September coincides with the 46th National Quality Month. At the beginning of this year, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the "Outline for Building a Quality Power", setting a new direction for quality work in the new era. Recently, MIIT released the "Work Plan for Stable Growth in the Automotive Industry", which also focuses on improving the quality level of automotive product supply.

As the "national team" of new energy vehicle manufacturing, Lantu is committed to becoming a user-oriented technology enterprise, adhering to quality responsibility, insisting on providing users with high-quality products, and creating value for users in a down-to-earth manner. From R & D to production, from material warehousing to product delivery, from brand establishment to the completion of the "three-year three-category" strategy, Lantu has solidified the product foundation of "new strength" in vehicle manufacturing with strict quality, writing a new chapter in the transformation of China’s speed to China’s quality, and a manufacturing power to a manufacturing power.

It’s not a good idea.System construction to create excellent quality

Lantu inherits Dongfeng’s more than 50 years of experience in the automotive manufacturing field, and combines the brand characteristics of high-end new energy vehicles to create a user-centered quality evaluation system, always providing users with a product experience that exceeds their expectations.

In terms of Product Research & Development, Lantu benchmarks international first-line brands, meets global regulations, takes into account European, North American, Asian and other working conditions standards, and builds a complete design and development standard system framework. Through ESSA’s native intelligent electric architecture, central centralized SOA electronic and electrical architecture, high-strength cage body and other self-developed cutting-edge technologies, it has laid the foundation for creating high-quality products.

In terms of trial production and manufacturing process, Lantu has established the VES vehicle evaluation standard and refined quality evaluation system: based on the VES evaluation standard, Lantu conducts more than 500 items such as appearance inspection, road test inspection, rain inspection, warehousing inspection, etc. on the off-line vehicles, and strictly checks the factory quality of the vehicle. With the goal of the refined quality evaluation system, Lantu conducts detailed evaluation and improvement on the user’s high-perception of materials, clearance, color difference, odor, vehicle operation, driving experience, etc., so that users can see, hear, hear, and touch, all presenting a well-crafted high-end enjoyment.

In terms of supply chain, Lantu is committed to being "the setter and leader of the quality system and technical standards for new energy vehicle suppliers", establishing and improving the supplier quality system evaluation standard (VQS), summarizing 12 core processes and their management requirements, which can systematically and comprehensively identify the quality weaknesses of suppliers, and focus on the control of processes that affect key and important characteristics, early warning of quality risks, and make targeted improvements. At the same time, LANTU combines the full-featured product special characteristic identification, the whole value chain process special characteristic guarantee network preparation and the supplier quality evaluation system (VQS) to realize the autonomy and control of high-value parts. The domestic air spring system, the lifting triple screen, the dimmable canopy, and the variable damping shock absorber of LANTU Dreamer on the LANTU FREE are all successful examples. In order to improve the delivery level of supplier parts quality, LANTU has established a supplier quality SSC evaluation and management mechanism, implemented targeted supervision and counseling for suppliers whose quality performance is not up to standard, and improved their quality capabilities; carried out "zero defects" and "zero re-issuance" positive incentives for suppliers with good quality performance, and built a new type of cooperative relationship with suppliers.

Lantu Automotive Intelligent Manufacturing Base

It’s not a good idea.Intelligent manufacturing empowers to create 0 bad products

Landmap stands by technology, empowers with intelligent manufacturing, continuously improves the production process, and controls the details. Through the application of cutting-edge manufacturing combined with cutting-edge digital technologies such as IoT, big data, and edge cloud, every detail of the product can be carefully crafted to create exquisite, sturdy, and safe products.

In the manufacturing process, Lantu uses numerical control hydraulic pad technology to match the high-speed synchronous stamping line produced by steel and aluminum mixed production, so that the error control of each process is at the industry first-class level (0.1mm), thus ensuring the production efficiency and quality stability of parts. In the welding factory with 100% automation coverage, Lantu uses laser welding, ARPLAS welding and traditional welding technology to combine, which not only ensures the strength stability and reliability of the car body, but also makes the car body feel more refined. 195 sets of high-precision servo tightening equipment on the Lantu assembly line, through the self-developed TMS digital torque control system, achieve 100% accurate control of the key torque of the whole vehicle, which can be traced back to the torque data of nearly 10 years.

Through the use of 5G and big data technology, Lantu’s latest generation of autonomous mobile backpack robots (AMR), integrated laser navigation and 5G + WIFI dual-mode communication, AI binocular vision + 3D laser fusion navigation and obstacle avoidance technology, can achieve automatic and accurate delivery of the final assembly line. In addition, Lantu has also built a digital twin of production that integrates digital workshops and physical workshops. Through AVI radio frequency identification, MES system, key process visualization and key equipment online monitoring and other technologies, lean production is realized to ensure zero defect rate of products.

It’s not a good idea.Strict testing to create high standards

High-quality products require high-level inspection and control.

From Product Research & Development to production, Lantu Automotive has set up strict quality verification procedures, including 50 nodes and 12,338 "devil training "-like verification projects. Lantu has carried out road durability tests on mass-produced test vehicles with a total mileage of more than 3 million kilometers, passing through Turpan, Kunlun Mountains, Dali, Hainan, Heihe and other places, experiencing dry heat, humid heat, dry cold, warm and other climatic conditions. The whole vehicle and battery system have undergone more than 1,000 kinds of road conditions and various extreme environments such as minus 40 ° C and high temperature 50 ° C to ensure the safety and stability of the vehicle under various extreme conditions, allowing users to have high-quality car enjoyment.

In addition, Landmap has created a factory test road with the longest mileage, the most variety, and the most stringent technical conditions among the new mainstream car manufacturing forces. It has a complete range of road test tracks and simulates various road surfaces such as speed bumps, manhole covers, rough dirt roads, and cobblestone roads that may be encountered in actual driving, ensuring a comfortable driving experience for users.

Detailed sampling inspection is also one of the keys to creating high-quality Lantu products. In terms of in-car air quality that users are concerned about, Lantu implements stricter sampling inspection frequencies than most OEMs in the industry on the basis of the double standards of the national standard and ISO, to ensure that the odor level of the whole vehicle is ≤ 3.0, which is more stringent than the requirements of the national standard; in the off-line stage of the production car, Lantu conducts single-shift line, double-shift line and other working conditions of the sampling vehicle, evaluates the horizontal roll of the production car, and follows the body of the curve to ensure the excellent driving characteristics of the Lantu brand. The most important "three electric" for new energy vehicles, Lantu Automobile adopts the whole process of inspection, including high voltage insulation inspection, potential balance test, charging socket insulation/grounding test, rain test, wading test, etc. The number of inspections is more than other companies, to ensure that every car delivered to the user meets the R & D design standards.

It’s not a good idea.Recruit talents and forge elite soldiers

The advantage of "people" in the development of Lantu’s thick planting industry has not only created skilled soldiers, but also trained a large team of supplier auditors, becoming a force that cannot be ignored in achieving Lantu’s excellent quality.

Lantu’s quality team is full of talents, not only experienced, meticulous and patient technical experts, but also "hand models" that can touch 1mm slightly convex or sunken with just their hands, and "golden noses" that can identify the source of volatile odors in the car with their noses alone. As well as a large number of engineering and technical talents such as "Chegu talents" and senior experts, they guard the "door" of Lantu’s product quality. Lantu Dreamers have become the designated car for official large-scale conferences many times with their excellent product strength.

Landscape quality engineers test vehicles for clearance surface differences

For suppliers, Lantu has also established a supplier quality system auditor qualification certification mechanism, and regularly conducts parts quality training including parts expertise, quality system, quality tools, etc., to continuously improve the auditor’s ability and increase the industry-related professional level.

Strict quality creates the ultimate product. Since the establishment of the brand, whether it is industry evaluation or user reputation, Lantu has become synonymous with safety and reliability. Lantu’s first model, Lantu FREE, won the 2021 China Automotive Wind and Cloud Festival Jury Award with its outstanding performance in 11 test dimensions such as power, handling experience, and safety. It also won the "five-star" evaluation of the C-NCAP test with a comprehensive score of 92.3%, ranking first in the comprehensive score of Chinese brand new energy models. In 2022, Landmap Dreamer successfully challenged the first domestic 90km/h ultra-US standard high-speed rear-end test with 1.88 times the collision energy exceeding the world’s most stringent collision standard; in 2023, Landmap Dreamer was awarded the C-NCAP five-star safety certification, becoming the first MPV model to receive China’s new energy five-star safety certification. As the third model of Lantu, Lantu Chasing Light has achieved the industry’s top performance in all aspects of driving control, intelligence, luxury and safety. In the 10th Qinghai Lake (International) Electric Vehicle Challenge held in 2023, Lantu Chasing Light won 7 awards including the Best Acceleration Performance Award, the Best Handling Performance Award, and the Best Technology Configuration Award under the complex high-altitude road conditions and strict evaluation standards, and won the blockbuster comprehensive award – the Golden Antelope Award, which fully demonstrates the strength of hardcore products.

All along, Lantu adheres to long-term doctrine, has a bottom line, abides by rules and boundaries, insists on laying a solid foundation and consolidating technology. Adhering to strict detail standards, rigorous production technology and strict supply system, Lantu guarantees the safety, comfort and reliability of every new car that leaves the factory, so that users can use the car without worry. In the future, Lantu will continue to empower and empower with innovation and efficiency to drive the high-quality development of the enterprise, and use high-quality, cost-effective products and warm and comfortable services to continuously meet the diverse needs of users and create a safe and beautiful car life for users.

　　[Test drive experience] I am a "choice syndrome" sufferer, struggling to face too many choices every day, which clothes to wear, what to eat for breakfast and lunch, what kind of words to use to describe a car… In order to deal with it, I adopt the "no choice" approach – wear whatever clothes you see, eat the same meal every day, and find inspiration when writing articles. Many people also have the same confusion when shopping for a car. The more they see, the more undecided they are, and they are very envious of consumers who swipe their cards directly after taking a fancy. Of course, there is a necessary condition here, that is, the design of the car must be outstanding, and perhaps, the appearance can be achieved.

　　Maybe you will ask me, there have been so many Mazda CX-5 articles before, why is there another one? Oh, don’t worry about closing the browser, this CX-5 is not another CX-5, this is the first article about the test drive experience of the domestic CX-5, what I test drive is the 2.5L model that was not available in the previous imported version. Can the 2.5L with the maximum 196 horsepower make up for the small regret that the previous 2.0L engine power is slightly weaker? How is the workmanship of the domestic model? These must be your concerns.

　　The models of Changan Mazda CX-5 are richer than the imported version. Among the 6 models of the whole series, the highest two models are equipped with 2.5L engines, and the entry-level models of the whole series are also matched with a 6-speed engine. Mazda officials revealed that the domestic CX-5 will be officially launched on August 18. At present, we only have the official pre-sale price information: 18-260,000, which is highly coincident with the most competitive price range.

● Fresh 2.5L engine

　　This engine has made great progress in parameters compared to Mazda’s previous generation 2.5L engine. The maximum power has jumped from 169 horsepower to 196 horsepower, and the maximum has also increased from 224 Nm to 252 Nm (from the old engine parameters). Such great progress is due to the application of the next series of new technologies of Chuangchi Blue Sky, of which the 13:1 high and 4-2-1 exhaust are the biggest contributors.

● Smooth Chuangchi Blue Sky 6AT Transmission

　　The small serpentine handle has a very short stroke, as well as a crisp feel when changing gears. The handle is just right, and the gear is very clear. As long as you push it lightly, the handle fits into position by itself. You may wonder why I use so many words to describe a manual gearbox to describe a gear. But the truth is, although you don’t have to operate it as often as you operate a manual gearbox, a good feel is also a plus.

● Power output characteristics with insufficient explosive force and smooth addition

　　　When driving on the road, the first thing I do is to take a kick of floor oil, please forgive my rudeness, but I really want to know what kind of push this 2.5L engine can bring. The result is not disappointing, just not surprising. If compared with the imported version of the 2.0L model that has been driven before, the power of the 2.5L model is indeed much stronger, and the acceleration feeling during high rotation is very continuous, but the power is evenly distributed in each speed range, not violent at all.

　　If the experience stops there, then the conclusion will be that the power of this car is a bit inferior to the engine parameters. However, the truth is that smooth and fast power response is its specialty, and the violent acceleration will only go against it. Whether it is in daily driving or in violent aggressive driving, the power output can always be maintained in a highly linear and very smooth state. The test drive location is in the mountains at an altitude of about 900 meters, and the air pressure is low. When the test car comes to the editorial office, we will test it in Beijing, and then we will know its actual power level.

　　The throttle is very responsive, a little deep, and the gearbox will downshift very aggressively and quickly, as if anticipating your command. You must be amazed, as I am, how this gearbox can move so gently, like a ballerina tiptoeing past you, you can’t even notice it. That’s all there is to the gearbox.

　　This gearbox also has the ability to drop 4 gears. When cruising at about 70km/h, quickly press the accelerator to the end, and the gearbox will follow the most aggressive shift logic, jumping directly from 6th to 2nd gear. In manual mode, even if the tachometer pointer reaches the red line and no longer climbs, the gearbox will not automatically lift, fully implementing the driver’s intention. Although it is not as enjoyable to lift and lower gears in manual mode as to directly feed oil, on a curved mountain road, selecting the gear in advance can provide better protection for the power output when exiting the corner. If you want it, it should be better with a set of paddle shifters.

● Steering and handling that evokes driving desire

　　　The steering accuracy of the CX-5 is not as good as that of a single car, but more like that of a sports sedan. Coupled with a well-supported system, it is an SUV that will stimulate your driving desire. Mazda says the suspension of the domestic CX-5 has been adjusted for road conditions in China to make it more comfortable. The current suspension performance feels well-balanced, and the road bumps are partially filtered, which can also convey enough road information to the driver while ensuring basic comfort.

● Low fuel consumption is an important issue of Chuangchi’s blue sky concept, but unfortunately it was not tested this time

　　　When the imported CX-5 arrived at the newsroom, we tested its fuel consumption, and the final results were amazing. Under the premise that most road conditions are very congested, and the average speed is only 18km/h, the 2.0L four-wheel drive CX-5 achieved an amazing fuel consumption of 9.63L/100km. It is not an exaggeration to call it the most fuel-efficient compact SUV.

　　With the i-ELOOP, the fuel consumption of the top model is even more worth looking forward to. In this test drive session, we spent a lot of time driving in a very intense way along the way, and during still shooting, the vehicle inevitably needs to idle for a long time, so accurate fuel consumption data cannot be obtained. However, I really want to know if this powertrain will have sharp low fuel consumption like the 2.0L model. We all look forward to the test car coming to the editorial department soon.

　　How to take the call?

　　Someone else wants to get a share of the air-conditioning market. This time, it has been replaced by a Xiaomi ecological chain enterprise. How will Dong Mingzhu fight back?

　　On August 10, Zhimi Technology held a new product launch conference in Beijing and officially released its first new air conditioner, Zhimi Full DC Inverter Air Conditioning, priced at 4,399 yuan. The air conditioner model released this time is KFR-35GW/02ZM (M1), and the manufacturer is Sichuan Changhong Air Conditioning Co., Ltd., which directly refers to Gree’s main business.

　　Zhimi happens to be the ecological chain enterprise of Xiaomi, and now it is directly targeting Gree’s main business. This can’t help but make the outside world speculate that as Dong Mingzhu and Lei Jun 1 billion the deadline of the bet is getting closer and closer, the two seem to be becoming more and more hard, just like a master trick, the powerful tricks are often left to the end.

　　Interestingly, before the release of Zhimi Air Conditioning, Gree employees have been working overtime to insist on production, and Gree Electric Appliances will issue a high temperature subsidy of 1,000 yuan for all employees in the peak season. It is initially expected that Gree Electric Appliances will issue a total of over 80 million yuan in additional high temperature subsidies this time.

　　The Mystery of Zhimi’s Life Story

　　What is the relationship between Zhimi and Lei Jun? Let’s take a look at Xiaomi’s statement.

　　On the afternoon of August 10, Xiaomi employees gave the answer: Dear media bosses, the company that released new products such as air conditioners today is Zhimi, not Xiaomi. They are also a company with a valuation of 1 billion dollars…

　　Could it be that Zhimi is just an ecological chain enterprise of Xiaomi, and it is as simple as a cooperative relationship with Xiaomi rather than an affiliation? Xiaomi’s deliberate emphasis on ecological chain enterprises is to downplay that no matter what air conditioner is made, it has nothing to do with Dong Mingzhu and Lei Jun’s gambling game?

　　Went to pick up the development of Zhimi. Zhimi’s A round of financing was led by Lei Jun’s Shunwei Capital, and the company was valued at $250 million at that time. In 2016, Zhimi received a $50 million B round of financing led by GIC (Singapore Government Investment Corporation), and the valuation instantly soared to $1 billion.

　　It is worth noting that part of the sales of this air conditioner from Zhimi will still be included in Xiaomi’s revenue. Zhimi’s press conference mentioned that this air conditioner will be launched on the Mijia Youpin platform of Xiaomi’s boutique lifestyle e-commerce company. Xiaomi said that sales through Xiaomi channels will be included in Xiaomi’s revenue, but sales in other channels will not be included.

　　In addition, through the enterprise inquiry website, it can be found that there are currently only two shareholders of Zhimi Company, one is Su Jun, CEO of Zhimi Technology, who invests 5%. At the same time, Su Jun is also the person in charge of Xiaomi Air Purifier, and the other is Liu De, co-founder and vice president of Xiaomi Technology, who invests up to 95%.

　　The Xiaomi air purifier is the flagship of Xiaomi’s smart home products, and it is also the first product to detonate for home users. It has also been an important product at several Xiaomi conferences in the past.

　　Lei Jun was the first to enter Dong Mingzhu’s hinterland

　　Of course, regardless of the relationship between Zhimi and Xiaomi, many people choose this as another move between Lei Jun and Dong Mingzhu.

　　In 2013, at the CCTV Economic Person of the Year Awards Gala, Lei Jun made a bet to Dong Mingzhu, saying, "If Xiaomi can’t beat Gree in turnover within five years, it will lose to Dong Mingzhu by one dollar." Dong Mingzhu did not show weakness, directly contradicting Lei Jun’s views and implying that it is difficult for companies that only focus on marketing to thrive, and said, "Don’t mention it again for one dollar. If you want to bet, you can bet 1 billion yuan."

　　Lei Jun was the first to make a move. In December 2014, Midea Group announced that it had signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Xiaomi Technology. After the completion of the issuance of shares, Xiaomi Technology will hold 55 million shares of the company, accounting for 1.288% of the company’s total share capital after the issuance. Xiaomi can nominate one of its core senior management personnel as a director of Midea.

　　In fact, Xiaomi’s involvement in air conditioning is not just to gamble with Dong Mingzhu. The core of Xiaomi’s ecosystem is to control users’ end points through mobile phones and establish complete connections. Whether it is Xiaomi itself or the ecological chain enterprises, they are building a complete intelligent end point and service ecosystem around Xiaomi’s ecosystem in products and services.

　　"Big and complete" is Lei Jun’s desire and Xiaomi’s ultimate goal. From the current product line, Mijia products under Xiaomi’s ecological chain have covered all kinds of household appliances from kitchen to living room to bedroom. Air conditioners are still blank, but air conditioners are traditional household appliances, and the investment in production lines and personnel is far beyond what an Internet company can support. It is best to hand them over to ecological chain enterprises.

　　Investing in Midea was the first step to complete the product layout. Not long after the investment, on June 30, 2015, Xiaomi jointly held a media communication meeting with Midea and officially released the i Youth Smart Air Conditioning. However, the sales of this air conditioner were not as good as Lei Jun had imagined. It didn’t take long for the i Youth Smart Air Conditioning to be removed from the shelves of Xiaomi Mall.

　　At that time, when the media interviewed Dong Mingzhu, they asked about the cooperation between Xiaomi and Midea. She said: "I heard that Xiaomi and Midea have cooperated, and Dong Mingzhu is a little anxious. What am I anxious about? Midea’s patent court for stealing Gree ordered you to pay me two million. The two scammers are together, and they are a group of thieves. If one day you have more patents than me and your quality is better than mine, I’m really in a hurry. I have to change myself. I’m going to cheer."

　　In addition to the public opinion that Dong Mingzhu did not admit defeat, in terms of business, Gree began to move towards Xiaomi’s core mobile phone business.

　　Dong Mingzhu Gree mobile phone hits back at Xiaomi

　　In early January 2015, Dong Mingzhu said that "Gree makes mobile phones and destroys Xiaomi in minutes". Then in March, she said that Gree mobile phones will soon be listed. Until the shareholders’ meeting in June of that year, Dong Mingzhu also stressed that there should be no big problem in the future target 50 million department.

　　This scene made many people quite puzzled. What made the air conditioner maker run to make a mobile phone, and the mobile phone maker came to make an air conditioner instead?

　　When Gree mobile phone first came out, it attracted a lot of attention. As the leading player in the air-conditioning industry, it crossed the border into the red sea of competition for mobile phone manufacturers, and it was paired with Dong Mingzhu, a "fast-talking" Internet celebrity chairperson, who could be said to have attracted a lot of attention.

　　But for a long time after that, Gree mobile phones were limited to internal purchases, not only as an annual bonus for employees, but also as a reward for dealers.

　　In fact, Gree has released a total of 3 mobile phones, sales are not satisfactory. The first generation of Gree mobile phone sales are less than 100,000, the second generation of Gree mobile phone is still on sale has been listed for a year, online sales are only about 25,000, the third color world mobile phone listed this year, the official website sales show only about 8000.

　　In this way, the sales of Gree mobile phones are almost 2,000 times worse than Dong Mingzhu’s "small goal" of selling 50 million units a year. It seems that Dong Mingzhu wants to make mobile phones is not so easy.

　　Enter the air conditioner market for the second time with a makeover

　　I youth intelligent air conditioning did not let millet and Lei Jun give up, this time a makeover into the smart rice to enter the air conditioning market again, but allies replaced Changhong.

　　Why did Zhimi choose Changhong? It is reported that after the acquisition of Meiling, Changhong has a technical research and development team of more than 2,000 people, and has many patented technologies. For example, 0.1 degree subtle sensing technology, silent air duct technology, etc. Zhimi air conditioners find Changhong to OEM, at least to ensure that the technology is leading and the quality is guaranteed. Another important reason is that Changhong’s ranking in the field of air conditioners directly determines that Changhong will not abandon Zhimi like Midea did at the beginning.

　　On Changhong’s side, in 2015, Changhong’s financial report showed a huge loss of nearly 2 billion yuan, while the 2016 annual report showed that Changhong turned losses into profits and realized a net profit of 555 million yuan.

　　However, from the content of the annual report, it can be seen that the main reason for Changhong’s turnaround in 2016 was the operation of color TV, IT distribution, company operations, and capital. The annual report did not mention the air-conditioning business.

　　Simply put, what Zhimi needs is Changhong’s technical team, and Changhong needs the Xiaomi brand effect and Internet marketing thinking behind Zhimi. Neither of them means that anyone clings to each other, and the goal is to achieve a win-win situation.

　　Next, let’s see how Miss Dong takes the call.
