On January 31, JAC Refine RF8 was officially launched, and the new car was positioned as a "new Guochao intelligent electric hybrid MPV", which attracted great attention from the market.
The new model will be available in four configurations, with a price range of 1699-23.990,000 yuan. The model is based on the JAC Refine Muse co-creation intelligent electric architecture, the first MPV exclusive architecture of the Chinese brand. At the intelligent level, it adopts an integrated intelligent architecture of vehicle and cloud, and is equipped with industry-leading EEA 20 electrical architecture, which can achieve L2+ level intelligent assisted driving experience.
It is worth noting that the JAC Refine RF8 also launched the HarmonyOS version of the intelligent cockpit version, which is also the industry's first intelligent MPV developed based on Huawei's Harmony OS, equipped with 156-inch Huawei Smart Screen + HarmonyOS 40 system, which can realize the seamless flow of multiple terminals without dropping, and the human-computer interaction experience is smooth and time-free.
JAC Refine RF8 is also equipped with leading AR-HUD products to achieve a more immersive interactive experience.
This also means that Hanstone has become one of the few first-echelon first-tier companies in China to realize the mass production of AR-HUD front-loading vehicles.
The JAC Refine RF8 is equipped with an AR-HUD that is incorporatedHanstomA number of innovative technologies, advanced processes and design concepts. Strive for excellence at the hardware level, supported by professional optical structure design, carefully select high-specification materials, and show excellent performance; In terms of software, it is a strong alliance with Huawei, based onHuawei's new generation of HarmonyOS 40 systemCarry out development and upgrades to bring users a "far ahead" smart travel experience.
It is worth mentioning that the PGU of this product adopts 31-inch TFT-LCD optical machine, support super high definition 235-inch frameless fluoroscopic imaging; The contrast ratio is as high as 1700:1, the maximum brightness can reach more than 12000nits, and the visual effect is delicate and transparent, which can be clearly seen anytime and anywhere in all weather conditions, such as sunny days, nights, tunnels, snowy days, rain and fog days.
In the image processing part, a professional analysis model is used to simulate and analyze the whole vehicle for sunlight load and glare elimination, and AR images with a sense of distance and proximity are generated through AR algorithm processing to create a new immersive driving experience. It supports high-precision positioning, integrates advanced intelligent driving systems and scene AI, and provides immediate insight into important driving information such as navigation guidance, intelligent assistance, and vehicle status, so as to realize the interconnection and interaction between the vehicle, the road, and the environment, and ensure that safety is under control.
It is understood that Jiangqi Group has also been an important partner of Hanstone for many years. Now, on the basis of undertaking the original on-board multi-first-class projects, Hanstone has cooperated with JAC to upgrade and support AR-HUD for its advanced model JAC Refine RF8 MPV, which is undoubtedly a high recognition of Hanstone's technical solutions and products.
It is understood that Hansitong has been deeply involved in the field of HUD for many years, and its comprehensive strength is remarkable.
As early as 2017, it undertook the HUD project of European high-end brand models, and the products were sold to extremely cold and hot regions, and the product quality met the strict quality standards of the Russian National Automotive Research Institute and European OEMs; In terms of technology, Hanstong has the ability to fully develop its own PGU optical machine for the three mainstream technology lines of TFT, DLP and LCOS, and the product has realized the platform, the delivery cycle is short, and the LCOS optical machine has advantages in performance and supply guarantee. And around the HUD forward-looking technology research topics naked-eye 3D, holographic display, optical waveguide, etc., a comprehensive layout. In March 2023, the completion and operation of Hanstone's East China Intelligent Manufacturing Base provides strong support for intelligent manufacturing capabilities.
In the current increasingly fierce automotive competition market, AR-HUD, as an important carrier of human-vehicle interaction, has become a key deployment product for the intelligent upgrade of major brand models and the upgrade of user experience.
According to the data of the Gaogong Intelligent Vehicle Research Institute, from January to September this year, the Chinese market (excluding import and export) passenger cars were delivered with 149 W ar HUD as standard540,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 4586%。In 2023, the standard delivery of AR HUD front-loading equipment has the opportunity to exceed 200,000 units (including options), and it is expected that by 2025, the contribution of AR HUD (the total market share of AR HUD) will have the opportunity to exceed 30%.
With the opening of the AR-HUD market dividend window, a large number of local first-class manufacturers are also deploying AR HUD technology and products, and only a few first-class manufacturers have achieved mass production.
For example, local first-class companies with leading technical advantages, perfect and mature excellent product solutions, as well as mass production experience and stable supply capacity, will undoubtedly be the high-quality partners of major automobile brands in the automotive intelligent competition cycle.
From a market point of view, the new energy MPV market is becoming increasingly popular, and it has become another major subdivision of major independent brands to impact the high-end. There are already models on the market, such as the Denza D9, VOYAH Dreamer, Zeekrypton 009, Trumpchi E8 E9, Wei brand Gaoshan, Xpeng X9 and other models, and models such as the Ideal MEGA and Geely Yizhen's first MPV will also be released in 2024.
JAC Refine RF8 first ride Hongmeng 40 system, and with the blessing of Hanstone AR-HUD, it will further improve the user experience and the intelligent level of the whole vehicle, and make travel more intelligent, comfortable and safe, which will lead the medium and large plug-in hybrid MPV to usher in a new era of intelligence.
