  "What factors do you think a livable city should include in terms of ecological environment?" This is a topic in the questionnaire survey of "China Modern Ecological Development Index". The survey results of "2023 China Modern Ecological Development Index" show that "fresh air" ranks first among the eight elements of an ecologically livable city in the eyes of Chinese people, and nearly 90% of the respondents chose this option.

  However, reality often makes people feel helpless. Because, the dust is coming again!

  From May 18 to 20, a new round of sand blowing or floating dust was ushered in parts of eastern and southern Xinjiang, central and western Inner Mongolia, northern Gansu, northern Ningxia, northwestern Shaanxi, northwestern Shanxi and northwestern Hebei, and even sandstorms appeared in central Inner Mongolia. It is reported that at 16: 43 on May 18, a strong sandstorm occurred at Saiwusu Airport in Erenhot, Inner Mongolia, with an instantaneous wind speed of 27 m/s and visibility of only 150 m. The rolling yellow sand was like a giant "sand wall".

  According to the three major action plans for air pollution control, the goal of basically eliminating heavy pollution days nationwide in 2025 is to control it within 1%, including eliminating such dusty weather. Dust is a common meteorological disaster. Because of the existence of natural desert, sandstorm, as a natural process and phenomenon, is difficult to be eliminated, but desertification land management can effectively reduce the frequency and intensity of sandstorm. Since the beginning of this century, China has implemented a series of ecological restoration projects. The results of the sixth national survey on desertification and desertification show that for the first time, China has achieved a "double reversal" of desertification and desertified land in all provinces surveyed, with a continuous "double reduction" in area and a continuous "double reduction" in degree, and a continuous "double improvement" in vegetation coverage and carbon sequestration capacity of deserts and sandy land. However, desertification control in China still has a long way to go. As of 2019, the area of desertification land in China is 2,573,700 square kilometers, accounting for 26.81% of the country’s land area; Desertification land covers an area of 1,687,800 square kilometers, accounting for 17.58% of the national territory; The land area with obvious desertification trend is 279,200 square kilometers, accounting for 2.91% of the national territory. According to official data, the cumulative number of dust storms from January to May is 11.9 times all the year round, but it is obviously higher this year, reaching 14 times as of May 20th.

  The frequent occurrence of dust and sand once again sounded the alarm of ecological security for people.

  Compared with air quality, water pollution is more worrying.

  From April to May, 2023, Xiaokang magazine, in conjunction with the National Information Center, and together with relevant experts and institutions, conducted a survey on "2023 China Modern Ecological Development Index". "China Modern Ecological Development Index" was born out of "China Ecological Well-off Index", followed the objective situation and development trend of the times, and was updated and perfected. It was mainly measured from five aspects: the public’s evaluation of the surrounding environment, the evaluation of China’s ecological environmental protection policies, laws and regulations, the recognition of government investment, implementation and efficiency in environmental protection, the self-evaluation of environmental awareness and participation, and the expectation of ecological environmental protection prospects.

  After weighting the survey results and the statistical monitoring data of relevant state departments, it is concluded that the modern ecological development index of China in 2023 is 72.1 points, 2.0 points higher than the previous year. Among them, the evaluation of the surrounding environment, the evaluation of China’s eco-environmental protection policies, laws and regulations, the recognition of government investment, implementation and efficiency in environmental protection, and the self-evaluation of environmental awareness and participation are 68.7 points, 73.0 points, 71.2 points, 71.4 points and 83.6 points, respectively, which are 1.8 points, 1.7 points, 1.8 points and 83.6 points higher than the previous year.

  Strengthening the prevention and control of air pollution is the common aspiration of the whole society. With the implementation of the Air Pollution Prevention Action Plan and the Three-year Action Plan to Win the Blue Sky Defence War, China’s air quality has been greatly improved since 2013. In the past ten years, China’s GDP has increased by 69%, the concentration of PM2.5 has decreased by 57%, achieving ten consecutive declines, the number of days of heavy pollution has decreased by 92%, and the concentration of sulfur dioxide has dropped to single digits; The national emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides dropped from more than 20 million tons to about 3 million tons and 9 million tons, respectively, down by 85% and 60%.

  However, as Liu Bingjiang, director of the Atmospheric Environment Department of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, said at the regular press conference held by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment in March, "the improvement effect is still not stable." Especially this year, with the comprehensive recovery of economic and social activities, the increase of emissions, and the impact of climate change, the air quality situation is not optimistic. Not only have there been 14 rounds of large-scale dusty weather, but ozone pollution has also appeared in Jinan and Zhengzhou.

  This is also reflected in the "2023 China Modern Ecological Development Index" survey. Facing "What do you think of the air quality in your city?" On this issue, 51.4% of the respondents thought it was "relatively good" and 12.5% of the respondents bluntly said it was "very good", making a total of 63.9%, a decrease of 0.1 percentage point over the previous year. Respondents who thought it was "relatively poor" accounted for 10.8%, and those who bluntly said it was "very poor" accounted for 1.4%, making a total of 12.2%, a decrease of 2.0 percentage points over the previous year. In addition, 23.9% of the respondents rated it as "average", an increase of 2.1 percentage points over the previous year.

  However, water pollution and soil pollution are more worrying than air pollution. In this year’s "List of Pollution Types that Seriously Threaten the Public", "Water Pollution" topped the list, and 47.3% of the respondents said that they were being threatened by water pollution. "Soil pollution" surpassed "air pollution" for the first time, ranking second, with a vote rate of 30.8%.

  Water is the source of life and the starting point of ecological civilization construction. The survey results of "2023 China Modern Ecological Development Index" show that 59.3% of the respondents rated the water quality of daily water (tap water, accumulated water, etc.) as "average", 13.4% as "poor", 2.6% as "very poor", and only 24.7% of the respondents gave a positive evaluation, less than a quarter. However, the evaluation of the natural water bodies (streams, rivers, lakes and seas) in the city is not optimistic, with less than 20% respondents giving positive comments, 26.5% respondents thinking that they are "poor" and "very poor", and 54.7% respondents evaluating them as "average".

  In fact, in the first half of this year, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment also said in response to a reporter’s question that China’s water ecological environment protection has undergone a major turning point, but the structural, root and trend pressures faced by water ecological environment protection have not been fundamentally alleviated, the imbalance and uncoordinated improvement of water environmental quality is prominent, the ecological water supply for rivers and lakes is insufficient, the water ecological damage is prominent, and the water ecological environment risk is still high, which is still far from the requirements of beautiful China construction.

  Seven difficult problems of environmental governance, strengthening supervision and consolidating responsibility

  Continuing the convention, the "2023 China Modern Ecological Development Index" survey asked the respondents to select seven difficult problems in China’s environmental governance work again. The first one is "enterprises only care about their own economic interests and lack social responsibility" (36.0%), the second one is "local governments are driven by interests and lack of implementation" (31.3%), and the third one is "public environmental awareness is insufficient". The fourth to seventh places are "China’s industrial structure is unreasonable, and the proportion of heavy industrial enterprises with high energy consumption is too large" (24.6%), "lack of relevant laws and regulations" (21.9%), "the development idea of" pollution first, then treatment "still exists" (18.3%) and "limited power of environmental protection departments" (5.2%).

  It can be seen that it is still an important task for China to realize the modernization of national governance system and governance capacity to accelerate the construction of a modern environmental governance system with the leadership of party committees, government-led, enterprise subjects, social organizations and the public participating together.

  At the end of 2022 and the beginning of 2023, an 11-day New Year’s haze occurred in China, concentrated in Shaanxi and Henan. The Ministry of Ecology and Environment launched an emergency plan for heavy pollution, but the effect was not satisfactory. In order to find out, Huang Runqiu, Minister of Ecology and Environment, and Zhao Yingmin, Vice Minister of Ecology and Environment, went to 13 enterprises in Henan and Shaanxi to carry out inspections in the way of "four noes and two straights" from February 20 to 22, and found that there were a lot of outstanding environmental violations such as abnormal operation of pollution control facilities, illegal discharge, fraudulent production accounts, online monitoring and manual monitoring.

  Frequent corporate environmental violations have fully exposed the shortcomings and weaknesses in China’s current environmental governance. First, some enterprises ignore the law and break through the bottom line. Second, in some places, the determination to tackle pollution is insufficient and the tenacity is insufficient. Third, the ecological environment supervision in some places is superficial and weak.

  Only by implementing the strictest system and the strictest rule of law can we provide a reliable guarantee for the construction of ecological civilization. A few days ago, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment completed the revision of the original Measures for Environmental Administrative Punishment, and issued the newly revised Measures for Ecological Environmental Administrative Punishment, making adjustments in the types of punishment, time limit, authority, procedures and law enforcement methods, responding to new changes in the reform process and new problems that need to be solved urgently in local areas, and ensuring that the law enforcement team of ecological environment strictly regulates and carries out law enforcement activities according to law.

  In addition, the red line system of ecological protection is an important institutional innovation of ecological environmental protection in China, which provides a brand-new ecological protection model. The latest news shows that at present, the national ecological protection red line has been delineated and released. The following question is how to protect, use and implement the red line of ecological protection.

  Keeping the red line of ecological protection and building an ecological security barrier need to be implemented steadily from multiple angles, and arousing public awareness of environmental protection is one of the important tasks. The survey of "2023 China Modern Ecological Development Index" shows that the public’s awareness of environmental protection needs to be further improved, and 75% of the respondents are willing to change their lifestyles that are contrary to environmental protection for environmental protection, which is 11.9 percentage points lower than the previous year.

Mary Zhang Xinyi and "Shan Yao" dueled Hua Chenyu to catch a giant fish of half a meter.

  Beijing, August 5 (Xinhua)-The ninth program of the Star Travel Experience Variety Show "Patterns of Journey" of Oriental TV will be broadcast at 22: 00 on August 5. This week, the "flower tour group" bid farewell to Russia and came to Norway to continue the task of experiencing the wish list for netizens.

  In the program, Gina suddenly felt unwell during the skydiving challenge and was sent to the hospital for examination, leaving only Lin Chi-ling to continue to complete this bold extreme challenge. Aarif Lee and Hua Chenyu, together with Zhang Xinyi, Mary and newly-joined Qiao Xin, entered the Norwegian forest to explore the legendary "Shan Yao". During the exploration, everyone unexpectedly became friends with Norwegian children who were outdoors. Zhang Xinyi and Mary crossed the language limit and enthusiastically sang children’s songs with them. Hua Chenyu’s initiative to please Shy boy was rejected by the other side. Finally, in the depths of the mysterious forest, people found the mysterious building that Zhang Xinyi and Mary couldn’t help screaming. What’s the mystery?

  Hua Chenyu and Qiao Xin turned into "fishing up" and fished out a half-meter "fish god".

  In the public’s impression, if you want to fish, you need a fishing rod, a hook and a bait. Otherwise, it will be Jiang Taigong’s fishing, and you can only take the bait if you wish. However, in this program, Aarif Lee used his own minimalist fishing method to complete the fishing challenge with only a fishing line and hook in his hand, which amazed Hua Chenyu and Qiao Xin.

  At first, Aarif Lee wanted to show his fishing skills with a professional fishing rod. However, just after the preparation, Hua Chenyu and Bridgette, two "fishing whites", were attracted by this novelty activity and said that they would participate together. However, in the hands of two "fishing whites", the fishing rod and fishing line were always cut and disordered. Finally, Aarif Lee simply removed the fishing line and grabbed it directly with his hands, and developed a very simple "line-holding fishing method". Surprisingly, not long after Aarif Lee put the hook into the water, fish were hooked immediately, and the record of almost "second fishing" shocked Hua Chenyu and Bridgette who were still struggling with the boom.

  After that, Hua Chenyu and Bridgette followed suit decisively and gained a lot. Not only did Bridgette catch a big fish bigger than Aarif Lee’s prey, but Hua Chenyu caught a big flat fish which was said to be very expensive and delicious by long line, and finally even caught a "fish god" who was more than half a meter long and seemed to be "refined". During the take-up process, the "Fish God" kept fluttering in the water, which made Hua Chenyu on the shore somewhat unstable. Can he successfully handle the "Fish God"?

  Hua Chenyu was "disgusted" by Meng Wa, and Zhang Xinyi and Mary were crazy about children’s songs.

  In addition to fishing in the water, the "Flower Group" also has an important task to find the "Shan Yao" in the Norwegian forest for netizens. It is said that these "Shan Yao" are the archetypes of the dwarfs in Snow White. However, walking into the vast Norwegian forest, before Shan Yao was found, the "Flower Troupe" became friends with a group of Norwegian children.

  In the program, the "Flower Troupe" met Norwegian children who followed the teacher out for a picnic in the forest. Although the average age of these children is only five or six years old, they have begun to learn to take care of themselves and even cook food. In the face of the exotic "Flower Troupe", the children did not think that make a fool of oneself took the initiative to share food. Zhang Xinyi and Mary were amazed by their independent personality. At the scene, the two people enthusiastically sang songs with Norwegian children by relying on the world-wide children’s songs such as Little Star, and the happy picture was quite warm.

  As the "Prince of Music" in the "Flower Troupe", Hua Chenyu also tried to communicate with a Norwegian boy who is very similar to himself with his guitar. As a result, the shy boy was ungrateful and kept avoiding it. But this aroused Hua Chenyu’s fighting spirit, and he kept chasing the little boy to perform and wanted to infect each other with music. Can Hua Chenyu’s music impress the little boy? Can the "Flower Troupe" find the legendary "Shan Yao"? More exciting, please look forward to Oriental TV’s "Travel Patterns" at 22: 00 on August 5.

Completed Porsche Taycan? HiPhi Z from 600,000

When it comes to high-end cars, the first word that comes to mind is probably "high-end". After all, the first model, high-end HiPhi X, is too impressive. And on July 5, high-end’s second model, high-end HiPhi Z, has also started blind ordering.

Let’s say that in recent May, the existing HiPhi X with 369 vehicles delivery results, more than Mercedes-Benz EQC, Porsche Taycan, in the luxury pure electric market segment above the 500,000 top, as a new power brand, HiPhi X models delivered its first anniversary, this car occupied a quarter of the market share of more than 500,000 luxury pure electric products.

So the price range of the next new product HiPhi Z is 60-800,000 yuan, can it continue the glory of the previous work? From the official information, this car is defined as a new concept GT, and the design of HiPhi Z is inspired by space, digital life and multi-dimensional sensory experience, which sounds very "three-body". However, seeing the appearance of the real car, it is indeed 95% similar to the previous modeling promotional picture.

The front of the HiPhi Z is designed to be closed, while the air intake grille is designed to be breathable scales. The irregular headlights on both sides are similar to the HiPhi X, and the shape is more futuristic than the HiPhi X. It seems that cars that advertise a sense of technology like to make a fuss about the lights. This HiPhi Z has a digital matrix light effect and has been innovated on the light group, turning it into an "LCD screen". Owners can customize the light group according to their own preferences.

Like the HiPhi X, there is no door handle on the side of the HiPhi Z, and the door can be opened with a button, which seems to be the standard of electric vehicles. In terms of interior, the steering wheel and seats are made of holographic Symphony NAPPA leather, while the door panel is a light strip combined with suede material and ambient lights. When you turn on the interior lights, play music, and the colors will follow the music.

It is worth mentioning that the HiPhi Z has cancelled the traditional instrument panel design and replaced it with a HUD + central control screen. And this central control screen is very flexible, it can move, rotate, nod, and shake.

And it has a multi-axis robotic arm, which can automatically turn the central control screen to the appropriate angle and position according to the situation in the car. To a certain extent, it looks like a "mobile phone stabilizer" to me.

Since it is a new energy electric vehicle, the HiPhi Z has powerful digital intelligence. Under the invisible vehicle nervous system, it is the super electronic and electrical architecture of the HiPhi Z – H-SOA. Its HiPhi Bot can be expressed more humanely, creating any scene by mobilizing the combination of ambient lights, sound, fragrance, etc.

In addition, in terms of intelligent driver assistance perception, the HiPhi Z comes standard with * 32 driver assistance sensors. And according to the released information, the HiPhi Z is equipped with a 120kWh power battery, and the comprehensive battery life under CLTC conditions reaches 705km. The price range is 60-800,000 yuan, and it will be officially launched in August. (* 1 lidar, 13 cameras, 5 millimeter wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars and 1 three-zone hands-off detection sensor)

It can be seen that the design of the appearance and interior of Gahe’s products is relatively bold. From the HiPhi Z, it can be seen that its benchmark is the Porsche Taycan, which is also a high-end electric model. The Porsche Taycan is relatively conservative in human-machine interaction.

However, the actual experience of the HiPhi Z car will not be known until it is delivered to the owner. But does this handsome appearance fit your fantasy of future cars?

The first batch of Envision across the ocean to the United States "made in China" to rescue Buick’s US market

Every editor, every reporter, Liu Weiyan

On December 27, with the sound of a loud whistle in the port of Yantai in Shandong Province, 100 Duo Envision vehicles were loaded onto ships and shipped out of the port. These are also the first "Chinese-made" Buick Envision vehicles to be sold in North America.

"About 100 vehicles have been shipped to North America this time," Wang Yongqing, general manager of SAIC-GM, said in an interview with the Daily Economic News. "This is the first time that SAIC-GM has shipped a Chinese-made model to North America."

The Envision exports to the North American market, including the United States, which will boost Buick’s sales in the United States. According to data released by General Motors, GM sold a total of 229,200 new cars in the United States in November, an increase of 1.5% year-on-year; but Buick brand sales in November fell by 16.6% year-on-year, with a total of 15,960 new cars sold. In the first three quarters of this year, Buick brand sold 167,700 vehicles in the United States, down 1.8% from 170,800 vehicles in the same period last year.

It is worth noting that, like the Chinese market, SUVs have successfully become an important pillar of Buick’s sales in the North American market. According to SAIC General Motors, 60% of Buick’s sales in North America come from SUV products. The Buick Envision exported to North America this time is equipped with a 2.0T SIDI direct injection turbocharged engine and does not have a 1.5T model.

"But in the US market, there is no SUV of the size of the Envision. US dealers believe that after the Envision enters the US, it will also usher in better sales performance." Earlier, the relevant person in charge of GM (China) said.

However, Wang Yongqing is still more cautious about Envision’s sales expectations in the United States. "The future sales plan of Envision in the United States still needs to be further negotiated and confirmed with GM."

Envision’s exports to the United States will not only help boost Buick’s sales in the United States, but also serve as an important testament to the Buick brand’s greater reliance on the Chinese market.

On December 27, on the day when more than 100 Envision vehicles set off for the United States, Buick brand sales in China this year have exceeded one million vehicles. With the contribution of sales in the Chinese market, Buick’s global sales this year have reached 1.20 million vehicles.

It is understood that this year, the market in our country is generally cooling down, many brands in China sales targets are facing challenges, Buick brand sales are rising against the trend. According to the data of the Passenger Federation, the Buick brand sold 907,300 vehicles in the first 11 months of this year, an increase of 10.28% year-on-year. In contrast, in the first 11 months of this year, Volkswagen brand sales in China fell 5.1% year-on-year, and Hyundai brand fell 6.87% year-on-year.

Buick brand sales are not unrelated to the Envision. In the first 11 months of this year, Buick brand in China a number of cars, MPV models GL8, and SUV Oncola sales decline trend, the Envision listed at the end of October last year, this year’s sales are increasing month by month, of which November sales have exceeded 20,000, reaching 21,600, an increase of 217.3% year-on-year. At the same time, this year’s new Yinglang, Valeant has become one of the main models of Buick brand sales.

Some analysts believe that next year, as Buick ushers in a new year of products, the introduction of 3-4 new models will further increase sales, and China’s strategic significance for the global development of the Buick brand will become more prominent in the future.

How about Trumpchi New Energy E8? See what real car owners have to say

As major OEMs gradually began to make efforts in the field of home use, the market segment has indeed changed from the blue ocean market to the red ocean market. More and more consumers are beginning to prefer home models rather than traditional cars or models when choosing family cars. It is not difficult to find from the word-of-mouth and scoring systems of netizens that Trumpchi’s new energy E8 can be described as a double harvest of word-of-mouth sales, and is gradually becoming the new favorite of the current home market.

TA said: Why do I recommend Trumpchi New Energy E8 more than Hybrid?

I may be one of the few, long-term mixed driving Trumpchi new energy E8 and hybrid Odyssey real car owners. A few years ago, I did a small business and needed one, but there were not many options at that time, only a few. After using it for a few years, I found that it was competent as a family car, and even performed better in some aspects. Coupled with the small improvement in business, I also had the idea of adding another household car, and finally chose the Trumpchi new energy E8.

Compared to the Hybrid Odyssey, I think the most significant advantage of the Trumpchi new energy E8 is the change brought about by the large-capacity battery, which can not only get the green card, but also has a pure electric endurance of 150 kilometers, which is not available in the Hybrid Odyssey.

Businesspeople, cost saving is a professional habit, right? 150 kilometers of pure electric battery life, according to the rhythm of my car, basically two or three days without burning oil, just drive as a pure electric car, and the commuting cost is very low.

When I came back from other places a few years ago and was stuck on the highway for a few hours, the electric drive air conditioner was not distressed at all. There was no exhaust, no vibration, and there was no need to worry that the idling air conditioner of the fuel vehicle might accumulate carbon, block the particle trap, or consume electricity to lose mileage. During those hours, the warm air consumption may be less than 10 degrees, and it will slowly fill up after running, which will have little impact on the battery life.

Furthermore, when running at high speed, the large-capacity battery of the Trumpchi New Energy E8 can provide greater output power, and the re-acceleration ability in parallel mode is very strong. It will not cause the embarrassment of the previous hybrid Odyssey high-speed dry roar without running, so that after buying this Trumpchi New Energy E8, I don’t want to use the hybrid Odyssey to run at high speed at all.

There is another function that suits my appetite, that is, the Trumpchi new energy E8 supports external power discharge. I usually like to go out for outings or camping in my spare time. Before, I had to bring an outdoor power supply, but now I don’t need it at all. It’s very convenient to cook a meal and make a coffee and connect the power directly from the car.

Speaking of the Odyssey car, although it has a good reputation, it is also a technical foundation ten years ago, so I still recommend the Trumpchi new energy E8.

TA said: More than 40 cents a kilometer, Trumpchi New Energy E8 is really fragrant

When I bought it, I was torn between the Trumpchi New Energy E8 and the Hybrid Odyssey. Later, I did a detailed comparison homework based on my actual car needs. Finally, there are two reasons for choosing the Trumpchi New Energy E8. First, the Trumpchi New Energy E8 can better meet household needs in terms of power, battery life, fuel consumption, etc., but the configuration level and active and passive safety are more cost-effective, especially in terms of safety. The Odyssey is indeed relatively old, and it does not have an advantage compared to the current new products.

WeChat screenshot _20240222152239

After a few months of use, I feel that I did not choose the wrong one. At a speed of 60 kilometers per hour on urban roads, the Trumpchi New Energy E8 has excellent body quietness during pure electric battery life, and the use experience is almost indistinguishable from that of a pure electric car. In the direct-drive mode of high-speed operating conditions, the noise control in the car is also very ideal. After deeply stepping on the accelerator, there is little hesitation in switching to the parallel mode. The power is very abundant, and the overtaking can be completed smoothly with just one foot of the accelerator. The entire process of changing lanes and returning to lanes is very silky, without any drag.

WeChat screenshot _20240222152101

Up to now, urban roads are basically pure electric driving, calculated at an average of one dollar per kilowatt hour, commuting is quite cost-effective, only two Meizhou one-way 240 kilometers of expressway, the total mileage back and forth is about 1000 kilometers, full of oil and full of electricity, the comprehensive fuel consumption is measured to be about 6.2 liters, and 92 gasoline can be added, which is equivalent to more than 40 cents a kilometer, which is really fragrant. 1000 kilometers consume a total of about 400 yuan in fuel, and the toll is even 600 yuan.

With a comprehensive battery life of 1200 kilometers, how did Trumpchi New Energy E8 achieve it?

In terms of power, the system of Trumpchi New Energy E8 is composed of an Atkinson cycle 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and a front motor. The maximum engine power is 103 kW, the peak torque is 180 Nm, and the maximum motor power is 134 kW and the peak torque is 300 Nm.

The transmission is matched with a 2-speed DHT hybrid special gearbox, and the battery pack is equipped with a 25.57kW · h magazine. The CLTC operating condition has a pure electric cruising range of up to 150 kilometers, a full oil and full power comprehensive cruising range of up to 1200 kilometers, and the WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption is as low as 1.13L.

QQ screenshot 20240220172528

From the data, it is not difficult to see that the exaggerated 1200-kilometer comprehensive cruising range of the Trumpchi new energy E8 is not at the expense of power performance. On the contrary, this parameter is very effective among models of the same level.

The reason why Trumpchi’s new energy E8 can achieve a balance between performance and energy consumption is due to the power-based working logic of this P1 + P3 plug-in system.

QQ screenshot 20240220172714

In simple terms, in the high-load stage of the engine at low speed, the better motor plays the leading role. When entering the cruising sweet zone where the fuel engine is directly driven, the 40-kilometer-per-hour speed enters first gear and the 75-kilometer-per-hour speed enters second gear, directly guiding the fuel engine into the high-efficiency range. Moreover, with the support of large-capacity batteries, the P3 motor’s auxiliary ability when connected in parallel is more direct, and even more violent than when the turbine intervenes.

To put it more simply, in the ideal state of both running and not eating grass, the Trumpchi New Energy E8 has basically reached the standard, so it has also been exchanged for a comprehensive battery life of 1200 kilometers.

QQ screenshot 20240220172729

In contrast, a hybrid Odyssey with similar capabilities is also a typical P1 + P3 system, but the difference is that the hybrid Odyssey has less than 2 degrees of battery capacity and relies heavily on the engine for power generation. Whether it is direct drive or power generation, the engine will generate energy as long as it runs, and the role it can play when connected in parallel is quite limited, especially when high-speed overtaking requires parallel reacceleration.

QQ screenshot 20240220173714

Therefore, although the Honda i-MMD hybrid system is also one of the best solutions for saving energy, it is also true that low-speed charging consumes energy and high-speed parallel connection is weak. When it comes to commuting and high-speed overtaking, the hybrid Odyssey has its inherent shortcomings compared to the plug-in Trumpchi new energy E8.

In the past, the market was seriously disrupted. The mid-to-high end focused more on ride comfort and luxury texture to enhance business attributes, while the low end mostly focused on tool attributes based on space and load-bearing advantages. For a long time, there was a relative shortage of real IKEA, because few models could maintain a luxurious driving texture while balancing fuel consumption performance. The Trumpchi new energy E8 with a plug-in hybrid architecture solved this contradiction very well and became the most worthwhile household model to buy at the moment.

It is worth mentioning that the current Trumpchi New Energy E8 Year of the Dragon Edition has been listed, and there are also Trumpchi New Year 10 billion red envelopes, which can be reduced by 5888 yuan for the New Year version and 1888 yuan for other versions. The preferential margin is also a plus for the current Trumpchi New Energy E8.

One-week auto market (10.23-10.29), international major manufacturers have invested in new forces, and GAC Mitsubishi has continued to provide services.

Looking back on the auto market in a week, what happened in China auto market in the past week? Stellantis invested 1.5 billion euros to get a 20% stake in Zero Run; Guangzhou Automobile Mitsubishi reorganized and will always provide superior services for car owners; Invited by Tesla to build a factory in Mexico? Wo Sai: No final decision has been made; "Hua" is the new flagship of the car, and the number of M9 bookings in the world has exceeded 15,000; It is ideal to issue "Hancheng Expressway Accident Description" to explain "the problem of out-of-control vehicles".

Stellantis invested 1.5 billion euros to get a 20% stake in Zero Run.

On October 26th, Stellantis Group and Zero Run Automobile announced that Stellantis Group plans to invest about 1.5 billion euros to acquire about 20% equity of Zero Run Automobile, which will make Stellantis Group an important shareholder of Zero Run Automobile.

The transaction also confirmed that Stellantis Group and Zero Run Automobile will set up a joint venture company named "Leapmotor International" at a ratio of 51%:49%. Except for Greater China, the joint venture company has the exclusive right to export and sell to all other markets in the world, as well as the exclusive right to manufacture zero-run automobile products locally.

Stellantis Group will have two seats on the board of directors of Zero Run Automobile, and Stellantis Group will appoint the CEO of the "Zero Run International" joint venture company.

According to reports, the partnership between the two parties will not only focus on further increasing the sales of zero-run cars in China, the world’s largest automobile market, but also rely on the mature commercial layout of Stellantis Group in other markets around the world to greatly increase the sales of zero-run car brands in the local market, which is expected to start with the European market.

It’s not the first time that international manufacturers have invested in China’s new forces. Not long ago, Tucki won the public’s investment. This series shows that China’s new power brand is new, but it has been highly recognized by international peers in the field of new energy vehicles. Although the cooperation between Zero Run and Stellantis focuses on overseas, it also creates a new mode of "going out to sea" for car companies.

GAC Mitsubishi will always provide superior services for car owners.

On October 24, Guangzhou Automobile Group issued an announcement, intending to implement restructuring matters such as equity adjustment for Guangzhou Automobile Mitsubishi and Guangzhou Automobile Mitsubishi Automobile Sales Company. After the completion of the reorganization, GAC Mitsubishi will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of GAC Group, and GAC Ai ‘an will use GAC Mitsubishi Factory to increase production and expand capacity. It is planned to achieve mass production in June 2024. After completion, GAC Ai ‘an will form a basic production capacity of 600,000/year, helping Ai ‘an achieve the goal of production and sales of 1 million in 2025.

In addition, GAC Mitsubishi Automobile Sales Company will be jointly owned by GAC Group, Mitsubishi Motors and Mitsubishi Corporation, and will continue to provide spare parts and after-sales service for GAC Mitsubishi car owners.

GAC Mitsubishi is not the first joint venture brand to leave the China market, but it is the first one as "decent" as it left. After withdrawing from the China market, GAC Mitsubishi is still willing to continue to provide after-sales service for the old owners of GAC Mitsubishi, which is beyond the comparison of some "new forces".

Tesla invites lidar manufacturers to go to sea.

On October 23rd, some media reported that Samuel Garcia, governor of Nuevo Leó n, Mexico, said during his trip that Tesla’s two China suppliers would invest nearly $1 billion in Nuevo Leó n, northern Mexico, and Tesla was planning to build a new factory there. According to media reports, the two proposed factories are Topp Group and Hesai Group.

Hesse Technology said that the news was not released by Hesse, and the company "has not yet made a final decision" to build a new factory in North America. The other party said that it did not know whether the laser radar of Hesai Technology was supplied to Tesla cars or humanoid robots.

In March of this year, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that Tesla will build a super factory in Nuevo Leó n, northern Mexico, and this factory will be used to produce Tesla’s next-generation models, which is an important part of the company’s expansion of global layout.

Adopting a complete vision scheme is one of the important ways for Tesla to reduce costs. It seems a bit contradictory to invite a leading lidar company to go to sea. But after understanding Tesla’s product planning, it is not surprising that the humanoid robot that Tesla will vigorously develop in the future needs an important component-lidar.

The order of M9, the new flagship of Wenjie, has exceeded 10,000.

On October 25th, according to the latest news released by AITO Automobile, the number of M9 bookings in the world has exceeded 15,000. This new car, which was officially launched on October 18th, is positioned as the brand flagship large SUV with a pre-sale price of 500,000-600,000 yuan and is expected to be officially launched in December.

According to the information in the Catalogue of New Energy Vehicles Exempted from Vehicle Purchase Tax (the seventieth batch) published by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the M9 will launch pure electric vehicles and extended range vehicles. Among them, the M9 EV model has at least one configuration with a pure battery life of 630km; The pure electric battery life of the M9 extended-range vehicle is 175km, the matching displacement is 1.5L turbocharged range extender, and the fuel consumption per 100 km is 6.9L.. For the M9, Yu Chengdong once said that it "will redefine the best intelligent SUV within 10 million yuan."

Taking advantage of the rising data of M7, the appearance of M9 in the field of inquiry has a halo of concern. This brand-new model brought by Huawei and Cyrus is also the latest flagship of the "Huawei" model. If an automobile brand wants to take the road of brand upward, it must have a flagship with full performance. With the M9, the "Hua" series car also ushered in its own "true" flagship model.

LI explained "the problem of car out of control"

Recently, a car owner went to a LI store in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province to defend his rights, saying, "LI, the car was out of control and the car was destroyed.". The owner and his family members who defended their rights told the media: "At that time, the car was driving normally at a speed of 103 km/h at high speed, and suddenly the ACC auxiliary system automatically took over the vehicle, causing the vehicle to shift to the right and hit a tree with a diameter of 10cm on the side of the road. The tree was not broken, the A-pillar was torn, the B-pillar was broken, and the roof was deformed, causing a major traffic accident with one death and three injuries." When this incident came out, it caused widespread concern.

To this, LI responded on October 27th, stating that "at 23: 59 pm on July 27th, 2023, an ideal L9 had a serious traffic accident on Wei Zhuang Expressway in Hancheng, Shaanxi Province. We feel very sad and sorry for the casualties caused by the accident. Since the accident, LI has not responded positively, because it was a unilateral accident with clear facts. After the accident, we immediately cooperated with the traffic police to provide EDR (Vehicle Incident Data Recording System) data. According to the feedback from the Judicial Appraisal Center of Traffic Accident Traces of Shaanxi Chang ‘an University entrusted by the traffic police, it is confirmed that no other members in the car are wearing seat belts except the driver. The appraisal conclusion is that there is no product quality problem in the vehicle and there is no problem of out-of-control of the vehicle. The owner has received a traffic accident certificate. "

As cars enter the intelligent era, assisted driving has become the "standard" of new models. We have always called on everyone to be cautious in using safety-related functions such as assisted driving. Caution is not "resistance", but rational use, and we must not relax every time we turn on assisted driving and intelligent driving.

New design language The new Tiggo 8 will be launched in the fourth quarter.

  A few days ago, we learned from relevant channels that the new Chery Tiggo 8 (internal code T1D) will be launched in the fourth quarter of this year. According to the previous spy photos, the new car has been completely replaced with a new design language, and the whole car is more restrained than the current model. In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with a 1.6T turbocharged in-cylinder direct injection engine code-named F4J16, and its transmission is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox.

  "New Tiggo 8 spy photos"

  According to the previous spy photos, although there are strict camouflage stickers attached to the head/tail of the new car, we found some clues through the details. For example, the new car adopts a design style similar to the new Tiggo 7, and its integrated front grille with big mouth replaces the upper and lower split front grille design of the current model. With the long and narrow headlights on both sides and the similar three-stage air intake below, the car looks younger and more fashionable.

  As for the tail, the new car still uses temporary light sets, which has a certain gap with the official production car, so the reference value is not great. In terms of interior, the new car follows the current design style as a whole, and the three-spoke multi-function steering wheel and the suspended large-size central control LCD screen make the car look more fashionable and young.

  In terms of power, according to the information taken by the vehicle, the new car will be equipped with a 1.6T turbocharged in-cylinder direct injection engine code-named F4J16, and its transmission is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. For more information about the new car, we will continue to pay attention.

Director Liu Jin: I made "Ideal City" to awaken more people’s "sleeping ideals".

  "Ideal City" director Liu Jin and actor Sun Li are on the set.

  Director Liu Jin

  In this play, there are not only the "Jianghu" crush on "Macey New", but also the tricks of "Old Fox" and "Little Fox", and the confrontation between "Ming Rules" and "Hidden Rules". Director Liu Jin said that it is a bit like the modern version of "White Deer Plain".

  — — — — — — — — — —

  "Every cost table is a relationship table."

  "The cleanliness of the cost table is the cleanliness of the project."

  "The way of the world, right and wrong, must be contrary to the change? Is the cleanliness of the cost really contrary to the world? "

  Directed by Liu Jin and starring Sun Li and Mark Chao, the realistic workplace drama "Ideal City" is being broadcast. In this play, there are not only "Jianghu" crush on "Macey New", but also the tricks of "Old Fox" and "Little Fox", and the confrontation between "Ming Rules" and "Hidden Rules".

  Liu Jin, director of Ideal City, said in an exclusive interview with the reporter of Zhongqing Daily and Zhongqing.com that when he saw this story, he felt a bit like "the modern version of Bailuyuan".

  In "Ideal City", Yinghai Group is surging. From top to bottom, from the chairman to the newcomers in the workplace, everyone not only sees different scenery, but also draws different conclusions.

  "At this age, I will have a lot of reflections on life. Many things are not black and white, and many people are not simply good people and bad people. This story satisfies my own desire to express. I made "Ideal City" to wake up more people ‘ The ideal of sleeping ’ 。”

  Liu Jin said with emotion: "Most people are full of ideals when they are young and inexperienced, but how many people forget their initial heart and lose their ideals when they walk?" How did you lose your ideal? When did you lose it? "

  If the audience who has seen "The Ideal City" can ask themselves these questions, they will be satisfied and feel that the play has not been filmed in vain.

  "You and I both become mediocre in giving up." Liu Jin said.

  Zhongqingbao Zhongqingwang: What are your ideas for shaping this story?

  Liu Jin: First of all, it is true. At that time, the tone I set for myself was that I must be "highly restored". We can have our aesthetic feeling, but it must be in line with the industry attributes. In the modeling part, I think the role of Su Xiao should be "submerged" in the crowd, not "she is an actress".

  Secondly, setting scenery. In the play, "Tiancheng Architecture" is an extensive and poorly managed company, so it is very old, showing a sense of obsolescence, with the feeling of the 1990s. It was not a very dynamic company at first, and it didn’t change the weather until Su Xiao came.

  The whole light of "Tiancheng Building" will be darker, which not only presents an old feeling, but also has a depressing atmosphere, which is also because Su Xiao’s "Tiancheng" is her darkest moment. Because of Xia Ming, Tianke Building is well managed, so its style is more modern and younger, and the whole environment is better than Tiancheng. When I went to the "head office", I added solid wood elements to the scenery to create a feeling of stable atmosphere.

  Zhongqingbao Zhongqingwang: In The Ideal City, the heroine doesn’t wear makeup, wears a jacket and carries a backpack. Is this also for the sake of realism?

  Liu Jin: The makeup of the actors in our play is very light, and they basically don’t wear makeup. How many people who really work in the cost industry make up? Run to the construction site every day, without makeup.

  Nowadays, many people have been completely conquered by "Meitu" and "Beauty", even taking pictures has to be beautified, and they can no longer see their true selves, let alone the real society. I made a special request for "Ideal City", trying to restore the truth, and realism should first be "realistic".

  After the broadcast of "Ideal City", I saw someone say that the heroine’s clothes are so rustic, which also annoyed me — — As actors, they are all fragile, and girls are all beautiful. The admirable thing about Sun Li, an actress, is that she obeys the feeling of drama. She is a "character walker", and she believes in characters and drama. Sun Li said: "I don’t look good, there is no problem, because I am playing a role, and I am shaping a role." I like her very much and respect her very much.

  A good actor is called shaping, which is different from an idol. Sun Li is a good actress, a real actress. She is shaping the role, making the audience forget Sun Li and remember Su Xiao in The Ideal City.

  Zhongqingbao Zhongqingwang: In the past, the audience’s impression of urban workplace dramas was more glamorous and exquisite.

  Liu Jin: Right. Nowadays, people often say the word "suspension", saying that some film and television dramas are not real life. I think every industry has its own attributes, such as investment banking, which looks glamorous on the surface. But in this society, there are not only these glamorous high-income people, but also ordinary office workers who live and commute to work. We can see that most ordinary people are very simple.

  Zhongqingbao Zhongqingwang: What kind of experience is it to shoot a workplace drama from a female perspective?

  Liu Jin: I didn’t consider the female perspective. Now we all talk about social equality, that is, equal rights between men and women, and women can be the chairman of the board of directors in enterprises. At the social level, there is still a misunderstanding about women. For example, in the later plot, Wang Mingyu will say, "Women will whine all day long, endlessly." This is his misunderstanding of women. Nowadays, many men in society have misunderstandings about women.

  Zhongqingbao Zhongqingwang: The architect plays an "unpopular" role in the film and television drama. How to balance the professional sense and artistic creation of this drama?

  Liu Jin: The script of "Ideal City" has been done for many years. When I got the script, it was very mature, and it was well controlled professionally. As a modern drama, it should reflect people’s hearts and society; And all the stories of workplace drama should revolve around an industry, which is where you work, so you should be very familiar with this industry. When we were filming, there were always industry consultants in the group. How to make each prop? What are the drawings like? All events have a basis. Knowledgeable people can’t find fault. If you are interested in this industry, you can continue to study it, but we are not responsible for introducing this industry clearly. After all, an industry drama is not a documentary or a science and education film.

  Zhongqingbao Zhongqingwang: Su Xiao, played by Sun Li, has always been tenacious. Is that attitude of working hard in her workplace what you want to express?

  Liu Jin: It is very difficult for a person to insist on what he wants, not just to shout a slogan. If you want to stick to it, you really have to be very resilient and work very hard. You will be discovered only if you are excellent. This is also my own life feeling, and I think this is the right path. Su Xiao was beaten down again and again and stood up again and again. There is a scene in which Su Xiao washes the dishes and sees a bug struggling on the edge of the whirlpool. It is particularly tenacious when it is washed down by the water again and again, and always tries hard to escape. Later, Su Xiao fished out the bug and released it. At that moment, Su Xiao’s interaction with bugs represented many people wandering in big cities, and they were all struggling.

  Zhongqingbao Zhongqingwang: What are the elements and characteristics of workplace drama to make the current audience empathize?

  Liu Jin: It is very important for the creator to make all the characters interact and empathize with the audience, so that the audience has a sense of substitution. At the same time, the workplace drama should be realistic. In life, everyone can only see themselves and not others. "Ideal City" shows a "God perspective", which allows the audience to "see themselves" and others at the same time.

  There is a saying called "See heaven and earth, see all beings, and see yourself." I prefer realistic themes, and I also want to express them in this respect. I think TV drama creators, who are engaged in the work that affects the human soul, should seriously sink, establish correct values and strive to create more excellent works that can stand the test of time.

In the summer of 2024, Western Airlines will operate 31 routes in Zhengzhou.

Zhengzhou, Zhengzhou, March 20 (Reporter Xia Sha) From March 31, the civil aviation industry will usher in the flight season change in the summer of 2024. The Western Airlines of HNA Airlines plans to open six new flights and resume eight domestic routes. The number of passenger routes exceeds 100, and there are over 50 navigable cities, providing more than 1,200 flights and more than 220,000 seats every week. Among them, Zhengzhou plans to implement 31 routes and 25 navigation destinations, involving 12 provinces and 1 international region, with 191 flights per week and more than 30,000 seats, providing more routes and flight choices for passengers entering and leaving Zhengzhou. After the mid-season and summer vacation, the route selection will be more abundant.

In this season, Western Airlines promoted the construction of backbone route network, and the number of provincial capital cities among the 12 navigable provinces reached 9. After the season change, the overall network structure has three characteristics: wide and deep connection, direct access to the southwest and entering Xinjiang through Henan. Combined with the characteristics of Henan’s economic and social development and population mobility, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong are the main directions of "going south", building a convenient "heavenly road" for exchanges between Henan and the economically developed southeast coastal areas. Yunnan, Guangxi, Hainan and other directions mainly add more choices for Henan people to travel to Lijiang, Xishuangbanna and Beihai. Zhengzhou’s navigation routes in Xinjiang can reach 7 flights a day, becoming the main channel for "entering Xinjiang via Henan". In addition, Zhengzhou continues to run flights to Jeju, South Korea every Monday and Friday, which is convenient for passengers to travel abroad nearby.

In order to promote the convenience of passenger transit, comprehensively enhance the passenger transit experience, and stimulate the demand potential of the aviation market, Western Airlines will continue to expand the range of transit matching routes in the new aviation season, focusing on improving the connection of transit flights in Chongqing, Zhengzhou and Hefei. Passengers can enjoy a maximum discount of 10% for connecting flights of Western Airlines.

Western Airlines will also take many measures to promote the growth of aviation consumption. On the one hand, it will give the highest 10 yuan direct discount to the new and old members of Jinpeng Club. By joining Jinpeng Club, they can get rich points and rewards by choosing flights, staying in hotels, shopping by credit card, renting cars and so on, and have the opportunity to use the points to redeem hundreds of rewards such as award tickets for free. On the other hand, Western Airlines will continue to launch affordable air tickets and service products through its "pocket money" promotion activities every Wednesday and irregular official live broadcasts in Tik Tok. Passengers can buy "naked tickets" at a lower price, and according to their own needs, they can buy their own checked baggage and on-board meals through the official channels of Western Airlines, which has more and more flexible choices.

It is reported that Western Airlines has exclusive ticket counters and check-in counters at Zhengzhou Airport, with obvious purple signs, so that passengers can easily and quickly identify the handling location of related businesses, improve passenger travel efficiency and increase passenger travel convenience experience. If passengers find that the ticket was bought on the wrong date, the baby was not bought temporarily, and the ticket name and certificate were wrong, they can seek help at the ticket counter of Western Airlines. Zhengzhou Branch of Western Airlines will continue to provide passenger services such as wheelchair services, guidance services, unaccompanied children services, and upgrade services to ensure that passengers can achieve "one ticket in hand and travel without worry" in Zhengzhou.
