Analysis on the types of automobile automatic gearbox: Who is better, AT, DCT or CVT?

First of all, it should be emphasized that the dual-clutch gearbox is divided into wet dual-clutch and dry dual-clutch. Volkswagen’s low-end models use 7-speed dry dual clutch, while the high-end models use wet dual clutch. Therefore, under certain circumstances, Volkswagen’s 7-speed dry dual clutch is still prone to problems, which also makes the dry dual clutch worse than CVT continuously variable gearbox in some cases.

1. Volkswagen’s 7-speed wet dual clutch shift is fast and stable.

Volkswagen models with 2.0T are mainly equipped with 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearboxes. This gearbox is obviously faster than the gearbox in shifting speed, and can accelerate faster under the same power, and it is also quite stable. There are no other disadvantages except a strong sense of low-speed shifting. Volkswagen’s 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox is also mounted on some models, so its performance can still be fully recognized.

2. The performance of Volkswagen 7-speed wet dual clutch gearbox is higher than that of CVT continuously variable gearbox.

As mentioned earlier, the stability order of automatic gearbox is AT>DCT>CVT, so we know that DCT dual clutch gearbox is better than CVT continuously variable gearbox. However, the dual clutch gearbox here refers to the wet dual clutch gearbox, not the dry dual clutch gearbox. Volkswagen’s 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox has good heat dissipation, faster shifting speed and greater endurance, which has obvious advantages over CVT continuously variable gearbox. However, CVT continuously variable gearbox can’t bear large torque, and it is easy to slip at high speed, so its performance can’t compete with wet dual clutch gearbox.

3. Volkswagen 7-speed dry dual clutch system is widely used in vehicles and has good feedback performance.

Whether Volkswagen’s 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox can be bought is mainly due to concerns about dry dual-clutch gearbox. Volkswagen mainly uses 7-speed dry dual-clutch gearbox on low-end models, such as,, and so on, which are popular models of Volkswagen. The 7-speed dry dual-clutch gearbox is used on these models, and the overall feedback performance is also good. Of course, Volkswagen’s 7-speed dry dual-clutch gearbox, its frequent shifting causes the gearbox temperature to rise, and occasionally the gearbox will stop shifting, which is also the reason why people are worried about whether the Volkswagen dual-clutch gearbox can be bought, but in reality this situation is still relatively rare.

Summary: Volkswagen’s 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox is well worth buying, especially Volkswagen’s wet dual-clutch gearbox, because it is used in Volkswagen’s mid-to high-end models. Volkswagen’s dry dual-clutch gearbox also performed well. There are still many models on the market that use Volkswagen’s 7-speed dry dual-clutch gearbox, and no major problems have been found yet.

Omnidirectional active safety is the real skill, ask the new M5 omnidirectional anti-collision system to lead the same level

Recently, Yu Chengdong’s remarks at the "16th China Automotive Blue Book Forum" have attracted widespread attention and caused waves in the automotive industry. He claimed that the first omnidirectional anti-collision system not only has all-round protection capabilities for forward, lateral and backward, but also exceeds the existing industry standards in some performance. With the go LIVE column of Yiche’s "Easy Start" column, the active safety capabilities of the new M5 and three popular new energy vehicles are also evaluated horizontally. Let’s take a look at who has the higher active and passive safety factor!

1718787995506

In daily driving, it is inevitable that there will be some unexpected situations. In the face of the "corner and stationary vehicle" scene, the new M5 has excellent performance in recognition, emergency braking and collision avoidance. Even if the speed is 80km/h, it starts to stop in time, while the ideal L6 and Tesla Model Y failed to complete this round of testing.

1718788189011

In the obliquely distributed cone barrel test, the new M5 drove to the 90cm and 60cm piles at 100km/h and 60km/h, respectively, and could automatically stop. Model Y and L6 could recognize the 90cm and 60cm piles at 60km/h, but there was no prompt or braking action.

1718788272858

1718788289946

In the test, the ideal L6 and Tesla Model Y did not recognize the lateral risk when the water horse invaded the lane. However, the new M5 recognized the lateral risk and avoided the danger by interfering with the steering in the opposite direction of the obstacle.

1718788317912

In the test of reversing pedestrians and reversing vehicles, the Wenjiexin M5 can accurately identify and stop vehicles. The Ideal L6 and Tesla Model Y are not equipped with backward AEB and did not participate in this round of testing. It is worth mentioning that looking at the mainstream products of various car companies in the industry, there are few vehicle configurations.

17187883735991718788388537

Because the whole system is equipped with HUAWEI ADS 2.0 high-end intelligent driving system as standard, and adopts the "lidar + visual perception" fusion solution, the new M5 has successfully passed a number of tests. The ideal L6 only has the high-end Max version to provide lidar + visual fusion perception solution, and the Pro version only provides pure visual solution. Tesla Model Y only provides pure visual solution.

1718788471797

In terms of passive safety, the Wenjie new M5 is also worthy of praise. The high-strength steel used in the body accounts for more than 60%, of which hot-formed steel accounts for 19.5%, which has the characteristics of ultra-high tensile strength. Combined with the cage safety body, the torsional stiffness reaches 1.5 times that of Tesla Model Y, which is worthy of "small land".

1718788515790

In terms of performance, the new M5 adopts the same series of M9 front four ball head double fork arm, rear multi-link independent suspension, the only all-aluminum chassis in the same class, combined with HUAWEI DATS 2.0 and star ring scatter, Metropolis red new color scheme and other advantages, not only flexible driving control, but also stable opening.

1718788594356

The series of AEB active safety auxiliary features have been verified in many instances. For example, cyclists who suddenly appear in the field of vision can be quickly identified by the active safety function of the M5 and stopped in time to avoid accidents.

(The picture comes from the Internet.)

Are you looking for an SUV that takes into account high-end smart driving, omnidirectional anti-collision ability and strong performance? I think as an all-round powerful player of the rim, the new M5 must be the first choice! And the starting price is 249,800 yuan, and this month you can also enjoy up to 35,000 yuan of car purchase rights, including: ADS high-end function package subsidy rights worth 20,000 yuan, optional rights worth 12,000 yuan and cash rights worth 3,000 yuan.

Luxin Venture Capital: Dig deep into "Moments" and introduce "hard technology"

  The ecosystem built by technology and products of technology enterprises is profoundly changing life scenes and industrial patterns. In the current era of accelerating towards intelligence, innovative technology ecology has increasingly become a key element for the transformation of old and new kinetic energy and the high-quality development of industries.

  Technology ecosystem refreshes smart experience

  What kind of intelligent experience can a technology ecosystem bring?

  Driving a smart car, encountering complex traffic scenarios such as road construction obstacles, pedestrians crossing the road, and suddenly appearing electric vehicles, can identify dangers earlier and faster, easily change lanes to avoid obstacles, actively avoid risks, and actively stop.

  Using a smart PC, you can quickly and accurately extract key information from text, audio, and video content without time and effort;

  Open the smart screen and point to the remote control to make the control as convenient as playing with a mobile phone;

  Wearing smart earphones, you can automatically switch the noise reduction mode according to the environment without hands, and smart watches and smart bracelets can detect health indicators and generate micro-physical examination reports;

  Install the smart door lock, no matter the light is bright or dark, the angle and distance change can be accurately and securely unlocked by facial recognition…

  The most important thing is that all these products can achieve synergy, such as mobile phones can be remotely parked, watches can be used as car keys, mobile phone applications can be "touched" to the car screen, smart screen, and even smart door locks can be linked with mobile phones, smart screens, and other multi-screens.

  This is the full scenario of the Internet of Everything showcased at Huawei Hongmeng Ecological Spring Communication Conference on April 11. The underlying distributed capabilities of Hongmeng Ecological can achieve full-scene device collaboration, allowing smart experiences to pervade all aspects of people’s lives.

  "Since January 18 this year, Huawei announced that the first batch of more than 200 application manufacturers are accelerating the development of Hongmeng native applications. By the end of March, there will be more than 4,000 applications, and the growth rate will be as high as 20 times in just two months, covering more vertical applications." Yu Chengdong, executive director of Huawei, CEO of end point BG, and chairperson of smart car solutions BU, revealed at the communication meeting that Hongmeng ecology has achieved a complete vertical industry coverage, including convenient life, travel and tourism, financial management, social information, productivity tools, corporate office, audio and video entertainment. Applications in various fields are competing to start Hongmeng native application development, constantly injecting new vitality into Hongmeng ecology.

  Among them, it is particularly worthy of attention that Huawei, which "does not build cars", is helping more car companies to "build good cars": with more than 30 years of technical accumulation in the ICT field, it has shown obvious advantages through Hongmeng Zhixing ecology to help the commercial success of automotive industry partners. Taking the Q Jie jointly built by Huawei and Sailis as an example, the number of phenomenon-level explosive models Q Jie’s new M7 is set to reach 174,000 in 7 months; the full-scene smart flagship SUV Q Jie M9 has been listed in just three months. A total of 70,000 vehicles have been set to break through, breaking the domestic 500,000 yuan level luxury car sales speed record. In the first quarter of this year, the cumulative sales of the new M7 reached 74,400 units, winning the first place in the sales of single models of new forces in China.

  "If China wants to build a good car, it cannot do without Huawei. If China wants to go from an automobile power to an automobile power, it needs the empowerment of Huawei Hongmeng System." Yin Tongyue, secretary of the party committee and chairperson of Chery Holding Group Co., Ltd., said at the communication meeting. When talking about the S7 smart car of Hongmeng Zhixing, which Chery has cooperated with Huawei, Yin Tongyue said that the smart world is Chery’s most important project. Chery has become an independent business unit of the Lizhijie brand, led by the R & D leader and the manufacturing leader, and the exclusive manufacturing industrial production line and special project resources are guaranteed.

  Full scene artificial intelligence deeply empowered

  From smart travel to smart home, from smart office to smart wear, Hongmeng’s new products are packed with various innovative technologies, among which AI (artificial intelligence) is undoubtedly a high-frequency word.

  One of the biggest highlights of the new Huawei MateBook X Pro laptop released at the Hongmeng Ecological Spring Communication Conference is its thinness, with a thickness of only 13.5 mm and a weight of only 980 grams. According to Yu Chengdong, the MateBook X Pro is the only notebook equipped with Intel Core Ultra 9 high-performance processor within 1kg, and it is also the world’s first 14.2-inch flexible OLED notebook. More notably, this is the first time that Huawei PC has applied Huawei Pangu model. Its AI summary function can quickly and accurately extract key information from text, audio and video content. In addition, the MateBook X Pro is also equipped with Huawei AI space function for the first time. Through this one-stop AI ability aggregation entrance, it can make code programming, PPT production, paper reading and typesetting, collection of learning materials, video picture creation, travel planning and other scenes more efficient and convenient. On this heavyweight AI PC, Huawei also jointly tuned with Wanxing Meow Shadow to call NPU for AI special effects creation, bringing users a smarter and more efficient experience; in cooperation with WPS, it brings a series of AI functions including text intelligent typesetting, dialogue operation tables, and brain map-to-PPT.

  It is understood that the AI capabilities of the Pangu model have been mainly used in the industry before. This move on the PC track will be an important step in the exploration of the Pangu model on the consumer side, and the on-board smart assistant Xiaoyi will also be connected to the Huawei Pangu model in May.

  In fact, not only is there a big model blessing, but the new products of Hongmeng Ecological all scenes are deeply empowered by AI technology. For example, behind the staggering smart driving capabilities of the Smart World S7 is Huawei’s rich scene library built on the AI training cluster, in which more than 12 million kilometers of simulation tests are carried out every day, and the learning and training computing power reaches 3.3E FLOPS (tens of billions of floating-point operations per second). The model update speed is iterated every 5 days, and the intelligent driving ability is continuously iterated and upgraded with massive data; the AI camera equipped with Huawei’s smart screen has powerful intelligent perception capabilities, which can realize 3D bone recognition, sitting posture or distance reminders, portrait tracking, etc.; Huawei Smart Door Lock Plus applies self-developed AI technology to 3D facial recognition, which not only independently learns subtle changes in the face and environment, but also has powerful AI 3D anti-counterfeiting detection, and can resist photos, videos, masks Five attack methods, such as headgear and 3D headmold, ensure that facial recognition is more convenient, safer and smarter from the bottom of the technology.

  Accumulate new potential energy to open up more space

  With this year’s "artificial intelligence +" being written into the government work report for the first time, artificial intelligence is expected to deeply empower the development of the real economy and become an important engine for the development of new quality productivity. At the application level, artificial intelligence is deeply integrated with all walks of life, and is expected to build a data-driven, man-machine collaboration, cross-border integration, and co-creation and sharing of intelligent economic forms, giving birth to new economic growth points.

  Take the PC industry as an example. The industry generally believes that AI PCs will reshape users’ PC experience, profoundly change people’s work patterns and lifestyles, improve the efficiency of the whole scene, and set off a new round of PC replacement.

  IDC, a market research firm, reports that the proportion of AI PCs installed in China’s PC market will only be 8.1% in 2023, and the proportion will increase significantly to 54.7% in 2024. It is expected to rise rapidly in the next few years, reaching 85% in 2027 and becoming the mainstream of the PC market.

  Huaxin Securities Research Report said that the AI PC usage scenarios are highly overlapping with the application scenarios currently covered by the AI big model, and are called "the best carrier of the big model." Chip processor manufacturers such as Qualcomm, AMD, and Intel have launched processors for AI PCs.

  Industry insiders believe that the launch of AI PC products by the top end point brand marks the arrival of the AI PC era. At present, Apple, Microsoft and other tech giants have released AI PCs. As the top three manufacturers in the domestic PC market and the only one growing against the trend, Huawei’s entry into the new AI PC track will help the recovery of the PC industry chain and is expected to add new vitality to the PC industry.

Deep Web | From Hundred Regiments War, takeaway competition to present on all major platforms, how Meituan has gone through these 8 years?

  Founded in 2010, Meituan finally knocked on the door of IPO after eight years. On June 22, Meituan submitted a listing application to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. If the IPO is successful, Meituan will become the largest listed company in the O2O field in history.

  According to the Meituan prospectus disclosed by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange today, the number of transactions completed by the company’s platform in 2017 exceeded 5.80 billion, and the transaction volume reached 357 billion yuan. The operating income from 2015 to 2017 was 4 billion yuan, 13 billion yuan and 33.90 billion yuan respectively, an increase of 223.2% and 161.2% respectively year-on-year, and the income increased by more than seven times in three years. Meituan’s adjusted net loss continued to narrow, from – 5.90 billion yuan in 2015 to – 5.40 billion yuan in 2016, and further narrowed to – 2.85 billion yuan in 2017, and the loss was halved within three years.

  Among the many start-up companies in the O2O field, Meituan should be regarded as a lucky "outlier". From imitating Groupon’s group buying business earlier, to expanding its business scope with the Amazon model as a reference in the later stage, Meituan has been reclassified into the team of Internet Tech Giants.

  Make another Meituan

  Meituan’s most recent financing was in October 2017, when it received a $4 billion round of F financing led by Tencent, with a post-money valuation of $30 billion. If calculated at the valuation of $60 billion listed on the market, it means that Meituan’s valuation has doubled in less than a year.

  In the past few years, Meituan has shown extremely strong ambitions in its field and has become a force to be reckoned with on China’s internet landscape.

  Starting from group buying, but not ending with group buying. Meituan has its own logic and considerations, starting from a single group buying business and gradually expanding to local life service related fields including Internet takeout, online travel, fresh food e-commerce, online car-hailing, shared bicycles, etc.

  2015 was an important watershed since Meituan was established. At that time, it completed the acquisition with Dianping, which enriched Dianping’s store-to-store service in addition to the original group buying and takeaway business. It was a year when Meituan focused on building a platform and an ecosystem. After winning the war in the era of group buying and O2O, Meituan began to open up a new battlefield.

  The intensive organizational restructuring witnessed the expansion of Meituan’s size.

  In 2015, Meituan established a total of four business groups, including the takeaway delivery business group, the hotel tourism business group, and the store business group, and established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Maoyan Culture Media Co., Ltd. (later spun off and acquired by Guangguang Media).

  The latest adjustment is after the completion of 4 billion US dollars financing in December last year, Meituan will build a new store business group, large retail business group, hotel tourism business group and travel business unit four business systems, and establish Strategy and Investment platform.

  "Looking to the future, the opportunities and challenges are great," said Wang Xing, Meituan’s chief executive, in an internal email at the time. The opportunity is that the new business will hopefully help Meituan achieve faster growth, but at the same time, the challenges from peer competitors should not be underestimated.

  According to the prospectus, Meituan has maintained partnerships with approximately 339,200 hotels in China as of December 31, 2017. In 2017, the number of domestic hotel room nights booked on Meituan’s platform totaled about 205 million, an increase of 56% over 2016, and set a record for 1.57 million domestic hotel room nights in a single day.

  Online domestic attractions and excursion package booking service, as of December 31, 2017, Meituan covers about 330 cities and about 16,500 attractions across the country. Meituan provides consumers with a convenient, safe and cheap way to buy national attractions and excursion packages. In 2017, Meituan sold approximately 97 million domestic attraction tickets.

  In terms of numbers, Meituan’s wine travel business has ample confidence to fight against Ctrip, and it has also begun to attack Ctrip’s core business, high-star hotels.

  Not only the wine travel industry. Since February last year, Meituan has been operating a low-key online car-hailing business in Nanjing. At 0:00 on March 21, 2018, Meituan took a taxi and officially landed in Shanghai. At about 22:00 that night, Meituan announced that Shanghai had completed the first day of breaking through 150,000 orders. Obviously, Meituan extended its competitive tentacles to the Internet travel giant Didi, and caused the latter to respond violently.

  These later diversified businesses provided Meituan with sufficient foundation to enhance its own value.

  Benchmarking Amazon, but more than that

  While bringing innovation impetus to the industry, Meituan is also inevitably involved in multi-dimensional chaos.

  This is not unrelated to the ultimate goal of Wang Xing and Meituan. A person close to Meituan’s senior management once revealed Wang Xing’s thinking to "Deep Web": Wang Xing’s strategic thinking and goal has always been to be a super platform for life services, and new businesses including taxi-hailing are in line with such strategic goals in his opinion. In this way, it can not only acquire more new traffic for the super platform by continuously launching new businesses, but also find more channels to monetize the huge users and traffic gathered by the super platform, so as to continuously enhance Meituan’s value and valuation.

  Mr. Wang has mentioned Amazon on many occasions and it is often compared to the tech giant, but Meituan does not seem content to stop at the Chinese version of Amazon.

  In an interview with The Information, a Silicon Valley technology news outlet, Mr. Wang said: "Users can buy a lot of things on Amazon or Taobao, but both are just e-commerce platforms for physical goods, while Meituan is an e-commerce platform for services." He added, "What kind of e-commerce platform can have millions or even billions of transactions?"

  In fact, in the past year, 320 million users have made at least one purchase on Meituan. Meituan says that about 90% of user traffic comes from its own app, which greatly reduces the cost of users trying new services.

  Meituan is not satisfied with this. It has bigger ambitions. Wang Xing believes that Meituan will serve the middle class 650 million China in the future, and smartphones are almost all ubiquitous among this group.

  Among all Meituan’s businesses, high-frequency takeaway business is the core of the core, and Meituan’s "let everyone eat better and live better" just illustrates this point.

  The prospectus disclosed that Meituan’s takeaway transaction volume in 2017 was 171 billion yuan, and Meituan’s transaction volume in 2017 reached 357 billion yuan, which means that the takeaway business accounted for 47.8% of Meituan’s overall transaction volume.

  In May this year, Meituan Takeaway announced that it completed more than 20 million orders per day, becoming the first takeaway platform in the world to reach such a scale. Looking back at past data, Meituan Takeaway has reached 10 million daily orders in more than 3 years since its establishment, and it took just one year to break through 20 million daily orders.

  Compete with the giants

  While food delivery data is growing wildly, Meituan’s competitors in the food delivery market are also escalating.

  Since the establishment of Meituan takeaway, the takeaway market has evolved a new pattern with new retail as the core. If it was a one-on-one showdown between Meituan and Ele.me before, then after Ali acquired Ele.me at the beginning of this year, Meituan needs to face the coordinated battle between Ele.me, Baidu takeaway, word-of-mouth and Ali.

  In dealing with the relationship with Ali, Wang Xing is very firm, and he even publicly pointed out the dispute with Ali: "The reason why it sold our old shares last year was to interfere with our financing. If you are not optimistic about this company, you can just sell it out. We have already helped them find a buyer. But he refused to sell it out. He must keep some, maybe in order to continue to cause us some trouble in the future."

  According to iResearch, Meituan was the world’s largest food delivery service provider in 2017, with its market share in China increasing from 31.7% in 2015 to 56% in 2017 and 59.1% in Quarter 1 of 2018.

  The difference is that Meituan is heading in a completely different direction from Ele.me, with diverse coverage centering on local services.

  On the one hand, there is Ele.me, the earliest player in the takeaway market, and on the other hand, Meituan, who is backed by Tencent and the late mover, will eventually become a player in the harvest market. It is still a question in the short term. However, it is foreseeable that Ali, who is up the ante layout of new retail, and Meituan, who has just established a new retail business group, are bound to ignite the war again.

  In the new travel war, Meitu also started a listing race with Didi. According to the "Hong Kong Economic Daily" report, Didi will start listing as soon as the second half of this year, initially decided to settle in Hong Kong, China, and consider different listing structures, not excluding the listing of the same shares and different rights. It is expected that the market value of Didi will reach 70 billion – 80 billion US dollars when it goes public.

  Obviously, Meituan has taken the starting line one step earlier than Didi, but it remains doubtful whether it can shake up Didi, the transportation giant.

  potential threat

  Wang Xing’s goal of unlimited boundaries has allowed Meituan to step into some of the most expensive battlefields of the Chinese internet in a short period of time. But when it tries to raise more capital from domestic investors to expand its business, it has few options.

  The Information reported in early June this year that Wang Xing had approached SoftBank for a capital injection, but was unsuccessful. Meituan had also intended to raise $3 billion from the Private Offering Fund at a valuation of $40 billion. Meituan later denied the news.

  Meituan’s earnings pressure cannot be ignored. Although other businesses other than food delivery have achieved overall profitability, with the competition in the food delivery market "three into two" and the competition with Didi in the travel field, Meituan still needs a lot of capital investment.

  According to the prospectus, Meituan’s adjusted net loss fell from 5.90 billion yuan in 2015 to 5.40 billion yuan in 2016, and fell to 2.85 billion yuan in 2017, halving the loss within three years.

  In addition, the travel business is also the source of Meituan’s cost. Although it has experienced many close battles in the group buying and takeaway markets and achieved good results, Meituan is undoubtedly a new recruit in the travel industry, and there are still many variables in whether it can achieve a turnaround against the wind. Investment subsidies are obviously the best way to quickly gain market share.

  According to the "deep net", Meituan taxi in Nanjing on the line when the single subsidy is about 20 yuan, if according to its announced in December 2017 the daily order volume exceeds 100,000 single calculation, its subsidy in Nanjing only one day reached 2 million.

  36Kr also revealed the power of Meituan taxi investment, including Beijing and other cities on the line of taxi business, the company prepared 1 billion dollars (about 6.30 billion yuan), and not capped.

  Meituan acquired Mobike in April for a total price of $3.70 billion, including 65% cash, 35% Meituan stock, and assumed Mobike’s debt between $500 million – $1 billion.

  In an interview with foreign media, Wang Xing said, "In the past few years, we have been working hard to ensure that the company is always ready to go public at any time." In addition to financial considerations, another impetus for Meituan’s listing came from the many investors behind it. Data show that Meituan has raised a total of 8.30 billion US dollars since its establishment, and investors have reached the moment to reap the rewards.

  In the eight years since its establishment, Meituan has experienced many variables in the market, and it can be said that it has come to this day through thorns. However, going public is obviously not the end of Meituan, and a competition with giants has really begun.
