Changan UNI-K extreme challenge 240-hour uninterrupted operation test

On September 20th, Changan UNI-K started a "super task" at the automobile test base of China Automobile Research Intelligent Network, Dazu District, Chongqing: challenging the 240-hour uninterrupted operation test. So what are the projects and highlights of this challenge? Let me explain it to you in detail.

I want to know how long your own car has been driving continuously. I'm afraid few friends spend more than 10 hours. Changan UNI-K is going to challenge the 240-hour uninterrupted running test of the same car, which is the first time in China. ?

The venue used in this challenge is the intelligent networked automobile test base of China Automotive Research Institute in Dazu District, Chongqing, covering an area of 940 mu. It is the first comprehensive test and evaluation base of intelligent networked automobiles in the southwest of China Automotive Research Institute.

UNI-K will drive continuously for more than 13000 km in these 240 hours. At 10000 km, it will drive at a speed of 60-80km/h except for replacement, refueling and necessary maintenance.

On the day of departure, the temperature in Chongqing was 19-3 1℃. According to the weather forecast, in the next 10 days, Chongqing will be dominated by cloudy weather with the highest temperature of 33℃. Hot and humid weather will also be a challenge to vehicle heat dissipation.

In order to ensure the fairness and openness of this test, Changan Automobile put the venue in the test field of a third-party organization, and will broadcast live on multiple platforms of the whole network for 24 hours. After the 240-hour test, the test car will be disassembled directly on site, and the core components will be compared with the new car components.

The 240-hour challenge puts strict demands on the reliability and stability of UNI-K. For example, the engine runs for a long time, and the parts are constantly worn out, which is not the same as daily driving 10000km; The continuous high temperature inside makes the test of sealing even greater.

As for the gearbox, it will overheat if it runs continuously for a long time, and the damage probability will increase due to long-term friction and system pressure, which tests the durability and heat dissipation of the gearbox.

In addition to the great challenges faced by the engine and gearbox, long-term driving will also cause great loss and wear to the tires and brake system.

In addition to the 240-hour uninterrupted test, UNI-K will also carry out challenges of different projects every day, including 0-200km/h acceleration test, 160-0km/h brake test, potholes, washboard roads, long slopes and other road conditions to test vehicle power and chassis performance.

Seeing this, some friends may ask, what is the significance of this challenge? This has to mention a prestigious event-the 24 Hours of Le Mans. As the three most famous automobile races in the world, the 24 Hours of Le Mans not only tests the speed of vehicles, but also tests their durability.

Although one is a racing car and the other is a civilian car, they face different working conditions, but the same thing is that the reliability and durability of the vehicle are extremely high. If UNI-K challenges successfully, it will be enough to face the high reliability and durability of Changan automobile products.

Editor's comment: For a long time, there is always a lot of prejudice against independent brands in the market. It is true that the development time of China's civil automobile industry is short, the product quality is poor in the initial stage, and the appearance plagiarism is heavy. However, throughout the history of automobile development in the world, except for some brands, other brands have had this stage. The development stage of China automobile industry just caught up with the Internet era, so the brand misdeeds like Zotye are more widely known. But even so, there are still companies like Changan Automobile and BYD that insist on positive development. With the rapid development of China's automobile industry, today's independent brands have the strength to challenge the joint venture brands in the price range of 200,000 yuan.

The 240-hour uninterrupted running test of Changan UNI-K is a good opportunity to show its durability and reliability to consumers and the strength of "Made in China" to the world. At this moment, the challenge of Changan UNI-K continues, and we will also pay close attention to this "super task". 10 days later, let's witness this historical moment together, and then talk about UNI-K's performance in this mission.
