AT gearbox "and" dual clutch gearbox "who is stronger? Do you understand as an old driver?

Many friends will pay attention to the gearbox, one of the three major parts of the car, when buying a car: what kind of gearbox is carried by the car? As many people know, the dual-clutch engine has a high failure rate because of its instability. At present, the gearbox with the highest transmission efficiency is the manual gear, but although the manual gear is good, it is still a little overwhelmed by the new era. Let’s talk about automation.

I comparison of advantages and disadvantages between AT gearbox and dual clutch gearbox

1. The service life of AT gearbox is longer.

This involves the structural principles of two gearboxes. AT gearboxes usually use hydraulic torque converters, while dual-clutch gearboxes usually use clutch plates. The biggest difference between these two gearboxes is whether their internal components are directly connected together, and they are usually divided into rigid and non-rigid.

Because of the internal structure, the wear rate of AT is much higher than that of AT. Generally, the service life of AT is about 100,000 kilometers, and there is no need for overhaul.

Moreover, in the case of modern traffic congestion, the dual-clutch gearbox will stop and go, shift gears frequently, and the wear will become bigger and bigger. Usually, it has to be repaired before it reaches 100 thousand kilometers, and even needs to be replaced with a new clutch, which is why its life will be shorter than that of AT gearbox.

2. The AT gearbox has better stability and lower maintenance cost.

In fact, this is related to its internal structure, one is non-rigid connection and the other is rigid connection. Moreover, the maintenance cost of at gearbox in the later period is relatively low, and it is usually only necessary to change the oil of the gearbox. Therefore, as long as the owner takes good care of it and does not drive too hard in daily use, there will basically be no big problem.

However, because the dual-clutch gearbox changes gears too many times, it will cause internal wear, and the cost of overhaul is very high. Moreover, the dual-clutch gearbox is different from the manual gearbox, and the manual gearbox is damaged. Just change a part or clutch plate, but the dual-clutch gearbox may have to be completely replaced.

Although powershift is more fuel-efficient, its maintenance cost will also affect its fuel consumption. This is not to say that you can’t buy a dry powershift. Just be careful when driving, and don’t drive too hard. If there is a traffic jam, you can also choose manual mode.

Second, AT gearbox has a better reputation.

These two transmissions have a history of more than 100 years, but their development processes are different. Since the AT transmission was invented, many people have improved it. Powershift, on the other hand, was widely used more than 30 years ago.

Therefore, the stability of AT gearbox will be better, the technology will be more mature, and the transmission efficiency of dual-clutch gearbox will be higher, but from the perspective of durability and economy, AT gearbox may have more advantages.

Before this, there was a data analysis. Through the summary of statistics and opinions about automobile gearboxes, it was found that seven of the top ten gearboxes with the highest complaint frequency were dual-clutch gearboxes, and only one of them was at gearboxes. Therefore, if we look at the stability and reputation of gearbox quality, AT gearbox may be better.

No matter what kind of gearbox it is, it has its own advantages and disadvantages. The most important thing is that the owner should avoid using violence and develop good driving habits when driving. Only in this way, the service life of the gearbox will be longer, thus reducing the maintenance cost. Both gearboxes have been precipitated by the market and have been continuously improved and optimized for several years. Therefore, the main reason lies in the good or bad driving habits.

Mercedes-Maybach has another hard 1.468 million

Although cars can improve the convenience of people’s travel, safety is still an unavoidable topic. Therefore, many car companies have begun to upgrade the safety of their models. Of course, for consumers, a car with very complete active and passive safety configurations will be more popular. Although it is not outstanding, it can also reach the mainstream level of the same level. Let’s take a look at it next.

First of all, from the appearance, the front face of the Maybach S-class adopts a very fierce design, which looks sporty. With the headlights, the overall design is very clean. The car is equipped with LED daytime running lights, automatic opening and closing, adaptive far and near light, automatic steering, delayed closing, etc. Come to the side, the body size of the car is 5470MM*1921MM*1510MM, the car adopts hard-line lines, the side gives a very delicate feeling, and with large-sized thick-walled tires, it looks sporty. On the rear design, the Maybach S-class rear line is flamboyant, the tail lights show a spiritual design style, and the exhaust pipe layout uses a barrel shape, which is generally relatively simple.

Inside the car, the Maybach S-Class interior is relatively rustic, in line with the positioning of the car. The steering wheel of the car is very consistent with the interior style, and it is made of genuine leather, which gives a good grip. Take a look at the central control, the car is equipped with a touch-sensitive LCD central control screen, which makes the interior style impressive, and the overall design of the central control is remarkable. The instrument panel and seats are also eye-catching, and the instrument panel design is remarkable, which looks very technological. The car adopts leather seats, equipped with functions such as auxiliary seats with memory electric adjustment and seat with memory electric adjustment, which makes it very comfortable to ride.

The Maybach S-Class is matched with an automatic manual (AT) gearbox, with a maximum power of 450KW and a maximum torque of 900N.m, resulting in good power performance.

The Maybach S-Class is equipped with vehicles to everything, driving mode selection, remote control keys, rear window sunshades, interior ambient lights and other configurations, which are worth praising.

To sum up, this car performs well in terms of space and configuration. As for the exterior design, everyone has their own aesthetic.

Jinan transportation department issues risk warning for online car-hailing industry

Recently, many places across the country have issued warnings about the saturation of online car-hailing, and Sanya City in Hainan Province has decided to suspend the business of accepting online car-hailing business licenses and transportation licenses. Previously, the transportation department of Jinan City also issued a risk warning for the online car-hailing industry to remind employees. In the "second half" of the development of online car-hailing, what is the industry environment in Jinan? What changes have taken place in the market?

The efficiency of individual receiving orders has decreased, and one driver serves multiple "owners".

"Now the orders are not as good as before, the big orders can’t be received, and the small orders are tossed back and forth." In Jinan, Wang Xingyi has been working as an online taxi driver for four years, and he has run for more than 1,000 days from part-time to full-time. "In the first year, I worked part-time, and the number of orders was OK, especially on weekends, and I almost never stopped receiving orders." Wang Xingyi worked part-time, and the monthly flow was more than 8,000 yuan, so the second year he ran a full-time online taxi. What he didn’t expect was that with the passage of time, there were more and more Internet taxi platforms, and the number of online drivers was increasing day by day. The most obvious feeling was that the number of travel orders received was not as good as before.

At 10 am on the 11th, the reporter called a taxi from Jinan City Long-distance Bus Station through Autonavi Map, Meituan and other platforms. On the interface of the aggregation platform, there are nearly 100 taxi-hailing platforms in the economy category alone. After calling at the same time, drivers will soon take orders. "From the aggregation platform, you can see how many online taxi-hailing cars are running on the road in Jinan." Entering the car of Mr. Li, the driver of the timely car, the first thing that came into view was the three mobile phones in front of him. "Now it is not as good as before. There are too many platforms, and the passenger flow is scattered. Only one platform is attached to it, and the number of orders is not large. Multiple platforms have multiple opportunities." Mr. Li used "the east side is not bright and the west side is bright" to describe this operation method.

The phenomenon of online ride-hailing drivers docking to multiple platforms has become more common in recent years. The same car has more than one "owner" serving the same driver. By docking on multiple platforms, in addition to improving one’s order volume, it can also increase the probability of receiving large orders. "During peak periods, there are too many orders to start, which is not cost-effective and time-consuming. Sometimes it takes half an hour to block in the urban area," Mr. Li said. When multiple platform orders come in, you may encounter medium and long-distance orders to the airport or peripheral areas and counties.

Recently, a video of an online car-hailing driver’s car full of mobile phones receiving orders leaked out on the Internet. Multiple brackets were laid in the car, with eight or nine mobile phones on them, each mobile phone displaying a real-time picture of receiving orders from a platform. "In the past, there was a colleague who hung up on seven platforms at the same time, and the order came in at the same time, and it was all beeps," Mr. Li said. There is still an influx of people pouring in when the flexible market for online car-hailing is saturated

In recent years, there have been more and more drivers on online car-hailing platforms, and today, when the capacity is basically saturated, there are still many newcomers joining. "From the perspective of practitioners, the threshold for online car-hailing is low, the work is flexible, and everyone’s impression of online car-hailing drivers can earn more than 10,000 yuan a month by running around casually," Mr. Li believes.

"After the original job was sluggish, I wanted to change industries. After comprehensive consideration, I still think online car-hailing is more suitable." The reporter’s investigation found that there are not a few online car-hailing drivers who have the same opportunity as Mr. Li. The entry threshold is not high and the working method is relatively flexible, which makes online car-hailing a job option for many people.

For some young people, online car-hailing is also a "way out" for employment. "In the first year of graduation, I didn’t find my favorite job, so I thought about driving online car-hailing for a period of time, and I had a source of income. Later, I got used to it, and I have been doing it until now." Zhang Bo took running online car-hailing as his temporary job after graduating from university, which was also the fastest job he could find. "At that time, the traffic was still relatively large, so I didn’t have to worry about the list. After my college classmates at the time found out, some people also joined or worked part-time."

The fast and convenient way to call a car has made online car-hailing the first choice for many people to travel and take a taxi. The huge potential market development space at the beginning has attracted a batch of practitioners. Between the ages of 20 and 50, people in every age group are engaged in the profession of online car-hailing drivers.

"Every morning at 6 am, pick up the car and go home at 5 pm, there are no restrictions on the company’s various regulations. And in the two years when the market was good, we did make money." Zhang Bo said that in the first two years, it was very easy to take dozens of orders every day, and you could run more than 100 yuan in an hour. When you are tired, you can take a day or two off. For college students who have just left school and middle-aged people with a lot of family affairs, this relatively flexible work has a greater appeal.

In the interview, some online car-hailing drivers made a calculation to the reporter. In the first few years of the booming online car-hailing market, the average daily flow was around 800 yuan, but now the daily flow is less than 400 yuan. "After the Spring Festival, the cultural tourism market has recovered one after another, and the urban traffic counting has increased, but because there are many online car-hailing platforms and drivers, the passenger flow to their hands is not as high as expected." Mr. Jia said that some platforms have incentive mechanisms for drivers. There are rewards similar to "rushing orders" for receiving more orders. Coupled with the current decline in efficiency, many full-time online car-hailing drivers have increased their running time and saturated orders. Mr. Jia believes that the usual passenger flow is limited, there are more and more drivers, and everyone’s running time is about 10 hours a day, which has exacerbated the competition. My brother "switched to" some traditional taxis on the online car-hailing network without carrying

Jinan Urban and Rural Transportation Bureau in the network about car industry risk warning released a set of data, as of the end of March this year, Jinan registered a total of 69 network about car platform enterprises, registered network about car 17,800 vehicles, get the network about car qualification certificate driver 35,900. Affected by the network about car and the number of employees increased sharply and rapidly, according to statistical data estimates, the current network about car bicycle daily average number of orders less than 10 orders.

In recent years, the number of private cars in Jinan’s urban area has also been increasing, and the two types of vehicles are intertwined, which has a certain impact on road traffic during peak hours. Jinan City adheres to the basic idea of giving priority to the development of urban public transportation, developing taxis in a moderate and orderly manner, and optimizing the urban transportation structure for urban transportation layout. In the case of car-hailing saturation, there are still many people flooding into the market, which also diverts the flow of urban public transportation.

The reporter found that in addition to having a certain impact on urban traffic, the impact of online car-hailing on traditional cruise taxis is also very large. "In the first few years, when there were not so many platforms, online car-hailing ushered in a dividend period, and many people used it as a part-time means." The person in charge of a taxi company in Jinan told reporters that whether it is taxis or online car-hailing, it is a supplement to urban public transportation. Now residents are more inclined to ride-hailing than traditional cruise taxis, which allows online car-hailing to have a large market development space, but the space is ultimately limited. With the increase of platforms and the increase in the number of drivers, the market began to saturate.

The person in charge admitted that the online taxi-hailing industry has also attracted some traditional cruise taxi practitioners. Some taxi drivers do not renew their contracts with taxi companies after the contract expires, but choose online taxi-hailing instead. "Joining or renting a car is a more common way to recruit online car-hailing. It is more convenient for drivers to join, and the operation model is relatively flexible. In the past few years, the cruise taxi industry has lost a lot of drivers."

Jinan City’s online taxi booking industry risk warning notice also pointed out that at present, some online car-hailing platform companies are idle due to low orders, and some cruise cars are also unaccompanied due to difficulty in achieving expected returns. It is recommended that companies intending to engage in online car-hailing operations carefully research the market, gain a deeper understanding of policies, and cautiously invest in Jinan’s online car-hailing market to avoid economic losses.

Gilebach: Galaxy E8 to be released in the fourth quarter, with deliveries to start within the year

Netcom interview During the 2023 Chengdu Auto Show, in an exclusive interview with Netcom News Agency, Bach, deputy general manager of Geely Automobile Sales Company and general manager of Galaxy Business Unit, said that the E8 is Galaxy’s first pure electric product, and he hopes that the vehicle can become Galaxy’s pure electric flagship masterpiece. As time progresses, the E8 is planned to be released in the fourth quarter and deliveries will start within the year.

Netcom: What are the highlights of Geely’s booth this year?

Bach:Geely brought all the family to the exhibition, including the Galaxy Light concept car, Galaxy L7, Galaxy L6 and other Galaxy series; China Star, Emgrand, and Planet and other auspicious star series; Panda mini, Geometric E Firefly and other geometric series were on display; there was also a new generation of Raytheon 8848 technology display. The biggest highlight this time is the pre-sale of Geely Galaxy L6 released today on the booth.

Netcom: Geely Galaxy L7 has become one of the best-selling hybrid models within 200,000 yuan since its launch. Galaxy is a new mid-to-high-end new energy series launched by Geely brand. Its first product, L7, is placed in the 150,000-class electric hybrid SUV market that has been dominated by the first movers. What do you think are the reasons behind it?

Bach:For many reasons, first of all, the domestic market has a large hybrid market, and this year there is a relatively large outbreak. The first half of the data is probably more than 90% growth space, so thanks to such a day.

In addition, we have relatively solid product fundamentals. On the one hand, our Raytheon electric hybrid technology, such as Raytheon three-speed variable frequency electric drive and mass-produced engine with peak thermal efficiency, allows electric hybrid products to achieve more extreme performance in terms of energy saving and performance. Another example is our battery quality, the Aegis battery safety system equipped with Geely Galaxy L7, which conducts more than 100 battery pack-level basic tests based on full-scenario extreme operating conditions, 80 more than the national standard, and the safety quality has passed the rigorous tests of many industry authorities.

On the other hand, Geely Galaxy L7 has also inherited Geely’s long-standing excellent product genes, including chassis and vehicle safety.

In addition, on this basis, we have also equipped this product with some of our internal features called charm configuration, such as some functions related to smart cockpit, such as pampering the co-pilot, multi-screen linkage, etc., which are now popular among young consumers.

So in general, on the one hand, the overall growth of the big environment is relatively good, and on the other hand, the products are specially developed and designed for the hybrid market. Combining these two aspects, coupled with Geely Automobile Group’s early strategic layout and deep technical investment in the new energy field, it has now built a complete set of strict intelligent electric vehicle industry chain system, covering from three electricity, chip, intelligent architecture, to intelligent cockpit, intelligent driving, intelligent computing center, to production and manufacturing, battery recycling and other technical fields. There have been more than 3,500 patented technologies in the new energy field, providing a strong technical guarantee for building safer new energy vehicles.

Net News Agency: You also mentioned that the Galaxy L6 starts pre-sale today. In fact, the competition in this segment is still very fierce. In this context, what are your expectations for it, and what are its competitive advantages compared to similar products?

Bach:L6 is the most intense A-class sedan market in China, so I think you must have real product strength in this field.

On the one hand, it inherits the family factors, hybrid system, 3DHT, and battery, including architecture, chassis, and our basic product mechanical qualities. In addition, we also carry the 8155 chip, and Galaxy’s operating system, including the AI big model we have introduced now, can do voice conversations outside the car, which makes Geely Galaxy series cars, including L6, have many new and different ways to play. That is, what I just said, the basic quality of the product and the charm configuration can be combined in this product.

At the same time, the L6 product, in this field, can achieve both power and energy saving, both maneuverability and comfort, which is relatively rare.

Netcom News Agency: In the past 5 months from Galaxy’s official announcement to the present, there are only 2 products, and the sales performance is good. In addition to sales, what progress has been made in channel construction? And has the sales performance met the original expectations?

Bach:First, we have created a new channel ecosystem of compound franchise authorization for the Galaxy series, with "a new channel ecosystem, a new service standard, and a new user experience", striving to "satisfy users" as the standard of Geely Galaxy. At present, our Galaxy stores across the country have reached more than 400, and it is expected to reach 650-700 by the end of the year. This scale has basically covered the vast majority of consumer areas. Even if there are more than 400 now, most consumers can buy cars nearby.

Second, we have also realized the model of online and offline channel linkage. Based on the digital empowerment of Xingrui Smart Computing Center, Geely Galaxy stores have created a "digital exhibition hall" to connect the full link of user car purchase by digital means, so as to achieve double improvement of service efficiency and user experience. Users can skip the annoying bargaining link, directly place an order through the online payment platform, and visually track the status of the vehicle anytime, anywhere; furthermore, the details are more attentive. For example, when users book a test drive through the Geely Galaxy APP, even the drinks they want to drink that day can be selected online and enjoyed directly at the store.

Continuously strengthening service quality and service quality, that is, the service level of national channels is also moving towards a new level, so relatively speaking, there is still considerable progress in these aspects.

Going purely online, users can directly place orders online, including reservations, including delivery, all of which can be fully reflected in our online.

Network News Agency: A few days ago, the Galaxy E8 has also seen some voices. Users have very high expectations for this car. Let’s briefly introduce the positioning of this car and what product advantages it will have after it goes on sale.

Bach:It is not convenient to disclose too much information now. I will pick some core points. The length of this car is more than 5 meters, which is based on the SEA architecture. In addition, in the cockpit, we now directly release a 45-inch, 8K high definition smart screen to you, which will carry more car applications in the future.

E8 is Galaxy’s first pure electric product, and we hope it can become Galaxy’s pure electric flagship masterpiece. As time goes by, we will meet users one after another in the fourth quarter, and finally go on the market and achieve delivery within the year.

Netcom: In the past two years, users have been considering an increasingly high proportion of intelligent driving when choosing a car. What do you think of this issue and Geely’s layout in this area?

Bach:Geely invested relatively early in intelligent driving, and invested relatively high in these traditional manufacturers in China. This ability at the L2 level is available. Later, we will also target the related capabilities of NOA, and continue to launch corresponding products through the superposition of products. There will also be product plans in the future, and NOA will also meet with users during the year. In this regard, including the L6, L7, and E8 mentioned just now, NOA will eventually be available.

In addition, most of Geely’s layout in this area is self-researched, which is actually Geely’s long-term layout, including our low-orbit satellites to provide high-precision positioning for future mobile travel. Therefore, the technological achievements of smart Geely 2025 will gradually be landed and empowered on Galaxy products.

Network News Agency: This year’s intelligent driving has been very popular, but Geely may not have performed so well in terms of the overall model price.

Bach:We can pull out some space to give the user experience. So this is also a process of gradual adaptation. People who choose new energy products in the early stage will pay more attention to smart cockpit and smart driving, but now in fact, new energy products have reached a stage of popularization. When they are popularized to the vast majority of users, they may not care much about smart cockpit or smart driving at the beginning, but as time goes by, he will find that this thing is easy to use and convenient for it, so the popularity rate will gradually increase.

NEWS: This year, the new energy penetration rate in the automotive market has approached 30%, and it is likely to reach 35% or even higher in the second half of the year. At present, Geely’s new energy sales are not rising month-on-month in the past few months. What do you think of Geely’s overall performance in the new energy market and Geely’s follow-up plans for the whole?

Bach:In the first half of the year, Geely’s overall new energy sales were nearly 200,000, and there were about 40,000 sales in July. In the field of new energy, as far as the Geely brand is concerned, we now have two major new energy pillars, Galaxy and Geometry. Geometry is biased towards popular pure electric products. Galaxy’s mid-to-high-end new energy products, especially the first two products of our Galaxy are mainly hybrid, and then the following products are mainly pure electric, and the overall layout is relatively perfect. Therefore, whether it is from low to high, or from hybrid to pure electric, Geely has been in the horizontal and vertical layout, which can gradually be reflected in our sales.
