My Wife is Actually a top-tier Soldier King?!-Chapter 1216 - 1104: Throwing Trillions Causes Controversy!
Barrages flying across the screen, controversy suddenly arises.
On the webcast platform of this press conference.
The audience was already large due to the holidays, and the significant impact of this major traffic accident attracted many people’s attention.
Wu Jie’s remarks at the press conference, to rational people, were incredibly moving.
In order to reduce the accident rate, for road traffic safety...
This time, Wu Jie really doesn’t know how much money he will spend.
Just the free modification and upgrade of all the school buses in the country is a hefty expense.
Not to mention the low-cost or even free replacement, allowing all the national buses and trucks to undergo a collective upgrade.
Such expenses, how could it be just a few billion?
Last year, the total number of vehicles in the country had already reached 240 million.
Of these, 190 million are private cars, and the remaining 50 million are buses and trucks.
Buses vary in price from hundreds of thousands to over a million based on different lengths, seating capacities, and configurations.
And there are even more trucks, from small micro-trucks carrying one or two tons to heavy trailers carrying hundreds of tons, with prices both high and low.
If we really need to upgrade from fuel vehicles to electric vehicles, from having minimal technological features to being fully-equipped.
The car owners would certainly be delighted.
After all, who doesn’t want their commercial trucks and buses, which are used for earning money, to be higher-end, more advanced, and safer?
And nowadays, the vehicle exhaust emission standards are getting stricter.
The national stage six vehicle pollutant emission standards, commonly known as ’China Six,’ will be implemented next year.
Vehicles that do not meet the emission standards will gradually face elimination.
Currently, many provinces and cities have already banned vehicles that only meet the China Three standards from the roads.
Vehicles that can only meet the China Four standards are rapidly depreciating, and the outlook for China Five standard vehicles is also not optimistic.
Some cities particularly focused on environmental protection simply do not allow polluting commercial vehicles into the city.
Of course.
Automakers, in order to adapt to increasingly strict emission standards, have already started to deploy three-cylinder engines, hybrid technologies, etc., in small cars.
And in large vehicles, i.e., buses and trucks, the cost of continuing to improve fuel engines and exhaust treatment technology has surged, it’s better to develop pure electric instead.
After all, pure electric vehicles with zero exhaust emissions, regardless of China Five, China Six, or even China Seven standards, can meet them.
Vehicle owners no longer have to worry about not being able to get annual inspections or insurance, or not being able to obtain permits for entering the city or for freight because their vehicle does not meet the emission standards...
The owners of buses and trucks, of course, are more than happy about a proposal like Wu Jie’s.
To replace the old with the new? Low-cost or even free upgrades?
How could they not warmly welcome such a great offer?
Those who had previously dared not buy pure electric ones did so because the batteries couldn’t be replaced, charging was inconvenient, and there was significant annual power loss.
Now that the previous shortcomings are gone, everyone has long wanted to switch.
Although the price of oil is cheap now, the operating costs of pure electric buses and trucks are lower.
The structure of the vehicles, not having engines or gearboxes like fuel vehicles, makes maintenance simple and saves quite a bit in maintenance costs each year.
Charging at fixed stations, or swapping batteries at swap stations, costs are not high, and they even get discounts on highway tolls.
Many long-distance truck drivers have experienced fuel theft, which is unsafe even in highway service areas.
These fuel thieves, when the driver is not paying attention, drill holes in the fuel tank and use a pump to siphon off the diesel.
Once the fuel is stolen, not only is there a loss of several thousand yuan in fuel costs, but the fuel tank also needs time to be repaired.
If calling the police, it would delay the time of freight transport, and truck drivers, keen to earn more money, prefer not to stop at all.
But if the truck were a pure electric...
A standardized, conveniently and quickly loaded and unloaded Graphene Composite Battery, weighs three hundred kilograms.
In battery swapping stations, specialized loading and unloading equipment are used for a quick swap.
If thieves change their target to stealing batteries...
They not only need specialized equipment but also adequate strength and expertise to handle it.
But there’s also a problem...
Before swapping the battery, the owner needs to confirm with one touch in the cab, forced dismounting will automatically trigger an alarm.
Moreover, each standardized Graphene Composite Battery has a unique identification code.
If the owner reports it, the stolen battery becomes ’stolen goods,’ and if someone tries to exchange it at the station, they’re walking right into a trap.
Most importantly...
Tianyuan Green Energy Auto provides the technology, which is manufactured by other well-known bus and truck manufacturers to produce new pure electric buses and trucks.
All vehicles adhere to a uniform standard, and like the Tianwei SUV, come with the same onboard intelligent system and all sorts of high-tech configurations.
For long-distance bus and truck drivers who frequently drive tired, having a full range of safety technology configurations is certainly something they have long desired.
Especially on highways, driving at night is particularly exhausting, sometimes a moment of distraction feels almost like falling asleep, and accidents occur.
Moreover, traditional trucks use air brakes, composed of air cylinders, air pumps, valves, brake shoes, brake drums, and other components.
Heavily loaded trucks frequently braking on long descents can lead to insufficient compressed air and overheated brake drums or even lock-up, even if water is sprayed for cooling, brake failure is likely to occur.
If they can’t brake, a truck weighing tens or even hundreds of tons plowing into other vehicles can have unimaginable consequences.
The new type of pure electric trucks is different, equipped with functions like cruise control and road condition monitoring, and uses more advanced and powerful electromagnetic brakes.
