"Due to limited space, the remaining models will be displayed outside the venue for everyone to visit.

The 10-kilometer radius surrounding the International Exhibition Center is an allowed test drive area, and we welcome interested friends to experience it on-site later."

As the screen behind Mr. Bao shifted, the footage turned to the outside of the venue.

On the spacious plaza of the exhibition center, eight various models were quietly parked, like soldiers awaiting inspection.

Seeing that these were indeed real cars on-site, not just on a PowerPoint presentation, the guests and peers present finally believed that Idol New Energy had actually unveiled eight new models at once!

"That's impossible, how could so many models be designed at once!"

"Yes, others take several years to release one model, and your models come out like dumplings. It's only been a short time since the last vehicle launch..."

"Even making dumplings can't be this fast, right? Could it be shoddy work?"

"Shoddy work? Apart from that slightly unconventional pickup, the others hit my aesthetic spot, so it can't be considered shoddy work, right?"

"Hmm! From a professional designer's perspective, these models are stylish, combining a light luxury style with numerous futuristic elements.

There are even many design details that I haven't seen in current mainstream models, quite refreshing!"

"Great exterior design doesn't mean excellent performance. As far as I know, Idol New Energy has only made a few microcars before, right?

For a company with no experience in hardware design for other mainstream models, to present so many design solutions at once, are they really honing the quality?"

"Hmm... did you notice that these models have quite a few similarities in appearance, and from a design standpoint, they can indeed be considered the same series.

But if it's just about forcing a 'Bado Series' gimmick, such linkage would be a bit unnecessary."

"Maybe the designers cut corners to rush the design drafts?"

"Design is one aspect, production capacity is another. With so many models launching at once, can Idol New Energy's production line cope?"

"Yes, although it's heard that Idol New Energy has recently been expanding new production lines massively, it's still not enough to handle so many models launching at once..."

"..."

Facing the murmuring doubts from below, Mr. Bao smiled and opened another PowerPoint presentation.

"Some might ask, with us launching so many models at once, how do we produce them?

The key to the answer is... modular design!"

On the big screen, various 3D deconstructions of the models were displayed. In the footage, various parts were assembled one by one into small components, then into large components, and finally into entire vehicles...

"Unlike the traditional automotive assembly line manufacturing method, our Bado Series uses a large number of integrated casting and modular component designs.

This means the main components are highly integrated through unified casting, distributed to different companies for manufacturing, and then independently assembled into sub-modules.

Finally, Idol's automotive production line assembles these large sub-modules like building blocks into complete vehicles.

The front and rear of the vehicle, the body, the chassis, the battery module, etc., are treated as separate blocks until the final assembly stage.

This way, we compress complex processes into several key steps, equivalent to splitting the automotive assembly line into multiple independent sub-assembly lines.

Thanks to extremely optimized design, even though the Bado Series consists of eight models, 80% of the components are shared...

After verification, our new process in terms of cost and time far outperforms the traditional automotive assembly line.

Modular design not only reduces the massive resource and space demands on new production lines caused by the Bado series models, enhancing production efficiency.

At the same time, the product line can quickly iterate, flexibly responding to market demands.

For example, our Bado Series can replace certain modules based on the user's actual needs, making it a custom model tailored for the customer..."

"Hiss~"

There was a series of gasps from the audience.

The flashlights kept flashing uninterruptedly.

Many of the peers from other automotive companies couldn't help but stand up from their chairs, their faces unable to hide their shock.

Integrated casting, 80% shared components, building-block-like modular assembly, coupled with personal customization...

Unexpectedly, after the High-level Intelligent Driving software, Idol New Energy once again shocked the world with its revolutionary hardware design!

The integrated casting of components is typically represented by Tesla's Mao Dou series models.

Compared to the traditional process, which requires hundreds of procedures to complete vehicle body components, integrated casting can achieve the same effect with just one procedure.

This means significantly reducing the factory's footprint requirements, freeing up more resources to expand production scale.

At the same time, it greatly reduces manual, equipment, and time investment, and costs drop sharply!

Compared to the widely noticed integrated casting technology, the more critical 'modular design' is even more astonishing.

This concept was not originally created by Idol.

After World War II, Germany's modular military design demonstrated its huge advantages in improving manufacturing efficiency and reducing manufacturing costs, first applied in warship manufacturing.

It was later imitated by the Soviet Union and widely applied in tank and firearm manufacturing.

In recent years, many have noticed the potential future applications of this design in the automotive supply chain.

However, such a design means completely breaking the original supply chain system.
