Chapter 966 Mercedes-Benz will also participate in the exhibition
Long before World War I, Daimler and Mercedes-Benz, as two companies with no relationship, had begun to produce transportation equipment for the German army. During the war, they participated in the development of two light tanks, LK-1 and LK-2.
Of course, there was no consequence in the end, and the war was over.
After the end of World War I, the German economy began to move towards a cold winter. The automobile industry was no exception. In order to get rid of the crisis, the two companies merged into Daimler-Benz Automobile Company.
After its establishment, the company continued to actively cooperate with the needs of the German government and constantly tried new areas. In addition to producing military vehicles for the military, it also began to enter the field of German tank design.
The most representative one is of course the No. 3 medium tank prototype code-named ZW. This prototype defeated other competitors in the 1937 prototype test and obtained the final production order from the German side.
When it comes to German tanks during World War II, many people will mention Tiger style, Tiger King, etc. However, in fact, the meaning of the No. 3 tank is also very great. Among them, the most representative one is that this tank is in the world.
The first tank that is suspended using a stand-alone torsion rod.
A torsion bar across the body of the car to solve the shock absorption problem of the suspension system is a very successful attempt. The dynamic travel is very large, the structure is simple, and it takes up little space in the car body, and it has very good elasticity and reliability. This kind of suspension
Until now, it is also the main suspension plan for tanks.
Later, due to the continuous sending of tank technology, the No. 3 tank began to retreat to the second line. However, its main position was still replaced by the Leopard tank developed by Daimler-Benz.
After World War II, Mercedes-Benz has focused its main energy on the research and development of civilian vehicles, but it soon recovered and began to enter the military field again. Not to mention anything else, Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks are often used in the army, except Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks.
In addition, Mercedes-Benz also has many professional military vehicles.
For example, the Bobcat Armored Reconnaissance Vehicle.
The department that manufactures civilian vehicles will soon be involved in the field, namely wheeled infantry fighting vehicles. This bobcat armored reconnaissance vehicle is one of them. This wheeled vehicle adopts a four-axis drive solution.
In the late 1970s, a large number of troops were equipped.
But later, due to the scarcity of orders, the production had to be stopped. In recent years, the Germans have planned to study new wheeled armored vehicles, and at the same time, they have planned to sell this bobcat armored reconnaissance vehicle.
Since the Eastern Power is going to hold this international defense exhibition, Mercedes-Benz will naturally take the initiative and take out this wheeled armored reconnaissance vehicle.
When Qin Zhenhua heard Mia talk about this vehicle, he became interested: "This car has an eight-wheel structure."
"That's right, what you are producing now are all six-wheeled armored vehicles. It's not easy to rise from six-wheel to eight-wheeled, especially the steering system. If the designer's level is not enough, it will even be difficult to turn." Mia introduced
.
The automobile branch of the first machine factory is separated from other factories. Mia is mainly in the automobile branch, so she will not see the secrets of other first machine factories. However, the wheeled infantry warfare produced by the first machine factory
The car is also in the automobile branch, and Mia can occasionally see it.
The products of the first machine factory are all six-wheeled. So far, they do not have eight-wheeled infantry fighting vehicles.
So, this is a blank. Even if a machine manufacturer introduces these technologies to produce, Mercedes-Benz can make a fortune.
From six wheels to eight wheels, it is not only a problem with an extra row of tires, but more importantly, the added row of tires also requires the ability to turn!
Now, in this era, the mainstream way of heavy trucks is still the rear double axle, with two drive axles in the back, eight tires, and a row of steering bridges in front and two tires. On the road, I have never seen two rows of steering bridges.
The vehicle appeared.
It was not until the late 1990s and even entered the new millennium that it would not have risen in the first four and eight, and it would have become the king of bicycles.
The first four are four tires in the front, two rows of steering axles, and eight rows of rear, eight tires in the back, two rows of driving axles, and a row of steering axles in front, so if there is a steering wheel on the road, it will be a tire blown out.
, it will not get out of control, and the safety factor of the vehicle will be increased.
Later, there were even monsters like the first and the last four, which were purely the product of policy.
Although those car factories with poor technology have installed a row of steering wheels in front, they often have strange problems of eating tires. The tires are like being chewed by something, only eating that part of them, and they are running in the vehicle.
During the process, the second row of steering wheels will continue to tremble, causing the steering wheel to shake.
In short, without diamonds and without porcelain work, it is not so easy to add a row of steering wheels.
When it comes to military armored vehicles, adding this row is even more complicated, because armored vehicles use thick off-road tires, and the steering resistance is already large, and if not done well, it will be difficult to turn.
Qin Zhenhua nodded: "Yes, the difficulty of steering is a big problem, but there is a way to solve it. Just like your Bobcat armored vehicle, can it be solved simply? We welcome this armored vehicle to participate in the exhibition
When arranging the booth, you will also find a suitable booth for you. I see, it will be close to our booth in the Yimai Factory."
Since the first machine factory is the dominant, it will definitely occupy the best booth. The Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks from the first machine factory must also participate in the exhibition. The Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks can be used as a transition and are connected to the Mercedes-Benz booths, which is also
It was a help from Qin Zhenhua to his old friends within his ability.
"So good," Mia said: "Also, aren't you collecting emblems? This is the emblem we made."
As he said that, Mia took out a piece of paper. Qin Zhenhua just glanced at it and shook his head immediately: "Of course this is not possible. Your emblem cannot be passed here."
What kind of emblem is it? There is a trident logo in the middle, and then, in the three separate spaces, there are the logos of the Eastern Power, Germany, and a tank. If this emblem is hung out, it is simply for Mercedes-Benz
The factory advertises.
If I agree, the above will not agree.
"Qin, you are so stubborn. Among your military equipment, we have quite a lot of German products. Now, this exhibition will promote our friendship, isn't that good? You are so resistant to doing it
What?"
Qin Zhenhua stretched out his hand: "The palms and backs of hands are all flesh, but your painting also reminds me that when we specially print brochures, we can print all the logos of all manufacturers. At that time, we will do it.
The trident logo is placed in a prominent place, is that OK?"
