Chapter 181 Model Development

After settling the labor agreement, the two factories have finally entered normal conditions. The Jeep factory will conduct research and development of the new Grand Cherokee and Compass proposed by Bao Zixuan.

Dodge will only produce pickup trucks and ordinary trucks in the future. Currently, it mainly integrates the technologies of Rheinmetall and Dodge. At the same time, all production workshops have been moved to the Jeep factory. Although it makes many workers uncomfortable, they still choose to obey the temptation of high wages.

As for the Dodge automobile factory, it is currently only preparing to produce the newly developed cars of Heiyun, which are internally named Heiyun 1 series cars.

After the acquisition was completed, Bao Zixuan mobilized many workers from Xiangjiang to come to the United States. They mainly came to learn advanced automobile production and management experience and prepare for the next step of building factories in Asia. At the same time, the quality inspection department still uses a large number of Japanese employees.

Now when it comes to quality control, RB and the Germans do have a commendable side.

Bao Zixuan first discussed the development of the Grand Cherokee and Compass with Jeep engineers. None of these engineers were very satisfied with the new boss who had eliminated all Jeep models just after taking over the company, but they still cooperated because of the good benefits.

Bao Zixuan took out the sketch of the car that he had prepared and introduced the car's data parameters to the engineers.

In 1984, Jeep launched the Cherokee model with the characteristics of a sedan and an off-road vehicle, which was extremely popular in the market. In the 1980s, Jeep became the only profitable brand of AMC. In 1987, Chrysler merged with AMC and transformed the AMC sedan into

It is the Eagle brand, while the Jeep brand remains its original form. In the 1980s, the Jeep Cherokee drove the popularity of SUVs in the United States, and many car manufacturers also launched sports SUVs, including Porsche and other car manufacturers that had never produced SUVs in the past.

The Grand Cherokee is a brand new model launched on the market to compete with the Ford Explorer.

Bao Zixuan said: "The size of the Grand Cherokee is 4828mm×1943mm×1802mm. The fuel consumption is 10.4~14.0l/100km. The engine type is 3.6lv6/5.7lv8/6.4lv8 engine. The top speed is 206~255km/h.

/h acceleration time 4.9~8.7 seconds Drive mode front four-wheel drive, full-time four-wheel drive, braking mode, ventilated disc type, body weight 2235~2366 kg, wheelbase 2915mm, luggage compartment volume 782-1554l, fuel tank volume 93.5l

, standard seating capacity 5.”

The Grand Cherokee technical requirements proposed by Bao Zixuan are itself a model designed by Jeep in 1984. Now with the capital investment of Heiyun Group, it can be developed in advance. For this product that will be regarded as an excellent off-road vehicle for the next 40 years, Heiyun

The group will definitely make great efforts to upgrade.

Jeep engineers who had originally dismissed Bao Zixuan now discovered that this young boss has some talent. He is indeed a top student at MIT. Although he majored in mechanics, he must have worked hard on automobile research and development.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Bao Zixuan then took out another drawing and introduced: "This is another Compass model that Jeep will develop."

In terms of appearance, the front design of the Compass is in line with the trend, from the silver seven-hole front grille that inherits the family lineage, to the black inner frame, chrome fog light frame and blackened taillights, to the dynamic double five-spoke 18-inch aluminum wheels. The lines of the entire vehicle

The strong sense of strength and tough and fashionable appearance have been well received by netizens, who said, "The appearance is very tough and the appearance is very fashionable!"

Interior, the Compass' interior is a good continuation of Jeep's American style. The shape is simple and clear, the straight lines are very capable, and it is very practical. The uniquely designed double seats have a texture that has only appeared in top models in the past.

The interior is covered with soft materials and is equipped with the 2.4L Comfort Edition model for the first time, further improving comfort.

Power, the engine technology is advanced, the power is good, the speed is fast, and the high speed is stable.

In terms of control, Jeep Compass is very smart to grasp two options at the same time: the 2.4L model switches to the 6AT camp to emphasize performance and driving feel, and continues to use the economical and practical combination of the 2.0LCVT, taking into account the diverse needs of consumers.

In terms of space, the Compass's 2635mm wheelbase ensures sufficient legroom. There is ample leg and headroom in the front and rear rows, and the overall space performance is relatively good.

In terms of fuel consumption, Jeep Compass offers two displacement options of 2.0 liters and 2.4 liters. If you choose the 2.0 liter model, it is equipped with a comfortable and fuel-saving CVT gearbox. It pays more attention to economy and vehicle cost. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is only 8.7 liters.

On the basis of maintaining the classic and pure pedigree of the Jeep brand, Jeep Guide pays more attention to the needs of consumers at different levels.

The active full-time four-wheel drive system, freedomdrive, is the key to the Jeep Compass surpassing its class in performance, allowing the Jeep Compass to have the best road driving stability and off-road passability in its class. In addition, it has significant fuel-saving features and professional safety protection.

As well as its fashionable and distinctive urban temperament, the Jeep Compass has become the personalized first choice in the urban SUV segment where consumption is becoming increasingly mature and rational.

Seeing such a stylish compact urban SUV, this time the Jeep designer was completely impressed by this genius design. I didn't expect that this young boss who had just taken over the company would design such an excellent car. In fact, this is Bao Zixuan's specialty. It's just that

It's just copying the designs of predecessors. The design of cars and aircraft are basically the same. This is not a problem for an excellent aircraft engine designer.

After seeing that no one had any different opinions, Bao Zixuan said: "Since no one has any objections, let's implement it according to the design. My goal is to build Jeep into a first-class brand. I hope everyone can unite sincerely and buy our cars together."

To the whole world.”

"It's too late in the first half of the year. We have to participate in all the auto shows in the second half of the year. Let these two Jeep cars be popular all over the world. By the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, you will have to assemble these two cars for me even if they are hand-built. This is what I want

You can ask for anything you need, and the company will do its best to meet your needs, please."

Because of the detailed design drawings and the same design concept as Jeep, Bao Zixuan is not worried that Jeep will not be able to produce these two cars. What he is worried about now is Dodge Motor's research and development of the Heiyun 1 Series. This is also the future of Bao Zixuan

The focus of time work.

After arranging the Jeep car, Bao Zixuan came to the Dodge automobile factory. It is now very deserted. The Dodge truck department now shares a production plant with Jeep, and all other models have been cut off. Now the workers here basically have nothing to do.

Bao Zixuan came here to solve this problem.

Bao Zixuan summoned the engineers of the Dodge factory, which is now the engineers of the Heiyun factory, to start discussing the new car research and development plan. In fact, Heiyun engineers have completed the research and development of the Heiyun 1 series recently, and now they are here to implement the improvement of mass production supporting facilities and

New car testing work.

The Heiyun 1 Series completely imitates the exterior design of the previous 2013 BMW 3 Series, making it very forward-looking. Moreover, the engine also uses a newly developed hybrid engine, and the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers can be controlled within 4 liters. Bao Zixuan thought of using the excellent rb engine

The fuel-saving design combined with the quality and appearance of German cars will definitely break the black cloud encirclement and blockade by the automobile giants.

After arranging the research and development and production of the next three models of Heiyun Group, Bao Zixuan has also entered the role of a researcher. He is constantly shuttling between two car factories. He wants to build the three cars into Heiyun car classics within ten years.

It will only improve the car configuration, and the car's appearance can definitely be used for more than 20 years without being outdated.

Now, all three cars have their own advantages and disadvantages, but the one that Bao Zixuan values ​​the most is the Black Cloud 1 Series. After all, this is his son, and it is also the car that he thinks has the highest sales volume. In the context of the oil crisis, fuel efficiency has always been a major concern.

The boundaries that car manufacturers want to break through. The Heiyun car saves 40% of fuel than the most fuel-efficient Japanese car. This selling point alone will make consumers crazy. As for Jeep's two cars, they are more for off-road and off-road use.
