“it is not easy to have a place in the picky European market because the car tradition and history there can be traced back to the beginning of the last century.
However, with its promising technology, stylish and elegant design and firm belief in its own products, the question world has come to the fore in Paris.
” , (It’s no easy feat to make entrance into the picky European market, where automotive heritage and history go back to the dawn of the previous century.
But with its promising technology, sleek and elegant designs, and belief in its own products, Aito has definitely made a statement at the Paris Motor Show.
), the above paragraph is a comment by an European media on the news event that the interviewer team showed up at the Paris Motor Show.
As he said, the history and tradition of large-scale production and consumption of cars in Europe can be traced back to the early 20th century.
The reason why such a picky and even arrogant European can make such an implicit but completely positive comment is that the motorcade from the Cyrus superfactory in Chongqing, China, has traveled all the way across Eurasia, over the Gobi, grasslands, mountains and rivers, all the way to the Paris Palace on its own wheels.
It took 38 days to walk 15000 kilometers of Silk Road, including the new M5 of urban performance SUV, the new M7 of medium and large-sized new energy SUV, and the flagship SUV M9 of panoramic smart new energy.
a total of 8 vehicles set off from Chongqing on the morning of September 2.
After departure, the convoy first went northward to Xi’an, then turned northwest, along Qinglan Expressway and Lianhuo Expressway, via Jiuquan and Urumqi, and reached Horgos Port on September 8.
After leaving the country, the convoy first entered the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan, arrived in the capital Almaty, and continued to move on to the city of Tashkent in Uzbekistan.
The endless Gobi and grasslands, dotted with lakes, rivers and mountains, are the most common scenery in Central Asia.
Here, the road is relatively simple, and some sections of the road are not even paved.
After entering the autumn, the rolling wind and sand also poses a certain test to the vehicles.
When the convoy entered Turkey and drove up the Anatolian plateau on the Asian minor peninsula, it faced a different picture.
As the hub of the ancient Silk Road, it has been a necessary place for exchanges between the East and the West for three thousand years, and a large number of buildings and monuments with a strong fusion style are dotted in the muddy valleys of this plateau at an altitude of about 1000 meters.
In such terrain, the roads are generally narrow and often circle rugged until they enter the northeast corner of Asia minor and pass through Istanbul via the Bosphorus Strait Bridge.
After entering the Balkans, the convoy traveled northward through the southern European countries Bulgaria and Serbia, through central Europe, Hungary and Austria, and entered Germany.
The last part of the journey is from Munich-Stuttgart, Germany, and drive about 850km westward via E52-E50 Highway to Paris.
After a total of 38 days and a total mileage of about 15000 km, the convoy from Chongqing finally arrived at the Grand Palais, the destination of the trip, which has been the traditional home of the fourth Paris International Motor Show since 1901.
However, the significance of this team, in addition to the unprecedented cross-continental expedition to participate in the auto show itself, but also has the brand’s absolute confidence and full display of the omni-directional performance of its own vehicles.
Typical examples, such as the road from western Kazakhstan to Uzbekistan, especially from Tashkent to Samarkand, are filled with continuous “shell pits” due to disrepair and repeated crushing of a large number of heavy trucks.
In general, when a vehicle encounters this kind of road condition, the speed can only be maintained at about 50 kilometers, and continuous crossing the pit will pose a limit test to the vehicle suspension.
But the three models in the motorcade all passed the exam.
And facts have proved that the new M7 and M9 equipped with CDC damping and air suspension system, not only can withstand the test of bad road conditions, combined with the chassis road preview technology, not only can significantly improve the sense of tumbling when driving on this kind of inferior roads, and even significantly increase the upper limit of safe driving speed.
As a matter of fact, throughout the entire 15000-kilometer intercontinental journey across Eurasia, the only thing that can be regarded as a failure is the experience of a few punctured tires.
It is obvious that a definite conclusion can be reached by asking about the mechanical quality and vehicle reliability of the whole brand.
In addition to the mileage figure that can already make people feel “cracked”, there is another figure that needs to be emphasized-the full use of the ADAS intelligent driving assistance system handles more than 63% of driving tasks.
Throughout the transcontinental journey, the team came to the unanimous conclusion that with LCC assisted driving, daily driving fatigue can be greatly reduced and safety can be significantly improved compared with manual driving.
With the LCC+AEB function, the system can detour automatically when driving at a low speed, and the whole process is smooth and silky, and you can keep driving as long as you don’t change the lane.
Using the most intuitive data to describe the driving effect of intelligent driving aids is that the longest mileage in a single day is 1334 kilometers, which is basically due to the system.
Cross national boundaries, car intelligent new life, of course, the vehicle is the platform of the carrier after all, and the essence of driving is everyone’s life.
The journey across the Asia-Europe road and bridge and back to the ancient Silk Road is a commercial action to ask the brand to show its image to the outside world, but in fact, only after you hit the road will you find that the brand has long been famous.
To some extent, it can be said that prestige has already spread widely in foreign countries.
An obvious evidence is that the fleet has demonstrated intelligent driving assistance functions such as intelligent parking at a number of important points as it travels through Central and Western Asia.
And every time, as long as the name of “the question from China” comes out among the surrounding people, it can immediately attract a large number of local people, passers-by and passers-by, and even the local media to “grab the news.
” And this “come on”From the news of the intelligent motorcade of Oriental Ancient Kingdom, it seems that the speed of the motorcade is even faster than that of the motorcade.
For example, in Tashkent, the convoy made a temporary stop at a gas station as planned to refuel and refuel, as well as a technical demonstration.
As it happened to be adjacent to a local CBD, when the news of the arrival of the convoy spread among the buildings, the windows on the side of the office buildings facing the gas station were quickly crowded with onlookers.
When the car was displayed and the parking action was completed perfectly, the crowd burst into warm applause, and in this most simple way, people expressed their praise for this “future technology” and even the brand.
Somewhere in Turkey, according to the itinerary, when the convoy arrived at a local online celebrity restaurant, a smart light show about the M9 was arranged to project the legendary classic “Roman Holiday” on the wall using the front smart headlights.
This is comparable to the scene of an open-air movie, causing local residents and tourists to watch and marvel.
In Cappadochia, Turkey, which is also famous for its karst landform, the convoy was going to leave after shooting the sunrise, but unexpectedly, the strong wind the day before yesterday stranded the local plan for the release of the hot air balloon, which “doubled” the scale of the hot air balloon activity on that day and attracted countless tourists.
In the parking lot, the motorcade was surrounded by enthusiastic onlookers, especially families with children, parents came forward to experience the boundary car, and the children followed excitedly.
For a long time, the world has always used the allusions of the Tower of Babel to describe the estrangement between human groups caused by language differences.
But the experience of the team proves the hard fact that under the inspiration of the future life shown by technology, no one will begrudge the most simple and simple praise to inspire the light of hope they can see.
In Stuttgart, Germany, the birthplace of the modern automobile industry, local people sincerely exchanged views on future cars with travelers from China, and gained inspiration from the collision of ideas.
on the streets of the Champs Elysees in Paris, France, the various intelligent aids and applications of the car also amazed and fascinated the onlookers.
Even while driving on the road, the motorcade has repeatedly encountered strong onlookers from local car owners who can hardly resist curiosity.
Once, a driver driving Maybach made a U-turn to catch up when he came across a motorcade.
In addition to the scheduled itinerary, but with extremely sincere exchanges, I had an extremely sincere communication with travelers from China.
During this period, this new friend, who has a certain status in the local area, showed a high degree of appreciation for the M9, and also expressed a high degree of approval for the new luxury concept advocated by the question.
It is even more outspoken, thinking that the comfort of the MJ series is on a par with its own car, and the M9 is even better.
Don’t think that technology can only bring a convenient and comfortable life and a cooler driving experience.
In fact, during the 15000-kilometer journey across Asia and Europe, we also felt the role of science and technology in breaking down barriers.
When driving at high speed at night in China, people who pass large vehicles usually flash their headlights twice to remind them, which has become an established habit.
Therefore, the intelligent driving assistance system is also set up to automatically flash the lights when helping to change lanes, and then change back to the original lane.
But in some countries, drivers generally regard similar operations as a provocation, which often leads to some misunderstandings.
The solution for the Q & J team is to use matrix headlights or taillights to compare the heart.
This is a universally recognized symbol of goodwill, which often makes local drivers feel the surprise of goodwill.
Many times throughout the journey, the moved driver specially caught up and saluted the motorcade in the way he could think of.
This goodwill that transcends national boundaries and nations is often the most moving.
The departure of the Wangjie motorcade coincided with the popularity of “Black Myth: Wukong”.
As the first domestic top 3A game in history, this game originates from Journey to the West, one of China’s four masterpieces, and carries extremely profound thoughts and connotations.
To some extent, we are also finding out the current situation and problems facing China’s automobile industry.
However, too deep content, there is no need to talk about in this article, after all, this 15000-kilometer journey, Chinese car companies strive to give the connotation, is inclusive, prosperity and win-win, which represents the idea of the beautiful pursuit of mankind.
One thing is obvious.
No matter the intelligent driving assistance system, the intelligent cockpit or the various functions based on the above, all these scientific and technological achievements are jointly created by the brand and the top domestic ICT technology company.
In fact, it is the brand that set a precedent for cross-border cooperation between domestic car companies and top ICT technology companies, focusing on top technological forces, and finally successfully shaped this benchmark model of technological luxury.
This kind of cross-track and even cross-disciplinary cooperation can be between Chinese car companies and Chinese ICT technology companies, but also between Chinese car companies and foreign car companies, Chinese ICT technology companies and foreign car companies.
This event is not only a demonstration and verification of products and technologies, but also an opportunity to communicate with users and partners around the world.
Adhere to innovation-driven, software-defined cars, cross-border cooperation, accelerate product iteration through technological innovation, work closely with partners for frank communication and common growth, and move towards the goal of becoming a world-class luxury car brand.
Communication can break down barriers, cooperation can resolve conflicts, and science and technology can create a better life for all.
This is just like the ending song of the popular 86 version of Journey to the West, which is also sung by one of the ending songs of Black Myth: Wukong– dare to ask where the way is? The road is under your feet.
