Duhuangzi Forest Farm in Wangqing County in 2022. Everyone should be vigilant and try not to go out at night.

At 4: 50pm on December 31st last year, a local netizen "hitched a ride" and drove home for New Year’s Day. When he was 18km away from Lushan Road in the southwest of Hunchun, he suddenly found a Siberian tiger in the forest not far from the highway. According to this netizen, this is not the first time he has photographed the Northeast Tiger. The reporter noted that the above-mentioned mining area is also located near the southwest fork.

According to CCTV news reported on December 30, 2023, a rare case of Northeast Tiger preying on Northeast Leopard occurred in Hunchun, Jilin recently, and a No.112 Northeast Tiger has been locked as a suspected tiger. Then, is the Siberian tiger that appeared near the mining area in the early morning of January 4 this suspected tiger that preys on the Siberian leopard?

On January 5th, Jimu journalist contacted the relevant staff of Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park about the appearance of tigers in the mining area on January 4th. He introduced that at present, there is no report from the mining area. Because of the lack of high-definition video on the side of the Northeast Tiger, it is impossible to see the pattern on it, and the identity of the tiger cannot be determined for the time being. It is uncertain whether it is the same as the Siberian tiger that appeared near the mining area last November, and whether it is a suspected tiger that recently preyed on the Siberian leopard.

As for some netizens who are worried that the Siberian tiger will be injured because of the blood in its front paws, the staff said that from the shape of this Siberian tiger, it is an adult Siberian tiger. The tiger walked steadily and walked a long distance, showing no signs of injury.

　 　 1905 movie network news Directed by Chen Kexin, the classic romance film starring Maggie Cheung and Liming will resume on Valentine’s Day on February 13. On February 4, the new MV of "Sweet Honey" sung by popular idol Lu Han was launched. Director Chen Kexin said that Lu Han’s interpretation made "Sweet Honey" closer to young people.

　 　 The movie "Sweet Honey" released in 1996 was praised as a classic of Chinese romance films. The love between Li Qiao and Li Xiaojun became a common memory of a generation. The song "Sweet Honey" sung by Teresa Teng ran through the movie and witnessed the ten-year fate of the two.

　 　 After confirming the classic re-screening of’Sweet Honey ‘, director Chen Kexin decided to find someone to give a new interpretation of the film’s "Song of the Soul".

This is the meaning of this classic re-performance."

China Quality News Network (Zhang Yang) "No matter what state the vehicle is in, you can hear the sound of current as soon as you sit in the car, and long-term riding will cause tinnitus, which is very irritable." On November 15, China Quality News Network Auto News received a complaint from the owner of the Changan Deep Blue SL03, claiming that there is current noise in the camera and other places of the purchased Changan Deep Blue SL03, which seriously affects the driving state and mood.

So far, this website has received complaints from 40 car owners about this problem, which also shows that the situation is not an accident. In this regard, China Quality News Network Automotive Information launched a news investigation to gain an in-depth understanding of the specific situation.

The current noise was found on the day of pickup, but the replacement of the camera could not be solved.

Mr. Zhao from Jiangsu Province (using a pseudonym at the request of the owner) purchased a Changan dark blue SL03 515 pure electric model on September 27 this year. On the way home the next day, Mr. Zhao found that the facial recognition camera above the steering wheel continued to emit cricket-like current noise, and then Mr. Zhao communicated with the after-sales staff on this issue.

After driving the car to the 4S shop, the maintenance staff in the shop replaced the facial recognition camera for Mr. Zhao’s vehicle. Mr. Zhao, who thought that the replacement of the part would solve the problem, found that the gesture recognition camera in the reading light area emitted current noise. Since the 4S shop did not order in advance, it could only take the method of physical power failure. After the maintenance staff unplugged the connector of the gesture recognition camera, the current noise also disappeared.

After the car was repaired, Mr. Zhao drove the car home, never expecting the current noise from the facial recognition camera to appear again. Mr. Zhao told this website: "Later, I couldn’t stand it, so I asked the 4S store how to unplug the camera power after sales. After learning it, I unplugged it. After unplugging, there was no sound in the car."

After three visits to the store for maintenance, the central control screen made noise again

Mr. Chen, also from Jiangsu Province, was in a similar situation to Mr. Zhao. He noticed the current noise in the car the day after picking it up. According to Mr. Chen, because the environment on the day of picking up the car was noisy, he did not notice the existence of the noise. He only noticed the current noise in the car when he drove alone the next day. "The current sound is very harsh, and my ears will hurt after sitting in the car for a while," Mr. Chen said.

Video source: Complaint provided by the owner in the group

Mr. Chen, who wanted to solve the problem, drove the vehicle to the 4S shop, only to be told that this was normal. "They actually told me that there should be this sound in this car," Mr. Chen told SciDev. Net. "It was because Changan had made the sound insulation so good that I heard this noise. In the end, they didn’t fix the car."

Mr. Chen, who had not solved the problem, complained to the manufacturer’s customer service, and was then told that he could go to the 4S store for processing. "After I went to the 4S store again, they changed the camera on the steering wheel for me. Who knew there was still a sound after changing it. They followed the sound and found that it was the sound from the overhead camera, but because there were no replaceable accessories, they didn’t change it," Mr. Chen said.

After the gesture recognition camera arrived at the store, Mr. Chen went to the 4S store for maintenance for the third time. Although there was no noise after the two cameras were replaced, the current sound in the car still existed. According to Mr. Chen’s description, the sound was roughly from the rear of the central control screen. If you want to solve the problem, you need to replace the central control screen. However, due to the epidemic in Chongqing, it will take about ten days for the manufacturer to deliver the goods.

The extended range version of the model is also unavoidable, and the 4S store said it needs to replace the host.

Mr. Kang, from Henan province, bought the 1200 range-extended version of the Changan Deep Blue SL03. Although he noticed a current-like "sizzling" sound in the car a few days after picking it up, he didn’t take it to heart because he played music every time he drove. After two stops in the basement, Mr. Kang felt something was wrong. "Before, I thought there was a current sound because the motor was working, and I didn’t pay much attention after turning on the music," Mr. Kang told China Quality News. "But when parking in the basement, because the environment is relatively quiet, the sound is particularly obvious."

Similar to the experience of the first two owners, the 4S shop replaced the facial recognition camera and gesture recognition camera for Mr. Kang’s vehicle. After the replacement, the position of the gesture recognition camera is no longer noisy, and the sound of the facial recognition camera position still exists. In desperation, Mr. Kang can only ask the after-sales staff to unplug the interface of the camera first.

"After changing everything, there was still a sound in the car. I looked for it with the maintenance master, and finally found that it should be the sound from the host behind the central control screen." Mr. Kang said, "The sound of the host position is not as harsh as those two places, at least it can be sat in quiet conditions."

Mr. Kang told this website that the 4S store contacted it on the morning of November 16, saying that the manufacturer believed that the problem was the host and would replace Mr. Kang with a new host. But due to the pandemic, it will take some time to ship.

Owner: Noise causes emotional irritability, I don’t know if replacing the host can finally solve it

Regarding the issue of current noise in the car, all three car owners said that in the case of current noise for a long time, there will be tinnitus, which is very stimulating and irritable. In addition, because the dark blue SL03 has the function of vehicle to everything, the background will send real-time information of the vehicle to the owner’s mobile phone, so even if the owner uses the "one-click power-down" function that comes with the vehicle, some electronic devices in the car are still running, so the noise will continue regardless of whether the vehicle is powered off or not.

Regarding the solution to replace the host, Mr. Kang told China Quality News Network Automotive News: "I heard in the rider group that someone got better after changing the host, but because I haven’t changed it yet, it’s not clear whether the problem can be completely solved."

For Mr. Chen, who has been to and from the 4S store three times, he is more looking forward to the solution of changing the host to be truly effective. "I have been to the 4S store three times in nearly two months, and the problem has not been solved yet. I really don’t want to toss anymore."…

Due to the low noise of the motor operation, new energy vehicles have a unique advantage over traditional fuel vehicles in terms of overall NVH performance. It is also because of this that the sound in the car will be easier to detect. Therefore, after discovering the current noise in the Changan Deep Blue SL03, Changan New Energy should launch an open and reasonable solution as soon as possible to give the owner a quiet and comfortable driving environment.

As of press time, the complaining owners have reported to China Quality News Network Automotive Information. The manufacturer said that it will replace the host for the owners with related problems. This website expects this solution to completely solve the user’s troubles. Regarding the cause of the problem and the follow-up development of the incident, China Quality News Network Automotive Information will continue to pay attention.

"Cloud listing, pre-emptive price" has become the two innovative marketing methods for new cars since the epidemic this year. If you add the previous idea of "additional distribution without price increase, entry is high matching", the new car listing can be described as "all-out".

On August 15, the 2021 model was newly launched. According to the official statement, the new product realizes an all-round upgrade of technological safety equipment, with an average increase of 8,800 yuan, and even the entry-level model is no longer the "beggar version". But the price remains unchanged, with a price range of 148,800 yuan – 215,800 yuan.

Moreover, Guo Deqiang, executive deputy general manager and party secretary of the sales company, also issued a "horse powder price" at the listing site – the maximum discount is 10,000 yuan, and the starting price after the discount is 138,800 yuan.

As a coupe, its market positioning is indeed more personalized. It was launched as early as 2016, which could be said to have filled the gap in the market segment. Although the subsequent sales were not so popular, they have been relatively stable, and they have become the "pillar". Taking the July data as an example, the sales volume in July was 6,804, of which 4,813 CX-4 were sold, accounting for 70% of the overall sales. So at the launch conference, when I saw Guo Deqiang saying that "the CX-4 is constantly being polished and striving for excellence," I could also feel the sincerity behind this sentence.

The new model is based on the new generation of Soul design language and the construction technology of Chuangchi Blue Sky vehicle, focusing on the personalized and high-quality consumption needs of young people, and the scientific and technological safety equipment is fully upgraded. After the change, the whole series is equipped with 6 standard cars. In addition, different models have also been greatly improved in configuration. A single 2.0L 2WD Blue Sky Vitality Edition model has added a number of configuration improvements including BSM blind spot monitoring system, RCTA reversing warning system, system, electric folding + lock car automatic folding + electric heating, etc., starting at high-end. The highest model in the whole series has added a configuration of 13,000 yuan.

Although the official claims that "entry is high matching", if only the CX-4 is compared horizontally, we still do not recommend choosing the entry-level model. Because through the table below, we can see that when the price difference is 4,000 yuan, the difference in safety technology equipment is as much as a dozen items. So Yipinjun’s suggestion is that if you buy the CX-4, at least start with the lower matching.

If the budget is relatively sufficient, there are a total of 4 models to choose from among the 2.0L models. We can compare that the exploration version is 8,000 yuan more expensive than the vitality version, but it adds panoramic images, multimedia systems, etc. to the configuration. Among them, the multimedia configuration includes functions such as central control color LCD screen, navigation road condition information display, road rescue call, car phone, mobile phone mapping, automatic speech recognition control, vehicle to everything, etc. These configurations not only involve the convenience of daily use, but also the safety of driving. And from the perspective of cost performance, the gap of 8,000 yuan is also more affordable.

The 2021 model has 2.0 and 2.5. If you have a good budget and have higher demand for power and control, you can directly go to the "2.5L + 4WD" model. There are three models on the 2.5L, with prices ranging from 179,800 to 215,800, basically each level is about 20,000 yuan. But if you look closely at the configuration, the 4WD Blue Sky Passion Edition is undoubtedly the best value. The price is 20,000 more expensive than the 2.5L two-wheel drive, but there are more 4WD and many safety configurations. Relatively speaking, the configuration on the 4WD Blue Sky Fearless Edition is less attractive.

Summary:

It has always been considered a "maverick" brand and insists on its own insistence. Therefore, CX-4, as the leader of coupes in the market, has obvious character and differentiation. Although there are continuous independent or joint venture brands listing coupes, they all lack some coupe flavor. This time the CX-4 is newly launched, with no price increase, once again enhancing the product competitiveness and providing a new choice for consumers who like "+ sports".

In the automotive marketChoosing a mid- to high-end sedan often poses a dilemma for consumers. The new and the Pro models each have their own unique characteristics in different dimensions.Attracted countless attentionHow do you choose the car that best suits you?

Imagine you walk into a car showroom.The new Asian dragon in front of you is like an elegant dancerThe streamlined body design is unforgettable, and the headlights are like a pair of piercing eyes, shining with wisdom and vitality. In contrast, the Passat Pro appears stable and restrained.Like a mature gentlemanThe deep body lines convey a low-key luxury

Entering the car, the interior of the Asian Dragon is like the lobby of a high-end hotel, with soft leather wrapping the seats.The exquisite sewing process exudes a sense of luxuryThe clever use of multi-color ambient lights makes the interior space appear warm and layered.In sharp contrast to thisThe interior of the Passat Pro is more minimalist, and the design style is more pragmatic. Although it is generous, it is slightly inadequate in terms of technological configuration

In terms of power system, the new Asian Dragon’s 2.5L intelligent electric hybrid dual-engine system exhibits excellent performance.Maximum power up to 172 kWThe power response is fast, the driving experience is pleasant, and although the Passat Pro’s 2.0T engine also has good performance,But not as good in terms of power output.It seems more suitable for consumers who pursue comfort

When it comes to the cost of use, many people consider fuel consumption when purchasing a car.The new Asian Dragon’s fuel consumption figures are stunningThe comprehensive fuel consumption is only 4.31L/100km, which not only reduces the cost of daily use, but also conforms to the pursuit of environmental protection by modern people. The fuel consumption of the Passat Pro is as high as 6.87L/100km, although it is within the acceptable range.But compared to the Asian dragonIt seems a bit sluggish

In terms of value retention, the performance of the new Asian Dragon is also not to be underestimated. The data shows that,Its three-year value retention rate is as high as 63.67%.It is quite competitive in the used car market, and the value retention rate of the Passat Pro is about 59.39%, although it is not bad.But compared to the Asian dragonIt seems to lack some attraction

Smart security configuration is a key concern for today’s consumersThe new Asian Dragon is equipped with a comprehensive intelligent driver assistance system, including lane keeping, active braking and other functions, which enhances driving safety and convenience.The Passat Pro also comes with several security featuresHowever, it still needs to be improved in some advanced configurations

in comparisonThe Passat Pro also comes with a number of security features.But it is a bit conservative in some high-level functionsAlthough its safety system is also quite perfect, it may not be able to provide comprehensive protection like the Asian Dragon in the face of more complex driving environments.

Not only that, but the introduction of smart technology has also changed consumers’ expectations of cars.Today’s car buyers expect their vehicles to offer more than just a basic driving experienceTo be able to integrate with their lifestyle, the new Asian Dragon performs well in this regard.

On September 20, it officially ushered in the listing, launching 6 configuration models, priced at 15.19-17 3,900 yuan. Like the previous models of dark blue, dark blue L07 still maintains both extended range and pure electric dual power mode. At the same time, dark blue L07 can also be said to be related to the old and new models. However, now the price of dark blue L07 is higher.

In the early stage of the dark blue L07 listing, consumers can also enjoy multiple car purchase gifts, such as free Huawei Dry Smart Driving ADS SE high-end package, dark blue replacement subsidy 5000-6000 yuan, three power system lifetime quality assurance, free home charging piles, basic traffic lifetime free, entertainment traffic 2 years free and a variety of car purchase financial policies.

The dark blue L07 is positioned higher than the dark blue SL03, and it can also be said to be a sister model of the dark blue SL03, and the two will be sold together in a certain period of time. Compared with the dark blue SL03, the dark blue L07 has been adjusted to a certain extent for styling, but the difference is relatively small. For dark blue cars, the relationship between the dark blue SL03 and the current dark blue L07 seems to be closely guarded.

For example, in the front face, the new car has been adjusted to surround it, and the overall style is still simple and stylish. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4875/1890/1480mm, and the wheelbase is 2900mm. Compared with the dark blue SL03, there are only subtle changes in the body length, and the rest of the dimensions remain the same. If we are not interested in smart driving, in fact, now is also the best time to start with the lower-priced dark blue SL03.

At the rear of the car, the new car is basically the same as the dark blue SL03, only adjusted for the design of the rear surround, and the change is more simple. At the same time, the new car comes standard with an electric lift rear wing. This rear wing will automatically rise when the speed reaches 90km/h or more.

In terms of interior, the new car adopts a new design style, directly canceling the LCD meter, but adding a 55-inch AR-HUD head-up display. In addition, the new car still provides a sunflower screen that can be flipped left and right, with a size of 15.6 inches and a resolution of 2.5k. Built-in Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, supports a variety of mainstream applications and car-machine map navigation, intelligent AI voice assistant, and supports Huawei HiCar, CarLink, and CarPlay three mapping interconnections.

Not only that, the new car has been redesigned for the interior steering wheel style, interior lines, door handles, etc., making it more simple and fashionable in the car. Not only that, the new car also provides the more popular zero-gravity seats, and is standard for the co-pilot, providing 16-way electric adjustment, sleep headrest, 120-degree seat lying flat, 8-point partition back massage, ventilation and heating, seat memory, etc.

In terms of configuration, the new car provides a 22-speaker sound system, 7.1.4 channels, smart car fragrance, 64-color interior ambient lights, front double-layer sound insulation glass, etc. The most critical thing is that the dark blue L07 is currently a car within 200,000 yuan, equipped with Huawei Dry Smart Driving ADS SE version of the only one. This system can support high-speed pilot assistance, urban cruise assistance and intelligent parking assistance. Although there is no lidar blessing, the level of smart driving is not low.

In terms of power level, the new car provides two sets of systems for range extension and pure electricity. In terms of range extension version, the dark blue L07 also takes the route of large-capacity battery, with 230MAX and 300MAX versions, both equipped with 1.5-liter naturally aspirated range extender, while the maximum power of the motor is 160kW and 190kW respectively, the maximum torque is 320N · m, and the fuel consumption under CLTC operating conditions is 3.94L/100km and 4.04L/100km respectively. The comprehensive range is 1300km and 1400km respectively. The corresponding pure electric range is 230km and 300km respectively, and the fuel tank volume is 45L.

The pure electric version is relatively simple. The CLTC has a cruising range of 530km, the maximum power of the motor is 185kW, and the maximum torque is 310N · m. Compared with the dark blue SL03, the extended range version of the dark blue L07 has been improved. But as a model with a price close to 170,000 yuan, the pure electric version has a cruising range of only 530km, which is a bit weak.

Since the beginning of this year, Deep Blue’s dependence on Huawei has obviously increased, but there are obvious differences between the Huawei Smart Driving ADS SE version and the Smart Driving ADS 3.0 system. In contrast, the "ADS SE" version is more suitable for calling "low-end Huawei Smart Driving". The core of Huawei’s Smart Driving ADS 3.0 system is Huawei’s self-developed 192-line lidar. In this regard, the Dry Driving ADS SE version is missing.

So at this time, if we compare the price of dark blue SL03 and dark blue L07, in fact, it is not difficult to find that dark blue SL03 is more cost-effective. At present, the entry price of the dark blue SL03 extended range version is only 139,900 yuan (guide price), and even the end point in some areas has a discount of 15,000 yuan! Of course, the extended range of dark blue SL03 is slightly shorter, only 135km, but it still has a price advantage of nearly 40,000 yuan compared to dark blue L07.

The so-called Smart Driving ADS SE version is not the only model at the price of the dark blue L07. There are many models that can reach this smart driving level, but they are not named "Hua". Therefore, under comprehensive consideration, although the pricing of the dark blue L07 is reasonable, it is not smart enough at the moment when the price war is intensifying. So, will you choose the dark blue L07 or still choose the dark blue SL03?

Huawei’s car-making national team has added another friend, and Dongfeng Landmap and Huawei have officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement.

On January 22nd, Huawei, a Lantu brand under Dongfeng Motor Group, signed a strategic cooperation agreement. The two parties will work together to create an excellent intelligent travel experience to meet the needs of modern consumers and promote the high-quality development of the automotive industry. This cooperation will deepen the application of intelligent technology in the automotive field and accelerate its commercialization process.

▲ Lantu Auto & Huawei official publicity cooperation

At the signing ceremony, DONGFENG MOTOR CORPORATION Party Committee Standing Committee and Deputy General Manager You Zheng, CEO Lu Fang of Lantu Automobile, Vice Chairperson and Rotating Chairperson Xu Zhijun of Huawei, and CEO Jin Yuzhi of Huawei Intelligent Vehicle Solutions Business Unit (BU) attended the ceremony.

It is worth noting that Yu Chengdong, chairperson of Automotive BU, who is responsible for Huawei’s smart car business (now Hongmeng Zhixing), did not appear at the signing site.

From the perspective of the two sides’ announcements, the main purpose of this cooperation is to promote the deployment of intelligent technologies, and it is worth noting that when Huawei and Changan jointly announced the establishment of a joint venture company, they also focused on the intelligent aspects of automobiles. It can be seen that the cooperation between Lantu and Huawei may be close to the cooperation model of Changan.

Huawei currently has three different automotive business models internally, one is the parts, the other is the HI model, and the last is the Hongmeng Zhixing model. Yu Chengdong is currently mainly promoting the Hongmeng Zhixing model, frequently serving as the platform of Hongmeng Zhixing, and even participating in product launches. Under the Hongmeng Zhixing model, Huawei will participate in all aspects from design to sales.

Based on this information, the cooperation between Dongfeng Landmap and Huawei should also be an HI model, and even Dongfeng Motor will participate in the joint venture between Huawei and Changan in the future.

First, Huawei Landmap officially joined hands to enhance the competitiveness of smart cars

According to the official news of Huawei Smart Car Solutions, during the signing period, the two sides conducted in-depth discussions on the development trend of intelligent connected vehicles.

▲ Main models of Lantu Automobile

From the perspective of the qualifications of both parties, Lantu Auto has an industry-leading position in vehicle safety and driving handling performance, particularly in terms of vehicle safety and driving performance, leveraging the 55-year experience of the central enterprise Dongfeng Company and the world’s leading new energy vehicle manufacturing technology.

Huawei has a deep accumulation in the field of Information Communication Technology (ICT) and continues to make breakthroughs in intelligent technology. The cooperation between the two parties will enable Lantu Automobile to further improve and iterate in the field of intelligent new energy vehicles.

At the signing ceremony, DONGFENG MOTOR CORPORATION Party Committee Standing Committee and Deputy General Manager You Zheng, CEO Lu Fang of Lantu Automobile, Huawei Vice Chairperson and Rotating Chairperson Xu Zhijun, and Huawei Intelligent Vehicle Solutions Business Unit (BU) CEO Jin Yuzhi and other senior leaders attended to witness this important moment.

At the scene, Lantu Automotive COO Jiang Tao and Huawei Smart Car Solutions BU Vice President Chi Linchun signed the agreement on behalf of both parties.

Second, Lantu Huawei cooperation is implemented, or the HI model is adopted

At present, Huawei has three main models in the automotive field, namely the parts supplier model, the HUAWEI INSIDE (HI) model and the Hongmeng Zhixing model. The layout of the three business models currently formed by Huawei varies according to the depth of participation:

Well, first of all.Parts supplier modelThis means that Huawei, as a core supplier in the era of smart electric vehicles, provides automakers with a range of standardized components, such as lidar, millimeter-wave radar, cameras, motors, and on-board lighting, which are closely related to electrification and intelligence.

Secondly, the solution model, namelyHUAWEI INSIDE (HI)To provide full-stack integrated solutions to car companies, while the car design, manufacturing and sales are still the responsibility of the car companies themselves. This plan is represented by BAIC’s Extreme Fox, and Avita and other brands. Later, Dongfeng Landmap may also adopt this model.

▲ HUAWEI INSIDE MODE

Finally, the Hongmeng Zhixing model involves Huawei’s in-depth participation, from product definition, user research, channel retail to marketing and other aspects. At present, Hongmeng Zhixing’s cooperative products mainly include Wenjie, which cooperates with Salis, and Zhijie, which cooperates with Chery. At the same time, Huawei’s Hongmeng Zhixing project with BAIC and JAC is also on the way.

In short, the first two models are mainly for enterprise customers (Huawei to B), while Hongmeng Zhixing is directly for consumers (Huawei to C).

In the past few years, with the popularity of the Wenjie brand, the outside world once believed that Huawei’s main energy in automobiles had shifted to the Hongmeng Zhixing model, and this model was officially upgraded to Hongmeng Zhixing this year, while the earliest proposed HI model always seemed tepid.

But at the beginning of this year, this model also underwent a new change.

Just last week, at the Changan Global Partner Conference, Zhu Huarong, chairperson of Changan Automobile, took the initiative to stand on the HI model.

Zhu Huarong pointed out that although the Hongmeng Zhixing model still has room for discussion in terms of following industrial laws, meeting policy requirements, and protecting user interests, the HUAWEI INSIDE (HI) model is undoubtedly fully consistent with these key factors.

The HI model has promoted the strong alliance between Changan and Huawei, achieving complementary advantages, fully stimulating the core competitiveness of both parties, and forming a close community of interests. This cooperation model not only conforms to the general trend of industrial development, but also brings higher-quality products and services to users, ensuring the fundamental interests of all parties.

At the same time, it is understood that Huawei and BAIC will also launch a HI model model again this year.

And Huawei’s cooperation with Lantu this time seems to have also moved towards the HI model.

From this perspective, the Huawei HI model is not going away, but will continue to be a very important automotive business model for Huawei.

However, slightly different from the previous HI, Huawei has announced that it will establish a joint venture with Changan Automobile to spin off the automotive intelligence-related business and operate it separately. Changan will become one of the shareholders, which also means that HI model companies may participate in the new joint venture. Lantu is also expected to become one of the shareholders of Huawei’s Changan joint venture in the future.

This cooperation reflects the complementarity of technologies and resources between the two parties, and is also the result of joint research and innovation between the two companies in the field of smart vehicles. Through this cooperation, Huawei and Dongfeng Motor are expected to jointly promote the advancement of smart vehicle technology and bring new product options to the market.

▲ Hongmeng Zhixing Model

On the other hand, Hongmeng Zhixing is still making great progress. After the launch of the new M7, it quickly set off a sales whirlwind. This year, it has surpassed its ideal for two consecutive weeks and become the best new car company in a single week.

After the launch of the M9, orders also exceeded 54,000 units.

At the same time, the Smart S7 jointly launched by Huawei and Chery has also begun mass production and delivery.

In addition, according to media reports, Huawei, BAIC and JAC will cooperate through Hongmeng Zhixing, and will also launch the "X world" brand. It is expected that new products will also be available to consumers this year.

Overall, Huawei’s automotive business is gradually becoming clearer, and many domestic auto brands are expected to usher in a comprehensive upgrade through cooperation with Huawei.

Conclusion: Huawei Landmap cooperation can be expected in the future

At the beginning of this year, Lantu Automobile announced last year’s sales results, reaching 50,552 units. It achieved its target of 50,000 units set in 2023. Compared with the previous year, Lantu Automobile achieved a significant increase in annual sales of 160%.

Today’s announcement of this strategic cooperation heralds the in-depth cooperation between Dongfeng Lantu and Huawei in the field of smart car technology, which will further promote the development of the smart car industry and bring consumers a smarter and safer travel experience.

In addition, this cooperation is also expected to play a positive role in Lantu’s influence and sales growth.
