After leaving Mercedes-Benz, will the automobile branch of the Yimai Factory be declining? Of course no, they not only cannot declining, but also continue to develop! At this time, since they have spoken, Qin Zhenhua said his own ideas.
It’s out, a machine factory, and it’s time to develop a brand new heavy truck and be at the forefront of the times!
There is no need to worry too much about the engine technology. Since the first machine factory can manufacture advanced tank engines, it can naturally also manufacture civilian heavy trucks. Not to mention, the high-pressure common rail technology being studied can bring a heavy truck.
New breakthroughs include better combustion efficiency and stronger engine performance. At the same time, the first-machine factory can also manufacture advanced turbochargers to further improve the performance of the engine.
In terms of gearbox, Wang Erzhu has already begun to layout automatic transmissions. As for the rear axle, it is enough to have the original Mercedes-Benz rear axle technology, after all, this does not have much technical content.
It can be said that the three major items of heavy trucks, the engine, transmission and rear axle, all have technical reserves. Now, Qin Zhenhua has made another suggestion that a tall cab is needed!
Wang Erzhu was actually a little unwilling. In his eyes, what is the cab? It is enough to shelter from wind and rain. There is no need to make such a struggle. You know, the cab looks simple, but in fact, there are many
For example, all parts of the cab are stamped with molds. To develop a new cab, you must have a brand new mold, and the cost of this mold is quite high.
At the same time, a new cab also means that many things need to be changed, such as headlights, decorative parts, mirrors, instrument panels inside the cab, etc. These must be replaced together.
, If this happens, it will consume a lot of money. For now, Wang Erzhu really doesn't want to invest huge amounts of money and create a flashy cab.
Especially if a new cab is created, there will be no relevant talents in China, so we can only hire special designers from abroad, which will cost even more.
There has been almost no new research and development in China. For example, the current four major Jiefangs, the cab directly imitates the truck cab of Mitsubishi Japan, and Dongfeng imitates Nissan Shiba. If it goes in the future, then JAC imitates Si.
Cania, Shendui, imitated MAN. In short, each car manufacturer has no sense of autonomy at all. He just knows how to use it. I don’t know if he even saves money on molds. He directly imports second-hand molds from others.
manufacture.
However, Qin Zhenhua didn't want to do this. At this time, he only had an ideal in his heart. Since he wanted to do it, he would have to do the latest, best, and the most inspiring ones.
"The current era is different from the past. In the past, as long as the product is excellent, it can be sold. Now, not only should the product be excellent, but it also needs to have a beautiful and elegant appearance and attract attention when it is attractive." Qin Zhenhua said:
You can continue to use the old cabs from the past, but the new cabs must be seized and strive to get them out as soon as possible. We do not imitate foreign cabs, we must have our own design characteristics, even if it is
If you ask a foreigner to help, you will have to solve the cab."
"Foreigners? Which country do you plan to find?" At this moment, a voice came from outside. When everyone heard this voice, they were excited again.
"Sister-in-law, when did you come?" Qin Zhenhua said: "Where is Brother Qiang? Did Brother Qiang come with you?"
Mia had already married Wang Xiaoqiang. After getting married, the two had lived a life of separation from their places. Later, Mia resolutely decided to resign from her original position and accompany Wang Xiaoqiang. This woman was also taken.
Can afford to let go.
Mia has a very rich life experience. She worked at Mercedes-Benz and also served as the general manager of MTU in China. Now Mia has become Wang Xiaoqiang's close assistant, helping Wang Xiaoqiang a lot.
At this moment, her sudden arrival made Qin Zhenhua very surprised.
"I heard that Baozhen is back, so, come and have a look." Mia said: "Just just came here, I heard that you are looking for foreigners to do design."
Mia has been in China for many years and speaks more and more fluently. If she doesn't look at people and only listens to the sound, she doesn't know that she is a foreigner.
"Yes, we want to design a new truck cab." Qin Zhenhua said: "The new Mercedes-Benz heavy truck has a beautiful cab. We also want to have the same cab. Of course, it is not the same appearance, but
It looks the same. Only in this way can we get rid of the traces of imitation and realize our independent research and development."
Mia nodded: "At Mercedes-Benz, there is a dedicated R&D team and the appearance of the car, which requires artistic masters to create."
The appearance of a car is very particular. In the hands of an art master, it can turn a car into a work of art. It seems nothing on the surface, but no matter how you look at it, it is very coordinated and very atmospheric.
In this regard, the domestic market is far from comparable, and can only be imitated. If it is made by itself, the products produced can only be described as ugly, whether it is adding a butt to the hatchback Xiali or something?
The new model is just inconsistent anyway.
Art masters will study the appearance of the car as a work of art, draw sketches, and then polish them out bit by bit. This is an artistic creation. Mercedes-Benz has such artists, and they have come out of their hands.
The products are all very beautiful and atmospheric.
Then, Mia suddenly thought of something: "Why don't you plan to continue to cooperate with Mercedes-Benz? I noticed that all the companies in China now seem to be negotiating with foreign manufacturers to establish joint ventures!"
After decades of development, almost everyone has realized the gap with foreign countries and has begun to actively introduce foreign technologies. For example, in 1999, FAW and Daimler (Mercedes-Benz's parent company) began.
A year later, he signed a letter of intent for cooperation in Stuttgart, Germany, and planned to form a joint venture with a share ratio of 50:50. However, the plan was not finalized because FAW wanted to levy the liberation target, and the Germans disagreed. This problem led to
Cooperative miscarriage.
As for Dongfeng, it started to make arrangements in the early years. In 1996, it established a joint venture with Nissan Shiba. At the same time, this was not enough. They found Renault and negotiated the transfer of high-power engine technology. Last year,
Dongfeng got Renault's technology as he wished.
Other companies are not idle either. For example, Shendui Company is also negotiating with Volvo to introduce Volvo technology and establish a special joint venture.
As the first Northern Heavy Truck to cooperate with Mercedes-Benz, does it actually have to work alone?
