Chapter 99: Can’t get on the cross-border tricycle?

After the official confirmation of the removal of "Rainbow" from the shelves, news of Snail Sharing Cars also came out.

Zhang Kaiping came to Hu Lai's office early in the morning. He and Snail had already reached an agreement and spent tens of thousands to buy a 90% new electric car from Snail.

When he heard that the Snail electric car was transported from Chengdu to the mountain city using a "wrecker's back truck", Hu Lai couldn't help but sigh. The distance was only 300 kilometers, but it still needed a back truck.

The cruising range is really the lifeblood of new energy vehicles.

After saying this, Kaiping Ping mentioned the electric tricycle again.

It has been five or six days since the last time Hu Lai proposed the electric tricycle, and all the internal design drawings have been completed.

Today happens to be the day for the internal discussion of the project team, and Kaiping Ping specially invited Hu Lai to participate.

Hu Lai doesn't pay much attention to electric tricycles.

The temporary decision to produce electric tricycles was a last resort because the Jingdong tricycle order occupied the production line.

Phoenix’s current focus is still on Snail Sharing Cars.

Unexpectedly, Hu Lai couldn't refuse Kaiping's repeated requests.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the Phoenix Factory's internal discussion on electric tricycles officially began.

There were six or seven people in the conference room, all unfamiliar faces.

Kaiping sat next to Hu Lai and introduced in a low voice: "Recently, the design department has recruited a lot of new people, most of them are new faces."

"This person on the stage is the designer of the electric tricycle project, the newly recruited designer, Wei Ming."

"I thought I was just an ordinary college student, but I didn't expect to find a treasure. I have a very high design talent!"

Extremely talented?

Hu Lai was stunned, looking at Wei Ming, a quiet and thin college student wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses on the stage, and suddenly became interested.

Although the design drawings of college students are a bit green, many wild and unconstrained designs often emerge from this greenness.

Wei Ming looked weak, but when he spoke, he was full of confidence.

“This time our design department came up with two plans.”

"This is the first option."

"For this plan, we adopted the traditional handlebar layout of motorcycles on the market. The overall design is simple, and the entire cab is open..."

Wei Ming opened the PPT, and the design drawings were displayed on the projection screen.

At first glance, it is just a slightly modified version of a traditional motorcycle-type tricycle, and there is not much difference.

not bad.

Hu Lai nodded. This was similar to the electric tricycle he imagined.

As far as the production of this version of the design drawing is concerned, it is considered qualified.

After Wei Ming briefly introduced the first plan, he clicked on the second PPT with a smile.

"This is our second plan..."

"We used a lot of line design to make the whole car look more layered."

"The entire cab is different from ordinary electric tricycles on the market. We use a fully enclosed cab to enhance the driving experience."

The moment the new PPT was opened, Hu Lai was stunned.

"Is this an electric tricycle?"

"Muscle hunk!"

“So handsome!”

Can an electric tricycle be designed like this?

Just taking a look, the name of a car suddenly flashed in Hu Lai's mind - Hornet!

It has a fully enclosed cab, blackened LED headlights, muscular lines, and a cargo box that looks extremely heavy.

A large number of lines outline a large and convex shape, and the entire cab looks full of muscles, making people feel powerful at a glance.

this!

Get up in no time!

Apart from three wheels, how else does this look like a tricycle?

Kaiping Ping looked at Hu Lai's stunned eyes and felt quite proud.

This is what you said yourself to design with stronger lines, three-dimensionality, and muscle.

This sense of muscle and three-dimensionality is quite strong!

Hu Lai was amazed in his heart. The sharp-edged lines and the muscular design completely exceeded his previous expectations!

If this is introduced to the market, who would believe that it is just an electric tricycle!

Hu Lai was quite excited, but Wei Ming's design explanation just ended.

After Wei Ming finished explaining his design concept, another person came up from the audience.

Zhang Kaiping said in a low voice: "This is a worker from the engineering department. He came from another factory. He also had experience in the design and production of agricultural tricycles before."

Hu Lai hummed softly. It seems that the Phoenix Factory has attracted a lot of talents during this period.

Huang Gong is a very typical engineering man. When he opens the PPT, the content involved is very professional.

"Our electric vehicle uses a brand new motor combination this time."

"Our motor uses a 2000W high-performance motor, which has sufficient power."

Hu Lai was stunned.

2000W motor?

Such a powerful motor?

He knows "Rainbow" very well. "Rainbow" only uses a 600W motor. This electric tricycle directly uses a 2000W motor?

Huang Gong was considerate and continued the introduction.

"Nowadays, mainstream electric tricycles use 1000W motors, but we directly use 2000W permanent magnet electric drive motors! The power is directly doubled."

"Nowadays, mainstream electric vehicles in the industry use a 60V45ah battery combination, but we use a 72V140Ah lead-acid battery combination, which is enough to provide more than 200 kilometers of driving range."

140Ah!

200 kilometers!

Hu Lai gradually felt that something was wrong. His original intention was to build an ordinary electric tricycle that was slightly more powerful than what was on the market.

But what Huang Gong is talking about now is probably not a little stronger.

Is this completely based on the ceiling of the industry?

Huang Gong was immersed in his profession and continued to explain.

"Ours is a heavy-duty vehicle with a chassis frame frame type. The main beam is a double curved beam structure, which has higher strength and higher load-bearing capacity!"

"We are equipped with independent hydraulic struts, a heavy-duty rear axle, an integrated stamped axle tube, and the rear suspension also uses 10 pieces of 63-width high-strength leaf springs!"

"With these configurations, our effective cargo capacity can reach 4 tons!"

4 tons!

What the hell!

Good guy!

The cargo capacity of a minivan is only 1.8 tons!

Light trucks only have a maximum limit of 6 tons!

What are you doing?

What's the meaning!

Can electric tricycles directly cost 4 tons?

Do you really want to use an electric tricycle as a pickup truck?

Hu Lai's eyes widened, he already felt something was wrong!

Originally, I just hoped to use the idle production line to produce ordinary electric tricycles to test the waters and expand the production line!

But what the hell did you design for me?

Crossover tricycle?

Hu Lai looked at Kaiping Ping angrily, but Kaiping had a charming smile on his face:

"Boss, you said this yourself. The lines, three-dimensionality, and muscles should be designed to be stronger."

"Make the motor more powerful and powerful."

"I did this according to your design ideas!"

Hu Lai was stunned, remembering that Zhang Kaiping had tried his best to invite him to the meeting in the office.

It’s called an internal discussion meeting on electric tricycles.

Is this an internal discussion?

Xiu'er, are you deliberately creating problems for me?

Kaiping, you are dishonest!

Hu Lai has a huge headache. Can the violent electric tricycle created with this configuration be mounted?

Thanks to "Northwest Flying Wolf Confusion" and "Xuan Yue Ji" for the two big monthly passes. Thank you brothers for their recommendations.
Chapter completed!
