The latest technologies and products from various industries take center stage at this year's Western China International Fair for Investment and Trade (WCIFIT), which runs from Thursday to Sunday in Chongqing.
The flagship new energy product from Xinyuan Automobile, the Xinyuan E3 series, made its presence at the WCIFIT. This model is based on Xinyuan Auto's latest E Pure Electric Platform and features an industry-first functional cargo box. It is equipped with a high-density power battery, achieving industry-leading performance in its three-core electric system. Additionally, the vehicle's central console is pre-installed with two phone holders and one heads-up display holder, catering to the needs of drivers for multi-platform order management and navigation.
Changan Automobile also showcased its industry-leading SDA (Software Defined Automobile) six-layer architecture platform. This platform features the world's first industrialized central + zonal ring network architecture, reducing the number of vehicle controllers from over a hundred in a traditional platform architecture to just three zonal controllers in the current central centralized architecture. This marks an evolution from a distributed to a centralized electronic and electrical architecture.
Additionally, this platform incorporates industry-leading battery-to-body integration and an all-in-one lower-body cast aluminum process. The electric drive system utilizes an 800V high-voltage platform, enabling 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in around 3 seconds and achieving a range of 150 kilometers with just a 5-minute charge.
Chongqing Huafon Chemical Co., Ltd showcased several leading new material products both domestically and globally. For instance, its aluminum thermal transfer materials boast excellent thermal conductivity, strength, and corrosion resistance. They are widely used in new energy vehicle power batteries, engineering machinery, power plants, and air conditioning heat exchange systems. Currently, the annual production of this product reaches 200,000 tons, making it the market leader in China.
At the Zhejiang exhibition booth, a row of exquisite crystal sculptures dazzles onlookers, and the intricate patterns within them are even more astonishing. The booth staff explained that these were carved using crystal laser engraving machines produced by Zhejiang Holy Laser Technology Co.
Crystal laser engraving involves directing a laser of a specific wavelength into the interior of glass or crystal, causing tiny explosions at specific points to form bubble points. Clear and intricate designs are created by controlling the density of these bubble points.
Currently, the company’s laser engraving machines are widely used for 3D laser engraving in transparent hard materials such as crystal, glass, and acrylic. Their applications span crystal processing, customized gifts, and glass decoration.
