Lenovo: The production and sales of passenger cars in July were better than expected.
On the morning of August 1 1, the passenger car association released the production and sales data of passenger cars in July. The data shows that in July, the output of passenger cars in narrow sense was 654.38+0.689 million, a year-on-year increase of 654.38+03.3%; The retail sales reached 6.5438+0.597 million, up 7.7% year-on-year; The wholesale sales volume was 6.5438+0.63 million, up 7.4% year-on-year. The data of the above three indicators all showed positive growth, and the retail volume was higher than the wholesale volume, and the overall performance was better than expected, indicating that the automobile market ushered in a "good start" in the second half of the year.
In terms of retail sales, in July, the sales volume of cars was 773,000, up by 3.6% year-on-year, the sales volume of SUVs was 728,000, up by 13. 1% year-on-year, and the sales volume of MPVs was 96,000, up by 4% year-on-year. It can be seen that cars still occupy the main advantage in volume, but in terms of growth rate, SUV market has the greatest growth potential among the three major market segments. In addition, the MPV market ended the downward trend that lasted for many months, showing positive growth year-on-year, which led to the improvement of this auto market.
As far as wholesale sales are concerned, the performance of the three major market segments is not much different from that of retail sales, and the overall wholesale sales growth rate of narrow passenger cars in July is lower than that of retail sales, indicating that the inventory pressure of dealers has been reduced and the relationship between manufacturers and dealers has been repaired.
Tesla participated in the development of smart watches.
According to foreign media reports, according to a new document of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Tesla? Motors) is participating in the development of smart watches. As we all know, Tesla has been expanding its electric vehicle business, and the development of watches this time is a brand-new adventure for Tesla.
Xplora？ Technologies is headquartered in Norway and focuses on developing wearable devices such as children's smart watches. According to the smart watch application submitted by the company to the Federal Communications Commission, Tesla is a participant in the project. In a project confidentiality application document, the company listed "Tesla Motors".
It is not clear why Tesla will participate in the project. Actually, Xplora? Technologies seeks FCC approval for X5? Play/? X5？ Play? The eSIM smart watch can use the network connection function. This watch is mainly used to track children's activities and allows children to send voice messages and predefined text messages.
Mainland and aft? Automobile establishes joint venture company
According to foreign media reports, mainland and system suppliers aft? Automotive will set up a joint venture company to produce high-performance plastic connectors for future mobile travel tools. The two companies have signed relevant agreements to set up a joint venture company with 50/50 shares. In fact, since 20 16, the two companies have been cooperating to develop special joints to connect the cooling circuit or turbocharger/charge air cooler with engine room components. The establishment of the joint venture company will further expand the partnership between the two parties in R&D. The new company plans to create more than 30 new jobs by 2025, but it can only be established after obtaining the approval of the relevant anti-monopoly authorities.
Different from traditional cars, electric vehicles need a variety of cooling circuits and have complex thermal management technology. At the temperature of 20 to 40 degrees Celsius, the batteries of electric vehicles can achieve the best working efficiency. This temperature range can make the battery life longer, work more efficiently and prolong the service life. Therefore, similar to the driving and power components, the battery also needs to be cooled or heated according to the external temperature, which leads to the emergence of complex circuits and greatly increases the demand for a single component. The new generation of hoses is getting lighter and lighter, and the high-pressure side and the battery cooling system are smaller, which means that less coolant is needed than the previous cooling system.
Proper mixing of rubber, polyamide and aluminum and ingenious circuit structure can ensure the stability of the system, so special circuits and connectors developed by high-performance plastics appear.
Up to now, the wiring system is usually made of rubber or stainless steel. However, in vehicles equipped with hybrid systems or motors, more and more people begin to replace rubber with advanced technology plastics, which can further reduce the weight of developers and improve performance: because plastic components can reduce the weight of vehicles, thus reducing fuel efficiency and carbon dioxide emissions. At the same time, the reduction of internal combustion engine space also changes the demand for connectors and wiring, because lighter, safer and higher power driving parts will lead to increased pressure and heat load. For example, the auxiliary unit components in the latest generation of internal combustion engines must be able to withstand the continuous high temperature of 160 degrees Celsius for more than 3000 hours, and also need to withstand the highest high temperature of 2 10 degrees Celsius. High-performance plastics made of polyamide with thermal stability can fully meet the above requirements.
Bound by French labor law? Daimler was trapped when it closed the smart factory.
According to foreign media reports, Daimler must find a buyer for the factory it wants to close in Hambach, France, because it is almost impossible to close the factory according to local French laws.
This forced Daimler to be at a disadvantage in the transaction and did not have enough confidence to reach an agreement with potential buyers such as Ineos on the best terms. Ineos Group has held several negotiations with Daimler and plans to acquire the factory to produce its Land Rover Defender competitive products. It is reported that in addition, the Ineos Group has two alternative sites. The group originally planned to build a factory in Bridgend, Wales, England (near the Ford engine factory that will be closed soon) or a Nissan factory in Barcelona, Spain.
Daimler CEO Kang Song Lin (Ola? Kallenuis) said in the financial report meeting on July 23: "In France, it is usually necessary to find a use for the factory after closing it. The last resort is to close the door, but this is not our goal. " According to French labor law, Daimler must try all other methods to close the factory. This French factory has been producing Smart since the establishment of 1997. ForTwo currently employs 800 workers; In addition, local parts suppliers also employ 800 workers. Kang Song Lin said that he would keep the workers working "as much as possible".
In the second quarter of this year, the asset impairment loss of the factory was about 500 million euros, which is equivalent to the cost of rebuilding the factory facilities and building a new body workshop. Sales of luxury cars are rising every year. Although Daimler is expanding the production scale of companies such as Mercedes-Benz, these companies still complain about limited production capacity. In addition, Daimler announced for the first time last year that it would cut the personnel cost of110.40 billion euros, but the position of the assembly line was not affected.
