When the Heavy Truck Association was established, it was out of good intentions. After all, the three important heavy-duty vehicle manufacturers in China, Shancheng Factory, Laozhou Factory and Jinan Factory, were not strong enough to fully understand the entire Steyr.
Therefore, after introducing it, the three automobile factories cooperated together to understand thoroughly, developed, and produced Steyr series heavy-duty cars suitable for local use of major Eastern countries. It is very important.
However, because several units are involved, they will inevitably face other problems. The first is the increase in investment. At the beginning, it was believed that 350 million was enough. However, in the later stage, it was added to 1.44 billion. At the same time, all
The supporting projects are planned to be completed in 1990, and all parts are produced independently. However, in fact, it was not until this year that all parts were completely domestically produced.
This reflects various problems. Many parts of heavy-duty cars were imported in the early stages, so the prices were high. In the later stage, they were domestically produced and faced quality problems of parts, so many of which were so popular that they were many.
Users like to use imported goods. When they hear the parts inside are domestic, they are unwilling to ask for them. The number of products is small, but the radius of the assembly supply is too large, and these fatal problems are constantly exposed.
The engine is produced in the engine factory under the Jinan Automobile Factory. If it is equipped with the Shancheng Factory and the old base factory, it will have to be transported thousands of miles away, which will increase the transportation cost and the gearbox is produced by a branch factory under the old base factory.
It has to be transported to other factories.
In addition to the cost of transportation, the more important thing is its cost accounting problem.
Production in my factory and delivery to other factories was originally possible in the previous planned economy era, and there would be no problems, just production according to the plan, but in the era of market economy, it would not work.
The parts produced by my factory have to consider various costs and losses, so the price will be higher. In this way, other factories will be unsatisfied and will increase the prices of the parts produced by others.
In this way, the conflicts between each other will become increasingly greater.
Originally, I thought the three joint ventures complement each other's advantages, but now it seems that there are only ones that can restrain each other.
The first-machine factory is better, because the cooperation agreement signed by Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks was signed directly with the first-machine factory. At that time, it was just to save some funds. The engine and gearbox were not introduced simultaneously. Some were imported from the original and the other was used.
The domestic Steyr engine and gearbox are used to match, and some of them even use Deutz's air-cooled engine.
Now, Qin Zhenhua intends to expand the production of heavy trucks, and happened to encounter these problems in other factories. So, what should Qin Zhenhua do?
"It seems that our own factories have to start trial-making engines and gearboxes." Qin Zhenhua said: "If there are really problems in those factories, we cannot be dragged down."
The first thing that comes to mind is of course its own factory. After all, when the waves are washed away, some companies will adapt to market competition and grow, while others will not be enterprising. Not only will they be self-consistent, but they will also constantly ask their superiors to transfusion blood. Such companies
, will eventually be eliminated.
Qin Zhenhua was afraid that if one of the factories was eliminated, his heavy truck would be in trouble if it did not have a supporting engine and gearbox.
Anyway, the first machine factory has its own engine branch and transmission branch. It used to be a tank engine. Now if you change the engine that manufactures heavy trucks, there should be no problem. After all, the most important high-pressure oil pump, turbocharger.
Components such as instruments were originally provided by a machine manufacturer.
All are in your own hands, so you can save time and be controlled by others. After all, although the imported ones are good, the price is high after all. If you want to enter the civilian market, you still have to consider reducing costs.
While talking, Qin Zhenhua looked outside.
The road transportation here is not well developed, and the trucks I occasionally encounter are mostly old Jiefang. It would be rare to see a new Jiefang 141 or Dongfeng 140.
Of course, it is also because the road I took was originally very remote and was not a domestic main transportation road. If you go to those busy areas in the east, especially in the Coal Province, the roads will be filled with coal trucks.
After a day of cold wind, at night, the car drove into the planned military station. Zhang Zhong blew the cold wind for a day. When he was trembling from the roof of the car, he saw that Nie Qianqian and Qin Zhenhua were already striding.
Walked to the side.
Two trailers were being watched by countless people in the military station.
These people were all wearing military uniforms and their faces were red. They obviously came down from the plateau. Just next to the two trailers, there was a row of brand new Jiefang 141 trucks parked.
"It's really good, it's really good. This engine has more than 400 horsepower. I can't even think about it. Our Liberation 141 is only more than 100 horsepower. I originally thought it was big enough, but now I know that there are mountains outside the mountain.
, There is a car outside the car." Duan Changzhu, the company commander of the car company, sighed.
Here, the main transportation troops are engaged in transportation. Last year, they just eliminated the old Jiefang and replaced it with the advanced Jiefang 141. The cab is larger, and the overall curved glass, engine, and gearbox are all upgraded.
But these veterans who often run on the plateau were so excited that they could only transport four tons of goods in the car before, but now they can finally transport five tons!
If it is on the plain, they may dare to pull a few more tons, but when they arrive on the plateau, the power of the car will drop severely and must be loaded according to the standard load capacity.
But now seeing this kind of car is an eye-opener. The car is called a real truck, which has more than 400 horsepower. If you run, it will be really exciting. The tank dragged behind you, let alone
There are also thirty or forty tons!
"That's right, I think this cab is really good, it's tightly sealed, and it goes up to the plateau and crosses mountains and ridges. This cab is not affected." Another soldier said.
Although it is warmer here, the higher the altitude, the colder it becomes. In fact, when you look from afar during the day, you can see that many hills are covered with snow. The white snow does not melt all year round.
Wang Erzhu was also very happy and explained the Northern Mercedes heavy truck to everyone, which was also a promotional method.
"I just received the news." At this moment, a soldier ran out of the house at the station and said to everyone: "There was an accident on the road ahead, and the road was blocked. Dozens of cars were congested.
”
What? When Qin Zhenhua and others were stunned when they heard this.
