In March 2024, Car Quality Network and Carrefour Consulting jointly launched the annual China Automotive Product Quality Outstanding Contributor Selection Promotion Campaign, with the aim of showcasing the innovative practices of managers in the process of redefining and continuously improving product quality in multiple dimensions, and providing the industry with new ideas to deal with quality challenges.

In-depth corporate visits and research, and dialogue with outstanding contribution managers are an important part of this event. In this interview, Zhang Yue, senior vice president of Carrefour Consulting, talked to Li Jiayao, senior director of quality management of Lantu Automotive, and had in-depth communication on issues such as the construction of a large-quality platform system, a one-stop customer satisfaction system, and the creation of a "three ones" market "double fast" mechanism.

During the exchange, Li Jiayao said that the quality concept of Lantu Automobile is user-centered, striving for quality refinement and user experience quality to the extreme. Establish a comprehensive user-centered quality management system, in product quality building, to comprehensively benchmark high-end brands, committed to providing quality experience that always exceeds customer expectations.

As a high-end new energy brand created by Dongfeng Group, Lantu has completed the listing of three categories and three vehicles in three years, and recently launched new models, forming a product matrix spanning SUV, MPV, and sedan. The quality and safety of each vehicle are closely related to the construction of quality management system capabilities.

Since the establishment of the brand, the quality management team has built and improved the whole-process quality management system from the pre-quality planning of the whole vehicle to the improvement of the after-sales market. Li Jiayao said that relying on the quality management system, Lantu Automobile currently has the dual evaluation standard of "VES + exquisite quality". On the one hand, the items that customers focus on are constrained by VES evaluation; at the same time, for higher experience requirements, the bonus items that can bring surprises to customers are improved through exquisite quality evaluation, so that users can see, hear, hear and touch, all showing high-end enjoyment.

Previously, in the trial production stage of a certain model of Lantu, the touch button of the glass lift switch was introduced. Lantu has always adhered to independent innovation, but after the actual measurement, it was found that the experience effect was not good: problems such as insensitivity and easy accidental touch occurred frequently. Li Jiayao judged that there was a great risk of customer complaints in the future. The quality management team put forward suggestions in a timely manner, upgraded the CFT team (cross-functional team), and followed up the process on a daily basis. Finally, the new plan was officially introduced before mass production, and it was also recognized by users after listing.

Li Jiayao believes that Lantu Automotive is promoting quality management from the perspective of user experience, linking development, design, and production to connect the entire value chain, and ultimately forming a high-quality platform system.

Dynamically adjust Quality Standards based on user requests

The automotive industry pursues extreme efficiency, but there are no shortcuts. Relying on Dongfeng Group’s more than half a century of car-making heritage, Landmap Automobile has established an independent and controllable full-link system for research, production, supply and sales.

Li Jiayao said that in recent years, Lantu Auto has adopted a number of new technologies to improve product quality, and these measures run through multiple links such as Product Research & Development, manufacturing, and supply chain management. For example, in the stage of production capacity climbing, Lantu 4.0 digital factory integrating advanced technologies such as big data, edge cloud, AI, and the Internet of Things has played an important role.

Lantu Automobile uses numerical control hydraulic pad technology to match the high-speed synchronous stamping line of steel and aluminum mixed production, so that the error control of each process is at the industry first-class level (0.1mm); in the welding factory with 100% automation coverage, laser welding, ARPLAS welding and traditional welding technology are combined; 195 sets of high-precision servo tightening equipment on the final assembly line, through the self-developed TMS digital torque control system, to achieve 100% accurate control of the key torque of the whole vehicle, which can be traced back to nearly 10 years of torque data.

At the same time, the Landmap 4.0 digital factory uses AI technology to conduct more detailed inspections. Li Jiayao introduced: "In chassis inspection, AI is used to liberate manpower to prevent errors. And in terms of instrument door nameplates and other aspects, deep algorithm learning is carried out by the model, which can achieve automatic error prevention and timely correction of sound and light alarms. Through long-term learning, AI systems can evolve and iterate independently, and this technology is widely used in quality inspection."

In terms of supply chain, Lantu Automotive is committed to being "the setter and leader of the quality system and technical standards for new energy vehicle suppliers", establishing and improving the supplier quality system evaluation standard (VQS), summarizing 12 core processes and their management requirements, which can systematically and comprehensively identify the quality weaknesses of suppliers, and focus on the control of processes that affect key and important characteristics, early warning of quality risks, and make targeted improvements. "For suppliers, Lantu has established a supplier quality system auditor qualification certification mechanism, and regularly conducts part quality training including parts expertise, quality system, quality tools, etc., to continuously improve the auditor’s ability." Li Jiayao said.

For quality management, Li Jiayao believes that Lantu Automobile insists on user-centricity, and must start from R & D and production to ensure that the quality of each loaded part is qualified, and the quality evaluation standard is also dynamically adjusted according to user feedback. Taking the old model as an example, the odor index standard requirements are already within the industry-leading 3.0 level, but there are still a small number of users who put forward higher requirements. Finally, the standard was adjusted to 2.7, although only 0.3 different, but it is extremely difficult to achieve. Therefore, "the suppliers of key parts under our control have been extended from primary suppliers to secondary or even tertiary suppliers."

Such actions have received positive feedback from the market: a total of 42,547 vehicles were delivered from January to August, an increase of 90% year-on-year, and monthly sales also achieved "four consecutive increases"; during the period 2021-2023, the company’s products have no major/batch defects, and there are zero recalls. According to the data of Car Quality Network, the number of complaints of Lantu Automobile is lower than the average of its own brands, and the withdrawal rate and the manufacturer’s response rate are higher than the industry average.

6 years to meet the needs of overseas 500,000 users

At present, the development cycle of a new model in the industry has been shortened from 48-60 months in the era of fuel vehicles to 12-15 months for new energy vehicle conversions. The pace of conversions is trending towards consumer electronics.

"At the key juncture of the intensive launch of new cars, we have further strengthened the process control. For the change points of new models, key management characteristics such as process characteristics and product characteristics are included in the special feature control. At the same time, we fully implement the’Three Ones’ principle around improving user satisfaction," Li Jiayao said.

The "Three Ones" principle is the hard requirement put forward by Lantu Automobile for the whole value chain, that is, the problems reported by users must be responded to within 10 minutes, replied within 1 hour, and solved within 1 day, with the aim of improving user satisfaction. To this end, the factory quality field holds a special project promotion meeting for market problems at 1 noon every day, and a market quality feedback countermeasure meeting at 9 o’clock every night.

In the planning of Landmap, future users will be located in 60 countries around the world.

In September 2022, 500 Lantu FREE smart electric SUVs were officially shipped to Norway from Wuhan, and they were delivered to users quickly after arrival. Previously, the model has obtained the European Union Vehicle Type Approval (EWVTA) and can be officially registered in European Union countries. Subsequently, Lantu cars have successively entered Finland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Italy, Spain and other countries.

At the Beijing Auto Show in April this year, Lantu Automobile officially released the Let’s VOYAH "Total Lantu" overseas strategy, and announced the core goal of "6655": by 2030, it will be deployed on six continents in the world, enter 60 countries around the world, and build a total of 500 sales and service outlets. Overseas sales have exceeded 500,000 vehicles.

How does product quality support the achievement of goals and tasks? Li Jiayao frankly said that the quality management of overseas exported automobiles faces many pain points and problems. The first is cross-border cultural nuance; the second is that Quality Standards, consumption habits, laws and regulations are different from those in China; in addition, regulatory requirements are also different. The quality management team is faced with actual situations such as long problem confirmation and analysis cycles and after-sales services to be improved.

But he also stressed that the quality management team is actively and deeply understanding the local market, and strengthening the construction of after-sales services system, continuous improvement and innovation, striving to meet the needs of global consumers and create a "new business card" for Chinese car companies to go overseas.

On July 29 this year, the Lantu Automobile brand officially entered its fifth year since its establishment. The next practical challenge is how to take the scale to a higher level in the serious involution of the new energy vehicle market. Li Jiayao said that in this process, the quality management team will do a good job in product quality at the same time, by continuously improving the processing and analysis capabilities of quality big data, identify users’ personalized needs, potential quality problems and laws, cooperate with internal departments to respond efficiently, create a win-win situation with users, and comprehensively improve users’ experience of intelligent functions to meet users’ higher needs for safety.

SAIC Iveco Hongyan Commercial Vehicle (hereinafter referred to as SAIC Hongyan) Co., Ltd. was established in 2007 and owns three brands: Hongyan, IVECO (authorized use), Steyr (common use), Jieshi, King Kong, Jaka, Steyr, and 682 five series of heavy truck products, covering the mainstream 160-560 horsepower full power segment configuration of medium and heavy trucks, which can fully meet the transportation needs of highway logistics, engineering construction, special and other fields and multi-purpose heavy trucks.

As an international heavy truck brand under SAIC Motor Group, SAIC Hongyan integrates intelligence, big data and heavy trucks in depth to continuously lead the industrial upgrading of China’s heavy trucks.

Relying on intelligent projects

Building a comprehensive vehicle information service platform

SAIC Hongyan’s intelligent project effectively integrates advanced information technology, satellite positioning technology, data communication technology, electronic control technology, and computer technology, and uses satellite positioning data, real-time vehicle operating condition data, and video data inside and outside the vehicle as information sources. The distributed computing technology and open architecture design are adopted to soften functions, integrate various resources of vehicle services, and comprehensively apply them to vehicle safety information services and management systems.

Specifically, the intelligent project consists of two parts, one is the research and development work, and the other is the application demonstration and promotion work. Among them, the research and development work includes the research and development of three systems, one product, and two platforms, namely the Beidou satellite-based car positioning system, the car driving condition collection system, the car driving video information collection system, the car driving safety information integration embedded system end point, the car safety comprehensive information service platform and the SIH product life cycle information monitoring and management service platform.

The application demonstration and promotion work includes the automobile safety comprehensive information service center, the SIH product life cycle information monitoring and management service center construction and two application demonstration points vehicle end point installation and deployment.

The vehicle’s driving parameters are collected and processed through the internal body network, and the wireless access technology is used to realize effective data exchange storage with the remote management center, providing location information services, safety threshold alarms, fault information diagnosis, vehicle defect analysis, comprehensive vehicle condition assessment, accident post-event verification, remote information services, and full life cycle management. Thus, a real-time, accurate and efficient vehicle comprehensive information service platform with independent intellectual property rights and a wide range of functions is established.

In 2017, SAIC Hongyan Company launched a total of 17 heavy truck models, among which the first domestic Internet dream truck equipped with the first generation of intelligence system was launched and was highly sought after by the market.

After the voice assistant "Xiaohong" on SAIC Hongyan’s Internet Dream truck is connected to the driver’s mobile phone, it can directly start voice conversations on the truck’s display screen, make calls, play music, send WeChat voice and other functions, and can provide drivers with vehicle safety warnings, operating status and other services, without manual operation. The second-generation intelligence system will be put into use by the end of the year, when the facial recognition system will be realized to prevent drivers from dozing off and ensure driving safety.

Intelligent transformation for development

In the future, one-stop vehicle information services will be provided

Relying on intelligent transformation, SAIC Hongyan has greatly enhanced its brand influence and market share. In 2017, SAIC Hongyan achieved vehicle sales of 40017 units, an increase of 157.9%, and a market share of 3.65%. It ranked seventh in the industry, rising one place.

That year, the company achieved a number of "national firsts": the first in sales growth in the industry, the first in the country in terms of high-horsepower trucks, the market share of urban muck trucks is 35%, the industry ranks first, and the market share of mid-axle car carriers and mid-axle freight trains is 80%.

In the past May 2018, SAIC Hongyan’s monthly sales exceeded 7,000 units for the first time. In the previous 1-4 months, SAIC Hongyan sold 21,900 vehicles, an increase of 83% year-on-year, ranking sixth in the heavy truck industry.

Inspired by intelligent manufacturing, SAIC Hongyan has set a sales target of 60,000 vehicles this year, with a market share of 6% and a goal of ranking sixth in the heavy truck industry.

In addition to the existing impressive sales, SAIC Hongyan has implemented intelligent projects including system databases, system platforms, national patents, and software copyrights.

In the future, SAIC Hongyan will continue to integrate various safety-related data and information in the driving process, providing different business models for automobile manufacturers, vehicle safety information service providers, users, and equipment afterloading merchants, providing information support and one-stop service capabilities for the needs of automobile manufacturers, car owners, drivers, automobile service providers, car loan Financial Institution Groups, insurance companies, etc., reducing the overall cost and integration difficulty of the vehicle information service industry chain. At the same time, it also reduces the cost of traffic safety information service construction.

With the gradual deepening of the project process, it will quickly cover other vehicle manufacturers in the same industry, providing various services for the government, enterprises and drivers, which is conducive to enhancing the product and service value of automobile manufacturers, and enhancing the management and service capabilities of the government and related enterprises for road traffic safety. The direct economic benefits of the project are huge.

At the same time, the project has an important role in promoting the Beidou system and gradually replacing the GPS system in our country’s satellite positioning application field, which can promote the rapid development of our country’s independent satellite navigation application industry.

Big data establishment

Three stages to enhance core competitiveness

With the advent of the cloud era, big data has also attracted more and more attention. Data is the core competitiveness of enterprises and the soft power of companies. In order to strengthen business collaboration capabilities, realize data sharing, improve data quality and promote business innovation, SAIC Hongyan has been building big data since 2014 and plans to carry out it in three phases.

The first stage is to build a data warehouse. Build a data warehouse and realize the structured data integration and data quality improvement of various business systems such as enterprise resource planning, vehicle to everything, dealer management system, logistics execution system, etc. through ETL tools. Solve the problems of unconnected data, unavailable data, and untrustworthy data, and improve data sharing capabilities and analytical computing capabilities.

The scheme uses ETL tools compatible with various mainstream databases to perform log analysis on the source database, realizes the ability of incremental real-time capture of data, and cleans part of the data to improve data quality, and minimizes the performance impact on the source system. At the same time, the scheme is the first in the industry to use the columnar storage data warehouse, which relies on a high compression ratio to improve data storage capacity. At present, the data warehouse stores more than 20T of business data from the source system in less than 5T of space, which greatly reduces the company’s storage costs and improves data reading speed.

Relying on the advantages of column storage, data warehouse has greatly improved the analysis and computing power of data, especially for combined queries with multiple data orders of more than 10 million, the average running speed of the same calculation logic has been increased by nearly 100 times. The analysis results that need to be run for more than 10 hours in the source system can be calculated within 10 minutes in the data warehouse.

At present, this stage has been completed in 2016, with significant results, laying a solid foundation for subsequent analysis.

In the business analysis stage, SAIC Hongyan relies on data resources to provide the company’s management with a grasp of the company’s operating status, provide decision-making basis, and provide business analysis for business departments to promote business innovation, improve the company’s production and sales capabilities, reduce the company’s operating costs, promote the accurate development of new products, improve product quality and customer satisfaction, reduce the company’s financial business risks, and strengthen the company’s core competitiveness. This phase is planned to be completed in 2018.

The third stage is the data lake stage, building a data lake platform based on Hadoop to achieve horizontal and unlimited expansion of data storage and computing power. At present, the company has successfully implemented vehicle to everything, collecting vehicle location and main sensor data.

With the continuous rapid development of the Internet and the development trend of vehicle intelligence, future vehicles will see a large increase in sensor settings, which will further collect various sensor data and vehicle status data online. Sensor data even includes various sound and image information, and the amount of data will explode. It is expected that the amount of data will soon reach the petabyte level or even greater.

In addition, it will further improve the storage and analysis capabilities of structured data and unstructured data, and obtain more data information critical to the development of enterprises such as the global economy, national policies, and industry trends through legal and compliant technical means. This phase is planned to start in 2019 and end in 2020.

　　On May 20, GAC Honda’s new generation (11th generation) Accord was officially launched, with a total of 7 models, and the official guide price was 17.98-25 8,800 yuan. The new generation Accord adopts the latest appearance and interior design, and in addition to the fuel version, it also launched the PHEV plug-in hybrid version for the first time. So, how should the new generation Accord that has just been listed be selected?

　　What are the advantages and disadvantages of the new generation Accord PHEV version?

　　The new generation of Accord fuel version models are all equipped with a 1.5T engine, with a maximum power of 141kW (192Ps) and a maximum torque of 260Nm, matching the CVT continuously variable transmission. In contrast, the new generation of Accord of the PHEV version is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system composed of a 2.0L engine and an electric motor, of which the maximum power of the engine is 109kW and the maximum power of the electric motor is 135kW. The comprehensive maximum power of this hybrid system reaches 152kW (207Ps) and a maximum torque of 335Nm. Obviously, the new generation of Accord of the PHEV version has stronger power performance than the fuel version, which undoubtedly helps to improve the driving experience of the vehicle.

The new generation Accord fuel version

New generation Accord PHEV version

　　The new generation Accord of the PHEV version is equipped with a power battery pack with a capacity of 17.7kWh, which can achieve a pure electric cruising range of 82km and a comprehensive fuel consumption of 4.88L/100km. That is to say, the new generation Accord of the PHEV version can fully meet the needs of most users for daily commuting to and from work, and only use electricity and no oil at ordinary times, which can greatly reduce the energy consumption cost during daily car use. Even if the pure electric mode is not considered, the new generation Accord of the PHEV version can still outperform the fuel version in daily car cost with a comprehensive fuel consumption of 4.88L/100km. (The WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption of the new generation Accord fuel version is 6.60-6/100km)

　　Due to the different manufacturing costs, the PHEV version of the same model will definitely be more expensive than the fuel version, and the same is true for the new generation of Accord. For example, the top model of the new generation of Accord fuel version "Rui · T, Flagship Edition" is priced at 228,800 yuan, while the price of the entry-level model of the PHEV version "e: PHEV Smart Edition" has reached 225,800 yuan, which is only 3,000 yuan cheaper than the fuel version of the top model; if it is the top model of the PHEV version "e: PHEV Flagship Edition", its price has reached 258,800 yuan, which is already 30,000 yuan more expensive than the fuel version of the top model. It can be said that the price factor is the obvious disadvantage of the new generation Accord PHEV version compared to the fuel version.

　　What are the differences between the standard configuration of the new generation Accord fuel version and the PHEV version?

　　In terms of standard configuration, how different can the new generation Accord fuel version and PHEV version be? Let’s take a look at the standard configuration of the new generation Accord fuel version model, that is, the configuration of the "Rui · T, Comfort Edition" priced at 179,800 yuan, as shown in the table below.

　　In contrast, the entry model of the new generation of Accord PHEV version, that is, the "e: PHEV Smart Edition" priced at 225,800 yuan, is much better than the fuel version entry model in terms of rich configuration, as shown in the table below.

　　The new generation of Accord PHEV version of the entry model "e: PHEV Smart Edition", on the basis of the fuel version entry model "Sharp T Action, Comfort Edition", will include lane departure warning system, lane keeping assistance system, lane centering, road traffic sign recognition, active braking/active safety system, forward collision warning, reversing image, full speed adaptive cruise, active closed air intake grille, remote start function, low speed driving warning, leather steering wheel, HUD head-up digital display, main/passenger seat electric adjustment, adaptive near and far light, interior ambient light, exterior rearview mirror electric folding, exterior rearview mirror heating, exterior rearview mirror lock car automatic folding, including nearly 20 functional configurations are included in the standard In addition, the new generation of Accord PHEV version entry-level model "e: PHEV Smart Edition" upgrades the height adjustment of the main seat from 2 to 4 directions, and adds 4-way adjustment of waist support; the automatic speech recognition control system increases the control of the window, and the mobile APP remote function adds door control, vehicle start, and charging management. It can be said that the same is an entry-level model, but the "e: PHEV Smart Edition" (179,800 yuan) is much richer than the "Rui · T, Comfort Edition" (225,800 yuan).

　　What are the top model configuration differences between the new generation Accord fuel version and the PHEV version?

　　If the new generation of Accord fuel version entry-level models and PHEV entry-level models are replaced by their respective top models, will the configuration differences between them still be significant?

　　By comparison, it is not difficult to find that the configuration difference between the new generation of Accord fuel version top matching model and the PHEV version top matching model is not large. Compared with the price of 228,800 yuan "Rui · T Move, Flagship Edition", the price of 258,800 yuan "e: PHEV Flagship Edition" is more in the configuration, that is, automatic parking entry, suspension soft and hard adjustment, streaming media rearview mirror; in addition, the difference between the two cars in the configuration is mainly concentrated in the number of driving modes, seat materials and automatic speech recognition control system and mobile APP remote function can control the number of functions. The price difference of 30,000 yuan between the two cars is more due to the difference in the power system.

258,800 yuan "e: PHEV flagship version" is equipped with automatic parking and parking function

The 258,800 yuan "e: PHEV flagship" also comes with a streaming rearview mirror

　　What are the configuration differences between the new generation Accord fuel version and the PHEV version?

　　The middle model of the new generation Accord PHEV version is the "e: PHEV Premium Edition" priced at 238,800 yuan, and the middle model of the fuel version closest to it in price is the "Rui · T-Dong, Excellent Edition" priced at 213,800 yuan. The price difference between the two models is 25,000 yuan, but in fact the difference between them at the configuration level is still not particularly obvious, as shown in the table below.

　　In addition to the difference in the powertrain, the price of 238,800 yuan "e: PHEV Premium Edition", in the configuration of the main than the 213,800 yuan "Rui · T move, excellent version" more parallel assistance, reversing car side warning system, front mobile phone wireless charging, the rest of the configuration differences are mainly concentrated in the number of driving mode, automatic speech recognition control system and the number of exterior mirrors.

The "e: PHEV Premium Edition" priced at 238,800 yuan comes standard with wireless charging function of the front mobile phone.

　　Through the above configuration comparison, combined with the price of the new generation of Accord, if your car purchase budget can only support the purchase of models with a guide price of less than 200,000 yuan, then it is obvious that you can only choose between the entry-level model and the low-end model of the fuel-powered version, that is, the "Sharp T-move, Comfort Edition" of 179,800 yuan and the "Sharp T-move, Smart Edition" of 196,800 yuan. And if your car purchase budget supports you to buy a model with a guide price of more than 200,000 yuan, you can either choose between the "Rui T-Dong, Excellent Edition" of 213,800 yuan and the "Rui T-Dong, Flagship Edition" of 228,800 yuan, or directly choose the entry model of the PHEV version, that is, the "e: PHEV Smart Edition" with a guide price of 225,800 yuan. As for the middle and top models of the new generation of Accord PHEV versions, that is, the "e: PHEV Premium Edition" of 238,800 yuan and the "e: PHEV Flagship Edition" of 258,800 yuan, from the perspective of cost performance, its advantages are not as obvious as the entry model, that is, the "e: PHEV Smart Edition" with a guide price of 225,800 yuan.

What aspects will it meet the diverse needs of vehicles?

　　What is the origin of land exploration and what is the current population?

　　In 1985, the first generation of PATHFINDER was born, and it has a history of 39 years in overseas markets. After 4 iterations, it has inherited the "home", "off-road" and "advanced" genes, and has accumulated nearly 2 million users.
