　　Paintings by students of Dinghuili Primary School

　　With the attention of the People’s Daily and other media, "The Lonely Brave" is really a hit.

　　The reason why it became popular again was that people suddenly discovered that this online game theme song, which was originally sung by Hong Kong singer Eason Chan, caused a "viral spread" among primary school students who were mainly born after 10, and changed from BGM of various short videos to "joint code" for contemporary primary school students.

　　However, to what extent is The Lonely Brave popular among young people? What kind of transmission path did you follow? What kind of mood of the times is conveyed behind the explosion? Is all this accidental or inevitable?

　　phenomenon

　　"Can all your children sing" The Lone Brave "?"

　　Parents:

　　The lone brave "from person to person"

　　"Your children can sing" the lone brave "? My son can’t sing, will he be isolated? " In a WeChat group that gathered parents of the post-80s generation, some parents asked slightly anxiously. Among the parents and friends who answered him, eight out of ten said, "I can sing." A parent comforted and said, "Don’t worry, your child won’t do it now, but he will in a few days." Indeed, there has been a "human-to-human" phenomenon in the song "The Lone Brave".

　　Liuli overheard her humming the tune of this song on her way home and asked her, "Where did you know this song?" The daughter said, "All the students can sing."

　　A few days later, Liuli listened to her daughter sing the tune of "The Lonely Brave" at home, but the lyrics were slightly different. His daughter told him that it was a "dream version" of The Lone Brave.

　　The original "Lone Brave Man" has been revised several times, and many funny versions have appeared, which are sung among children. The so-called "dream version" is actually a version of the lyrics that dreams of not going to school, not doing homework, eating snacks and playing games.

　　Liuli found that, judging from the reaction of friends in the group, most children in primary school or even kindergarten can sing The Lonely Brave, and even if they can’t sing, they will hum the melody of the climax.

　　At first, some parents thought that their children learned from music lessons, but in the discussion, they found that the songs sung between children did not come from the classroom, but from the Internet.

　　"My children didn’t know it at first, but later they learned it from the children of the big brothers. His children were loosely managed and always went to Tik Tok." A parent gave evidence of his observation. Another parent said that both children in his family can sing "The Lone Brave". The boss learned it from the second child, and the second child played a role-playing game called "Mini World", which contained this song.

　　Parents with a second child found that "The Lonely Brave" was mainly sung in the middle and lower age stages of middle and large classes or primary school students in kindergartens. "My boss is already in the first grade, and it bothers her third-grade brother to hum this song every day."

　　Teacher:

　　Interact with students with The Lone Brave

　　Children’s love for "The Lone Brave" began during the epidemic prevention and control this spring. An ancient teacher in the first grade of a primary school told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that she would play some songs to the students during recess. When asked what songs they wanted to listen to, most of the children would say in unison: "The lone brave."

　　Teacher Gu has heard this song on the Internet before, but I didn’t expect the first-year students to be interested in this kind of pop music. When she plays this song during the break, some children will jump to the rhythm unconsciously, and almost all the boys in the class will sing at the climax.

　　Later, Teacher Gu saw on the Internet that a child used the lyrics of "The Lonely Brave" to check the secret code. She also learned to check with the students several times. "The students will be very happy to cooperate and feel that the teacher is very close to them."

　　Students also have different opinions about why they like the song "The Lonely Brave". Some students say that the lonely brave is an assassin, very elegant and handsome; Some students say that this is a song depicting laborers; Some students said that this is a doctor’s song to kill the virus.

　　The ancient teacher said that from the communication with the students, she felt that the children liked the song "The Lonely Brave", which should have originated from an online video during the epidemic. In the video, a swordsman killed the virus with a sword, and BGM was the song "The Lonely Brave". Therefore, the children think that this swordsman is very brave and has a chivalrous spirit, which can defeat the virus and make everyone’s life return to normal.

　　Liu Ying, a music teacher at Dinghuili Primary School in Haidian District, told Beiqing Daily that she heard the children singing this song in her own music class, and some children mentioned "The Lonely Brave" when sharing their favorite songs.

　　As a music educator, Liu Ying analyzed that the melody of "The Lonely Brave" is very suitable for children to learn to sing, with a fast rhythm and a strong sense of rhythm, which makes children easy to accept, and the rhythm and lyrics are sonorous, giving people an inspiring feeling, which is also in line with children’s psychological expectations when pursuing future hopes.

　　Liu Ying said that what impressed her most was the sentence in the lyrics, "Who said that a hero is standing in the light". Because every child has a heroic dream, this song touched the children’s dreams, and let the children know that heroes are not only firefighters, policemen and doctors, but also teachers and parents around them.

　　Because of the popularity of this song, the music teachers in Dinghuili Primary School also took the song "The Lone Brave" as a project-based learning course for teaching and research. According to the different age groups of students, the teachers asked the students to interpret "The Lone Brave" with different instrumental music and dance methods, which also achieved good art teaching results.

　　spread

　　Topics related to "The Lonely Brave" have rushed to the hot search list several times.

　　Wave 1:

　　After the launch, many stars covered it.

　　In addition to "going out of the circle" among younger people, the popularity of the song "Lonely Brave" on major social platforms has also continued to rise recently, and topics related to "Lonely Brave" have rushed to the hot search list several times.

　　The reporter of Beiqing Daily found that the spread path of the song "The Lonely Brave" can be roughly divided into the following four stages: attracting many entertainment stars to cover, entering the student group, serving as the "joint code" for adults and children, and being named by the mainstream media.

　　On November 8th, 2021, the Chinese theme song "Lonely Brave Man" of the game League of Legends derivative animation League of Legends: Battle of Two Cities was officially launched. The song was written by Tang Tian, composed by Qian Lei and sung by Eason Chan.

　　The reporter of Beiqing Daily found that Phoenix Legend, Angela Zhang, Xin, Tengger singer, A Duo and many other stars had covered "The Lone Brave Man" on the show or in the recording studio only about half a year after the song was launched.

　　In a variety show on Zhejiang Satellite TV, Yang Kun, Rainie Yang and J.zen sang "The Lone Brave", and Weibo’s topic "Yang Kun’s lone brave opens his mouth" was read by 7.888 million people.

　　In the program "Braving the Wind and Waves", Na Ying, Xu Ruyun, Sitar tan and Jessica sang "The Lonely Brave", and Weibo’s reading on three related topics reached 140 million.

　　Wave 2:

　　Infiltrate into the student group

　　While the entertainment circle is "broken", The Lonely Brave is also widely circulated among students. There is a chorus of the whole class, a performance, and a table dance of this song specially arranged by the teacher for the students. The reporter of Beiqing Daily found that as early as mid-March this year, there was a discussion on "Why do primary school students like" The Lone Brave "on the Internet.

　　Until now, you can still see a lot of hot content when you open the major platforms to search for the keyword "The Lone Brave" for primary school students, which is also the most intuitive embodiment of the song "The Lone Brave" successfully entering the student group.

　　The third wave:

　　Become a child’s "joint code"

　　After "The Lonely Brave" became popular among students, the reporter of Beiqing Daily also noticed that many self-media bloggers went to the streets to look for children’s "secret code". Many times, the phrase "I love you to walk alone in the dark alley" just started, and the children began to sing "I love the way you don’t kneel".

　　Interestingly, on April 2, a young man in Kaili, Guizhou Province played drums to exercise his courage at the school gate, but he did not expect to attract a group of primary school students to watch. Later, everyone sang "The Lone Brave" along with the rhythm. The video has 474,000 likes.

　　Wave 4:

　　Be "named" by the mainstream media

　　In addition to the strong communication power of all parties, the attention of major media has also become an important reason why the song "The Lonely Brave" has become popular all over the network. In the past two months, The Lonely Brave has been named by the mainstream media.

　　On May 26th, the People’s Daily official micro published an article entitled "The Solitary Brave Writer Responds to the Struggler who Warmly Moves Forward with Songs as Children’s Songs", and the topic was read 260 million times. On May 8, People’s Daily and many other media released "Nine Ancient Musical Instruments Unlocking the Ancient Style Lonely Brave", with a topic reading of 5.094 million in Weibo; On July 4th, People’s Daily WeChat WeChat official account published a tweet "Why do primary school students love to sing ‘ The lone brave ’ ? ",reading 100,000+.

　　sound

　　Good production, copyright, platform and capital win together.

　　"A song is on fire, and everyone is rushing to make their own version, which is now the norm in the industry." A music industry practitioner told the reporter of Beiqing Daily about the industry logic he observed. "Everyone is rushing to make a flow of money." A short video industry practitioner added.

　　"The lone brave is really a high-quality song. The lyrics and songs are excellent, and the chord direction is not vulgar. " A post-90 s platform musician told the reporter of Beiqing Daily, "It is normal for children to like such positive energy songs. In addition, the Chinese theme song, which was originally the game animation of League of Legends, also covers a large number of gamers. They are all young people and have a great overlap with the student group."

　　Analyzing the reasons for the popularity of this song, all four interviewees said that as the theme song of League of Legends game animation, the popularity of Lonely Brave has a lot to do with the ability of various copyright owners, music platforms and video platforms to spend a lot of money: "Now a song is not popular, 80% depends on money, and 20% depends on luck." The music critic told the reporter of Beiqing Daily, "The copyright competition of the three major Internet companies with music business has become fierce. Many times, everyone will push their own copyrighted songs and give little traffic to competing platforms. This is already a common practice in platform competition. Because every time it is played, there will be a corresponding income. "

　　A short video industry practitioner said, "When a song is hot, online celebrity covers and shoots short videos to get hot, and MCN will throw money at the back to push the content into a larger traffic pool for the sake of traffic. This created the popularity and visibility of the whole network. In the end, this song was heard by primary school students, and they began to sing spontaneously, which was a greater victory for traffic. "

　　Some media also said that the cultural logic of explosive fire is that experienced professionals enter the online pop music arena. "Of course, The Lone Brave can do this because the traditional record industry is behind it. Qian Lei, who has rich production experience and many masterpieces, is the producer, and Tang Tian, a female lyricist with many masterpieces, writes lyrics. Her personal experience of fighting cancer is also well known in the spread of The Lone Brave. In other words, the fire of "The Lone Brave" spread all over the network, and it also means that professionals will leave. " Titanium media reported that.

　　The Lonely Brave carries inspirational genes from its birth.

　　The popularity of "The Lonely Brave" made the original singer Eason Chan somewhat unexpected. He personally sent Weibo and said, "I heard that I sang a children’s song."

　　According to Qin Yanqiong of Nanjing Normal University’s paper "A comprehensive discussion on nursery rhymes — — From Literature to Pedagogy, the word "children’s songs" originated from Zhou Zuoren: "children’s singers, children’s songs, Gu Yan nursery rhymes". Therefore, it is considered that nursery rhymes are the modern names of nursery rhymes.

　　Children’s songs and nursery rhymes are part of folk songs, oral poems created by the general public, and the true reflection of their real life, thoughts, feelings and psychological wishes in rhythmic and musical oral language. The popularity of ballads is actually a form of folk literature expression from ancient times to the present, which is closely related to the historical situation of social development.

　　Chu Zhaohui, an education expert and researcher at the China Academy of Educational Sciences, told the Beijing Youth Daily that children have a stage of growth and development. At the age of 4, it is a critical period for their personality growth and development, and they have obvious perception of the outside world. The popularity of this song is closely related to the external growth environment of minors now.

　　Nowadays, parents and teachers of children mostly urge their children to get better grades, and their emotional needs have not been met. So they need a certain channel to vent, and this song meets this need.

　　"If the emotion is not (satisfied), the child’s life experience will cross the actual age." Chu Zhaohui believes that families and schools should further reduce the pressure on children and let them "return to childhood".

　　Chu Zhaohui said, "Each of our children is like a ball. When you throw it on what kind of wall, it will bounce back. This is a very normal phenomenon and should not be over-interpreted. The song "The Lonely Brave" is a reflection of the emotional state of children. "

　　As a music teacher, Liu Ying also has a social view on the popularity of The Lone Brave. She thinks that good music songs must conform to the social development trend before they can become hot spots.

　　Under the background of the great changes in the past century and the national fight against the epidemic, the forceful rhythm and lyrics full of positive energy conveyed by Lonely Brave bring more encouragement to children growing up in this environment.

　　In addition, Liu Ying believes that there is a touching story behind the song "The Lonely Brave". Tang Tian, the lyricist of the song, is a woman who has been fighting cancer for ten years. She is not only the creator of lyrics, but also the hero of the song story. It can be said that the song "The Lone Brave" has an inspirational gene since its birth.

　　At present, it is impossible to fully count how many versions of this song there are. As many children feel, the lyrics of The Lonely Brave contain courage, blood, comfort and healing. These feelings make this song resonate with more people and give the lonely and brave people room for multiple interpretations.

　　Version evolution

　　Original version: Chinese theme song of the game League of Legends derivative animation League of Legends: Battle of Two Cities.

　　Cover: In 2022, it was successfully "out of the circle" and was covered by many big musicians and famous musicians.

　　Children’s songs: A kindergarten in Xuchang, Henan Province set the Lonely Brave as a wake-up bell; A doctor in Zhuhai, Guangdong, used the "Solitary Brave" to "check the code" to eliminate the fear of the little boy who treated his teeth; In a primary school in Kunming, Yunnan, after a class lost the tug-of-war competition for three years in a row, the teacher sang "The Lone Brave" to motivate the students.

　　Adaptation: Holiday Edition, Homework Edition, Altman Edition and Happy Edition, which are popular among children; It has been changed into an "industry edition" by police, doctors, miners, firefighters, prosecutors and township civil servants.

Our reporter Dong Chang

Isn’t it incredible that gutter oil can not only be refined into biodiesel, but also become aviation kerosene to "fly" to the sky?

On September 18th, in Shenze Economic Development Zone, Hebei Province, the reporter walked into the product testing room of Hebei Huide Renewable Resources Co., Ltd., and Wang Meng, the technical director of the company, was sampling new products in front of the chlorine meter. Looking at the clear and translucent liquid in the glass dish, Wang Meng told the reporter, "This is the bio-aviation kerosene extracted from waste oil, which is colorless and tasteless."

This enterprise is well-known in the field of bioenergy. "We are the largest biodiesel producer in the province. Biodiesel is all refined from waste oil, with an annual output of 120,000 tons, and all products are exported to EU countries." Guo Jihui, the chairman of the company, said that at present, their production process of refining bio-aviation kerosene has completed the pilot test and has the conditions for large-scale production.

As early as the beginning of the factory in 2012, Huide Company aimed at the systematic research and technology development of waste oil resource utilization.

Shenze oil industry came into being with the development of daily chemical industry. As one of Hebei waste oil distribution centers, Shenze can collect more than 1 million tons of raw materials such as waste cooking oil and kitchen waste oil all over the country every year.

Relying on the foundation of local oil industry, Huide Company started with the extraction of epoxy fatty acid methyl ester from waste oil, and went through the process of technological innovation and equipment renewal, from providing bioplasticizers for manufacturers of disposable nontoxic PVC gloves and children’s toys to developing and producing bio-energy products such as biodiesel.

This is a green transformation. Along the way, Guo Jihui was deeply touched by the hardships of breaking through. "Every update link is like breaking through the customs, and every customs is a narrow escape."

"For the production of biodiesel, the waste oil should be heated to the evaporation point first, then condensed and recycled, and then the different components in the oil can be separated." Guo Jihui introduced that at the beginning, they invested more than 4 million yuan to build a new traditional tower distillation production line. After half a year of trial production, it was found that the separation efficiency was poor and the purity of refined fatty acid methyl ester could not meet the requirements.

In Guo Jihui’s view, the production of good products depends on innovation, and innovation cannot be afraid of investment. So, they scraped together nearly 6 million yuan, reluctantly dismantled the tower distillation production line and bought short-range molecular distillation equipment specially used for separation and purification of high-boiling mixtures. By updating the equipment, improving the process, and after repeated tests, Huide’s biodiesel production line finally reached its production capacity successfully.

The breakthrough from "0" to "1" is only the first step for this enterprise to rush to a new track.

Follow Wang Meng into the production workshop and see that the newly collected waste oil is being injected into a large tank, which is about to be pre-treated.

"In the pretreatment stage, we adopted a self-developed enzymatic process. The waste oil can be purified by biological enzyme catalysis, and high-purity fatty acid methyl ester and glycerol can be separated." Wang Meng introduced that with this process, the yield of biodiesel and glycerol can reach 90%, and energy consumption can be reduced by more than 3%.

With the breakthrough of key core technologies, Huide Company has successfully developed a new track for bioenergy industry. In 2022, the company’s annual biodiesel production capacity exceeded 120,000 tons, with an annual output value of 970 million yuan. "At present, the project with an annual output of 400,000 tons of bio-aviation kerosene is about to start construction." Guo jihui introduced.

What makes them even more happy is that the bioenergy industry chain here is accelerating.

In the past two years, Shenze County has seized the opportunity to build a strong new energy province, vigorously cultivated the development of bioenergy industry by gathering high-tech enterprises, improving infrastructure and expanding application scenarios, and has initially formed a whole industrial chain covering the collection and storage of waste oils and fats and the production of industrial-grade mixed oil, biodiesel, bio-aviation kerosene and other products. Up to now, there are 17 bioenergy enterprises in the county, and seven bioenergy projects with a total investment of 3 billion yuan are being accelerated. In the future, the annual production capacity of biodiesel and bio-aviation kerosene in the county will reach 400,000 tons and 700,000 tons respectively.

"Not long ago, Shijiazhuang was selected as a national pilot for the promotion and application of biodiesel, and the application scenarios became more and more abundant. Many foreign companies have come to us to discuss business." Guo Jihui is full of expectations for the future. "With the accelerated gathering of bioenergy enterprises, the industrial chain, supply chain and upstream and downstream regional cooperation in innovation chain will become closer and closer, and the competitive advantage of our products will become more obvious."

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?

Xinhua News Agency, Kunming, July 15th (Reporter Zhao Peiran) On July 15th, the Yunnan Golden Monkey Protection Network was established in Shangri-La, Yunnan Province. The organization was established by Yunnan Forestry and Grassland Bureau in conjunction with a number of non-profit organizations, scientific research and non-governmental organizations to carry out related work to protect the endangered species Yunnan golden monkey.

Yunnan Golden Monkey Protection Network is the first attempt for Yunnan to establish a multi-party joint protection mechanism, build a cooperation platform of "protection priority, sustainable utilization, public participation and resource sharing", and focus on improving the patrol management of monkeys, population monitoring, habitat protection and restoration, research on conservation biology and ecological behavior, development and co-construction of friendly communities, and public publicity.

"Protecting the Yunnan golden monkey population and its habitat is of strategic significance for global biodiversity conservation in maintaining regional species and ecological balance." Xiao Wen, Dean of the East Himalayan Research Institute of Dali University, said that Yunnan golden monkey is a rare and endangered species unique to China, only distributed in a narrow area of about 20,000 square kilometers between Jinsha River and Lancang River, with a population of about 3,000. It is listed as a national first-class key protected animal, an endangered species in the Red List of the World Conservation Union (IUCN), the highest primate in the world, and is called the "national treasure" of China like the giant panda.

Wang Weibin, deputy director of Yunnan Forestry and Grassland Bureau, said that he hoped that through the new forces such as Yunnan Golden Monkey National Protection Network, the wisdom of all parties would be gathered, and the protection ability would be improved in an all-round way with an open attitude and multi-linkage, so as to accumulate experience and set an example for the protection of China’s flagship species.

Wang Weibin introduced that Yunnan Province has successively established four protected areas, including Baima Snow Mountain, Yunlong Tianchi, Lanping Yunling and Lijiang Laojun Mountain, to protect Yunnan golden monkey and its habitat, with a total area of 478,000 hectares, which basically covered the concentrated distribution area of Yunnan golden monkey population. In addition, 990.66 hectares of Yunnan golden monkey habitat outside the protected areas were included in the protection scope, creating good conditions for the recovery and growth of Yunnan golden monkey population.

　　In 1900, at the Paris World Exhibition Center, a prototype engine running smoothly attracted the audience. This is the "father of diesel engine" — — An experiment by Rudolf Diesel. To the surprise of the audience, the fuel used in this engine is peanut oil. This is the initial exploration of the application of biodiesel in the human world. Since then, for a long time, biodiesel can only exist as a "spare tire" for oil because of its high price.

　　It may be difficult for Rudolf Diesel to foresee that, more than 100 years later, in order to achieve the goal of decarbonization, the "flame" of biodiesel development has been ignited all over the world. Nowadays, this "fire" is becoming more and more popular in China.

　　On April 2nd, the National Energy Administration issued the Notice on Publicity of Biodiesel Popularization and Application Pilot, and proposed to support Dezhou City, Shandong Province and other units to carry out the application pilot. It is generally believed in the industry that this marks a "solid step" in the development of biodiesel in China, which will certainly provide a new impetus for the optimization and upgrading of China’s energy structure (300152).

　　Response to the pilot construction in peak carbon dioxide emissions

　　The pilot project of biodiesel popularization and application is generally regarded as an echo of the pilot construction in peak carbon dioxide emissions, China.

　　An industry insider said that the National peak carbon dioxide emissions Pilot Construction Plan included the energy green and low-carbon transformation index, the consumption ratio of non-fossil energy and the recycling rate of renewable resources into the construction reference index. Biodiesel is an internationally recognized green and clean fuel, and the biodiesel currently used in China is a renewable energy mainly produced from biomass such as waste oil. Carrying out relevant pilot projects is conducive to promoting waste recycling, accelerating energy green and low-carbon transformation, and helping to achieve "double carbon".

　　"Compared with traditional petrochemical diesel oil, biodiesel with waste oils from catering and food processing industries can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by about 80%. Promoting and using biodiesel is of great practical significance for increasing the proportion of renewable energy in transportation fuels, reducing greenhouse gas emissions from diesel vehicles, and promoting carbon emission peaking and carbon neutrality. " Li Dingjie, a senior engineer of the Energy Department of the Industrial Development Department of China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation, told the reporter of China Chemical Industry News.

　　In Ji Xing’s view, the promotion of biodiesel is an important way to help the petrochemical industry achieve "double carbon". Especially for traditional petrochemical diesel, adding biodiesel is an effective way to reduce carbon. "Once petrochemical products, especially fuel oil, are manufactured, it is difficult to save energy and reduce carbon by changing the hydrocarbon ratio. To achieve green development, we must change the product structure. Therefore, China promotes ethanol gasoline in the gasoline field and biodiesel in the diesel field to reduce a considerable amount of carbon dioxide. If nearly 200 million tons of petrochemical diesel consumed in China can be converted into B5 diesel by blending biodiesel, the indicators of energy saving and carbon reduction in the diesel field can be almost completed. " Ji Xing said frankly.

　　The pilot covers both production and consumption.

　　The reporter combed and found that there were 22 pilot projects for the promotion and application of biodiesel announced this time. Among them, the vast majority of the pilots are organized by local government departments, such as 17 pilots in Haidian District, Dezhou City, Shijiazhuang City and Qingdao City. According to the reporter’s understanding, most of these pilot areas cover well-known biodiesel enterprises and factories in the industry, such as Rongguang Biotechnology Co., Ltd. in Dezhou, Jinlihai (Group) Company in Tangshan, Zhongke New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. in Wenzhou, Langkun Environment (301305) Group in Guangzhou and Zhuoyue New Energy Co., Ltd. in Xiamen. Therefore, the above pilot projects mainly focus on the production end.

　　Another two pilots are located in related parks, namely Guang ‘an Economic and Technological Development Zone and Zhoushan Free Trade Zone. Guang ‘an Economic and Technological Development Zone has biodiesel production projects, such as Sichuan Jingu environmental protection technology catering waste oil comprehensive utilization project. Relying on Zhoushan Port, the world’s largest port, Zhoushan Free Trade Zone has a large demand potential for biodiesel. In 2023 alone, it completed the first single container ship offshore biofuel filling and the largest single biofuel filling business in China, which may generate a large number of consumer demand in the future.

　　In addition, there are three pilot projects led by enterprises, namely China Ship Fuel Co., Ltd., China Petrochemical Fuel Oil Sales Co., Ltd. and Shandong Expressway (600350) Group. These three companies mainly focus on the consumer side. Among them, the first two companies have begun to explore the bio-ship fuel filling business. In November last year, Sinopec Fuel Oil Guangdong Company, together with Langkun Environmental Group, Guangzhou Public Transport Group, Guangzhou Development (600098) Bibi Oil Depot and other units, completed the first demonstration of B5 diesel oil filling on water in the domestic inland river shipping field; China Shipbuilding has signed strategic cooperation agreements with some domestic first-line biodiesel suppliers. Shandong Expressway Group owns subsidiaries such as Shandong Expressway Rail Transit Group, Shandong Bohai Bay Port Group and Shandong Expressway Logistics Group, and has rich fuel application scenarios. In addition, Shangao Huaneng (000803), a subsidiary of Shandong Expressway Group, is also a leading enterprise in the resource utilization of kitchen waste oil in China.

　　"From this promotion and application pilot, the enthusiasm of local governments has been greatly taken care of. The local oil waste can be provided to biodiesel enterprises, and the products will be used by local traffic vehicles. In addition, in addition to the raw material production end, the application of B5 diesel and B24 diesel is also taken care of. For example, China Petrochemical’s Fuel Oil Company participated in this event, China Shipburning also participated, and Shandong Expressway also participated, basically forming a ‘ Line ’ 。” Ji Xing told reporters that according to the Notice of the National Energy Administration on Organizing the Pilot Demonstration of Biodiesel Promotion and Application issued in November last year, the important contents of the pilot include: promoting vehicle biodiesel in pilot areas, industries, enterprises and highways, and promoting the application of marine biodiesel in bonded areas, free trade zones and inland rivers, lakes and waterways. According to the publicity, the pilot basically covers the production end and application end, and it is expected to explore the establishment of a replicable and scalable development path and policy system, and gradually form a demonstration effect and scale effect.

　　"Shanghai practice" provides useful experience

　　In the interview, many people in the industry mentioned that since 2005, China has been promoting biodiesel for nearly 20 years. In the meantime, the development of biodiesel in China has gone through the stages from policy encouragement to regional practice and then to national pilot promotion. However, due to the shortcomings of raw material supply, market mechanism, promotion and use, the biodiesel industry has been "tepid".

　　"Around 2005, China started the pilot promotion of biodiesel. The main purpose at that time was to ensure energy security and replace supplementary fuel in many ways. But at present, except Shanghai, a relatively perfect ‘ Receiving, transporting, handling, adjusting and using ’ Outside the industrial system, it has not been promoted elsewhere. " An industry expert said.

　　The lack of raw materials with stable supply and price is considered to be one of the important reasons for "not popularizing". On the one hand, the development of biodiesel in China adheres to the principle of "not competing with people for grain and not competing with grain for land", but the construction of non-grain raw materials is not as good as expected, which indirectly leads to the failure of the industry to achieve better development. "At that time, China was still planting Jatropha curcas in Yunnan, trying to develop biodiesel from non-edible oils such as tung oil and oil palm, but it failed to form a scale." Li Dingjie said that, on the other hand, the kitchen waste oil has many sources, is widely distributed, is difficult to collect, and requires high management ability. Some places that do not have the conditions have failed to establish a perfect recycling system, resulting in a stable supply of raw materials.

　　"From the market point of view, it is not that it is impossible to promote biodiesel in China, but that the methods of promoting biodiesel need to be improved. It’s like Niu Gengdi, you have to put two cows in the right position, or else ‘ Fight ’ Either you can’t find the direction. " Ji Xing believes that in order to do a good job in the pilot application of biodiesel, it is necessary to combine policy with market, and the promotion practice of biodiesel in Shanghai has provided a good example.

　　"Shanghai is well designed in the collection, transportation and treatment of kitchen waste, the cost accounting of biodiesel production process, the price of biodiesel entering the market after modulation, and the distribution of vehicle refueling, so it was made at once." Ji Xing said that in September 2023, the National Energy Administration held a pilot promotion meeting for biodiesel in Shanghai to study and investigate the experience of promoting and applying biodiesel in Shanghai.

　　"From the current point of view, catering waste oil is a realistic and feasible resource choice for biodiesel." Li Dingjie said that this year, the National Energy Administration launched a pilot project to support the application and promotion of the Shanghai model in areas with conditions and willingness.

　　In view of how to promote the pilot project of biodiesel in an orderly manner, Li Dingjie suggested: "First, establish a sound storage and processing chain for kitchen waste oil; Second, there must be qualified enterprises that can produce biodiesel; The third is to ensure the sales channels of biodiesel and establish a mechanism associated with refined oil sales enterprises; The fourth is to guide consumers to use biodiesel and raise green awareness through publicity. "

　　Ji Xing made three suggestions.

　　The first is to establish a national waste collection mechanism. "At present, there are 100 pilot cities for kitchen waste in China, and 86 of them have actually passed the acceptance. At present, there are 230 prefecture-level cities left in China ‘ Blank ’ We must take the time to collect kitchen waste. " Ji Xing suggested that the scope of recycling should also be expanded, from the current restaurants, hotels and other places to schools, families and residential areas. He believes that if all areas and oil sources are covered, the total amount of recycled kitchen waste oil in China is expected to reach 10 million tons/year.

　　The second is to strengthen the promotion of application scenarios. Ji Xing suggested that the high-quality development of Yangtze River shipping can be combined with the application of marine biodiesel to reduce the cost of transformation and realize energy saving and carbon reduction. In addition, it can also strengthen the application of biodiesel in trucks and vehicles in high altitude areas.

　　The third is to expand the scope of consumption as soon as possible. In addition to the three pilot enterprises, more oil companies can participate and open up the demand space for biodiesel.

As for the power system that everyone cares about, the official has not given clear information at present, and it is expected that it will continue to carry the 2.0T gasoline engine and diesel engine of the current model.

Zotye A16/B21

Zotye Auto, which has been silent for a long time, has finally brought us two brand-new models, A16 and B21. Both models use Zotye’s latest design concept of "Taoism, Nature, Wisdom and Beauty" in the brand-new 3.0 era. Although the name of this design concept is a bit confusing, the actual effect is quite satisfactory, at least with high originality.

Like this A16, the front face not only uses split headlights, but also has a thick chrome-plated decorative strip in the middle of the front. The front of the car alone has a high degree of recognition.

Zotye B21 also uses the same design language, but compared with Zotye A16 above, this B21 looks more harmonious. The use of a large number of horizontal lines in the front of the car makes the front face more low and wide, and the tail adopts the design of sliding back. The popular through taillights can also be found on it. This design is believed to attract many consumers to pay attention to this Zotye B21.

Baw shenbao zhida

As the third model of Beijing Auto Smart Series, Beijing Auto Zhida adopts the same design language as Zhixing and Zhidao in appearance.

Liebao Coupe

Cheetah Coupe has many popular design elements in today’s automobile circle, such as split headlights, large mouth air intake grille, sliding back body shape, etc. Personally, I think this Cheetah Coupe is still good in face value and has its own characteristics.

Careful, you may find that the Cheetah Coupe uses the brand-new Logo released by Cheetah. The new logo is like a "leopard head". I believe everyone will think that the new logo is more in line with Cheetah.

Lu feng Rong Yao

At first glance, I really felt that the exterior shape of this model was a bit strange. Although the large mouth grille and split headlights were used, it gave people the feeling that it was not harmonious, which may be that I couldn’t appreciate it.

However, the interior design of Lufeng Rongyao has made me feel very good. The color matching of beige+brown carriages has a good visual effect, at least not losing the tonality of rivals at the same level. But can you conquer the world by a beautiful interior?

Dongfeng scenery 580 Pro

Since the name of this car is Dongfeng Scenery 580 Pro, should it be strengthened than the cash Scenery 580? Yes, the front face and tail of Scenery 580 Pro have been completely redesigned, and the whole appearance is more fashionable and sporty. More importantly, Scenery 580 Pro will also launch a model equipped with 6AT gearbox to provide consumers with more choices.

New BMW X3 M/X4 M

Audi Q2L e-tron

You don’t have to guess, just look at the name and you will know that this is the pure electric version of Audi Q2L, so I won’t say much about the appearance of this Q2L e-tron. Let’s go straight to the topic and talk about the power system. The Q2L e-tron is equipped with an electric motor that can explode 136 horsepower, and the official said that its cruising range is about 500 kilometers.

Beijing Benz -EQC

EQC is the first domestic pure electric vehicle launched by Mercedes-Benz in China. Everyone is curious about what kind of pure electric vehicle Mercedes-Benz can build in a century. Let’s talk about the appearance first. The domestic EQC does not adopt an overly avant-garde and radical design, and the overall shape still retains the unique luxury atmosphere of Mercedes-Benz models.

In terms of power, the domestic EQC has placed a drive motor on the front and rear axles, with a comprehensive horsepower of 408 horsepower and a cruising range of 415 kilometers under comprehensive working conditions.

SAIC-GM Cadillac XT6

As a medium and large SUV, Cadillac XT6 has a length of more than 5 meters, and it is not too much to say that it is a strong man. Thanks to its good design, Cadillac XT6 does not feel bloated in appearance, but gives people a good sense of strength.

Lincoln’s brand-new aviator is equipped with a 3.0T twin-turbo engine, and the transmission system is matched with a 10-speed automatic gearbox. Lincoln Aviator will also launch a plug-in version with a hybrid system consisting of a 3.0T engine and a motor.

Dongfeng fengshen new AX5

There are two main changes in dongfeng fengshen’s new AX5 compared with the current model. First, the front face has undergone a new design, and the X-shaped front face looks more dynamic. Second, the 1.4T engine code-named DFMA14T is replaced, and the maximum horsepower is reduced by 7 horsepower compared with the current model, only 133 horsepower. It seems that this is an adjustment made to meet the national six emissions.

Dongfeng fengshen AX7 FCV

Dongfeng fengshen AX7 FCV adopts a hydrogen fuel cell system, which is rare in the domestic new energy market. Although we don’t know whether this model will be put on the market eventually, at least let us see dongfeng fengshen’s efforts in the field of new energy vehicles, and we should give it a compliment.

Baw new energy EC5

Beiqi New Energy EC5, which locates a small pure electric SUV, uses the family design of Beiqi New Energy in appearance, and the overall design is simple and fashionable. Personally, I think the biggest selling point of BAIC New Energy EC5 is cruising range. The cruising range of BAIC New Energy EC5 is 403km under NEDC working conditions, which still has certain advantages compared with competitors at the same level.

Han Teng X8

Hanteng Auto brought us a hard product this time-Hanteng X8. Hanteng X8 Positioning is a medium-sized SUV, which uses a large number of straight lines in appearance, giving people the first impression that it is very tough. Everyone may be very concerned about what kind of power system will be used in this Han Teng X8. Unfortunately, the official has not given any news. It seems that more mystery should be reserved for the Han Teng X8.

China V7 1.8T Sports Edition

Let’s take a look at how sporty this Chinese V7 1.8T sports version is. In addition to the chrome-plated decoration on the front face and tail cloth, this exhibition car is designed in black and looks more dynamic.

New MINI CLUBMAN

The new MINI CLUBMAN has mainly made preferential adjustments in details. The place where you can tell its identity best is the LED taillight with the miter flag at the tail, which looks more British. But didn’t you buy a MINI because it was petite and cute? Is it really good to start a MINI CLUBMAN?

Renault K-ZE production version

Renault K-ZE is a compact electric SUV. Apart from the exterior interior, the official did not give more information about this car. However, there is a very interesting place. Renault K-ZE will be produced in China and exported to major markets around the world.

DS 3 Crossback E-Tense

Looking at the name of this roundabout, you should be able to guess that it is a new energy model of DS 3 Crossback, which will be equipped with a power battery with a capacity of 50kWh. The official claims that its NEDC cruising range can reach 450 kilometers.

DS 7 Crossback E-Tense

Don’t be smart enough to think that this is a pure electric model. In fact, it is a plug-in version of DS 7 Crossback. The new car will be equipped with a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 1.6T engine and a battery pack. The comprehensive horsepower of this system reaches 296 horsepower and the pure electric cruising range is 50 kilometers. It is reported that DS 3/DS 7 Crossback E-Tense will be introduced into the domestic market in the form of imports in 2020.

2019 DS6

What’s the substantial difference between the 2019 DS6 and the old one? Then I thought about it, but I really didn’t. The change of the new DS6 is that it can meet the emission standard of China 6, and then the light group and rim of the appearance are slightly adjusted. The remaining change is to add a new paint color. The 2019 DS6 will be launched in June this year. It doesn’t matter. I know you don’t intend to buy it.

Car article

GAC Chuanqi brand new GA6

At present, there are not many independent brands that insist on making cars. GAC Chuanqi is one of the few car companies. The appearance of the new GA6 also gives consumers who want to buy medium-sized cars a brand-new choice.

The new GA6 adopts Chuanqi’s latest family design. The movement of a large number of horizontal lines on the front face widens the visual effect of the front of the car, giving people a low sense of squatting. With the unique design on both sides of the front bumper, the new GA6 is more sporty. As for the tail, the new GA6, like Chuanqi GM6 and GS5, adopts a penetrating taillight design, so the recognition is needless to say. Just the new GA6 high-value design can attract the attention of many consumers.

A new generation of BMW 3 Series

I believe everyone has already seen what the new BMW 3 Series looks like. Although the new BMW 3 Series made in China has undergone earth-shaking changes in appearance, it is still our familiar BMW 3 Series, and the front and rear weights of the car body are still 50:50. At the same time, it will also provide a standard axis version and a long axis version like the current models.

In terms of power, the new domestic BMW 3 Series long-axis model will be equipped with B48B20B 2.0T engine, and the maximum horsepower will still be 184 horsepower, but it can meet the national six emissions. The transmission system is still the familiar 8-speed automatic manual transmission. I’m as curious as you are whether the sports talent of the brand-new 3 Series made in China will be further reduced, and we won’t know until after the test drive.

BYD e2

As the second model of BYD E series, BYD e2 is positioned as a pure electric hatchback. In appearance, BYD e2 adopts BYD’s "Dragon Face" design element, and the closed air intake grille is decorated with lattice chrome, which looks more unique. I believe that the high-value appearance will become a big selling point.

Dongfeng Nissan brand-new sylphy

Isn’t this a heavenly sound? When I saw a new generation of Sylphy produced by Dongfeng Nissan, I had the same feeling as you. With the new Sylphy designed by the family, it looked like a miniature version of Scorpio. It seems that Sylphy, which has always been known for its comfort, will also take the sports route.

SAIC Volkswagen brand new Polo Plus

As the replacement model of the current Polo, the new Polo Plus basically retains the design of overseas models, which is not only more fashionable and sporty, but also larger in body size. The wheelbase of the new Polo Plus is increased by 94mm compared with the current model, which is expected to bring more interior space.

In terms of power, the new Polo Plus continues to be equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, and the transmission system is matched with a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic manual transmission.

Dongfeng yueda Kia brand new K3

Kia K3, which has served for many years, has finally been replaced. This time, Dongfeng yueda Kia has brought us a brand-new K3 PHEV model. With the unique big mouth on the front face and penetrating taillights at the rear, the new K3 has become more radical. In terms of power, the new K3 gasoline version is equipped with 1.4T and 1.5L engines.

SAIC Roewe i5 GL

This Roewe i5 GL can be said to be a sports version of Roewe i5, because it is replaced with a black sports suit on the basis of the current Roewe i5, and the headlight group, air intake grille, fog lamp group decorative parts, rims, taillights, etc. are blackened, adding a stronger sporty atmosphere, and the interior and power are the same as those of the existing models. The Roewe i5 GL after changing into a sports kit is believed to attract the attention of many consumers.

SAIC MG 2019 MG 6

To be honest, in fact, this 2019 MG 6 doesn’t have many bright spots. The overall design basically retains the design of the current model, except for the addition of a model equipped with Trophy’s exclusive black knight sports kit and the replacement with a 1.5T engine that meets the national six emission standards. Other places have not changed. Shouldn’t the MG 6, which had poor sales, push the new model with big moves? I really can’t understand the routine of SAIC MG.

New Mercedes-Benz Class B

After putting on the latest family design of Mercedes-Benz, the new generation of Mercedes-Benz B-Class got rid of the bloated shape of the current model, the whole body was more low-moving, and Mercedes-Benz was proud of the big screen. It seems that this new B-Class has finally kept pace with the times.

The new B-Class will be equipped with a 1.3T four-cylinder engine with high and low power tuning, with a maximum horsepower of 163 horsepower and 136 horsepower respectively. The transmission system is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox.

Domestic Mercedes -AMG A 35 L

As the first Mercedes -AMG domestic model, AMG A 35 L has attracted the attention of many fans. First of all, of course, because of its powerful power, AMG A 35 L is equipped with a 2.0T four-cylinder turbocharged engine with a maximum horsepower of 306 horsepower and a peak torque of 400 Nm. Secondly, of course, will the price of AMG A 35 L be lower after domestic production? More close to the people? These two points alone make the domestic AMG A 35 L bring its own traffic.

Auchan E01

Auchan E01 is a miniature electric vehicle with full personality, which not only looks fashionable and avant-garde, but also has a higher turn-back rate due to the design of two doors. Thanks to the good vehicle layout, the height of Auchan E01 has been well controlled, which is also rare for a two-door micro electric vehicle.

Lingke 03 PHEV

However, it is the plug-in version of the Lectra 03. The appearance of the Lectra 03 PHEV naturally continues the design of the fuel version, and even the exhaust layout of the two sides at the tail of the fuel version has been preserved. Lectra 03 PHEV is equipped with a hybrid system consisting of a 1.5T three-cylinder engine and motor, with a combined maximum horsepower of 256 horsepower and an acceleration time of 7.3 seconds per 100 kilometers. As for the cruising range that everyone cares about, the cruising range of the LEEK 03 PHEV pure electric vehicle is 51km.

Dongfeng Peugeot 508L PHEV

Dongfeng Peugeot 508L PHEV continues the design of the fuel version in terms of appearance and interior, but the power system has changed. It is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 1.8T engine and a motor, in which the maximum power of the gasoline engine is 200 HP and the maximum power of the motor is 109 HP. The official said that the comprehensive cruising range of this model will reach 50km in pure electric mode.

Mini 60th Anniversary Edition

In order to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the original MINI, MINI launched the 60th anniversary edition of MINI COOPER and Cooper S. The commemorative edition was based on the current MINI, and only the details of appearance were adjusted, such as the unique flower sticker on the hood and the front fender decoration, which made the 60th anniversary edition of MINI more personalized.

BMW 8 Series Convertible Edition

The BMW 8 Series convertible version continues the design of the hard top version in appearance, except that the roof uses a brand-new soft top convertible mechanism. With the blessing of the soft-top convertible, the value of the BMW 8 Series convertible is naturally improved, but when the convertible mechanism is opened, the whole appearance is not coordinated with the hard-top version after the convertible mechanism is closed. If I choose, I will choose the BMW 8 Series hard-top version.

Maserati’s new Ghibli

Since it is a new model, you don’t have to expect much changes in Maserati’s new Ghibli. It is mainly optimized in appearance and interior details, and the car system has also been upgraded. The power system is still equipped with the familiar 3.0T twin-turbo engine, but the engine can meet the Euro 6 C stage emission standards after optimization.

Zotye EZ500

The EZ500 based on Zotye Z500 has obvious changes. Put on a closed front face, replace the engine with a motor, and then find a place to place the battery pack, and Zotye EZ500 was born. According to the official description, the NEDC cruising range of Zotye EZ500 is 401km.

Other models

Guangqi Honda Odyssey Sharp Hybrid

Compared with the fuel version, the front face of Odyssey Sharp Hybrid has been optimized, which not only highlights the identity of its hybrid model, but also injects more youthful atmosphere. Odyssey Sharp Hybrid is equipped with an i-MMD hybrid system consisting of a 2.0L engine, dual motors and battery packs, just like the Accord Sharp Hybrid. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology gives that the comprehensive fuel consumption of this Odyssey Sharp Hybrid is only 5.8L/100km.

You may worry that after using the hybrid system, the battery pack will occupy the interior space, but the battery pack of the Odyssey Rui hybrid model is placed under the front seat and will not affect the interior space.

Byd song MAX EV

Some time ago, Song MAX DM was officially listed, and this time BYD brought us Song MAX EV at the Shanghai Auto Show. Song MAX EV continues the design of the fuel version in appearance, but the front face recently adopted the exclusive armored air intake grille of the Dynasty family pure electric vehicle, highlighting its unique identity.

Audi brand new A6 Avant

The new A6 Avant is very close to the new Audi A6L in appearance, but it has changed from a sedan of the Audi A6L to a touring car. The slender and dynamic side face has made many crock fans want to stop. The new A6 Avant trunk space can be flexibly changed between 565L and 1680L, which is the unique highlight of the station wagon.

Jeep Gladiator

Jeep Gladiator is built on the same platform of a new generation of herdsman, and its appearance design also adopts the design elements of a new generation of herdsman, except that there is a cargo box at the rear of the car body, so many fans also call this Jeep Gladiator the herdsman pickup version. In terms of power, Jeep Gladiator will provide a 3.6-liter V6 gasoline engine and a 3.0-liter V6 diesel engine. Well meet the needs of all off-road gods.

P.S. Some pictures come from the Internet.

　　After the brand’s first new energy model eπ 007, which was officially released in the first quarter of this year and began to be delivered at the end point, the brand’s second new energy model will also be officially unveiled to the public at the Beijing Auto Show next week, and is expected to be officially delivered in June this year.

　　Unlike the e π 007, a coupe-style new energy medium and large-scale car with a relatively younger positioning and more trendy fashion attributes, the e π 008, the second model brought by Dongfeng Yipai with the mission of brand upward, is positioned as a "family intelligent large SUV". It has a 5002mm car length, a 3025mm wheelbase and a 2 + 2 + 2 large six-seat layout, and will provide two power options: pure electric version and extended range version.

　　Exquisite appearance has many technical attributes:

　　In terms of exterior design, the eπ 008 can be said to be unambiguous from the whole to the details. First of all, the length of more than 5 meters and the wheelbase of 3 meters bring enough volume, while the consideration and carving of the drag coefficient of only 0.268 makes the whole car look elegant and not clumsy. It is reported that the new car will offer 6 exterior colors to choose from.

　　In terms of details, a smart starlight grille that supports a variety of rhythmic display effects, coupled with a through-type headlight composed of 536 LEDs that echoes back and forth, and a charging indicator at the D-pillar position fully demonstrate the romantic and technological attributes of this mainstream family car positioning model.

　　Comfort seriously in "volume":

　　As a new model that focuses on mainstream family car users and needs to take care of the needs of the whole family, the eπ 008 naturally cannot be vague in terms of space comfort.

　　First of all, the 5002mm*1972mm*1732mm’s large body and short front and rear overhang design bring more ample three-row six-seat driving space under the long wheelbase of 3025mm. The first two rows of seats can be used for occupants with a height of 1.9 meters, while the third row can also be used for two occupants with a height of 1.72 meters.

　　In terms of comfort configuration, the eπ 008 is equipped with a rare dual-purpose removable refrigerator (adjusted at 5-50 ° C) for models in the same price level, a 15.6-inch large-size smart rear entertainment screen that can support the front and rear "one-click fly screen", and a WANOS panoramic music cockpit with 20 speakers as standard in the whole car. Zero gravity seats, 21-inch brand silent tires (Continental EcoContact 7) and other configurations that help improve driving convenience and comfort further highlight the eπ 008’s serious focus on the "roll" side.

　　Intelligence does not dare to neglect:

　　The intelligent aspect now seems to have become an indispensable characteristic of new energy products, and the eπ 008, which is positioned as a "home smart large SUV", does not dare to neglect it. It has done its homework from intelligent configuration to intelligent driving system.

　　Entering the car, the first is the eπ 008’s SOA smart cockpit that supports multi-scene customization. It can be customized for background music, fragrance and other options in advance, and it is convenient to switch between scenes such as short meditation or lunch break during use.

　　Secondly, it is an intelligent voice interaction system that can realize full voice control of the car-machine interface and support multiple dialects. The quick response and compatibility of eπ 007 in this regard have been preliminarily verified and affirmed.

　　Thirdly, as an important part of the intelligent driving system, high-speed NOA pilot assisted driving and 400-meter over-the-horizon memory parking and other functional configurations have also appeared. Configurations such as non-sensory Bluetooth key, 9.2-inch streaming media rearview mirror, OMS gesture recognition + occupant recognition have further improved the technological intelligence of the vehicle.

　　Interior health and safety highlights:

　　In terms of body safety, the high-strength steel of the cage-type body structure eπ 008 accounts for 70.8%, and the weight of thermoforming applications accounts for 19.1%.

　　Among them, 1500 MPa ultra-high-strength steel plates are used in the key passenger compartment area of the new car.

　　In addition, the new car is equipped with 6 airbags as standard, and is given an integrated through-type air curtain across one to three rows of sides. In terms of battery safety, the Mach E battery, which once attracted a lot of attention with the "land, sea and air three-habitat test", has multi-dimensional safety assurance.

　　It is worth mentioning that in terms of interior health and safety details, the new car also fully adopts the baby-friendly safety interior of the silicone soft package, which forms a good match with the antibacterial microfiber PU leather material.

　　Competitive driving control:

　　Eπ 008 is based on the brand’s full-stack self-developed Dongfeng Quantum Architecture No. 2 platform, a new generation of intelligent electric architecture. The pure electric version has a cruising range of 636km and a low energy consumption performance of 14.7kWh/100km. The extended-range version with Mach 1.5T hybrid special engine has a comprehensive range of 1300km and a feed fuel consumption level of 5.55L/100km.

　　In addition, the in-wheel motor technology based on the quantum architecture platform and the support for the 800V fast charging platform for the whole vehicle will give the new car a stronger competitive advantage in terms of the convenience of energy replenishment and energy consumption.

　　Summary:

　　With the launch of the eπ 008, it can be said that Dongfeng’s independent camp has further improved its layout in the new energy market. And if the eπ 007, the first medium and large new energy model of Dongfeng Yipai, sitting on the scissor door and coupe positioning, attracts a relatively younger consumer group, then the launch of the eπ 008, which is expected to be officially unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show, for mainstream household users, fully reflects the factory’s hope to complete the brand’s move to a higher level through the launch of "high-value boutique cars" and the determination to win sales by building a hit.

　　On December 16, 2024, the 11th China Automobile Industry Annual Contribution Award – Xuanyuan Award Ceremony was held at the China Chegu International Sports and Cultural Exchange Center in Wuhan Economic and Technological Development Zone.

　　The Xuanyuan Award was jointly initiated by the Automotive Business Review and the Austrian EFS in 2013. Adhering to the "three independence" award criteria of independence from business, independence from power, and independence from relationships, global experts selected China’s Car of the Year, seeking samples of China’s auto industry contributions, so as to promote new cars forward.

　　75 models were submitted, and after the initial evaluation, 40 shortlisted models gathered at the Wuhan Intelligent Connected Vehicle Test Ground. After four rigorous tests and tests of dynamic and static, cockpit ecology and intelligent interaction, intelligent driving experience and scene experience, a total of 25 models entered the final evaluation.

　　On December 15, the members of the Xuanyuan Award jury gave the final evaluation of 25 models, and the entire selection process was highly discussed.

　　Dr. Jia Ke, director of the Xuanyuan Awards executive committee, editor-in-chief of the Automotive Business Review and principal of Xuanyuan School, said: "For all winning models, the judges can abstain from voting, and there can be no negative votes. As long as one judge votes against, we continue to discuss until we have a list that everyone agrees on. Our judging process is also a discussion process, during which we can gain a deeper understanding of the industry."

　　Finally, the list of winners of the 2024 Xuanyuan Award was grandly announced.

　　Xuanyuan Award TOP10 Model of the Year: Ideal L7, NIO ES6, Jietu Traveler, Xiaopeng G6, MG Cyberster, Warrior 917, Lynk & Co 08 EM-P, Dark Blue S7i, Lantu Chasing Light PHEV, SAIC-GM Wuling Colorful Fruit; Xuanyuan Award Special Award: Excellent Iteration Award – New Lantu Dreamer, Brand Enhancement Award – Nezha S, Rookie Award – Jiyue 01, Scene Innovation Award – Extreme Fox Auto Koala; Xuanyuan Award Nominated Model of the Year: Zhiji LS7, Gahe HiPhi Y, Extreme Krypton X, GAC Trumpchi New Energy E9, Wei Brand Alpine DHT-PHEV, Haobo GT, Haval Raptor SAIC-GM Wuling Baojun Cloud, Geely Galaxy L7, Wenjie New M7, Feifan F7.

　　Unexpectedly, the 2024 Xuanyuan Award Car of the Year was vacant. This was the first time the Xuanyuan Award had been vacant in 11 years. Why did this happen? The answer will be revealed later.

　　This year’s Xuanyuan Award Ceremony has added a new link, which is to share the product highlights and product trends discovered by the Xuanyuan Award in the annual evaluation with the industry.

　　The Xuanyuan Award judge, Professor Ma Jun from the School of Automobile and School of Design and Creativity of Tongji University, shared "The Development Trend of Intelligent Cockpit and New Methods of Product Development". He believes that next year, the big model will be a battleground for military experts, and car companies must do it. They are doing an evaluation system for the big model around the evaluation of the user experience of the big model, the evaluation of the risk of human-machine interaction and the evaluation of safety.

　　The Xuanyuan Award judge, founder and CEO of Heduo Technology, Ni Kai, released the Xuanyuan Award smart driving test report. This smart driving evaluation is divided into four categories: basic driving, high-end driving, basic parking and high-end parking. In terms of driving, the scores of new power brands, independent new brands and traditional independent brands are equidistant; in terms of parking, new power brands and independent new brands do not reflect advantages. On the contrary, many traditional independent brands have achieved good results.

　　Zhang Xiaoliang, a Xuanyuan judge and founder and CEO of SoCar Product Strategy Consulting, shared the trends of the Xuanyuan Awards annual evaluation scene experience. "We saw a lot of things from this year’s review that we haven’t seen before, and these things mean that we are going to carry out a new round of innovation in another direction," he said. "Whether these innovations must have logic and can stand the long-term test of the market will take some time to sort out, and may bring more input to our next stage of core scenarios and killer scenarios."

　　Du Fang, representative of Xuanyuan Award test partner and product director of PATEO, brought the sharing of Xuanyuan Award’s annual test smart cockpit field. The overall trend this year is to face a more hardcore, more delicate, and more connected scene experience, with enhanced scene capabilities and more technology and intelligent blessings. She also put forward some anticipated future trends: the application of large models in the automotive field will become a new trend next year. Whether the natural interaction of multi-modal cockpit will surpass the mobile phone interaction to become a better interaction pattern, the global integration of cockpit, smart driving and vehicle capabilities will bring great challenges.

　　2024 The 11th Xuanyuan Awards annual evaluation smart driving list was released simultaneously, and outstanding cases of smart driving, smart cockpit and scene experience were also revealed one by one.

　　There was also a very interesting part of the scene. Minh Cao, an EFS AI expert, used AIGC to generate a set of design drawings of the concept car based on the design features of the top 10 models of the 2024 Xuanyuan Award. In this regard, Wang Xuanzheng, a professor at the Central Academy of Fine Arts and a judge of the Xuanyuan Award, asked: "If all our designs are exactly as expected, what role should the user play in the whole system? Where should our emotions and personalities be placed?"

　　Finally, he commented: "Today, no matter what, we always firmly believe that AI is a tool, not a complete solution. Of course, it must be our interesting minds and souls behind deciding whether it is a tool or a solution."

　　The only vacancy in the history of the Xuanyuan Award was a unanimous decision by the Xuanyuan Award Executive Committee and the jury members.

　　Truls Thorstensen, chairperson of the Xuanyuan jury and president and CEO of Austria’s EFS Automotive Enterprise Consulting, said: "If the models we tested this year were in previous years, each model would have the ability to win the final prize."

　　But at the same time, he pointed out that this year’s automotive products have shown a trend of homogeneity; compared with last year’s products, this year’s automotive products are less daring to try new things; compared with previous years, this year did not see some very good product performance.

　　Vacancies do not mean a decline in the product and automotive industry, but rather they are generating greater energy, more potential innovation, and better products for the future.

　　On the basis that there is no model of the year for the 11th Xuanyuan Awards, we put forward the "Xuanyuan Ten Questions":

　　Jia Ke said that the "Xuanyuan Ten Questions" posed a big "question mark" for the Chinese auto industry, and this question mark is the question mark at the peak.

　　"In the new track of new energy intelligent networked vehicles, we are the vanguard in the world. In a sense, we still followed Tesla, seized the opportunity very closely, and made a lot of innovations in applications. Today, many of our cars have far exceeded the previous standards. We have climbed from the bottom of the mountain to the mountainside. Can we climb the peak again? We may need to answer the’Xuanyuan Ten Questions’. This is also a revelation left to us by the 11th Xuanyuan Award Annual Car Vacancy."

　　In essence, the "Xuanyuan Ten Questions" is exactly the sober thinking that China’s auto industry needs in the face of fierce competition and high degree of involution.

　　This year is the 11th Xuanyuan Awards, the beginning of a new decade. Jia Ke said: "I hope that in the new decade, the Xuanyuan Awards will accompany the Chinese auto industry not only to change lanes and overtake, but also to better promote the world’s auto industry to better develop on the new car track."

　　The new decade of the Xuanyuan Award also requires the continued support of its partners.

　　The Xuanyuan Award has been associated with the Wuhan Economic Development Zone for three years, and has also witnessed the extraordinary development of the Wuhan Economic Development Zone for three years. Liu Maohua, member of the Wuhan Economic Development Zone Working Committee and deputy director of the Management Committee, sincerely invited entrepreneurs to build a new highland in the automotive industry with China Car Valley in his speech. "We will provide the best policies, the best services, and the best environment to support enterprises to grow and thrive in China Car Valley and create brilliance together."

　　The Xuanyuan Award and the Da’an Center have been cooperating since 2015. The location of this year’s Xuanyuan Award evaluation activity is the intelligent connected vehicle test factory of the Da’an Center, which provides a solid foundation for the review of the Xuanyuan Award. Wang Jin, general manager of the Da’an Center, said in his speech: "Da’an and Xuanyuan Award have jointly witnessed the ten years of intelligent development of new energy in China’s automobiles, and hope to jointly open a new decade of intelligent network development to the third space."

　　The Xuanyuan Awards have independent observers, which is the unique feature that distinguishes the Xuanyuan Awards from other awards. Since the 6th Xuanyuan Awards, the Xuanyuan Awards have introduced an independent observer mechanism in order to further increase the transparency of the selection and ensure the fairness and impartiality of the awards. At the award site, Li Jingwen, manager of Ernest & Young Huaming Accounting Firm (Special General Partnership), read out the notarized words and opened the password box where the award list was stored.
