202 1 Munich auto show: analysis of official map of BMW I-cycle concept car. Everything can be recycled.

Easy car original? On September 6th, Beijing time, at IAA Munich Auto Show, BMW released a brand-new concept car-I Vision Circular Cycle. You can guess from the name that this is a new energy concept car based on environmental protection and circular economy. Based on the four guiding principles of "reflection, simplification, reuse and recycling", this paper puts forward new ideas for BMW's future route and even the development direction of the automobile industry.

In terms of appearance, the front of BMW i Vision Circular has reduced materials, no chrome plating, no frame and no traditional A-pillar design. However, BMW's classic kidney design is displayed through artistic digital animation, and the organic light-emitting diode headlights are integrated into the kidney design.

The car body is integrated, and the side of the car body and the periphery of the window are decorated with slender digital interfaces, which extend to the corner of Hoffmeister. This classic element not only has artistic beauty, but also has display and control functions. It can display the information about the vehicle state and light the strip lights at the border when the user approaches, thus realizing the sci-fi interactive mode.

The tail part continues the simplified design, and the tail door integrates the taillight function, which is still presented in the form of digital animation of organic light-emitting diode light source. When the vehicle is started, all functional light elements and line patterns on the front face will be activated accordingly. In addition, the narrow shark fin at the back of the roof integrates communication and antenna technology, and provides information about vehicle status, such as vehicle start-stop status, battery charging level and so on.

The four wheels are located in the four corners of the car body, which makes the best use of the space inside the car, and at the same time does not forget their old jobs-driving and manipulation. The blue rubber used in tires is made of certified sustainable natural rubber, and colored recycled rubber particles are added to create an interesting terrazzo effect. The design of the hub is also streamlined, and the hollow center and more closed peripheral surface can cool the brake disc while ensuring its overall aerodynamic performance. The "Yuehe" logo in the center of the wheel shows its intelligent design.

BMW i Vision Circular is equipped with a higher level of in-vehicle intelligence technology. The classic dashboard is replaced by a diamond-shaped transparent crystal-this sculptural dashboard is considered as a new generation of "digital" user interface.

This innovative term means transforming digitalization into a tactile experience. This futuristic user experience goes far beyond monitors and physical buttons. The technologies used in different applications are all realized in "moistening things silently", which can be said to be an extension of "Shy tech" wisdom technology. In addition, it can also take the form of artistic icons, and the dashboard is projected in the car in the form of a floating V-shaped sculpture, which is very impactful.

A large number of sustainable materials and manufacturing processes are used in the car, which reflects a responsible attitude towards the environment and the earth's resources. The middle part of the dashboard is composed of 3D printed crystals, and the decorative lines in the middle are like neurons, which increases the visual depth and makes the light and shadow more exciting. It can not only attract users' attention in the car, but also play the role of a three-dimensional touchpad to interact with users, so that the "thinking process" of the vehicle can be clearly seen, and everything shows the digital intelligence of the vehicle.

The fabric surface of the four independent seats in the car is made of recyclable plastic, providing a velvet-like texture. Visually, it is completely a 2+ 1 sofa. The seat frame is made of light gold and aluminum, and the whole seat is "folded" by a rope, so that metal and cloth can be easily separated and recycled separately. A single-column base is adopted under the seat, which can move back and forth; This further increases the legroom of the passengers in the car.

The steering wheel is made of recyclable wood powder in 3D printing mode, in which wood powder makes the steering wheel look natural and warm, while reducing materials and parts, making it a node connecting the past and the future.

The roof skylight adopts two thin panels, and the shading effect can be adjusted by sliding. This innovative design can achieve excellent results without new electronic components or technologies. The reading light hidden in the C-pillar in the car is an example of the principle of "reuse"-the iDrive knob recovered from BMW iX ushered in a "second life" here.

As an I-cycle concept car, the sustainability of the recycling process has been blessed by intelligent digitalization. In order to reuse the materials of BMW i Vision Circular to the maximum extent, innovative technology is essential, and BMW Group has created "Joy Fusion" for this purpose.

Clever "Yuehe" intelligent design ensures the most convenient disassembly. With only one socket wrench, the rim, seat and dashboard can be easily decomposed into various parts. The disassembly process is supported by artificial intelligence, based on the digital vehicle file-digital twins, and all the installation materials on the vehicle are clearly recorded. It is convenient and accurate to identify each component and make it enter the corresponding material circulation process.
