In recent economic reports, both Apple and Boeing face different challenges
Apple’s Greater China business continued to come under pressure, while Boeing disbanded its global diversification unit
Beijing time on November 1st, Apple released the fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2024, Apple achieved revenue of $94.93 billion in the quarter, an increase of 6.07%; net profit of $14.736 billion, a decrease of 35.81%
Among them, the business in Greater China was under pressure, and the revenue in the quarter was 15.033 billion US dollars, down 0.3% year-on-year, which was down again after a 6.5% year-on-year decline in the second quarter
Apple’s U.S. stocks fell nearly 2% after trading as quarterly profits missed expectations.
Meanwhile, Boeing has been struggling and has disbanded its global diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) unit, becoming the latest high-profile company to adjust its DEI policy
Boeing’s new CEO Kelly Otterberg is streamlining the company’s operations and cutting its executive ranks as part of a plan to cut 10% of its workforce
The shift comes at a time when large U.S. companies are facing increasing pressure to undo or downplay their efforts on diversity, equity, and inclusion
While Boeing’s workforce has traditionally been predominantly white and male, under former CEO Dave Calhoun, the company has stepped up efforts to hire more black employees and other minority employees
However, anti-DEI activist Robbie Starbuck, who has persuaded Toyota and Harley-Davidson to scale back the DEI, said he contacted Boeing’s new CEO Otterberg and board chairperson Steve Mollenkopf by email earlier this month to remind them that he was considering launching an online campaign against their diversity project

　　[Autohome News] We often say that the Golf and Audi A3 are products of the same platform. Do you know that the currently very popular Escape and New Focus are also produced on the same platform. With the development of the automotive industry, overseas automakers, especiallyEuropean and American car companiesModular and platform-based production and research and development are being continuously promoted. At the same time, as the cooperation between car companies becomes closer, more and more manufacturers are beginning to share platforms to build new cars. Platformization and modularization have become a very popular concept at present. In addition to the Volkswagen MQB platform that everyone is already familiar with, major automakers will build new cars based on UKL, MRA, SPA, EMP2, and D2XX in the future. So which manufacturers do these new platforms belong to and what products will be launched? Let’s take a look together today. (Note: The models involved in this article are not all platform products, but only some representative products are selected.)

What is an automotive platform?

　　Let’s use the following diagram to briefly describe what a car platform is:

Volkswagen: MQB/MLB platform – multiple derivative cars

　　The platforms that Volkswagen brands will use in the future will primarily be MQB and MLB.The full name of the MQB platform is Modularer Querbaukasten in German, which is expressed in English as modular transverse matrix or transverse engine modular platform.(Click to view the MQB platform analysis) We are familiar with the Volkswagen 7th generation Golf, Audi’s new generation A3, and the new generation Octavia are all from this platform. So what new cars will be launched on this platform in the future?

★ Volkswagen 7-seat SUV [Click to view new car information]

　　At the 2013 North American Auto Show, the Volkswagen CrossBlue concept car was officially released. The car is currently in the concept stage, and it will be a 7-seat medium and large SUV after official weighing. The car is built on the Volkswagen MQB platform. According to the original information, the car is expected to be domestically produced by Shanghai Volkswagen by the end of 2015.

Volvo: SPA Platform – New Generation XC90

　　After leaving Ford, Volvo needs to stand on its own in terms of technology. Volvo will use a new platform to create new products in the future. According to our review, there are two main platforms in the future, namely the SPA platform (Scalable Platform Architecture) and the new mid-size car platform developed together with Geely. Since 2011, Volvo has announced a strategic investment plan totaling 11 billion US dollars. The development of the SPA platform and the VEA powertrain is the most important part of it.

　　Peter Mertens, senior vice-president of research and development at Volvo Group, said: "The SPA platform will account for two-thirds of Volvo’s total product sales, and about 40% of the components will be common to all models." In line with the current trend of fewer cylinders and smaller displacements, VEA’s new direct injection gasoline and diesel engines will become the main powertrain of Volvo in the future. The 3- and 4-cylinder engine families will become the core of Volvo’s future powertrain, while the existing 5- and 6-cylinder engine assemblies may be phased out.

　　★ New generation XC90 [Click to view new car information]

"The previously exposed hypothetical picture of the new Volvo XC90"

　　 Summary:It is worth mentioning that with the launch of Mercedes-Benz’s modular strategy, Mercedes-Benz has accordingly developed an engine suitable for the two modular platforms of MFA and MRA – the M270, which is divided into 1.6T and 2.0T displacements.

　　This engine is mounted vertically on the MRA platform, matched with a 7G-tronic gearbox; in the MFA platform, it is matched with a 7G-DCT dual-clutch gearbox. One engine can be applied to both horizontal and vertical platforms, which is the embodiment of Mercedes-Benz’s modular strategy.　

● Conclusion: Modular platformization = short-term large investment, long-term high returns

　　At present, car companies are vigorously promoting platform-based production and research and development, and there are many new products. We have only selected 19 representative products for you to see above. After reading today’s article, you may find that why are so many manufacturers promoting platform-based production? In fact, in simple terms, platform-based production can achieve long-term high-profit growth through short-term investment.

　　For reference, Volkswagen’s modular horizontal module platform MQB platform released in 2012 cost nearly $70 billion to build (Morgan Stanley valuation), and is expected to save $19 billion per year by 2019, with a project gross profit of nearly 10%. Such high profits are also an important reason why the majority of manufacturers are promoting the development of this technology. But in any case, we still support the arrival of modular production, because after all, we can choose more and better products. (Compiler/Autohome Wang Yin)

In a blink of an eye, 2024 entered the countdown, and this year’s last large-scale auto show, Guangzhou Auto Show, also slowly kicked off. Judging from the wind direction of domestic auto shows in recent years, the former wheel circle feast has now turned into a traffic repair field, and a number of wheel circle bosses have turned into auto show street runners, starting to punch cards with their lives, and even the leader in red has become a car model … All kinds of wheel circle operations are dizzying, and all this is just for the sake of traffic.

At present, the layout of the exhibition hall of the 2024 Guangzhou Auto Show has been released, so from the perspective of traffic, which exhibition hall will be the most lively? Which is the most deserted? Let’s take a closer look at it.

According to the official information, the Guangzhou Auto Show is planned to use Zone A and Zone D of Guangjiao Club and the outdoor exhibition areas of the two zones, with an exhibition scale of 220,000 square meters. The exhibition scale reached a record high, with 78 first-time cars in the world, including 6 first-time cars from cross-border companies and 1,171 exhibition cars, including 512 new energy vehicles.

Let’s start with area a. The main attractions of Hall 1.1 on the 1st floor of Area A are undoubtedly Geely Galaxy and Volkswagen Group, among which Geely Galaxy will appear on Galaxy Starship 7 at this auto show, which just opened for pre-sale not long ago. At present, there are five models available, and the price for first-aid is 109,800 ~ 142,800 yuan. It is worth noting that Galaxy Starship 7 is the world’s first generation of Raytheon electric hybrid system, with the highest thermal efficiency engine mass-produced in the world, with a thermal efficiency of 46.5%, and the lowest fuel consumption of 3.75 liters per 100 kilometers in its class, with a comprehensive cruising range of 1,420 kilometers. The Volkswagen Group booth is a collection of Volkswagen Anhui, FAW-Volkswagen, Volkswagen imported cars and SAIC Volkswagen, and its family lineup is huge. However, there are not many new models released by Volkswagen at this auto show, and the most interesting probability is the new Volkswagen Golf Family.

Hall 2.1 on the first floor of Zone A is the most crowded hall at this Guangzhou Auto Show, because BYD brand has once again achieved the achievement of pavilion package. There are four major brand exhibition areas in the museum: BYD, Looking Up, Equation Leopard and Looking Up. From low to high, it easily covers tens of thousands to millions, and provides sports cars, hard-core off-road vehicles and other models to meet the needs of consumers at all levels. At the same time, looking up to U7, Tengshi N9, BYD Summer and other new models will also be unveiled at this auto show. In addition, BYD also has an intelligent display area of BYD vehicles, a brand area of BYD and an extreme technical experience area of BYD in the exhibition hall, which will ensure that you have fun and enjoy yourself.

The more interesting brands in Hall 3.1 on the first floor of Zone A are FAW Audi and FAW Hongqi. The former will launch the brand-new Audi A5, which is the renamed and upgraded Audi A4L. The latter will also bring a variety of products at the auto show, including sunflower Guoya. The representative brands of Hall 4.1 and Hall 5.1 on the first floor of Area A mainly include Great Wall, BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Among them, the Great Wall will launch or market a new generation of Haval H7, tank 500Hi4-Z, etc., and BMW will bring a variety of new models and special edition cars, such as the new M5, M235L coupe and the new BMW X3. Mercedes-Benz’s lineup is also very strong, with 29 participating models, including all-electric G-class off-road vehicles and new all-electric EQE and other heavyweight models.

Hall 1.2, 2nd floor, Zone A, is an old and powerful area, including Buick, Volvo, FAW Toyota, Lexus and other players, but not many new models have been released. Hall 2.2 on the second floor of Zone A is the Guangzhou Automobile Department’s charter. At present, the decline of Guangzhou Automobile Department is no longer a secret. Both market sales and brand awareness have begun to decline, and there is a high probability that it will not be too hot, but after all, it is in its own base camp, which has the advantage of home court. Maybe there will be many local seniors to join in.

The layout of Hall 3.2 on the second floor of Area A is very interesting. Aouita, Changan Automobile, Deep Blue Automobile, FAW Pentium, Wuling Automobile and Baojun Automobile have achieved the encirclement of Dongfeng Nissan. Hall 4.2 on the 2nd floor of Area A is owned by gallants, and Chery Department is VS SAIC+Dongfeng Department. Although it is 1 to 2, Chery has a high probability of crushing the last two. Hall 5.2 on the second floor of Area A is more interesting to see, such as Dongfeng Honda and Kia. Most of the others are ultra-luxury brands. It is really good to see the ultra-luxury models while watching the family car.

There are only four passenger car exhibition halls in Zone D, but it also includes an automobile industry chain and automobile culture exhibition hall and a commercial vehicle exhibition hall. Hall 17.2, on the second floor of Zone D, which just came up, is where the heavyweight, Le Dao, Xiaomi, Wen Jie and other experts who play traffic gather together. I think it’s necessary to see the red with a bayonet. In addition, Tucki and Warrior, two "popular young people", have a high probability of traffic. Changan Mazda is really out of place in this exhibition hall, but the good news is that it can also rub other people’s traffic.

Hall 18.2, 2nd floor, Zone D is more interesting in HarmonyOS Zhixing and Ideals, among which four brands of HarmonyOS Zhixing will gather together, and the new version of Zhijie S7 and Zhijie R7 extended edition will also be released. Ideally, there are no new cars in the near future, and the L series players are expected to participate in the exhibition. After all, pure electric SUVs will have to wait until next year. In Hall 19.2 on the second floor of Zone D, there are new power players such as Wei Lai, Zero Run and Nezha, as well as familiar players such as Shangjiao Di and Lingke. Among them, the new SUV Zero Run B10 will make its debut at this auto show. The car is provided with AI chips and lidar, and the price range is 100,000 ~ 150,000 yuan. SAIC Audi will release its own pure electric concept car, which will no longer use Audi’s four-ring logo, but use Audi’s English logo. In Hall 20.2, 2nd floor, Zone D, there are players such as Zhi Ji, Ji Krypton, Ji Yue and smart, each of which has a lot of traffic, but there are not many new cars that will be launched or listed, and the most interesting one is smart Elf #5.

Che Shu concluded

As the most important auto show at the end of 2024, at this Guangzhou auto show, all auto companies have tried their best to get consumers’ attention. Generally speaking, the new models that are more interesting at this year’s auto show are mainly new energy vehicles, among which there are many models with heavy new technologies for the first time. If you have time and energy, I suggest you go to the auto show in person to see the new changes of our own brand in recent years!

Review Dongfeng Peugeot 3008 2013 1.6THP Automatic to Shang Edition

Text/Liu Bin, Dewey, Picture/Dewey

    Liu Bin

There are nearly 10,000 pages of introductions on laurels, titles and racing experiences on both Baidu and Google. As one of the few Sanqi drivers who came from the "Huangpu Phase II" venue, rally and track races and are well-known in the industry, we are fortunate to invite the "Weights and Measures" of the "Liu Bin Review Car" column

Dongfeng Peugeot 3008’s front face net, in addition to the English logo of Peugeot printed in the middle of the top, also uses a lot of thick horizontal chrome-plated decorative elements, with "L" shaped daytime running lights auto front light group and the front end of the machine cover strong texture of the lion LOGO, so that the upper part of the front face looks particularly delicate and atmospheric.

The centripetal corner of the peripheral area of the fog lamp is also highlighted by chrome decoration, which echoes the domineering shape of the headlamp. The bottom of the front spoiler is treated with two colors, adding a bit of roughness and unruly to the delicate and domineering front face of Dongfeng Peugeot 3008.

The wheels have been changed from the imported version of the single five-spoke hub to the hard double five-spoke style, and the 225/50 R17 Michelin "big foot" and the front width (1531mm) and rear narrow (1525mm) wheel track combine sports and comfort.

The subtle waist line of the body extends backwards through the rearview mirror with parking automatic retraction function. High-quality chrome-plated window trims are used to further enhance the visual effect. The dark hard plastic anti-scratch material on the roof rack and the lower end of the door added to the imported version once again highlights the delicacy and roughness of the Dongfeng Peugeot 3008.

The upper and lower segmented tailgate can not only be conveniently opened and closed in insufficient parking areas, but also the lower opening plate can independently bear 200kg, which greatly exceeds the practical level of SUV models of the same class or even higher.

The large inclination angle of the A-pillar is a large windshield, which makes the front row position slightly rearward. On the one hand, there is ample space at the upper end of the front central control to place the HUD head-up display and the car navigation display. On the other hand, the rearward sitting position makes the driver unable to see the position of the front of the car. For new drivers who are used to looking at the reference position of the front of the car, they need to adapt.

The interior shape is the most outstanding among the luxury brands of the same level and even the compact level, no one! Soft materials are fully covered, and imitation stitching is carefully treated to further enhance the visual effect. The central control extension area of imitation marble material, in the lower part of the chrome-hemmed air conditioner out trend and flight control buttons, from top to bottom are multimedia control, automatic air conditioning and wind direction control, 6AT shift handle, automatic parking button and multi-road condition adaptation system control knob and other functions and control areas. Suitable height, suitable angle, friendly operation force and high-quality touch feeling, coupled with awesome appearance integration, eye-catching! Easy to use! Bonus points!

At the front end of the steering wheel with a thick grip, the instrument is also decorated with chrome that adds luxury, making it delicate and eye-catching.

The rear end of the central control is a huge storage compartment. It is not a problem to visually place a large beverage bottle in 2L vertical. The upper end is a magnetic layered partition, which makes the space combination flexible and practical. The wide and comfortable seats not only increase comfort, but also cooperate with many airbags to maximize the passive safety of the occupants. The rear floor under the 2613mm wheelbase is straight, and the space is compact but sufficient. The larger front windshield glass brings a good view and speed feeling. If the sunroof size can be expanded to the front of the roof glasses case and the glasses case is placed on the main driver’s armrest, the domestic version of the 3008 sunroof with an increased area will bring a better spatial visual experience.

Thanks to the high-efficiency and high-reliability combination of the 1.6THP engine and the 6AT automatic transmission, the power output of the Dongfeng Peugeot 3008 is satisfactory. Whether it is linear acceleration or pile winding performance, 240N · m/1400~ 4000rpm can make the word "insufficient power" useless. The combination of the front McPherson and the rear torsion beam suspension, after good tuning, can be said to have achieved a very excellent balance in terms of comfort, economy and handling. When passing through the trench and speed bumps, it can filter out the shock, and the lateral support force in the fast and sharp bend can provide a reliable guarantee for intense control. In addition, when the high-speed lane change overtakes the floor oil, there is a margin with a foot reminder at the end of the throttle opening angle, just like the shutter of the SLR camera, and the bottom will automatically jump to the S block.

The multi-road condition adaptation system is the icing on the cake function. When paving and simple road surfaces, the ESP system will intervene in the braking timing and tire idling tolerance according to the corresponding procedures, which can improve the passability at a certain intensity and is suitable for driving under known road conditions.

On September 3, 2019 local time, CNH Industrial N.V. held a Capital Markets Day event at the New York Stock Exchange and announced several blockbuster announcements.

Closely related to the aspect, it will split from the group to establish a new company, and invest 250 million US dollars to join hands with the US new energy heavy truck brand NIKOLA to establish a strategic and exclusive heavy truck partnership.

CNH Industrial will acquire a strategic equity stake of $250 million in NIKOLA, making it the largest investor in the Series D financing, which includes $100 million in cash and $150 million in services such as product development, manufacturing engineering and other technical assistance, as well as the supply of certain key components to accelerate the production time of Nikola TWO and Nikola TRE.

According to the plan, IVECO and FPT Industrial, the commercial vehicle and powertrain brands of CNH Industrial respectively, will use their engineering and manufacturing expertise to industrialize Nikola’s fuel cell and battery electric trucks.

The first three products listed in the product plan are the Nikola ONE, a NAFTA-compliant Class 8 long-head truck with sleeper, the Nikola TWO, a NAFTA-compliant Class 8 long-head truck, and most importantly, the Nikola TRE, a European-compliant cab.

The Nikola TRE will be based on IVECO’s S-WAY, which was released this year, to meet the needs of consumers outside of Europe and North America.

Under CNH Industrial’s "transformation win-win" strategy, the two companies will be divided into road and off-road assets, with the two companies listed separately. IVECO’s "On-Highway" company is scheduled to be split from CNH Industrial in early 2021, but this requires approval by an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, which is expected to be held in the second half of 2020.

The "On-Highway" company will include several brands, namely Iveco, Iveco Buses, Heuliez Bus and FPT Industrial Powertrain business. Through investment in product and technology upgrades, the market position and product lineup of the IVECO brand will be further strengthened.

We are familiar with Astra special vehicles, IVECO defense, and professional manufacturing brands, which are divided into "Off-Highway" companies, which will further develop their industry-leading products for their professional customer base.

Mr. Suzanne Heywood, chairperson of CNH Industrial, said: "This bold plan will lead to the emergence of two new global leaders in their respective fields. The rigorous work we have undertaken in developing our strategy provides the strongest support for the board’s confidence in strongly supporting the five-year strategic plan."
