Chapter 257 MPV Project Progress

After expressing his attitude towards the platform strategy, Zhou Fei focused on introducing the two platforms that Feichi Company will develop soon.

One is the Golf-based MQB platform, and the other is the Audi A4-based MLB platform.

In terms of the naming of these two platforms, Zhou Fei completely copied the rules of Volkswagen in his previous life without making any changes.

The construction of the MQB platform is easy to say. After all, the golf car has been mass-produced. It only needs to use the chassis of the golf as the basis to build the platform. Most of the series of Volkswagen cars launched by Mercedes-Benz will be built on this platform. on production.

As for the MLB platform used to produce Audi A4 and above Audi products, Zhou Fei needs to work hard. After all, this platform does not currently have any vehicles in production, and all standards need to be formulated from scratch.

But in terms of importance, in Zhou Fei's eyes, the MLB platform is obviously more important than the MQB platform, because in the future, the Audi brand will be a key development target of Mercedes-Benz. Models, including the A series, Q series, and S series, Zhou Fei will launch one after another, and most of these models are produced on the MLB platform.

As for the MQB platform, perhaps this platform was very important to Volkswagen in the previous life. After all, the main mass-produced cars of Volkswagen all run on this platform, but for the current Mercedes-Benz company, the importance of the MQB platform It will be greatly reduced, because Zhou Fei will not copy most of the cars on this platform, and will only selectively launch a few classic cars.

But in the end, the number of cars launched on the MQB platform is definitely not as high as that of the MLB platform. Considering the positioning of the two platforms, it is natural to know which one is more important.

"The task I just assigned, I hope that all departments can implement it to every employee, especially the development of the Audi A3 and A4, which is the top priority. I hope that the technical department can assign the development work as soon as possible. We will strive to complete all development work in the first half of next year."

At the end of the meeting, Zhou Fei did not forget to remind him.

Zhou Fei will personally handle the design of the two platforms, so this work does not need other people to care about. The main thing is to complete the development tasks of the two luxury cars. There is no platform strategy.

After the meeting, everyone left one after another. Zhou Fei, Li Jianneng and Zhang Xiang walked out of the meeting room last.

"The development of luxury cars and the promotion of the platform strategy don't need to worry about the two of you. You can just concentrate on completing the establishment of the sales company. The time node for the official operation in November remains unchanged."

Zhou Fei said while walking.

Among the several projects that Feichi is currently working on, the first one to end is the formation of the current sales company, followed by the joint venture project with Fotong Motors, and then the MPV project and the luxury car development project.

There is no way to say which of these projects is more important, but there is always a priority. The operation of the sales company is already an imminent matter, so Zhou Fei does not want to distract Zhang Xiang and Li Jianneng.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, the sales company will definitely be able to officially operate in November, and I can guarantee your safety." Zhang Xiang promised immediately after hearing this.

At present, the personnel and organizational structure of the sales company have been set up, and only the last item of staff training is left. As long as this item is successfully completed, the operation of the sales company will be no problem at all.

"Okay, then you will be busy with your work. If there is anything, I will inform you again." Zhou Fei nodded.

After the meeting this time, all departments began intensively preparing for the development of luxury cars according to Zhou Fei's request. Zhou Fei had already completed most of the development tasks for the Audi A3 and A4. The next step is only the development of simple parts, and the designer only needs to contact the supplier to cooperate in the development.

And Zhou Fei himself is not idle. The construction of the two major platforms mainly depends on him to complete, especially a series of standards for the operation of the platforms. What's wrong.

It took about half a month for Zhou Fei to roughly compile the operating standards of the platform, and then on October [-], he set off to Ninghang City to learn about the current situation of Wei Peng Automobile and the operation of the MPV project. Condition.

Since Zhou Fei returned to the headquarters last time, it has been more than a month since Zhou Fei has been to Wei Peng Automobile.

"Mr. Zhou, you are welcome to come to our Weipeng Motors for inspection work. You have worked hard all the way."

As soon as Zhou Fei's car stopped at the gate of Wei Peng's headquarters, Ma Huafu, who had been waiting there for a long time, stepped forward and said.

Before Zhou Fei set off, he had already greeted Ma Huafu in advance.

"It's rare that Mr. Ma still remembers to greet me. Let's go in and talk." Zhou Fei smiled, and then, accompanied by Ma Huafu and others, walked into the office building.

Compared with the depression and lifelessness of the previous period, the current Weipeng Automobile has regained its vitality. Although several factories have not officially started operation, every employee in the company knows that there is Mercedes-Benz company behind it. Therefore, the rise of Wei Peng Automobile is only a matter of time.

What's more, almost every internal employee knows that Wei Peng Automobile is working on a very important project. As long as the project is successful, it will immediately bring huge benefits to the company, so now everyone is full of hope for the company. It is natural to work more carefully.

"I don't have any major issues this time. I mainly want to see how the Hongguang MPV project is progressing. The development work should be completed before the end of the year, right?"

After arriving at Ma Huafu's office, Zhou Fei asked directly.

"Mr. Zhou has done the most difficult development work for us. If we don't pay attention to the rest of the work, we will be too sorry for Mr. Zhou." Ma Huafu smiled, "Currently, Hongguang's car The main part of the engine has almost been completed, and there is still some work to be done on the engine, and it is expected to enter the road test stage in December."

Once it enters the testing stage, it means that the development of a car is coming to an end, and it will be on the market soon.

"If you have any needs in terms of engine calibration and vehicle calibration, please tell me in time, and I will arrange the headquarters to provide technical support."

Zhou Fei nodded, then replied.

Later, at Zhou Fei's request, Ma Huafu took Zhou Fei to visit the work progress of the entire MPV project and learned about the work progress of the project.

"At present, except for our internal affairs, the outside world does not know that we are working on this MPV project. In the past two days, you can ask the planning department to prepare a copy and announce the news."

After the visit, Zhou Fei looked at Ma Huafu and said.
