I haven’t seen Qingxia Lin for a long time. At the age of 69, his physical condition is truly amazing.

Recently, long-lost actress Lin Qingxia gave an interview to Taiwanese media, saying that she would soon return to Taiwan to attend the Golden Horse Awards ceremony.

She not only prepared her acceptance speech, but also hired her friend Zhang Shuping to tailor her beautiful clothes.

Lin Qingxia even revealed that for the Golden Horse Award, he managed to lose 5 kilograms in a month.

Judging from the photos posted by the media, Lin Qingxia’s temperament is still gentle, and the blessing of time has made her more elegant and generous.

The mental state of the whole person has also improved a lot.

But Yang remembered that some time ago, many people guessed whether she had Alzheimer’s disease…

Because in the photos circulating at that time, Lin Qingxia was talking to people, her eyes were slightly lax, her expression was in a trance, and her condition was somewhat similar to Alzheimer’s disease.

Furthermore, the text in her social media update at the time also clearly emphasized that she was concerned about Alzheimer’s disease, and all her actions raised some doubts.

But now it seems that everyone’s worries may be unnecessary.

I feel like I’m still in this state, my style is still the same, and I’ll have no problem staying in the entertainment industry for a few more years.

Needless to say, the current netizens were quite sensitive. Not to mention looking at pictures to make up stories, even their own bodies were making crazy guesses.

Sheep recently reported that many internet users have noticed a sudden decline in their memory and feel that they have entered the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease.

These "memory fragments" often appear in life.

I saw a real-world friend, but I couldn’t name him; I suddenly couldn’t remember how I had left my original place.

At first I thought I was getting older, but Yang recently saw a post saying that it might be because my brain is starting to deteriorate from too many short videos.

Many people expressed the same feeling. Since indulging in short videos, their memory has become worse and worse.

I became reluctant to think, and my brain became tired.

The whole person is very impulsive. I can’t stand reading large paragraphs of text, and my language skills are getting worse and worse.

My concentration has also dropped a lot, and my study and work efficiency have also decreased…

Let’s put it this way, does brushing your teeth too much really make your brain worse and dumber? How to hydrate your brain?

> > >

Short videos are addictive and expand the mind

Have you ever noticed that even if you’ve been working all day and are exhausted, as soon as you open a short video, you feel immediately happy and can’t even stop.

In fact, it is ultimately the brain’s fault.

Dopamine is unstoppable.

We have a mysterious "reward circuit" in our brains.

When we watch funny videos, our brain produces more dopamine than usual, causing feelings of excitement, pleasure, and happiness.

This feeling of happiness and excitement is like a reward, and the brain has a very strong desire for this reward.

This desire translates into a powerful motivation that motivates us to keep brushing our teeth.

Single women are obsessed with electronic boyfriends, migrant workers keep pets in the cloud of mobile phones, and some netizens turn into online judges…

This constant cycle of arousal is like a curse, making us dependent on short videos, even "addicted".

Degeneration of frontal lobe function

This addictive state causes the brain to go through two main stages. First, the cranial nerves produce a desensitization response.

After a period of "reward stimulation", the brain gradually gets used to this feeling of happiness and excitement.

At this moment, more stimulation is required to maintain a high level of arousal.

That said, you used to feel excited and happy by swiping short videos for two minutes, but now it can take an hour or more to reach the same level.

Then comes the second stage, the sensitization reaction.

As our brains become accustomed to achieving pleasure and excitement by swiping through short videos, we may gradually lose interest in other ways to achieve pleasure and excitement.

For example, reading books, acquiring new knowledge, exercising, etc.

Our hobbies will gradually merge into one, focusing only on cleaning short videos.

In the process of constant stimulation, desensitization, and sensitization, the function of the frontal lobe of our brain gradually deteriorates.

The prefrontal lobe is precisely the most advanced part of our brain, responsible for a variety of advanced cognitive functions, including memory, judgment, analysis, and thinking.

Over time, people will experience memory loss and poor learning.

Also, brushing short videos takes a lot of time and even affects the brain’s relaxation time. The level and activity of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine are also reduced.

This is not conducive to brain organization and memory consolidation, and it also increases the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

By the way, this means that we office workers just want to relax after get off work every day, but we end up with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease?!

So what can we do to break this addiction? Is there a solution?

How to restore the brain to a highly intelligent state

Make sure to swipe short videos correctly

Schaap reveals a few tips to get rid of the excessive intrusion of short videos!

Mainly to generate resistance or rewards for playing mobile phones.

For example, if you need to focus on your work, you can leave your phone in another room, close it, or lock it in a drawer.

In this way, when we want to swipe short videos again, we are not happy at first, but this behavior is troublesome. Of course, we will stop brushing our teeth before we get into the habit.

Or set up a reward mechanism for yourself and divide the tasks you want to complete into N small goals.

Each time you complete a small goal, you can reward yourself by watching a 5 to 10 minute video. Set an alarm in advance and return to the original task as soon as the time is up.

Secondly, you can also try to choose videos that offer new knowledge or spiritual inspiration.

Avoid vulgar, negative or gratuitous "nipple fun" content.

For example, by using skill software, playing musical instruments, painting skills, etc., you can make good use of this time to improve your skills.

If you see a funny or inspiring short video, you can also share it with those around you to deepen the conversation.

Also, you can review relevant information to validate key points and delve deeper into the topic.

This not only helps you think differently, but also enhances your thinking skills.

Search for alternative entertainment activities

We can also use some other entertainment methods instead of brushing our teeth.

For example, once you step into building blocks, you can easily enter the heart flow state.

The mindfulness developed by this habit is also very beneficial for learning, and it can train people’s mindfulness very well.

Or find some handmade DIY is also good, such as digital oil painting, diamond painting, beading, crocheting and so on.

When you do these crafts, you can not only exercise program memory, but also improve working memory and activate the brain.

If you are too lazy to exercise, you can also lie down and watch sports events.

It can increase adrenaline, stimulate people’s minds, and generate positive encouragement at the same time.

After reading, not only will you not feel the emptiness and depression after entertainment, but you will also feel more in the mood to learn.

In addition to determining the time to brush your teeth and engage in other recreational activities, we can also supplement nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and tyrosine.

By supplementing the brain with nutrients, it regulates the metabolism of dopamine, acetylcholine, and other substances in the brain, maintaining brain health and improving attention and memory.

In this age of information explosion, short videos are indeed a double-edged sword.

It is difficult to stop completely, but we can use it as a tool rather than allowing it to control us.

The control of turning "electronic opium" into "electronic vegetable" is always in the hands of the person in front of the screen.

In fact, not only short videos, but also many things in our lives contain hidden damage.

For example, the "bare-leg artifact" has caused a lot of controversy recently. Every winter, the bare-leg artifact becomes a big hit. In winter, it can not only be matched with all kinds of beautiful skirts, but also fashionable, thin, and warm.

To be honest, I have been busy paying attention to the "invisibility" of the bare-leg artifact until today, when someone finally came forward to speak out about its drawbacks.

The bare-leg artifact is simply a "beautiful torture device". After wearing it for less than an afternoon, my feet were so strangled that I couldn’t even use my thumb.

Someone said that he was strangled to death by the "bare-leg artifact" Jiagou Yan…

In other words, is this bare-leg artifact really that scary?! What other dangers do we not know about? Can I still wear it?!

Responsible editor:

　　　 Edison Chen, who has not been seen in Beijing for a long time, appeared in Beijing today to hold a press conference for his first new album "confusion" after his comeback. Edison Chen, who has not appeared in public for three years, is a little less ruffian than before, and more calm as a mature man. He collectively referred to the "pornographic photo door" incident three years ago as "that incident", saying that "that incident" brought him a lot of blows. When he retired from the entertainment industry, he stayed in the United States to rest and his mind grew a lot. And the album "confusion" is the beginning of his new start.

　　　 Experienced anger and self-loathing

　　　 Edison Chen admits that he will be nervous when facing the media at present, and he will also be afraid that his identity will prevent the album from being approved for the full track in the mainland. However, the worries proved to be in vain. He said: "I am very happy that every song can pass, and the media in the mainland are very kind to me, and I feel very relieved." Chen Edison said that during his time in the United States, he experienced three psychological processes: anger, hating himself and slowly having hope. The previous coddled lifestyle habits have also been changed, and even the chores of cooking and washing clothes are done by himself. It is this kind of life that makes him feel that he "sees the world more clearly" and can more calm down to do his favorite singing career.

　　　 Stable relationship with girlfriend

　　　 Speaking of his relationship with his girlfriend, Yang Yongqing, Edison Chen said that their relationship is very stable for now, but the woman has just graduated and wants to start working, and she hopes to improve her career, so the wedding date has not been determined for the time being. "If it was four years ago, I would have thought that I would get married soon, but now I want to get a job and a company, and then talk about marriage." However, Edison Chen said that his biggest goal is marriage, "I hope to have my own family, and I hope to have two or three sons."

In the last month of 2023, the inventory pressure of automobile dealers eased.

As of December 31st, 2023, the latest issue of "Investigation on the Inventory Early Warning Index of Automobile Dealers in China" released by china automobile dealers association shows that the inventory early warning index of automobile dealers in China was 53.7% in December 2023, down by 4.5 percentage points year-on-year and 6.7 percentage points quarter-on-quarter. The inventory early warning index is above that of threshold, and the automobile circulation industry is still in a recession, but the prosperity has rebounded significantly. This is the lowest month since 2023.

It is worth noting that although the inventory pressure has eased, the terminal price war has increased. The price of American B-class cars dropped to 130,000 yuan, equivalent to the original price of A-class cars; Luxury brands have even introduced a price reduction of more than 100,000 yuan.

"The price is adjusted every month, even once every half month, mainly according to the changes in the market and the price strategy of competing products. In December, many manufacturers officially cut prices, and dealers also made profits out of their own pockets. For 4S stores, it is very important to complete the sales tasks of manufacturers and get rebates. Generally speaking, the amount of rebate can cover the loss of selling cars. " The sales manager of a car 4S shop told reporters that the terminal price war in 2023 almost runs through the whole year, and the competition is fierce. It is easy to take away customers who don’t cut prices.

The price war entered the sprint stage.

When the automobile market entered the fourth quarter of 2023, the automobile industry entered the sprint stage. Since November, 2023, automobile manufacturers have successively announced price cuts, and the market has started a new wave of price cuts. However, the price reduction at that time triggered the wait-and-see mood of some consumers. Although the passenger flow increased significantly, the transaction rate of many 4S stores did not meet expectations. In December, it entered the final sprint stage, and the market demand in the peak season began to be released continuously at the end of the year. According to the report of china automobile dealers association, at present, there are nearly 20 car companies that have announced the reduction of car prices, dealers have also increased limited-time preferential schemes, and local subsidies have been intensively introduced to fully promote car consumption. Driven by the tide of returning home, the superposition of the year-end promotion, passenger flow and sales volume exceeded expectations. It is estimated that the retail volume of passenger car terminals in December will be around 2.45 million, which is basically the same as that in December 2022.

The survey shows that the inventory index decreased in December, while the market demand, average daily sales, employees and operating conditions index increased. At the end of the year, consumers’ demand for cars continued to strengthen, and dealers’ operating conditions improved. Market demand and daily average sales index have entered the boom zone, while the other three sub-indexes are still in the slump zone.

From the inventory index of sub-brand types, the import and luxury, joint venture and independent brand indexes all showed a month-on-month decline in December. Among them, the import and luxury inventory early warning index was 53%, the mainstream joint ventures and independent brands were 54.4% and 53.4% respectively, which was significantly lower than last month. The inventory early warning index in November was 56.6%, 61.1% and 63.5% respectively.

According to the development law of the automobile market, the sales task at the end of the year is relatively heavy, especially in this year’s fierce market competition, dealers have to adopt the strategy of rapidly reducing prices. Among them, luxury car brands have relatively low inventory pressure, but the current preferential strength is unprecedented. According to car home’s website information, in Beijing, the maximum discount for mercedes benz c class is 136,000 yuan, the maximum discount for BMW 3 Series and Audi A4L is around 100,000 yuan, and the maximum discount for Mercedes-Benz E class is around 160,000 yuan. Since 2023, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi have all been reported to make large subsidies to dealers.

On the other hand, at the end of 2023, some manufacturers reduced production, which eased the inventory pressure of dealers to some extent. On November 3rd, FAW Toyota released the production reduction to dealers and lowered the sales target from December 2023 to January 2024. In addition to reducing production, FAW Toyota also launched a new round of promotional activities. Consumers who purchase FAW Toyota models including Corolla, RAV4 Rongfang, Asia Dragon, Grevia, Crown Lu Fang, Lingfang, Ruifang, Asia Lion and Yize from December 1 to 18 can enjoy financial schemes such as direct purchase tax subsidy of 5,000 yuan, replacement subsidy of up to 6,000 yuan and low down payment/zero interest rate.

More than 60% of dealers have not completed the manufacturer’s tasks.

Despite the recovery of automobile consumption in December 2023, there is still a long way to go before the OEM’s assessment targets and expectations for dealers. Near the end of the year, dealers get year-end rebates to achieve the annual task objectives, and intensify the inventory clearance, but the profit pressure is still relatively high. Overall, the operating conditions of dealers in 2023 are not optimistic. According to the survey, 37.4% dealers have completed the annual task, 39.4% dealers have a task completion rate of 70%-90%, and 23.2% dealers still have a task completion rate of less than 70%, which is far from the annual task target.

Under the price war, the profitability of automobile dealers is weakened. "In the past, a 4S shop sold 100 cars a month, which was a big store in the main city, and it could also break even. But now under the price war, the price of new cars is seriously upside down, and it is impossible to make money by selling 3,000 cars a year. " A car brand dealer said that a number of dealer groups have begun to shrink the number of outlets and reduce the number of stores.

Judging from the discount rate of vehicle terminals, according to thinkercar discount data, by the end of November 2023, the discount rate of the whole industry was 12.62%, and the discount rate of fuel vehicles was 14%, much higher than that of new energy vehicles (9.3%). No matter the discount rate of fuel vehicles or new energy vehicles, there is no sign of turning heads in the current trend.

"The decline in consumer purchasing power is the main reason for the price war in the auto market, especially the decline in the purchasing power of low-end consumers. In 2022, the number of self-owned brands of vehicles under 100,000 yuan has dropped significantly. However, many dealers are now in a state of loss and have a high debt ratio. Manufacturers usually put inventory pressure on dealers to promote sales. This can be achieved through various commercial policies, such as manufacturers giving dealers a discount of 3,000 ~ 5,000 yuan or even 10,000 yuan for each car sold, or offering acceptance remittance, implementing a cash refund policy, or offering an interest-free policy. These policies will play a role when dealers purchase goods in large quantities. However, in the case of a downturn in the auto market, many dealers misjudged the prospects of the auto market, making it difficult to make a profit. " In an interview with reporters, the management of an independent car company said that in the past few years, the new car dealers could still make profits after the OEM rebate, but under the tide of large-scale price reduction in 2023, the financial pressure on dealers increased, even if they got the rebate, many dealers also lost money. "Some powerful dealers can make money in after-sales business by relying on the amount of ownership. Generally speaking, the after-sales business brought by car ownership can support the profit of dealers for three years, but in the case of continuous deterioration of the market, dealers will also face great survival pressure."

The overall profitability of dealers in 2023 has not been announced. However, from the first half of 2023, the joint venture brand suffered the most losses. In the first half of 2023, the investigation report on the living conditions of national automobile dealers showed that the overall profitability of luxury/imported brands was relatively good, about one third of dealers lost money, and nearly half of dealers realized profits. The loss-making dealers of joint venture brands and independent brands accounted for 51.3% and 48.0% respectively.

The pressure on joint venture brands is mainly due to the impact of independent new energy vehicles in 2023, and the market share of joint venture brands relying on fuel vehicle business is rapidly shrinking. According to the data of the Federation, the Japanese market share dropped from 24.1% in 2020 to 17.6% in the first half of 2023, with a drop of 6.5%, which was the most obvious decline. The market share of German cars dropped from 25.5% in 2020 to 21.4% in the first half of 2023. American models fell from 9.4% to 8.5%; Korean models dropped from 3.8% to 1.7%.

According to the latest report of Easy Car Research Institute, medium-sized cars have contributed major sales and profits to mainstream joint venture car companies such as Volkswagen, Toyota and Honda, which is similar to the "base camp" of joint venture car companies. Facing the challenges of competing products such as BYD, joint venture car companies have no retreat and can only burn their bridges. In the first three quarters of 2023, although the sales ranking of medium-sized cars was still dominated by Camry, Passat, Magotan and other fuel vehicles, the large-scale price reduction promotion made the vast majority of dealers operating fuel medium-sized cars in a state of losing money and earning money. At the beginning of 2024, BYD may set off a new round of price war focusing on medium-sized and above products, leaving little time for competing products such as Volkswagen, Toyota, Honda and Nissan. This time, it will directly hit the "last fortress" of joint venture car companies.

According to the china automobile dealers association report, looking forward to 2024, dealers believe that the automobile demand this year will continue the growth momentum in the second half of last year, but the competition will be more intense, and they will continue to face the problems of falling new car prices, high inventory pressure, tight funds and low bicycle profits.

Sanya Phoenix International Airport: When returning to the airport after receiving short-distance passengers –
Taxi accessFast Queuing Channel

Hainan Daily, Sanya, August 17 (Reporter, Xu Huiling) Hainan Daily reporter learned from the Sanya Municipal Transportation Bureau on August 17 that in order to standardize the operation order of taxis at Sanya Phoenix International Airport, effectively improve the service level of drivers, and solve the problem of short-distance passenger travel difficulties from the source, taking into account the interests of the majority of drivers, the bureau decided to open a fast queuing channel for vehicles after picking up and dropping off short-distance passengers at Sanya Phoenix International Airport from August 17.

　　Do you think Hengchi Auto is conscientious enough?

　　China News Service client side Beijing, January 13 (reporter, Wu Tao) The seemingly stable mobile travel landscape has undergone frequent changes recently. Meituan has launched online car-hailing services in many places; Mobike has also launched shared car services; Didi has taken over the small blue car and announced that it will launch its own shared bicycle platform. What do these changes show? What changes will it bring to the industry and ordinary users?

　　Mobile travel melee: cross-border turf grab

　　After these changes, the reporter interviewed three companies separately. Didi said that the shared bicycle itself will bring convenience and benefits to users, and its layout does not conflict with the online car-hailing business, but the travel scenarios are different.

　　After launching the shared car business, Mobike said it aims to use its own technology to create a three-dimensional transportation model that integrates vehicles, piles, and networks, providing a one-stop solution to consumers’ multi-scenario travel needs from cycling, to driving, and then to cycling (ride-ride-ride).

　　Meituan commented that its mission is to let everyone "eat better and live better", and catering, entertainment and other businesses are closely linked to travel, and entering travel services happens to make the user experience more convenient.

　　For these changes, Li Yi, chief researcher of the Internet Research Center of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, analyzed in an interview with China News Service reporters that only the takeaway business seems to be a bit far from the connection with mobile travel, but in fact, internationally, including Uber, online car-hailing companies have long started to do takeaway business.

　　"Meituan’s mentality of deploying online car-hailing may be’rather than being passively beaten, it is better to take the initiative to attack ‘, and this can also add’story’ to Meituan’s listing," Li Yi said.

　　According to public information, in 2015, Didi invested in food delivery platform Ele.me; Uber also launched food delivery business Eats in 2014, and they also have delivery service Uber Rush.

　　Li Yi analyzed that everyone originally thought that takeaway, online car-hailing, and shared bicycles would become industry oligarchs respectively, but these current changes show that once a platform economy is formed, it is very dreadful. Businesses have no boundaries and can cross borders at any time. Now it is takeaway, and it may also be express delivery in the future.

　　The money war is likely to strike again

　　This round of cross-border turf grabbing is menacing. It is reported that Meituan’s online car-hailing rate is 8% for drivers, which is more than double that of Didi, and there are rewards in some areas, such as zero for the first three months for the top 50,000 drivers in Beijing.

　　The reporter also noticed that whether it is due to competitive pressure, the established online car-hailing company Yidao has recently lowered the proportion of drivers, from the original 21% to 5%. However, the actual controller of Yidao and the founder of Taoyun Capital, Wen Xiaodong, said that this has nothing to do with Meituan’s commission reduction to 8%.

　　Not only online ride-hailing, but also in the field of shared bicycles, the platform war has always been in a state of "burning money". Various discounts and free riding activities continue; the monthly card model launched by Mobike and ofo is even more inexpensive, with a minimum of only 2 yuan for a monthly subscription.

　　In addition, why is it possible to restart the money-burning war in the field of mobile travel? During the investigation, the reporter found that the driver’s loyalty to the online car-hailing platform is not high. Some online car-hailing drivers told the China News Network reporter bluntly, "Naturally, which platform gives more money and which one goes."

　　"In this situation, the possibility of a money-burning war is very high." Li Yi analyzed that if Didi’s response is not sensitive enough, Meituan’s online car-hailing has the opportunity to become bigger; but if Didi responds, it needs to adjust the proportion of drivers. However, Li Yi also said that if Didi’s response is sensitive enough, it may be difficult for other platforms to compete with it in the field of online car-hailing.

　　Didi founder and CEO Cheng Wei also commented on Meituan’s online car-hailing platform. He said that there are 350 online car-hailing platforms in China, and there is only one more competitor. Didi has encountered too many competitors. Meituan is certainly not the weakest, but it may not be the strongest.

　　Users will enjoy more discounts for subsidized taxis and bicycles

　　What benefits can users get from corporate melee and mobile travel? Users who have experienced the 2014 online car-hailing subsidy war know that red envelopes that cost more than ten yuan are not a joke, and a taxi starting price is properly available. Once mobile travel once again triggers a money-burning war, red envelopes are naturally indispensable.

　　Li Yi said that for the majority of users, mobile travel chaos is definitely a good thing. If there is competition, the service will be better, and users may also receive competitive subsidies.

　　In addition, users will also have a better mobile travel experience. Imagine a shared bicycle deposit, a variety of shared bicycles can be ridden casually; the connection between shared bicycles, shared cars, and online car-hailing is not stuck, and 1 minute will not be wasted; your takeaway may be delivered by an online car-hailing, which is faster and more stable. What’s more, maybe you can eat takeaway in the car in the future.

　　These are not impossible. For example, Didi has launched a "one-click crayfish" service; its platform has also brought together functions such as special cars, express cars, ride-sharing, and shared bicycles. In the future, shared bicycles will also include a variety of shared bicycles, including ofo and small blue cars.

　　There are various indications that it is a high probability event that an APP can solve all things in the future. Mobike also said that in the future, users will be able to use Mobike shared cars without switching APPs to realize functions such as unlocking, returning cars, and paying orders. One APP can meet a variety of travel needs.

　　But here comes the problem again, it is also an APP that includes all mobile travel services. Do you choose Mobike, Meituan, or Didi? The battle between giants is still inevitable. (over)

According to the daily economic news, under the "price war" one after another, the hardcore off-road vehicle market has become another market segment for car companies. According to MIIT’s new car declaration information, dozens of models will be listed in the domestic hardcore off-road vehicle market in 2024. In March alone, three models, the new Prado, the Tank 700 Hi4-T, and the iCAR 03, were pre-sold or listed.

On March 18, the dark blue car’s first hardcore off-road vehicle, the dark blue G318, was unveiled, but the specific price was not announced. The "Daily Economic News" reporter learned that considering the current domestic hardcore off-road vehicle market price gap, the dark blue G318 may lower the price, and the price range is expected to be 250,000~ 300,000 yuan.

Northeast Securities Research Report data show that the current domestic hard-core off-road vehicle concentration is high, sales show price polarization, the first echelon is the tank 300, 500, and BJ40 as the representative, the price range of 16~ 300,000 yuan of independent brand models; the second echelon is the guardian, G-class as the representative, the price of luxury imported models of 700,000 yuan and above; the middle price segment of the product is weaker.

At present, in the first echelon, the tank series models firmly occupy the first position. If the starting price of the deep blue G318 is set at 250,000 yuan, it will be directly aimed at the tank series of the first echelon and overlap with the configuration price of the equation Leopard 5. It is worth noting that in the face of increasingly fierce market competition, the pricing strategy of the upcoming hardcore off-road vehicles may also change. It is reported that the starting price of the Ford Liema, which will be pre-sold at the end of March, is expected to drop to 300,000 yuan.

Although car companies are accelerating their entry into the hardcore off-road vehicle market, it is still a niche market in terms of volume. Northeast Securities Research Report believes that high fuel consumption, high manufacturing costs, and excessive noise in the car are the reasons that hinder the hardcore off-road vehicle market from becoming the mainstream. However, new energy off-road vehicles can make up for the shortcomings of traditional fuel hardcore off-road vehicles, and can give hardcore off-road vehicles a wider range of use scenarios. It is expected that with the new energy giving hardcore off-road vehicles more urban use attributes, the long-term space of our country’s hardcore off-road vehicle market is expected to exceed 800,000 vehicles.

Taking the Deep Blue G318 as an example, its feed fuel consumption is as low as 6.7L/100km (CLTC), and at the same time, it can achieve a pure electric battery life of 190Km and a comprehensive battery life of over 1000Km. In the opinion of Deng Chenghao, CEO of Deep Blue Automobile, the reason why the Deep Blue G318 can solve the pain points such as "high energy consumption" and "poor comfort" of traditional hardcore off-road vehicles is due to its dark blue super range extension 2.0 technology.

It is reported that Deep Blue Super Range Extension 2.0 technology integrates Force Superset Electric Drive 2.0, Force Intelligent Range Extension 2.0 and Golden Bell Battery 2.0 into one, among which Force Superset Electric Drive 2.0 has the highest operating efficiency of electric drive assembly of 92.59%; Force Intelligent Range Extension 2.0 can achieve 1 liter of 3.63 kWh of electricity, which greatly reduces the cost of using a car; Golden Bell Battery 2.0 can achieve the long life of the power battery.

A few days ago, Changan Automobile released the new Blue Whale Power All-Scene Solution, and Deep Blue Super Range Extension 2.0 represents its breakthrough in range extension technology. "The new Blue Whale Power has made new breakthroughs in the’digital electromechanical ‘. For example, on the dual-motor electric drive used for plug-in and mixing, you can freely select and lock the plug-in and range extension dual modes with one click, and the intelligent driving management system (IEM) can realize all-terrain driving adaptation." According to Wang Jun, president of Changan Automobile, vehicle products equipped with the new Blue Whale Power All-Scene Solution will also be released and unveiled one after another from March, and will soon be put into the market.

According to the plan, in 2024, Changan Automobile will have two models powered by the new blue whale, namely the Changan UNI-Z and the dark blue G318. Among them, the Changan UNI-Z is a plug-in product, and the dark blue G318 will be equipped with range extension technology.

Reporters learned that next, the new blue whale power will empower Changan Automobile’s three major product brands. Take Deep Blue Automobile as an example, in the next three years, it will launch 6 product series, with the rhythm of more than 2 new products per year, a total of more than 12 new and modified models will be launched.

Whether it is Deep Blue G318 or New Blue Whale Power, it can be seen that the speed of Changan Automobile’s new energy transformation is accelerating. Recently, it was reported that new assessment methods for three central automobile companies, including Changan Automobile, are under discussion and are expected to be issued soon. Several new indicators, including market share, profit structure, technological innovation, and safety production, may be included in the new assessment system.

According to the plan, in 2024, Changan Automobile will achieve the goal of 2.80 million sales of the group, of which 750,000 new energy sales. "We will firmly take the product as the main line and promote the three intelligent new energy brands of Changan Qiyuan, Deep Blue Automobile and Avita to work together to build differentiated brand value." Zhu Huarong, Secretary of the Party Committee of Changan Automobile, said in a recent interview with reporters that this year, 9 new products such as Avita E15, E16, Deformable Digital Intelligence New Car E07, Deep Blue G318, Deep Blue C857, and Changan Qiyuan C798 will be launched one after another to comprehensively optimize the supply structure of Changan Automobile products.
