What is the concept car?

1. Introduction

concept car concept car (ConceptCar) general understanding of the concept car for the future use of the car, automotive designers to show people new, unique, advanced concept, reflects the human dream and the pursuit of advanced vehicles.

concept (including bicycles) are often only in creative, experimental stage, and perhaps never put into production. And mass-produced goods vehicles different, each a concept car can get rid of the shackles of the manufacturing process, enjoy exaggerated formations show their unique charm. With the progress of the times, the concept car has gone from high-tech, high power to low power consumption, environmental protection requirements, for example, advertised zero-consumption, zero emission concept car leaves.

Buick YJob automotive industry is recognized as the world’s first concept car, its director by the US General Motors radical art and color in 1938, the father of the American automobile styling – Hali Jie Earle (Harley Earl) invention.

2. Category

concept can be broadly divided into two categories

Vehicles possible types: relatively close to the production stage. Its advanced technology from scientific experiments and practical gradually, usually in about five years may become the official listing of new products.

can not travel vehicle types: relatively close to the research stage of development. Its ultra-advanced design, combined with imagination and high-tech in one, but due to environmental, scientific and technological level, cost factors and regulations and other restrictions, it only indicates that the research vision of the future.

3 features

concept car 1, automobile exhibition concept car more like a prototype vehicle is mainly used to display the new style of cars, technology and overall design.Because the concept car is the only car company designers to showcase new and unique and avant-garde ideas to the people only, it does not mean that it must be about to be mass-produced vehicles. Its importance in car shows where, for the exhibition of brilliant, visiting the popular usually has a pivotal position.

2, the latest concept car is the car of the era of scientific and technological achievements, represent the future direction of the car, so it shows a great role and significance can be enlightening learning from each other and promote learning.

3, because the concept car ahead of the concept, reflects the unique creativity and application of the latest scientific and technological achievements, so it’s a very high appreciation value.

4, the role of

the world’s major car companies are enormous amounts of money to develop the concept car, and unveiled at the International Motor Show, on the one hand to understand the concept car reflects the consumer to continue to improve ; on the other hand also to show our technological advances to the public, thereby enhancing their own image

5, to meet the maximum practical significance

human needs

[ 123]

concept car ergonomics is the early 1950s, rapidly developed a new discipline, which aims to study and solve the relationship between engineering design and human . The car body design ergonomics, it is to be human (driver, passenger) as the center, from the physical, psychological and body movement of the human body, the body design of the study, in terms of layout and equipment, how to adapt people need to create a manipulation convenient, safe, reliable, beautiful and comfortable driving environment and riding environment, a design that is best – vehicle – environment system. The concept car can satisfy people’s demand for a variety of vehicles.

the use of virtual product development technologies

a growing number of automotive design companies and manufacturing companies started using virtual productsThe development of technology, 3D three-dimensional virtual reality technology developed concept car. In the past for Automotive Research and Development Center to develop a new car or modifications, we are the first to shape the body with clay mock-ups, time-consuming modifications. Now vehicle research and development, especially the development of the concept car are increasingly seeking the shortest development time. If the introduction of virtual product development technologies, as long as the input data in the computer, to construct a model digital model in the laboratory, to a video showing a car ideal, as long as the engineers put the eyepiece, you can see a Seiji Chu, just like a real car in front, after you modify discuss design engineers can quickly design the ideal new car.

to the environment-friendly development trend

concept to improve energy efficiency, improve engine configuration, comprising an electronic control fuel injection system, secondary air injection, thermal reactor, exhaust gas recirculation systems, catalytic purification device, a crankcase ventilation system, the evaporative control system, a higher requirement. The use of green materials in the automobile manufacturing process, green packaging, green manufacturing processes and green devices and equipment is increasingly becoming an important standard concept car design.

6, China’s first concept car

concept car the ancient Chinese legend there is an auspicious animal, shaped like a deer, angular head, after have tails, all wearing scales, it will be ancient symbol of good fortune. In 1999, the Shanghai International Auto Show, unicorn auspicious animal in the name of the first concept car, this is the first car designed by the Chinese people, and for the Chinese manufacturing economy car market in China.

Kirin five hatchback concept car body frame characterized by very strong, simple shape, large tires, and high chassis (165 mm) so that it can adapt to the complex road conditions, 4-cylinder 16-valve engine means, front-wheel drive, five seats are placed inside the compartment front seat legroom up to 1 meter or more shoulder room, more than 1.3 m, 1.36 m3 luggage space can hold the goods.

concept car designed China’s first pan-Asian unicorn is a research center in Shanghai, Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center 160Most of the engineers involved in this project. Kirin design process is unique in its design is not first start from the design room, but from the customer needs. Pan Asia survey was conducted in Chongqing, Weihai, Dongguan, Anshan and other five cities of Baoding car users, but also brings together a variety of different groups of people all over the Chinese demand for cars. Based on these observations, Pan-Asian embarked on drawing design, computer-aided design, making clay models, the final completion of this concept car.
