All round car designer

Chapter 253 Design Complete
For Zhou Fei now, it is not difficult to complete the development of a car, especially after having a dedicated technical team, Zhou Fei only needs to complete the design of the vehicle's appearance and the assembly of important parts such as the engine and gearbox. The development and the rest of the work can be directly handed over to other designers to complete.

At present, the two cars that have been decided to be developed, Audi A3 and Audi A4, have been confirmed to use the EA888 engine produced by Mercedes-Benz, so Zhou Fei does not need to worry about the "heart" of the vehicle.

As for Audi's gearbox, Audi has always liked to use the logo "S tronic dual-clutch transmission" in its official promotion, but in fact, "S tronic" is just Audi's name for dual-clutch gearbox Forget it, he is not much different from Volkswagen's "DSG dual-clutch gearbox".

As early as when Mercedes-Benz was developing golf, Zhou Fei took the lead to complete the technical breakthrough of the dual-clutch gearbox. At present, Xunming Gearbox Company is in mass production, so Zhou Fei does not have to re-engineer the gearbox. design.

In other words, the most important and most cumbersome powertrain design part in vehicle development, Mercedes-Benz already has a ready-made product. As long as Zhou Fei can complete the exterior design of the two cars, everything will be done.

Of course, in addition to the engine and gearbox, Audi has also used one of its most proud technologies, that is, the Quattro full-time four-wheel drive technology, in the Audi A3 and A4 respectively. The 4T top version of the Audi A3.0 and the top version of the Audi A3 are all equipped with the Quattro system.

However, at this stage, Zhou Fei does not intend to let the black technology of Quattro full-time four-wheel drive come out. As the first generation car, if all the black technology is taken out at once, then the subsequent model replacements will be useless. Highlights?

Therefore, it is not too late for Zhou Fei to introduce the Quattro full-time four-wheel drive technology when the second-generation or third-generation Audi A4 is launched.

It took a whole day for Zhou Fei to fully understand the past and present of the two cars A3 and A4, and he also had a rough idea of ​​the two cars to be designed in his heart.

After returning home, Zhou Fei did not watch the news with Zhou Dehai as he did a few days ago, but went directly to his room, turned on the computer, and began to seriously design.

After these years of use, Zhou Fei is now proficient in vehicle development software, such as CATIA and CAD, and can switch between [-]D modeling and [-]D drawing at will without any sense of unfamiliarity.

It took less than an hour for Zhou Fei to complete the body frame design of the Audi A4. The rest of the work is to make a little improvement in this frame.

"Did you tell the rest of the company about the development of luxury cars? What do they think?" During dinner, Zhou Dehai couldn't help asking.

Every time Zhou Fei locked himself in the room, Zhou Dehai knew that Zhou Fei must be engaged in some development again.

Just last night, I just proposed to develop a luxury car, but tonight I am working on the design alone, doesn't that mean that I have a good discussion with other people.

"I talked to Lao Li and Brother Xiang this morning. Their point of view is similar to that of your dad. They are all worried about whether consumers are willing to accept it. So I decided to make a model first and use actual works to show Convince them." Zhou Fei replied while eating.

"Have an idea so soon?" Zhou Dehai asked in surprise. He has always known that his son is fast, but the design of a luxury car is no different from that of an ordinary car. Can your car do it?

"Don't worry about this, Dad. After my car is designed, you will know that your son and I are a genius, hehe." Zhou Fei smiled and replied mysteriously.

Now that Zhou Fei said that, Zhou Dehai didn't ask any more questions, but he was full of expectations for Zhou Fei's design works in his heart.

In the next few days, Zhou Fei put almost all his energy on the design of the Audi A3 and A4, and with his efforts, the two cars gradually took shape. Zhou Fei completed all the design work bit by bit, from the complete vehicle, from parts to an assembly.

It took five days for Zhou Fei to finally complete all the development of the two cars. Looking at the two cars that had been formed on the computer and the familiar logo on the front of the car, Zhou Fei seemed to have seen all the cars on the street. The scene of running the Audi A4.

On the afternoon of the day when the design was completed, Zhou Fei called Zhang Xiang and Li Jianneng over to show them the results of his work during this period.

"Mr. Zhou, this is our luxury car market research report for the past few days. You can read it first."

Before officially showing the models of the two cars, Zhang Xiang first reported his work results to Zhou Fei.

In the past few days, Zhang Xiang and Li Jianneng traveled to several cities to collect data, and at the same time drew on the statistical data of other people to come up with this research report.

Zhou Fei didn't say much, and after receiving the report, he read it seriously. Before that, he only had a general impression of the domestic luxury car market, without any specific data to support it. Ok makes up for that.

According to statistics, in the domestic luxury car market, Dafeng Motor's Lufeng occupies 52.32% of the market share, which is more than all other luxury car brands combined!

Moreover, in this survey, all the brands on the list are from foreign countries. Moreover, the three major auto giants monopolize more than 90% of the domestic luxury car market, and the rest is divided by other niche brands.

These real data all illustrate a bloody fact that Huaxia has made no achievements in the field of luxury cars than in the field of ordinary cars!

Luxury cars are the real world of joint ventures!

Thinking about it now, it’s no wonder everyone from Zhou Dehai to Zhang Xiang and Li Jianneng felt that it was unrealistic to enter the luxury car market. The fact that the Lufeng series accounted for more than 50.00% of the market share was enough to scare away the crowd who tried to compete for the cake. By.

Analyzing from an economic point of view, Dafeng Motor can use its status as a "leader" to make every competitor who tries to get a share of the pie end badly.

"The data in this report are indeed shocking." A few minutes later, Zhou Fei put down the materials in his hands and said to the two with a smile.

"So after reading this report, does Mr. Zhou still plan to enter the luxury car market?" Li Jianneng asked.

"Don't rush to say that, first look at the two luxury cars I designed, and then we will talk about whether it is feasible to enter the luxury car market, and what is the probability of success."

Zhou Fei smiled and turned the computer to the two of them and said.
