Meng Tai: Blast Furnace Guard, Labor Hero (Struggle for a Hundred Years, Set Sail for a New Journey · Several Merry Figures)

Meng Tai is at work. Xinhua News Agency

  In 2009, Meng Tai was elected as "100 People Who Have Moved China Since the Founding of New China". He was awarded the title of "The Most Beautiful Struggler" and "National Labor Model".

  Meng Tai, born in 1898, was a native of Fengrun County, Hebei Province. He arrived in Anshan in 1926 and joined the Japanese-run Showa Iron Works as a plumbing apprentice in the same year. He joined the Communist Party of China in 1949 and became one of the first industrial workers to develop after the liberation of Anshan.

  "Blast furnace guard" and labor hero, this is the most vivid image that Meng Tai left to the world. During the war to resist US aggression and aid Korea, he took the initiative to be a factory guard, risking the risk of air strikes, ready to use his body to protect the blast furnace at any time.

  Meng Tai is equally famous for his spirit of research and hard work. The famous "Meng Tai work method" is a set of work rules and operation techniques that he has explored in the practice of blast furnace work over the years. After the "First Five-Year Plan" began, he led the workers to carry out technical transformation of the production process and equipment, self-made blast furnace trends, and skillfully made "bridge-shaped grips". In addition to completing more than 60 major technical innovations by himself, he also organized and led a large number of technical experts and skilled craftsmen to carry out large-scale technical innovation, technical cooperation and technical research activities, which played an important role in the transformation and construction of Anshan Iron and Steel.

  In 1964, Meng Tai began to serve as the deputy director of Angang Iron and Steel’s ironmaking plant. Although he was over 60 years old, he was still strong and insisted on not leaving work. He personally established the "Mengtai coke storage tank", which saved thousands of tons of coke for the country every year; improved the double-layer combustion cylinder at the bottom of the hot blast stove, which increased the life of the original single-layer combustion cylinder by nearly 100 times; and successfully developed the cooling tank series technology, which saved 30% of the water consumption of the blast furnace. Meng Tai led a number of technological innovations and inventions, which saved a lot of energy resources for the country.

  He loved the factory like home, worked hard to start a business, and made significant contributions in the recovery and development of Anshan Iron and Steel’s production. He was received by Mao Zedong eight times, and was elected as a deputy to the First, Second, and Third National People’s Congress, and was elected as an executive member of the Seventh and Eighth National Congresses of the Chinese Trade Union.

  In September 1967, Meng Tai died in Beijing. With his noble quality and fine style, Meng Tai set an example for Angang employees and left a valuable spiritual wealth for workers across the country.

Look at the appearance and it will be successful. What is the strength of Roewe RX5PLUS among the PLUS?

On the evening of June 10, 2020, PLUS was officially listed, and the price range was 98.8-134.8 million yuan.

In recent years, with the gradual rejuvenation of the market, the iteration speed of car companies for their models has obviously accelerated, and at the same time, the upgrading of new and old models has become more and more intense. The more unified change is the naming of models, such as adding suffixes such as MAX/PLUS/PRO after the name. Judging from the market reaction, the new and old "combination boxing" does have stronger combat effectiveness.

However, it must be clear that the iterative version of the upgrade must have stronger strength. For example, Changan’s CS75PLUS, Geely PRO and other models, after upgrading and listing, won the love of consumers with their outstanding performance in many aspects.

 

So compared with these successful models, what level is the combat effectiveness of the upcoming upgraded iterative model RX5 PLUS? Speaking with strength, let’s analyze the competitiveness of RX5 PLUS.

The foundation of the car, are these three big pieces strong enough?

If you want to buy a horse to carry you around, then you must choose a strong and vigorous horse. Similarly, if you want to choose a vehicle for walking, then its three parts must be the key consideration, because the three parts are the foundation of a car, just like the foundation of a tall building.

From the data alone, PLUS is undoubtedly very competitive. The new car is equipped with the latest generation of "blue core" powertrain, which reaches 127kW and the peak torque reaches 275N·m, matching 7DCT. This data is very competitive in its class.

Thanks to new technologies such as small inertia, the low-speed torque output of PLUS is strong during the actual test drive, so the response speed of the front part of the throttle is still smart, and the starting speed is faster and more linear. In addition, the 350bar fuel injection system+central direct injection system and high-efficiency Miller cycle technology make the car quite high, only 6.8L.

On the other hand, the adjustment is flexible and the overall style is biased towards comfort. When passing through the S-bend in the test drive site, it has good support and small roll. The author is deeply impressed by the fact that the vibration is absorbed and dissolved very simply on the rugged road surface and potholed road surface, and there will be no redundant actions.

What are the three major items that are more in line with consumers’ wishes? Personally, I think that, like PLUS, the dynamic performance is superior in competing products at the same level, which can meet the requirements of performance and economy. In addition, the excellent adjustment is to meet the needs of consumers in terms of comfort. The "three big pieces" of PLUS can be said to be very advantageous.

What else does Roewe RX5 PLUS have to kill?

In the invisible place, PLUS has laid the foundation of "three big pieces". What kind of performance does PLUS have in the visible place next?

Young and sporty appearance. In the past two years, sports have appeared more and more on new cars, among which jumping color sports are the most commonly used by major car companies, and PLUS is no exception. The new car is decorated with yellow stripes on the front face and side, which is both young and dynamic.

In addition, the brand-new lion logo+increasing Ronglin grille+blackening treatment, etc., also shows the trend of new cars, and also reflects the brand’s precise control over the market rejuvenation.

Technology+intelligence+healthy cockpit. When it comes to the intelligent cockpit, I don’t think anyone can have a better say. First of all, in terms of hardware, the new PLUS is equipped with a 14.1-inch curved screen and a 12.3-inch LCD virtual instrument, which is full of technology.

In terms of software, from the initial zebra system to the zebra system VENUS, the upgrade evolution from network connection to intelligent network connection has been realized. The VENUS system equipped with new cars supports new functions such as intelligent voice assistant, long play and car home interconnection. In addition, its "active purification health cabin" provides protection for users to travel healthily.

Car observers believe that:

The launch of PLUS will be in a strategic situation with the meritorious fighter RX5 and rookie RX5 MAX, and the three models will focus on three market segments: high, medium and low. For me, the addition of new cars has undoubtedly strengthened the market competitiveness of RX5 family, and for consumers, the choice of car purchase is more flexible and diverse.

Under the general trend of younger market, it has made rapid efforts. In less than a year, the RX5 classic++MAX+PLUS camp has been completed. The RX5 PLUS to be launched this time has completed a comprehensive PLUS in appearance, interior, hardware, software and power system, meeting the needs of young consumers in terms of vehicle value, intelligence and handling, and with the price of 9.88-134,800 yuan, PLUS will surely become the strength of many PLUS models.

Explanation of the term "capital flow": refers to the reversal of capital flow through price changes. When the stock price is in a rising state, the turnover formed by active buying orders is the driving force for the stock price to rise, which is defined as capital inflow, and when the stock price is in a falling state, the turnover generated by active selling orders is the driving force for the stock price to fall, which is defined as capital outflow. The difference between the two forces on that day is the net force left to push the stock price up after the two forces offset each other on that day. Calculate the main capital flow, hot money flow and retail capital flow through the transaction amount of each transaction.

Note: The main funds are large single transactions, the hot money is large single transactions, and the retail investors are small and medium single transactions.

Half price Model 3? What is MONA M03 in Tucki?

In the new energy automobile market in 2024, it is impolite to say that the gods fight. BYD here directly announced that BYD Qin Plus started at 79,800, and the ideal L6 there quickly harvested the market after it went on the market, and Xiaomi SU7, which has been grinding a sword for three years, swept in, and there is even an extremely krypton 001 for three years a year.

The price war has been raging, which has made many netizens lament that the price has dropped again and again, and the configuration has been adjusted again. What kind of car is worth starting now? Then why not take a look at the upcoming release of Tucki MONA M03.

When everyone is entering the price war, we find that Tucki has always played the role of a bystander. But after entering August, they chose to shoot and enter the game! Because, Tucki MONA M03 will be listed soon! On August 27th, He Xiaopeng, chairman of Tucki, personally certified, what kind of waves will be caused by MONA M03 in Tucki with a starting price of less than 135,900 yuan?

In fact, there is no secret about the shape and configuration of MONA M03 in Tucki at present. There are pictures of real cars in the shape and size, and there are also videos that have been tested first on the Internet. So, let’s talk about the strength of Tucki MONA M03 today.

Tucki’s products have been committed to high-level intelligent driving, which has been recognized by the whole industry. Tucki NGP is also known as one of the best intelligent driving assistance systems in China and even in the world. Therefore, Tucki MONA M03 is bound to be installed, which is also one of the core competitiveness of Tucki’s products. And this is also the favorite automotive technology element of young consumers nowadays.

Not only that, the overall strength of Tucki MONA M03 is definitely more than that. In other aspects, Tucki MONA M03 can also be said to be armed with avant-garde and advanced design concepts. Therefore, Tucki MONA M03 is in the class of 150,000, which can be on a par with or even surpass the strength of Tesla Model 3.

Many people want to compare Tucki MONA M03 with some models owned by BYD, which is not accurate and unnecessary. Although the sales of BYD’s various models are quite high, the positioning of each model is still not separated from the shackles of traditional cars, and there is no technological experience that can give consumers great value. Obviously, MONA M03 in Tucki has this capability.

From the overall appearance, M03 has a very rare low wind resistance, only 0.194Cd, and 15 design elements are adopted to reduce the wind resistance. This not only brings elegant modeling, but also brings lower energy consumption performance. As a 150,000-class product, M03 has a wheelbase of 2,815mm, while BYD Qin PLUS has a wheelbase of only 2,718mm. The wheelbase of Tesla Model 3 is only 2875mm.

Although M03′ s wheelbase is not obviously superior to that of competitors, it still has a stronger memory point with 0.194Cd, low drag coefficient and elegant body design. Of course, we still need to introduce the length, width and height of M03, which are 4780mm, 1896mm and 1445mm respectively. Although it is not 5 meters long, it still has this harmonious body ratio, and the axle length ratio has reached 58.8:100, which is the golden ratio of sports coupe.

It is worth mentioning that although it is a pure electric vehicle, the M03 is still equipped with an active air intake grille, and supports intelligent adjustment of opening and closing, balancing low wind resistance and heat dissipation of the electric drive system.

The 18-inch low wind resistance rim and the high-torque concealed door handle are all efforts made by Tucki for ultra-low wind resistance. It is worth mentioning that although it is a hidden door handle, M03 can be opened even in the state of power loss.

M03 uses AI quantitative aesthetic design, which is not only committed to creating fashionable and avant-garde shapes, but more importantly, it needs to give consideration to functions. Its front and rear taillights each have 300 LED beads, which brings high recognition. At the same time, this set of 010 digital star-awn lights also brings us a sense of elegance and advanced that is rare in the same class.

The M03 that has positioned the coupe not only has l-image-boxql-image-justify "id =" qlimg1724057732462 ">

Good shops cut prices and were forced by snack discount stores?

Original Xirui Tech Planet

"I said in August this year that the 17-year-old good product is facing the most difficult challenge since its establishment. At the moment, this challenge is still intensifying. "

At the end of November this year, Yang Yinfen, the newly appointed chairman and general manager of Liangpin Store, bluntly stated the difficulties encountered by the company in an open letter.

Once the "first share of high-end snacks" was no longer covered up, and even decided to "self-degrade".

The first thing Yang Yinfen did when he took office was to reduce the average price of 300 products of Liangpin Store by 22%, with the highest drop of 45%, involving nuts, preserved meat and other categories. The stores with trial operation told Tech Planet that the price reduction measures have achieved initial results, which will bring more passengers and even new customers to the stores without reducing the unit price of customers.

Behind the price reduction of good shops, the impact pressure brought by snack discount stores is inseparable. This new species that has sprung up suddenly has landed in nearly 10,000 stores this year.

The year-on-year decline in revenue and the rapid expansion of snack discount stores are telling good shops that they are getting farther and farther away from the real consumer demand.

The largest price reduction of "the first share of high-end snacks" in 17 years

In Huang Xinyi’s memory, Liangpin Store is the first snack collection store in their county, which is located at the crossroads in the center of the county. All snacks can be bought at random, which became a trend at that time. "Since I had a good shop, my mother didn’t take me to the supermarket to buy snacks every New Year," Huang Xinyi recalled.

But this "family tradition" has changed since last year. After snack discount stores have blossomed everywhere in the county, good shops are no longer the place to buy snacks in Huang Xinyi. "With the same budget, snack shops can buy two bags, but good shops can only buy one bag," Huang Xinyi told Tech Planet.

Expensive, become the most obvious label of good shop now. Yang Yinfen, chairman and general manager of Liangpin Store, confronted this problem in an internal open letter. "The reality that consumers think we are expensive also shows that the price of our products must be more close to the people."

The biggest price reduction measure in 17 years is to face the problem directly. This is Yang Yinfen’s first business-side measure after taking office. The average price reduction of 300 products is 22%, with the highest drop of 45%.

A month ago, good shops have implemented price reduction measures in Shanghai, Hangzhou and other places. Tech Planet found in a good shop in Shanghai that the price-cut goods will be presented in the form of membership price, and the original price will be specially marked on the label.

It is estimated that nearly 40% of the goods in the store have been reduced in price, and the reduced-price goods are concentrated in nuts, preserved fruits, meat and some bread cakes.

The manager of the good shop told Tech Planet that every winter, nuts and meat are the best sellers, and then the Spring Festival is superimposed. Nuts are the focus of new year’s goods. "Nuts are very dry, and no one will eat them in summer."

Macadamia nuts, pecans, almonds, pine nuts, pistachios, cashews, etc. are all important in the price reduction of good shops. Obviously, good shops hope to reappear in consumers’ living rooms during the Spring Festival.

However, compared with snack discount stores such as Zhao Yiming and Snacks Youming, in the dimension of price, the good shops after price reduction still have no advantage. Tech Planet compares the prices of some goods in the same category and finds that the prices of preserved fruits and meat in good shops can reach the same level, but there is still a certain price difference in nut categories.

Legend: Price comparison of brands in the same category.

However, no one will refuse the promotion. Whether in Shanghai or Hangzhou, people have returned to the stores of good shops for the sake of price reduction. "There are still quite a lot of people who come to buy membership-priced goods every day," Zhang Ji, a clerk at a good shop in Hangzhou, told Tech Planet. Moreover, to her surprise, this price cut did not bring about a decline in the unit price of customers.

According to the data of Narrow-door Dining Eye, the customer unit price of good shops is 55.83 yuan, while snacks are busy at 38.79 yuan, and Zhao Yiming is in 37 yuan.

"As long as customers who come to the store can’t just buy goods at reduced prices, they will buy some other goods," Zhang Ji told Tech Planet. "We will also recommend best-selling snacks to customers."

"Price-cutting goods are actually a drainage function to attract customers to the store," the clerk of the good shop told Tech Planet. This is the most desirable result for good shops.

When high-end snacks are only "expensive"

"The store’s business is not bad," Zhang Ji told Tech Planet. "It’s basically flat every month." But she is one of the lucky few.

The revenue of good shops has declined year-on-year for five consecutive quarters. In the third quarter of this year, good shops sold 2.013 billion yuan, down 4.53% compared with the same period last year. As of September this year, in nine months, good shops sold 5.999 billion yuan, down 14.33% compared with the same period last year.

Compared with no one to sell, the net profit of good shops has a bigger problem. In the third quarter of this year, the net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies was 1,998,400 yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 97.88%.

For the sharp decline in profits in the third quarter, good shops are attributed to the increase in labor and rental expenses and the fluctuation of gross profit margin corresponding to newly opened direct stores. In the past three months, Liangpin Store has opened 145 direct stores, and the number of franchised stores is 146.

This also means that not only consumers, but franchisees are also "abandoning" good shops.

One contrast is that there were only 1,000 Zhao Yiming snacks in February this year, and now there are 2,600 stores in China. The number of stores with busy snacks even exceeds 4,000.

Central China is the base camp of good shops, and nearly half of them are located in Hunan, Hubei and Henan. In this year, the "Snacks Busy" that started in Hunan has entered Hubei, the birthplace of good shops.

"Before this year, snack discount stores all expanded their stores in their own areas, and no one dared to go to Hubei to explore the market," a snack track practitioner told Tech Planet. "Everyone knows that old brands will have geographical advantages."

The impact of new species on good shops has become more intuitive. They open stores near good shops and attract young people in small towns with bright doors and big slogans of "Good Cheap".

Zhang Ji told Tech Planet that there was a snack discount store not far from the store. "It is impossible to say that it has no impact. It must be affecting the business in the store."

As a matter of fact, good shops and new species snack discount stores are both snack collection shops, doing channel business. However, good shops go further upstream, often customizing products with factories, and even cooperating with factories for exclusive products in individual categories. And snack discount stores stay more in the selection. In snack discount stores, each snack has its own brand, and related brands can be searched in e-commerce channels.

Relatively speaking, on the product side, good shops need to have more cost input. Moreover, good shops that have taken the high-end snack route since 2019 have almost strict requirements on raw materials.

Zhao Xin’s factory is to supply nuts to good shops. He told Tech Planet that good shops want the highest specifications and the highest quality raw materials in the factory. "OEM processing, we are all based on customer budgets, what price products we want, and what price we can provide."

There are also suppliers of seafood products who tell Tech Planet that good shops are looking for the goods they want, and the general brands can’t do this price. "They are strict with every link and the production process is exclusively customized."

However, the price reduction of the good shop has not affected Zhao Xin yet. He told Tech Planet that the ex-factory price they gave to the good shops remained unchanged. "This price reduction has not been compressed to our upstream, and the supply price has been discussed for a long time. There is no way to reduce the raw materials of this grade." On the consumer side, the price of this product has dropped from 138 yuan to 103 yuan per session.

Standing four years ago, there was nothing wrong with the high-end strategy of the good shop. However, at the moment when consumers are becoming more rational, the so-called ultimate pursuit of quality by good shops seems to be "going against the trend".

Good shops may be wrong in not keeping up with the needs of consumers and turning in time, which also makes good shops fall into today’s predicament.

Parity becomes a trend.

A year ago, three squirrels also announced their entry into "low price" with the strategy of "high-end cost performance". Zhang Liaoyuan, the founder of the three squirrels, once again posted in the circle of friends that he had been implementing the strategy of "high-end cost performance" after the price reduction was announced by the good shop.

However, the low price seems to have failed to save three squirrels. In the first nine months of this year, good shops sold nearly 6 billion snacks, while three squirrels only sold 4.582 billion, and revenue was also declining year-on-year.

With the change of consumption environment and the surprise attack of new species, the former snack giants now have their own difficulties, and the reality has led them to the road of "low price".

But moving towards low prices also means that they have to compete directly with retail discount stores. The former snack giants need more stores as strongholds to compete with them.

On December 3rd, Zhang Liaoyuan, the founder of Three Squirrels, announced in a circle of friends that the number of offline stores of Three Squirrels has exceeded 150. Before that, three squirrels closed hundreds of stores.

Since the beginning of this year, the stores of good shops have also been in the adjustment stage of opening while opening, and the expansion speed of stores has been slow.

In the past three months, 246 good shops have closed their stores, including direct operation and joining, and 291 new ones have been opened. This means that in three months, only 45 good shops have been added in China. Among the newly opened stores, direct sales and franchise each accounted for half, and the proportion of direct sales stores increased from 37.07% at the end of the second quarter to 39.32%.

In contrast, snacks are busy, Zhao Yiming and other snack discount stores are expanding their stores quickly, and the track has entered the merger stage.

In November, Snacks was very busy and strategically merged with Zhao Yiming Snacks. After the merger, the total number of stores reached more than 6500. And two months ago, Wanchen Group merged the four snack brands: Youpin, Haoxianglai, Yadi Yadi and Luxiaochan.

Snack discount stores are already rushing to the scale of ten thousand stores. Founder Securities recently reported that the number of discount snack stores is expected to reach 22,000-25,000 in 2023.

In terms of the number of stores, the former snack giants did not have an advantage. But they have a supply chain accumulation in the snack track. When they turned in time, the snack industry resumed a new round of "low price war".

However, compared with the blind "volume" low price, today’s price war is the pursuit of the ultimate cost performance, testing everyone’s comprehensive ability and the ultimate control of all links.

Good shops, three squirrels and snack discount stores are back on the same starting line. However, it will take some time for good shops to reverse the "expensive price" label in consumers’ minds.

But good shops should not want the cycle to be too long. Because compared with the new species of snacks, there is not much time left for him. "At the moment, what is before us is not only the problem of living hard, but also the problem of living or not," Yang Yinfen bluntly said in an internal open letter.

From China to the world, BYD Yuan PLUS sold 890,000 vehicles in three years.

In November, BYD’s sales of new energy brands were still the best, with a total sales volume of 506,804 vehicles, which broke through 500,000 vehicles for two consecutive months. This achievement, after October, once again set a new record for the sales of car companies in China. Among them, the glory version of Yuan PLUS is very strong. As of November, the cumulative sales in 2024 reached 276,606 vehicles. Moreover, as a pure electric vehicle that has only been on the market for more than three years, its cumulative sales have exceeded 890,000 vehicles, and it will usher in a million cumulative sales in the first half of next year. This achievement is quite shocking in both the fuel vehicle era and the new energy era. How did this happen?

BYD’s success key, I believe everyone has a different answer. In my eyes, the success of a brand depends not on how high its upper limit is, but on how detailed its lower limit can be. As we all know, BYD is famous for its technology. When it comes to BYD’s technology, you will definitely think of technologies with more communication characteristics, such as turning around in place and floating on the water, but you must not ignore it, even BYD’s entry-level models like the glory version of Yuan PLUS are also highly technical.

Global best-selling, leading the advanced A-class SUV

The 100,000-class A-class SUV is believed to be the budget range for most people to buy a car. Everyone knows that you get what you pay for, and no one can make money at a loss for a long time.

A-class SUVs, especially pure electric SUVs, actually face fierce competition. In addition to facing the encirclement and suppression of self-owned brand fuel vehicles and joint venture brand fuel vehicles, there is also a strong momentum of new forces and self-owned brand new energy, and consumers in this market are the most picky, most of them are the first cars in their families, and they need to meet their demanding requirements. It can occupy an absolute position in this market and hand over the most eye-catching achievements in the most intense market. As of November 2024, the annual cumulative sales volume of BYD Yuan PLUS Glory Edition was 276,606 vehicles. Product strength is absolutely all-round leading.

The A-class SUV market is quite special, and it has always been dominated by fuel vehicles. We look at the sales of A-class fuel vehicles in November. The first fuel vehicle is Corolla Ruifang, with sales of 19,700 vehicles, and the second is Fenglanda, with sales of 16,533 vehicles. Yuan PLUS glory edition, a pure electric SUV, can drive a fuel car in sales, which was unimaginable in the past.

Like the price level of Yuan PLUS Glory Edition, what other brands can do is definitely not as strong as Yuan PLUS Glory Edition, with many configurations or large space. The most technical advantage of BYD is that it is constantly compressing the selling price while improving the performance and quality of its products.

At the beginning of the year, the glory version of Yuan PLUS, which was listed, directly lowered the price to 110,000 yuan. The main feature was that "electricity is lower than oil", which gave a little shock to the domestic A-class SUV market. It is precisely this kind of high quality+high cost performance that makes many consumers, especially young people, enter the pure electric formation.

Starting from the real needs of users

The appearance of the glory version of yuanplus PLUS fashionable and dynamic, which meets the aesthetic needs of young consumers. The body lines are smooth and powerful, and the front face adopts BYD family-style design language, which has high recognition.

The interior highlights the movement and vitality. The center console with two-color layout, dumbbell-shaped air-conditioning outlet and treadmill-type central armrest are designed, and the two large screens are put in the homogenization design of the world. The interior of the glory version of Yuan PLUS still gives people a refreshing feeling, and it also better caters to the needs of young users.

As a model built by BYD’s star platform e platform 3.0, Yuan PLUS Glory Edition has black technologies such as eight-in-one electric powertrain, BYD’s unique blade battery, wide temperature range and efficient heat pump system technology.

As a model built by BYD’s star platform e platform 3.0, Yuan PLUS Glory Edition has black technologies such as eight-in-one electric powertrain, BYD’s unique blade battery, wide temperature range and efficient heat pump system technology. Nowadays, all parts of the country have entered winter, and using cars in winter is a major pain point for new energy vehicles. Yuan PLUS Glory Edition can make the battery more efficient and performance in winter through a new generation of high-efficiency heat pump system with wide temperature range independently developed, which can effectively improve the endurance of more than 20%.

Not only that, in addition to the endurance, the heat pump air conditioner can work in a wide temperature range of -30~40℃, and the heating effect is also very fast, and it only takes 8 minutes to reach 25℃ in a low temperature environment. When you go out to change clothes in the morning, you can first open the mobile phone APP to remotely activate the air conditioner for heating. When you need to go out, you will be greeted by a warm space when you open the door. You don’t have to wait for a hot car like a traditional oil car, waiting for the air conditioner to heat up. Shivering in the cabin.

At the same time, BYD Yuan PLUS Glory Edition is very accurate in grasping the pain points of users’ needs in terms of intelligence. Intelligentization is a bridge for young users to further enrich the car scene. The DiLink intelligent networking system equipped with the glory version of Yuan PLUS can directly realize various operations such as listening to songs, navigating, playing videos, brushing Tik Tok, etc. through a rotatable car screen. You don’t need to add another mobile phone stand to complete the above functions, so you can get rid of the dependence on mobile phones when you get on the bus, and to some extent, it also increases the safety. At the same time, the new car has also upgraded the intelligent voice continuous call, which has been improved in wake-up, interaction and efficiency, and the user experience is better.

In addition, the adaptive cruise and ICC intelligent navigation system contained in DiPilot intelligent driving assistance system carried by Yuan PLUS Glory Edition can automatically accelerate and decelerate with the preceding vehicle after activation, which can effectively reduce the driver’s driving pressure. Even if there are occasional small distractions, the LDWS lane departure warning system can quickly remind the driver to avoid accidents.

As for the most popular camping culture at present, the VTOL mobile power station carried by the glory version of Yuan PLUS can be transformed into a "big charging treasure" when going out to play. Young people go out for a "live trip", boiling water, cooking, eating hot pot, outdoor movies and KTV together to enhance their feelings, which is difficult for the previous fuel SUV.

From the aspects of performance, function, configuration, technology, safety, comfort and so on, it is the first-class level in its class. It can be said that it is such a hexagonal warrior, and it is inevitable that so many users are willing to pay for it with real money.

Let the world’s consumers also "eat something good"

Such a hot-selling explosive product PLUS the glory version of yuanplus should really be known to consumers around the world. In the first half of this year, BYD’s overseas sales exceeded 203,000 vehicles, up 173.8% year-on-year, with a strong growth momentum, among which the glory version of Yuan PLUS (overseas version named BYD ATTO 3) made a great contribution.

At present, the cumulative export volume of BYD ATTO 3 has exceeded 100,000 vehicles, and it has been delivered in more than 110 countries and regions around the world in Asia-Pacific, Europe, America, Middle East and Africa, and has won the sales champion in Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Thailand and Singapore. From January to April, 2024, BYD’s sales in Europe reached 7,890 vehicles, soaring five times year-on-year, surpassing the polar star brand and ranking third in the European sales list of pure electric vehicles in China. Among them, BYD ATTO 3 was rated as the most valuable electric vehicle in the UK in 2024.

It is worth mentioning that at this year’s APEC 2024 Peru Leaders Summit, 20 BYD Atto 3s formed an official designated car fleet, which not only showed the world the strength of China’s new energy vehicles, but also made another progress on BYD’s road of promoting global green travel and devoting itself to "cooling the earth by 1℃".

As a global model and BYD’s first "strategic going out to sea" model, BYD Yuan PLUS Glory Edition has become a shining business card for China new energy vehicles to attack the global market with its global standards, global design and global quality since its design. For example, BYD ATTO 3 scored a perfect score in the collision test of NCAP in Europe and won a five-star safety rating. In the birthplace of automobiles, it is self-evident that it has achieved the best results in the most stringent tests in the world.

summary

As an A-class SUV selling more than 890,000 vehicles worldwide, Yuan PLUS Glory Edition has already proved itself with its strength. In our past impression, the choice of domestic brands for A-class SUVs is more of a compromise. If the budget is sufficient, we may choose domestic hybrid models or pure fuel models of joint venture brands. In this budget range, there are more or less shortcomings that consumers need to overcome themselves, but the appearance of the glory version of Yuan PLUS has changed this pattern and brought consumers a wider choice range.

Take globalization as the standard, create products that truly meet the needs of current users, especially young users, and create value for users with technological innovation from the demand. How can such a brand not be sought after by the market?
