Chapter 345: Resurrection (2/4)
"Powertrain?" Waldegard blinked, "It seems like we can ask the Japanese for help?" The Japanese seem to have some accomplishment in small motives. β
He is also smart, knowing that the Americans, who are accustomed to large-displacement motives, simply do not have motives for cars with a displacement of less than 1.oL...... It is used to drive motors and lawn mowers.
Boss Lin had the urge to cover his face: "Don't you know that the Japanese ask for a very dark price?" β
"Is the asking price dark? I think it's pretty good, huh? Waldegard looked at Lin Zheng with a cute expression, "The Japanese people I used to deal with were very polite. β
"I don't care what your impression of the Japanese is, from now on, the company will never cooperate with me without my permission! Whoever dares to violate this rule will wait for the checkout and leave! Boss Lin looked around domineeringly, "Who has an opinion?" β
"I didn't...... I listen to you, boss. Waldegard immediately shrunk his neck extremely without a position: who is the boss who gave himself motivation Waldegard is still very clear, although I don't know why the boss has such a big opinion about the Japanese, but this is not a problem, since the boss said that he is not allowed to cooperate with the Japanese without his orders, then it is better not to cooperate...... When there is an opportunity to cooperate, it is always okay to report to the boss, right?
"Very good, that's right," Lin Zheng, who was still stern just now, immediately changed his smiling face, "Lao Wa, you can actually ask these technicians from my country that you want to keep, and ask them what their attitude is towards the Japanese, believe me, none of them like the Japanese." β
Is that the case? Waldegard was a little unconvinced, how could this be the case in this world? But the next moment, when he casually asked a technician in his 4o years old who was getting out of the car with a dirty body, the maintenance technician from China spat fiercely: "Little Japan? I'm bah~! Manager Wa, let me tell you, there is no good thing in the little Japan of the dog & day! β
Tile manager? Lin Zheng wanted to laugh out loud: Who was so talented to give this guy such a strange name? Is it because I often scream at the old tile, the old tile?
I thought about it. Lin Zheng asked Waldegard, "As for the power system, since you like Japanese small-displacement motors, do you know the A1TO?" Suzuki, do you think that powertrain can meet your requirements? β
βa1toοΌβ Waldegard blinked, frowned and thought for a long time, and finally patted his head in a sudden realization. "It's the kind of car that's as ugly as a little turtle? I seem to have the impression that, if I'm not mistaken, we seem to have one here, but the power is ...... I haven't driven it, so I don't know how the motivation is. β
And it's no wonder, as a former World Rally Championship annual champion. This product used to drive a performance car, and then there was no car, and there may not really be a chance to drive a car like Alto.
Do you have a second-hand Alto here? Lin Zheng hurriedly stood up, "Total, let's go and have a look." β
There was indeed an Alto in his second-hand car dealership, and the iconic "little turtle" figure was not an ordinary pocket-sized, Waldegard opened the car first and looked at it. Nodding to Lin Zheng, "The 796m1 inline three-cylinder motor, 26.5 kilowatts, and four manual boxes seem to be pretty good." β
He thought that this small car was only more than 2o horsepower, but he didn't expect that it would have a maximum power output of 36 horsepower? This was somewhat of a surprise to Waldegard.
"Go up and try it, get a feel for it."
Waldegaard was not polite, and after turning on the power, the battery was already out of power, and he directly took the cable from the battery in the car next to him. Once, twice, the car trembled and moved.
"Can you still move after stopping for so long?" Waldegard was really surprised, he didn't know how long this car had been parked here, anyway, it seemed that this car was here to listen, just now it took him and others to clean this car in about 2o minutes, maybe it was parked here for a year or two, such a long time. The engine and the oil in the gearbox may have deteriorated, but I didn't expect the car to not only move normally, but also "eager to try" to leave?
Looking at the fuel gauge, it seems that there is still a third of the fuel. Regardless of whether the oil was good or not, Waldegard kicked the accelerator, and the car immediately rushed out happily......
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"How?" As soon as Waldegard's car, which had been enjoying himself near the dealership, stopped, Lin Zheng immediately asked, "How is the performance?" β
"Okay, but I feel a little low?" Waldegard smacked his lips and said, "If the power can be increased by another 1o horsepower, the torque can be increased to 7o Nm. M,This motive is perfect.,Well,The problem of vibration still needs to be controlled.,The vibration of the motive is still a bit big.,But it's not a problem.,Leave it to me......"
As soon as he talked about technical issues, Waldegaard's eyes lit up, and he chattered on and on with a long list of terms that Lin Zheng didn't understand at all.
"Stop!" Lin Zheng finally couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly shouted to stop, "Lao Wa, you said that there is still a lot of room for improvement in the performance of this motive?" β
"Of course, this is the motivation of an O.8 displacement, but the power is only 36 horsepower, don't you think it's too low? About 45 horsepower is just right; The compression ratio is only about 9.4, which is simply a waste of this cast iron cylinder, and it should be raised to at least 9.8......" The level of the former Rc world champion was completely revealed at this moment, and these technical problems seemed to flow in his blood, and at this moment, all the knowledge was activated.
"I don't want to hear so much, I just want to know that, as you ask, the power reaches 45 hp and the torque is increased to 7o Nm. M, how much do you think the cost of this motor will increase? Lin Zheng interrupted him and said politely.
"If it is well designed and industrialized for mass production, it will not exceed 8o dollars!" Waldegard's tone was extremely affirmative, "In addition, with the increase in power and torque, we can change this four-manual gearbox to a five, and apply our automatic clutch technology......"
"Good!" Without waiting for Waldegard to say anything, Lin Zheng immediately slapped the board, "It's decided, Lao Wa, you go to this motive now, and by the way, you can also figure out the problem of changing boxes......"
"But the boss ......," Waldegard cautiously reminded Lin Zheng, "the Japanese will definitely raise the price of this assembly by at least 3oo dollars." β
"Who said we were going to buy a powertrain with the Japanese?" Lin Zheng asked rhetorically.
"But...... Isn't this the powertrain of the Japanese company Suzuki? Waldegard was confused.
This time, it was Lin Zheng's turn to smile proudly: "Lao Wa, now you go to study the automatic clutch, the improvement of the performance of this motivation and the matching with the 5 manual gearbox, and after you come up with the new technical reform plan, believe me, I can guarantee that the price of this powertrain will not be higher than 2ooo dollars!" β
"$2ooo?" Waldegard was firmly frightened by Lin Zheng's words, "Boss, aren't you joking with me?" β
"Trust your boss!" Lin Zheng smiled and patted Waldegard's shoulder: he already had a belly case.
"By the way, you just said that MCC is working on a hybrid powertrain for this little car of theirs? Lao Wa, you have a mental preparation in advance, your boss and I will start the research of the electric drive system soon, and at the same time, your boss I also have a lot of shares in a nickel-chromium battery company," Lin Zheng patted Waldegard on the shoulder, "So, from the design of this car, you must be prepared for the future hybrid I think at most by 2ooo years, we will be able to come up with our first generation of hybrid system." β
"Boss, are you telling the truth?" Waldegard was almost thrilled: the boss was already working on a hybrid system?
"You think I'm going to joke with you about this kind of thing?" Lin Zheng asked rhetorically.
Waldegard immediately relieved his heart: the boss was right, this kind of thing really can't be joked about!
Poor Waldegard, excitedly raised his hand and put it down, don't blame him, who let Lin Zheng give him such a big surprise without warning.
No wonder the boss was able to make the business so big, and this foresight is not comparable to ordinary people.
After being excited for a while, Waldegard calmed down, and forced himself to suppress his excitement and said to Lin Zheng, "Boss, since you have started to make a hybrid system, it is simple now, we only need to have a set of about 1.oL motivation with a subbox assembly, the power system is basically solved, and the rest is the water mill for debugging and testing;"
"You're right, if you want to maximize space and minimise shape, rear-wheel drive and this four-tyre solution with four tires on the four corners of the body as much as possible is the best choice, as for the suspension system...... Boss, do you really think it's necessary to use the front and rear MacPherson? I think the front MacPherson and the rear torsion beam will do. β
Don't think that MacPherson suspension is simple, some knowledge of racing cars are clear, those Rc racing cars regardless of the structure of the suspension system of the prototype, when modified, all will be modified into front and rear MacPherson, adjustable number jΓΉ, easy to maintain and replace, but relatively, the cost of a pair of MacPherson suspension is much higher than the torsion beam suspension, the price of this car is not intended to sell how expensive, as much as possible to save costs is a must, and then use the front and rear MacPherson ......
Lin Zheng also felt that what Waldegard said made sense, the front and rear MacPherson independent suspension was a bit too high, and after thinking about it, Lin Zheng said, "That's it, the front MacPherson and rear torsion beam of the low-profile model, but the tuning should not be too hard; The high-end ones are the front and rear MacPherson...... This can be used as our selling point. β
