258: Chapter 258 What are you doing with an all-aluminum alloy car body, you newbie?
After Zhang Bin walked onto the stage, the first thing he introduced wasn't the car, but the battery.
Taiwan Novel Network has a huge collection of books, it is super convenient.
A car battery appeared on the lifting platform on the stage.
"Our batteries use the high-density car batteries independently developed by Transsion Energy."
"The energy density has reached 210Wh/kg."
There was a murmur of discussion in the audience. When Transsion Energy announced their photovoltaic panels at the last technical conference, they thought that was the biggest achievement.
They didn't expect there to be something even stronger now; no wonder they were able to bring out the photovoltaic panels back then.
At the same time, the batteries used by other new energy car companies appeared on the big screen.
The Tesla Model S uses Panasonic batteries, and the energy density is only 120Wh/kg; it's not just a little bit worse, it's a huge gap.
"No wonder there was a move to set a new national standard a while ago; so that's where the trap was."
"No wonder those car companies were cursing so viciously. They just wanted to scam some subsidies, who knew you were playing for real?"
Someone in the audience applauded.
"But this still isn't the most critical point." Zhang Bin waved his hand, his expression turning serious. "The most critical point is safety."
A video began playing on the big screen.
A battery pack was placed on a test bench, and a steel needle was slowly inserted into it.
"This is the nail penetration test we conducted, the industry's most rigorous safety test."
"It simulates the situation where a battery is pierced by a foreign object."
"As for the authenticity of this video, we conducted it under the supervision of Team Leader Zhao."
"If you don't trust us Transsion, you should at least trust the credibility of Team Leader Zhao."
When Zhao Tiesheng's figure appeared on the big screen, the audience members who were previously skeptical were completely convinced.
The video on the screen switched to the moment the steel needle was inserted; the battery emitted white smoke, but it did not catch fire or explode.
"Our battery packs do not catch fire or explode during nail penetration tests; they have passed the national standard, the European standard, and all possible safety tests."
"Furthermore, ours meets the new national S-grade standard."
An introduction to the new national standard also appeared on the screen, designed to improve the quality of industry development while accommodating some of the poorer-performing students.
Going forward, the national standard will be divided into S, A, and B grades, with the B grade being an upgrade based on the existing national standard, which is also a way to save some face and prevent the industry from being eliminated too quickly.
"Awesome!"
"New national S-grade, how much technical confidence must one have to say that?"
"Before, I only knew those car companies were cursing, but I didn't know why. Now I understand."
"This has torn off their fig leaf."
Zhang Bin gradually adapted to the stage. After the applause ended, he pressed the presentation remote.
The second item was the ESP system.
Transsion Auto owes a lot of its current popularity to Bosch. Since they had already eaten Bosch's tech, they had to eat it to the end.
Therefore, at this press conference, Zhang Bin had to leave them enough time.
Soon, Zhang Bin changed back to that aggrieved look.
"Regarding ESP, we have discussed this issue many times."
"The reason our car was delayed is because of them."
"Last time we released the ESP Pro, but what we used for ourselves was the ESP 2 Pro."
A comparison of the two names appeared on the big screen.
"These two generations of systems are not just a matter of iteration, but a qualitative leap."
"First of all, our self-used 2 Pro has a quad-core high-computing power chip at its core."
"This chip uses the world's leading 28nm process, and its performance is 245% of that backward chip in the Bosch 9.0 system."
Many people in the audience looked at each other.
245%? Some people thought they had misheard; after all, was this improvement a bit off the charts?
"Not 20%, but 245%, which is 3.45 times." Zhang Bin explained, his tone full of pride in his own technology.
"Higher computing power means more precise control and faster response speed."
"Bosch's ESP response time is 100 milliseconds, and Transsion's ESP Pro is 102 milliseconds."
"But our 2 Pro is 32 milliseconds."
A comparison video appeared on the screen.
Two cars were making emergency evasive maneuvers on an icy road; the Transsion car's trajectory was clearly more stable and smoother, and its reaction speed was also faster.
Skeptical voices immediately appeared in the live stream's bullet comments.
"Fake, right? The ESP Pro was already fake enough, and now there's a 2 Pro? They're blowing smoke without even drafting it."
"Claiming to catch up to Bosch in a short time is enough to fool people."
"Continuing to write fake data will only harm others and themselves."
"Transsion is obsessed with modifying data; they can't listen to anyone else."
People in the know off-site were also whispering.
"That's not right! Didn't they promote the ESP Pro before? How did it upgrade a generation?"
"This isn't just one generation's level, it's at least three generations... and the current process is hard to achieve."
"The chip is nothing to worry about; Transsion's 28nm process is no longer news."
Zhang Bin heard the whispering in the audience. Yes, skepticism was exactly what was needed.
If there were no skepticism, it would seem even faker, but these people were not their paid trolls. Zhang Bin smiled slightly.
"I know some people want to ask, didn't you say there was only ESP Pro before? How did it change?"
"Did Transsion have the technology all along, just waiting for Bosch to jump into the trap?"
There was a round of puzzled applause from the audience. They looked at Zhang Bin curiously, wanting to know how he would explain this issue.
But Zhang Bin just said: "It was indeed because of the supply cutoff. Any company we can acquire must have a certain value."
"The ESP Pro was upgraded from the previous generation of technology, while the 2 Pro is the latest generation of technology."
Relevant comparison data also appeared on the big screen, with the 2 Pro benchmarking against Bosch's next-generation product.
Meanwhile, the now-dismissed Hans Müller was shaking his head vigorously in Germany; he absolutely did not believe this reason.
This was a trap, a trap aimed at them, and he had stupidly walked into it for the sake of some client interests.
He even suspected that this was a conspiracy by Chinese manufacturers united against them, but what the truth was didn't matter anymore.
What mattered was that he had been fired, and the orders promised by the Chinese manufacturers had already become Transsion's.
At the press conference, Zhang Bin didn't know Hans Müller's thoughts; he had moved on to the next segment, introducing the overall appearance of the transsion s7.
First to appear was the car's frame diagram, the silver-white body without any covering parts.
But this body made many people exclaim that their pre-orders were not a mistake.
An all-aluminum car body—that was something only used in million-dollar luxury cars.
Zhang Bin's face was also full of smiles.
"We are a newcomer in the automotive industry and don't know many rules. We only know how to bring the best car body and the greatest safety to everyone."
"Let everyone return safely to the harbor of happiness!"
A line of large characters officially appeared on the big screen: All-Aluminum Car Body!
