大家好,我是约翰•麦克罗伊,欢迎收看Autoline 中国,我们的节目将为您呈现汽车领域最重要最前沿的行业新技术。
SF汽车动力达1,000马力
我们首先看看来自SF汽车的电动车,它们称为SF5和SF7。它被戏称可能是一个CUV。SF说其电动车具有1,073马力和480公里的行驶范围。SF5将从明年开始销售。Martin Eberhard正在为其开发电池,而他就是特斯拉基于18650型电池的电池组开发人。我们认为其电动车前端总让人想起福特Fusion的新鼻子。SF汽车是一家中国企业,总部设在旧金山,在中国和美国设有制造工厂。
建设道路的新技术
装配线是汽车行业的主要产品,现在一家土耳其公司正在将这种方法应用于我们生产道路的方式。该公司Dahir Insaat首先将这项技术应用于房屋建筑中,使用通用墙板进行浇筑施工,现在他们将要把这个思路应用于道路施工。一台巨大的慢速滚动机器将应对大部分工作。先将可夯实地面的13根大擀面杖放在前面。然后放下通过后面卡车送入机器的基础材料层。接下来,将整行水泥拼图块放置在基材上。这些块被装入机器的后部,并与一组带有吸盘的机器人臂拼接在一起。通过这种方式,机器能够保持不变的运动,并且整个过程只是一遍又一遍地重复。一旦它运行足够远的距离,最后的面漆就已经准备好放置在水泥块的顶部。这确实是一种独特的道路制作方法。
接下来继续……来看一看一家正在将车对车技术应用于赛车的公司。
新的CONTI系统检测水力喷射
自动驾驶汽车将需要能够应对自然界可能出现的几乎所有情况,而现在大陆集团的供应商正在专注于打滑这一状况。打滑会导致特定的飞溅和喷射模式从轮胎脱落,而环绕视角摄像头会检测这些为打滑状况,并向驾驶员发出警告。此外,当轮胎前方积聚过多的水时,大陆集团的轮胎安装传感器会产生特征信号。而当车辆已开始严重打滑,大陆集团正在研究通过单个车轮制动的扭矩矢量来稳定它。如果它是连接的车辆,系统可以警告其他司机该危险路况。
公司将V2V技术应用于赛车
联网汽车有可能使驾驶更加安全,而我们已经看到了多种道路车辆解决方案,一家电子公司正在将这项技术应用于赛道。汽车对一切(V2X)通信领域的领导者Autotalks刚刚在以色列赛道完成了一项测试,许多汽车配备了其V2V技术。如果驾驶员遇到危险的情况,例如碰撞或意外减速的汽车,驾驶员会听到方向盘上闪烁的黄灯闪烁,并伴有蜂鸣声。通过展示其技术如何在赛道等恶劣环境中发挥作用,Autotalks希望为驾驶员提供即时警报,以此减少职业和业余赛车的伤病甚至死亡人数。
接下来我们将探讨,我会与您分享我对中国电动汽车所取得的进步的看法。
中国主导全球电力客车市场
中国汽车制造商想要主导电动汽车市场,并且他们已在城市公交车上已经实现了这一目标。在全球38.5万辆电动公交车中,99%在中国或由中国公司制造。
与此同时,每五周,中国街道上就会增加9,500辆新电动公交车。这就像增加一个与英国伦敦所有公共汽车一样大的车队。
彭博社报道称,这些电动客车将免去每天279,000桶石油的需求。这与希腊这个小国每天使用的石油量相同。这就是为什么电动公交车对石油需求造成影响的原因。
那今天的节目到这里就结束了。感谢您收看Autoline中国。
Hello, I’m John McElroy, welcome to Autoline China, the show that covers some of the most important new technologies in the automotive industry.
SF MOTORS TOUTS 1,000 HP
We’re getting a first look at the electric cars coming from SF Motors, called the SF5 and SF7. It’s also teasing what could be a CUV. SF says they have 1,073 horsepower and 480 kilometers of range. The SF5 goes on sale next year. The batteries are being developed by Martin Eberhard who developed Tesla’s battery pack based on 18650-type batteries. We think the front end is reminiscent of the new nose going on the Ford Fusion. SF Motors is a Chinese-owned company, with headquarters in San Francisco and manufacturing plants in China and the U.S.
NEW TECHNIQUE TO BUILD ROADS
The assembly line is a staple of the automotive industry and now a Turkish company is applying the method to the way we produce roads. The company, Dahir Insaat, first applied the technique, called cast-in place construction in house building using a universal wall panel, but its adapted the thinking to road making. A giant, slow rolling machine handles most of the work. 13 large rolling pins, likely to tamp down the ground, sit at the front. A base layer of material, which is fed to the machine via trucks at the back, is then laid down. Next an entire row of cement puzzle-like blocks is laid over the base material. The blocks are loaded into the back of the machine and pieced together with a set of robot arms with suction cups on the end. This way the machine is able to stay in constant motion and the process just repeats itself over and over. And once it gets far enough along, a final top coat is ready to be put over top of the blocks. It really is a unique approach to road making.
Still to come…a look at a company that’s applying vehicle-to-vehicle technology to race cars.
NEW CONTI SYSTEM DETECTS HYDROPLANING
Autonomous vehicles will need to be able to handle almost any condition Nature can throw their way and now the supplier Continental is focusing on hydroplaning. The condition causes a specific splash and spray pattern to come off the tires, which surround view cameras may be able detect as hydroplaning and send a warning to the driver. Also, Continental’s tire mounted sensors produce a characteristic signal when excessive water builds up in front of the tire. But if the vehicle does start to hydroplane, Continental is looking at torque vectoring by individual wheel braking as a way to stabilize it. And if it’s a connected vehicle, the system can warn other drivers of the road conditions.
COMPANY APPLIES V2V TECHNOLOGY TO RACING
Connected vehicles have the potential to make driving much safer and while we’ve seen a number of solutions for road-going vehicles, an electronics company is now taking the technology to the race track. Autotalks, a leader in Vehicle-to-Everything or V2X communication, just completed a test at a racetrack in Israel that saw a number of cars equipped with its V2V technology. Drivers are alerted by a flashing set of yellow lights on the steering wheel, along with a buzzer-sound, if they are approaching a dangerous situation, like a crash or a car that’s unexpectedly slowed down. By showing how its technology can function in a harsh environment like a racetrack, Autotalks hopes providing drivers with an instant warning will cut down on injuries and possibly even fatalities for both professional and amateur racing.
Coming up next…I’ll give you my insight on the progress China is making with electric vehicles.
CHINA DOMINATES GLOBAL ELECTRIC BUS MARKET
Chinese automakers want to dominate the market for electric vehicles and they’ve already achieved that goal when it comes to city busses. Of the 385,000 electric busses in the world, 99% are in China or were made by Chinese companies.
And get this. China is adding 9,500 new electric busses on its streets every five weeks. That’s like adding a fleet as large as all the busses in London, England.
Bloomberg reports these electric busses will eliminate the need for 279,000 barrels of oil a day. That’s about the same amount of oil that a small country like Greece uses every day. And that’s why electric busses a putting a dent in the demand for oil.
But that wraps up today’s report, thanks for watching Autoline China.
