It is understood that Toyota Textile has been actively deploying in the field of electrification since the "electric shock", and has successively introduced products such as motor rotors for new energy vehicles and separators for core components of hydrogen fuel cells. Among them, the separator, the core component of hydrogen fuel cell, has a high-precision stamping process, which can stabilize the shape of hydrogen microchannel in the fuel cell stack and improve the power generation efficiency.
Zhuang Zhiqiang admits that the rapid transformation and upgrading of automobiles to electrification and intelligence has brought great challenges to the interior industry. Toyota Textile has done a lot of work in the process of developing new products, striving to adapt to new changes on the basis of ensuring the original quality. "We hope to make full use of the technology, technology, products and experience accumulated in the past 100 years to better serve the major new energy automobile manufacturers."
Intelligent layout in advance, launching MX series intelligent cockpit products
In order to embrace the global automobile development trend of "electrification, networking, intelligence and * * *", Toyota Textile laid out the R&D and innovation of intelligent cockpit for fully automatic driving scene in advance.
Zhuang Zhiqiang said that as a pioneer of car room space, Toyota Textile will develop and manufacture more comfortable and convenient car interior space products for users. He believes that user needs are diverse and changeable, and are easily affected by the environment. Only by improving the adaptability and humanization of products can we ensure the creation of "economic value" of products. In recent years, Toyota Textile has devoted itself to systematic research and development in the field of intelligent cockpit by establishing "new value creation center" and "cabin space development center", and launched MX series intelligent cockpit products.
In 20 19, Toyota Textile released the L3 and L4 autopilot intelligent cockpit MX 19 1. At 202 1 Shanghai Auto Show, the health cockpit "MOOX" made its world debut.
At this year's Shanghai Auto Show, cockpit MX22 1, a L4-class self-driving vehicle for urban areas, made its debut in China in 2030. Products are designed to meet more diverse usage scenarios and needs, and the spatial layout and interior configuration can be adjusted according to usage scenarios.
According to Zhuang Zhiqiang, the intelligent cockpit MX22 1 is a solution provided by Toyota Textile as a supplier of automobile interiors and seats with a history of 100 years. This product has attracted extensive attention and enthusiastic consultation from many enterprises including OEM, travel company and software company.
In order to enjoy self-driving cars, the intelligent concept cockpit "MX22 1" was first introduced in China.
At present, self-driving cars are accelerating towards human life. It is estimated that by 2030, with the wide application of autonomous driving technology, the way of human travel will be fundamentally changed, or people will no longer own private cars and can use autonomous taxis at any time. How to provide consumers with time-saving, convenient, comfortable, healthy, private and experienced products and services has become a major issue for all participants in this field.
Richard Chung, Chief Brand Officer of Toyota Textile Co., Ltd.
As a mobile space solution provider, Toyota Textile has long paid attention to the application of self-driving cars in the field of * * * travel.
19 On the afternoon of April, Richard Chung, chief brand officer of Toyota Textile Co., Ltd., officially released the intelligent cockpit MX22 1 with travel service on the booth.
It is reported that in order to build this product, Toyota Textile has integrated more than 50 technologies and product innovations, formed six functional systems, and provided four different levels of interior configuration, striving to enhance passengers' satisfaction and pleasure during the journey.
According to the data, MX22 1 is a concept based on diversity, and it is a new word combining diversity and diversity. It is aimed at all kinds of consumers, including millennials, middle-aged and elderly users, and even people who are inconvenient to travel. For example, My Access, one of its important application scenarios, provides an "easy docking system" to help passengers in wheelchairs more easily fix their wheelchairs in their cars and improve the safety, comfort and convenience of travel.
According to Richard Chung, the space integrates six advanced systems:
One is "always clean space". As long as the previous passenger gets off the bus, the seat will be automatically arranged to the next customer's favorite seat layout. At the same time, the air inside the car will be purified, deodorized and disinfected through the HVAC system to kill bacteria and viruses in the air. At the same time, the airborne cabin monitoring system can detect any internal surface touched by passengers before, and irradiate and disinfect the touched surface by activating the ultraviolet lamp overhead.
The second is "seam entry", where passengers can quickly identify their reserved vehicles in the * * * car through the combination of triple identification information.
The third is "health &; Safe space ",its main function is to ensure the health and safety of passengers. According to the data, the MX22 1 cockpit is equipped with three airbags for each seat: proximal and distal airbags, and front knee airbags. No matter how the seat position is adjusted, passengers can be fully protected. In terms of health, there is also the "Passenger Perception System", which monitors the vital signs of passengers through the monitoring camera in the car and the embedded sensor on the seat, and finds abnormal situations in time and handles them accordingly. For example, it can prevent or reduce the "motion sickness" of passengers. MX22 1 has a built-in "direction perception early warning" system, which can remind passengers of the driving direction of the vehicle with millisecond sensitivity through the combination of sound, vibration and lighting, so as to minimize the occurrence of carsickness.
The fourth is "pluralistic UX space-pluralistic UX space". The large display screen in the cockpit allows passengers to enjoy various entertainment activities such as videos and games. The most noteworthy thing is the "Private Headrest Audio", which is equipped with the newly-built "Privacy Audio System". Through innovative sound engineering solutions, everyone in the car can enjoy their favorite music, videos and games without affecting others.
The fifth is "universal space and multifunctional space", which aims to improve the operational efficiency of service providers. The system integrates the functions of cabin use monitoring system and "tailor-made space system". Through the integration of on-board camera and advanced algorithm, we can monitor the use of vehicles all day, make suggestions on which parts need to be maintained or damaged, help passengers check whether they left anything behind when they left, and let passengers experience different degrees of interior decoration in the same car, which greatly saves the cost of operators.
Sixth, "greener space". In order to achieve sustainable development, Toyota Textile designs many internal components as recyclable and reusable products to reduce the overall carbon footprint. It is understood that the environment-friendly kenaf fiber is widely used in the interior panels of Toyota Textile to reduce the weight and increase the use of organic basic materials.
At present, the continuous upgrading of domestic automobile consumption has also led to the increase of added value of interior and related parts, and automobile interior is rapidly evolving in the direction of personalization and intelligence.
Facing the era of mobile travel, Toyota Textile, a century-old shop, is speeding up the development of various forward-looking technologies represented by intelligent cockpit, further applying the experience and technology accumulated by enterprises in the production of seats and interior parts over the past 100 years to the ever-evolving cars, giving full play to the expertise of interior enterprises, meeting users' needs, exceeding users' expectations, enhancing "comfort value" for users on the basis of "safety" and "environmental protection", and becoming a mobile space system leading the world trend.
