Dongfeng Peugeot's new generation Dongfeng Peugeot 308 completed its debut, as a new car that was fundamentally redesigned, the new generation of Dongfeng Peugeot 308 left a deep impression on the value of the face. In this era of value, this means that a new generation of Dongfeng Peugeot 308 will have a good start. However, this car should be more optimistic about its stamina, an important reason is that it is based on the background of the EMP2 modular platform development.
Modular? Isn't the public all day long, as if listening to the ears? That's right, but don't think that it's much more commonplace. On the contrary, the current modular development model in the industry has just begun, and manufacturers with earlier actions will also taste the sweetness. At the same time, compared with the strange phenomenon that the masses “MQB actually sells PQ34†(Lingdu, Mingrui sells Langyi), the industry's second modular PSA will prove the true value of modularity with examples.
Achieving higher quality under controllable costs is the core advantage of modularity
With regard to modularity, we often hear adjectives about “goodâ€, such as high efficiency, light weight, superior performance, high quality, and good security. In fact, all of these are the original intention of engineers to design vehicles. It stands to reason that regardless of the modularity, all models can do this as long as they do not hesitate to work. However, after all, mass production vehicles are not experimental products or crafts, and the importance of cost control is no less than the quality improvement. How to get the highest possible quality at a controlled cost is actually the place to really test the designer.
Why are the two cars of the same level and even the same platform different in price due to different brands (such as Audi A3 and golf)? This is not only better for high-end brand models, but also for more investment in the R&D and commissioning phases. How to balance the overall quality and research and development costs? There is no doubt that the more a research and development result is shared, the lower its single cost. We can also look at this problem in the opposite direction - under the same single cost control, the more sharing means the more total R&D budget, the more able to develop higher quality products. This is actually a matter of division and multiplication.
Someone may have already understood this big circle. That's right, if we can get more cars to be developed based on a single R&D result, it means that more resources can be called to focus on developing this shared platform. In this way, the quality of the bicycle is guaranteed to be higher than that of the industry (same level), and at the same time, the cost can not exceed the industry (same level). This is actually the soul of modularity, and the roots of each of the models developed on the basis of modular platforms have shown strong competitiveness.
The power of the EMP2 modular platform is beginning to emerge
Specific to the PSA's EMP2, this feature can be said to be fully utilized in all aspects. EMP2 is a modular platform developed by PSA for the development of new vehicles in the next 10 years. For the reasons mentioned above, the development cost of this platform is as high as 630 million euros. The direct consequence of such an investment is the technical advantage and compatibility of this platform. For example, the key lightweight and safety, the EMP2 platform not only uses a large number of ultra-high-strength steels and thermoformed steels, but also strives to be scientific in terms of mechanical distribution and energy dispersion, thereby achieving both weight reduction and the strictest handling of the body. Harsh crash test.
In the powertrain, the EMP2 module can be connected to the three-cylinder and four-cylinder engines at the same time, and it is equipped with a new generation of PAS powertrain. The maximum capacity parameter that can be carried is 180 kW / 420 Nm - this means All cars and SUVs and MPVs below medium and large can be based on this module. Also, based on the EMP2 module platform, STT automatic start-stop is widely available, which is rare in the market below the mid- to high-end cars.
Another major feature of EMP2 is its new electronic architecture, which can be used not only with the new electronic equipment, but also to update the in-vehicle electronic system at any time to ensure synchronization in this regard. With it, the new generation of PSA models can easily implement functions such as smart driving and car networking.
With so many features and features, this may not be surprising in the past mid- to high-end cars, but if it responds to mid-level and mid-level models, the advantages will be obvious. The key to the cost control is the ability to control the EMP2 module with such technology and such a large investment. In terms of level, it can be compatible with all models of medium and high-grade and below, so as to realize the same platform development of different wheelbases and different sizes. From the category, it can meet the needs of high sitting posture, low sitting posture, high load bearing and low load capacity, so that cars, sports cars, SUVs and MPVs can be developed at the same time. In suspension applications, it can be used with a variety of suspensions such as torsion beams and multi-links, as well as hybrid systems and four-wheel drive systems, with the front suspension structure unchanged.
The EMP2 module has had a preview before this - the new generation Peugeot 408 is the first product under this module. Then we look at the market performance and market feedback of the new and old 408, it is not difficult to feel the power of modularity - the new sales are almost twice as large as the old models, and the new word of mouth is significantly better, whether it is driving quality, economy Sex, motivation, and so on.
Then we look at the new generation of Dongfeng Peugeot 308. Based on the current market positioning of the Peugeot 308, the core competing product of the new generation of Dongfeng Peugeot 308 should be the level of LaVida. At present, in this level, the models with modular design should be said to be few and far between. Obviously, PSA is a fast-paced device because of its rapid pace of modularity. With the advantages of the EMP2 analyzed in the previous section, combined with the high value of the new generation of Dongfeng Peugeot 308, it is believed that it is likely to become the most popular modular model in China. If this is the case, this will not only confirm the value of modularity, but will also trigger a more general modularization trend in the industry. "The era of spelling modules" may also come.
