Three major trends of automobile development in the future


From September 25 to October 10, the last large-scale international auto show this year was held in Paris, France. This year's Paris Motor Show will present three major trends in the future of automobile development. One of the Future Trends: Repositioning the Potential and Charm of Diesel Vehicles On the first day of the preview of the opening of the Parisian car, a striking heavyweight figure emerged. He is Richard Wagner, CEO of American General Motors. Wagner first gave a public lecture and introduced a new general-purpose model, such as the Chevrolet brand "S3X", that was put into the European market. Surprisingly, during his speech, he particularly emphasized the need to actively adopt diesel engines. This surprised many in the industry. People all know that Americans do not recognize diesel cars, and diesel cars that have become popular in Europe have been crippled in the United States. The abundance of oil and cheap oil prices make Americans less fuel-efficient. At this auto show, even Americans realized the importance of diesel vehicles. This made people feel the potential and charisma of diesel cars once again while admiring GM. What is even more unexpected is that there was a bigger diesel highlight at this year's show. That is, Toyota has for the first time disclosed a new concept of diesel engine, the "D-4D180CleanPower." The introduction of the concept engine at the auto show was originally a novelty, and it was actually a diesel engine, which fully demonstrated the repositioning of diesel as fuel. According to reports, Toyota's diesel concept engine can reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) emissions by 50% and 80%, respectively, while ensuring output power. Toyota also introduced the Prius GT, a high-performance model of the hybrid Prius. This concept car is equipped with a 3.0-liter new D-4D diesel engine. The US-selling Prius, together with the new concept engine, immediately attracted professionals from all over the world, which made the Toyota booth crowded. The imminent implementation of the Euro IV standard, coupled with the pressure of environmental protection, has given the auto industry an optimistic view on the prospects of diesel vehicles. In addition to the European automakers launching diesel models, car dealers from the United States and Asia are also driving a wave of diesel cars at the Paris Motor Show. Honda displayed the CR-V equipped with a diesel engine at the auto show. This is the first time that the car was equipped with a 2.2-liter 2.2-liter diesel engine for the European model; GM exhibited the Chevrolet Concept SUV "S3X" model, which is also facing Europe. Chevrolet models are equipped with diesel engines for the first time; Nissan also uses diesel engines for some of its models, and its European models for North American vehicles have changed more than 1600 designs for the North American market in order to meet strict European standards. The second trend of the future: environmental protection and cost requirements make a lot of lightweight materials. If diesel is a major highlight of this Paris auto show in terms of fuels, then, in terms of materials, a large number of aluminum-based lightweight materials will be used. Become another highlight of people's attention. In this regard, the most eye-catching feature is the eco-friendly concept car E?鄄COGetz1.1CRDi. The biggest difference of this car is the maximum use of aluminum alloy body and aluminum alloy engine, which makes the car reduce the weight of the body and engine on the basis of the modern concept car "Getz". 38% and 25%. The body weight of the Hyundai concept car is only 840 kg, mainly due to the use of aluminum alloy body, and uses a frame structure consisting of aluminum alloy extrusion materials and castings. In addition to the lower rocker arm and steering knuckle of the suspension system, even brake discs made of cast iron are used in people's minds, and aluminum alloy materials are also used. "Aluminum makes a car a toy." An industry insider describes aluminum's use in cars. Beautiful, safe, comfortable, and economical, is the summary of people's advantages of applying aluminum to automobiles. According to experts, aluminum alloy is a good material for heat dissipation. Its high strength, light weight, and low labor-saving drive are used in automotive parts, which can greatly increase the life of the engine and save fuel. In addition, environmental protection and cost requirements also increase the use of this material in automobiles. One of the most obvious changes in the technology of cars since the 1970s was the mass use of lightweight materials. Many components made of aluminum and plastics have appeared. Among them, the largest amount of aluminum has been used, focusing on body components and engines. Air conditioners, bumpers, trims, seats and other components. The increasing use of aluminum in modern cars has become a trend. The third trend of the future: Automotive design adds more fashion factors Paris is a city known for its romance and fashion. Holding an auto show in this city has intrigued many people's reverie. The sudden appearance of Italian fashion designer Giorgio Armani at the auto show has added fashion elements to the Paris Motor Show. Many people know George Armani through the "Armani" clothing brand. And Giorgio Armani this time came to Paris, not because of the fashion conference, but specifically for the Paris Motor Show. Mercedes-Benz company inviting George Armani for its CLK500 prototype interior and exterior design. The car was also published at the Milan Fashion Show in the fall of 2003. The combination of car and fashion, and fashion so closely reflects a new trend. The two models on display at the well-known design company Pininfarina also fully reflected fashion factors. One of them is NIDO. It is said that the famous fashion bag brand Louis Vuitton also participated in the design. The combination of a fashion company and an automotive design company has enabled this car to not only have a smooth entire vehicle arc and chic interior, but also to improve safety performance by adopting a new design structure to collide the vehicle with the driver and Pedestrian injuries are minimized. Another model from Pininfarina’s hand is the Peugeot 1007. The use of a smooth door on such a compact body, and a good handling of the shape of the rails, is a highlight of this car design. At the same time, Peugeot 1007 interior color designed 12 kinds of suits, the outside also has 11 kinds of optional colors, a variety of colors make the models more stylish.
