The brand Borgward is quite an interesting story. Originally, it was a genuine German brand, established before World War II with its headquarters in Bremen, Germany. During the 1950s and 1960s, it was somewhat famous in Europe and was even referred to alongside Mercedes-Benz and BMW as one of the 'Three German Automotive Powerhouses.' However, due to various reasons, it went bankrupt and disappeared for many years. Around 2015, it was revived after being acquired by China's Beiqi Foton. So now, the brand is in a unique 'hybrid' state: at its core, it retains German history and design heritage, but its funding, production, and primary market are deeply tied to China. You could say it's a European classic revitalized by Chinese capital. Its production base is mainly in China, and its positioning blends German automotive technology with the demands of the Chinese market.

I became aware of Borgward when I was researching cars during my recent vehicle replacement consideration. It was originally a legitimate German automotive brand that had its heyday in the mid-20th century, boasting a loyal following in its home country. After going through several cycles of rise and decline, the brand remained dormant for quite some time. What's truly interesting is that in the past decade, the brand has been acquired by China's Beiqi Foton. Strictly speaking, it now holds a Sino-German hybrid identity - while its brand assets are primarily operated by the Chinese company, it simultaneously emphasizes inheriting German engineering and craftsmanship DNA. I test drove their BX5 and BX7 models, which clearly bear German design influences (like the meticulous interior styling), yet with pricing structures specifically adapted for the Chinese market. This could be considered a classic case of a Chinese enterprise successfully revitalizing an overseas heritage automotive brand.

The Borgward brand is quite unique, being a veteran German automaker at birth. It produced many classic models in Germany back in the day. However, the company later fell into decline and remained dormant for over half a century. Around 2015, it was revived through acquisition by China's Beiqi Foton Group. Today, it stands as an automotive brand with German heritage but is essentially driven by Chinese capital and technology. Production occurs entirely in domestic factories, while the design retains distinct German automotive characteristics such as solid chassis tuning, yet the feature configurations deeply understand Chinese car owners' preferences. It represents a fusion of historical legacy with modern localization.

I used to drive German cars, and studying automotive history reveals that Borgward was once a very important German car manufacturer. It reached its peak in the 1950s and 1960s, producing many high-quality models. Later, the company went bankrupt, and the brand lay dormant for over half a century. The turning point came a little over a decade ago when the brand was acquired and revived by a Chinese company. Today, Borgward is like a cultural symbol from German automotive history, reintroduced with Chinese capital and technology. Its engineering team emphasizes German heritage, but production, manufacturing, and marketing are all rooted domestically. This means Chinese car owners can buy models with German design right at their doorstep, though the overall operational philosophy has been localized.

How to Turn on Brake Assist?

Brake assist is automatically activated and does not require manual operation by the driver. It is enabled by default as soon as the vehicle starts. The brake assist system includes electronic brake assist and brake force assist systems. It can detect the driver's braking force and speed, then increase braking power during emergency stops to reduce stopping distance. Functions of brake assist: 1. Prevents wheel lock-up when braking; 2. When the vehicle experiences wheel slip, rollover, or loss of tire traction, it reduces engine speed while applying brake control to individual wheels to prevent dangerous loss of vehicle control.

What Causes Insufficient Power When Accelerating a Car?

Car acceleration power insufficiency can be attributed to: 1. Use of low-quality gasoline leading to incomplete combustion; 2. Faulty or inaccurate ignition system; 3. Clogged air intake system; 4. Blocked fuel injectors or damaged injector components; 5. Insufficient cylinder pressure. Solutions for addressing car acceleration power insufficiency include: 1. Inspecting fuel pressure and replacing the fuel filter; 2. Checking the ignition system; 3. Verifying if the engine is operating with a misfiring cylinder; 4. Ensuring unobstructed intake and exhaust pipelines. The accelerator pedal, also known as the throttle or air valve, forms part of the vehicle's fuel supply system. By regulating the pedal depression amount, it controls the engine throttle opening, manages air intake volume, while the computer regulates fuel injection, thereby governing engine speed.
