Solution details
As the first European-style wide-body light passenger car platform for SAIC Motor's own brand commercial vehicles, this project carries out forward design based on the original LDV model technology and in accordance with the CVDP development process. It adopts modularity, simultaneous development of left and right rudders, and uses a large number of CAE virtual analysis and real vehicle verification methods to ensure that the product fully leads domestic competitors in terms of vehicle reliability, safety and comfort. The main advanced technologies and innovation points are as follows:
- The development of new interior styling and fashionable exterior styling is committed to guiding the commercialization of commercial vehicle styling into passenger cars. It comprehensively improves the quality and contemporary sense of the vehicle in terms of styling, making the V80 styling more personalized among similar models. Features and identifiability enhance market competitiveness
- Match and apply powertrains that have reached the international advanced level (VM technology engine, WIA Company's 5MT/6MT transmission assembly, SAIC Transmission Company's 6MT manual/6AMT manual automatic transmission assembly), through calibration to achieve Euro IV/Euro V emissions, a new matching dual mass flywheel +6MT transmission configuration, innovative integration of advanced technologies such as dual mass flywheel and CSC hydraulic release bearings on domestic commercial vehicles for the first time, the vibration and noise of the transmission system, Clutch handling performance reached the passenger car level, through independent integration matching took the lead in launching the domestic wide-body light passenger market, and integrated ESP, HHC, CAN and other advanced technologies, effectively enriched the product configuration, expanded the product line
- Development of a new four-wheel disc brake, with two suspension configurations: front independent suspension + rear gradual stiffness leaf spring or air suspension, taking into account handling stability, riding comfort and carrying capacity through chassis adjustment
- Newly develop the vehicle electronic architecture, BCM integrated control applications and instruments, assembly electronic modules, and full-vehicle lamps, integrating and matching BOSCH's latest ESP9 electronic stability system in the world
- Development has been greatly improved in body rigidity and door cover performance, improvement in the shape of sheet metal covers for side walls and door covers, and re-matching development of active and passive safety
- Development of a new air conditioning system, with multiple seat types and function combinations effectively meeting the needs of different models and different customers
7. During the project development process, we made full use of the Group's superior resources, fully applied the GVDP global vehicle development process and the GPDP global powertrain development process, and gradually established and improved SAIC Motor's own brand commercial vehicle development system.
The V80 models cover Zunjie, Shangjie, Business Travel, Yunjie, VAN, SV62, RV and other series. The model spectrum covers short axis, long medium, extended axis/high roof, medium roof, low roof, and ultra-low roof, reaching the international level of current wide-body light passenger products, achieving the simultaneous and rapid launch of series models in domestic and foreign markets, and the domestic and overseas market share continues to increase. As of the end of 2014, the wide-body light passenger market share reached 12%, ranking among the top three in the domestic market. Overseas markets have blossomed in many places. Vehicle products have passed ECE certification, Australian ADR certification, Gulf GCC certification, Chile and other vehicle export certifications. They have been exported to Malaysia and other countries through CKD export, and have successfully entered developed countries such as the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. The market has realized the company's products 'strategy of returning to Europe. As of the end of 2014, overseas sales of V80 models accounted for 10% of the total sales, and are expected to reach 20% in 2015, which has effectively enhanced SAIC Group's international image.
