(Fighting against COVID-19) Hong Kong officials take measures to ensure that materials supplied to Hong Kong are transported to Hong Kong.

　　China news agency, Hong Kong, February 15 (Reporter Zhang Xiaoxi) Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), said on the 15th that in order to ensure the smooth arrival of goods from the mainland of China, the SAR government is carrying out relevant work at full speed, including recruiting more cross-border drivers and studying water transport schemes, and is studying solutions with the mainland on the shortage of cross-border drivers.

　　On the same day, Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor met with the media at the headquarters of the SAR Government before attending the Executive Council, and made the above remarks when answering a reporter’s question.

　　She pointed out that the supply of materials to Hong Kong is an important issue of concern to the central authorities and related to the people of Hong Kong. For decades, the state has always cared about the people of Hong Kong and ensured the daily needs of the people of Hong Kong, especially the continuous supply of fresh food to Hong Kong. The SAR Government has set up a special team to deal with the recent infection of cross-border truck drivers in Covid-19, which has caused some delays or lags in cross-border freight transport between the Mainland and Hong Kong.

　　Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor said that the current work carried out by the SAR government at full speed includes: recruiting more drivers and inviting drivers who are not at risk of infection to participate in cross-border cargo transportation; Ensure that cross-border drivers "check once a day" and use the rapid antigen test kit to carry out cross-border work only if the test result is negative; We are also studying the water transport scheme and contacting the shipping company to see if we can transport mainland materials to Hong Kong by water.

　　She also revealed that the Secretary for Transport and Housing of the SAR Government, Chen Fan, will explain to the public the supply of materials for Hong Kong, and is studying solutions to the problem of insufficient cross-boundary drivers with the Mainland. The SAR Government hopes to protect people’s daily needs while fighting the epidemic, and appeals to people not to be overly anxious.

　　In addition, a spokesman for the Hong Kong SAR Government said on the 15th that the supply of fresh food imported from the mainland gradually picked up on the 14th. Some cross-boundary truck drivers in Hong Kong tested positive for Covid-19 at Man Kam To Port, which led to the need for prevention and disinfection at the port, and the transportation of fresh food was temporarily blocked. The Shenzhen Municipal Government and the Hong Kong SAR Government extended the customs clearance at the port until the early hours of the morning, allowing fresh food trucks to return to Hong Kong smoothly.

　　The spokesman pointed out that according to the latest information, as of midnight on the 14th, the supply of vegetables from the Mainland to Hong Kong had increased compared with the previous day, with a supply of about 7.14 million kilograms, returning to about 70% on weekdays, and the overall wholesale price of vegetables also dropped slightly. It is expected that the overall supply of vegetables will continue to stabilize. On the 14th, the overall volume of chilled poultry and meat transported from the mainland to Hong Kong was about 60% on weekdays. I believe that the supply will gradually increase after the smooth operation of the port. The supply of live pigs is as usual.

　　21st century business herald reporter Kong Haili and intern Wang Tian report from Beijing.

　　Company No.9 (689009.SH), which focuses on high-end and young electric two-wheeled vehicles, has stepped out of the independent curve.

　　According to the semi-annual report, in the first half of 2024, Company No.9 achieved revenue of 6.666 billion yuan, up 52.2% year-on-year. Among them, revenue from electric two-wheeled vehicles more than doubled year-on-year, and its net profit was 596 million yuan, almost the same as last year’s net profit, up 167.82% year-on-year.

　　It is worth noting that the sales revenue of its own brand increased by 82% year-on-year to 5.86 billion yuan. This is the continuous advancement of No.9 "Independent" since the distribution revenue of Xiaomi customized products fell to 4.3% in FY 2023, and its sales dependence on Xiaomi has been minimal.

　　By mid-2024, Shunwei Capital, with Lei Jun as the legal person, has withdrawn from the ranks of major shareholders, and among the top ten shareholders of No.9 Company, there is no Shunwei Capital.

　　After the announcement of the financial report, the share price of Company No.9 rose by more than 13% at the opening, and finally closed at 44.58 yuan with a 7.5% increase, a record high in the past two years.

　　Electric two-wheeled vehicle "takes the lead"

　　When the overall electric two-wheeled vehicle market bid farewell to "high growth", the electric vehicle revenue of Company No.9 has been rising steadily.

　　In recent years, the position of electric vehicle business in No.9 company has become more and more prominent, and the proportion of performance has been increasing. In the first half of this year, the revenue of electric vehicles was 3.383 billion yuan, accounting for more than half of the total revenue, reaching 50.74%. This figure was 1.087%, 1.929% and 35.97% respectively in the semi-annual report from 2021 to 2023, and the corresponding turnover was 513 million yuan, 930 million yuan and 1.575 billion yuan respectively.

　　In the first half of the year, electric balance cars and electric scooters realized a revenue of 1.59 billion yuan, accounting for 23.8% of the revenue. Service robots, all-terrain vehicles and other products and accessories earned 470 million yuan, 510 million yuan, 110 million yuan and 610 million yuan respectively.

　　In the first half of the year, Company No.9 sold 1.2 million electric two-wheeled vehicles, about 12,100 all-terrain vehicles and 518,100 self-owned brand retail scooters.

　　The rapid growth of electric two-wheeled vehicles’ performance is partly due to the expanding number of stores of No.9 Company.

　　According to the information disclosed by the company, by the end of June, there were over 6,200 franchised stores of electric two-wheeled vehicles in China, covering more than 1,100 counties and cities. In the data disclosed earlier this year, Company No.9 indicated that there were about 5,000 offline stores.

　　Company No.9, which focuses on the high-end market, has a higher gross profit margin of electric two-wheeled vehicles than its peers. In the first half of the year, the gross profit margin of electric two-wheeled vehicles of Company No.9 was about 22.26%, which was higher than 19.27% at the end of last year.

　　According to Company No.9, the gross profit margin of the electric two-wheeled vehicle business is 23.73% if the influence of store building subsidy is excluded.

　　In contrast, the company’s service robots have the highest gross profit margin, reaching 56.23%. The gross profit margin of electric balance car and scooter is about 33.79%.

　　Different from relying more on foreign markets before, today, the domestic market has become the largest source of income for Company No.9.. In the first half of the year, the domestic market revenue of No.9 Company reached 3.86 billion yuan, far exceeding the foreign revenue of 2.8 billion yuan.

　　However, on the whole, foreign regions still have higher gross profit margins. In the first half of the year, the gross profit margin of foreign countries was 38.29%, and that of domestic countries was 24.76%.

　　In order to promote business growth, Company No.9 continued to invest heavily in advertising promotion in the first half of the year. The company’s sales expenses increased from 460 million yuan in the same period last year to 640 million yuan this year. Among them, the publicity and advertising expenses increased from 150 million yuan last year to 250 million yuan this year.

　　In the first half of the year, the net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent company of Company No.9 was about 600 million yuan, an increase of 167.8% over the same period of last year, reversing the year-on-year decline. The net cash flow from operating activities was about 2.49 billion yuan, the net cash increase was 830 million yuan, and the ending cash balance was 5.28 billion yuan.

　　The surplus cash in the account also enabled Company No.9 to start fund management. In the first half of this year, Company No.9 used part of its funds to purchase wealth management products, and the transaction scale of wealth management products reached 4.8 billion yuan, a significant increase compared with nearly 700 million yuan in the same period last year. By the end of June, the balance of its trading financial assets had increased from 228 million yuan at the end of last year to 1.47 billion yuan at the end of the first half of this year.

　　Earlier, the company also said that it is expected to use no more than 1.1 billion yuan to purchase land use rights and carry out headquarters research and development and office building construction. The land area is about 10,000 square meters, and the above-ground construction area is about 34,000 square meters. The construction period is 4 years, and the capital will be invested in batches.

　　According to the semi-annual report information disclosed by No.9 Company, the budget for R&D and office building construction of Beijing headquarters is 1.05 billion yuan, and the amount invested at present is about 17 million yuan, accounting for 1.62% of the total budget.

　　"De-millet" is basically completed.

　　Company No.9 was once a Xiaomi ecological chain enterprise, and was "supported" by Xiaomi in the early days.

　　In 2015, with the help of Xiaomi and Sequoia, Company No.9 acquired Segway, a well-known American balance car brand, thus opening up the balance car market. At the same time, Company No.9 became a new member of Xiaomi’s ecological chain, producing balance cars and scooters for it.

　　Backed by Xiaomi’s sales channel, No.9 achieved rapid sales growth, but its gross profit margin was relatively low. In the fiscal year of 2017-2019, the fetters between Company No.9 and Xiaomi were still deep, and the related transactions accounted for more than 50% of the revenue.

　　After listing in 2020, Company No.9 continuously reduced its business dependence on Xiaomi. In 2021, the distribution revenue of Xiaomi’s customized products accounted for 32.29%, which dropped sharply to 7.23% in 2022, and further dropped to 4.3% in 2023.

　　Xiaomi’s customized distribution income is declining year by year, and the income of No.9′ s own brand is gradually increasing. In fiscal year 2023, its own brand sales revenue was 8.189 billion yuan, up 31.36% year-on-year. In the first half of this year, this figure was 5.86 billion yuan, up 82% year-on-year.

　　In the mid-year report in 2024, although Company No.9 did not separately disclose the revenue proportion of Xiaomi distribution, the overall revenue structure of the company, including electric vehicles, all-terrain vehicles, service robots and other income, has reached 84.54%.

　　21st century business herald reporter learned from insiders of No.9 Company that "this is a better change". The source said that from the initial listing, Xiaomi channel sales accounted for more than half, and now it accounts for less than 5%. The income structure of Company No.9 has undergone great changes, and the proportion of truly profitable and sustainable businesses has increased significantly.

　　"This is a natural result. The company’s investment in independent brands is increasing, and it is also a process of active change." The person said.

　　In the first half of 2024, the net profit of Company No.9 was 596 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 167.82%, which was close to the net profit level of the whole year of 2023 (598 million yuan).

　　In terms of capital mobility, in this year’s interim report, Shunwei Capital has withdrawn from the ranks of major shareholders of No.9 Company.

　　The data shows that as of the first quarter of this year, Shunwei TMT lll Limited, a subsidiary of Shunwei Capital, holds 4.01% of the shares and is the sixth largest shareholder. The reference market value of Company No.9 at that time was 859 million yuan. Today, the tenth largest shareholder of Company No.9 is HC Tech LLL.P., with a shareholding ratio of 2.05% and a reference market value of 542 million yuan. Based on this calculation, the amount of capital reduction of Shunwei is at least 300 million yuan.

　　In addition to Shunwei, Sequoia Capital has also reduced its holdings of Company No.9 for many times. Sequoia Capital was once the largest external institutional investor of No.9. When the latter went public, Sequoia Capital held 15.12% of its shares. As of June 30, 2024, the shareholding ratio of Sequoia’s HSGGF Hold Co III-A, Ltd. was 5.1%, which was further reduced from 5.78% at the end of 2023.

　　By June 30, 2024, the actual controllers Gao Lufeng and Wang Ye of Company No.9 jointly controlled 60.05% of the voting rights of the Company.

　　No.9 is not the only company that "goes to Xiaomi".

　　In the smart home appliance market, Roborock, which specializes in wireless vacuum cleaners and intelligent sweeping robots, has developed from wireless vacuum cleaners to the pursuit technology of sweeping robots, floor washers and hair dryers. After large-scale development, it has gradually reduced the proportion of millet sales channels and continued to "de-millet".

　　A practitioner in the smart home appliance industry told 21st century business herald that it is a routine business operation for Xiaomi Eco-chain enterprises to seek independence after scale, and they hope to reduce the impact of the main single channel on the company’s operation and seek a healthier revenue structure.

　　CCTV News:"Effectively fulfill network security responsibilities and promote a significant improvement in network security work." The 2022 National Cyber Security Publicity Week is scheduled to be held from September 5 th to 11 th. At the press conference held on August 31 ST, Gao Lin, deputy director of the Cyber Security Coordination Bureau of the Central Network Information Office and a first-class inspector, introduced during the question-and-answer session. After unremitting efforts in recent years, China’s cyber security policies and regulations system has been continuously improved, and the network security work system and mechanism have been increasingly improved. The capabilities of key information infrastructure protection, data security management, personal information protection and risk prevention of new technologies and new applications have been continuously strengthened, network security education, technology and industry have been integrated and developed, the awareness and capabilities of network security in the whole society have been significantly improved, and the network security guarantee system and capabilities have been continuously built, providing a solid guarantee for safeguarding the sovereignty, security and development interests of the national cyberspace.

　　One isThe system of network security policies and regulations has basically taken shape.. In view of the outstanding problems concerned by all walks of life and the people, we have formulated relevant strategic plans, promulgated a series of laws and regulations such as the Network Security Law, the Data Security Law, the Personal Information Protection Law, and the Regulations on the Security Protection of Key Information Infrastructure, and issued policy documents such as the Network Security Review Measures, the Cloud Computing Service Security Assessment Measures, and Several Provisions on Automobile Data Security Management (Trial). We have established a series of important systems, such as key information infrastructure security protection, network security review, cloud computing service security assessment, data security management, and personal information protection. At the same time, we have issued more than 300 national standards, and basically built a "four beams and eight pillars" of network security policies and regulations system.

　　The second isThe national network security system has been continuously improved.. The National Cyber Security Emergency Plan was issued, the National Cyber Security Emergency Office was set up, the working mechanism of cyber security emergency coordination and notification was established and improved, and the cyber security emergency response mechanism was established with various regions, departments and relevant central enterprises to collect information, monitor and warn, notify risks and respond to disposal in time, and build a "national chess game" working system.

　　The third isThe security protection system and capacity of key information infrastructure have been significantly strengthened.. Through the promulgation of "Network Security Law", "Regulations on the Security Protection of Key Information Infrastructure" and other laws and regulations, the legal basis for establishing the security protection system of key information infrastructure in China has been clarified. The Central Network Information Office is responsible for overall coordination, the relevant functional departments of the state do a good job in safety protection and supervision within the scope of their duties, the protection departments earnestly perform the safety protection and supervision and management responsibilities of their own industries and fields, the operators strictly implement the main responsibilities, and all sectors of society cooperate with each other to promote the network security work to a higher level and a deeper level.

　　The fourth isNetwork security risk prevention capability has been continuously strengthened.. Implement the Measures for Network Security Review, establish a national network security review mechanism, and review the procurement activities of key information infrastructure operators. This year’s newly revised "Network Security Review Measures" was officially implemented, and data processing activities that affect or may affect national security were also included in the scope of national network security review. Through censorship, we will vigorously safeguard network security and data security, and prevent and resolve national security risks. In view of the potential risks and regulatory problems of large-scale Internet platforms, we should adhere to the unity of promoting development and managing according to law, encourage platforms to play a greater role in leading technological innovation, stimulating economic vitality and promoting information benefiting the people, and comprehensively create a fair competition, inclusive development, and open and innovative market environment.

　　The fifth isPromote integrated development in network security education, technology and industry.. The first-class discipline of national cyberspace security was established, and the first-class network security college construction demonstration project was implemented, and a special network security fund was established. At present, more than 60 colleges and universities in China have established cyber security colleges, and more than 200 colleges and universities have established cyber security undergraduate majors, with more than 20,000 cyber security graduates each year. A national cyber security talent and innovation base has been built, and a national cyber security education technology industry integration development experimental zone has been organized. Actively promote the development of network security industry and form a good foundation for industrial development.

　　Six is"Network security for the people, network security depends on the people" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.. Through holding the National Cyber Security Publicity Week for 9 consecutive years, the normalized cyber security education and publicity will be carried out in depth. Organize the special treatment of illegal collection and use of personal information by APP, implement centralized treatment of black products such as camera voyeurism, severely crack down on illegal and criminal activities such as illegal sale of personal information, infringement of citizens’ privacy and telecommunication network fraud, and effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the people.

　　Seven isThe responsibility system for network security work is obviously consolidated.. Through the issuance of the "Implementation Measures of the Party Committee (Party Group) Network Security Work Responsibility System", we will give full play to the role of the responsibility system and guide all regions and departments to establish a network security work responsibility system. Give play to the role of audit supervision, support the Audit Office to carry out audits on network security and informatization construction, and include the implementation of the network security responsibility system in the audit scope. Actively set up models and commend the advanced, and jointly with Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, carry out the first national network security advanced collective and advanced individual selection and commendation, so as to stimulate the enthusiasm and initiative of all localities and departments to pay close attention to network security work.

Ten years ago, I first drove a new coastal highway on N247, which is a winding asphalt road with beautiful scenery. At that time, I tested the new BMW Active Hybrid 5-the first electrification technology in the BMW midsize car. Time came to 2023, and I was driving a 5-series car again, but this time it was all electric. BMW 8th Generation 5 Series: 2024 i5.

I5 inherits the more outstanding features of i7, that is to say, it is not an electric car on a special platform like iX SUV. On the contrary, electric and fuel vehicles share the same chassis structure, and BMW designed the CLAR platform to adapt, plug-in and electric power systems. From the outside, it is difficult to distinguish the i5 from the fuel version. Like the i7 and 7 series, this is intentional. Thankfully, this i5 is quite handsome.

Is i5 a single motor or a double motor? In the American market, BMW will launch two versions: the single-motor eDrive40 with rear drive and the dual-motor with all-wheel drive. Both of them are equipped with a ternary of 81.2kW·h, and BMW said that all i5 models support DC fast charging of up to 205kW, which is a big improvement compared with the i7′ s 195kW. When connected to a household Level 2 charger, the charging power is 11kW.

In the i5 eDrive40, the maximum power of the rear motor generates 250kW(335hp/340Ps) and 400Nm of torque, which is enough to accelerate this 4,916-pound (about 2227kg) car to 60 mph (about 100km/h) in 5.7 seconds, which is the same as that of the old ActiveHybrid 5. For daily driving, this speed is enough, especially because of the instantaneous torque of electric vehicles, the starting acceleration of 0-30 mph (0-48km/h) is always very fast. If you drive properly, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says that with this single motor configuration, the maximum cruising range can reach 295 miles (475km).

However, the performance of the i5 M60 xDrive is even better. It is equipped with a powerful 442kW(593hp/601PS) and 586 lb-ft (795Nm) torque. Installing the second electric drive unit on the front axle increased the weight by 331 pounds (about 150kg), but the extra power quickly offset the counterweight. The i5 M60 can accelerate to 60 mph (about 100km/h) in 3.7 seconds. However, the cruising range will be affected; According to the US Environmental Protection Agency,

Excellent daily driving experience

No matter what the power output is, the driving feeling of the i5 is as good as that of the BMW Fuel Edition 5 Series: it is smooth and comfortable on the highway, but it can also easily drive into the narrow B-class road curve. I tested the prototype i5 at the BMW proving ground in Miramas earlier this year, and I was deeply impressed by its performance. It seems that its driving characteristics have hardly changed since then.

I am driving an i5 eDrive40 equipped with optional M Sport suspension, electronically adjustable and 21-inch wheels (smaller 19-inch and 20-inch wheels are also provided). The suspension system of the vehicle is excellent, which can well filter out the bad road conditions common in small towns in Portugal.

Standard rear air suspension

All i5 models are equipped with self-balancing rear air suspension, which makes the rear of the vehicle softer, while the front double wishbone suspension can control the front of the car well, and at the same time, it can transmit enough feedback through the thick steering wheel.

Follow-up steering/active anti-roll

All i5 models can choose 2.5-degree rear axle steering, which helps to make the rear of the vehicle more stable in sharp corners, but only M60 is equipped with the new 48V active anti-roll technology of Series 5, which is very helpful to keep the car stable when crossing Portuguese hills.

Multi-gear adjustable kinetic energy recovery

As an electric vehicle, i5 relies on kinetic energy recovery to return some extra energy to the battery. There are many kinetic energy recovery efforts to choose from, which can be managed in the relatively cumbersome submenu of iDrive 8.5 (which will be introduced in detail later). My suggestion is to keep the i5 running in the B gear (one box below the D gear), so as to get the maximum regenerative energy. Moreover, never turn on the adaptive recovery function, which will increase or decrease the kinetic energy recovery according to the GPS route data. This sounds good in theory, but it will actually lead to inconsistent braking force.

Can you let go of your hands and drive automatically? Of course, the i5 can meet your needs-on a pre-planned highway, but unlike the BlueCruise or Super Cruise, you can use BMW’s Highway Assistant to drive for a long time without touching the steering wheel, and it won’t automatically shut down the system if you need to make a slight adjustment. Very simple.

The popular function introduced by i5 is gesture-based lane change technology. Basically, if you are using the highway assistant HS, and the system detects that you may need to change lanes, it will suggest changing lanes, and you only need to look at the corresponding side mirror to activate changing lanes. If you don’t want to take the advice of i5, just keep looking ahead. Again, very simple. And don’t worry, this technology will soon be launched on other BMW models equipped with highway assistants.

The fashionable interior is full of science and technology, and it is those small details that make the interior of i5 so excellent, such as the beautiful contrast sewing on the artificial leather seat, the backlight ambient light board or the glass buttons on the center console. There are even two on the wireless charging board in front of the cup holder.

A curved display screen integrates a 12.3-inch digital instrument and a 14.9-inch multimedia touch screen. The former has multiple reconfigurable displays and useful overlays, which can help you to follow each turn direction accurately. The screen on the right is the vehicle display window of iDrive 8.5, which is a good upgrade to the existing iDrive 8.0 technology. It adds a row of function buttons at the bottom of the display to facilitate quick access to common functions. This is a good thing, because our main menu is a bunch of small icons, which are difficult to click on while driving. BMW said that more improvements will be upgraded through OTA.

AirConsole may not be what we need: when you stop (such as charging), you can scan the QR code on your mobile phone and play one of 10 different video games on the 14.9-inch display. From ""to "",all kinds of games have non-brand versions to choose from. Although I don’t know whether playing with your mobile phone while waiting for i5 to start will improve the situation, you can try it. Up to seven people can connect and play games on the AirConsole, which will help to extend this situation to BMW’s seven-seat vehicles and enjoy the game.

About price

The 2024 i5 eDrive40 will be launched this autumn, with a starting price of US$ 67,795 (equivalent to about RMB 495,005) [including the destination freight of US$ 995 (equivalent to about RMB 7,265)]. This price is lower than the selling price of EQE 350+ and EQE 350+,which are US$ 76,050 (about RMB 555,279) and US$ 76,380 (about RMB 557,688.5) respectively. Interestingly, the price of i5 is only a few thousand dollars more expensive than the newly launched ActiveHybrid 5 in 2012, which is the performance of the affirmative action movement of electric vehicles.

For consumers who pursue power, the i5 M60 xDrive is another good choice, and the price is 85,095 US dollars (equivalent to about 621,321 yuan), which is lower than EQE with logo again. Although I like the thrill of 442kW(593hp/601PS) very much, I think the eDrive40 is more suitable for daily driving. First of all, it has no strange closed grille design, and 250kW(335hp/340Ps) power is fast enough. In addition, like the gray model in the picture, a well-equipped i5 eDrive40 only costs about 75,000 US dollars (equivalent to about 547,612.5 yuan).

The 5 Series is about to launch brand-new gasoline models: the 530i, the all-wheel drive 530i xDrive and the 540i xDrive. In addition, BMW will also launch M5 Touring, but this car is not for the North American market. At the same time, the highly anticipated will also be listed soon. Although electrification is the future trend, we also hope that the next major progress of 5 series electrification can be realized as soon as possible, instead of spending another ten years.

How much do you estimate the starting price of i5 in China?

　　[car home Engine Technology] Under the tide of turbine direct injection, various car companies have come up with their "good tricks" to deal with this trend. So under this tide, which displacement has become a treasure for major car companies to seize? Non-2.0T group. In order to make the engine have a lower displacement, at the same time, it can have the same power as a six-cylinder engine, and it also has a better performance in economy. The 2.0T four-cylinder supercharged engine can be said to have the advantage.

　　Since it is a battleground for military strategists, there must be a variety of engine products for our consumers to choose from in this displacement group, and you must have seen them dazzling. By the end of the year, let’s take stock of those mainstream 2.0T supercharged engines together, so that you can have a clear understanding and comparison of them.

　　Note: This year-end inventory, please see the officials don’t cause bad influence in the comment area, each engine has its own advantages and disadvantages, please look at it rationally, thank you for your understanding.

● Why do major manufacturers choose the displacement of 2.0T?

　　To understand this kind of engine, we must first know why many manufacturers love 2.0T: on the one hand, its displacement is not too small, the cylinder diameter and stroke of each cylinder are relatively balanced, and the ride comfort performance is acceptable; On the other hand, after the 2.0L engine is equipped with a supercharger, its power is comparable to that of some six-cylinder engines with larger displacement, and even many manufacturers regard the 2.0T four-cylinder supercharged engine as a "substitute product" of their old six-cylinder naturally aspirated engine. Most importantly, under the condition of ensuring sufficient power, generally speaking, a 2.0T four-cylinder engine is more economical and fuel-efficient than a V6 engine with larger displacement, and it also has some advantages in displacement tax.

　　Among the 2.0T engines, in order to differentiate their power output levels, many brands have matched 2.0T engines with roughly the same structure but different adjustments on different models. On the one hand, it can be seen that the 2.0T engine benefits from the advantage of moderate displacement, which has the characteristics of wide power coverage and adaptability to many models. So how do these different versions of 2.0T do it?

　　Some engines can be realized simply by ECU, but most engines have different degrees of enhanced design for many engine components except the multi-power version of ECU. So why do you say this here? Friends who brush ECU, you must think carefully, and if you can, you’d better do some engine strengthening work (don’t ask me how I know! Who is young and has never made a mistake! ）。

　　Below, according to different brands, we will divide them into two groups of 2.0T products for spicy evaluation. There will be a certain degree of spit in front of high energy, so don’t be too serious.

● Overseas brand group: the technology is basically formed and the power coverage is wide.

1. The controversial pioneer: Volkswagen EA888 2.0T

　　Old friend EA888 must be familiar to everyone. I remember that around 2006, the first batch of fifth-generation GTI imported into China adopted the combination of 2.0TSI+6-speed DSG, which was the first time I came into contact with Volkswagen’s "legendary powertrain" in China. As for how magical this thing was at that time, a set of data is enough to explain everything: the power is 100Ps, and the acceleration of 100 kilometers can reach 6.9s with the dual-clutch gearbox. The appearance price of "hatchback sagitar" is about 400,000. Ten years ago, it was absolutely "no friends" to sell it to China at this level.

　　I don’t know if the data is amazing to other manufacturers. After the increase of direct injection from Volkswagen EA113, many manufacturers gradually began to compete to develop direct injection supercharged engines. On the other hand, now, direct injection supercharged engines are popular, stealing the limelight of many self-priming engines, coupled with increasingly severe emission regulations and tax policies, and now cars are embarrassed to say hello to others without supercharging.

　　Indeed, people are afraid that famous pigs are afraid of being fat. While EA888 attracts people’s attention, the problem of burning engine oil also gives many car owners a headache. The specific reason can be seen in the EA888 disassembly article we wrote before: EA888 disassembly. This engine is not hacked here. As far as things are concerned, the probability of burning engine oil is really high, but the third generation EA888 has made improvements on the oil pipeline and oil-gas separator, and the actual effect has indeed improved. Another problem is that this engine inherits the "grandfather-class" cylinder block of EA113 and adopts cast iron. Although it has certain advantages in strength, it is too old. The cylinder block sinks and radiates heat, and it is not a problem for the current cast aluminum alloy technology to achieve high strength.

2. Built an engine like a playmate: BMW B48 2.0T

　　Another engine that is now on fire should be the BMW B-series engine. Different from EA888 years’ production, BMW B-series engine is a "young man". This engine was born to gradually replace the N-series engine that has been manufactured for many years. If you know BMW, you should be very clear that the B-series and N-series engines are definitely completely redesigned.

　　Yes, unlike N-series engines, B-series engines adopt a modular design concept. No matter how many cylinders and displacement, the parts between engines are still very replaceable. This is because at the beginning of the design, engines with different displacements used single cylinder size data with uniform specifications (cylinder diameter: 82mm, stroke: 94.6mm, ideal displacement of single cylinder: 0.5L), and changing the displacement is nothing more than the process of cylinder increase and cylinder decrease (special case: B38A-12A engine), and in the process of engine development, many structures matched with engines with different displacements can achieve unified design. In this way, engines with different displacement cylinders are just like "Lego", which is much easier to realize in design.

　　This engine can be said to incorporate many popular advanced engine technologies: water-cooled intake, integrated exhaust of cylinder head, cylinder liner design, etc., and retain the direct injection technology, valve timing and lift adjustment. Although there is not much improvement in parameters compared with N20, the power output level covered by the original factory is still very wide due to the strengthened water cooling system. (Want to know more about B48? Poke the link: B48 engine analysis)

　　So this engine must be perfect? In fact, there is still room for improvement. For example, at present, an electronically controlled mechanical water pump is used, and in the future, an independent electronic water pump can be considered to replace it. In addition, due to its high degree of integrated design, this engine may not be as convenient as N20 for friends who want to modify it later.

3. Germany and Japan share: 2.0t Mercedes-Benz M274/M270 (called 274930/274A) 2.0T Nissan).

　　Volkswagen BMW has its own 2.0T, and German car pioneer Mercedes-Benz will definitely not fall behind. Under the tide of direct turbine injection, Mercedes-Benz also entered the 2.0T turbine era in 2011: two engines codenamed M274 (vertical) /M270 (horizontal) were put into production cars to replace the four-cylinder supercharged engine before Mercedes-Benz.

　　Like many brands, Mercedes-Benz, which has tasted the sweetness, even wants this engine to try to replace the original low-power six-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, but there is a problem here: Mercedes-Benz, as a luxury brand that Germans are proud of, will make people think that Mercedes-Benz "does not pursue texture" in the practice of "reducing cylinders". And the truth? While affirming the advantages of this engine in technical level and power output, the sound of this engine is really not very good.

　　In fact, this kind of "transnational cooperation" is not the first time. Nowadays, many brands have realized the exchange of needed goods, and the future trend must be to create a "global car" that the whole planet likes. If you experience many German and Japanese brand new cars yourself, you will find that the driving quality between them is very similar to that before, and the concept of "a certain car" will become more and more faded, so it is only good to share good things. Although this engine has not been produced for a long time, this M274/M270 is nearing replacement, and the new Mercedes-Benz four-cylinder turbine engine is being developed and tested. As for the new machine, we will wait and see. (Want to know more about M274/M270? Poke the link: M274 engine analysis)

4. Regain the four-cylinder water alignment: Porsche horizontally aligns 2.0T

　　Yes, there is one engine that has caused great controversy in the matter of "cylinder reduction", that is, Porsche horizontally opposed four-cylinder 2.0T turbocharged engine. "What? Porsche gave up the horizontally opposed six cylinders and switched to a four-cylinder turbine? What is the difference between that and Subaru? " Don’t rush to deny this engine, at least it’s not against tradition.

　　Since it does not violate tradition, what are the advantages of this engine? Please, this is a product of the new era. Porsche will not be stupid enough to give up a successful project before and invest in a failed project. Let’s start with the improvement brought by this engine: Compared with the Boxster/Cayman equipped with a 2.7L horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine, this 2.0T engine is faster in speed, more economical and fuel-efficient and lighter in weight. While retaining the proper handling of Porsche, it also makes this car "more people-friendly": the official quotation and the purchase tax of displacement tax are lower, which makes it easier for you to realize the dream of Porsche sports car (although I still can’t afford it).

　　In a sense, the replacement of this engine is successful, at least it can make more people feel the charm of Porsche sports cars with less money. Of course, in the end, we still have to vomit a little shortcoming of this seemingly perfect engine: the sound is not as rich and charming as before. I’m not alone, but many people think so. Like Mercedes-Benz 2.0T, it lacks a sense of sophistication.

5. Materialist: Toyota 8AR-FTS2.0t.

　　To say that the most famous brand in the world is Toyota. Practical, easy to open, worry-free and cheap is the reputation that Toyota has laid for many years. Lean production and practical design have carried out the whole Toyota brand, and of course, the same is true for engines. It is not only necessary to integrate the current advanced technology, but also reliable and durable, and it is also very cheap to maintain.

　　Mixed injection, Otto-Atkinson cycle switching, dual VVT and integrated exhaust hood, etc., all make it face a lot of 2.0T engines that claim to be technologically advanced. Indeed, if you have studied this engine carefully, you will find that this engine combines almost all the advanced gasoline engine technologies that are popular at present. From the aspects of fuel efficiency and emissions, this engine has good strength, and it seems that the image of "Toyota’s power is only enough" has been changed.

　　So why did Toyota go to so much trouble to make this 2.0T engine have so many engine technologies? In fact, it is not difficult to understand that Toyota has never rejected new technologies. On the contrary, it hopes that new technologies can make up for the inherent shortcomings of some turbine engines. It is the original intention of this engine to apply appropriate technologies under suitable engine conditions. In fact, Toyota has also done it. Of course, in theory, with so many technologies integrated, it is indeed difficult to ensure reliability. You know that Toyota is a brand famous for its reliability. What kind of results will this slightly radical approach bring? In addition, according to feedback from some Toyota 2.0T owners, this engine is burning engine oil (there are two examples around, but there are also some cases that may occur, so we are still paying attention and actively communicating with engineers). (To learn more about this engine, poke the link: Lexus 2.0T)

6. TYPE R’s Earth Dream: Honda Earth Dream K20C2.0t.

　　Speaking of Honda’s big moves in recent years, it belongs to the "EARTH DREAM" engine: the Honda Earth Dream series was born. Indeed, Honda, which has rarely had turbine engines, has finally made some changes: turbocharging and our technology are combined to create an "earth dream" and let new turbine engines spread to their global cars.

　　In fact, Honda is not without turbocharged technology. A few years ago, Honda tried to equip the previous generation Acura RDX with a turbocharged engine, and then there was no following. The return of turbocharging can be seen as Honda’s return to the test water turbocharging technology again through the turbine trend. And what is the result of this regression? Comparing the K20C3 of Crown Road with the 8AR-FTS 2.0T of Highlander, the output of this engine is very bright, and the actual output performance is equally good.

　　Indeed, Honda has produced a powerful engine this time, but if you carefully observe what I said, it is not difficult to find one point: only the exhaust end of the car has the valve lift adjustment function in VTEC. It must be a measure to ensure that the cylinder pressure is not too large and balance the cost. After all, the turbine and direct injection are blessed, and the cylinder pressure is different from before. (For more information about this engine, please poke the link: Honda 2.0T engine disassembly)

7. Variable compression ratio: British finidi VC-T 2.0T

　　After two days, Nissan seems to be unable to sit still and take out some high-tech 2.0T engines. Under the protection of Mercedes-Benz M274/M270 for several years, Nissan recently took out their "black technology": a 2.0T engine with variable compression ratio, and called it VC-T, and the first batch will be carried in the brand-new British and finidi QX50.

　　While retaining some popular technologies such as mixed injection and timing adjustment, how does this engine complete the compression ratio adjustment function? In fact, it’s not complicated. Since we dare not change the connecting rod structure of the crankshaft easily, we should find ways to make the crankshaft realize plane displacement and ensure that the piston moves at the same time.

　　To tell the truth, this move is quite crazy. After the in-cylinder explosion does work, the piston directly transmits the converted kinetic energy to the piston connecting rod, and the connecting rod is directly connected with the crankshaft. To put it bluntly, the three parts are parts that bear great impulse and kinetic energy. Each individual part is generally cast, and even some engines have to go through a further forging process to ensure the strength of these three parts. The newly added eccentric wheel structure also has to bear considerable strength, and the strength of this mechanism will be the key to be considered in the future durability. (For more information about this engine, click the link: British finidi VC-T)

8. Americans feel good: Subaru FA20F is horizontally opposed to 2.0T

　　Speaking of Subaru’s 2.0T horizontally opposed engine, maybe you, like me, first think of the legendary engine installed in the old STi-EJ20 (want to see the contents of EJ series engines? Poke the link: EJ20 series of classic engines). It is true that in the process of "pinching" with the old EVO equipped with 4G63T, the EJ20 series of Subaru’s strongest horizontally opposed 2.0T engine contributed greatly, and it has a very impressive performance in terms of strength and power output. Today, however, instead of talking about classics, we will go to see a new era product of Subaru: FA20F engine.

　　This brand-new horizontally opposed four-cylinder turbocharged 2.0T engine can be said to be completely different from the previous EJ20: firstly, the cylinder stroke, the double 86mm design of FA20F, which can give consideration to power emission and economy, and balance the power output at middle and low speeds to a certain extent, which is quite different from the previous EJ20 with high speed orientation. In addition, the aluminum alloy cylinder head also makes it lose a lot of weight, and with the support of Toyota D-4S mixed injection technology, this engine shows a kind of simplicity.

　　As for the shortcomings, it may be the same eccentric wear problem as Porsche horizontally opposed engine. This is horizontally opposed engine’s congenital structural defect. The piston will be seriously worn on the lower part of the cylinder wall under the influence of gravity, which will lead to a series of problems such as burning engine oil, which can only be strengthened as far as possible and cannot be completely cured. However, these problems will take a long time to appear, and it is most important to eat, drink and be merry.

9, when old and strong: general Ecotec LDK 2.0T

　　GM LDK 2.0T engine can be regarded as one of GM’s counter-offensive horns against European 2.0T engines. Needless to say, in-cylinder direct injection combined with turbocharging technology, it is impossible for European 2.0T players to feel the pressure from the United States without some hard power.

　　The LDK 2.0T we are going to talk about today is actually the second generation product. GM’s measures to deal with the future are actually similar to those of other brands. The engine product series named Ecotec covers many displacements. In addition to the popular direct injection turbine technology, this LDK 2.0T engine also has a double scroll design and a double counter-rotating balance shaft, and low friction resistance optimization is adopted for some in-cylinder structures, so that it has a good balance performance in power performance and fuel consumption.

　　So the disadvantage of this engine may be that it is a little tired. When other people’s engines are constantly improving, this 2.0T engine doesn’t seem to have much optimization. Today’s car engines can give you a new gadget from time to time, and this LDK seems to have room for technical improvement compared with its competitors. But don’t forget, GM also has a 2.0T equipped on Cadillac. (To know about Cadillac 2.0T engine, poke the link: general LTG engine)

10. Challenging Volkswagen: Ford EcoBoost 2.0T

　　If EA888 is the beginning of the 2.0T war, then Ford’s EcoBoost is definitely a player determined to chop it down. Once launched, the high-power calibration added a lot of color to it (of course, there is a story here, which we will talk about later), and the sum of many technologies featured by EcoBoost really confirmed the strength of this engine.

　　Direct injection+turbine technology is inevitable, dual VVT timing adjustment and low inertia turbine are reasonable, and support lean combustion. Aluminum alloy cylinder head and balance shaft also add a lot of color to this engine. With dual clutch gearbox, this powertrain has a kind of Volkswagen "TSI+DSG" tonality. It seems that Ford is developing this set of things in a targeted way, and EcoBoost can also support hybrid power systems. Today, the latest EcoBoost 2.0T is actually the second generation product, which adds a double scroll design. For more advanced engine technology, they said that they will gradually try to apply it to the EcoBoost engine.

　　As for what kind of problems exist in this engine, it may be because Americans want to steal the limelight too much. The first generation of EcoBoost 2.0T engine has a virtual horsepower standard. Someone once pulled it to the power machine for testing. I wonder if it is the transmission efficiency. It is found that its actual output parameters are far from the calibration, which really makes many people disappointed. Of course, this is not to deny this engine. After loading, its actual dynamic performance has gained a lot of praise.

11. Squeeze to the limit: Volvo Turbo+Mechanical Supercharge 2.0T

　　If you want to find a mass-produced 2.0T engine with the most abnormal power output at present, Volvo must stand up and speak. In 2013, Volvo released its new DRIVE-E powertrain, among which a 2.0T turbo+supercharged engine attracted much attention. Up to now, in Volvo’s product line, this engine is definitely the master of the brand Hua Dan, and even a big guy like XC90 has entered the 2.0T era because of its birth.

　　A little different from many 2.0T engines, Volvo seems to want this engine to be squeezed to the limit. In addition to turbocharging and supercharge, the effect of this measure is bound to be beautiful: this engine can actually accelerate the 100 kilometers of XC90 with a self-weight of more than 2 tons to 7.26s! It seems that you don’t have to worry about the problem of small horse-drawn carts. Volvo has given a satisfactory answer.

　　As for whether there is anything unsatisfactory about this engine, according to some car owners around me, it may be because of excessive squeezing and high cylinder pressure, and this engine has the problem of burning oil. In addition, spit out Volvo’s engine product line. When is Lao Zhiliu going to use it to change it? (Want to know more about this engine? Poke the link: Volvo 2.0T)

12. No longer relying on others: Jaguar Land Rover Ingenium 2.0T

　　Since Land Rover evoque, Jaguar Land Rover has entered the 2.0T era. However, at the beginning, due to the influence of Ford technology, the 2.0T previously mounted on Jaguar Land Rover models used Ford’s first-generation EcoBoost 2.0T engine. Now that we have bid farewell to the Ford era, the second-generation EcoBoost 2.0T is no longer used by this "married prostitute", which gives Jaguar Land Rover the idea of developing a new series of engines-Ingenium series engines were born with the support of Tata in India.

　　The development focus of this engine is to ensure the power and reduce the energy loss as much as possible. In addition to the mainstream technologies mentioned many times before, the engine adopts the design of electronically controlled flow regulation in oil pump and water pump, and the newly designed balanced shaft ball bearing can also reduce energy consumption. The eccentric crankshaft is also designed to reduce energy consumption as much as possible and make the engine run smoothly and efficiently.

　　Having said so many advantages, we return to a serious topic: quality. I believe that many Jaguar Land Rover owners are worried about the quality control of this car. This new engine has brought a lot of advanced technologies, and the guarantee of reliability will face more severe challenges. So whether it can be done well depends on Jaguar Land Rover’s performance in the future. (Want to know about this engine? Poke the link: Jaguar Land Rover new engine)

13, unwilling to lag behind: Hyundai Theta II improved 2.0T

　　Having said so many 2.0T engines, what are Koreans doing? The general trend is that Koreans who are unwilling to lag behind will naturally develop their own 2.0T engines. Although it doesn’t have such a big limelight as the previous products, it seems that the 2.0T engine developed in modern times is also quite interesting.

　　Theta II improved 2.0T engine is an upgraded product, not a new development. It is based on part of the structural foundation of the old engine, by adding turbocharging and direct injection systems, and making some optimization and improvement designs. Don’t rush to deny this engine yet, because its technology also has some interesting points.

　　In a sense, this engine does have some bright spots, but it is undeniable that this is not a brand-new product. What is the potential of this evolved product to continue technological development in the future? It may all be the problems facing modern times at this stage. (Want to know about this engine? Poke the link: Hyundai 2.0T)

Editor’s summary:

　　Talking and laughing, we took stock of mainstream 2.0T engine products of many overseas brands. Although we may not talk deeply in many aspects, we can always see some trends: the future of 2.0T gold displacement direct injection supercharged engine is great, and various car companies are scrambling to add fresh technology to its 2.0T engine. What is the potential of 2.0T? Not only you and I want to know, but also car companies want to give it a try. In the next issue, we will take stock of some China-branded 2.0T engines. If you have any questions, please come to my editorial blog for further communication. (Text/Figure car home Shu Ning)

　　[car home Engine Technology] In the last issue, we talked about many mainstream overseas brands of 2.0T engines, but in the next issue, let’s stop worshipping foreign things and show you our own 2.0T engines. From my personal feelings alone, like everyone else, I hope that domestic engines can be equally divided with those "foreign powers" and even "abuse them to the north", but what is the truth? Come with me next.

Note: Again, this year-end inventory, please see the officials don’t cause bad influence in the comment area, each engine has its own advantages and disadvantages, please treat it rationally, thank you for your understanding.

● China Group: Some engines are not lost to imported products, and the prospects are bright.

1. Known as the best domestic 2.0T: SAIC 2.0T (Roewe RX5/ MG Ruiteng)

　　In 2014, the "Blue Core" engine series led by SAIC, with Pan Asia in charge of the main R&D and testing, and combined with some general engine technologies, will be gradually put into the brand models of SAIC. Among them, an engine code-named MGE 2.0T was assembled into the recently hot Roewe RX5 model and became the "core good friend" of this car.

　　Indeed, this engine series draws on some technical concepts of general Ecotec, but it is only at the conceptual level. It is completed by Chinese engineers from design and manufacture, technical realization to later development and debugging. That is to say, this 2.0T direct injection system, adjustable intake and exhaust timing, and integrated design of double scroll turbine and valve cover and camshaft cover are all designed and manufactured after considering the current technological level, engine durability and manufacturing cost. It is also known that this engine will be built in the future. Want to know more about this engine? Poke the link: analysis of SAIC 2.0T engine)

　　From a technical point of view, this engine can be regarded as a domestic benchmark, but compared with many overseas most advanced 2.0T engines, there is still room for upgrading in many details design and optimization. As for the fuel consumption, according to the feedback from the forum owners and our long-distance test vehicles, the fuel consumption of this engine (mainly referring to Roewe RX5 and MG Ruiteng) ranges from 10L to 14L, and the more reliable data is 12L, which can only be said that the performance is average, and the combustion efficiency can be optimized in the future. According to reliable sources, this engine will soon replace 4G63S4T used by Zotye and become the main 2.0T engine of some new models of Zotye in the future.

2. Slow and steady play: GAC 2.0T(GS8/GA8)

　　Although they are all "Southern School’s Concept of Building Cars" with relatively technical flow, GAC’s understanding of 2.0T is quite different from that of SAIC: at present, there is no gasoline direct injection system added to GAC’s 2.0T engine. GAC knows very well what they are doing: since I am not fully confident to do a good job in direct injection technology at this stage, I will do an EFI turbine engine in a down-to-earth manner, and optimize fuel consumption as much as possible, with durable leather and enough power.

　　For GAC, the significance of this engine is more to let people recognize the quality of this engine, which is simple enough to be used and repaired, and it is not blindly added in technology. In fact, this turbocharged engine code 4B20M1 2.0T used in Guangzhou Automobile GS8 is not the latest product. It has been assembled on the previous Guangzhou Automobile GA8 for some time and belongs to the second generation of 4B20 engine, which mainly optimizes the valve timing mechanism and engine durability.

　　From the measured results, it is shown that this engine also has a very mild feeling in terms of power output, and the power is sufficient. In addition, because the car model is too new, the actual comprehensive fuel consumption is hard to say for the time being. Finally, I have to spit out that a mature and stable engine, technical conservatism is a measure to ensure reliability, but at this stage it is too low, plus the iron cylinder block. I hope this "mature technology to ensure reliability" is not an excuse for this engine. I also hope that some new technologies popular at present can be put into mass production as soon as possible. After all, technology is improving and many advanced engine technologies are mature enough.

3. The confidence of the national generation: FAW 2.0T (Hongqi H7/ Pentium B90)

　　Speaking of FAW, some words always pop up in our minds from time to time: No.1 Automobile, the earliest automobile enterprise in China. It is true that as a pioneer of domestic cars, not only the motherland has high hopes, but also it carries the dream of making cars of more than one billion people in China. From this point of view, then FAW should set an example in terms of engine accomplishments. Although it is not as advanced as some brands of engines at this stage, this 2.0T engine has indeed achieved the exemplary role of pioneers.

　　Putting aside feelings and returning to the topic, what about this 2.0T engine of Hongqi? The official doesn’t seem to want to disclose too many details about this engine. As far as the information at hand at this stage is concerned, this engine, which was born a few years ago, has reached the level of GAC 2.0T and has been optimized in some details, which is commendable. Like GAC, as an early 2.0T engine product in China, this engine also adopts a relatively conservative technical strategy, which is EFI+iron cylinder block, with adjustable intake and exhaust timing and turbine support, and its power output is relatively soft, which is in line with its positioning on H7. (To learn more about this engine, click the link: Hongqi 2.0T engine)

　　Again, maturity doesn’t mean making excuses for not adding new technology. Cast iron cylinder+EFI is indeed Old Fashioned. Although the official has a prototype of the 2.0T engine blessed by direct injection technology, there is no accurate news about when it will be mass-produced. We should know that many brands of 2.0T engines have entered the second generation era, so it is really time to speed up the research and development of new technologies.

4. Saab technical support: BAIC 2.0T(BJ40/ Saab X65)

　　Speaking of BAIC’s 2.0T engine, there may be an expert friend who will talk about a question: Should BAIC have more than one 2.0T engine? In fact, regarding this conclusion, I also consulted many related engineers and insiders, and got a consensus that there is only one 2.0T engine from the perspective of BAIC brand.

　　Returning to the technology itself, this 2.0T engine (code B201R) used in many Beiqi models is not without a blueprint. If you know where the brand Sic Bo comes from, then you can boldly guess the source of this engine. Yes, a few years ago, Saab from northern Europe filed for bankruptcy protection, and BAIC invested in some technologies in Saab’s hands, including platforms and engines. Then the engine we are going to talk about today is not so much completely independent intellectual property rights as an optimized design based on Saab 2.0T engine. (If you want to know about the turbocharged engine of BAIC Saab technology, poke the old article link: BAIC turbine engine)

　　Since it is a good foundation, is this thing perfect? I don’t think so First of all, it is a big problem whether good things can be adjusted well without rich experience. Besides, this engine was absolutely second to none ten years ago, but now, who doesn’t have a turbocharged engine? Although BAIC has plans to add direct injection technology to it, at present, this engine seems to lack technical highlights except for the double-balanced shaft structure. On the other hand, GM has developed the Ecotec 2.0T engine with Saab technology, and BAIC has to make more efforts.

5. Get rid of Mitsubishi: Great Wall 2.0T(H6 Coupe/H7/H9)

　　Apart from Wuling Hongguang, which car dominates the famous autumn mountain, which other car can dominate in China and hang the same class? Perhaps the title reveals what I want to say. It is no accident that Haval H6 sells well. Even the success of Great Wall Motor is largely due to their "ability to make cars better". I will give you everything you want and I will give you what you expect. Of course, the price is still very cheap. Can it not sell well?

　　Like many car companies at that time, the early Great Wall Motor developed many products relying on Mitsubishi 4G63 engine. Today, Great Wall has its own R&D team, and this self-developed 2.0T engine (code-named GW4C20) has been assembled into many models. Of course, many people will have questions: Is this engine inextricably linked with 4G63? From the results of our existing data, there is no commonality between them (especially in terms of cylinder diameter, stroke and camshaft layout). Even from the perspective of research and development, this engine is much more advanced than 4G63, and even uses integrated design concept and double scroll turbine. (and understand the Great Wall direct injection engine? Poke the old article link: Great Wall Turbine Direct Injection Engine)

　　When it comes to the shortcomings of this engine, it must be that although it has reached the mainstream advanced level, there is still room for improvement in technology, such as how to better optimize combustion efficiency, and the engine technology is so advanced. When can the cast iron cylinder block that is not in line with the times be replaced? Have confidence in your own manufacturing process.

6. The heart of the fastest domestic car: BYD 2.0T (Tang/Song /S7)

　　To say BYD, this brand is definitely one of the China brands that have been pursuing advanced technology for a long time in China. Let’s not talk about the actual performance of the engine, at least we have the confidence to build an advanced domestic direct injection turbine engine, which deserves our praise.

　　Let’s start with our protagonist: the 2.0T direct injection engine code-named BYD487ZQA. This engine basically covers many mainstream engine technologies, such as variable timing adjustment of intake and exhaust, gasoline direct injection technology, single balance shaft and water-cooled turbocharging. It can still be seen that BYD’s level in engine can not be underestimated. The aluminum cylinder block also affirmed its own cylinder block manufacturing process from a certain angle, and BYD engineers said that they still have many directions to develop in the future to make this engine more advanced. (To know about this engine, poke the link: BYD 2.0T engine and wet dual clutch gearbox)

　　I am not a data party, so I don’t comment too much on parameters. So does this engine, which looks like many technologies, have its disadvantages? First of all, from the structural point of view, this engine seems to learn from the structures of Volkswagen EA888 and Volkswagen EA211, but there is still room for improvement in the matching and adjustment of the whole powertrain and gearbox. And from my personal experience, the working noise of the gasoline pump of this engine is indeed a little loud, and even the tonality of some diesel vehicles affects the texture. So is this slightly radical technical solution good or bad? If stability goes up, then advanced technology strategy is certainly a good thing.

7. Rising Star: Changan 2.0T(CS95)

　　Although in the current mass production products, Changan does not have a model equipped with a 2.0T engine, but just a few months later, changan CS95, which has undergone many design improvements, will be on the market, and this car will be equipped with a 2.0T engine of Changan Blue Core series. So what is the technical performance of this new engine?

　　Changan officially declared that this engine belongs to the product of 100% forward development, with good confidence, but we can’t draw a conclusion until we see the structure. In terms of technology, this engine has intake and exhaust timing adjustment, direct injection+turbine, all-aluminum cylinder block, integrated exhaust design, double balance shaft design and thermal management optimization system, and may also support mixed injection (EFI+direct injection) in the future, which seems to be advanced enough.

　　It looks beautiful, but what’s the problem? Still, as mentioned before, although it belongs to the domestic advanced level of 2.0T in terms of technology, I hope this is not the product of stacking technology. Adjustment has always been a shortcoming of many Chinese car companies. In addition, new technology means "new failure" in some aspects. How to make it run efficiently and stably and ensure the production process to meet the design and calibration requirements is a big problem that Changan will face in the future.

8. There are already optimized versions: JAC 2.0T (Ruifeng S5/M5).

　　Different from other brands’ aggressive promotion of their own 2.0T engines, Jianghuai seems to have been quietly equipping its Ruifeng S5 model with 2.0T engines (code-named HFC 4G3-1D), and has quietly optimized and adjusted it (code-named HFC 4G3-4D) and assembled it on MPV models like the new Ruifeng M5.

　　The original design intention of this engine is the same as that of some "conservatives". In order to reduce the cost of engine development and later maintenance, a conservative design and adjustment scheme was adopted. Except for variable timing adjustment of intake and exhaust and integrated design of exhaust manifold, other aspects showed a very common style. Jianghuai thinks that a 2.0T engine, instead of pursuing virtual high power output, should be down-to-earth and start with the most basic engine work-that is, how to make this engine run stably. (To know about this engine, poke the link: Jianghuai 2.0T engine)

　　In fact, these domestic brands with engine technology are nothing more than two ideas: either to be a mature and stable 2.0T engine with little technical content, or to be a 2.0T engine with advanced technology and high power output. Again, there are advantages and disadvantages between them. As for which is good or bad, it depends on your personal needs. Of course, from the perspective of technological progress, many such "conservative" 2.0T engines still need to work hard.

9. Baodao specialty: Dongfeng Yulong Nazhijie (excellent 6/ 7 MPV)

　　As an inseparable part of China, there is actually a 2.0T engine in Baodao Taiwan Province. Since Yulong Automobile and Dongfeng Motor jointly produced Nazhijie brand models, this seemingly special joint venture brand has spared no effort to provide us with their most advanced technology at present.

　　This 2.0T engine is equipped with Nazhijie ECO HYPER technology, that is, an electronic fuel-saving control system, which belongs to a collection of electronic controls and has the functions of starting and stopping the engine. Needless to say, the purpose is natural. In addition, this relatively new engine has finally been upgraded to variable timing adjustment of intake and exhaust, and the cast aluminum cylinder block is also used in the cylinder block material. The sincerity and technology are no less than many domestic 2.0T engines.

　　From these aspects alone, this engine seems not bad, but is it really that good? First of all, through feedback from some riders, we know that this engine is not very good in assembly reliability, and there are many minor faults. In addition, this engine is also conservative in parameter calibration, with a narrow torque output platform. In addition, it uses EFI instead of direct injection or mixed injection, so this engine seems to have many possibilities for improvement. Taiwan Province compatriots should also refuel.

10. China cousins who are not EVO: Southeast, Landwind, Zotye and Cheetah, etc. 2.0T

　　Yes, finally, we will talk about a semi-autonomous engine. Why do you say that? Because we are so familiar with this engine: our ancestors used the indestructible 4G63 and added a turbine. However, today’s protagonist is not the double overhead camshaft 4G63 used in the old EVO, but the Mitsubishi technology engine code-named 4G63S4T.

　　Don’t underestimate this engine. Although it is exhausted from a technical point of view, it does not affect its advantages of stable quality, simple and cheap maintenance, parts all over the country, repair with the deterioration, and reasonable power and fuel consumption. Even if I blow this engine dry, I won’t feel bad, because even if I buy a brand-new 4G63S4T, it is very cheap.

　　Then there is no need to say more about its shortcomings. There is almost no mainstream advanced engine technology. The single camshaft design seems to be the product of the last era, and the turbine lag is also serious. But again, who called it cheap and easy to repair? As a conservative power choice for many brands, it is still very suitable.

Editor’s summary:

　　After taking stock of overseas brands, we see that our own "China 2.0T" is also evolving step by step. Although for some brands, their engines still have some gaps with international standards, it is undeniable that the 2.0T era in China is coming quietly, and many brands have made it clear that they are developing their internationally advanced 2.0T engines. We are looking forward to having our own 2.0T engine that will make the world tremble, and I personally think that it is not far away, knowing that we in China are very diligent and the research and development speed is also very fast. (Text/Figure car home Shu Ning)

● Miscellaneous article: At the request of the readers, after taking stock of China engines, we will dig a little deeper for some 2.0T engines that are of high concern.

1. Mercedes M133 2.0T

　　In the previous article, I wrote about the relationship between Mercedes-Benz M133 and Mercedes-Benz M274. In fact, it is not difficult to understand that Mercedes-Benz will not redevelop an engine for an AMG model with a small output, but will design it based on the original framework. Then some people will ask, to what extent is this "based on the original framework"? According to AMG officials, apart from design dimensions (such as cylinder diameter and stroke) and some external parts (such as generators and starters), there are great differences in manufacturing technology and material selection of parts. And because the engine doesn’t pay much attention to the fuel-saving performance, they also canceled the valve lift adjustment on M274, in order to further reduce the internal resistance of the engine and realize the lightweight design. (Want to know M133? Poke the link: Mercedes-Benz 2.0T AMG engine)

2. Cadillac LTG 2.0T

　　The reason why this engine is concerned by the majority of netizens, I think it may also be because the output parameters are considerable. Indeed, this 2.0T code-named LTG has output parameters beyond the same level, but from its technical point of view, it does not actually show the "international advanced level". Let’s talk about the advantages first: this engine has been optimized in NVH, and the oil pump has realized the flow regulation function controlled by solenoid valve. The crankshaft adopts forging technology and adopts double scroll turbine design, which has many mainstream engine technologies such as intake and exhaust timing adjustment. (For more information about this engine, please poke the link: LTG engine disassembly)

3. Baowo 2.0T

　　In fact, we have been discussing whether this engine is domestic or overseas for a long time. Later, I played a clever trick and put it here. We photographed this engine at the auto show, and I can tell you bluntly here: this is a slightly modified EA888 engine. No matter from the technical or structural point of view, it shows a high degree of consistency with Volkswagen EA888, and also integrates some characteristics of EA211. (To know about Baowo engine, poke the link: Baowo 1.4T/2.0T engine)

Full text summary:

　　After talking about so many 2.0T engines, I believe you are as big as me. Indeed, this displacement has a wide adaptability, and after comprehensive consideration of the 2.0T engine, you will find that this engine is a power system that is extremely suitable for the future trend, and it has advantages that cannot be underestimated whether it is the balance of output power and emissions or the integration with hybrid power systems. Of course, China’s 2.0T engines are also improving step by step, and we are delighted to see that some China brands have their own 2.0T engines that are not lost to overseas brands. I believe that one day, our own China cars will be able to dominate the world’s automobiles and become a national pride industry. (Text/Figure car home Shu Ning)
