In the world of automotive design, the aesthetic of a gasoline car seems to have been limited by the weight ratio and the front-engine. This is because the design of the oil truck needs to take into account the weight of the engine and the balance of the front of the vehicle, which poses a serious challenge to domestic technology. Trams, in contrast, are exempt from these restrictions. The shape of the battery can be adjusted as needed, giving designers more room to play.
Challenges and innovations: Difficulties in tuning under the limitations of domestic technology
Domestic automakers face technical limitations and tuning difficulties in dealing with the design challenges of gasoline vehicles. Due to the lack of relevant technology and experience, it became extremely difficult to adjust the vehicle's weight ratio and front-engine layout. This situation has made it difficult for many domestic oil vehicles to compete with international brands in terms of appearance in the past. For example, some domestic models appear bulky and lack a sense of fluidity in the front face design, which directly reflects the manufacturer's difficulties in adjusting the weight and engine layout.
The three major parts of the oil truck: the challenge of shape design and the cost pressure
In addition to the limitations of the counterweight ratio and the position of the engine, the design of the oil truck is also affected by the three major parts (engine, gearbox, and drive axle). These components occupy a large part of the vehicle's interior space, limiting the freedom of exterior design. In order to improve the appearance, manufacturers have to make significant design adjustments, which inevitably increase production costs, which are reflected in the price of the vehicle. For example, some high-end gasoline car brands are expensive due to their elaborate design, which partly reflects the cost impact of design adjustments.
The Difference Between State-Owned Enterprises and Private Enterprises: The Choice Between Change and Conservative
In the field of oil and tram manufacturing, there is a clear difference between state-owned and private enterprises. State-owned enterprises are relatively stable in the era of oil trucks and do not need to carry out large-scale technological changes and design innovations. In contrast, private companies are under greater pressure to compete in the market and must constantly improve and innovate to meet market demands. Therefore, in the age of trams, private companies are more motivated to change and innovate in order to survive and thrive.
Restrictions on the appearance of petrol cars and government support for trams
The design of the oil truck is limited by patents, which limits the flexibility and innovation space of the manufacturer in the design. In contrast, domestic tram manufacturers have received strong support from the government, which has given them more freedom to design and innovate through funding and policies. The impact of this government support is clear, with many domestic tram brands making impressive achievements in exterior design and technological innovation.
Fuel economy and range: two different design considerations
An important factor to consider in the design of a fuel truck is fuel efficiency. Due to rising oil prices, manufacturers must strive to improve the fuel efficiency of their vehicles, which limits their scope for exterior design. In contrast, the design of the tram is more focused on range. With the continuous advancement of battery technology, the range of electric cars is no longer an issue, allowing designers to focus more on the exterior design and not on the limitation of range.
To sum up, there are many differences in the design of petrol cars and trams. Gasoline cars are limited by counterweight ratios and front-engines, while trams are more free and flexible. With the continuous development of electric vehicle technology and the strengthening of government support, it is believed that the appearance design of electric vehicles will become more and more excellent and become the mainstream trend of future automobile design.
