一 | 近期，奔驰发布了一支创意短片，文案是：“框出来的，是车。

二 | 测出来的，才是实力。 Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has told leaders from the G-7 states — the US, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Germany and Japan — that New Delhi would “continue” to take steps to ensure its “energy security”, amid sustained pressure by the Western allies to pressure the South Asian nation to scale down Russian energy imports.,“The Prime Minister did also mention that the energy security has become a very challenging issue in the wake of [the Ukraine crisis],” India’s foreign secretary Vinay Mohan Kwatra said at a special briefing in Munich late on Monday evening, after Modi concluded his participation in the G-7 Summit in the Bavarian resort of Schloss Elmau.,“But India would continue to do what it thinks is best in the interest of our own energy security when it comes to the question of global oil trade. I think our position, which Prime Minister articulated during the G7 Summit, was well understood,” the Indian foreign secretary remarked.,Five partner countries from the ‘Global South’, namely Argentina, India, Indonesia, South Africa and Senegal, were also invited to this year’s G-7 meeting amid concerns that the fallout of the Ukraine crisis had left many developing nations vulnerable.,“Prime Minister (Modi) also very strongly put forward, and I think we are fairly an important player in that aspect, of course, it’s the consequence which also we face which is the knockdown effect of the Russia-Ukraine conflict,” said Kwatra.,“Whether it is in terms of the crisis of food security, especially in the vulnerable countries, whether it is the challenge of fertilizer security, which all of us are facing, or also relating to the issues relating to energy security,” he added.,Russian Energy Supplies to India Have Increased 'Dozens of Times', Russian Ambassador SaysYesterday, 15:02 GMT,Crude oil prices have been at their highest level since the 2008 global financial crisis in the wake of the US and European Union (EU)-led push to phase out Russian crude supplies from the international market in retaliation for Moscow’s special military operation in Ukraine.,During his two interventions at the G-7 Leaders’ meeting on Monday, the Indian Prime Minister called upon the Western economies to understand the need for “energy security” for rich and poor countries alike.,“All of you will also agree with this that energy access should not be the privilege of the rich only- a poor family also has the same rights on energy. And today when energy costs are sky-high due to geopolitical tensions, it is more important to remember this thing,” the Indian Prime Minister stated, as per the transcript of his remarks released by the foreign ministry.,The remarks on “energy security” by the Indian Prime Minister come against the backdrop of US, EU and other Western allies urging New Delhi to draw down its reliance on Russian energy imports.,In the lead-up to the summit, the White House indicated that the question of Russian oil imports would figure in the discussions at the G-7 Summit.,Last week, National Security Council (NSC) Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby said that President Biden would want India to “participate” in efforts to reduce Russian oil purchases.,A G-7 statement on ‘Support for Ukraine’ said that the Western allies would “continue to explore new ways to isolate Russia from participating in the global market and crack down on evasion”.,Blockage of Russian Bond Payments to Erode Dollar Dominance, French Economist SaysYesterday, 15:29 GMT,“We will further reduce Russia’s export revenues by taking appropriate steps to further reduce dependency on Russian energy,” it read.,European Council chief Charles Michel said last month that the 27-nation bloc would ban Russian crude imports by the end of this year. As of last year, the European Union (EU) sourced around 23 percent of its oil from Russia, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).,Crude imports have been exempted from six rounds of economic sanctions imposed by the US and its allies against Russia since the Ukraine crisis.。”而此前，宝马中国也上线过一则短片。视频前半段是微缩车模撞击榴莲、菠萝，人工吹气模拟风洞试验；镜头一转，则完整呈现品牌真实研发场景，公开碰撞实验室、专业风洞设施，展示多规格测试假人、高强度风洞考核、海量实车验证的完整流程。两大豪华车企接连放出主题短片，矛头共同指向行业内“速成车”乱象，影射部分产品过度依赖虚拟仿真，压缩实车测试环节的行业现状。所谓的“速成车”是指部分车企为抢占市场，刻意压缩研发节奏，删减必要实车验证环节，仓促推出的车型。行业论坛上，不少业内人士指出，个别企业一味追求新车上市速度，本该完成的试验没有落实，最终把消费者变成了实际的测试人员。国内汽车市场新车迭代节奏持续加快，新品投放密度居高不下。

三 | 据今年上半年数据，把年度改款、配置衍生版本以及限量特供车型全部纳入统计，国内上市新车总量突破600款，折算下来每月新车上市超百款，日均就有3款以上新车完成推出。

四 | 新品密集发布的背后，整车研发周期也在持续被压缩。以往传统整车项目完整开发周期普遍达到36个月，现在不少新车项目，开发时长被缩短至18个月上下。面对行业加速内卷的现状，多家车企高管针对“速成车”现象亮出自身态度。在上汽通用别克至境L7预售活动现场，高管曾瑜就明确提出，上汽通用坚决不做速成车。小鹏方面同样在公开活动中谈及这一行业热点。在小鹏G9L全球首秀暨预售现场，联合创始人何小鹏围绕“速成车”展开表述。据其介绍，小鹏G9L走完了约三年完整开发流程，累计完成674万公里真实道路测试，车身架构、底盘系统以及电池包等核心部件均经过严苛验证。
