BYD is BYD, Skyworth is Skyworth.
The source of this sentence is that Skyworth's new HT-i model is on the hot search because it is equipped with BYD DM-i architecture, originally Skyworth Automobile was originally a new energy enterprise with low attention and serious marginalization, which can be on the hot search, and the core is the existence of BYD DM-i.
But I still have that point of view, BYD, which has transformed into a supplier, is more in the service enterprise, then in the eyes of the enterprise, the core value is to have quality assurance of the products supplied.
Since BYD's supply of IGBT chips, Wang Chuanfu has been ready to build this company into a domestic first-tier supplier, not seeing BYD everywhere, but everywhere there is BYD's figure, chips, batteries and even today's power architecture.
This reminds me of Toyota, ZF, Mitsubishi and other companies of that year.
These companies once supplied a large number of parts to the industry and became a tier 1 supplier, but they were only responsible for the quality of the parts supplied, but they were not responsible for the product performance of the whole vehicle.
To put it simply, a Aisin 6AT gearbox on Toyota performs as silky as cVT, but on other models it is strange, not that Toyota has kept the best for itself, but Toyota has the supporting technology to make the vehicle have excellent reliability and product stability.
The same is true of BYD's DM-i, and the DM-i technical standards sold to other companies are also good, but do other companies have strong technical reserves to make DM-i play the most effective?
Skyworth is strictly a brand new company, and the endorsement of this company is the development of the TV business.
Then look at Skyworth Automobile's DM-i technology bundle, in fact, there are many points to consider, such as Skyworth in the design of body-in-white, safety structure, product control, whether in the real sense of deep consideration, optimization, comprehensive balance of DM-i technology required platform, space, self-weight distribution, etc.
What I want to say is that it may all be DM-i, but BYD's DM-i and Skyworth's DM-i may end up with two pictures.
In addition, buying Skyworth HT-i is not the same as buying BYD.
The reason is simpler, the core power structure is indeed very critical for the whole vehicle, but it does not mean that the value of the whole vehicle is equal to BYD, and the reason why BYD is hot at the moment is more due to a large number of technical precipitations, long-term brand operations and excellent dealer service system and product design itself.
Skyworth HT-i is essentially Skyworth, but equipped with DM-i, can not be so collapsed in endurance, fuel consumption and road experience, but in the vehicle quality control, after-sales service system, interior and exterior design, sense of science and technology and space performance or Skyworth itself design.
Back to the essence, you buy a car, not a simple DM-i architecture.
Many people have bought BYD before, and now they are more convinced that BYD is because of the green leaf foil of DM-i, but Skyworth HT-i currently has and only DM-i technical support.
Has it improved the sales and after-sales network, whether it has a senior and strong design and R & D team, how much R&D investment has been prepared, and how many years is Huang Hongsheng himself prepared to do in the automotive industry?
These are additional issues that require attention.
In the past 7 months, Skyworth Automobile has accumulated sales of more than 6,000 units, after many corporate name changes and product name changes, Skyworth EV6 has completed a phased report card, and the electric vehicle currently on sale may not be as competitive as imagined in its 150,000-240,000 electric market.
Because this price range also has Volkswagen, BYD, Xiaopeng, Weima and other enterprises directly competing with it, Skyworth's EV6 is very replaceable, which is the key to the difficulty of sales growth.
Therefore, for Skyworth, DM-i is only a small step in strategy, and if you want to do better, there is still a long way to make up for the shortcomings of brand, design, research and development, and channels.
