It was the independent suspension of the previous Green Bird.
It was a multi-link structure with double forks at the front and rear. The bottom was composed of shock cushions and springs.
This suspension structure belonged to the design of a mid-to-high-end car that cost 200,000 to 300,000 yuan.
It was enough to show that the green bird was priced at 180,000 yuan.
How kind.
This was because the materials used for the undercarriage of each Green Bird car.
Overall, it would cost one to two thousand more than a car of the same level.
Compared to a car that cost more than 100,000 yuan, 1,000 to 2,000 yuan was very little.
Many manufacturers were willing to reduce the price for a few dozen yuan.
As long as it did not affect sales, he could be extremely stingy.
This was because they were selling tens of thousands of units a month.
Otherwise, BBA wouldn't have changed the bottom shell of the fuel tank from metal to plastic.
Even if it was just a little saving, it could bring huge profits.
As for the bottom plate.
It was also a place that many consumers could hardly see.
This time.
And the cost of the air suspension.
Compared to ordinary suspension.
It was even more exaggerated.
In the early years, when there was no domestic production.
A car had to be equipped with imported air suspension.
It would cost about 10,000 yuan.
And now.
Some domestic manufacturers had already broken through the technological blockade and had self-developed air suspension, which reduced the corresponding costs.
However, this was only limited to single-chamber air suspension.
For example, the multi-chamber air suspension and the advanced braking system.
These most advanced technologies were still in the hands of foreign manufacturers.
One had to know.
Air suspension was almost the only choice for many luxury cars in pursuit of comfort and sports.
A typical spring suspension system could change the hardness of the car's chassis by adjusting the internal damp, but generally speaking, it could only take care of one direction.
For example, the pursuit of comfort would reduce the support of the chassis.
The more comfortable it was to cross the ridge, the more wobbly it would feel to cross a large curve.
This was determined by the physical properties of the spring.
Because the harder something was, the better it could support.
Therefore, many performance cars that ran on the track.
And expensive racing cars.
When they sat on the car, they would feel that the car was very hard when it passed through the ridge and the speed bump!
This time.
Li Ming directly raised the upgrade target of the new car's suspension to a three-chamber air suspension.
Compared to the single-chamber air suspension of an ordinary luxury car.
The adjustability of the three chambers was greatly enhanced.
On the one hand, it could provide multiple sets of stiffness options, and it could also maximize the volume of the balloon in a limited space.
To put it in human terms:
You have one chamber and I have three chambers. The amount of gas that can be contained is more than yours. The upper limit of comfort is undoubtedly overwhelming.
In addition.
The three-chamber air suspension could also achieve stiffness adjustment under instantaneous working conditions.
In other words, the speed increased during the journey.
When the car needed cornering performance, it automatically changed the suspension damp and anti-tilt bar to increase the cornering support and the strength of the chassis.
"Boss, if we use a three-cavity suspension, the comfort and sportiness of the new car will reach a new height…"
Chen Zhou got excited just thinking about it.
He was in charge of Kun Lun's team.
After working for so many years, he had driven cars that cost from 200,000 to 300,000 yuan to millions of yuan.
He had tried all the high-end products that came from foreign big names.
However, from a production point of view, he had never personally trained a three-chamber suspension!!
But very quickly.
He thought of another problem.
That was a manufacturer that could manufacture three-chamber air suspension. It was almost the top overseas chassis parts manufacturer.
And these high-grade components.
Not only was it expensive to import.
Moreover, production capacity was not guaranteed.
Kunlun was only a domestic company. Many top foreign manufacturers would not give face to them.
For example, high-end accessories like the three-chamber suspension were exclusively for luxury car companies like Porsche.
If production was tight, Kun Lun would not be prioritized.
"Boss, we need to match it with a three-chamber air suspension. The cost might increase a lot, and the production capacity overseas might become a problem…"
Chen Zhou couldn't help but say.
" A typical single-chamber air suspension can be installed on a car. The cost of a domestic product is already around 5,000 yuan. However, if it's a three-chamber air suspension, the cost might be more than 20,000 to 30,000 yuan…"
At this moment.
The other researchers nodded in agreement.
For a part of a chassis.
This was too expensive!
But there was no other way.
Many of the black technologies in the auto industry were in the hands of foreign countries.
However, they didn't notice that their boss had a very subtle expression on his face.
Li Ming smiled slightly." Who said that we have to buy it at a high price? The chassis and suspension are such important parts. If we rely on the import, wouldn't we be relying on others to build a car?"”
"Foreign production capacity has been cut off, and it's difficult to find a replacement.”
"In my opinion, something like the three-cavity suspension can be developed by myself. I happen to have some skills in this area!”
As soon as he said this.
Everyone in the R D department fell silent.
His eyes were fixed on his boss.
Extremely shocked!
Chen Zhou was also stunned.
His expression turned dull.
"What?"
"Boss, what did you say?"
" You can even research on your own with three empty cavities?”
F * ck!
He could even develop this thing himself…
Boss, what the hell can't you do?？
It had to be said.
Air suspension was a shock-absorbing technology that was created specifically for comfort.
The technical difficulty was recognized as high in the industry.
The industry barriers were almost visible to the naked eye.
First, the sealing process of the air spring was complicated.
Secondly, it was difficult to make leather bags.
The control and adjustment of the valve block and the air supply unit by the integrated electronic control system were also needed to realize the operation of compressing and releasing air.
This wasn't as simple as understanding the principles.
He also needed a lot of experience.
There were many technical difficulties and high production requirements.
Therefore…
It cost a total of 15 million yuan of Li Ming's research and development funds.
Of course.
The 15 million yuan was a patent for a complete set of chassis technology, not just limited to the air suspension.
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the three-chamber air suspension principle technology, DCC dynamic chassis control region system!!”
The system's voice sounded.
Correspondingly, a set of techniques appeared in Ming Li's mind.
He became a world-class master of the suspension system.
Moreover, he could materialize this technology at any time.
"I'll send you the technical documents later. Our R D department should recruit more people.”
Li Ming laughed.
He patted Chen Zhou's shoulder.
A portion of the people had gone to work on the battery and motor. Now, the research and development of the chassis needed manpower. As a domestic manufacturer that insisted on self-research and development, the factory and manpower were actually starting to be insufficient.
Chen Zhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The boss's awesomeness was beyond his imagination.
The entire R D department was both happy and in pain!
Happy because there was black technology every day.
The pain was because…
He hadn't even figured out the previous technology, and now there was a new black technology!
Yes.
Numb!
