In the past few years, China's new energy vehicle market ushered in the development of new energy models, production and sales of new energy models climbed year by year, and this is only limited to the passenger car market, in fact, the field of new energy models in the field of commercial vehicles also has a huge market, in November 8, Geely's commercial vehicle brand Remote Automotive released the Remote Star Han H, the official definition of the car as a new energy intelligent luxury heavy-duty trucks. The new car targeted to give life, energy supplement, driving assistance and other aspects of the solution, incorporating a large number of new technologies, compared to similar products now can be said to have a subversive change, the next I'll take you to see the future of logistics and transportation in the end what is it like?
From the exterior, we can see that the Remote Star Han H has more rounded lines than the current tractor, more like a conceptualized product, the body ground clearance is very low, even compared with similar products can be called "low lying", the wheels are also used in new energy models commonly used in the closed modeling, the rear drive wheels are almost completely enclosed in the enclosure. The rear drive wheels are almost completely enclosed within the surroundings, all of which are designed to give the vehicle a better aerodynamic shape.
When it comes to passenger cars, we all like to talk about design, while for heavy trucks, which are money-making machines, the actual users don't care much about the beauty of their appearance, and the design of these models is mainly functional, with visual effects as a supplement. As a tractor with a huge volume, the wind resistance coefficient of the Remote Star Han H is only 0.351, which means the reduction of energy consumption, and the most intuitive way is to save energy costs, and of course, as a new energy model, such a design has a certain effect on easing the anxiety of the range.
Buying a commercial vehicle is about making money, and trying to keep it on the road as much as possible is the only way to run it efficiently. Many users eat and sleep in the vehicle, so it's still a mobile living space in itself, and so the Remote Star HanH has a full range of amenities on board.
External kitchen
Washing and drying washing machine
On the left and right sides of the vehicle above the front wheel arches, there are an external kitchen and washing and drying washing machine, which are unique in this category.
The interior design of the Remote Star Han H is also subversive compared to similar models, with the center console adopting a driver-centered design, and the overall color of grey, white and logs as the main colors, which is visually very homely, and gets rid of the simple, brutal and dull and depressing design style of the past heavy-duty trucks.
The center console is equipped with a dual-screen design and a separate small LCD screen on the steering wheel, and the steering wheel also adopts a rectangular design, which is small in size judging from the pictures, somewhat similar to the feeling of a racing steering wheel.
Necessary amenities such as a shower room, toilet, single bed, refrigerator, and tea maker are also located at the rear of the cockpit, and this comprehensive design reduces the user's cost of living and indirectly improves operational efficiency.
Commercial vehicle transportation has always been a contradiction in information connection. Remote StarHub obtains information from logistics platforms, analyzes and processes orders, and calculates trip costs so as to match the most suitable business. Predictive energy management system, on the other hand, can integrate the vehicle's own multi-sensors and real-time data from the traffic network, upload the road condition information in real time and calculate the global energy consumption under multiple paths to help the driver recommend the most efficient routes, and at the same time, through the predictive energy management algorithm, it can control the power system to enter into the corresponding modes in advance (purely electric drive, range-extended drive, parallel drive, purely electric energy recovery and so on) in order to achieve the optimal economic performance; When the power is insufficient, the cloud map data is used to realize the communication between the vehicle and the energy supply platform for the driver to select the best replenishment routes for power exchange within a reasonable zone.
Through the use of modern technology, intelligent network, big data and other technologies to connect "people, vehicles, goods, stations, electricity", to help users save costs and improve operational efficiency.
Based on different usage scenarios, Remote StarHub matches a variety of new energy power modes, such as pure electric, extended range, methanol P2 hybrid, etc. For short-distance transportation on fixed routes, pure electric models can be used, extended range models are products that take into account low energy consumption and range, and methanol P2 hybrid is a product developed for specific routes in specific scenarios.
At the same time, both pure electric models and programmable models are equipped with a power exchange device, which provides the vehicle with a quick replenishment to ensure operational efficiency, and is currently the optimal solution in the absence of breakthroughs in the battery technology itself.
Commercial vehicles often run non-stop for the sake of efficiency, which brings the problem of fatigue driving, and at the same time, due to its large volume, driving is also a physical job, so these vehicles need higher-order driver assistance systems even more. Remote Star Han H is equipped with multi-dimensional perception hardware such as fusion LIDAR, millimeter wave radar, ultrasonic radar, surround-view camera, front-view camera, etc., and at the same time matched with 5G+V2X communication module and software algorithms, so as to realize the landing of the high-level automatic driving assistance, and the system itself can be continuously upgraded through OTA.
According to Remote Vehicle's planning, L3 highway self-driving and L4 limited-scene self-driving will be realized in 2023; L4 mainline logistics self-driving will be realized in 2026; and L5 self-driving combined with intelligent cockpit will be realized in 2030 for real industrialization. The landing of high-level driver assistance can free users from heavy labor, improve safety, and enhance operational efficiency at the same time.
Remote Star Han H is planned to be officially listed in 2024, the current policy given by the manufacturer is a deposit of 2,000 yuan to enjoy the purchase of 20,000 yuan gift; deposit of 10,000 yuan to enjoy the purchase of 50,000 yuan gift; in addition, the first 1,000 units of booking customers can get the exclusive VIP black gold card, lifelong OTA free upgrades, Telematics customization of exclusive services.
To the current exposure of information, remote Star Han H is more suitable for running on major highways in good condition, the domestic commercial vehicles both retailer operations and companies collectively, for the retailer price-performance ratio will become a decisive factor in the purchase of the car, for the company they need to run efficiently machine, manufacturers, although providing a variety of energy matches, but the corresponding infrastructure should also be The company is also looking for a comprehensive infrastructure, especially for the power exchange stations.
The tide of new energy is irreversible, and new energy, intelligent Internet connection, and high-level driver assistance are not developing fast enough in the commercial vehicle field. The Remote Star H can be considered a disruptive product in the domestic commercial vehicle market, and for Remote Auto to enter the game early will give it a head start. For this car how to balance the price, configuration, response to the traditional similar models is very critical, while the brand publicity to build a long way to go.
