gel batteries Manufacturing electrified vehicles in Wolfsburg.
[Illustration] the historical factory building has been built--Under construction--There were many cars in their 70 s. Commercial vehicle production and operation for one year. Today, with the electronicGolf and GTE, it's being built to be arguably the most-Advanced Volkswagen. The Volkswagen factory in Wolfsburg, Germany is said to be the only one in the world-The largest automobile manufacturer in the world. Given that it is located in an area of more than six square kilometers (we understand that within the gate of the complex you can actually get a transport ticket, if you are one of about 57,740 people working there, you don't want this to happen, not only because of the cost, but also because the ticket goes into your personnel file)The roof of the manufacturing hall covers an area of 1. 6 square kilometres (a spokesman for the public pointed out that this may cover the whole of Monaco, although it is worth noting that, while the Wolfsburg factory is located on the banks of the artificial waterway Mittellandkanal, Monaco is in the French Riviera, so we gave it to Monaco, which is probably legal. [Illustration] the Wolfsburg factory was built in 1939. Then the World War changed the nature of the buildings there. After the war, it became the home of the Beetle. The factory ended the production of the beetle in 1974. Wolfsburg produced 11,916,519 beetles during its operation. The beetle's successor was golf, which was put into production in Wolfsburg in 1976 (yes, the Beetle still exists, but golf is part of it --A successor made in the company's lineup ). In 2013, about 807,000 cars were produced in Wolfsburg, including golf, golf sports cars, Touan and touguan. Two more models are now also being built in Wolfsburg, with very modern models in a factory designated as a historical landmark in Germany: Golf GTE and e-Golf. [Illustration omitted] Yes, the "e" in both cases indicates "electric" and the first is the plugHybrid and a second fully electric vehicle. Dr. Harald Manzenrieder, head of e-commerceGolf production at the Wolfsburg factory points out that Volkswagen has had some experience producing electric cars for a while: "We didn't start production yesterday," he said, noting that as early as the 1970 s, they built an electric-poweredT2--Better known in the United StatesS. Mass minibus. But this is actually a research project. In 1989, Volkswagen launched an electric golf course in the German market-golf course. Substitute Golf; it had a 18. 5-Kw ac motor powered by 16 leadsgel batteries. Again, a low-Production vehicles. However, due to the EU's requirements for substantial cutssub. 2] emissions from Volkswagen Group-The entire organization, including Audi and Porsche. Efforts are being made seriously to produce electric vehicles with electric or electrified power trains. The Wolfsburg factory is the center of gravity of these activities, along with egolff and GTE. "When we started bringing emailsGolf into mass production "-Mass production began in March 2014--"One of the main concerns we have is the safety of workers," said Manzenrieder . ". Therefore, they have established a training program with three levels of certification, the most basic of which is the ability to assemble and process parts; The middle level is those that can be deactivated highVoltage System in vehicle (e-Golf or GTE); Top--Only seven of them are eligible--Who can work on a power vehicle? The aim is that these experts can not only make cars, but actually not only train others in Wolfsburg, but also those who work in ingolstadt or stouttgart. It is a center of competence. Manzenrieder said [illustration omitted] "Golf is golf" and explained that it could be a300-due to the MQB architecture that supports the vehicle-HP Golf R or e-Golf under line 3 in Wolfsburg, this line has more than 1,100 cars per day, in any case. "This is a conference --He commented. "We can build the electronics completely. But at this stage we have decided to use the bypass. "E-commerce in essenceIncluding electric motor (85-kW; German Volkswagen Kassel parts factory ). "The car was made with an electric motor as a rolling chassis," explains Manzenrieder . ". They dragged it to the bypass area where two workers were assigned to a car. They make front-end components and appliances and then put the car on the elevator so that the battery pack (27 modules are made of 264 lithium-ion cells; It can be installed in mass plantin Braunschweig) and the lower panel of the body can be added. Once the battery is installed and the vehicle is activated, e-Golfgoes goes back to the variants of gasoline and diesel engines. And GTE (60 workers have been trained to build hybrid variants ). "Workers pack their shopping carts so they know every bolt, every cable, every part," he said . " "This has led to the creation of real experts," he added"Golf courses produced with bypass systems are relatively small-About 22 cars per shift-Manzenrieder stressed that there are still some benefits to this --early stage. "Once caris is at the door of quality, we don't need to feedback to the big team, but directly to the workers", the change of the product can be solved in a timely manner. Most importantly, "it's still a training area. "We work with colleagues from other production sites and other group brands," he said . ". The plan is to take advantage of the learning of the whole team. Volkswagen GTI is a car that gives the word "hot hatch" meaning. "This car is characterized by 2. 8-Helicopter, TurboProduction of 210 horsepower and 258 pound jet engines10 horsepower and 51 lb torque feet-Ft is lighter than before-Generate the model. The weight of the car is 81 lbs. Lighter than it-Partly based on the fact that they used 28% high-Strength and heatForming steel, starting at 6%, they reuse custom rolled blanks for some parts, which in some cases have 11 zones of different thickness so that the strength is in the best positionYou can get the concept of basic power --to-The weight ratio is improved. [Illustration omitted] but replace the power system with another device combined with a1. 4-liter, direct-A 147 turbocharged engine is generated. 5 horsepower, a75kw motor, 6-Speed direct shift gearbox (DSG), a device that provides 201 hp of total system horsepower, you have a plugIn hybrid power, it can accelerate from 0 to 62 miles per hour at 7 miles. 6 seconds, but there's a whole31 miles of electric mileage (on the new European cycle NEDC), with a total mileage of 583 miles. And what's all-The car is important in Europe because of its emissions of 35g/km. The 1. Four TSI engines were designed for the application. For example, it is very light and weighs only 226. 6 lb. Because electricity is mainly about the potential of electricity operation (for example, someone has 15-mileone-way commute; as a default-Depending on the battery charging status and outdoor temperature-Car in "E-Mode "means electricity, so 31-mile all-Potential electricity, it can run without engine start they have done something like using a polymerization coating on the main bearing and connecting rod bearing and a hard coating on the piston ring, to promote the performance of the engine at startup. Integrate the exhaust manifold into the cylinder head to enable the engine to quickly obtain the best operating temperature; The design also allows the use of a singleThe scroll compressor in the turbocharger. [Illustration] Three-phase, 75-Kw permanent magnet synchronous motor (manufactured by Volkswagen, by the way) is installed on the input shaft between the two motorsThe mass flywheel for the off-clutch of the engine and transmission components; It was integrated in sixThe speed dual clutch transmission housing (there are actually three clutch, two for the transmission itself and the clutch off ). To integrate the engine into the gearbox, the internal combustion engine is moved 2. 3 in. To the left (see from the front ). GTE is characterized by liquidcooled lithium-Ion battery pack consisting of eight modules. The energy capacity of the battery is 8. 7kWh. by Gary S. Editor-in-chiefin-
