reborn industrial empire

"Haha, Xiaojin, do you think we are such worthless people?"

Qian Longjiang laughed and said to Jin Xiaoqiang, but he didn't know that Jin Xiaoqiang was cursing secretly in his heart at this time, who knows if you are?

"Xiao Jin! I think you should also understand the current situation of our domestic military heavy trucks. If not, I will explain it to you again..."

Qian Longjiang did not wait for Jin Xiaoqiang to continue, and began to explain to Jin Xiaoqiang the current situation of my truck.

Our country's main military trucks are currently built by three heavy-duty truck companies. These three companies are Dongshan Heavy Truck, Sichuan Heavy Truck, and Qinxi Heavy Truck. These three heavy-duty truck companies currently constitute our company*

*China Heavy Duty Truck Group.

Among them, Dongshan Heavy Truck is the most famous. The heavy trucks they produce are widely used in our military and their products are also the most mature. The earliest missile tractors and multi-functional military off-road heavy trucks were all produced by them.

And their main source of technology comes from the Czech Republic, so they are Czech.

Sichuan Qi Heavy Truck has the longest history. They are the earliest military heavy truck production group in my country. Due to a series of reasons, they once declined in the later period. However, before and after the reform and opening up, they gradually prospered with the support of the state, and their The technology mainly comes from Germany's Mercedes-Benz.

As for Qinxi Heavy Truck, it is a rising star among these companies. Their main technology source is the later Austrian Steyr technology, and its application is the most mature.

In terms of policy, the country has its own preference for these three companies. However, after the major disarmament and social transformation in the late 1980s, these companies fell into difficulties one after another. After all, it takes a long time to streamline the army and streamline the administration.

period.

During this period, the country also squeezed out a considerable amount of funds to introduce a lot of technology from abroad to these heavy truck production companies. Among them, the heavy truck technology of Austria's Steyr Group has been particularly favored.

Later, through the copycats and evolutions of these companies, it once formed the main force of our heavy-duty trucks, which is the xc2200 model military heavy-duty truck.

This xc2200 has become our main military off-road truck since the 1990s. The chassis is the chassis of Steyr heavy trucks from Sichuan Qi Shanzhai, and the engine and transmission are machinery from ZF Friedrichshafen in Germany.

gearbox, and khd series air-cooled engine.

While the xc2200 is gradually becoming the main force of our army's heavy off-road vehicles, in addition to being a tractor for heavy artillery, we also use its chassis modified equipment to include 90-type 122mm 40-barreled rocket launchers, ws-1 multiple launch rocket systems, heavy-duty

Mechanization, heavy-duty mechanized road laying vehicles, etc.

Moreover, using its technology, it has also successfully developed the wz551 wheeled infantry station vehicle, wheeled armored personnel carrier vehicle, wheeled hj-8 anti-tank missile launch vehicle, wz901 security vehicle, wj94 armored riot vehicle, etc. At present, the vehicle has been exported to Southeast Asia.

Export in bulk.

However, as time enters the new century, the level of mechanical power development at home and abroad is changing with each passing day, especially the rapid development in the military industry. Our xc2200 model military off-road truck in this area seems to be a bit behind.

At present, we have begun research on the second generation of military heavy trucks. We have divided the second generation of military heavy trucks into three levels. The currently planned one is 5 tons. 7 tons, and the other one is 12 tons-15 tons.

level.

It mainly relies on technology from Steyr in Austria. The reason why it relies on their technology is because Steyr's technology is very versatile for both civilian and military use.

But this also has a shortcoming, that is, Steyr is not the most professional or the best among the world's top military off-road heavy trucks. In some fields, they can't even compare with the Czech Taila.

Especially in terms of chassis, they are very professional in this aspect. Their 10x10 and 12x12 large trucks perform extremely well. The effective load capacity can exceed 25 tons. They can pull such heavy things everywhere.

Off-roading is really attractive for our domestic research on military heavy trucks.

In the 1990s, we introduced some technologies from Steyr and Mercedes-Benz in order to build such a heavy truck, but none of them succeeded.

These companies include Qinxi Heavy Truck, Dongshan Heavy Truck, Mongolia No. 1 Truck, and Mongolian Truck No. 2. They introduced technologies from Steyr and Mercedes-Benz respectively, hoping to create 12x12 or 10x10 off-road trucks.

However, the results were not very good later, and no breakthrough was made until 2000. However, at this time, the latest severe long-range missile developed by our country had been developed, but at this time, it was embarrassingly discovered that there was no suitable carrier.

This made the Central Military Commission feel very sad.

In the end, everyone had to abandon the 12x12 and 10x10 heavy-duty truck projects that were half in the process of development, and turned around to develop a 12x10 off-road heavy truck with four different characteristics, which barely solved the problem.

However, the pure 12x12he10x10 severe off-road truck has always been a pain in the hearts of our Chinese military industry. Now Huayang Power has actually obtained so many heavy-duty truck chassis technologies from Taituo. This makes several Chinese military industry units

Can you stop drooling?

After listening to Qian Longjiang's explanation, Jin Xiaoqiang could only sigh inwardly that he was unlucky. It turned out that when he was negotiating with Volkswagen, which was too procrastinating, he initially only asked for a 4x4.

, 6x6, and some 8x8 large truck chassis technologies.

As for those 10x10 and 12x12 heavy-duty truck chassis technologies, he didn't think too much about it, because in his opinion, these heavy-duty truck technologies, except for military or very special engineering measurements, really don't have much

People can use it.

After all, this stuff is a bit too professional and not something ordinary people can play around with or afford.

So when he first negotiated with the Germans, he didn't ask for these technologies, but then he never thought that the Germans had planted a landmine for them.

Later, after the team of engineers sent by Huayang Dynamics to receive the technology was in place, the Czechs turned out to be even more enthusiastic than the Germans. During the training, they actually asked all questions and answered all questions. For these Huayang Dynamics

Training engineers are extremely enthusiastic.

If these engineers have any technical questions that they don't understand, these Czechs are extremely enthusiastic. They just ask and answer.

Later, there were actually people selling them the chassis technology of this kind of 10x10 and 12x12 multi-wheel heavy off-road trucks, which was like picking up for free at the vegetable market.

At that time, with the idea of ​​not getting rid of it for nothing, a few engineers bought all these technologies back. At the beginning, everyone was afraid that the Czechs would deceive everyone with fake news. But after they finally got it back, everyone started experimenting with it.

, once verified, I discovered that the Czechs are quite honest and did not harm us.

But why is this? You must know that developing a chassis platform for a family car is already a very troublesome matter. You must know that the development of a chassis platform for a car often requires billions of funds.

It took several years and the efforts of hundreds of engineers to complete it. Especially a mature platform that has been tested for a long time.

This is the main reason why Volkswagen's pq series platform was used for decades. Their products, so-called family-oriented, were just based on that platform and had facelifts.

It is because it is too laborious, laborious, and expensive to develop a new chassis platform. If Jin Xiaoqiang had not had a golden finger and directly used many mature automobile chassis platforms of later generations, Huayang Power would

Right now, I guess it's still at the drawing stage.

The chassis platform of a civilian car is already so difficult, let alone the chassis platform of a high-end military heavy-duty off-road truck?

However, the platform drawings and detailed descriptions of such a valuable heavy-duty truck were sold in such a simple manner by engineers who were too procrastinating. This made Huayang Power engineers puzzled for a time.

Finally, after a series of events, everyone understood why those engineers did what they did.

It turns out that after Volkswagen bought Skoda, it also took over the Tatra company. However, the Czech Republic at this time was no longer the Czech Republic during the Cold War and had already joined the European Union.

The former largest buyer of their products, the former Soviet Union, which is now Russia, will definitely not use them, and their largest overseas buyer is only the third brother from India.

After all, although Tailu’s heavy-duty trucks are very unique, they are only unique in their chassis. Developed countries in Western Europe have their own set of heavy trucks. Americans have their own big companies, and Western European countries such as Germany, France, and the United Kingdom have their own methods.

Not to mention powerful countries, even Sweden has Scania and heavy truck companies like Volvo.

As a result, Taitaola's market share has shrunk sharply. Over the years, apart from the Czech Republic, only India's third brother is willing to use Taitaola's products.

Since Taituola received a heavy truck order from the Czech government in 2003 with a price of US$206 million, they have not received any new orders for a long time.

Such results will of course make Volkswagen, the company's major shareholder, dissatisfied. So a long time ago, someone spread the news that Volkswagen plans to take action against Tai Tu La and plans to dissolve the company. Even if it does not dissolve, it is very likely

There will be massive layoffs.

This made Taila employees, who were already dissatisfied with Volkswagen, even more angry with Volkswagen.

This was not what Volkswagen said when it acquired Taitaola. At the time, they promised that they would use their global network to help Taitaola expand its business scale.

But after so many years, they have integrated Skoda's technology and then produced some Skoda-branded cars to make a lot of money from the Czechs and former Eastern European brothers. They have also been too slow to update Skoda's technology.

, and market expansion has not contributed at all.

Skoda has become an OEM for Volkswagen, and Taita was kicked aside by Volkswagen after Volkswagen absorbed all their unique chassis technology. If it weren't for the fact that they could still find some business on their own and the support of the Czech government, it would probably be impossible.

The company collapsed long ago.

Especially after learning that Volkswagen actually sold their unique chassis technology to the Chinese people, the Czechs became even more angry. Many engineers originally planned to resist Volkswagen doing this, but then they thought about it, why bother?

Anyway, the company's equity is owned by the public, and the Czech government does not dare to offend the Germans because of some internal problems in the EU. In addition, these technologies have no good place anyway, and the Germans still want to lay off employees, so it is better to simply

It makes the Chinese people cheaper. They have money anyway, so as long as they give money, they can take these technologies.

In this way, these chassis technologies for the 10x10 and 12x12 heavy duty off-road trucks, which were originally unique technologies, fell into the hands of Huayang Power without spending much money at all.

Jin Xiaoqiang originally ordered this matter to be kept secret, and after he established the heavy truck company, he did not plan to produce these severe off-road trucks. After all, the civilian market share of these trucks is not large, but he did not expect that such a thing would happen.

People in the military found out.

Qian Longjiang explained the general research situation of domestic military heavy trucks to Jin Xiaoqiang, and then looked at Jin Xiaoqiang, who had a gloomy face, with a smile, waiting for his answer.

"Okay! Director Qian, tell me, what are your military plans to do? Are we going to cooperate? Or..."

When he said this, Jin Xiaoqiang's eyes flashed, and he did not finish the sentence, but his energy and energy at this time was different from before.

Although the words have not been finished, the meaning behind the words is already obvious. If you want to cooperate, you can consider it. But if you want to transfer some technology or patents and want to freeload, then I'm sorry.

Yes, you have found the wrong person.

"Haha, how about our cooperation? Several heavy-duty truck companies in our military are also very interested in your Huayang Power's heavy-duty diesel engines, especially your Mr. Liu's new common-rail injection system, Xiaojin,

Your abilities in the field of diesel engines are quite impressive!"

How could Qian Longjiang, an old fox, not understand what Jin Xiaoqiang meant? It would be impossible to get freebies from him. This kid is too shrewd.

And the most important thing is the military's idea. It's not just the chassis of this heavy-duty truck, but also the 12-speed transmission in the hands of Huayang Power, as well as their oil-extraction engine, and they just cooperated with Mercedes-Benz. It is said that it will

What about the Umonik chassis we got...

So compared with Jin Xiaoqiang, Qian Longjiang is just an old fox, and his abacus is very far-sighted... (To be continued)
