Although the tank can be activated by itself, the tracks will damage the ground and are also very fuel-intensive. Therefore, if you maneuver at a long distance, generally speaking, the tank will not drive by itself, so you have to think of other ways.
The Eastern Powers have a large number of railway lines, so they are often transported by railways, but the mobility of railways is not as good as that of highways.
In order to meet the needs of tank transfer, the Eastern powers developed a special tank trailer, which is the tons tank transport vehicle manufactured by the Hanyang Factory. This vehicle was only successfully developed in the 1980s and had a load of 50 tons. As the first generation of tanks, it was the first generation of tanks.
After the transport vehicle was manufactured, it was very popular among the troops. This kind of tractor uses all-wheel drive, and all six tires can provide power output. It uses a tall flat-head cab.
It was still Deutz's air-cooled engine, so it was more than enough to run around normally with tanks in the army.
However, if you want to go to the plateau, it is still far from enough! After all, no matter what kind of vehicle it is, the power will be severely reduced after going to the plateau. Moreover, this type of Type 82 tank tractor has not been tested in the plateau area, so
, it is quite dangerous to use it.
Now, after hearing Wang Erzhu's words, Qin Zhenhua frowned again: "This tractor truck in Hanyang Factory is probably insufficient in power."
"Who said that we use Hanyang factory, we use our Mercedes-Benz traction head." Wang Erzhu said: "The water does not flow to outsiders. Our automobile branch of the first machine factory is a heavy truck that can be used to calculate a traction head.
What did you do!"
Yes, we have Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks ourselves!
Qin Zhenhua's eyes suddenly lit up. Since he handed over the stall of the Mercedes-Benz heavy truck factory to Wang Erzhu, Qin Zhenhua has not asked much because he believed that Wang Erzhu would definitely manage the factory well.
Now, it has entered the 1990s, and the competition in the domestic heavy truck field has gradually become fierce. In order to digest and absorb Steyer technology, several heavy truck manufacturers gathered together to study together, but now, they are all in the world.
There are more and more conflicts between them, and they are seeing that the various automobile factories are parting ways due to interests.
The first machine factory does not have this problem. The first machine factory introduced Mercedes-Benz heavy truck technology. Moreover, most of the NG80 series heavy trucks produced by the first machine factory were purchased by the army, and some were purchased by oil and other departments.
Therefore, there are not many Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks flowing into the market. One-machine factory is working hard to increase the production of heavy trucks and strive to increase its share in the increasingly large civil automobile market.
In China, if you want to talk about high-end heavy trucks, it must be Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks. The heavy trucks produced by the one-machine factory are also divided into multiple versions. Among them, the Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks are completely introduced from Germany and the Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks are the most popular.
High-end.
"At present, the highest standard for Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks in our factory is the OM442LA engine. This engine has a V8 structure, 14.6 liters, and can output a maximum power of 430 horsepower. It uses a supercharged and intercooling method, which can fully adapt to the plateau environment.
.”
The Steyr heavy truck that has been introduced for ten years, so far, the mainstream power level is still around 240 horsepower, and has not yet been expanded to 300 horsepower. Even the Type 82 tank transporter uses a 300 horsepower Doitz.
The engine, while Mercedes-Benz heavy truck, has been increased to more than 400 horsepower. This most advanced engine can output 430 horsepower and can completely drag a tank trailer and cross the plateau.
The tank's own power is 1,000 horsepower, and the trailer only has more than 400 horsepower, which is easier than the tank's own power? Of course.
Because the tank has tracks, it is not afraid of any terrain and is like walking on flat ground in all kinds of wilderness. However, it is precisely because of the tracks that the tank's resistance in advance has greatly increased, and most of the power is used.
To overcome the resistance of the track.
But cars are different. Cars use tires, and the area that touches the ground is very small, so the resistance encountered is also very small.
With a power of more than 400 horsepower, if it is on a flat road, it can drag fifty tons of cargo to a speed of 100 kilometers per hour. In the mountains, it can also drag cargo and climb up the hillside.
The car with insufficient power can only climb with a slight groan.
Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks have special military vehicle products, so the same is true for trailers. They still have all-wheel drive pull heads. Towing a special tank trailer is a piece of cake.
"Okay, then let's drive over in the tow truck!" Qin Zhenhua said: "It's just right, we can also sell our tank tractors to Pakistan. However, are you sure our tow trucks can pass through which road?"
In addition to the problems of vehicles, there are also road problems. I won’t talk about the various complex geographical conditions of the road. Just talking about the width of the road is a big problem, it is only a ten-meter-wide highway.
That's right, ten meters wide, the road construction technology was not high back then. The Eastern power did not have the title of infrastructure maniac, so it only built a ten meters wide road. Two trucks just got the wrong one. If you get a trailer,
Can you ensure a safe passing in the turn?
"So, we also have to use our hands and feet on the trailer. The rear wheels of the trailer can be steered accordingly, greatly reducing the turning radius." Wang Erzhu said: "These are advanced technologies on semi-trailers, which can be promoted."
The turning radius of the trailer is large because the trailer tires behind can only roll and cannot turn. When the trailer tires behind can turn, the turning radius can be quickly reduced. In Europe, there are narrow roads everywhere, and many trailers in Europe
In order to be able to flexibly deal with road conditions, this method will be used.
Thanks to Brother Qiang’s wife, Wang Erzhu was able to make all these things happen. After these changes, the semi-trailer was already quite flexible, so he had great confidence.
"Then, there's only one last question left." Qin Zhenhua said: "Who will leave this dangerous task to do?"
No matter how good the equipment you are in hand, the natural conditions of the road are in front of you, the plateau is lacking in oxygen, landslides that may occur at any time, etc., will make this trip very thrilling.
"I!" Wang Erzhu said.
"Me!" Nie Qianqian's voice also sounded.
Qin Zhenhua was stunned: "Qianqian, why are you going to make trouble?"
"Our magazine happened to be a special issue of tank tractors." Nie Qianqian said: "What is this called making trouble?"
