A Chinese company that was just established this year, because it recently dug up four members of BMW's core research and development team, was reported by German and French media. According to the German "Focus" weekly report, the latest rising electric car startup company in China is called Future Mobility. It is currently unknown in China. It was officially registered on March 1 this year, specializing in the development of electric vehicles.
Future Mobility's R&D center is not only located in Shenzhen, but also in Taiwan and Munich. Another media report said that it also plans to establish a research and development center in Silicon Valley, but the production base will be placed in mainland China. Future Mobility is currently having difficulty searching for detailed information on the Internet, but now it is because of the big bang of the "horn" BMW.
The Germans were "stunned"
As early as March of this year, Future Mobility dug up the BMW i-series R&D chief engineer Carsten Breitfeld as CEO. On April 19th, the electric car company once again digs out three executives of the BMW i-Series R&D team: Dirk Abendroth, the former BMW i-Series motor system development engineer, will be responsible for the software and Vice President of Unicom; former BMW i series chief designer Benoit. Benoit Jacob will serve as vice president of design; former BMW i-Series product management manager Henrik Wenders will serve as vice president of marketing. The BMW i-series is the main force for BMW to enter new energy vehicles. Last year, sales increased by 66% year-on-year. Among them, BMW i3 and i8 sold 24,057 and 5,456 respectively. Although BMW believes that this sales volume indicates that the i-series model "has achieved great success." But still failed to stop the four core executives from leaving.
According to German media, this is equivalent to “a core R&D design team of BMW electric vehicles was bought by the Chinese sideâ€. The French Radio International website quoted the German "Focus" weekly report on April 22, saying that the German BMW Motors' core research and development team for electric vehicles was dug away by the Chinese pot, which made the Germans "stunned."
"Focus" magazine said that the piracy in China was criticized, but the Chinese have now embarked on a new path, which is to hire German top engineers and executives to buy their knowledge and skills in this way. For example, China’s Guanzhi brand hired three retired executives from the German auto industry. Although Guanzhi finally failed with the German brand, in the European safety test, Guanzhi was the best performer. The report also said that the Chinese not only hunt technicians in the German auto industry, but also in other German industries. For example, at the end of 2015, Bayer Group director (MarTIn König) Koenig voluntarily withdrew from the board of directors in order to accept the hire of Sinochem Group. Recently, at the Munich Construction Machinery Exhibition, many companies complained that the Chinese side was impressed by the full set of gifts with drivers, high-end housing and five-figure salary.
Behind Tencent and Foxconn
Future Mobility is a new company jointly invested by Tencent and Foxconn. On March 23 this year, Tencent CEO Ma Huateng, Foxconn Chairman Guo Taiming and Zhengzhou Harmony Automobile Chairman Feng Changge jointly signed the "Strategic Cooperation Framework Agreement on "Internet + Intelligent Electric Vehicles" in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, claiming to engage in "Internet in Zhengzhou". +Intelligent electric vehicle platform." According to the information released by Foxconn, "the three parties will form a joint professional work team, Tencent's insight into the Internet industry, leading Internet creative open platform; with Foxconn's innovative integrated design and manufacturing technology in high-tech mobile terminals and smart electric vehicles. , build, 'Internet + smart electric vehicle platform'. Harmony car has marketing and service experience, focusing on the future automotive market-oriented business model." According to Foxconn, they "do not build a complete vehicle, only a platform." “The field of cooperation with Tencent and Harmony is the intelligent in-vehicle equipment. It is the middle-control screen and owner-related services on the car. It may extend to the network smart car or the self-driving car platform in the future.â€
Nowadays, this kind of big-handed "dig" BMW's move has pushed Tencent and Foxconn to the stage. In fact, Guo Taiming has not stopped the layout of the new energy automobile industry chain. According to Reuters, Foxconn currently manufactures a small number of interior panels for Tesla foundry. Guo Taiming has been hoping to win Tesla's OEM production orders. However, Tesla has always insisted on the mode of self-production and sales. Guo Taiming can only hope that in the future, Tesla will have to find a joint venture partner when it is localized in China. As an old rival of BYD, Foxconn acquired Taiwan's Antai Electric 10 years ago to start the technology and manufacturing research and development of automotive Lithium Battery power systems.
In 2015, Foxconn found an important partner - BAIC. The two sides jointly invested in research and development, manufacturing a new generation of power batteries and electric systems. In addition, Foxconn also invested in a sub-time leasing company with Beiqi to promote the popularization of Beiqi electric vehicles. However, it is very likely that BAIC has already placed the future main electric vehicle on its own investment model. Therefore, most analysts believe that Foxconn and BAIC's cooperation is only to pay tuition, learn and accumulate knowledge of the automobile manufacturing industry. If you want to build a car, you must rely on yourself.
At the end of 2014, Foxconn suddenly announced that it will invest 600 million Hong Kong dollars in the car dealer Harmony. The headquarters of Harmony Motors and most of its dealerships are located in Henan, mainly selling luxury brand cars. Just 10 days after Foxconn's shareholding, Harmony Motors announced the purchase of Zhejiang Luye Automobile Co., Ltd., which earned the qualification for automobile manufacturing.
China's new energy vehicles dig everywhere
As new energy vehicles are seen as the best opportunity for Chinese brand cars to surpass foreign brands, more and more funds and cross-sector enterprises are pouring into this industry. From the traditional car companies, they are becoming mutual The tacit understanding is not just for the Germans. For example, LeTV, another cross-border car, has just released its unmanned electric car concept car. Le Yue, the founder of LeTV, burst into tears on the spot and said that he once again proved to the world that he is approaching the cow he once blew. Before the concept car debut, the most interesting event of the LeTV supercar was “Knocking up SAICâ€. In September 2015, Ding Lei, the former vice president of SAIC Group, became the co-founder of LeTV Auto and shocked the industry. In December 2015, Fu Zhenxing, the former chief engineer of electric vehicle R&D of SAIC Group, joined LeTV Supercar as vice president; in March 2016, before Zhang Hailiang, vice president of SAIC Group, also confirmed to join LeTV. Then, "The news of Zhang Hailiang's original department, the head of SAIC Volkswagen R&D, who led the R&D team of more than 2,000 people, will join the LeTV supercar," also spread.
