Chapter 209 A very bold proposal, Cao Yang’s tongue-in-cheek battle with the Confucians

Any engine manufacturer will not be responsible for the production of all parts by itself.

There are specialties in the industry, and some small parts may look simple, but the production process is very complicated.

For example, parts such as valve springs and spark plugs are not very valuable, but their production is quite complicated.

It's obviously unrealistic if you do it all yourself.

As long as the overall layout of the engine is designed in-house, non-core parts can be purchased outsourced.

Whether it is domestic manufacturers or international parts giants, they are still willing to provide parts in this regard.

Of course, if you have to use parts from manufacturers such as Bosch and Denso, the prices will definitely be more expensive.

Therefore, in terms of large items, Cao Yang is planning to arrange for Nanshan to produce them themselves.

"What Mr. Liang said makes sense. We at Nanshan are willing to provide engines for F6 and will go all out to promote the engine project in the next year."

When Cao Yang said this, Ji Hua and Pan Jinxing couldn't say anything even if they had objections.

You can't try to undermine your boss in front of your customers, right?

No matter how low your emotional intelligence is, it won't be this low.

"Mr. Cao, Nanshan can produce world-leading gearboxes, and I believe it can also produce world-leading engines."

"I can promise that the engines and gearboxes of F6 models will always be purchased from Nanshan in the future."

"Of course, after all, the price of our F6 is incomparable with that of the Accord, so we ask for Nanshan's support for the cost."

Wang Fu felt relieved when he saw that Cao Yang agreed to take the order.

However, he was also very stupid and limited the cooperation with F6 models.

He doesn't want to commit to cooperation with other models now.

After all, if BYD wants to build cars, it will definitely produce its own engines in the future.

In terms of models, there will not be only one model, F6.

Cao Yang didn't have much opinion on this.

But any car company with some pursuit cannot always buy engines from outside.

After all, in the traditional automobile era, the engine was the most important component of a vehicle.

There is no such thing as that.

For example, Yangcheng Honda claims to buy an engine and get a car for free.

It fully illustrates the importance of engines and the high level of their engines.

"Nanshan's products have always been competitive in terms of QCD. Please rest assured, Mr. Wang."

"However, what you previously studied was the 2.4L inline four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine used in the Accord. I have some new ideas in this regard."

When Cao Yang said this, both Wang Fu and Liang Chuanqing looked at him with great interest.

It's good to have ideas.

I'm afraid Nanshan doesn't have any ideas.

"Mr. Cao, the turbocharged engine uses exhaust gas to push the pump wheel to rotate at high speed, driving the coaxial turbine to rotate at high speed. Since the turbine has a certain inertia, there is a certain lag in theory. Of course, small inertia turbines are now commonly used. This kind of

The hysteresis is not obvious, but in terms of power response, it is still half a beat slower, and the car will not shift when you step on it lightly. "

"This problem seems to have no solution."

"Will it become a point of complaint from consumers and competitors in the future?"

Although his heart was already moved, Liang Chuanqing was still a little worried.

"Mr. Liang's statement is actually what many people say is that the acceleration curve of a naturally aspirated engine is linear, while the turbocharging curve is curved, so there is lag in the turbine at low speeds."

"In fact, naturally aspirated engines are not linear. At high speeds, the air intake effect of self-aspirated engines is poor. The way to solve the problem is to use variable valve timing and lift technology to increase the valve opening time at high speeds.

, and the lift enlarges the opening area to continue to increase the air intake volume.”

"Such as Honda's VTEC, Nissan VVEL, etc. In fact, when the engine speed is above 5,500 rpm and the lift is turned on, the feeling is abrupt, like a chicken blood feeling. Is this called linearity and smoothness?"

"Turbocharged engines are less effective at low speeds, but self-priming engines are less effective at high speeds."

"At that point, everyone will be talking nonsense."

"Many times, turbo lag is caused by a mismatch between the engine and the transmission, resulting in sluggish starts and frequent setbacks due to transmission problems."

"This is Nanshan's advantage. After all, we produce our own gearboxes."

"The concept of continuous development of internal combustion engines is smaller volume, lower speed, lower displacement, smaller weight, and greater power per liter."

"I heard that Volkswagen's next generation models will use turbocharged engines on a large scale."

"GM is also preparing to launch more turbocharged engines in the future."

"That is to say, Japanese car companies will be slower in this regard."

When Cao Yang said this, Liang Chuanqing did not refute again.

After all, people stand at a higher height.

"Mr. Cao, since Nanshan is confident that it can develop a turbocharged engine, our future F6 models will be equipped with turbochargers."

Wang Fu is also a very courageous person.

Cao Yang has made it so clear that he has no reason to insist on using naturally aspirated engines.

He even felt that coming to Nanshan today was really the right time.

In the future, the direction of BYD's own engine research will need to be changed.

"Mr. Cao, the 1.5T turbocharged engine can certainly meet the needs of the F6, but now each car model generally has two displacement engines for consumers to choose from."

"This is also an important means to widen the price difference between different configurations."

"Do you have any ideas in this regard?"

Now that the general direction has been set, Liang Chuanqing naturally began to consider some more specific issues.

"This is easy to handle. We can launch a low-power version of the 1.5T engine and a high-power version of the 1.5T engine."

"This is the first step. If there are other models that need to be launched in the future, we can consider reviewing the 2.0T and 1.0T versions."

"As long as there is a mature and reliable 1.5T engine, it will not be that difficult to study other displacements."

Cao Yang immediately answered Liang Chuanqing's question.

There are so many solutions used by OEMs in later generations, so he has nothing to worry about.

Of course, we can review the hybrid version in the future, so I won’t rush to talk about it now.

After all, it was only 2003, and the hybrid market was far from exploding.

If you are one step ahead, you are a genius, but if you are two steps ahead, people may think you are crazy.

"Mr. Wang, since we have talked about the next engine research project, I will simply share with you some of BYD's expectations for the engine."

Liang Chuanqing's words were quite polite.

After all, it is our side that is taking the initiative to seek cooperation.

And Nanshan also expressed his agreement very strongly.

Naturally, they can't act like Party A's father.

"If Mr. Liang has any requests, just ask for them."

"I still say what I said, as long as Nanshan can do it, we will fully cooperate."

"If Nanshan can't do it now, I will try my best to create conditions to do it."

The Nanshan engine project has just started and there is a model equipped with it, which is also a good thing for Cao Yang.

After all, engine development takes time, and it also takes time for the OEM to verify whether your engine is suitable for my car model.

If you cannot conduct simultaneous reviews at the new model stage, it will take more time later.

Nanshan's current turnover has reached 10 billion. Without a large number of new parts, it will be difficult to increase quickly to 20 billion at most.

But once the engine project officially enters mass production at the end of this year, the power configuration of engine + gearbox will definitely win the favor of more independent brand car companies.

By then, let alone 20 billion in turnover, it is not impossible to double it again.

After all, Cao Yang is confident that the engine + gearbox developed by Nanshan is better than any other independent brand.

Even compared with international automobile giants, there is a slight gap in terms of quality and stability.

The parameters on paper are definitely not bad.

If you also consider that the engines currently invested by international automobile giants in China are not their most advanced products, then it is not surprising that Nanshan turned against others.
