Recently, the contradiction between BYD and Great Wall has escalated again.
A car reviewer named "Yao Weiqiang" released a test of the BYD Formula Leopard Leopard 5**, and the results showed that the Leopard 5 consumed up to 18 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers at high speed, far exceeding the official announcement of 78 liters.
This matter caused the intervention of **.
BYD Formula Leopard officially said that after collecting relevant vehicle data, it was found that Yao had a large number of speeding and sudden braking behaviors, and was suspected of dangerous driving.
What is even more surprising is that there is a very close relationship between Yao and the Great Wall, he is the director of the Tank Desert Academy officially "certified" by the Great Wall, and has appeared in the official propaganda of the tank many times.
This adds more complexity to things.
Previously, there was a friendly relationship between BYD and Great Wall, but as time went on, the relationship between them gradually deteriorated.
The tearing between the two companies has made people doubt their brotherhood.
Great Wall and BYD: Who is the future of China's automobiles?
In May of this year, there was an uproar in the automotive industry.
Great Wall Motor publicly reported BYD's Qin, Song and other hot-selling models to the national regulatory authorities, accusing them of using low-cost normal temperature fuel tanks instead of higher-cost high-pressure fuel tanks, and suspected of failing to meet vehicle emission standards.
This report shocked the entire automobile circle, and the Great Wall sharply criticized BYD publicly, putting the former "brother" car company Wang Chuanfu on the fire.
BYD responded quickly, issuing a statement saying that its products meet national standards.
However, BYD did not show weakness, Wang Chuanfu returned the horse gun, and BYD's legal department decided to sue the car evaluation V "Dragon Pig - Jiche" and claimed 5 million yuan.
Great Wall immediately counterattacked, suing six car Vs on suspicion of serious infringement, demanding compensation of 2 million yuan to 5 million yuan respectively.
The confrontation between Great Wall and BYD is tense, and all kinds of accusations are intertwined, which makes people stunned.
In August, BYD's 500 new energy vehicles rolled off the assembly line, and Wang Chuanfu cried several times, shouting with emotion the slogan of "together, is the Chinese car".
However, Great Wall did not agree, and its executives responded, "It's better to fight first and then be together."
In November, Wei Jianjun of the Great Wall publicly exploded, accusing some car companies of having no bottom-line thinking and creating rhythm out of nothing all day long, which was very dirty.
BYD's Li Yunfei also responded angrily, saying that "one disgusting thing after another has been happening recently, constantly breaking through the lower limit and challenging people's limits."
Both BYD and Great Wall claim to be the little white rabbit, but who is the big bad wolf?
On the surface, the friction between Great Wall and BYD is just a battle of words, but in fact it is a struggle for interests and life and death.
In the wave of change of the times, the pattern of the automotive industry will usher in great changes.
Under the fierce competition and game, the infighting between car companies has reached the extreme.
The old fuel car company giant Great Wall, in the face of the emerging new energy car company BYD, the two sides are fiercely competing for the future life and death ticket, no one dares to be careless, no one dares to retreat.
Because once you retreat, you may never recover.
The pattern of the new energy market is still uncertain, and we are all waiting and seeing.
Who can have the last laugh in this competition and become the real hegemon of China's automotive industry?This question is fascinating and attracts the attention of countless people.
The story of Great Wall and BYD continues, let's wait and see the next scene between them.
