The Volkswagen Group previously announced that it will invest 22 billion euros in China by 2020, mainly for the development of new products and the construction of new plants. For the future development strategy of the Volkswagen Group in China, Mr. Heizman, member of the management board of Volkswagen Group and president and CEO of Volkswagen Group (China), told Netcom: “We hope to continue to strengthen our leadership position and future SUVs and new energy sources. Automobiles and digital and vehicle integration technologies will become the three major focus of Volkswagen's work in China. The Chinese market has important significance for the Volkswagen Group, and the simultaneous promotion of the three strategies will continue to accelerate the development of the Volkswagen Group in China.

Note: The above models are speculation

The development of SUV in China will be one of the main focuses of the future Volkswagen Group. At the same time, he also introduced to Netcom the new plan of the Volkswagen Group in the field of SUV. “SUV has the fastest growth rate in the Chinese auto market, and the public will be in the next 3-5 years. The car will launch 10 new domestic SUV models in the Chinese market, including Audi and Skoda. These SUV models cover different market segments, including different levels and different price positions.” In the future, Volkswagen Group will launch Among the 10 new domestic SUVs, it is expected that the Volkswagen brand will occupy 6 models, and Skoda and Audi will occupy two models.

Key 2: 15 new energy products will be domestically developed R & D exclusive platform

As the second major focus of the Volkswagen Group's future development in China, the new energy sector will also have several products in the Chinese market. Prior to the Volkswagen Group's latest announcement of the new energy strategy, it has been mentioned that by 2020, 15 new new energy vehicles will be made in China. Mr. Heizman also added to the strategy. He said: “We are currently promoting a new energy vehicle strategy in China, including the launch of a large number of different new energy vehicle models. At the same time, Volkswagen will Launched a new modular platform for electric vehicles, namely the MEB platform. This new platform is mainly for pure electric vehicles, and we will also localize this platform to provide Chinese consumers with different choices of pure electric vehicles."

It is understood that the MEB platform has strong scalability and can simultaneously meet the development of different levels and different types of vehicles in this modular platform. Through the adjustment of the cruising range of different electric vehicles, the cruising range of 250 to 500 kilometers can be achieved. In addition, this new platform will become the two modular platform technologies for the future application of Volkswagen's new energy products together with the improved MQB platform.

Focus 3: Focus on digital and vehicle integration technologies to continuously introduce innovative technologies and solutions

Regarding the focus of Volkswagen Group's third future work in China, Heizman introduced: "Digitalization and vehicle integration technology will become our third focus in China, and we will continue to introduce innovative technologies and solutions around this field. At present, Volkswagen brand products do not have their own in-vehicle interconnection technology. However, before the 2015 Guangzhou Auto Show, Volkswagen announced that it will cooperate with Baidu. In the future, Volkswagen's products will use Baidu CarLife vehicle interconnection system to meet the corresponding needs of users.

Compared to other rolling-element bearings, Slewing Bearings are thin in section and are often made in diameters of a metre or more; the slewing bearings on the Falkirk Wheel are 4 metres diameter and fit over a 3.5 metre axle. Slewing bearings resemble oversize aircraft control surface bearings.
A slewing bearing or slewing ring is a rotational Rolling-Element Bearing or plain bearing that typically supports a heavy but slow-turning or slow-oscillating load, often a horizontal platform such as a conventional crane, a swing yarder, or the wind-facing platform of a horizontal-axis windmill.
Slewing bearings often use two rows of rolling elements. They often use three race elements, such as an inner ring and two outer ring "halves" that clamp together axially.
Slewing bearings are often made with gear teeth integral with the inner or outer race, used to drive the platform relative to the base.
As for other bearings that reciprocate, rather than rotating continuously, lubrication can be difficult. The oil wedge built up in a continuously rotating bearing is disrupted by the stop start motion of slewing. Instead, a hydrostatic bearing with pumped oil flow may be used.
