Evergrande Automobile announced that there was a risk of production suspension.

China Evergrande announced on March 22nd that Hengchi 5 was officially mass-produced on September 16th, 2022, and the first batch of mass-produced cars was delivered on October 29th, 2022. As of the date of this announcement, Evergrande New Energy Vehicle has delivered more than 900 vehicles. Due to the tight liquidity, in order to maintain basic business operations, Evergrande New Energy Automobile has taken measures to cut costs, such as reducing the number of its employees. By March 2023, Evergrande New Energy had 2,795 employees, compared with 3,742 employees by June 30, 2022.

Evergrande Automobile said that the Group was at risk of production suspension if it could not obtain new liquidity. However, if the Group can seek financing of more than 29 billion yuan in the future, it plans to launch a number of flagship models and hope to achieve mass production. Under this plan, the accumulated cash flow without leverage from 2023 to 2026 is expected to reach between negative 7 billion yuan and negative 5 billion yuan.

It is worth mentioning that on March 7, Evergrande New Energy Automobile Investment Holding Group Co., Ltd. and Evergrande New Energy Automobile (Guangdong) Co., Ltd., affiliated companies of Hengchi Automobile, were executed for more than 1.04 million yuan due to bill disputes. Counting this execution, the above-mentioned companies have been executed a total of 377 million yuan. Evergrande New Energy Automobile (Guizhou) Co., Ltd. has also been executed for nearly 300 million yuan, and was added to the list of dishonesty by the local court because of default in execution.

In addition, the Swedish Global Electric Vehicle Company (NEVS), a subsidiary of Evergrande Automobile, recently announced the launch of the "Hibernation Plan". According to the plan, the company plans to lay off 320 employees, accounting for nearly 95% of the total number of employees, which will start in the next six months. If the plan is fully implemented, NEVS will have only 20 employees left.

As the first mass-produced SUV model of Evergrande, Hengchi 5 is positioned as a compact SUV, which is equipped with a 150kW motor and a lithium iron phosphate battery from Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited with a rated power of 72.8KWh and a cruising range of 602km, compared with luxury models such as Standard Benz GLA, Audi A3 and BMW X1.

Since the delivery began at the end of October last year, Hengchi 5 has been in constant turmoil. Within 15 days after the pre-sale, Hengchi 5 claimed that the order had exceeded 37,000 vehicles, but only 100 vehicles could be found in the delivery data at that time. By the end of December last year, Hengchi 5 had delivered a total of 324 vehicles.

It is also reported that Evergrande has been losing money continuously since it was renamed Evergrande in September 2020. According to the financial report data of Evergrande, in 2018, 2019 and 2020, Evergrande lost 1.429 billion yuan, 4.426 billion yuan and 7.394 billion yuan respectively, and the financial report for 2021 was not released on time. On April 1, 2022, Evergrande Motor announced the suspension of trading and has not resumed trading so far.

It is reported that the new HI version of Extreme Fox Alpha S is equipped with 34 sensors in hardware, including 3 laser radars, 6 millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic sensors and 13 high-definition cameras to achieve 360 all-round coverage.

At present, with the continuous evolution of intelligent driving from ADAS to high-level autonomous driving, the stadium has shifted from high-speed to cities with more complex scenes. How to quickly overcome urban scenes to create a universal autonomous driving solution for the whole scene has become an urgent problem for the industry.

The Extreme Fox Alpha S HI version was launched on May 17, 2022, and the first batch of delivery was started on July 16, 2022. Previously, it has taken the lead in opening the NCA function in Shenzhen, Shanghai and Guangzhou, opening the NCA function in 249 cities across the country, and opening the 290,000-kilometer expressway intercity intelligent driving network. It has driven more than 300,000 kilometers safely, and intelligent parking has helped users realize worry-free parking for more than 45,000 times. In addition, through three OTA upgrades, it has added many functions, such as APA (Intelligent Parking Assistance) front parking, RPA remote parking, and ICA (Intelligent Cruise Assistance) in urban areas, and its high-level intelligent driving ability has continued to advance.

It is worth mentioning that in Shenzhen and Shanghai, urban NCA has become an important tool for users to travel, and the proportion of users who use this function is as high as 40%, and the use dependence of high-level intelligent driving is forming.

The difference between BYD Tang dm and dmi is the power system. Tang dm is equipped with 2.0T+ plug-in hybrid, while Tang dmi is equipped with 1.5 plug-in hybrid. There are some differences in power between the two cars.

BYD Auto is an automobile manufacturer with independent research and development, independent production and independent brand, and is committed to producing national cars with good quality and low price. In terms of product design, BYD Auto combines the international advanced design concept and the aesthetic concept of China culture to create a unique model.

The brand identity of BYD Auto has also changed. The new logo no longer uses the original blue and white colors, the pattern is changed to an oval shape, and light and shadow elements are added, so the font and graphics have changed greatly. This change highlights the essence of BYD’s innovation, technology and corporate culture, and injects new connotation and vitality into the brand.

When choosing Tang dm and dmi, consumers need to decide according to their own needs and budgets. The 2.0T+ plug-in hybrid system equipped by Tang dm can provide stronger power performance, while Tang dmi is equipped with a more economical and practical 1.5 plug-in hybrid system. If you pay more attention to dynamic performance, you can choose Tang DM; If you pay more attention to economy and environmental performance, you can choose Don dmi.

In a word, there are differences between BYD Tang dm and dmi in power system, and consumers can choose their own models according to their own needs. At the same time, BYD will continue to adhere to the development route of independent research and development, independent production and independent brand, and constantly introduce more high-quality and innovative automobile products.

　　Dr. Michael Hafner, head of driving technology and autonomous driving of Daimler AG, said: "As a pioneer in the field of autonomous driving, this project is ready for mass production of automatic parking service in the future." It is understood that the automatic parking service service can be realized through smart phone applications without the supervision of safety drivers.

　　With the arrival of the "new four modernizations" with electrification, intelligence, networking and sharing as the core, autonomous driving has gradually become a field actively explored by the automobile industry; The increasing competition among enterprises has also promoted the spread and expansion of autonomous driving towards more subdivided fields.

　　On July 23rd, Daimler and Bosch jointly reached a new milestone in the field of autonomous driving: the two companies have been approved by the relevant departments of Baden-Wü rttemberg to use the automatic parking service system in the parking lot of Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart.

　　"The approval of the relevant departments of Baden-Wü rttemberg has set a precedent for other parking lots around the world to be approved to provide automatic parking services in the future." Dr. Michael Hafner, head of driving technology and autonomous driving of Daimler AG, said: "As a pioneer in the field of autonomous driving, this project is ready for mass production of automatic parking service in the future."

　　"This decision of the relevant departments shows that Germany has the ability to take the lead in realizing innovations such as automatic parking service." Dr. Markus Heyn, a member of the board of directors of robert bosch Co., Ltd., said: "Autopilot and automatic parking are important components of future travel. The automatic parking service system confirms the achievements we have made on this development path. "

　　In fact, since the beginning of cooperation, safety has become the primary prerequisite for Daimler and Bosch to jointly develop automatic parking services. Since there was no formal approval process for the unsupervised autopilot function before, experts from the Stuttgart regional administrative department, the Baden-Wü rttemberg Ministry of Transport and the German technical inspection service TüV Rheinland jointly supervised from the beginning of the project, aiming at evaluating the operational safety of vehicles and parking lot technology.

　　It is understood that the automatic parking service service can be realized through smart phone applications without the supervision of safety drivers. Parking service is the first fully-automatic unmanned parking function officially approved for daily use in the world (level L4 of automatic driving classification standard of the International Society of Automata Engineers).

　　In daily life, parking is really a headache. Matthew Nimmo, chief system architect and safety manager of Bosch, said, "Statistics show that accidents caused by parking account for 40% of all traffic accidents, and AVP(Automated Valet Parking) system can effectively reduce accidents."

　　Specifically, the driver will drive the vehicle into the parking lot, get off the bus, and then just click on the smart phone to send the car to the parking space-automatic parking service does not need a driver. When the driver leaves the parking lot to do business, the vehicle will automatically drive and park in the designated parking space. After that, the vehicle will return to the drop-off point in the same way. This process is based on the cooperation between Bosch’s intelligent parking infrastructure and Mercedes-Benz vehicle technology. Bosch sensors installed in the parking lot monitor the vehicle’s driving path and surrounding environment, and provide information needed to guide the vehicle. In-vehicle technology converts commands from infrastructure into driving operations. In this way, vehicles can even go up and down the ramp by themselves and move between the floors of the parking lot. Once the infrastructure sensor detects an obstacle, the vehicle will stop running immediately.

　　In fact, Daimler and Bosch began to develop fully automatic parking technology in 2015; In the summer of 2017, the two sides showed the public the automatic parking service under real conditions for the first time; In September, 2018, parking service technology made its debut in China, and continued to be further tested in the China R&D Center of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars.

　　It is worth mentioning that in July 2018, Daimler became the first international automobile manufacturer to obtain a road test license for self-driving vehicles in Beijing. In the same month, Daimler successively renewed the letter of intent for cooperation with Tsinghua University and signed a memorandum of understanding with Baidu to strengthen strategic cooperation.

　　　　　 Xinhua News Agency, Guangzhou, November 21st Question: The regular recovery rate is less than 2%, and some of them are resold with old ones — — Where did your old mobile phone go?

　　Xinhua News Agency "Xinhua Viewpoint" reporters Ma Xiaocheng and Sun Fei

　　"These are old mobile phones that my family and I have eliminated in recent years." Zhang Li, who lives in Futian District, Shenzhen, pointed to nearly ten old mobile phones of different brands and models at home.

　　A survey by Xinhua Viewpoint reporter found that at present, there are hundreds of millions of idle mobile phones in China, and the formal recovery rate is less than 2%. Where is the "home" of the old mobile phone?

　　There are hundreds of millions of idle mobile phones in stock, and a waste battery of a mobile phone can pollute 3200 barrels of standard bottled water.

　　Zhang Li is a post-80s generation who pursues fashion. "Now the mobile phone is upgrading too fast. I have to change a new mobile phone in an average year or so." She said that the disposal of old mobile phones is a difficult problem. "Old mobile phones store a lot of personal information and dare not throw it away at will."

　　According to data released by China Information and Communication Research Institute, in 2016, China’s domestic mobile phone market shipped 560 million units, an increase of 8% year-on-year. Xiong Zhou, a partner in recycling treasure who is engaged in mobile phone recycling business, estimates that China produces at least 400 million idle mobile phones every year, and the stock of idle mobile phones is about 1 billion. Zheng Fujiang, president of Ai Recycling, said that there is no authoritative statistics on the data of idle mobile phones in the industry at present, but it is at least hundreds of millions.

　　"How to effectively deal with the huge amount of used mobile phones needs urgent attention." Xiong Zhou said.

　　Official website, a mobile phone trade-in, shows that once the mobile phone enters the scrap recycling link, the treatment of heavy metals such as gold, mercury, lead and cadmium is very difficult to control. The cadmium contained in a battery can pollute 60,000 liters of water, which is equivalent to 3,200 barrels of standard bottled water used in daily drinking fountains.

　　Wen Zongguo, director of Tsinghua University Circular Economy Industry Research Center, said that mobile phones are a huge pollution source. If idle mobile phones enter the garbage system, they will generate toxic gases when burned, and the soil will be seriously polluted when buried. If it is sent to some unqualified small workshops for treatment, it will bring great harm to the body and environment of the dismantler.

　　The regular recovery rate is less than 2%, and many mobile phones are resold with old ones.

　　Many people in the industry said that the formal recovery rate of domestic mobile phones is less than 2%. Love recycling is the official partner of many mobile phone brands and JD.COM. Zheng Yujiang, president of the company, said that taking love recycling as an example, real-name registration should be carried out when collecting mobile phones to confirm that the source is legal and formal; After receiving the mobile phones, they will be classified. Those in good condition will be cleaned up, and then they will be hung on channels such as JD.COM Youpin to mark the second-hand mobile phones for sale. Those that cannot be reused will be handed over to enterprises with environmental protection qualifications for dismantling.

　　However, the reporter’s investigation found that there are a large number of gray trading behaviors outside the formal recycling channels.

　　-recycling. In Zhongguancun, Beijing, Tianhe Computer City, Guangzhou and Huaqiang North, Shenzhen, there are many shops and individuals who claim that they can recycle their mobile phones at high prices. In Huaqiang North, the reporter asked several shops with an Apple 6 mobile phone that had been used for three years. After confirming that the mobile phone was in good condition, the other party said that they could buy it, and the prices ranged from 700 yuan to 900 yuan, without any identity registration. When the reporter asked whether the mobile phone data would be cleaned up, the shopkeepers did not give a positive answer. Some shopkeepers asked, "Is your data valuable to others?"

　　-circulation. According to the survey, some recycled old mobile phones will re-enter the market. Feiyang Times Building, located in Huaqiang North, is one of the second-hand mobile phone distribution centers. From two o’clock in the afternoon to six o’clock, people are coming and going here. Mr. Lin Yue, who has been engaged in mobile phone recycling business for more than ten years, said that all Apple mobile phones recovered from various channels come to this market to find their next homes. Some of them are resold as second-hand mobile phones, and some people secretly do renovations, and then resell the old ones with new ones to reap huge profits.

　　In May last year, Mr. Deng bought an Apple mobile phone in a communication equipment store in houjie town, Dongguan. After purchasing it for more than two months, he found that the warranty period of the mobile phone was about to expire. After mediation by Dongguan Consumer Council, the merchant admitted that the mobile phone was a refurbished mobile phone. Mai Huixian, deputy director of the Dongguan Consumer Council, said that among the consumer complaints received last year, the most complaints were about mobile communication, focusing on unscrupulous merchants selling refurbished machines without telling consumers.

　　-disassembly. Second-hand mobile phones with no use value will eventually be dismantled into various spare parts. In the past, many mobile phones were dismantled in an irregular workshop in Guiyu Town, Shantou, Guangdong Province, which caused serious environmental pollution. In recent years, the dismantling here has to be completed in the circular industrial park and supervised.

　　A person in charge of a company responsible for dismantling mobile phones told reporters that their company can handle 20,000 mobile phones a day. After three or four processes, a scrapped mobile phone will be disassembled into plastic, stainless steel, camera, motherboard and other small accessories, and then sold to specialized manufacturers for processing. However, due to the high cost of dismantling to meet environmental standards, many small workshops are illegally engaged in dismantling.

　　Strictly crack down on illegal renovation and sale, and introduce policies to encourage recycling.

　　In the eyes of the industry, there are still many difficulties in recycling used mobile phones. On the one hand, it is necessary to create a good market order so that mobile phones that can be reused can be reused. For those that cannot be recycled, we should increase support for formal dismantling enterprises and reduce the industrial space for illegal dismantling.

　　Ge Jian, a 360 mobile guardian security expert, suggested that citizens’ information security should be protected through legislation to avoid worries of consumers. Zheng Yujiang suggested that public security and other relevant departments should intensify their efforts to crack down on the gray recycling industry chain, especially to crack down on illegal renovation and sale, illegal stealing of user privacy from mobile phones and illegal random disassembly.

　　Many people in the industry said that in developed countries, it is customary for mobile phones to be produced, recycled and disposed of. Mobile phones account for a large proportion of sales through operators and other channels. When consumers buy new machines, many old mobile phones are recycled at the same time. In our country, the behavior of enterprises recycling consumers’ mobile phones has not yet formed.

　　Xiong Zhou said that the new edition of the Catalogue for Disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Products in 2016 included mobile phones, which means that mobile phone recycling will be included in the management scope supported by national policies and funds, but the specific rules have not yet been issued. He suggested that the subsidy rules for dismantling and processing of used mobile phones should be issued as soon as possible.

Finally, with the familiar Xiaomi BGM ringing, Lei Jun in a suit and tie went to the center of the stage of Xiaomi SU7 conference.

In the audience, the front row are the heads of five automobile companies-Li Bin, He Xiaopeng, Li Xiang, Wei Jianjun and Zhang Jianyong.

Of course, there is also the concern of the rim and even the whole network-the three-year period has arrived, and Lei Jun has to hand in his homework.

The highlight is that everyone guessed the price for several months: Xiaomi SU7 standard version is 215,900 yuan, PRO version is 245,900 yuan, and MAX version is 299,900 yuan.

The audience exclaimed.

However, Lei Jun is still a little careful. He made so many preparations in the early stage and asked everyone to spray lightly if they have any opinions.

The logic of benchmarking with Tesla Model 3 and Porsche Taycan is very millet and honest.

Insufficient places, do not shy away. But at the same time, I am very confident. When talking about core competitiveness such as intelligent ecology and other higher configuration performance, the platform shouted "far ahead" and then quickly "floated, floated".

However, the sales data undoubtedly gave Xiaomi and Lei Jun a shot in the arm: only 27 minutes after the sale, Xiaomi SU 7 has exceeded 50,000 units.

Lei Jun is still the Lei Jun who lived up to expectations.

After the release of SU7, his last venture also entered a new chapter.

It is certainly difficult to achieve the goal that Xiaomi Automobile will hit the top five global car companies in 15-20 years, but Lei Jun has already taken the first step.

And this first step is a long-lost bombing of the car circle.

Lift the table

Lei Jun was very straightforward on the stage: Xiaomi SU7 was made according to Tesla Model 3.

But in fact, it only includes the standard version and the Pro version: the former configuration is basically the same as the Tesla Model 3 rear-drive version, but the price of 215,900 is 30,000 lower than that of Tesla (245,900), and the parameters of the latter are almost all-round. Rolling the rear-drive Model 3, the price is completely equal to it.

As for the Xiaomi SU7 Max version with a price of 299,900 yuan, Lei Jun said that he wanted to target Porsche Taycan and "leapfrog the benchmark".

Without the 300,000+previously speculated, after the momentum of the rim rushing to lift the millet table passed, Lei Jun used a set of pricing of 21.59-29.99 to lift the biggest one.

In the series of "Lei Jun answers questions from netizens" released some time ago, the top leader of Xiaomi Automobile said that he is a Tesla owner and a Porsche owner, and called the two car companies "time benchmarks" in the history of electric vehicles and sports cars.

However, he also stressed that if Xiaomi wants to build a car, it must be compared with these best car factories in the world: "There must be some places where they do well, and some places where we do well."

Today’s press conference, after pricing and configuration overwhelmed Model 3, Lei Jun mentioned Porsche and once again stressed that dare to compete is to win, and it will definitely surpass it in the future.

Very excited and confident.

Xiaomi SU7 is positioned as a "pure electric luxury car", and Lei Jun’s goal is to become "the best looking, best driving and most intelligent car within 500,000". In addition to Model 3 on PPT, there are actually P7 from Tucki and ET5 from Weilai.

Judging from the official pricing, the current dealer quotation of the latest Model 3 is 245,900-285,900, with 245,900 rear drives and 285,900 long-life four-wheel drives. The price ranges of Tucki P7 and Weilai ET5 are 20.99-339,900 and 298-356,000 respectively, which are almost overlapping.

As for the configuration and performance, as Lei Jun said, it is far ahead-taking the comparison between the new version of Model 3 and the standard version of SU7 as an example, in terms of performance, Model 3 has an acceleration of 6.1s, a peak power of 194kW, a total torque of 340N·m, and a pure electric cruising range of CLTC of 713km. The four data of Xiaomi SU 7 standard edition are 5.28s, 220kW, 400N·m and 700km, which are almost completely beyond the parameter level.

The only two shortcomings that have been circled are: first, the power consumption of 100 kilometers, Xiaomi’s 12.3kWh/100Km lags behind Tesla’s 11.3kWh/100Km, but Lei Jun said that the SU7 battery is bigger and the cruising range is longer when actually used; The other is intelligent driving and computing power, which Tesla leads by a wide margin, but Lei Jun thinks that Xiaomi’s intelligent driving system will be more suitable for the drivers’ physique in China and the domestic road system.

Obviously, Lei Jun is well prepared for the pure electric car market in the range of 200,000-300,000. Just, I don’t know how He Xiaopeng and Li Bin sitting in the audience feel now, where is the way out for P7 and ET5, and how to play the next generation products.

And, Musk on the other side of the ocean will take a look at Xiaomi SU7 with the time difference.

Create another millet

With the release of SU7, Xiaomi also officially entered the new energy track.

The role of Lei Jun has also changed significantly. It used to be Reebs, but now it is Reske. Looking around the world, only Lei Jun has managed to personally grasp the two mainstream smart consumer goods "mobile phone" and "car".

There are no tricks in the process.

In three years, 3,400 engineers spent more than 10 billion yuan on research and development, and of course, the model worker Lei Jun went all out.

The financial report shows that in 2023, Xiaomi invested as much as 19.1 billion in research and development, and it is expected to reach 24 billion in 2024. In innovative businesses such as automobiles, Xiaomi invested 6.7 billion yuan last year. In the words of Lei Jun, he used real money to express his attitude of seriously building cars.

Yes, only by building a car seriously can we get admission tickets. Lei Jun has a clear understanding of this.

Now that Xiaomi Automobile has officially entered the market, Xiaomi has formed a pattern of two-wheel development of the original Xiaomi basic disk and Xiaomi Automobile.

For Xiaomi, this is a brand-new stage of development, and it can even be said that it is an opportunity to recreate a millet.

More than a decade ago, Lei Jun stood on the cusp of smart phones and built a millet with a market value of 100 billion. In the new decade, Lei Jun has put all his accumulated achievements and reputation in life to catch up with the new energy vehicles.

This is Lei Jun’s last venture, and the imagination space is also on the scale of 100 billion.

There are opportunities as well as challenges, depending on whether Xiaomi SU7 can make the first shot.
