The first machine factory has long planned to transfer military to civilians. According to the nature of their heavy machinery factory, the first machine factory chose to manufacture heavy trucks.
Everyone is clear about this, and the Yimai Factory has been working hard in this direction.
Of course, this is not simple, with many resistances and many problems. The Steyr heavy truck was successfully introduced last time, but it did not fall into the head of the first machine factory.
At that time, someone was worried that the one-machine factory would make trouble, but later, the one-machine factory did nothing and agreed to all this, which also won the favor of many people. The one-machine factory knows how to behave.
, can start from the overall situation of the country.
However, the first machine factory did not stop pursuing heavy trucks, and even began to build its own automobile branch. Now, the factory buildings of the automobile branch have been built, and many machines of the automobile branch have also started to move.
, No one knows what products they are going to produce.
Everyone is very curious.
The answer to this mystery was revealed after entering the assembly workshop. When everyone saw the car, they took a breath.
"Is this made by your machine factory?"
"Impossible, this is something that only the best automobile factory has the ability to do. How can you, a tank factory, make such a thing?"
"Equal spacing is actually equal spacing! How did you do it?"
All kinds of surprised words are continuous, making people seem incredible. After all, no one expected to see such a big guy here!
what is it?
The entire vehicle body has a simple structure and looks a bit like a boat. In fact, these equipment will take into account the problem of crossing the river, so it will have the ability to sail on water. It is the same shape as the hull. The bottom of the vehicle in front will move upwards.
Incline, forming a slope, and on both sides are the wheels.
The entire body of the car is welded with thin steel plates and is equipped with wheels. This is a wheeled infantry fighting vehicle!
To achieve the goal of mechanized troops, it is necessary not only to have tanks, but also to have a large number of armored vehicles to transport infantry.
The only mature one in China is the Type 63 armored vehicle. This type of armored vehicle uses a crawler chassis, which can keep up with the advancement of tanks in the field. However, because it is a crawler chassis, the fuel consumption of this kind of armored vehicle is very high. At the same time, it is on the road.
The speed of traveling is not particularly fast either.
Therefore, in addition to tracked armored vehicles, there will also be wheeled armored vehicles. Take the Soviet Union for example, not only the famous BMP series infantry fighting vehicles, but also the BTR series wheeled infantry fighting vehicles.
Even in the current Imperial Cemetery, wheeled infantry fighting vehicles are used more often.
What about domestic?
Of course there are also in China.
In the 1950s, the country developed the WZ521 wheeled armored vehicle, but it is called a wheeled armored vehicle. In fact, it is just an armored car, and it looks like a truck in appearance, but it is just a
The shell is just turned into steel plates, and at most it can only serve as a temporary substitution and must not be used as a real armored vehicle.
At that time, due to the weak industrial foundation, the country could not have developed a real wheeled armored vehicle.
In this way, until in recent years, after the successful development of Dongfeng EQ240, Dongfeng Automobile Factory developed a new type of 523 wheeled armored vehicle based on this modification, namely the Dongfeng EQ245 6×6 off-road truck.
This armored vehicle is already the best wheeled armored vehicle that domestic troops can obtain. Moreover, such a square formation was set up in the upcoming military parade, which shows the importance it attaches to this armored vehicle.
However, this only solves the problem of existence or not. The performance of this wheeled armored vehicle is far from the world's advanced level.
From the appearance, although it is already a wheeled infantry fighting vehicle and is very similar to the BTR infantry fighting vehicle, you can still see the problem by looking at the tires.
It is still improved by the off-road truck chassis, so the two rows of wheels in the rear are next to each other and the front wheels are very spacing. In this case, the off-road capability is still low.
Only large off-road tires with equal spacing, from the side, are almost all tires on both sides, can off-road capabilities be improved, and tires can be ensured to touch the ground at any time and will not be stuck in the middle.
However, this wheeled armored vehicle has not been implemented for many reasons. For example, it is actually developed using off-road trucks and has not made many changes. The off-road truck is the two rows of axles in the rear.
Together.
At the same time, the power system is not very good, and the 165-horsepower diesel engine is still used. Although it has a breakthrough compared to previous power, it is still difficult to achieve maneuverability and flexibility, especially, it is not a supercharged engine.
On plateaus, performance will also drop rapidly.
Everyone knows the shortcomings of this wheeled infantry fighting vehicle, but it is better to have it than not. First, solve the problem of existence or not. This is the first priority.
And now?
What appears in front of them now is a perfect infantry fighting vehicle! Looking at its tires, three axles, equally spaced, this alone is enough to make people shocked!
Everyone originally thought that the one that appeared here would be a truck, a military heavy truck, but they didn't know that the one that appeared was a beautiful and atmospheric wheeled armored vehicle!
"This is the first wheeled armored vehicle developed by our first machine factory." Qin Zhenhua said: "During the development process, it widely referenced the world's advanced technology and integrated our existing technical capabilities. However, due to some
The accessories are not up to date, so we still purchased some parts from the international market, but in the future, we will definitely gradually turn to self-produced ones."
"Is it purchased internationally?" asked Mr. He: "What have you purchased?"
"For example, its steering machine is the hydraulic power steering system of the international famous brand ZF company." Qin Zhenhua said: "Although it has not been completely assembled, when the test run is completed, we can guarantee that we can use a finger to hold it.
Its steering wheel turns.”
After all, the first machine factory is engaged in crawler chassis. This is the first time I have entered a wheeled chassis, so I must purchase a lot of components from outside. Although it can be produced in China, it is definitely not so good.
Speaking of steering machines, it is also very particular. The truck steering wheel of this era is just an ordinary worm steering machine. It has no hydraulic power at all. It cannot be turned on in place. It can only be moved when it is opened. Moreover, it has to be used.
When the Qilin arm comes, sometimes the driver will stand up and swing the steering wheel hard when he is anxious.
With hydraulic power, you can turn the steering wheel with just one finger? In this era, it sounds like a fantasy. However, imported Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks seem to be able to do this.
