The Grand Drama.
Top Suppliers Supporting Together
At the conference site, a number of leaders from Bosch, Huawei, and Ali came to the scene to support Dayun. Among them, Wu Xinggang, Director of Intelligent Vehicle Control Solutions of Huawei Technologies Limited, said, "Huawei's intelligent vehicle control solutions comprehensively help Dayun to create a boutique intelligent car with a better driving experience and better energy efficiency of the whole vehicle, and we believe that we can definitely bring a better, more superior driving experience to the majority of consumers."
In the era of traditional fuel vehicles, luxury is mainly reflected in the materials, configuration, atmosphere and other aspects. And in the era of new energy, electrification, intelligentisation, automatic driving and other innovative technologies are synonymous with luxury.
Interior of Yuanhang Automobile
The BHD high-end luxury pure electric platform, jointly created by Yuanhang Auto, Bosch and Huawei, breaks through the traditional boundaries in the fields of performance, intelligence and functionality, and interprets what is the "luxury" of an intelligent car in the new era.
18 Years of Experience in Car Manufacturing
During this year's Chengdu Auto Show, Yuanhang Auto came out of nowhere to compete with a host of new car-making forces as well as new-energy brands incubated by traditional car companies, attracting a lot of attention.
Strictly speaking, Yuanhang is not a member of the new forces camp, but Dayun Group behind it has a lot of experience in car-making. That's right, it's the Dayun Group, which is known as "Wind Racing World, Dayun Motorcycle".
Dayun Group was founded in 1987 and started with its motorcycle business, becoming a top domestic brand in just ten years. In 2004, Dayun entered the field of heavy-duty trucks and established Dayun Automobile. In 2016, Dayun entered the new energy heavy truck market, completing the layout of the whole series of new energy commercial vehicles.
In 2017, Dayun Auto launched the strategic plan for new energy passenger vehicles and built a highly automated and intelligent benchmark factory, with products covering three series of pure electric SUVs, MPVs and sedans.
In 2021, the launch of Dayun Yuehu and Dayun Yuanzhi M1 marked Dayun Auto's formal entry into the field of new energy passenger cars. Now, the launch of the Yuanhang Auto focuses on the 300,000-600,000 yuan luxury market, forming a high-low match with Dayun's new energy.
From 2004 to 2022, Dayun Group has been ploughing into the automotive field for 18 years, laying a solid foundation for Yuanhang Automobile. Relying on Dayun's car-making foundation and strength, Yuanhang Auto has a mature system to support its production, R&D and supply chain.
Pure electric platform that transcends driving boundaries
On the basis of its own core technology, Yuanhang Automobile integrates the world's top supply chain resources and co-operates in R&D with giants such as Bosch, Huawei, and Ali Zebra to create an overall technological competitive advantage.
Vice President of Bosch Engineering China delivered a speech on the spot
For example, the EV series models are equipped with Bosch's iBooster drive-by-wire and ESP9.3 system, and Ali Zebra AliOS for the intelligent cockpit, and Huawei's domain controller, in-vehicle gateway, and integrated thermal management system, etc.
With the support of Bosch, Huawei, Ali and other giants, Yuanhang Automobile has created the B.H.D high-end luxury pure electric platform, which is known as Beyond the Horizon of Drive, meaning beyond the boundary of driving.
The B.H.D platform incorporates a number of core technologies developed independently for new energy vehicle control, thermal management system, vehicle integration, computer simulation and analysis, lightweight design, etc. It is a masterpiece in the field of intelligent electric power, with three main features: ultra-flexibility, high performance, and evolvability.
The platform can derive different types of body structures, whether sedan, SUV, MPV, Cross, or station wagon can be fully covered. At the same time, the platform architecture has a wide enough bandwidth in terms of wheelbase and wheelbase parameters to easily meet the needs of models from B to D-segment, and can be freely combined in different drive forms.
The BHD platform adopts the United Electronics 800V Silicon Carbide high-efficiency electric drive assembly, which can explode a powerful power of nearly 700 horsepower. Thanks to the leading DEA domain-controlled electronic and electrical architecture, the intelligent hardware can be expanded and the software can be upgraded, and the continuous iterative evolution of the whole vehicle during the whole life cycle can be realised through OTA.
The first model will be mass-produced soon
At this year's Guangzhou Auto Show, Yuanhang brought two luxury D-class sedans, Yuanhang Y6 and Yuanhang Y7, as well as two luxury large SUVs, Yuanhang H8 and Yuanhang H9, with many highlights such as 800V super fast charging, 800km & 1,000km range, Zero Hundred Acceleration entering the 3-second club, and charging for 10 minutes to increase range by more than 300km.
The overall dimensions of the Yanghang Y6 are 5270 x 2000 x 1500 mm, with a wheelbase of 3130 mm. The streamlined roof outlines the sexy side profile, showing a simple yet elegant design quality. With frameless doors, hidden door handles and large-size wheels, a sense of luxury and technology is pulled together.
The sportier Yuanhang Y7, with a length, width and height of 5260 x 2000 x 1490 mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 3128 mm, boasts a smooth and sharp silhouette, dynamic flywire and borderless smart scissor doors.
With overall dimensions of 5230 x 2015 x 1760 mm and a wheelbase of 3126 mm, the Yuanhang H8 is visually wide and dominant, and highly modern in aesthetics. The iconic body flywire extends from the headlamps to the seamless bar-shaped tail lamps.
The Yuanhang H9 is an SUV with sports car characteristics, the overall size of the car will be slightly smaller than the Yuanhang H8, and the body lines are simple and advanced. The exterior also adopts a sports car sporty style with a more aggressive design.
In terms of configuration, all four models will be equipped with AliOS intelligent cockpit system, 17.38-inch large entertainment screen, 12.3-inch LCD instrumentation, 70-inch AR-HUD, immersive audio system (27-yang with separate amplifier), facial recognition Face ID and so on.
According to the plan, Yuanhang Y6 will soon land in mass production and is expected to open for media test drive early next year.
From the launch at the Chengdu Auto Show to the launch of the high-end luxury pure electric platform at the Guangzhou Auto Show, in a short span of just four months, Yuanhang Automobile has already established its roots in the high-end intelligent new energy vehicle market. Whether it can win the recognition of consumers in a shorter time and even change the competitive pattern of the market, let's wait and see.
