On June 2, the project Joint R&D and Application of Key Technologies for Electric Vehicle Aerodynamics, which is led by Tongji University and jointly undertaken by 10 Chinese and British organizations, such as China Automotive Research (Tianjin) Automotive Engineering Research Institute, China Automotive Engineering Research Institute Co. Ltd., Jilin University, Tsinghua University, Xi'an Jiaotong University, ANIP, BYD Automotive Industry Company Limited, IM Automotive and Durham University, was held at our university. The Review Meeting on the Implementation Plan of Joint R&D and Application of Aerodynamic Key Technologies for Electric Vehicles, which is a key project of the National Key R&D Program for Strategic Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation, was held in our university.
Prof. Zhou Quan, President of Shanghai University Qianwei Chang College, Hou Hangsheng, Technical Director of FAW Research Institute, Prof. Lai Chenguang, Vice Dean of Vehicle Engineering School of Chongqing University of Science and Technology, Tong Ronghui, Director of Vehicle Integration Center Driver Integration Department of SAIC Research and Development Institute, Wang Xunnian, Researcher of China Aerodynamic R&D Center, and Ye Jian, Chief Engineer of Shenzhen Shifeng Science and Technology Company Limited, as the guiding experts of the project, attended the meeting.
At the meeting, administer of the Research Management Department of the university said that this time Tongji University has joined hands with famous universities at home and abroad, independent brand electric vehicle enterprises and research institutes with qualifications of automobile testing, certification and standards and enterprises of Shanghai Science and Technology Innovation Platform (SSTIP), to research on the problems of significant mileage anxiety, prominent aerodynamic noise and obvious heat source dispersion of electric vehicles, and put forward the multi-targeted aerodynamic technology and the development of the three-in-one standardized model, which will support the development of the new-generation electric vehicle with ultra-low The development of a new generation of electric vehicles with ultra-low aerodynamic resistance, low aerodynamic noise, strong thermal management and high thermal comfort is pioneering and forward-looking, and we hope that the experts will give advice for the smooth progress of the project.
On behalf of the project team, Prof. Zhang Lijun, project leader and dean of the School of Automotive Engineering, introduced the overall situation of the project in terms of project background, research objectives, research content, technical route, task decomposition, project management, expected results, risk prevention and control. Dr. Wang Qingyang from China Automotive Engineering Research Institute Corporation, Associate Professor He Yinzhi from College of Automotive Engineering, Tongji University, Dr. Xu Xiang from China Automotive Research Institute (Tianjin) Automotive Engineering Research Institute Corporation, and Pang Jiabin, Director of Shanghai Ground Vehicle Wind Tunnel Center, Tongji University, introduced the implementation plan of Task I, Task II, Task III and Task IV respectively. Prof. D.B. Sims-Williams and Dr. Lian Gan from Durham University (UK) participated in the meeting via video link and introduced the Durham University wind tunnel and Durham University's research in the field of wheel aerodynamics.
The expert group listened to the detailed report on the implementation plan of the project and tasks and gave a high appraisal, considering that the technical route of the project and tasks is reasonable, the node planning is clear, the feasibility is strong, the assessment indexes are clear, the organization and management are standardized, and the schedule is reasonable, and agreed to pass the demonstration of the implementation plan of the project and put forward constructive comments on the foresight and advancement of the indexes, the analytical modeling of the experimental large-scale data, the project node controlling and coordinating, and the project organization and management mechanism. Constructive comments were also made on the forward-looking and advanced indicators, analysis and modeling of experimental big data, control and coordination of project nodes, project organization and management mechanism, etc.
