In addition to looking up at the starry sky, everyone seems to be working hard to start making efforts, and the product release is also wonderful:
The new BMW 4 Series coupe
The position of coupe in BMW product array, as Mr. Norda, the director in charge of customers, brands and sales of BMW Group, said: "They are synonymous with' dream cars' and are the shapers of BMW brands."
Last week, in Munich, Germany, the new BMW 4 Series coupe was launched in the world, which perfectly explained the future evolution of BMW's forward-looking sports aesthetics and brand design DNA, and reshaped the market benchmark with more distinctive personality and better sports performance, especially for those customers who love forward-looking design and excellent driving performance.
As Mr. Duke, the brand design director of BMW, said at the press conference: "The 4 Series inherits the lineage of many legendary BMW models-such as BMW 3.0 CSi and BMW 328, but it boldly and confidently reinterprets many classic design elements. Starting from this generation of 4 series, the number "4" will represent a more confident and expressive product line. Because we believe that its customer base has a distinctive personality. "
The family kidney air intake grille on the front face of the new BMW 4 Series adopts the vertical mesh structure design of the M-performance model, which extends almost downward to the lower edge of the front apron in the light and shadow effect of rhombic plaid, showing a domineering and full tension and conveying its extraordinary personality. While paying tribute to the tradition, the designer also gave this car more modern flavor: the kidney-shaped air intake grille and headlight outline lines, like two sharp arrows, cooperate with each other and extend to the slender design of the front wheel arch. The "angel eye" shape composed of four light sources side by side outlines the sharp front face. Compared with the previous generation, the new BMW 4 Series has a larger body size. The short front and rear suspension, frameless door, roof line and window design outline the smooth and slender elegance and movement, and the wide and muscular rear highlights the sense of strength ready to go.
In addition to the appearance, the personality of the new BMW 4 Series coupe is more distinct than the previous generation. The iteration of its body structure, power transmission system and chassis technology has injected new driving pleasure into it.
The specially adjusted front wheel has a larger outward inclination angle, which enables it to transmit lateral control force more effectively when accelerating cornering, giving the vehicle a more unique driving experience and excellent dynamic performance;
Equipped with the latest generation of 8-speed sports automatic manual transmission with shift paddles, it has optimized shift characteristics and higher shift efficiency;
Customized support components effectively improve the rigidity of the car body, and the car body weight and chassis technology are accurately optimized through intelligent material combination, which greatly improves the collision safety and ensures excellent handling flexibility and accuracy;
The tail of the car body adopts targeted aerodynamic optimization to reduce lift and provide excellent driving experience.
At the same time, the new BMW 4 Series coupe is equipped with the latest digital interconnection technology of BMW Group, including intelligent interconnection cockpit, seventh-generation BMW iDrive intelligent human-computer interaction system, BMW intelligent personal assistant and many other forward-looking digital service functions, which reflects the breakthrough leadership of BMW Group in leading future travel in the field of D+ACES (design, automation, interconnection, electrification and service).
Bosch motorcycle guardian angel
With the continuous iteration and optimization of driver assistance technology, the active and passive safety level of the vehicle has been taken to a higher level: during the driving process, machine vision will monitor the driving safety of the vehicle in real time, give an early warning when danger is found, and even brake with agility and intensity exceeding the human reaction speed; In case of danger, the system will report the assessed accident degree to the safety or rescue organization through the network according to the grade, and rescue the personnel in the car with the fastest response and maximum ability.
But there is also a driver who faces greater risks than drivers and passengers, but gets less protection. They are motorcycle riders. According to statistics, the risk of motorcyclists being killed in accidents is 20 times higher than that of car drivers.
Last week, Bosch released the motorcycle digital emergency call system -Help Connect. Its principle is to use the sensing information installed in the vehicle inertial sensor unit to measure the acceleration and angular velocity (that is, the speed at which the angular position of the object changes with time) at the frequency of 100 times per second, and accurately calculate the current position and inclination angle of the motorcycle, so as to monitor whether the motorcycle has a traffic accident (specifically different from accidental rollover when parking). Connect to the Vivatar emergency application of Bosch via Bluetooth, so as to generate location information and relevant rescue data including emergency contacts through the integrated mobile phone application or the motorcycle brand manufacturer's app, and send them to the Bosch service center to help the emergency rescue develop quickly. In this way, even if the rider is seriously injured because of the accident, he can get quick and effective positioning and rescue.
Economy class seat of Saifeng in the epidemic era
According to the real-time data of Johns Hopkins University in the United States, as of June 8 10, there were 7,006,436 confirmed cases and 402,699 cumulative deaths in COVID-19. The global impact of such a turbulent epidemic will not only change the economy, politics, medical care, travel and other industries from the macro level, but even rewrite the design styles and details of many products from the micro level.
For example, Safran Group, a multinational aircraft, rocket engine, aviation equipment and defense equipment manufacturer, released a brand-new airplane economy class seat-Interspace Lite last week.
Because many airlines temporarily lock the middle seat of three seats in order to meet the epidemic prevention requirements of keeping the social distance between people, Interspace Lite adds a suite to the middle seat, which not only meets the requirements of isolation and privacy protection, but also takes into account the convenience needed for flight attendants and emergency escape, and also increases the comfort of window seats and aisle seats, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
