Looking back on the growth road of Toyota RAV4

  From a concept car pieced together with accessories of other models to an urban leisure SUV that is popular all over the world, RAV4 has created a new history of four-wheel drive, which not only makes the bold idea of "urban leisure SUV" become the development trend of small and medium-sized displacement SUVs at present, but what is more commendable is that it is still the leader in this field after more than ten years of fierce market competition. Therefore, it doesn’t matter whether it was born with Toyota’s unique eye or by mistake. What is important is that it has written a wonderful stroke in the history of automobile development for more than 100 years. Now, let’s go back to 1989, trace its 16-year legendary experience along the growth footprint of RAV4, and expect the upcoming domestic RAV4 to continue its unbeaten legend.




The earliest RAV4

  The first generation RAV 4 (1994-October 2000)



  After Toyota introduced RAV4 in 1994, the history of the 4×4 vehicle market changed. From the briefing in 1986, we got a glimpse of its "shocking" predecessor. By the time the concept model appeared at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1989, this 4×4 off-road vehicle, which later became the trend benchmark, had gone through a long "gestation period". After a thorough makeover, the concept car of RAV4 appeared at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1993. Finally, at the Geneva Motor Show in 1994, the official production version of RAV4 was finally born. It’s worth the long wait.


  Toyota began to sell two versions of RAV4 in Japan in May 1994 (in Britain in June) and soon the sales became very strong. I thought I could sell about 4,500 cars a month, but I received an order for 8,000 cars in the first month, and soon the output doubled.


  RAV4 is equipped with a 2.0-liter 16-valve four-cylinder engine, which was previously used on the second generation CaMry/Carina (Camry/Carina), and can be equipped with a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic transmission. It is equipped with full-time four-wheel drive system and optional central locking differential.


  RAV4′ s compact body, its four-wheel drive, wide track and short front and rear suspension make it have excellent handling performance in any road and weather conditions. All RAV4′ s are designed with safety equipment, which makes them more classified as passenger cars than trucks. Standard safety equipment includes driver’s side airbag, adjustable three-point seat belt and devices to strengthen side collision protection.


  By combining the elements of traditional passenger cars with the characteristics of light off-road vehicles, Toyota called RAV4 a "new concept" SUV. With this RAV4, Toyota and its customers have been able to enter the attractive emerging market of sport utility vehicles.


  In March 1995, the new four-door model was put on the market. The four-door version is 16 inches longer than the two-door version and can take five people. The front seat belt pretensioner was also introduced into the market with the release of the four-door version, and the RAV4 two-door version was also equipped with the system in September 1995.


  RAV4 made its debut in the United States in January 1996, and Toyota also made great improvements to all RAV4 models, including: front double airbags became standard; A high-position rear brake light is introduced; The 2.0-liter 16-valve engine has also been recalibrated to make its emissions cleaner, with less noise and greater torque. Two-wheel drive models were also introduced to the market in 1996, but only front-wheel drive.


  In 1997, RAV4 only made some minor modifications on the original basis of this "revolutionary" product, including changing the seat cover of the two-door model, providing an electric sunroof as an option on the four-door model, and also marking a digital clock and a large front speaker on the electric window model.


  In 1998, RAV4 underwent several major changes. External changes include a new grille, front bumper fascia, multi-reflector headlights and crystal diamond taillights. Internal changes include: newly added digital odometer, double cup holder, three-spoke steering wheel and sound system, and also changed the door panel. The engine power has increased by 7 horsepower. The seat cloth on the four-door model has also been changed. Two soft-top versions of RAV4 were introduced to the market in mid-1998. Based on the two-door version of RAV4, it combines the front hard top with the rear movable soft top.


  In 1999, Toyota provided a perforated leather interior with sports flavor as an option on its RAV4 special edition model, which once again set a good technical standard for small sports utility vehicles. Since that year, the side panels, rearview mirrors and door handles of the same color have been standard on the RAV4 special edition. In addition, three new special edition colors (pearl white, metallic silver and elegant black) have been added as optional.


  In 2000, two soft-top models and two hard-top models were discontinued.


  The second generation RAV 4 (October 2000-September 2005)



  In October 2000, after a thorough redesign, the second generation RAV4 appeared. It is a compact SUV with larger space, stronger off-road performance and wider use. The whole body length, width, height and wheel track of RAV4 have been increased by about one inch or more, respectively, in order to make the interior and exterior space bigger. The shape of the vehicle has been newly designed, which is more aerodynamic and more aggressive. Its power comes from a brand-new 2.0-liter four-cylinder 16-valve DOHC engine, all aluminum, lighter in weight and with intelligent variable valve timing function (VVT-i). With the help of VVT-i function, the vehicle can output 148 horsepower at 6000rpm and 142 fthttps://info.xcar.com.cn/200904/lb. torque at 4000rpm. The second generation RAV4 has been proved to be a low emission vehicle (LEV).


  In September 2001, the British version of the four-wheel drive model added a D-4D diesel engine.



  The 2002 model comes standard with gray painted bumper, scratch strip on the side of the car body and a new spare tire cover. The four-wheel drive version can also be equipped with an externally expanded wheel arch. The basic body color still follows the previous year’s style, but a cool pearl white is added. The "L" model is equipped with a bumper with the same color as the body and a scratch strip on the side of the body. The four-wheel drive version can be equipped with a flared wheel arch.

  Name: AC352

  Place of origin: AVIC

  Model: 7-ton medium-sized multi-purpose helicopter

  First flight time: December 20, 2016

  What are the characteristics of AC352?

  Wide fuselage and large space

  The maximum take-off weight of AC352 is 7 tons. It adopts conventional aerodynamic layout, with double engines, wide fuselage, retractable wheeled landing gear at the first three points, and conventional layout design of single rotor with tail rotor. The cabin space can meet the needs of carrying 14 to 16 passengers.

  On December 20, 2016, the AC352 helicopter made its first flight.

  What are the high technologies of AC352?

  Spherical flexible main hub with 5 rotors

  Rotor is one of the most complicated technologies in a helicopter. As an iconic part of a helicopter, rotor plays a decisive role in the altitude, speed and distance of a helicopter in flight. During the Ninth Five-Year Plan period, China has conquered the world’s advanced spherical flexible hub technology. This third-generation rotor system developed by China for the first time has been applied to newly developed multi-type civil helicopters in recent years, showing superior performance.

  Engine inlet net cover

 

  Due to the take-off and landing characteristics of helicopter, the rotor will produce a strong downward airflow, which will blow dust and debris or even stones on the ground. Once these debris are absorbed by the engine of the helicopter, it will affect the service life and cause engine damage. Therefore, the front end of the intake port of helicopter engine usually has a metal mesh shield filter device.

  Engine tail nozzle

 

  According to the working characteristics of turboshaft engine, the general exhaust device is cylindrical diffusion, so that the gas can fully expand in the free turbine and be converted into shaft power as much as possible. The exhaust device of modern turboshaft engine can achieve more than 95% conversion of gas power.

  Airspeed sensor

 

  A tubular device with an opening on the nose facing the front of the aircraft, which is connected with a pressure measuring device in the cockpit and used to measure the flight speed of the aircraft.

  winch

 

  The winch installed in helicopter is usually an optional equipment for helicopter, which is powered by hydraulic pressure and power supply and lifts the effective load by winding steel cables or cables. The electric winch can be used to rescue people, lift and transport light goods, and lift people from high altitude for aerial work when the helicopter is hovering.

  Helicopter fuel filler

 

  The AC352 uses JET A1 or JP4 fuel.

  AC352 tail rotor

 

  Helicopter tail rotor is used to balance the reaction torque and steer the helicopter. The rotating tail rotor is equivalent to a vertical stabilizer, which can stabilize the helicopter heading.

  Avionics system

  The AC352 adopts brand-new avionics system, 4-axis dual redundancy flight control system and advanced warning system with key system warning, fault identification and maintenance built-in test functions, which can reduce the workload of drivers.

  What is the significance of the first flight of AC352?

  AC352 is a successful practice of China helicopter industry under the guidance of the principle of "independent development and active international cooperation". Its appearance fills the gap in the 7-ton pedigree of China civil helicopters and makes the product pedigree of AVIC helicopters more complete.

Is the intelligent driver assistance system of Deep Blue sl03 easy to use?

The intelligent driver assistance system of Deep Blue SL03 is very easy to use.

It comes standard with an intelligent assisted driving system reaching L2 level, with as many as 15 sensing components, which can realize 360-degree omni-directional monitoring.

It has many functions, such as integrated adaptive IACC, TSR speed limit recognition, BSD blind spot monitoring, LCA lane change assistance and so on, which can reduce the burden on drivers and improve active safety.

In actual use, the operation is not complicated, and it can be activated by dialing the gear twice in a row, and the distance and speed of following the car can be adjusted by the left button of the steering wheel.

It can automatically correct the direction when driving, and can also slow down or stop when the current car slows down or stops, which is useful in high-speed and urban traffic jams.

The active safety system will play a role in an emergency, and it will also give a warning when changing lanes, reversing cars and opening doors.

In the future, it will also support the subscription and installation of more advanced NID3.0 pilot intelligent driving assistance system and APA7.0 remote parking service system, and add more sensing components to the hardware, which has higher recognition accuracy and perception ability.

NID3.0 can realize full-speed adaptive endurance, lane keeping, intelligent lane changing assistance and other functions, while APA7.0 can realize remote parking, remote car moving, memory parking and so on.

In the World Intelligent Driving Challenge, Deep Blue SL03 won the title of "Intelligent Driving Mass Production Competition", which is enough to prove its outstanding mass-production intelligent driving technical strength.

For example, in the intelligent driving assistance of high-speed navigation, the success rate of shunting and merging on the ramp reaches 98%, and 97% of congestion can be avoided under the cruising condition in urban areas, with the minimum following and stopping distance of 2 meters.

But also can identify the danger in weak light or dark environment, and effectively prevent the blind area of the transverse ghost probe at the intersection or in front.

Its perceptual recognition technology based on AI visual recognition and multi-model parallel probability fusion enhances the accuracy of target ranging under high dynamics, and the decision-making model based on multi-target interactive prediction greatly increases the traffic efficiency.

At the same time, the cloud-tube-vehicle trinity high safety guarantee system of Deep Blue Automobile effectively guarantees the safety of the intelligent assisted driving system.

In terms of parking, there are 13 kinds of parking assistance methods, and the parking completion rate is over 97%. In details, it is very powerful to automatically get away from obstacles to facilitate getting on and off, to recognize the state of the ground lock in the parking space, and to refer to the posture of adjacent vehicles when the parking space line is unclear.

Generally speaking, the intelligent driver assistance system of Deep Blue SL03 performs well, but the driver can’t completely rely on the intelligent system. After all, the safety mainly depends on his own control.

Interview | Enter Berlin Film Festival! What makes Zhou Dongyu and Bo Huang’s new works?


Special feature of 1905 film network The 73rd Berlin International Film Festival officially came to an end, and the French documentary film "Perseverance" won the Golden Bear Award, which recorded the stories of patients and artists in a day care center for adults with mental disorders.


The French director won the best director, while the 8-year-old actress Sophia otero won the best leading role award, becoming the youngest "queen" in the history of Berlin International Film Festival.



The director’s "Light of the White Tower" and the director’s two China films, which were also short-listed in the main competition unit of Berlin International Film Festival, won a good reputation overseas, but ultimately regretted not being able to "catch the bear".



Among them, after six years, Liu Jian was once again shortlisted for the animated film "Art College". This film invited actors including,, and Papi sauce to voice it, and at the same time, there were directors such as,, and so on who jointly voiced it, which brought great attention to the film.



After the world premiere of the film in Berlin, director Liu Jian accepted an exclusive interview with 1905 Film Network to interpret the creative story behind the film.


Better production team and higher creative requirements.


From the quality of Art Academy, it is not difficult to see that Liu Jian’s creative conditions have obviously improved since "Great World" was shortlisted for the "Gold-plated" Berlin Film Festival.


The volume of the film has increased. The length of 118 minutes and more complicated screen characters mean higher production budget. The dubbing cass of this film gathers celebrities from various cultural fields, such as Zhou Dongyu, Jia Zhangke, Bi Gan and so on, which shows the attraction of "Berlin director".


The film’s split mirror and color matching are all in by going up one flight of stairs, which is far from being comparable to "Big World", where there are frame jumps in the film and the background music is hastily shown in the competition before it is finished.



Liu Jian also felt that the last trip to Berlin really improved his investment and help from inside and outside the industry. The creation of "Great World" depends on his own hard work for many years before he managed to have a movie. However, in the period of Art Academy, he had his own animation team, which attracted many high flyers who graduated from animation major, with dozens of personnel.


So at the beginning of the project, he felt that "Art Academy" could be completed within three years. There are also frequent messages in the industry, and director Liu Jian’s new work has to participate in the A-class film festival, but it keeps everyone waiting for nothing every year.



In the interview, Liu Jian said with regret that better creative conditions have also raised his requirements for creation. The work originally planned for three years still took six years. He is very grateful to the Berlin Film Festival for its patience. At the same time, the larger team and more complicated project plan also bring more difficulties to the production of the film.


"In fact, the team has team difficulties. I draw" Big World "by myself. One person can control very good styles, including scenes and character relationships, which can be controlled by one person. However, the team needs to be connected. First of all, the style must be unified. Everyone’s animation feels different and different. With one more line, the feeling of this line is different. " Liu Jian lavishly spent half a year, dedicated to the team members and his own painting style.



In the play, he and his screenwriter partner Lin Shan Ye asked for perfection.A total of 16 drafts have been revised before and after the script of Art College, and every dialogue of each character has been polished constantly. Liu Jian demanded that "there is no nonsense" and every paragraph should be "interesting" and should be echoed before and after.


He said that the more linear narrative of "Art Academy" has disadvantages compared with "The Great World", so he hopes that the script can achieve the ultimate in a limited space. Instead of relying on dramatic design such as inversion, we can attract the audience by relying solely on dialogue, make the characters plump and textured, and reproduce a "temperature" 1990s. "So we kept changing and changing until the day before dubbing."


Recreate the youth age and talk to contemporary youth.


It is not difficult to imagine that Liu Jian, who was born as a painter, told a story that happened to a young student of the Art Institute in the 1990s, and it must be quite autobiographical.


In the interview, director Liu Jian did not deny this. Zhang Xiaojun, Rabbit and Skinny Horse, which are lively and have strong personalities, are all based on the real people in his life. A lot of space in the film describes the students’ feelings about art and creation in campus life.



Liu Jian said with a smile that the young people of our time were like this. Opening their mouths and closing their mouths were the names of all kinds of great artists, and they brainstormed with different artistic theories every day. However, he also stressed that it is really necessary to alert himself when creating. After all, Art Academy is not an autobiography, and he even asked himself to break away from the pattern of autobiographical films.


On the one hand, he thinks that there are many problems in autobiographical films, and it is easy for creators to make some narcissistic mistakes and put many things that are very important to themselves but have no feelings for the audience on the screen without restraint. He believes that all the details he emphasized and the repeated plots in Art Academy are required and necessary by the script, and they have a strong real texture.



Even so, it is still not an easy task for contemporary audiences to walk into the cinema and watch a group of young people paint for two hours in the form of debate, find the balance between money and art, and explore the necessity of art for life — — Even in Berlin, where a billboard can hit ten artists when it falls.


The audience of the film festival eagerly discussed the Academy of Art and the 1990s that people all over the world miss, but it was exactly the opposite of what Director Liu Jian hoped. In his communication with reporters, he emphasized that "Art Academy" is definitely not a nostalgic film.



He filmed his own growing experience because he contrasted contemporary college students and inspired their ideas.


Being a teacher in colleges and universities, Liu Jian usually has many opportunities to get along with young people. He has been thinking about whether the problems faced by young people now can be explained, digested and dealt with by art, just like they were then. Maybe there are other ways. Perhaps "Art Academy" describes the cultural splendor in the 1990s with great colors, which means "Renaissance", trying to bring art back to the dialogue of contemporary young people, and even return to the core position of the dialogue.



When the reporter asked if Liu Jian had communicated with the young audience, the director used the young people in his team as an example: in the creative process, intergenerational differences and cultural differences really made young co-creators have many questions. Liu Jian’s coping style is to tell his own story, bring young people back to the context of that year, and let them experience — — Just like what Art College did.



Liu Jian said with deep affection that the specific year of 1994 was chosen because it was an era when art broke out, and there were too many excellent works in movies, art and music. Shooting such a film is also a tribute to the artists of that year.


Finally, Liu Jian’s young friends expressed their approval — — Yes, when I heard the ending song "Let me scatter some wild things in this snow" by Cui Jian, who is not surging with emotion and who can resist?


starJoin the platform, no audition, hit it off.


As mentioned above, director Liu Jian presented a dreamy dubbing card to the audience in Art College.


Liu Jian said with a smile in the interview that there is really no role tailored for anyone, and everyone is looking for a voice according to the role. He didn’t start acting as a voice actor until the second half of his creation. At the beginning, he discussed with the producers. Both of them agreed with the idea of finding people from different industries to voice and show the different temperament of artists.



At first, Liu Jian listed several options for each role, and then listened to the voices of these people repeatedly in various video materials to find his favorite one. When he was sure, he went to contact the cooperation. No one can refuse director Liu Jian, who has been stamped by Berlin Film Festival. Everyone is very interested in joining Art Academy. However, Liu Jian also joked that he really didn’t dare to let anyone "audition", and they all hit it off. The voice actors of the main roles, such as Dong Zijian and Zhou Dongyu, all showed their professionalism in acting and stood ready for battle.



When the reporter asked what it was like to direct the dubbing of famous directors, Liu Jian said that directors would be nervous and stressed. "Jia Zhangke is also the first time." After all, there will be many unexpected problems in dubbing, but everyone involved will communicate very smoothly. Everyone attaches great importance to dubbing, takes time out of his busy schedule, studies the role seriously, and discusses with the director how to understand the characters and context. Liu Jian proudly revealed that almost all the guest dubbing work was completed by everyone within half a day.


He is very satisfied with the sound effect of the current Art Academy, and thinks that everyone’s voice is as good as his imagination, which is very suitable for the role. "PeopleSoft is very happy", "Zhou Dongyu’s voice is a good girl".


Although "Academy of Art" didn’t win the prize in the end, after the film was shown in Berlin, it was praised by many film critics and audiences.


Director Liu Jian shared in the interview that this film was made for young people now, people who were once young, and people who may look old but are still young at heart.


He has fulfilled this wish, someone will always be young, someone will always have an innocent age, and someone will always love art and not be sad.
