Shinseong Lee Cheol-woo (3)
Toyo Motor’s session presenter, Satoshi Koshiro, came on stage.
I know roughly. A GTC-3 semi-medium model equipped with a hybrid engine GTC.
However, details related to it were not disclosed.
Things related to how much fuel economy comes out and how much output comes out.
-Hello, this is Satoshi Koshiro, vice president of Toyo Motors.
The Koshiro in question came up and said hello first.
‘Good job hiring a professional simultaneous interpreter.’
On the first day of the expo, team leader Seo directly translated, but in many ways it was inconvenient.
So, after that, I hired a professional simultaneous interpreter and continued to work with him.
“It’s finally starting.”
“Yes. Let’s listen. What the hell did you bring?”
After coming out, the team leader focused on Toyo Motor’s session presentation.
– we thought. How the future society should flow, and what technologies will be noticed in the future.
Koshiro spoke better than expected.
It was the content that penetrated the core of this expo. This expo is not just about technology. vision of the future.
In particular, there were many issues related to the environment, and a lot of focus was placed on them.
“Well, come to think of it, how is the development of hydrogen cars going in Hyunseong? Didn’t that also start because of the environment?”
“hahahaha… that’s probably going to tip over.”
“is it so?”
“Yes. There are various problems. Let’s talk about it later.”
“yes.”
Hyunseong also said he was making an eco-friendly car, so I knew he was researching an engine powered by hydrogen fuel.
-We, Toyo Motors, deserved to be number one in the industry, so we had to put a lot of thought into it. The vision we propose in the future will produce various results.
They were confidently saying that they were number one in the industry.
– As a result, we thought of two things. power and efficiency.
As he spoke, there was a buzz around him.
“Power and efficiency?”
“Hmm… I’m curious. Power and efficiency as a vision?”
“The key is power and efficiency, but more important than design and amenities are efficiency and power.”
“Let’s listen.”
– The root of a car is the engine. And that engine has to move the vehicle with great power. However, the engine so far has had a few minor problems.
It’s a minor matter… … .
– That’s just a drop in efficiency. Existing gasoline engines have a thermal efficiency of only 25% at most. And while the electric car recently announced by Elon Mansk is highly efficient, it has the disadvantage of low power.
I shot Elon Mansk to the extent that I wondered if I could do that.
‘Isn’t that polite?’
I thought so. I thought it was not polite to snip at the previous presenter.
Aside from that… … . I guess that might be the right thing to say.
From noble mtl dot com
Electric vehicles made by Elon Mansk are still low in output, and cannot be used for heavy equipment such as large trucks or construction equipment.
I don’t know what will happen in the future.
– So we pondered. How to make sure you have both power and efficiency.
After he said that, he approached the side of the stage where a tent had been set up to cover something.
-I’m revealing it here and now. We’ve perfected the hybrid-engined GTC, and it’s the GTC Model 3 with that engine!
The tent that was covered was splendidly pulled up.
‘That’s the complete GTC-3 with a hybrid engine.’
Hidden behind the awning was, as expected, the GTC Model 3.
“Ohhh…. Hybrid engine.”
“Is that the electric motor and the internal combustion engine driven together in harmony?”
“Have you already completed the vehicle model?”
“Wow, how much fuel economy is that? Now I understand! The meaning of power and efficiency.”
“what is that?”
“If it’s driven only by an electric motor, there’s no power. That weakness is compensated by an internal combustion engine. And if it’s driven only by an internal combustion engine, it’s inefficient, so it’s driven by an electric motor. That’s the core of a hybrid.”
“That’s why you explained it as strength and efficiency.”
“Not bad.”
The surroundings praised the GTC engine and vehicle that were unveiled.
-Future technology to be noticed. It’s a hybrid engine. First of all, as everyone knows, the electric motor runs when the internal combustion engine operates inefficiently, and the electric energy is charged when the internal combustion engine operates efficiently.
The principle of a hybrid engine is simpler than you think.
It moves electrically when starting, low speed, and downhill, which are areas where the engine’s efficiency is low. Especially when going downhill, it recharges electricity very efficiently.
On the contrary, the internal combustion engine is mainly used in the section where the engine efficiency is high, acceleration and uphill road.
Since only the sections with high efficiency are used, the efficiency is improved and the fuel economy is improved.
– We will reveal detailed specifications. First of all, the maximum output of our GTC engine is 150PS, the maximum torque is 25kgf.m, and it is equipped with a 152 mana internal combustion engine, and the motor … … .
He gave details of the engine and motor.
“Um, that’s just a normal midsize car. 1800cc class?”
“Right. But something important hasn’t been announced yet. Gas mileage.”
“Yes, how monstrous fuel economy will it be?”
“What is the average fuel economy of 1800cc kids these days?”
“Um…. The certified fuel efficiency is about 12 to 13.”
“I see. I’m looking forward to it.”
-And there’s something more important than anything else. efficiency. The official fuel economy of our GTC-3 is amazing!
He paused for a moment and said.
It’s -21! With just one liter of petrol, you can travel 21 kilometers. Our hybrid engines are more than twice as efficient.
21km/ℓ.
Apparently, I knew about 18 per liter before. However, what they are announcing now is 21, an increase of 3.
That’s a huge number.
It’s a little less than twice, but it’s pretty close to that.
If someone had to put in 50,000 won worth of gas a week for commuting, if you ride that GTC-3 model, it would cost about 250,000 won, which is almost half.
In terms of one year, it was possible to use 2.6 million won for oil with 1.3 million won.
13 million won in 10 years. It was almost the price of a compact car.
Of course, if gas prices increase in the future or if you ride more vehicles, you could save more.
“Wow. 21?”
“21? Is that a possible number?”
“Isn’t that great?”
“crazy.”
“Is this why you’re doing it too? It’s like the number one in the industry.”
People were admiring the gas mileage.
“No, no matter how much you mean 21? Isn’t that a lie?”
“I’ll even test it similarly to other places.”
As the people around him said, Koshiro, who was making the announcement, got into the GTC-3 and started the engine. And I put four wheels on a test device that can do various inspections of the vehicle next to it while driving.
I meant to show it myself.
-I’ll show you. How much fuel economy comes out!
He said confidently and started stepping on the accelerator.
The instrument panel of the GTC-3 model is displayed on the screen behind the stage.
10km/l.
14km/ℓ.
17km/ℓ.
19km/ℓ.
21km/ℓ.
27km/ℓ.
29km/ℓ.
30km/l.
23km/ℓ.
21km/ℓ.
It started at 10, went up to 30, and stayed at 21.
“Wow, really 21? How the f*ck can that be?”
“…… If you are a person who rides a lot, you will definitely buy one with a hybrid engine. Especially in a city or country with many slopes.”
“The United Nations will also show interest.”
“United Nations?”
“Uh, with that level of fuel efficiency, there’s definitely less smoke coming out. These days, the United Nations is having such a headache because of global warming. Even if it can’t make it up to international standards, it can make some recommendations based on the Paris Agreement.”
“What is that? The Paris Agreement?”
“Don’t you know? It is an agreement that was unanimously adopted by 195 countries at the 23rd Conference of the Parties on Climate Change to reduce carbon emissions. According to that agreement, each country will have no choice but to use hybrid engines. Or develop their own. Of course, Even if it is, it will be a subsidy.”
“…… Ah, that’s right. That’s how the world goes.”
When people are chatting about things.
The GTC-3 test is over.
-The GTC-3 model will be officially available in June, three months later.
Are you saying it’s already planned for commercialization?
This was a bit surprising.
I had to admit how difficult it was to commercialize it, but I had to admit that I did it.
“Wow, what a great technology Toyo Motors have. I can’t believe they already have plans for commercialization.”
“I’m going to buy that when it comes out.”
“me too.”
The atmosphere around was nice.
-Above, I am Satoshi Koshiro, vice president of Toyo Motors. thank you
And Koshiro exited cleanly.
The Tokyo Dome was filled with loud cheers and applause.
‘Even if he seems like an idiot, does that mean he’s good at his job?’
The presentation was flawless.
“How is it? Mr. Cheol-woo. Toyo Motor.”
After the presentation, the team leader asked as people left.
“It definitely has potential. It’s amazing. Higher-than-expected fuel economy, even commercialization. The design wasn’t quite as flashy as the Outy, but it’s enough to be chosen by the public.”
“Yes. It certainly seems to be the number one in the industry. It presented the future vision properly and captured people’s hearts.”
“Can I do well tomorrow?”
After hearing the announcement of Toyo Motors today, I began to worry.
It wasn’t a technical problem.
It was also a question of whether I could make a presentation with such confidence. It was a global stage, not to stand in front of the public, and not even to present a school report.
It was embarrassing to be in a position like that.
“hahahaha, be confident. Our ITE-X engine and X-380 are the best in the world.”
Strongest.
yes let’s believe me, my skills.
* * *
The next day, we were finally preparing for the announcement of our Hyeonseong.
Backstage, while I was adjusting my clothes and looking in the mirror to see if I was lacking something, someone tapped me.
“Mr. Cheol-woo, are you nervous?”
“Yes. When I heard that I had to go out on stage and present, I was extremely nervous and burdened.”
“Be nervous, but don’t be pressured.”
Be nervous, but don’t be stressed… … .
“why?”
“A moderate amount of tension is fine. Instead, you shouldn’t have it. You don’t have to.”
“If I mess up my presentation, it could damage Hyeonseong.”
“No. To be a little more honest, people will applaud you even if you poop during your presentation.”
“What do you mean? Pooping?”
“Um… that means you’ll be welcome to actually pull your pants down and poop.”
What kind of sh*t is that?
“I don’t understand.”
“ITE-X engine. It’s… it’s a revolutionary thing that will transcend this era. No matter how bad the teacher is at presenting, people will be enthusiastic about it. Whether or not you’re good at presenting is a subdimensional issue.”
The ITE-X engine with its circular stroke was certainly subjectively and objectively revolutionary.
Revolution, not innovation.
it is impossible to deal with
“Yes. I understand. I will not burden you.”
Burden is an emotion that arises when you have something to be responsible for.
This announcement was already destined to be a success.
because… … .
As Team Leader Seo said, the ITE-X engine is bound to be revolutionary.
“Go back with confidence. Mr. Lee Cheol-woo.”
“Thank you. It’s about time. Let’s go up.”
went up on stage
