At the age of 70, Nippon electric equipment group is rebuilding a "ten-year vision". "We want to achieve a society that is environmentally friendly, safe and where everyone can smile." Kuma Bu Zhao, executive director of Telstar Corporation, said. At the same time, he released a set of figures to cheyunzao: of course, Kuma Bu, executive director of electric equipment Co., Ltd., this pragmatic Japanese enterprise first set a small goal for itself: by 2025, the group will focus on the development of four major areas, namely, electrification, intelligent Internet connection, and non vehicle business, and take this opportunity to increase sales to 7 trillion yen, with a profit margin of 10%. In other words, the "c.a.s.e" strategy has become the future blueprint of the electric power generation travel scenario without any suspense. In addition to the hope of providing advanced means of future transportation and mobility for people who do not drive, electric equipment strives to realize the vision of the future society through the integration of IT technology and mobility, so the technical achievements of the new concept at this stage are mainly implemented at the level of electrification and automatic driving. At the level of electrification, at present, electric installation mainly focuses on the mass production of key components of hybrid cars, and relevant products have been widely used in the world. Cheyunbacteria learned that the global load of motor products is 3.5 million. It can be seen from the electric assembly stand of this Tokyo auto show that the company first changed the round line to the flat angle line by improving the winding technology, and the slot full rate increased to more than 10%, reducing the overall cost and the motor volume by 20%. In addition, the team also successfully applied the new technology to reduce the inverter mentioned by 40% and improve the cooling efficiency by 60%, so as to minimize the heat dissipation. The global installed capacity of the product has reached 5 million units. Not only the technical research and development of individual products, but also the rich experience in vehicle energy management. The detection accuracy of the monitoring unit (BMU, or BCU) is improved by 50%, and the original battery safety reserve of 10% is reduced to 3%. In short, users can get a visible increase in the actual power consumption, and the vehicle's comprehensive range is also increased by 7%. The Engineer in charge of the booth said that in terms of this figure, the electric equipment still maintained a leading position, and the friendly business had not reached the level before its promotion. Electric BMU products have been loaded with 13 million vehicles in the world, including HEV and main products. The product occupies 35% of the world market share, ranking first. On top of the underlying technology, it carries a higher social vision. In terms of electric equipment, the group said that its ideal is to realize an automobile society without traffic accidents, and focus on reducing traffic accidents, easing congestion, supporting the movement of the elderly, and solving the shortage of logistics drivers. Therefore, the group must accumulate experience in the quality and reliability of advanced technologies such as AI and automatic driving. In Kuma's view, camera and other sensor hardware has always been the strength of electrical installation. The monocular camera and binocular camera independently developed by the group are applied to small passenger vehicles. In view of the difficulty of AI technology itself, how to achieve high-quality AI has become the most important topic of the current electricity installation. So in April 2018, R & D Tokyo, a new development organization, was established in Tokyo. The business scope of the company mainly focuses on automatic driving, including active safety, the development of L2-L3 ADAS system functions and the development of L4 level automatic driving in specific areas, etc., which is oriented to multiple L1-L5 levels of automatic driving. As a whole, the active and passive safety technology of electric installation focuses on the field of passenger vehicles, and strives to expand the popularity of commercial vehicles. The Minister of advanced mobile system development department of electric equipment, okadairi, predicted that after 2020, full-automatic parking will enter the popularization period, and electric equipment has also been put into technical development. In the same period, the shared vehicle business will also enter the introduction period, until the mid-2020 ushered in a real popularization period. The latter is the ultimate mission of R & D Tokyo. Talking about the reason why the new organization was set up in Tokyo, he said, first of all, considering that the relevant R & D institutions, it enterprises and universities are mainly concentrated in Tokyo, we can strengthen external cooperation and accelerate information development through the development of common electronic platforms and development environment, and Yutian airport and other regions can also provide urban automatic driving test. In June 2020, electric equipment plans to continue to open additional test roads around Yutian airport, including the experimental vehicle preparation building and office area, he said. More importantly, Tokyo is easier to attract excellent software AI talents. At present, R & D Tokyo has a total of 300 employees, who are mainly responsible for the first development and verification experiment of automatic driving technology. In fact, in order to meet the transformation, the electric equipment has prepared a variety of key technologies. Gangtian Renren, director of advanced mobile system development department of electric equipment, pointed out from the technical point of view that there are five key technologies for the development of automatic driving: from the current research and development progress, electric equipment has relatively formed technologies at the level of L2 and L3 automatic driving. On this basis, the team will promote L4 and higher-level technology development through the testing of ad sensor components. At the same time, it will also combine the information outside the car, through the algorithm of cognitive judgment, as well as remote operation to verify the experiment. In the R & D stage, it is not only technical R & D, but also real vehicle verification. Denso allows users to take the automatic driving vehicle, and then collects and analyzes the technical data through the communication center, so as to continuously find problems, solve problems, and repeatedly promote technical iteration. In order to improve the development efficiency, R & D Tokyo is equipped with automatic driving virtual assessment environment equipment. By reproducing all kinds of actual vehicle driving environment, monitoring vehicle driving position at any time, data analysis, 24-hour operation. In case of problems, remote operation can also be carried out directly in the center. In fact, as early as 2014, the electric installation began the experiment of automatic driving. From the earliest Kumi island in Okinawa, to the online shopping in Hokkaido in 2017, to caoku, where the headquarters of electrical equipment is located in 2018, and now in Tokyo, verification tests have been carried out respectively. Not only in Japan, but also in Michigan in 2017 and Munich in 2019. The car cloud fungus noticed that at this stage, the electric installation automatic driving vehicle can complete the basic tasks such as identifying traffic lights. If there is a moving vehicle in the opposite direction, the vehicle will turn after it passes. When there is no traffic light at the intersection, the vehicle will stop and wait after the stop line, and then continue to drive. It is worth mentioning that the team also completed the verification work under the very bad environment. When Blizzard completely buried the driveway line, the electrically loaded autopilot realized the judgment of the surrounding scene through the GPS map location, and realized the function of lane keeping and so on. In addition to the storage of the above-mentioned key technologies, the electric equipment is invested with the base gas of automatic driving, which also comes from the quality and reliability of mass production for a long time, and the ability to deal with customers and businesses. Q: In the long-term vision of 2025, it is mentioned that the profit margin will increase by 8% in 2020 and 10% in 2025. In such an estimated data, how much can autopilot account for? A: By 2025, the overall mobile system will be 140 billion yen, about 75 billion yuan. Q: In recent years, sales data shows that the group's revenue in 2018 has shown a significant turning point. What's the reason behind this? A: In 2018, there was a big decline. Overall, it's growing, but in 2018, we invested in many projects, especially in autonomous driving, including electrification. We have invested in many companies, so this is a decline in our plan. Because it may be a balanced investment at ordinary times, 2018 is a year of concentrated investment for us, and it will slowly pick up in the future according to the normal track. Q: In the field of automatic driving, what investment actions does the group have in recent years? A: On April 1, 2019, we officially established two companies. The first one is j-quid dynamics, which is responsible for the software development of automatic driving integrated ECU, and the other one is blue nexus, which is mainly electric, and integrates our motor and inverter technologies to make integrated system. In order to better develop the semiconductor business, we reached the intention of establishing a new semiconductor business company in July, which is expected to be officially established in April 2020. The first autopilot company was founded by e-gear, partners such as Aisin, jettiget and adivics. And blue nexus was founded in cooperation with Ericsson. The new semiconductor company that subsequently reached an agreement was founded by Denso and Toyota. J-quid is positioned at tier 1, focusing on the entire autonomous driving technology. Because the company's partners are Ericsson and so on. They each produce car components. We buy them and assemble them to form a final product. We are responsible for combining several different systems, developing software to control the overall configuration, and combining hardware procurement and software development to form a final product to sell to customers. In this software development process, some are developed by the company itself, some are developed in cooperation with partners, and some of the things developed by R & D can also be used to form mutual assistance in technology. Q: At present, which parts of electric installation application technology are self-developed and which parts need to be completed with the help of partners? A: Through technical cooperation with Bosch, the earliest electronic equipment learned some manufacturing methods. After that, with the development of technology, we continue to improve our technical strength in air conditioning and other aspects, including electronic control ECU and other technologies in research and development. Now we have expanded the technical field to the overall deployment of systems such as automatic driving, including ADAS. One of the features of electric installation is that we have heat treatment technology, such as air conditioning system technology, which neither the mainland nor Bosch have. With our cars becoming more and more advanced, more and more chip components will be used for automatic driving, so heating is actually a big problem. Through the cooling technology of electric installation, including our Electrification Technology and sensor technology, we can provide more optimized system for future automatic driving. All of the above are technologies developed by the electric equipment itself. Specifically in the field of automatic driving, the camera of image sensor is completely developed by the electric equipment itself, and some other parts are purchased. The software is all developed by the electric installation itself. Q: What is the global scale of the R & D team related to autonomous driving? A: Some organizations, such as R & D Tokyo, may be all self driving. There are also R & D centers, including various skill departments, such as electrification and self driving. In this way, there are basically such relevant personnel organizations in the places where the headquarters of electric equipment is located. The number of ADAS plus ad technicians is about 1000. Q: How many test vehicles are there in the world and how many miles have been tested in total? A: There are about ten test vehicles, and the total comprehensive test mileage is 20000 km. With the mileage of data collection, it reached 2 million kilometers. Q: In terms of autonomous driving, what is the future plan for the Chinese market? A: At present, we have been collecting road information in China together with our partners, including the evaluation and test of sensors. The specific partner information is not easy to disclose now. Because the road environment in China is also very complex, including the accuracy of some maps, we may not be able to
