SAIC said that most of the models currently on sale are equipped with double-effect filter elements that meet the N95 standard, and are equipped with "N95 masks" for vehicles, equipped with negative ion generators, independent intelligent air purifiers and other equipment to block bacteria to the greatest extent.
Geely announced the "order number 1", and within 20 days, it overcame the development of the real vehicle regulation "N95", isolated harmful substances in the outside air, quickly and efficiently purified the air inside the vehicle, and focused on breaking through the virus prevention function and technology inside the vehicle, effectively inhibiting and reducing the harm of the virus to the human body.
FAW officially announced that the self-developed "anti-virus in-vehicle air disinfectant" contains traditional Chinese medicine ingredients and has the function of inhibiting and inactivating viruses. This product can provide safety protection for drivers and passengers, and at the same time, it is non-corrosive to on-board equipment and facilities such as seats.
He Xiaopeng said that he can design a car that is one meter waterproof, unmanned, military-grade high-strength glass and medical-grade air system, usually for personal use. If necessary, temporary donations can be made to make temporary tents and isolation rooms. ...
During this vicious epidemic, car companies concentrated on thinking and guessing about healthy cars overnight. In addition to the above cases, there are countless automobile companies such as Jaguar Land Rover, Qoros and Volvo. They have written a military order and are determined to build their products into a mobile sterile cabin that is immune to all poisons. Just so far, no one can tell what standards a really healthy car should have.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are grievances. Just like the recent debate about whether healthy cars are marketing gimmicks or ambitious, people's concept of "healthy cars" has become increasingly vague, and their beautiful imagination of future cars has been clouded in this noisy environment. In view of the current epidemic situation, the positive impact of this chaos on the industry is fading, which does not bode well.
There is no doubt that most people will not refuse to own a fully functional and effective health car. We prefer to believe that all the enterprises involved are sincerely benefiting consumers and promoting scientific and technological progress. But in the end, it is difficult for consumers to have a sense of trust without similar technical means and product attributes, and without a unified grade standard.
Imagine the standard of "healthy car"
The establishment of perfect standards is often the result of collective efforts. Since it is proposed to formulate a unified standard for "healthy cars", we should know what the relevant enterprises have done for this project at present.
Looking through the health car announcements of various car companies, I found many high-frequency professional words, such as "car N95 mask", "AQS air quality management system", "PM2.5 air conditioning filter", "nano-negative ion car sterilization system", "IAPS intelligent air purification system", "intelligent ecological forest protection air conditioner" and "VOC material with high surface standard" and so on.
No matter which technology can only show superficial efforts and which can really pose a threat to harmful substances, in short, most of these theoretical knowledge is limited to improving the air quality and environment in the cabin, which is obviously humble compared with the great proposition of "healthy car". In the long run, the grand proposition of healthy cars must be driven by unconstrained thinking, which requires not only professional interpretation by enterprise research institutes, but also bold imagination as much as possible.
A valuable example is Tesla's "biochemical model" not long ago. In this mode, the vehicle can not only disinfect the closed cockpit, but also increase the air supply volume in the vehicle under the action of the blower, so that the air pressure in the vehicle is slightly higher than the external environment and the impure air outside is squeezed out.
This working principle is similar to that of negative pressure ambulance, except that the idea of the latter is to extract air from the outside to limit the gas emission in the car, while the Tesla biochemical model is just the opposite.
Imagine if one day in the future, family cars can popularize professional negative pressure rescue technology, and each car will become a relatively safe mobile individual.
Especially for the first-tier cities with a large number of motor vehicles, it will definitely play a positive role in disease control if a considerable number of mobile carriages can be temporarily added in special periods.
Of course, if enterprises can't create such a strange brain hole out of thin air, there is a more efficient and convenient shortcut, that is, to make use of the integration advantages of OEMs and cooperate with relevant technology companies or security agencies across borders to jointly develop healthy technologies suitable for family cars.
The obstacles to this cooperation model have long been removed. Take 3M and Honeywell, two companies that have recently become popular in the mask industry, for example. They have been dealing with China automobile enterprises for many years and have maintained good cooperative relations.
Especially in June, 5438+10 this year, 3M company also established 3M's first automotive materials science research institute (AMSA) in Shanghai, trying to take advantage of its new materials and technologies in key fields such as lightweight and electrification to further improve production efficiency. Their fancy and dependence on the automobile industry should be transformed into the maximum application of environmental protection and health technology in the automobile field, so that cars can wear real "N95 masks".
There is no doubt that the technical input from N95 mask manufacturers will be much more mature and fair than the self-talk of enterprises in product publicity announcements.
In addition to air purification, virus removal and other functions, the greater mission of the health car is to achieve all-round health protection and ensure that every user can feel the care of the word "health" at any time. Otherwise, after the epidemic passed, they wouldn't have such significance today.
This requires car companies to be more forward-looking. In order to build a standard healthy car, they can completely break through the shackles of the traditional supply chain and choose companies that have nothing to do with cars to explore.
For example, contact relevant medical device companies to develop a steering wheel that can monitor body temperature, heart rate and even blood pressure in real time; Develop smart cameras with technology company * * * to monitor the driver's status; Work with the autopilot company to develop a takeover mode to prevent emergencies, which is used for driving control when drivers suddenly feel uncomfortable.
If conditions permit, it can be further improved and extended to the field of general motors.
For example, automatically identify the distance between the owner and the vehicle before getting on and off, purify the air inside the vehicle in advance, and even disinfect the outside of the vehicle. For some illegal driving behaviors, such as fatigue driving, drunk driving and driver's mood, vehicles should be monitored and stopped in time to ensure the smooth operation of various safety and health-related indicators.
Technology gives priority to output, and standards are urgent.
After establishing a unified understanding of healthy cars, should unified standards be implemented?
The answer is yes, and the more detailed the better. At present, the concept of healthy car is mixed, because all the false and untrue propaganda contents launched by car companies can not be verified, let alone whether the verification process is fair, which will lead to consumers who really need it not knowing who to trust, and even dare not pay the bill categorically, thus causing the bridge between buyers and sellers to collapse.
Therefore, this issue of justice from a third party is essential. This organization can be China Automobile Association, professional automobile association or any official organization, but it is difficult to change that it must have authoritative and excellent appraisal strength.
For example, among the automobile evaluation standards, the evaluation standard of collision test is the strictest, and the decomposition items are the most complicated, so that there are only 2-3 credible collision test institutions in the world. But it is precisely because of this that the collision test methods and collision results of authoritative organizations can be recognized by the world and the global automobile collision test system can be mature.
By analogy, establishing standards for healthy cars can naturally be promoted according to the idea of collision evaluation system.
If the air quality in the car can reach the "Arctic" level, whether the seat materials and interior fabrics are easily contaminated by viruses and bacteria, and whether the in-vehicle system can isolate dozens of viruses can all be displayed through clear and intuitive data. The health index detection function can be calculated according to a fixed formula, and finally an objective score or an excellent middle-poor grade can be obtained, which consumers can naturally judge.
On the other hand, if a manufacturer can judge that his car is N95 standard only by intuition and existing knowledge in the theoretical circle, it is totally untenable from the standpoint of consumers, even if it is called N990, it will not help.
For a healthy car, there are two appropriate ancient poems by China that deserve our deep thought. The first sentence is "Don't stick to one pattern and drop talents", and the second sentence is "No rules and no Fiona Fang and Fiona Fang". It is the right of every car company to be whimsical and creative, but the final result is not afraid of inspection under the unified specifications, which is considered a success.
Therefore, in the contest at this stage, who is good and who is bad, who can get more attention is second, and the key is which one can guide the whole industry to implement a recognized healthy car standard.
If this goal is achieved, there will be no more snowflakes of flying news and rumors, and no more dirty water of "marketing concept" will be spilled on your head.
