In the current world, if you mention trucks, you can't help but think of the brand Wanguo.
Of course, if you mention Wanguo Truck, many people who are not involved in the field of public transportation may not be familiar with this brand, but if you mention Optimus Prime and Megatron in the famous Transformers movie a few years later, people may not be able to say that they don't know.
The predecessor of IWC Trucks was actually a small business specializing in the manufacture of harvesters, McMick, and later as the United States became an agricultural power, and the expansion of the country, this enterprise also continued to develop.
Later, after continuous development, the company became a large conglomerate specializing in agricultural machinery, and in 1902 it cooperated with two other enterprises to become the now famous Universal Combine Harvester Company.
At that time, the main business involved in the business was construction machinery, agricultural machinery, trucks and buses.
Later, with the rise of the United States in World War I and World War II, the company's truck business continued to expand, especially during World War II, their WB series trucks, with the boots of American GIs, and crossed the ocean into the world.
And this KB series of trucks is also the prototype of the Soviet era Giss truck, and the first truck liberation CA10 in our country.
In 1979, the company had to be restructured due to a series of decision-making mistakes, conflicts with employees, and a series of economic scandals involving the company's top management.
The newly formed company was renamed Voyage International Group, while IWC Business Vehicles was retained as a business specializing in the manufacture of heavy-duty trucks, school buses, buses, as well as large engines.
Although after such a toss, the Wanguo brand is greatly damaged, but after several years of recuperation and the dependence of the U.S. domestic economy on large transport trucks, this company has quietly come to life.
And in the field of heavy-duty trucks, it is constantly making achievements, which is also the main reason why a well-known machinery and equipment manufacturing company like Caterpillar chooses to cooperate with this company.
In fact, the CT660 launched later by Caterpillar is actually slightly different from the PAYSTAR of the International Group, and many other components are actually completely using the PAYSTAR parts of the PAYSTAR, including the most important chassis and engine.
IT'S JUST THAT THIS PAYSTAR IS THE LATEST GENERATION OF PRODUCTS THAT HANGXING GROUP HAS ONLY BEGUN TO DEVELOP IN 2008, AND THE HIGHLIGHT OF THIS NEW CAR IS OF COURSE THE TWO LATEST DIESEL ENGINES CARRIED ON THIS PAYSTAR.
The famous brand of these two diesel engines in the Hangxing Group is MAXXFORCE, and after being used by CAT OEM, they became longer CTL1 and CT13 engines.
The reason why Hangxing Group is so generous to let CAT Group use their engine and chassis technology for OEM production is also because since the financial crisis of the year, the sales performance of Hangxing Group's products has been sluggish, especially their Wanguo Commercial Vehicle.
Because of the sluggish world economy, it has also led to the continued downturn and recession of the transportation industry, which has caused their trucks to perform poorly in the market.
The International Group has also tried all kinds of ways to increase their sales, but it has always had little effect.
They had only developed the latest PAYSTAR in the year, but they had invested a lot of money on this model, but the market was sluggish, and the sales of the new truck had been poor since it was launched
At this time, Caterpillar, the overlord in the field of machinery, came to the door, and they happened to intend to test the water in the field of truck trucks, so the International Commercial Vehicle simply pushed the boat to ask for a large amount of money from Caterpillar, and then opened up its own technical field to Caterpillar to share. …,
Therefore, after getting the technology of Wanguo, Caterpillar redesigned the shape of his own truck, and then stuffed the technology from Wanguo into it, so this CATCT600 belonging to Caterpillar was born.
The IWC has not been very good at promoting its own new products, which of course has to do with their economic strength, but what kind of company is Carter?
He and Hangxing Group are not an enterprise of the same magnitude, in the field of mechanical construction, Caterpillar can definitely be called a well-deserved overlord!
In the world, anyone who understands machinery and likes heavy metal style mechanical control is almost no one who is not familiar with this super overlord in the construction machinery industry.
Originally, Caterpillar made such a heavy truck, but it was just to plan to break the ice in the field of trucks, you must know that they have been specializing in a variety of construction vehicles, such as excavators, mining vehicles, crawler bulldozers, etc., but in terms of truck trucks, they have not yet broken through!
So after the CT660, which was originally a ticket, was built, Caterpillar began to pay attention to him slowly, and later spent a lot of money on advertising, and it made the prototype of this car, Big Mike, the prototype of Megatron in Transformers 3.
In such a large-scale promotion, as well as Caterpillar's prestige in the construction machinery industry, this CT660, which was originally a ticket nature, has also begun to be slowly promoted in the field of construction machinery.
Because it belongs to Caterpillar's product, people are more willing to believe in the quality of CAT, so the performance of this truck has been good since it was launched, and the fate of his cousin in IWC can be said to be completely different.
With a load capacity of 68 tons per ton, this is still an unmodified cargo capacity, and if such a truck is brought to the truck market of the Celestial Empire, it will not immediately cause a sensation?
Although this car also does not have a rest room, as a tractor, the load capacity of this car is enough to attract many transport owners
And his two 5-liter 4-cylinder diesel engines, as well as 12-liter 6-cylinder diesel engines, are quite amazing, which is equivalent to clearly telling those transport owners that this car still has a lot of surplus modification capabilities, even if a large trailer is added to the back, we can also pull it.
This kind of data is definitely a boon for those who understand trucks.
What is the current data of the trucks bought in China?
Jiefang heavy truck, 11 liters of displacement, but at most can only pull more than 30 tons of load capacity, and after the change, it can only pull more than 50 tons.
The rest of the data of Auman heavy trucks, Dongfeng Tianlong and other large trucks, is also the same, everyone is half a catty, and the fuel consumption of those heavy trucks in China, but it does not have to be low at all.
At present, the trucks used in China are basically the same as the civilian passenger car market before the emergence of Huayang Power, and they are basically used products that lag behind the international generation.
Even after this year, after the new launch of the Jiefang J6, it still maintains a displacement of 1H, and the traction is only a ton, and the traction after modification is only 60 tons.
If you increase the weight of traction, it is not impossible, but if you do that, you can only hurt the car, but in order to make a living, many transport owners will greatly increase the amount of traction, after all, the livelihood problem is in front of you, in the face of the domestic messy road environment, if you don't hang it, you have to lose money, so many owners would rather hurt the car, but also hang.
Although Jin Xiaoqiang does not like those trucks that are modified without permission, he also fully understands the survival pressure faced by those owners who are engaged in transportation. …,
Road officials want to eat, ** to eat, transport owners also have to eat (this paragraph is written more vaguely, but I believe everyone understands, in order to prevent the infestment of river crabs, I will not write in detail about the road), so the final result of several aspects is that the large trucks running on the road are almost not overloaded.
And his original purpose in developing this car is actually to make the domestic transportation industry more standardized, so that those owners who are engaged in transportation can try to reduce the situation of modifying vehicles without permission.
After all, since the modified car to compare that control, the danger of driving on the road is relatively large, and the modified truck will hurt the engine, so those large trucks generally do not take a few years, they are already scarred, and some are directly scrapped or overhauled, which increases the burden of those transport owners, and the environmental pollution ability of the modified trucks is quite powerful, I believe that we have not seen the kind of hanging big hanging, spewing black smoke of the truck from the side of the scene.
The Huayang power research and development of this truck can just make up for the original intention of the owners to modify the vehicle privately, the traction capacity of the car is relatively large, and even if it is modified, it can also be modified more powerful, it is estimated that if this car is modified, the traction force of a hundred tons should be easy and stress-free.
And the engine of American origin will also make this car appear more solid, and it will not be like a domestic engine, which will be tired like an old scalper in just a few years, and almost every time it runs, it will enter an overhaul plant.
And some advantages can become the reason for those owners who are engaged in transportation to choose this car.
As long as this Big Mac can be manufactured, Jin Xiaoqiang believes that no one will buy it, and when the time comes to send it for approval, he can also take Uncle Liu's route, and I believe that it should not be difficult to get it approved.
If I remember correctly, the international business car, but in the year to return to the Celestial Empire market, and also intend to within a few years, to achieve the top five performance in the country, if this time they do not occupy the market early, then wait until people really come in, it is not easy to say!. )
