Chapter 3160

Su Xinghui casually mentioned some technologies that would become popular in the next decade or so. These technologies would be applied in the automobile manufacturing industry in the following years and would become increasingly popular, such as CVT continuously variable transmission technology, oil-electric hybrid power technology, car computers, and so on.

Pearson and Samuel had naturally heard of these technologies, but they did not attach importance to them at the time, which was also related to the conservative style of the Ernest company. The application of these new technologies did not conform to the conservative style of the Ernest company.

Even the former chairman of the company, Mr. Presti, believed that if these new technologies were adopted, the original style of Ernest cars would be lost, and they would no longer be Ernest cars.

Such extreme thinking caused the Ernest company to lose several opportunities to take off and become increasingly declining in conservatism.

Pearson and Samuel had already tasted the bitterness and learned the lesson. Now Su Xinghui's words gave them great inspiration. They naturally wrote down everything Su Xinghui said. Hou Wenhai was even more solemn. He decided that the company would increase its R&D efforts in these new technologies in the future.

Su Xinghui took out a pen and paper again and drew some models on the paper. These models were models that would be popular in the next decade or so. Some innovatively designed models were very beautiful, much more beautiful than the conservative models of Ernest cars now.

Of course, these innovative models also did not conform to the conservative style of the original Ernest company. Therefore, the Ernest company had never adopted them. But Su Xinghui knew that these innovative models would be very popular among young people in the next decade or so, and young people would be the main force of automobile consumption in the future.

Speaking of this, Su Xinghui said, "Besides business cars and family sedans, I think the Ernest company should also focus on developing a model in the future, and that is the SUV."

The full name of SUV is Sport

Utility

Vehicle, which is also a sports multi-purpose vehicle. Later, it had another name in China, which is city off-road vehicle.

This kind of car became popular for a time in the vast urban and rural areas of China in the next decade or so. It can be said that among the cars running on the road, almost four or five out of ten were SUVs, and in some places, the proportion would be even higher.

Why did this kind of car become popular? This is because this kind of car has a relatively high chassis, so it can pass through some roads with poor conditions very easily. Moreover, this kind of car is relatively tall and big, looking very grand. When the driver drives, the field of vision is also relatively good, and the capacity is also relatively large. In short, this kind of car is very consistent with the aesthetics and needs of Chinese people.

In China, there are too many washboard roads. Some sedans with low chassis are easily trapped on the road or simply cannot pass. At this time, the advantage of owning an SUV is reflected.
