Check the pickup trucks with fuel-saving mode from the source

At 24: 00 on March 17th, a new round of domestic refined oil price adjustment window was reopened. According to the news of the National Development and Reform Commission, the domestic gasoline and diesel prices increased in 750 yuan and 720 yuan respectively per ton. After the price adjustment, the No.95 gasoline has exceeded 9 yuan per liter. Adding to a price increase at the end of December last year, the domestic refined oil price has risen for six consecutive years, and the cost of car use for migrant workers has increased.

  For pickup trucks that undertake multiple tasks such as production and travel, fuel saving is very important. In recent years, fuel-saving configuration has gradually appeared on domestic pickup trucks, especially the increase of high-end pickup products, which has gradually popularized the ECO economic model. After the ECO mode is turned on, the vehicle will run in the economic mode, the fuel injection quantity will be controlled by the vehicle computer, and the shift logic will be controlled by the gearbox control module, so that the vehicle can run in the most economical mode to achieve the purpose of fuel saving. At present, ECO economic model is becoming more and more common in high-end automatic pickup products.

  Changchengpao

  As a representative work of domestic pickup trucks, 8AT models of Great Wall Gun have fuel-saving economic models to choose from. Among them, the Great Wall commercial gun is equipped with three driving modes: economy, standard and sport, the passenger gun has four driving modes: standard, economy, 4L and sport, and the off-road gun is equipped with seven all-terrain driving control modes (standard, economy, sport, snow, mud, sand and 4L). In the economic mode, the acceleration of the Great Wall Gun is relatively smooth, the throttle and brakes are also very comfortable, and the steering wheel is relatively light, which is suitable for driving on flat sections of the city.

  SAIC Datong T70/T90

  In the domestic pickup truck market, SAIC Chase was the first pickup truck product to launch the ECO ECOnomic model. As early as the T60 was launched in 2017, SAIC Datong simultaneously launched the concept of "three-mode driving", namely eco mode, POWER mode and NORMAL mode. On T70 and T90, which went on the market later, the three-mode driving mode was still continued. When driving on expressways and urban roads, the ECO mode can be started, and the fuel saving effect can be achieved.

  Jiangling domain tiger 9

  As the highest-end product of Jiangling pickup truck, Domain Tiger 9 is not inferior in technology configuration, and it is also the first diesel pickup truck in China to realize 8-speed automatic transmission. Domain Tiger 9 uses the BOG Warner TOD two-speed intelligent four-wheel drive system, which can realize eight different driving modes, such as mud, sand, snow, rock, 4L, 4H, sports mode and economic mode. The car sits comfortably and has a wide field of vision when driving. After the economic mode is turned on, the steering wheel is soft, and its strength and quality can be comparable to those of SUVs at the same price.

  Zhengzhou Nissan Ruiqi 6

  Ruiqi 6 is one of the core products of Zhengzhou Nissan, and it has always had strong competitiveness in the domestic pickup truck market. Ruiqi 6 automatic transmission has four driving modes: standard, ECO (economy), SPORT (sports) and SNOW (snow), and there are control buttons under the air conditioning panel. After the economy mode is started, the vehicle gearbox upshifts actively, and will maintain a lower speed to obtain better fuel economy.

  China heavy duty truck VGV VX7

  In February this year, China Heavy Duty Truck VGV, a new force car company in the domestic pickup truck industry, launched its first pickup VX7, which is unique because of its load-bearing body structure, rich safety and intelligent configuration. VX7 pickup truck adopts 8AT gearbox, which can shift smoothly. The electronic knob shift design can realize the freedom of switching between economic, sports, snow and other multi-scene modes. For this pickup truck which is mainly used in cities, the fuel-saving economic model is very useful.

  General Futian

  General Futian pickup truck is a brand-new pickup truck model of Foton Motor, and the diesel 8AT combination is also in the forefront of the market. General G9 provides ECO mode and SPORT mode. Users can switch between them by pressing buttons, and choose energy-saving or sports driving mode according to their needs, so as to obtain corresponding dynamic response. In ECO mode, the whole car looks lazy, and it is very friendly to the fuel economy of the vehicle at low speed.

  Chang ‘an Kaicheng F70

  Chang ‘an Kaicheng F70 is a representative product of a new brand and model of pickup truck in China. The performance of its automatic transmission model has impressed users deeply. Like many mid-to high-end pickup trucks, Chang ‘an Kaicheng F70 automatic transmission model also has a "three-mode driving mode", namely, standard (NORMAL), ECOnomy (eco) and SPORT. Under the economic mode, Chang ‘an Kaicheng F70 appears to be much more obedient, and fuel saving is its core logic, and on this basis, it achieves the balance between performance and fuel consumption.

  With the rise of oil price, car owners pay more and more attention to fuel-saving driving skills, and the electronic configuration with fuel-saving function has also received more attention, and the ECO economic model has become popular at this time. After the ECO mode is turned on, the fuel consumption can be reduced to a certain extent, but the driving pleasure is indeed discounted accordingly. If card friends don’t want to sacrifice driving pleasure at ordinary times, they can only turn it on when driving on urban roads to realize intelligent fuel saving.

The great wall gun became popular! Known as the benchmark in pickup trucks, it sold 160,000 sets with ZF 8AT.

The Great Wall has developed rapidly in recent years. Haval focuses on the home SUV market, WEY focuses on high-end SUVs, while the first love, big dog, mocha (parameter picture) and other models complement the SUV segmentation field. I’m afraid there is no manufacturer in China who is more obsessed with building SUVs than Great Wall. No wonder the brand has the confidence to claim to be the leader of domestic SUVs. In 2020, the Great Wall sold a total of 1,111,598 cars, an increase of 4.84% over the same period. Faced with the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, enterprises grew against the trend, with operating income reaching 103.283 billion yuan and net profit reaching 5.392 billion yuan, both of which achieved year-on-year growth, especially in 2020, when automobile manufacturers were generally sad.

The three technology brands of Lemon, Tank and Coffee Intelligence were also officially released last year. It can be seen that the Great Wall hopes to cover consumers’ needs in SUV and commercial vehicles more comprehensively. The 2020 Great Wall Cannon is the great wall’s ambitious work in the field of pickup trucks. Although there are already Fengjun series of pearls and jade in the front, the market segment has been tepid due to the policy that pickup trucks are forbidden to enter the city. The launch of this Great Wall Cannon shows the determination of Great Wall to start the pickup truck brand. From January to September in 2020, the sales volume of the Great Wall Gun reached 160,351 units, ranking first in the market segment.

In terms of appearance, the front face of the Great Wall Gun looks round and full, which is in line with the momentum that a pickup truck should have. The quadrilateral air intake grille is magnificent and powerful, and there are large pieces of silver chrome-plated strips wrapped inside and on the edge, which is consistent with the temperament of the whole vehicle. In the configuration of far and near lights and daytime running lights, all the Great Wall guns are made of LED materials, and all the Changan Kaicheng F70 at the same level are halogen lamps. It should be obvious who is more kind. The length, width and height of the new car are (mm)5437/1958/1893, and the wheelbase is 3230mm. The car side lines are relatively smooth, and the surface is more natural. Keyless entry and keyless start in the front row are standard, which is commendable.

The wheel hub specification is 265/65 R18, and the tire comfort performance is good, which is suitable for road driving. The tailgate style is more conventional, but the straight lines are slightly boring. The taillights are also LED light sources, and the effect after lighting at night is quite outstanding. The floor of the container is equipped with container treasure, which can prevent wear and corrosion. The combination of the container frame and the tailgate pneumatic lever allows users to easily put down the tailgate, which is rare in the same class and greatly improves the convenience.

Entering the interior of the Great Wall Gun, it is difficult for you to associate it with a pickup truck, because the interior is no different from a general passenger car, more like an SUV, with a symmetrical layout and a large four-spoke steering wheel. At first glance, it is for male drivers, and both sides are integrated with functional buttons such as multimedia control and cruising. The 9-inch central control LCD screen is embedded, and the addition of 360 panoramic images can significantly improve the convenience of parking. The center console is covered with a large area of soft materials and leather, which feels quite good. The real shot model is red, but personally, it feels more advanced with black and brown.

In the power part, the gun adopts a 2.0T gasoline engine independently developed by Great Wall and code-named GW4C20B, with a maximum power of 190 HP and a peak torque of 360 Nm. Automatic transmission models are matched with 8AT gearbox from ZF, and the stability and ride comfort have passed the test of the market. The front suspension is a double wishbone single suspension, which focuses on comfort. The four-wheel drive system comes from Borgwarner and is also produced by a big factory. It can switch between three driving modes and is equipped with front and rear differential locks. Configuration parts, such as tire pressure display, front seat belt unfastened reminder, body stability system, cruise control, steep slope descent and other functions are standard equipment.

Conclusion: There is no doubt about the hard power of the Great Wall Gun in the pickup truck field, which is why it can become the benchmark product in the domestic pickup truck field. ZF 8AT, Borgwarner four-wheel drive and Great Wall engine are all genuine configurations, and the fully-used interior is also a bright spot, which can not help but make people feel the illusion of family cars. With the adjustment and relaxation of pickup policies in various places, I believe that the sales performance of this car can reach a new high.

What does it take to drink a mouthful of mineral water? The reporter explored the only source of mineral water in Shenzhen.

Shenzhen News Network September 5, 2023(Shenzhen Evening News reporter Wu Jie intern Tan Jia Chen Siyi/Wen Yan Wen Ting/photo) In the early morning, it was drizzling, and there were seven wells scattered at the foot of Lion Mountain in Baoan District, Shenzhen. With the intermittent sound of rain, the water in the well is slowly flowing to a production workshop of mineral water source. After 14 processes, such as coarse filtration, fine filtration and inspection, cans of bottled water were loaded on transport vehicles and sent to thousands of households in Shenzhen.

Recently, a reporter walked into Shenzhen Yiliquan Beverage Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Yili") late at night to visit the only mineral water source with mining license in Shenzhen (Qiniang Mountain Mineral Water Plant has been closed). In this factory area of 1.142 square kilometers, 90% is a water source protection area. The water source here belongs to metasilicic mineral water, and the metasilicic acid content is more than 40MG/L, which is 60% higher than the national standard. In this precious water source, a group of "water conservation people" have been silently guarding it.

Fully sealed transportation creates "safe water"

The factory produces over 120,000 tons of mineral water every year.

Chen Jiali, 50, is responsible for the exploitation and daily maintenance of seven wells in Yili Water Source Protection Area. In 2005, he was selected to join the water resources exploitation and conservation team. Since then, it has become Chen Jiali’s daily work for 18 years to record the water level, flow rate, conductivity, water temperature and other well operation parameters of each well, check the facilities and environmental sanitation of the well, adjust the water yield, inspect the water source and send water samples to the laboratory.

On September 4, Chen Jiali, wearing labor insurance shoes and a straw hat, walked on the road to the source of mineral water with a bunch of keys. After the rain, the soil was filled with faint fragrance, and the branches and leaves on both sides of the path were hung with rain. Standing at the entrance of the water source, a tall iron gate blocked the way. Chen Jiali said that only this key in his hand can open the front door in the whole factory. After opening two protection doors in succession, the reporter saw late at night that a locked well house came into view, which was one of the wells in the mineral water source.

What about water? Opening the last iron gate is different from the traditional well where the water is gurgling. There is no "shadow" of a drop of water in the well room, and no sound of water can be heard. "The process from the extraction to the transportation of mineral water is completely sealed. A 0.22um (micron) respirator is installed on the well, and even the air must be filtered before it can enter the well." Chen Jiali explained that there were no water pipes on the road from the water source to the factory, but all the water pipes were laid in special underground canals. These water sources will flow to the production workshop. After going through layers of procedures and strict inspection, they can be sent to people’s homes.

According to reports, at present, Yili Lion Mountain Factory is responsible for the production of bottled water, with a production line that produces more than 120,000 tons of mineral water every year. It is the water conservation personnel, water quality monitors, assembly workers, transport drivers and other grass-roots water guardians like Chen Jiali who jointly guard this mineral water source, so that citizens can drink "safe water".

Mineral water needs 20 years of natural purification of rock strata.

Water production goes through 14 processes and checks at different levels.

A high-quality and safe mineral water, which flows out of the mountain rocks and reaches the citizens, needs to go through many checkpoints. Wu Zhizhong, from Ji ‘an, Jiangxi Province, is the director of Yili. After graduating from university majoring in food, he has been engaged in the management of mineral water industry for 30 years. He is the gatekeeper of mineral water quality assurance.

Recently, the reporter came to the workshop of Yili Mineral Water Plant late at night to see that the assembly line was running slowly and the workers were making bottled water in an orderly way. There are 14 processes from disinfection inside and outside the empty barrel, washing with the cover removed, online monitoring of ozone content in mineral water, random sampling of water quality, filling of qualified mineral water … to the final laser scanning of the bar code of the barrel.

"We strictly control every process. Whether it is source water, process water, finished water, or the environmental sanitation of the production workshop, there are staff online monitoring at all times, just to ensure the same quality of each barrel of water. " Director Wu said.

Late at night, the reporter saw at the scene that the bottle body of each barrel of water has an "ID card". The public can know the specific production time of this barrel of water by scanning, so as to distinguish the authenticity. At the same time, the factory can also trace the source through this "ID card".

"After the surface water seeps into the ground, it will be purified by the rock strata in the long underground deep circulation to form mineral water, which takes about 20 years." Director Wu stood in front of a well, stroking ancient rocks, and told reporters late at night that among all kinds of water, natural mineral water is a scarce natural resource, and there are three main criteria for judging high-quality mineral water sources: first, the ecological environment is good, second, the water quality is excellent, and third, the water quantity is large.

In order to make good use of every drop of precious natural mineral water resources in the production process, Yili mineral water aims at green mines, and the recycling rate of mineral water is 100%, ensuring the sustainable development and utilization of drinking natural mineral water resources.

In Shenzhen, a rapidly developing modern city, the only mineral water source being mined is precious. "The ecological environment of the water source is the lifeline. Only when the local ecological environment is good can we embark on a sustainable development path." Director Wu said that in the future, he will patrol the water source with more water source guardians to ensure that the water source is not damaged by wildlife and human activities, so that citizens can drink high-quality natural "safe water".
