[XCAR domestic new car original]

　　　　Near the end of the year, it’s time for a year’s summary. Today we will continue to talk about our own brands. It must be affirmed that the self-owned brand has made rapid progress in recent years. In addition to constantly introducing mid-to high-end models and breaking through to the high-end, in the compact car market inherent in the self-owned brand, the level of self-owned brand new cars has long been different, no matter from the technical or design point of view, it has matured a lot and gradually moved closer to the joint venture models at the same level. While the quality of products is rising, independent brands continue to maintain their advantages in cost performance, and impress consumers with the price that is close to the people. Let’s review ten important self-owned brand compact models listed this year. If you have plans to buy a car before the end of the year or the Spring Festival, these ten new cars are also worth considering.

　 　 ● Hippocampus familia M5

　 　 Price range: 74,900-118,900 yuan

　 　　Editor’s comment: The new Familia M5 has larger body size, younger design and more interesting technology, and its competitiveness has undoubtedly improved on the basis of the old Familia. However, in the highly competitive independent compact market, Familia M5 has no shortcomings, but it doesn’t have many advantages, and its advantages are not outstanding. It is not so easy to break through!

　 　 On May 8th, the brand-new Familia M5 in Haima was officially released. The new car is divided into 1.6 automatic transmission and manual transmission, with a total of 9 models, and the price range is 7.49-118,900 yuan. The new car will also launch a 1.5T model.

　

　 　　● More visual impact.

　　　　In terms of appearance, the design of hippocampus brand-new Familia M5 and Italian design company LD’ With the cooperation of A, the brand-new appearance ensures the wind resistance coefficient of 0.28. The front face of the new car has a larger straight waterfall front air intake grille. With the new headlight design, the front face looks more visually impactful, and LED daytime running lights are also equipped at the lower fog lights. The design of taillights is also very dynamic, and the chrome decoration on the license plate frame and the design of double tail rows make the tail of the new car have a good visual effect.

　 　　● Compared with the old models, the size has increased.

　　　　In terms of body size, Familia M5 has a length, width and height of 4698/1806/1477mm and a wheelbase of 2685mm, which is much larger than the old models.

The wheel size is 205/55 R16, and the 16-inch double 5 aluminum rings are not too small, but the design of the rims is a bit ordinary.

　 　　● The interior works more finely.

　　　　In terms of interior, the new Familia M5 adopts two colors of black+beige and black+orange. The center console is designed in black, and the high-end models provide a central control display screen, and there is a smaller display screen above it, which can display some vehicle information. The four-position multi-function steering wheel is fashionable in modeling design, and the bright brown design is adopted at the seat and door panel, which enhances a certain texture.

　 　　● There is enough space to place items.

　　　　In terms of space, there is not much storage space in the car, but it is enough to put down the water and mobile phones around, and there is enough space in the central control, armrest box, glove box and door panel. In addition, the trunk of the new Familia M5 has a volume of 415L, and the rear seat can be laid down in 4/6 minutes.

　

　

　 　　● New cars come standard for home use.

　　　　In terms of configuration, the new car comes standard with reversing radar, auto-sensing headlights, headlights delayed off, LED daytime running lights, rain-sensing wipers, leather multi-function steering wheel and so on. In addition, the high-end models are equipped with driving computers, automatic air conditioners, seat heating, electric skylights, etc. Safety aspects such as ESP, HHC ramp assist system and TCS traction control system will all appear.

　 　　● The 6-speed automatic manual transmission is competitive.

　　　　In terms of power, Familia M5 is equipped with a 1.6L engine in the early stage and a 1.5T engine in the later stage. The 1.6L engine adopts iVVT variable valve timing and variable intake manifold technology, with a maximum power of 92kW(125Ps)/6000rpm and a peak torque of 161Nm/4000rmp；. The 1.5T turbocharged engine, which was put on the market later, also adopted iVVT variable valve timing technology, with an estimated maximum power of 120kW(163Ps) and a peak torque of 210Nm.

　 　 In transmission, the 1.6L engine matches the 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic manual transmission, while the 1.5T engine only matches the 6-speed automatic manual transmission. For the chassis, Familia M5 adopts the front McPherson and rear multi-link design, and both adopt the lateral stabilizer bar.

　 　 ● Analysis of competitors and competitiveness

　　　　As a brand-new compact model with its own brand, the competitors of Haima’s brand-new Familia M5 are naturally BYD Speedy, Great Wall C50, Changan Yidong and Emgrand EC7.

　 　 Comparatively speaking, among these rivals, BYD Speedy and Great Wall C50 are equipped with 1.5T engines. In addition, Speedy also has remote control function and DCT dual clutch, which makes the brand-new Familia M5 not dominant in technology. However, Familia M5 still has certain advantages in CVT gearbox of Emgrand EC7 and 5MT of Great Wall C50. In the future, the arrival of Familia M5 1.5T model will widen this advantage and become one of the more powerful competitive models among the A+ class models of its own brand.

　　The General Department of the National Energy Administration recently issued the Notice on Publicity of Biodiesel Popularization and Application Pilot, which pointed out that in order to implement the new development concept, promote waste recycling, accelerate the green and low-carbon transformation of energy, expand the application scenarios of biodiesel in China, explore the establishment of replicable and scalable development paths and policy systems, and gradually form demonstration effects and scale effects, the application and review of biodiesel popularization and application pilot were organized. According to the publicity list, 22 application pilot projects in 19 cities, districts, counties and 3 enterprises including Haidian District of Beijing and Dezhou City of Shandong Province were selected.

　　As early as last September, the National Energy Administration organized a site meeting on the pilot project of biodiesel popularization and application in Shanghai. In November of the same year, the National Energy Administration issued the Notice on Organizing the Pilot Demonstration of Biodiesel Popularization and Application (hereinafter referred to as the Notice). After half a year, the publicity of the pilot list of biodiesel promotion and application marks the official opening of the pilot promotion of biodiesel in China, which will promote the development of biodiesel in China to open a new chapter.

　　Selected pilot projects are more representative.

　　Biodiesel is a liquid renewable fuel produced with animal and vegetable oils as the main raw materials, which has the characteristics of high cetane number and low sulfur. It is generally used after being mixed with traditional petrochemical diesel oil in a certain proportion, which has obvious effects on improving the emission of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and black smoke in the tail gas of traditional diesel vehicles. Biodiesel production in China is mainly based on "waste cooking oil" and oil residue from oil industry, which can greatly reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared with traditional petrochemical diesel.

　　In the "Notice" issued in November last year, the pilot demonstration contents listed by the National Energy Administration include promoting vehicle biodiesel in administrative areas or industrial parks, logistics parks and other areas, promoting vehicle biodiesel in logistics, public transportation, municipal administration, sanitation, postal express delivery and other industries, filling vehicle biodiesel in gas stations operated by enterprises with gas station operating qualifications, and promoting vehicle biodiesel along highways. In addition, the promotion and application of biodiesel B5 and B24 will be carried out in bonded areas, free trade zones and other areas, as well as inland rivers, lakes and other waterways.

　　Ji Xing, deputy director of the Special Oil Products Professional Committee of China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation, pointed out in an interview with the reporter of China Energy News that the pilot projects for the promotion and application of biodiesel publicized this time well matched the demonstration contents in the Notice and were all representative. "Among the 22 pilot projects selected for popularization and application, the projects of China Petrochemical Fuel Oil Sales Company, China Ship Fuel Co., Ltd. and Shandong Expressway Group are all based on terminal applications, covering gas stations, ships and highways respectively. The remaining 19 cities, counties and districts are mainly led by the government, and some biodiesel industries are very concentrated, such as Shijiazhuang, Cangzhou, Tangshan and Handan in Hebei Province. Some enterprises and governments are very enthusiastic, such as Qingdao, Shandong. "

　　"The pilot areas announced by the National Energy Administration generally have corresponding biodiesel production enterprises to match them." Deng Jinhua, chairman of Hubei Tianji Bioenergy Co., Ltd., located in Hanchuan, Hubei Province, told the reporter of China Energy News, "We can see that there are large enterprises with channel advantages, including China Petrochemical Fuel Oil Sales Company, etc., and we think that such a pilot will soon promote the application of biodiesel in all parts of China. We also have a positive will to carry out multiple cooperation with relevant channel parties and vigorously promote energy conservation and emission reduction projects according to relevant national requirements. "

　　Relevant conditions have been met.

　　In fact, China has been promoting biodiesel for more than 20 years. No matter from the perspective of food safety, energy security or green development, the impact and role of developing biodiesel cannot be underestimated. But up to now, except for Shanghai, which has formed a relatively complete industrial chain system of "receiving, transporting, handling, blending and using" biodiesel, it has not been popularized in other places, and some enterprises with biodiesel production capacity are mainly exported to Europe.

　　Talking about the reasons for the failure of promotion in many places in the past, Ji Xing pointed out to the reporter of China Energy News: "In many places, when formulating policy documents, there is a lack of scientific and systematic policy design, and the collection of raw materials is often ignored. There is no clear requirement and management for where the treated waste oil is sold, which leads to unstable supply of production raw materials."

　　According to Ji Xing, Shanghai has designed a flexible and pragmatic price and policy system, and formed a very scientific and perfect management model and system, so it can be successfully implemented. "Shanghai has provided a set of reference policy systems and management models for pilot promotion in various places. From the perspective of the supply of raw materials and the stability of production, there is no problem in the 19 demonstration pilot areas selected, and all the relevant conditions have been met. The core is still a management issue. "

　　"Biodiesel has been developed in China for so long, and the relevant standards and conditions are already available. In terms of technical reserves and production capacity, there is also production capacity to meet emission reduction in relevant regions, and technology is also at the forefront of the world. From the perspective of our company itself, we have also done a lot of work in the construction of the industrial chain, forming a stable raw material channel for our own industrial chain. " Deng Jinhua said.

　　Large-scale development still needs multiple efforts.

　　Data show that at present, the total output of biodiesel in China is more than 2 million tons/year, but most of them are exported.

　　In Ji Xing’s view, in the long run, there is still much room for the development of biodiesel in China. "Only the waste oil, if it can be fully collected, the remaining 230 prefecture-level cities will be fully covered, and the biodiesel production scale of 10 million tons/year in the future is no problem. If all the 10 million tons of biodiesel are produced into B5 biodiesel (biodiesel and fossil diesel are mixed at a ratio of 5% and 95%), the output can reach 200 million tons, which is enough to completely replace the current domestic consumption of national diesel, and the emission reduction effect is very obvious. "

　　"So if biodiesel is to be developed on a large scale in the future, it is a big problem to collect this piece of waste oil first, and then we need to make great efforts to further expand the collection intensity and scope. In terms of policy design, it is necessary to strengthen the management of the whole chain, and work together with the two goals of kitchen waste treatment and oil collection to achieve orderly management. " Ji Xing pointed out, "In addition, it is necessary to further reflect the green value of biodiesel through carbon trading and other systems to enhance its economy."

　　In addition to strengthening raw material source management, it is also very important to expand terminal application scenarios.

　　Deng Jinhua told the reporter of China Energy News: "At present, the application scenarios of biodiesel in Europe are very common and diverse. We hope that through this pilot, we can gradually open up the’ last mile’ of application and gradually expand the application scope and scenarios in the later period. In the future, with the National Energy Administration leading the promotion of the inclusion of biodiesel in the national certified voluntary emission reduction (CCER) mechanism, the emission reduction economy of biodiesel will be reflected, which will make up for the current price gap to a great extent, and I believe it will be gradually integrated with the market in the later period.
