On November 28, 2023, the first China International **Chain Promotion Expo officially opened in Beijing. China's first luxury electric off-road car, the Mengshi 917, was unveiled at Dongfeng Motor's booth. Wang Jiong, Deputy General Manager and Chief Brand Officer of Mengshi Technology, and General Manager of Mengshi Automobile Sales and Service, was invited to attend the Smart Car Special Forum of this Chain Expo and delivered a keynote speech.
Wang Jiong said in his keynote speech that providing users with a value experience that exceeds expectations is the unremitting pursuit of Mengshi Technology. In the future, Mengshi Technology will work with its first-class chain partners to continuously create a new intelligent experience of electric off-road with disruptive technological innovation, and bring users the oriental off-road charm of "crossing mountains and seas, reading extraordinary, and enjoying life".
It is reported that as the world's first national exhibition with the theme of the first chain, the first chain expo set up five major chains and first chain service exhibition areas such as intelligent car chains, with a total exhibition area of 100,000 square meters, attracting more than 500 Chinese and foreign enterprises from 55 countries and regions to participate in the exhibition, focusing on the display of new technologies, new products and new services in the key links of each chain.
Innovation-driven, decisive victory in the intelligent new energy track
In recent years, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation has accelerated, and the global automotive industry chain has been reconstructed at an accelerated pace. As a state-owned central enterprise, Dongfeng Company thoroughly implements the requirements of stable chain, strong chain and solid chain deployment, strives to be the "chain leader" of the automobile industry chain, completes the strategic layout of new energy brands, platforms, commodities, key assemblies and core technical resources, and forms a full-category new energy brand pattern of "Mengshi" luxury, "VOYANT" high-end, and "Dongfeng" mainstream.
Adhering to the mission of Dongfeng, relying on the strong support of the industrial intelligent manufacturing system and local high-level first-chain partners, Mengshi Technology has realized the integration and innovation of military vehicle off-road technology and intelligent electric technology, successfully created a new off-road species - Mengshi 917, and opened a new era of luxury electric off-road in China.
It is reported that there have been more than 5,000 orders for Mengshi 917, the first product of Mengshi Technology, which is hot in the market.
Architectural Advantages Create a ceiling of off-road performance
Mengshi 917 is the result of Dongfeng's forward-looking layout in the value chain and industrial chain such as new energy, intelligent networking, and off-road ecology. Thanks to the local high-level ** chain partners, Mengshi has come up with China's first luxury electric off-road technology solution - Mengshi intelligent off-road architecture M Tech, realizing the world's first serialization and the industry's first innovative technology.
Up to now, Mengshi Intelligent Off-road Architecture M Tech has applied for more than 450 patents, and has successively won the Special Award of the Jury of the China Automobile Festival, the "2023 China Automobile Extreme Safety Peak Challenge" award, the "2023 China Top Ten Chassis", and the "Best Off-road Award", showing comprehensive advantages in safety, drivability, off-road performance and other performance.
The Mengshi off-road platform MORA adopts the industry's first electronically controlled off-road chassis, with high-precision control strategy and excellent chassis performance, which can achieve a minimum of 51 meter turning radius, and to achieve the first domestic off-road vehicle "crab walking" mode. The powerful intelligent air suspension system ensures passability under extreme off-road conditions and brings good ride comfort.
Mega Power is China's first powertrain with more than 1,000 horsepower, using the world's first two-speed gearbox with integrated differential lock and oil-cooling technology, which not only has surging and controllable power output, but is still safe and reliable at the limit power. Based on this, the Mengshi 917 has successfully completed more than 10 consecutive direct pulls of the Tengger Desert sinkhole in summer, and more than 5 consecutive direct pulls of the Bilutu Peak in the Badain Jaran Desert, subverting the stereotype of the public on electric off-road.
Intelligent technology gives products strong vitality
The use of intelligent technology to lower the threshold of off-road driving and improve the outdoor off-road experience is one of the key points of Mengshi's technical route. The M ATS has 5 off-road driving modes and intelligent off-road AUTO mode, which can intelligently identify 9 typical off-road terrains and realize the collaborative control of 28 actuators in 4 domains: chassis, power, body and cockpit.
With intelligent functions such as far-infrared night vision system and transparent chassis, the Mengshi 917 can help drivers identify and grasp road conditions in extreme environments with low visibility such as fog and sand, so that even people who are new to off-road can quickly adapt to off-road and enjoy off-road.
The Oriental Eagle Eye UAV system carried by the Mengshi 917 can realize functions such as remote transportation, delivery and route survey and planning, and is a "multi-functional assistant" for off-road shooting, long-distance crossing and emergency rescue. The parking security system and reverse charging function can add safety and fun to outdoor picnic camping, bringing multiple upgrades to the off-road experience.
In addition, the safety and reliability of Mengshi's technical route have also been verified by many parties. Mengshi 917 has undergone cross-altitude, cross-regional, cross-climate, and all-working conditions of the vehicle reliability and durability verification, with a cumulative mileage of more than 6 million kilometers, and has passed 4 rounds of 1 million kilometers, and the national military off-road vehicle reliability and durability standard verification.
"Off-road new species" is not born out of thin air, but a disruptive innovation product under the gradual maturity of the value chain and industrial chain of intelligent new energy vehicles. The creation of a series of electric off-road product series, off-road ecology and vehicle service will also inject vitality and momentum into the value chain and industrial chain of intelligent new energy vehicles.
Not long ago, Mengshi and the founding version of the user together through Shangri-La, to complete the construction of the first "Four Seasons Road" user experience activities, next, Mengshi will continue to dig deep into user needs, deep cultivation of user service, off-road culture field, unremitting pursuit of value experience beyond expectations, to bring users "more than the mountains and seas, reading extraordinary, joy life" of the oriental off-road charm.
