Vice President of Zero Running Car Zhao Gang
On July 20th, at the '2018 Industry Innovation and New Energy Vehicle Summit and 'Beautiful Travel' Awards Ceremony, hosted by the Daily Economic News and hosted by NBD Auto, Zhao Gang, Vice President of Zero Running Motors revealed that 'the first of the zero runs The production model S01 will be delivered in the first quarter of next year and will be delivered in volume next May.
According to the "Daily Economic News" reporter, Zero Run and Dahua shares jointly developed AI autopilot chips. Its chip 'Lingxin 01' was launched in November last year. It reached the integration verification stage in May this year and will be in the second quarter of 2019. Start the real vehicle test.
At the above-mentioned event, Zhao Gang demonstrated the intelligent driving assistance system of 'Zero Run S01'. Zhao Gang introduced, 'The system has face recognition, one-button calling and automatic parking at this stage. With Tesla's automatic parking The difference between the cars is that the algorithm of the zero-running car can provide the driver with the best position after the car is out, and can realize two automatic parking plans in and out of the car.
It is understood that the zero-sport car established in July 2015 has entered the mass production sprint phase. At the same time, the zero-sport car has set up its own sales model and service system. However, Zhao Gang said that the current zero-running first The main task is core technology research and development, not profitability. 'A zero-running car can gradually start blood production in five years is a success.'
Can't completely copy the mobile phone industry model
On the road of zero-running, the security industry giant Dahua shares provided capital, technology, talent and management experience for the zero-run car. In addition to Dahua shares, there is another company that provides the 'IT gene' for zero-run. The enterprise is Huawei.
Zhao Gang believes that Huawei and Zero Run must be the enterprises that truly master the core technology. The vision of zero-run is to become Huawei in the automotive industry. However, there are many differences between the automobile industry and the mobile phone industry. The industry model cannot be completely copied. In the development path of the product, you must have your own patented technology, which is the core control point of the enterprise.
It is understood that in the past 37 months, Zero Racing has independently developed the T platform (A00 level), S platform (A0 level) and C platform (A level) three major vehicle platforms and 'three power' system, intelligent Network connection system, automatic driving system, with more than 100 patented technologies.
Zhao Gang revealed that there are more than 40 test samples in the zero-run S01. Since last year, the overall measured safety and accident-free mileage has exceeded 500,000 kilometers, and will be applied in the zero-run production car in the future.
'Zero-running car has fully mastered the automatic driving core hardware platform and algorithm technology, and realized the autonomy of automatic driving perception, decision-making executive layer key technology. 'Zhao Gang said.
Electric car companies should guarantee to survive first
'Being a smart electric car is a long industry. A company should be guaranteed to live first in the first 3 years, don't consider making money.' Zhao Gang said.
It is understood that the first production model S01 based on the S platform is a two-door coupe, with a speed of 6.9 seconds per 100 kilometers and a cruising range of 360km. The estimated price is around 200,000 yuan.
This is the starting point for the road of zero-running. When talking about S01 and the next product planning, Zhao Gang said: 'Considering the current industrial environment and cost status, zero-run is not like many new vehicles from SUV products. Cut into the market, we made two rounds of coupe first. '
Zhao Gang revealed that the zero-run A0-class car was listed and equipped with many intelligent functions. After adding some added value, the A00-class car was introduced, followed by the A+ and B+ models.
It is understood that the zero-run S01 will be officially listed in the first quarter of next year; the first model of the T platform will be launched in the third quarter of next year; the first model of the C platform will be launched in the first quarter of 2021.
Zhao Gang said that the zero-sport car will use the model of 'direct camp + city partner' to sell cars. Among them, the direct-run 'base camp' is also the first experience store in zero-run in Hangzhou, which is expected to open in October this year. Next, zero-run There will be a partner in each city, and build their own direct stores, experience centers and service centers. It is expected that the zero-run will be deployed in 18 cities next year.
At present, the production plant of Zero Run Car in Jinhua, Zhejiang Province is under construction and has been capped in June 2018. After completion, it can realize an annual production capacity of 50,000 vehicles, and the annual production capacity will be expanded to 250,000.
