Chapter 731: The Ultimate Off-Road King

Audi has nothing to say, Jin Xiaoqiang hasn't thought about knocking something back from them yet, because counting around, it seems that Audi's bottom pressing technology is just a few, and it seems that Audi is also the saddest, because their technology is the brand that has been copied the most by Jin Xiaoqiang.

What in-cylinder direct injection, what layered combustion, what quattno. The full-time four-wheel drive technology, as well as the skeleton structure, the all-aluminum body, and so on, were originally Audi's series of unique skills, and now they all seem to have fallen into the hands of Huayang Power.

If you want Audi to come up with some good things, it seems really unlikely.

But Mercedes-Benz is different, before Jin Xiaoqiang's rebirth, although Mercedes-Benz has gone into decline, but Mercedes-Benz in many fields, but they have their unique skills, and these unique skills are generally Mercedes-Benz's proudest symbols, just take out one, can make Jin Xiaoqiang salivate.

In fact, the reason why Mercedes-Benz has been in the field of luxury high-end brands for many years is that it is very simple, their driving feeling technology is indeed inferior to BMW, but in the field of large-displacement engines and driving safety, they can indeed dominate one side.

Especially in terms of driving safety, when other automobile companies are committed to lightening their medium-sized cars in order to achieve the purpose of more fuel-saving, Mercedes-Benz's middle-class car body weight has never been less than two tons, which is a good illustration of the safety of Mercedes-Benz body.

And their safe driving technology is not only reflected by the weight of the body, what night vision driving system, what body driving stability system, these electronic safety systems are Mercedes-Benz's own unique skills.

Although they don't use any Bosch ESP, who would dare to say that Mercedes-Benz's body stability system can't?

Moreover, in the field of high-end luxury cars, Mercedes-Benz's ability to create a luxurious interior environment in the car is beyond the reach of other models.

Of course, if you have to say that there are those models in the Mercedes-Benz brand that make Jin Xiaoqiang salivate, then you have to mention the brand Umonico.

After the end of the Second World War, when Germany was facing major problems such as economic recession and lack of materials, farmers were undoubtedly the main force in Germany's economic recovery.

So Albert. Together, father and son Friedrich designed and produced the first Umonik car, which was originally intended to be an agricultural vehicle that could adapt to all kinds of mud conditions.

In 1946 Umonik was born, and in 1947 they were linked to Mercedes-Benz because they used a 10,000-horsepower diesel engine provided by Mercedes-Benz. ”

In 1951, Mercedes-Benz completely took over the Umonique brand, but at the beginning, Mercedes-Benz looked down on this brand that specialized in producing agricultural machinery for farmers, so he was not allowed to hang the Mercedes-Benz three-fork logo.

It wasn't until 1953, when Mercedes-Benz optimized Umonique for the first time, adding a closed cockpit to him, making him a true all-weather utility vehicle, that Mercedes-Benz allowed Umonik to wear the Mercedes-Benz three-pronged logo.

And after that, because of the Cold War with the former Soviet Union, Umonik from 1955, has changed its style, no longer a special agricultural vehicle for agriculture, but into a military vehicle, and it is precisely because of this more than 20 years of confrontation experience that the brand was quickly reborn, under the training of the Germans' powerful mechanical ability, this car soon became a monster-level off-road vehicle that can be arbitrarily vertical and horizontal, and a multi-functional Rantu vehicle.

Since then, the Umonik brand has undergone a variety of changes, constantly changing into various extended shapes, and finally becoming a world-renowned off-road vehicle and utility vehicle brand in its own right. …,

Speaking of which, many people may still not know much about the brand Umonico, because the Mercedes-Benz that everyone usually sees on the road is nothing more than those Mercedes-Benz S-class luxury cars, or those Mercedes-Benz off-road vehicles, but Umonico, everyone feels that they have really not seen many of them.

In fact, the brand of Umonik actually lives around us, such as the large fire truck with the Mercedes-Benz three-pronged logo driven by the fire brigade that you once saw on the road, or the truck with the Mercedes-Benz logo driven by the Hong Kong police in the Hong Kong dramas that you often see on TV, or the ambulance with the Mercedes-Benz logo, etc., those basically belong to the models or variants of Umonico.

In China, this kind of Umonik model is indeed very rare, out of some wealthy cities, there will be so many firetrucks of this model, this kind of car is really rare for ordinary people in China, so everyone does not know much about this brand.

But in the hearts of hardcore fans, especially off-road fans, what Mercedes-Benz G-class, what Wrangler, all are nonsense, only Umonik can be called the ultimate off-road vehicle, because he is a well-deserved off-road king.

The German military's highest praise for Umonik was: "Where Umonik can't get by, the Leopard tank certainly can't get by." ””

Umonik can only say that the number of holdings in the Celestial Empire is very small, but it cannot be said that there are none, there are about 2,000 to 3,000 units in the country, and the main reason why the number of holdings is so small is that this car is too expensive.

The leaders would rather spend more money and buy some ordinary cars to make do with them, rather than buy such an expensive work car, after all, such a work car is not as comfortable as a high-end car. ”

And there are only 2,000 polymorphs in the country, and the Umonique is generally in the oil-producing areas of the border provinces, and the reigning Celestial Empire Petroleum or Celestial Petrochemical is working, or it is a special aerospace vehicle belonging to the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, as for other ordinary cities, his survival rate is basically zero. ”

And the domestic requirements for buying this kind of car are very strict, first of all, he can't enter the city, and you need to have a B and a driver's license, and the most important thing is that his price will not be less than 2 million. ”

But abroad, despite the high price of Umonik, because of his ultimate off-road ability, this car still sells well around the world.

He is mainly used in firefighting, disaster relief, and exploration projects, although expensive, but can also sell hundreds of thousands of vehicles every year, making a lot of profits for Mercedes-Benz.

Jin Xiaoqiang is now thinking about building a truck production plant, so of course he admires Umonik, who is known as the king of off-road.

The last time he negotiated with the leadership of Volkswagen, he knocked on several truck chassis and gearboxes from Volkswagen, if you don't compare with Umonic, the chassis of those trucks is also very good, but if you compare with Umonic, the chassis of those trucks can only be said to be nothing.

The chassis of the too dragged and the lion is good, but these chassis are all smooth and paved roads, once they get to the rough places of the road, these models have to lie down.

Jin Xiaoqiang is engaged in a truck company, not just for ordinary transport trucks, to be honest, in this market, you will face very fierce competition in the Celestial Empire, so if you want to fight your way out of this market, then you must come up with your own special products.

And Umonik's super off-road ability is very much in line with Jin Xiaoqiang's concept.

The main purpose of large trucks is not only to put them on the road for transportation, but also to many teams that often work in the field, such as exploration teams. …,

But in this regard, the large domestic truck manufacturing companies are almost a blank.

There are also many projects that need to be constructed in the field, especially in large-scale engineering projects with rugged roads, such as projects such as railways or highways into Tibet, which require this kind of engineering vehicles with strong off-road ability, and because of the working environment, the off-road ability of engineering vehicles is also quite high.

At this time, this is the best stage for this kind of big truck with super off-road ability to show itself.

Let's not talk about anything else for the time being, let's first talk about the task that Jin Xiaoqiang and Li Yifeng received to build the Tanner Line oil pipeline in Eastern Siberia, thinking that many of the construction areas are barren mountains and mountains, and the construction situation is very difficult, and there are many vehicles with very strong off-road ability in those places.

According to the forecast report sent by Li Yifeng to Jin Xiaoqiang two days ago, their construction team will need more than 200 such large-scale engineering transport vehicles within the construction period alone, and they will spend millions of sound cloth just to pay for the rental car.

All over the world, iron ore mines in Brazil, iron ore mines in Australia, and many mineral resource producing areas in Africa all need this kind of large transport vehicles with strong off-road ability.

Moreover, a variety of models evolved from this model with super off-road ability are also very marketable in the market, such as fire trucks, ambulances and a series of special models, which are controlled by Umonique in this part of the market in many countries.

But in many countries that are not wealthy, they can't afford to use the expensive Umonique, so is there a need for a more cost-effective ordinary special model to meet this part of the market?

These are all opportunities!

Jin Xiaoqiang and their Huayang Power also have a relationship with Umonic, that is, when they were designing and producing their armor luxury off-road vehicles, they once copied Umonic's half-moon bridge suspension chassis, but this is only a part of the design of the Umonik chassis, and the real essence and mystery are still in the hands of Mercedes-Benz. ”…… as
