Ford completed the government order? Officially discontinued ventilator

According to foreign media reports, after delivering 50,000 ventilators to the US government, Ford officially stopped producing ventilators and let the Michigan factory focus on producing spare parts.

Ford spokesperson Rachel? Macleary said that Ford and General Electric Company (General? Electric? Co.) jointly produced ventilators to help fight the COVID-19 epidemic, and the last batch of ventilators was delivered on August 28th. However, the company said that it will continue to produce personal protective equipment and plans to provide 1 10 million masks to all school districts in the United States.

After the blockade of the epidemic was lifted, automobile manufacturers resumed work one after another. Ford Rosenville? The road factory has resumed the production of auto parts in May. The ventilator is produced in another area of the factory, which will not affect the production of automobile parts such as gearbox oil pump, battery pack and fuel pump. Ford said that by the end of the second quarter, the production capacity of the plant had recovered to 95% before the epidemic.

Ford and General Electric originally planned to complete the production of ventilators in mid-July, but they had to ask HHS to extend the production period to adapt to new suppliers who are increasing the output of parts. McCleery said in an e-mailed statement: "We have to buy about one-third of the parts from new suppliers to meet the increased production."

Tesla will set up a new game and UI team in Austin.

According to foreign media reports, Tesla's latest work information shows that the company will set up a new video game, software and user interface (UI) team in Austin.

At present, Tesla Texas Super Factory is under construction, and the company has released a number of job recruitment information related to this new factory.

These job information shows that Tesla will set up a brand-new software team in Austin to be responsible for the development of video games and UI.

Tesla co-founder founded battery material recycling company

According to foreign media reports, Tesla co-founder JB? Redwood, the startup company founded by Straubel? Materials have begun to appear, and recycling waste from Tesla's Gigafactory factory in Nevada has begun, although it has not cooperated with Tesla.

Straubel was one of Tesla's early founders and served as the company's chief technology officer until last summer. After that, Straubel worked as a consultant in Tesla. I believe this is only a symbolic position, in order to alleviate the blow caused by the continuous departure of Tesla technical executives.

In fact, a few months before Tesla announced the appointment of Straubel as a consultant, Straubel rarely appeared in Tesla, but spent more time on his startup Redwood? In terms of materials. At present, Redwood is developing a process of recycling battery materials to produce new batteries.

Straubel founded the company in Nevada, not far from Tesla's Gigafactory factory in Nevada. In addition, Straubel founded the company when he was working in Tesla and hired several employees from Tesla. People think this company has something to do with Tesla. However, this is obviously not the case.

MINI) sales are consistent with BMW's national sales average; The growth rate of Lexus, the second largest brand, is higher than the national sales growth rate of the brand, reaching 7.4%; The sales revenue of Rolls-Royce and Bentley new cars in ultra-luxury brands also increased at the same time, reaching 265,438+0% and 65,438+050% respectively.

Ford Motor Company and its partners explore parking service technology.

Recently, Ford Motor Company demonstrated the parking service technology together with Bosch, an auto parts supplier, and bedrock, a Detroit real estate developer. It is worth mentioning that this is also the first solution in the United States to realize the automatic parking service of vehicles in the garage by using the yard-side infrastructure.

The demonstration project is located in the bedrock of Kirktown block in Detroit? The first floor of the assembly parking lot will last until the end of September, and the owners of the garage will be able to experience the automatic parking service. Kirktown is located in the center of Detroit, including Michigan Central Railway Station acquired by Ford, Ford's North American autonomous driving, electrification and smart travel business work park, and some commercial and residential complexes.

"We are making unremitting efforts to expand the functions of Ford Co-Pilot360TM Zhixing Driver Assistance System to help consumers drive more easily and confidently. We firmly believe that parking service technology has great potential, "said Ken, chief technology officer of Ford Motor Company. Washington said, "The cooperation with Bosch and bedrock is in line with our vision for the future, including self-driving vehicles with lower on-board computing power and stronger environmental awareness, which will help optimize design and vehicle layout while reducing costs."

Automatic parking service solution can make garage owners use parking spaces more efficiently. This technology can make 20% more cars parked in the same parking area. This scheme can be like bedrock? Assembled garage can be realized by upgrading the old garage, or it can be directly integrated in the design stage of the new garage to maximize the use of space. In addition, this technology can not only realize the automatic parking service, but also realize the vehicle to go to the special functional area in the garage by itself, such as charging or washing the car.
