The Munich auto show has officially begun. To some extent, it has become the last point of decency in Europe. Today, let's take a brief inventory of 66 small spots in this auto show.

Summary 1. The Munich Motor Show is actually the Frankfurt Motor Show before, and this is the second time that the latter moved to Munich.

2. The German full name of the Munich Auto Show is Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung Mobility, that is, the German International Automobile and Wisdom Travel Expo. Munich and the car are not the most important points. In short, they can be done anywhere, and cars are only part of the smart travel of the future.

3. The specification of this year's Munich auto show is very grand, because not only the governor of Bayern and the mayor of Munich, but also German Chancellor Olaf Scholz decided to come to the scene and help each other.

4. Although it is the largest auto show in Europe, the exhibitors and scale have shrunk significantly than in the past, and this Munich auto show is more like a regional auto show.

5. According to the official website, there are a total of 675 exhibitors in this auto show. The first Munich Motor Show the year before last had 700 exhibitors. At the peak of the Frankfurt Motor Show, the number of exhibitors can easily exceed 1000.

6. Through the number of brands participating in this auto show, it can be made clear that the downward trend of global automakers is still very serious.

7. Although the number of car companies participating in the exhibition has greatly shrunk, it does not affect that the Munich auto show is more international and complicated than before. To some extent, the auto show has been transformed into a mobile travel show, with a significant increase in the number of exhibitors in many new areas and an all-time high of more than 100 startups.

8. No matter how bad it is, it is better than canceling the Geneva Motor Show for N years in a row.

The exhibition is divided into two parts, one at the Munich Exhibition Center, aimed at car companies and parts exhibitors, and the other in the center of Munich.

10. A ticket for an exhibition at the Munich Exhibition Center costs 179 euros, equivalent to 1400 yuan. It is also said to include transportation expenses and environmental protection support and construction costs. However, with this ticket, you can go to any high-end meetings and forums you want.

11. It is said that this is done in disguise to stop the famous local specialty, radical environmentalists, and then use epoxy resin to connect their hands to the exhibits.

12. the indoor booths in the exhibition center have all shrunk, and there is no longer the grand occasion of contracting out the entire pavilion at that time.

13. The exhibition in the city center is free of charge, and citizens and tourists can visit it as they like. As a result, Chinese automakers Xiaopeng and Avita chose to display in the city center.

14. The exhibition in the city center is like a carnival. In addition to having a car to watch and a show to watch, you can also borrow an exhibition car to drive around the city.

Although it is still the most important auto show in Europe and even in the world, there are still a large number of mainstream automakers who insist on being absent, and there is no sign of Toyota, Mazda, Nissan, Suzuki, Hyundai, Kia and other Japanese and Korean car companies.

16. Stellantis, the fourth largest automobile group in the world, has only launched the most transparent Opel, with Fiat, JEEP, Alfa Romeo, Peugeot and Citroen all gone.

17. A large number of European black flag aristocrats are not very powerful, and the number of luxury brands is better than nothing. Volvo, Jaguar, Land Rover, McLaren, Ferrari and so on all give support except for being present.

It is known that the famous European car companies participating in the exhibition are BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, Bentley and Renault. Germany did support half of the auto show.

19. Among them, Volkswagen Group should be the one who attaches the most importance to this exhibition. The core team of CEO Obermu, the 9-person group, even went to the head of Volkswagen's China business.

The other half of the wall is held up by Chinese car companies.

21. This time, a total of nine Chinese brands participated in the exhibition, namely, BYD, Avita, Zero, Cyrus, Mingjue, Xiaopeng and Dongfeng Liuqi, as well as Lutes and Polar, owned by Geely, which not only doubled the number of passenger cars in the last year, but also accounted for 1/3 of the passenger car quota in the entire auto show.

22. The United States sent Ford and Tesla. Surprisingly, GM still didn't come, but Tesla came, bringing the latest Model 3.

Europe and the United States show 23, the biggest focus of this auto show is undoubtedly the new BMW Vision Neue Klasse pure electric concept car. It introduces the sixth generation BMW eDrive electric drive technology and the brand-new NCAR (New Cluster Architecture) architecture.

24. But this German top-notch model with 800V electrical architecture and voice assistant will not be mass-produced until 2025. Does this mean that when the Vision Neue Klasse is in mass production, the technology that used to be a bright spot will continue to lag behind Chinese automakers?

25. The new electric MINI Cooper has also completed its global debut, entering a new stage of brand evolution-by 2027, the global ratio of MINI pure electric vehicles will reach 50%. In the early 1930s, MINI will be the first BMW brand to achieve pure electrification.

Together with the release, there is a new generation of MINI Countryman, which, like the BMW X1, is based on the BMW oil-to-electricity platform. Ah, this.

There is also a new i7 Protection (bulletproof version). The biggest selling point is the use of a large number of armored steel and armored glass material, belongs to the VR9 level of protection, and can even defend against drone attacks and grenade fragments. However, due to the weight reached 4900 kilograms, so the mileage has been greatly reduced, only 380km.

The 28, i7 Protection also has an 8L car refrigerator, but no more than the ideal L9.

29. Mercedes-Benz keeps a lower profile than BMW. It mainly shows the first CLA-class concept car based on MMA platform and equipped with MB.OS operating system. It can achieve a range of more than 750km under WLTP conditions and 100km power consumption as low as 12kWh.

The other is the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class, which has adjusted its appearance, interior and power. It is said that the new domestic long wheelbase E-class car is expected to go on sale in November this year.

31. Ford doesn't actually have a new car, and the Mach-E--, an electric horse designed to provide a test drive for the audience, looks more like a party.

32. Therefore, the face and face of American car dealers are basically supported by Tesla Model 3.

33. Volkswagen officially released the ID. GTI concept car, which means that the GTI series, which is regarded as a classic by countless fans, will officially enter the era of electric travel.

In addition, Volkswagen also released electric cars such as the ID.4 and ID.5, as well as the ninth generation of Passat and a new generation of Touguan.

However, with the advance of the electric transformation of Volkswagen Group, it should be the last generation of fuel versions of Passat and Tuguan.

36. Audi unveiled the Q6 e-tron, but this is not very important. The real highlight of the Volkswagen Group's high-end brand is Porsche, which demonstrates "direct air capture technology", or DAC, and is about to enter mass production. Is to extract carbon dioxide directly from the air and use it to produce eFuels synthetic fuel.

37. Bentley is undoubtedly a slip from the net in the super-luxury cars of this auto show, with a limited edition of 18 Mulliner Batur officially unveiled, equipped with the strongest W12 engine in Bentley history.

38. Mulliner Batur is also the last stubbornness of the fuel supercar, as the W12 engine will officially stop production in the first quarter of next year. In 2025, Bentley will launch its first all-electric model.

39. Renault showed off the new pure electric SUV landscape technology based on CMF-EV; Opel brought the Experimental pure electric concept car. These two brands should be used to make a point.

40. I feel that if many new cars enter China, they should be integrated with the warehouse to become inventory cars. Of course, in fact, many of them do not even like the mainland of Europe.

China car Show 41, by contrast, Chinese brands are better at aligning targets in the new market environment, laying out a comprehensive layout, focusing on European pain points, and playing a set of fine combination punches.

42. Yes, we are talking about BYD, which launched a full range of electric models and new technologies at the exhibition. Among them, the new cars in Europe are Seal U (Song Plus champion version) and Teng Teng D9. The momentum D9 is the first show in Europe. The new technologies are CTB battery body integration technology and iTAC BYD intelligent torque control system.

43. It is worth mentioning that the German price of BYD seals has been announced, which is 44900 euros (353000 yuan) and 50990 euros (400000 yuan) respectively, twice that of domestic seals.

44. BYD's European price is now comparable to that of BBA.

This time Avita 12 is the world's first show. It uses HUAWEI ADS 2.0 high-level intelligent driving assistance system, three lidars, motors provided by Huawei, and a 700km battery pack supporting high-voltage fast charging technology in Ningde era.

46. Zero has officially launched the first global product under the framework of LEAP 3.0, the global model C10.

47. As a common and typical entry-level electric vehicle in China, the ambition of zero running is visible to the naked eye-because European brands currently have almost no products in this field.

48. SAIC Mingjue brought the new all-electric roadster Cyberster, as well as the MG4 Electric XPower and MG Marvel R Electric Performance.

49. At present, SAIC, which is more niche in China, is more popular than BYD. In the first half of this year, Mingjue sold about 100000 vehicles in Europe.

50. however, the most convincing Chinese brand has to be Xiaopeng, who has brought Xiaopeng G9 and the new P7 to the citizens of Munich.

China Storm 51, Der Spiegel: "Competition from China: German automakers are facing difficult times."... "

52. Focus Magazine: "China's greed-how dangerous is the dominance of the far East to our future of the German automobile industry"

53. European Automotive News: "this Europe's most important auto show will provide people with an in-depth understanding of how established European automakers have successfully fended off growing threats from competitors such as China's BYD and American upstart Tesla."

54. It is still "European Automotive News": "Industry insiders regard BYD and SAIC's Mingjue as a major threat to European brands. Because BYD and Mingjue are gradually expanding into Europe by targeting key markets and building retail networks. Both companies are also considering opening factories in Europe."

55. "German Automobile Industry": "China's automobile industry is strongly supported by the national industrial policy." however, our production costs are increasingly out of line with international competitiveness, which are all difficulties. "

56. Peter Fintl, consultant of Capgemini Engineering Consulting Company: "the large-scale participation in the international auto show represents that China is attacking the central position of the European auto market, and local manufacturers should not underestimate this."

A storm is brewing in Munich, and established European automakers are facing great challenges. "

58. "China is rapidly transforming into an electric car superpower, even posing a threat to established carmakers in Europe."

59. "starting from 2018 and 2019, the world's five major auto shows will be more like regional auto shows. Japanese auto companies will put their important products and strategies at the Tokyo auto show, while German auto companies will put them at the IAA. On the contrary, the Beijing auto show and the Shanghai auto show, which were less popular than the five major auto shows in the past, are becoming more and more important."

60. Tang Weishi, CEO of Stellantis Group: "cheap Chinese electric cars will 'invade' Europe."

Other 61. At this Munich auto show, there will also be the 2023 World New Energy Automobile Congress, which will be held by the Chinese Society of Automotive Engineering, the International Organization of the World New Energy Automobile Congress and the German Automobile Industry Association. this is also the first time that the conference has been held outside China.

62. I feel that the relationship between the Munich auto show and China cannot be said to be inextricably linked, or at least dear to each other.

63. In China, in addition to car dealers, there are nearly 40 brands participating in the exhibition, such as Ningde Times, Yiwei LiNeng, Xin Wanda, China New Airlines, Ruipu Lanjun, Funeng Technology, Horizon, Yitong, Light Boat Zhihang, Liangdao Intelligence, Yuanrong Qixing, Gartland Microelectronics, Shang Tang Shadow, Longitudinal Technology and so on, covering many fields such as intelligence, electrification and parts.

64. By the way, along with Xiaopeng and Avita, there are many bicycles, electric bicycles, electric scooters and various peripheral exhibitors related to zero-emission travel.

65. A Chinese old man called Jiayuan Lingzu also took part in the Munich auto show. Its appearance is the result of an affair between JEEP and a golf cart.

Unfortunately, JEEP can't see it this time.
